Chapter 11: Scarlet Apartment (11)

Views:

"Zhang Lili! Zhang Lili! Zhang Lili!"

With one shout after another, the faces of all the apartment residents' faces became darker and darker, and they almost wanted to run away.

This name seems to be a taboo that must never be mentioned, the deepest nightmare in everyone's heart.

What's even more frightening is that with Shen Yu's calls, the apartment really trembled slightly.

Rushing, like the sound of countless hairs scratching the floor, gradually came to the direction of the west building.

At this moment, there was no need for anyone to take the lead. All the apartment residents turned around like rats that had seen a cat, scrambling to escape, not even daring to stay on this floor.

The entire corridor suddenly became empty.

The scarlet blood, like a spider web, squirmed and crawled all over the floor. Covered corridors.

Because of desperation, Shen Yu thought of using Zhang Lili's name to scare away all the besieging apartment residents.

But at the same time, the door of the room, which had been devastated for a long time, finally made a sound of being overwhelmed, and the whole door fell down and shattered completely.

At this moment, Shen Yu and Unknown in the room, and the bloodshot outside the door looked at each other, without any barrier between them.

But the scarlet bloodshot who was extremely cruel just now did not actively choose to attack.

Seeing that there was still room for improvement in the matter, Shen Yu became more and more daring.

He took the initiative to walk outside the door, facing the blood that was surging like a sea of blood.

"Zhang Lili." He said clearly, "The person who called your name just now was me."

The scarlet bloodshot squirmed, gradually approaching him.

Anonymous's eyes were dark, and he held the blade tightly between his fingers, silently blocking Shen Yu's body.

The bloodshot surge was even worse, and a small wet and sticky hand was occasionally exposed in the scarlet gap.

The ugly and thin baby was being wrapped in it, protecting it tightly.

Shen Yu looked at the thin baby who could barely open his eyes, and cautiously asked, "Is this your daughter?"

"She's so cute."

The scarlet blood that kept rolling in the corridor seemed to calm down a little after hearing this sentence.

Seeing this, Shen Yu felt a little relieved, knowing that he had made the right bet this time.

He had also suspected before, was the baby dragged in the coffin one of the monsters? Or even the illegitimate child of Wu Jianyi and Xiaosan

But soon, he dispelled this suspicion.

First of all, the age does not match.

The tragedy of Zhang Lili's disappearance happened seven years ago. According to Wu Jianyi's diary, Xiaosan was already pregnant at that time, so the illegitimate child was at least six years old.

But it was a baby in the coffin, and it was a thin, small, stunted baby.

So, he thought of Zhang Lili's unborn baby girl.

The fetus that was aborted alive.

Because she is her own daughter, Zhang Lili gave her a gorgeous coffin to accommodate her; because she is her own daughter, Zhang Lili made the apartment residents drag their children around the floors every night like slaves.

This little baby girl is Zhang Lili's eyeliner, looking for the three hiding people for her mother.

The murderous Wu Jianyi, Wu Jianyi's lover, Wu Jianyi's illegitimate son...

Everyone is the object of hatred of Zhang Lili and the little baby girl, and everyone is affected by the curse of hatred, transforming from a living person into a monster.

This "pink apartment" that no one can live without is actually the embodiment of the resentment of the dead.

Thinking of this, Shen Yu's eyes suddenly trembled, and he understood a problem that he had been unable to figure out.

Why did the pink apartment only decorate the west building, but not the east building? Why do residents only live in the west building, but the east building is empty

Because the pink apartment has only one building from the beginning to the end!

The dilapidated and gloomy east building represents Zhang Lili's tragic past, and the warm and bright west building represents the present where the apartment has been covered up and whitewashed after Zhang Lili's death.

It's just that because of Zhang Lili's resentment, the apartment was split into two, separated in time, and the present and the past coexist at the same point in time.

The purpose of Zhang Lili's doing this seems to be to remind everyone of the difference in her environment before and after her death. The deeper purpose is to...

Shen Yu couldn't help muttering: "Where did he hide you after you died?"

This question seemed to hit the pain point of the other party, the scarlet blood shot up suddenly, and the overwhelming red seemed to engulf the entire floor.

As for Shen Yu and Unknown, they were like two tiny ants in a boundless sea of blood.

But Shen Yu did not back down, instead he took a step forward, holding up the golden key in his hand: "Wu Jianyi is dead!"

The sea of scarlet blood froze in front of him for a moment.

He continued: "I will find your body, and I will get the remaining two keys!"

Every word seems to be the firmest promise.

All of a sudden, everything was quiet, and the atmosphere was heavy as if time had frozen.

Shen Yu didn't dare to vent his anger, but just stared fixedly at the blood red in front of his eyes.

After a long time, the coagulated blood thread made a sticky sound again, and with the continuous wriggling, the blood color gradually faded.

The corridor was quiet and spotless, as if nothing had happened before.

Shen Yu's slender figure stood upright on the spot, like a standing sculpture.

But soon, this "sculpture" shook violently.

"Anonymous." He said angrily, "Come and give me a hand, my legs are weak..."

It was so scary just now! ! He is in desperate need of sweet mints to soothe his frightened little heart!

Anonymous: "…"

He had no choice but to step forward and grab the other's warm palm.

"Don't be so reckless in the future." He whispered, "With me here, nothing will happen to you."

Shen Yu smiled weakly, took out his black book, his hands were still trembling slightly: "My book is getting hot again, it should be because the plot has been updated."

Anonymous took it and opened it:

[Thirteen brave cleaners step into the pink apartment.]

[Lucky Mints and Anonymous survived the angry siege of the residents.][But you made a promise to the female ghost.]

[The female ghost asks you with a smile, when will you clean up those dirty things?][After all, you are a brave cleaner!]

[If you break your promise, you know what will happen...]

After watching the new plot, Shen Yu couldn't help sighing softly.

"Again escaped disaster!"

A noisy night passed.

On the fourth day, the group met again, only to find that there were only seven of them left.

Cuihua, who was also lucky enough to survive the siege overnight, squinted at the shy bald man: "Where did the newcomer around you go?"

The bald man dodged his eyes, but he said forcefully, "Where else can I go? I'm dead! Dead people are the most common thing in horror novels. What can I do?"

Everyone remembered the tragic wailing from the east building last night, and they couldn't help but fell silent.

Shen Yu, on the other hand, understood everything in an instant, rubbing his brows and said, "You guys mistakenly thought that the baby girl sitting in the coffin was a monster, so you attacked at night and wanted to exchange the corpse for compensation from the administrator."

"But what you don't know is that the baby girl is actually Zhang Lili's daughter. As the master of the pink apartment, how could Zhang Lili tolerate someone hurting her daughter, so she took action."

"Maybe you haven't had time to attack the baby girl, so after abandoning your teammates, you were lucky enough to save your life. But Da Zhuang, who was abandoned by you, should not be so lucky."

"Am I right?" he asked.

Seeing that Shen Yu was very clear about his betrayal of his teammate, the bald man was startled and panicked, with beads of sweat rolling down his face, he could only mumble, "What, what Zhang Lili? What the hell are you talking about?"

He has been unable to find clues, so he has no idea of the truth behind the apartment.

Seeing that except for the three of them, the rest of the people looked confused, Shen Yu and the others looked at each other, and finally decided to explain the reason of the matter clearly.

Enough people have died this time, if we learn more about the truth of the matter, others may have a better chance of surviving.

After knowing the story behind the apartment, as expected, the three newcomers, Xu Jiaojiao and the young couple, were still confused, but the bald man had already started to get excited.

"So, in the remaining two days, we only need to find the female ghost's body to complete this novel?" He asked excitedly.

Shen Yu appropriately poured cold water on him: "It's not that simple, it's clearly written in the book, the apartment requires us to do it—cleaning, cleaning, and work."

The identity setting of the cleaner should have another meaning.

"And there is no 'we', only 'you' and 'us'! Let's go find the remaining clues, and you just stay there and don't give away your little life that you managed to get back!" Cuihua said. Immediately afterwards, another basin of cold water was poured on him.

The bald man's expression froze with excitement, and then he glanced at Xu Jiaojiao and the other novices with his mung bean-like eyes.

The few newcomers suddenly felt a chill, and avoided his sight in disgust.

Seeing his dishonesty eyes, Cuihua immediately reprimanded: "You want to use them as a backing? I'll screw your head off!"

After being scolded, the newcomers avoided him one after another, and the bald man who was isolated for a moment suddenly became embarrassed.

He endured and endured, and finally let out a cold snort from his nose angrily, turned around and decided to look for clues by himself.

"They are all veterans, who is afraid of whom?" Before leaving, the bald man muttered.

Shen Yu and the others ignored him, and after telling the rest of them to stay where they were and never run around, the three of them also got up and left.

This morning, the administrators did not distribute keys and cleaning kits, take back existing keys they had, or even show up.

It seems that after yesterday's siege, the two sides seemed to have completely torn their faces. The hostility that had been deeply buried among the apartment residents was now naked and undisguised.

The three of them went to the top floor of the apartment on the west side. When they passed the corner of the sixth floor, they could even see a family of residents slowly opening a door and peeking out at them.

A middle-aged man's face appeared from behind the door, staring at the people outside motionlessly, his eyes covered with white shades were full of greed, his mouth bared with fangs was cracked open, drooling quietly.

However, Shen Yu and the others were numerous and powerful, and they all seemed not to be trifled with. After considering it secretly, the apartment resident closed the door again with a gloomy face.

This episode did not distract Shen Yu and the others. After the three of them reached the sixth floor, they stared at the ceiling above their heads intently.

"Is it here?" Cuihua asked.

"Yes, it's here." Shen Yu responded with affirmative tone.

The other floors of the pink apartment are generally about three meters high, and there is only the sixth floor. Shen Yu passed by here several times, and he felt extremely depressed and cramped.

The sixth floor is already the top floor, but why is the floor height so short

"I estimate that the height of the floor here is not even 2.7 meters, maybe even only 2.5 meters." He said, raising his arms, as if wanting to touch the ceiling, "What is hidden on it?"

"You mean..." Anonymous raised his eyebrows and looked up: "It is very likely that there is a mezzanine."

The seventh floor, which had been invisible until now, appeared.
