Chapter 40: The Return

"Now I finally understand why there are potted plants all over the building. I couldn't see it clearly before because it was too dark, but after the elevator doors opened just now and I took a closer look and observed, there were still quite a few of them. Could it be that they're just used to get people stoned? If we can survive a few more people coming down, we should be able to successfully pull back the intoxicated occupants." After placing his unconscious sister on the passenger seat, Dong Xie also fastened her seatbelt to prevent her from waking up in the middle of the day and entering the state of being neutralized again, and at the same time locked the car door as a precautionary measure. Subsequently, started the car. In the process of driving, Dong Xie also looked back at the neighborhood behind him from time to time, fearing that the evil spirits would rush out from inside. Now that he had no way to enter the elevator, he couldn't fend off the Evil Spirit as it caught up with him. However, he surmised that the Evil Spirit should not be able to leave Building 3, or else he would not be able to avoid the Evil Spirit's pursuit on his way back to the apartment unless he instantly moved back out of the apartment at the end of the Bloodletter. "Hopefully …… hopefully don't catch up ……" Dong Xie drove while gazing into the rearview mirror. It was at this time that he suddenly heard, from within his pocket, the sound of his cell phone's on music! The cell phone was working! Great! Quickly removing his cell phone, Dong Xie revealed a look of relief. This likely meant that it was out of danger! He immediately used his Bluetooth headset and called Mo Yuan inside the apartment. After all, he was still unsure if he was out of danger, and at this time, it was better to ask someone with experience. Mo Yuan was still waiting inside the apartment at this time. 5am had already passed, and the end of the Blood Word mission time meant that the residents could already return to the apartment. However, would anyone be able to return? Just now, he tried to call Zhao Long again, but the phone still prompted off. But just at this moment, someone suddenly called on the cell phone! On the caller ID, it was actually Dong Qi! The older brother of that pair of siblings! "It's actually him?" Mo Yuan was also quite surprised to see this name, he didn't have much hope for Dong Xie's survival, this number would most likely be deleted after today, but he didn't expect the caller to actually be him! He immediately picked up the cell phone. "Hello!" "Mr. Mo, hello, this is Dong Evil ……" "I know it's you! Where are Zhao Long and the others?" "Right now …… only my sister and I survived, we are on our way back to K City!" When he heard these words, Mo Yuan sighed heavily. He wasn't like Qin Ziyuan who had long looked down on the life and death of the residents, and for every death, he would still be more upset even though he was mentally prepared. But no matter what, there was finally someone who survived, and there could be one more case record of surviving the Bloodletter. "You first briefly describe to me what happened during the Bloodletter." Mo Yuan quickly pressed the record button on his cell phone, after all, Dong Xie hadn't returned to the apartment yet, maybe he was intercepted by an evil spirit on his way back, there were plenty of precedents for that as well. "Well, let me describe it briefly, since I'm still driving." "Okay, speak as soon as you can. You also need to be careful now, you can't be considered safe until you return inside the apartment." Dong Xie nodded, and at this moment, the car began to weave through a secluded side road, and there were no other vehicles around, so he stepped on the gas pedal and tried to raise the speed of the car as much as possible, and from time to time, he would also look at Ah Ning beside him, fearing that in the blink of an eye, she would suddenly disappear. Back then, because of his parents' car accident, Dong Xie had been strictly abiding by the traffic rules after he bought the car, driving carefully and cautiously controlling his speed, but now he was also desperate, almost, close to pressing the gas pedal to the bottom. As long as he was able to return inside the apartment, his and Ning's first Bloodletter mission, was considered a success! Driving at high speed while conducting a narrative was actually quite dangerous. But Dong Xie needed Mo Yuan to help him analyze the current situation, to determine if the evil spirits would still appear and if there were other hidden ways to survive. "Thanks for thinking that the elevator is the way to life." Mo Yuan had a mediocre impression of Dong Xie, he was not very optimistic that he could survive, but he did not expect him to be the one who could think of a life path out of blood. Dong Xie let out a bitter smile, one thing that was very different between him and Ning was that he had an exceptionally large brain, and tended to always deconstruct problems from some very unique ideas. Because of this, he was able to create many popular horror novels. For example, when he was conceptualizing his first horror novel in college, he took the stairs to the wrong floor, and then came up with a setting of "taking the stairs to enter another interdimensional building"; once because he was too tired to see some dizziness, he came up with a setting of "hallucinating evil spirits, and then the evil spirits kept approaching him in the hallucination". I had a story about "hallucinating an evil spirit, and then the evil spirit kept coming closer and closer to me in the hallucination. Because of this, when riding in the elevator, his brain instantly produced that association. It is worth mentioning that his first novel was about a brother and sister who encountered a variety of evil spirits curse phenomenon, the brother and sister can be able to premonition of the cursed event of the cursed person and the date of their death. "Luck, just luck." Listening to Dong Qi's self-effacing words, Mo Yuan, however, said, "I never believe in the so-called luck, without the ability to have luck alone, you won't be able to survive in the word of blood. This is not a workplace, there's no need for you to be modest." For Dong Xie, the dark horse that stood out from the crowd, made Mo Yuan instantly start to look favorably on him, and he also happened to live right next door to him. This person, was worth cultivating. "Based on my experience, you're most likely already safe from this Bloodletter mission, but don't be careless. Contact me again when you enter the downtown area of K City, okay, I'll leave you to drive for now." "Good ……" After traveling onto the highway, Dong Qi turned on the GD map navigation, and Sister Chiling's sweet voice once again entered his ears, allowing him to truly feel the breath of life. "Uhm ……" Right at this moment, Dong Ning, who was beside him, suddenly gradually opened her eyes! This immediately startled Dong Xie, he didn't know if the current Aning was going to be possessed again, and hurriedly asked, "Aning! Ah Ning! Quickly answer me back! Do you recognize me?" "Brother …… where are we ah? This …… can't be heaven, right?" "Ah Ning! Fortunately, you're awake ……" Dong Xie was greatly relieved, it was good that she could recognize herself! In fact, just now, Dong Qi is still a little afraid of her opening the first sentence to come to a "who are you", the emergence of this idol theater bad bridge will be thunderous. "Huh? This is in the car? Brother, we're out?" "Go straight ahead 200m and then turn left ……" Hearing the navigational voice of Sister Chi-Ling, Ah Ning finally came to her senses completely, "Are we going back to the apartment? What time is it now?" "It's already past 5am! Don't worry, Ah Ning, we should be able to go back, now ……" However, there were still some mysteries left unsolved. The foul-smelling odor in the study, the cracks on the bookshelf, and …… What was the reason for the evil spirit's hand suddenly retracting back from the doorway at that time? Did he unintentionally trigger the second life path of this bloodletter?
