What is that? He Lou asked silently.
Lu Yanli was silent and shook his head.
Judging from the sounds, it sounded like a zombie, but he couldn't be sure for the time being.
He specifically sent the news about Li Fangzhi and the curse to Junior Sister Li. If she and Master Lin were in cahoots, they should come over immediately after receiving the news. And if she went against Master Lin, then… Logically, Junior Sister Li should delay for a while.
At this time, there was only the sound of zombies jumping, but no one could hear their conversation. Could it be... something happened to her
The heartbeat above his head continued. He looked at the time on his wrist, calculating something, and said silently to He Lou: First you, then me.
What? He Lou was a little confused.
Lu Yanli didn't intend to explain more, and repeated the lip shape again: First you, then me. You run down, I go up.
In the darkness and scarlet, he stared at He Lou's eyes. Those eyes made He Lou easily think of the look of a wolf staring at its prey.
But he was sure that Lu Yanli's prey at the moment was not him.
Who could that be
As soon as he finished speaking, the beating sound on the roof changed.
A familiar brass bell rang out, but this bell sound was different from what they had heard before, it was harsh, sharp, and urgent, and even the jumping sound became hasty.
Objects fell, bells rang, screams appeared, and the sound of metal colliding made one's teeth ache... The two of them lay there quietly, motionless.
Unable to enter 405, they returned to Helou where they had hidden before and found Feng Chuchu's head under the bed. They dug a hole there and reached the sealed 404 downstairs, then dug another hole in the floor of 404 and reached the mezzanine where countless corpses had been piled.
As soon as they entered, the stench of blood and rot was unbearable for the two, but they had to endure it in order to survive. After identifying the direction, they crawled to the bottom of room 405 little by little, and waited for time to pass without moving.
The noise gradually died down.
The young man held his sword and looked around.
He placed Lan Zhiyu in the room. Her beautiful face was pasted everywhere in the room, smiling at him. He stared at the smiling face, trying to calm his breathing, and stroked his face, hiding the ferocious appearance of the green face and fangs under the handsome appearance of a young man, and smiled again.
"Lu Yanli! He Lou?"
"Are you still alive?"
"I have sorted out the problem, you can come out now."
Lu Yanli and He Lou lay in the mezzanine, even their breathing slowed down to a long, long time. Facing Master Lin's anxious search, they did not even breathe, for fear of being discovered.
He Lou was still a little confused, but Lu Yanli knew that Sister Li believed the message he had secretly sent to her.
Master Lin should have believed it, after all, the body of Li Fangzhi downstairs was not fake.
He didn't hear the woman's voice. That Junior Sister Li wasn't here? So who was he fighting with just now? Anyway, he didn't believe that the other party really wanted to get rid of Lan Zhiyu.
No matter which floor the boy went to or how he asked, all he got was silence. Time passed by minute by minute, and there was nearly an hour left.
This time might be Lan Zhiyu's deadline. The boy's voice was no longer gentle, but became more intense with each voice.
“Come out now!!”
"I know you are still alive, come out quickly!"
He suppressed his anger and searched upstairs and downstairs, but found nothing.
Where will they go
The boy couldn't figure out where they were, and he looked from upstairs to downstairs, his eyes bloodshot with anger.
From the body of Li Fangzhi downstairs, it can be seen that the curse is real and extremely strange. He cannot solve it, so he can only pin his hopes on finding a suitable carrier again. If he can't find one again, Lan Zhiyu can only stay in this body and can never step out of the apartment again.
How could he possibly bear it
But now, all the people in the city were gone, and the flying zombies he used for transportation were also destroyed, so it was difficult for him to leave the city within the time limit.
"Where are you? Come out!" The roar outside became even more shrill, almost hoarse. It was not difficult to imagine the other party's current situation.
Fifty minutes left.
“Come out!!” He slashed towards the other rooms with his sword, breathing slightly, his chest heaving violently.
He had a feeling that the two men must still be in the apartment.
Gotta find them... gotta find them!
Yes... If they are in this apartment, how could I not find them
It must be hidden there! I used the puppets to set up a floor that no one could find... I wonder how they got in? I was also deceived.
After calming down, the young man frowned, returned to the fourth floor, and plunged his sword into the ground.
He Lou was still nervously waiting for the countdown, when suddenly, a bit of debris fell beside his ear. The next second, a sword grazed his cheek and then retracted upwards.
A big hole appeared in the floor, and the boy's face appeared in the hole.
"I found you." He grinned a little.
…
The room was dim, and filled with a nauseatingly strong smell of blood. Weirdly twisted runes crisscrossed with scarlet blood threads, and the yellow rune paper rustled in the cold breeze that rose from the ground, and the bright red runes seemed to be dripping with blood.
The beautiful faces of the women on the walls and in the room gradually smiled as the brass bells rang out, and their dark eyes gradually focused on the man in the formation.
There were also thousands of blood threads formed by his own blood, connecting to the eyes of each beautiful painting.
That is Helou.
The brain that used to be able to analyze things calmly was now completely groggy and I couldn't think of anything. All I could feel was the blood in my body gradually cooling down, causing my limbs to become a little stiff and cold.
And... how long
After they were discovered, the young man, who was already covered in scars, had no time to play along with them. After Lu Yanli shouted in a low voice, He Lou suddenly had an idea and realized what Lu Yanli had meant before. He ran downstairs.
As expected, the boy caught them back, but he was the one trapped in the center of the magic circle. Lu Yanli was placed aside, watching everything happening in front of him with horror.
An extremely cold breath gradually came over him, and everything in front of him began to become unclear. The delicate face of the woman sitting opposite him gradually faded, and her long hair gradually became shorter. The face that was so beautiful that it didn't look like a living person gradually regained its vitality.
In contrast, the shadow behind He Lou gradually grew long hair, his figure became gradually slimmer, and his facial lines softened bit by bit.
The boy looked delighted.
He Lou was groggy and it was hard for him to think about anything. He tried to open his eyes and saw Li Fangwan, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly screaming in pain and raising her hands to tightly pinch his neck. The force was so great that her tongue popped out after a while. But she closed her teeth uncontrollably and bit her tongue.
After a while, half of the bloody tongue fell off and the whole person collapsed to the ground. Li Fangwan's expression was horrified and she didn't understand what happened until her death.
During the mission, residents are not allowed to leave the apartment. Lan Zhiyu was allowed to leave, but Li Fangwan violated the rules.
Seeing this scene, the boy became more certain of the existence of the curse.
Fortunately, he discovered the problem in time and was able to remedy it.
He watched the He Lou gradually changing in the arena, his expression mad and joyful.
Fifteen minutes left.
The nails gradually grew longer, the chest gradually bulged, and the skin became whiter...
“Ahh—”
Lu Yanli, who had been tied up and put aside as food reserve, seemed to be suddenly stimulated, jumped up and ran out of the door. Although he looked terrified, he was still careful not to touch anything he shouldn't touch.
The young man was in a critical situation and had no time to pay attention to him, so he just let him go and continued to be busy. Unexpectedly, not long after, he accidentally glanced out the window and saw the other party running away quickly outside the apartment, and was about to escape from his sight!
It turns out that he is the one who is not controlled by the curse? !
The young man's mind went blank with a bang, his eyes were bloodshot, he raised his hand to stop the formation, jumped lightly from the tall building, and chased after him.
He recalled that after he and He Lou made an appointment on the forum, He Lou claimed that someone would pick him up at the gate of the community, but Lu Yanli just waited at the bottom of the apartment building, saying that he didn't want to bask in the sun. Because of this, he didn't doubt it too much.
However, no matter how smart Lu Yanli was, he would not have expected this step in advance. He was just used to acting like everyone else in front of some key figures. Even when he went shopping for groceries and clothes these days, he entrusted the enthusiastic young couple on the first floor to go out and buy them. Except for a trip to the aquarium, he basically did not step out of the apartment.
It wasn't until today that Lu Yanli decided to take advantage of this and take a gamble.
He won the bet.
No matter how hard Lu Yanli tried to dodge, he was soon caught up by the boy and taken back.
He Lou in the center of the formation gradually returned to normal. I don't know if it was because of the cold or something else, but his pale face gradually took on the color of a living person. He slowly opened his eyes.
Sitting opposite him was Lu Yanli, who was tied up.
He said something silently, and He Lou understood it through his lip movements.
Five minutes left
The cold aura gradually transferred to Lu Yanli. The young man was unwilling to give up and moved faster and faster, his eyes turning red.
Hold on a little longer...
The young man increased his speed again, and the blood threads wrapped around the man's body became more and more numerous and denser.
Two minutes left
"Ah ah—why?!" The more anxious one is, the easier it is to make mistakes. The boy accidentally hooked the wrong position of a blood line. It was obviously just a silk thread, but the breaking of the thread seemed to be a sign of collapse after his decades of hard work came to nothing.
In a rage, he tore the thread apart.
How could he accept this? He had waited for decades, and finally this day had come. How could he accept this
An extremely thin blood line that came out of his body was broken, and Lu Yanli could not help but groan. Then the capillaries all over his body seemed to rupture at the same time, and he turned into a bloody cover.
One minute left
Despite this, he still calmly calculated in his mind for a few seconds.
"Go to hell... She can't come back, all of you go to hell!" The young man had fallen into madness. He didn't even look at Lu Yanli who was lying on the ground holding his breath and pretending to be dead. He picked up his sword and chased after He Lou.
Twenty seconds—
He Lou was thrown to the ground.
Ten seconds—
A sword pierced his waist. He Lou felt his body lighten. He looked down and saw that his body was cut in half and split apart.
Rivers of blood flowed.
The next second, He Lou disappeared.
Time is up.
The whole world seemed to have changed. The originally dead silent city suddenly had more sounds. All the scars on Lu Yanli's body healed quickly, as if he had never been injured. Even the apartment room that was damaged and pitted under their feet was restored to cleanliness in an instant. The talismans, bloodshot threads, posters... all disappeared.
It was late at night. Lu Yanli stood in the empty room of the apartment for a moment, then opened the door and walked towards the elevator.
Two memories were swirling in his mind. One told him that he was just an ordinary resident who came to the building to look for vacant rooms at the request of a friend who was looking for a place to live. The other memory told him that everything was fake.
The elevator door opened, and a pair of twin sisters stood inside, their mouths curved in the same way, and they smiled quietly at Lu Yanli. The elevator lights flickered, as if inviting him in.
Lu Yanli ignored him and took a step back.
The sisters waited for a while and jumped out of the elevator. Their bodies were connected by their long hair, and their clasped hands were stuck together and could not be separated. In this position, they jumped and jumped into 405.
