Chapter 1: The Apartment

"Go straight east for 200m ……GD map will keep navigating for you ……" Sister Chi-Ling's sweet voice came out from the cell phone navigation, but it could not alleviate Dong Qi's nervousness in the slightest. He gripped the steering wheel as he traveled down a rather muddy road in front of him, with fewer and fewer buildings around him and more and more trees. Dong Ning, who was sitting beside Dong Xie, was staring out the window with the same nervousness. "The time hasn't started yet, we still …… won't meet …… those unclean things, right?" "Well ……" the back seat of the car sat three people, one of them is a still relatively tall youth: "The old residents of the apartment all say that …… But it's not absolutely ……" "Not absolutely …… right?" "They have found some notebooks and meeting minutes left behind by previous residents, for example, there used to be a resident named Xia Yuan ……" Dong Xie at this time only felt that his mind was a little dizzy, and the hands holding the steering wheel began to tremble. "You should have said it earlier!" Dong Ning, on the other hand, was dissatisfied, "This kind of thing ……" "Forget it …… It's useless to talk about this now!" Dong Xie didn't want to verbally offend the old occupant, even though only one of the three behind him had carried out the bloodletter instructions twice. He now, had to travel to a highly dangerous area to perform a mandatory task within a specified time limit. If the mission could not be completed, then what awaited him was …… death! "3km …… from destination," the sound of his cell phone's navigation made Dong Xie feel his heart tremble again! It didn't take long …… Dong Xie finally reached his destination. The time now was ten o'clock at night. It was a rather remote neighborhood, and there was no gatehouse or security guard at the entrance to the neighborhood. After driving into the neighborhood, Dong Xie looked around and couldn't even find a decent parking space. "Meow ……" Right at this moment, in front of the car, a black cat scurried out and screamed at the car. This scene saw beads of sweat break out on Dong Xie's forehead. He is by no means a timid person, it's just that the picture …… under his eyes is too bizarre. "Brother, don't be afraid, a cat is just a cat." Dong Ning patted his brother Dong Qi's shoulder and said, "No …… it's okay." Dong Qi slowly backed up the car, parked the car, undid the seat belt, and said to Dong Ning, "Later …… you must follow me, never leave my side." "Well …… know." After getting out of the car, Dong Xie felt a chill. Afterward, the five people got off one after another. There were only a few tattered trees around, swaying with the cold wind. And Dong Xie took his cell phone, turned on his flashlight, and said: "Then …… Mr. Zhao, you walk at the front." The Mr. Zhao he was talking about was the tall youth from before. "Okay, well said." Mr. Zhao's full name was Zhao Long, but unfortunately, the word "Zi" was missing in the middle, and he was not bold. His feet were soft as he stepped off the bus, and it took him half a day before he could barely stand on his body. From his movements, Dong Xie was able to see side by side how terrifying the mission they were about to carry out was. "Listen up ……," Zhao Long looked around, looking back roughly every five seconds or so, "This time, it's still just a 1-2 times difficulty bloodletter mission, first of all, we must act strictly according to the bloodletter instructions to carry out the mission. We must be careful in our observations, every mission, there will definitely exist a life path, as long as we find out the life path, we can survive!" "Yes …… I know ……" At this time a biting wind blew into Dong Xie's face, causing him to experience intense heart palpitations …… It all started two weeks ago. Dong Xie is a network novelist, specializing in writing all spiritual novels, he loves Cthulhu style horror works and immensely admires Lovecraft. Because of this, he usually liked to go to some secluded places to find inspiration. So on that day, he brought his sister Dong Ning along with him to the outskirts of K City to explore some of the weird and mysterious rumors that had been rumored on the internet. However, recalling it now, Dong Xie could be said to regret it to the extreme. If there was a regret pill in this world, he would absolutely go out of his way to obtain it. And …… he also brought Dong Ning …… his sister with him. As a result, they stepped together into that place of all the evils. It was a very bright afternoon. It was totally unexpected that something horrible would happen. Dong Xie was ready with a digital camera, while Dong Ning brought along a selfie stick ready to be able to broadcast live. "This area has always had some reports of sightings of 'unclean things' on the internet, and there are even some photos uploaded." Dong Qi picked up his cell phone and looked at some of the photos uploaded by the TY forum above, which corresponded to the street in front of him, "This is it!" "You're not even afraid of it?" Her younger sister Dong Ning, on the other hand, was holding a lollipop and said, "When you were in college, you were studying what was clearly an economics major, but you were trying to form an Anomalous Phenomena Exploration Club, and as a result, you were even publicly criticized by your teacher." Dong Ning was Dong Xie's younger sister by five years, but although they were said to be sisters, they were not related by blood. Dong Xie's mother had died when he was very young, and then his father had quickly renewed his marriage, and his stepmother had given birth to Dong Ning. Dong Xie and Dong Ning, the half-siblings, had grown up together since childhood, and their relationship had not been affected in the least by the fact that they were only half-blood, and they were even closer than siblings of the same parents. When Dong Xie was sixteen, on the first day of summer vacation after the midterm exams, the family went on a trip together. At that time, my father bought a new car and took them on a driving trip. However, while traveling through a certain intersection, they were hit head-on by a vehicle driven by a drunk driver, and their father and stepmother, who were sitting in the front row, were the most seriously injured, and both passed away after being taken to the hospital where they could not be rescued. Although Dong Xie and Dong Ning survived, when Dong Ning was given a blood transfusion, it was discovered that her blood type belonged to the B group. Dong Xie's father had type A blood and her stepmother had type O blood. And an A and O blood type could never give birth to a child with a B blood type, only an A and O blood type! At that time, the relatives who knew the result were very surprised, especially those on the stepmother's side. Subsequently, the aunt took the father, the stepmother and the sister's toothbrush to do a paternity test, and the result was that the father and the sister have no blood, but the stepmother is indeed the sister's biological mother, so it is not that the hospital carries the wrong child, but that the stepmother has a red apricot wall. Originally, the relatives decided to hide the child for the time being, but Dong Xie still heard the aunt and aunt (stepmother's sister) talking. For all this, the aunt also felt justified and kept begging the aunt not to tell Dong Ning about the incident, saying that she would take the boy back to raise him. But in the end, Dong Xie suggested that Dong Ning was his sister no matter what, and that no one would be allowed to separate him from his sister no matter what happened. If the aunt was not willing to raise his sister, then he would earn his own money to live with her. …… This matter was concealed for more than ten years. Now, Dong Xie and Dong Ning siblings live alone together, all the relatives are silent about this matter. It is still a mystery as to who his sister's biological father is. And for Dong Xie, bitter things gradually happened. "You, don't wear so …… save fabric." Dong Xie had some slight words for his sister, "You also know that you that …… body is very good, so …… it is very disadvantageous." At this time, Dong Xie had already walked through several blocks with Dong Ning and came to the entrance of a neighborhood. "What do you mean by saving fabric, as you said, since the figure is good, you should show it well." The lollipop Dong Ning was sucking on was almost finished, so she took out another one. Dong Xie had always been surprised that her sister had such a love of sweets, yet her figure never gained weight. Frankly speaking, up until the age of eighteen, they had often slept in the same bed. However, as his sister entered puberty, Dong Xie gradually came to realize one thing, that they were a pair of brother and sister with no blood relationship, and as time passed and they spent time together, he felt that the way he looked at his sister was no longer a brother looking at his sister. This made him internally torn, and he had always been determined to take the secret of his sister's birth to the grave forever. "Go take a look here." Dong Xie took his cell phone and compared it to the photo on the forum, looking at the background …… "Well, this is the right place." The brother and sister duo, thus, walked into this small area. As the duo traveled within the small district, a weird thing happened. Under the bright daylight …… they suddenly realized that their bodies could not move! This matter made them both feel fear like never before. Afterward, their bodies unexpectedly began to move automatically! As their bodies moved automatically, they walked into an alley. They were unable to even speak during this process. At this moment, Dong Xie's first reaction was, could all those secretive rumors on the internet, as well as the photos of strange spirits be true? Are there really unclean things in this area? Finally, through the alley, they were brought to the front of an apartment. What appeared in front of them was a high-rise apartment building that appeared to be nearly thirty floors, and judging from the type of housing, it didn't look at all like it belonged to the high-grade commercial housing that appeared in this kind of remote urban and rural area. And at the entrance to the apartment was a revolving door, through which the duo arrived within an opulent hall. This made both Dong Xie and Dong Ning feel extremely incredulous. They didn't know what awaited them, what power was controlling their bodies? The opulence of the lobby in front of them made Dong Xie's eyes widen even more, it looked as if this place was simply like a hotel-style apartment. Passing through the spacious lobby, they walked to the elevator. There were a total of three elevators in this apartment, and their hands, uncontrolled, pressed the button of one of them. The elevator door opened immediately. Subsequently, their siblings also walked in uncontrollably and automatically. Immediately after …… Dong Qi reached out and pressed the button …… leading to the 14th floor. From the elevator buttons, the apartment had a total of 29 floors. The inside of the elevator was also decorated magnificently, and the mirror behind it clearly reflected the brother and sister duo. The elevator began to slowly rise …… and the hearts of the brother and sister duo hung in the air!
