Chapter 29: Caught and Countered

"Wait!" Dong Qi was about to walk in front of the skeleton in front of him when Han Lei suddenly walked up and pulled him back! "Han Lei?" The others were a bit puzzled, not understanding why Han Lei did that. Han Lei sighed and looked at Dong Xie, recalling what Qin Ziyuan had said to him. "Dong Xie is the only person who has ever come into contact with the dying Fang Han, and although I speculate that that person isn't the real Fang Han, I'm not 100% sure. And the problem is that Dong Xie told us things that only he himself knows whether they're true or not. Even if all he said was true, we can't be sure if he's hiding any key information." Han Lei was a straightforward man, unlike Qin Ziyuan who thought so much. When Qin Ziyuan said such things to Han Lei, he hadn't considered this possibility at all. "Why is Dong Xie hiding something from us? He doesn't seem like that kind of person, huh? Mr. Qin, are you thinking too much." Although Han Lei had known Qin Ziyuan for a long time, he had always addressed him as "Mr. Qin", just like how everyone always addressed Yam Tat-wah as "Mr. Chiang" in "The Goonies". The word "Mr." always marks the status of the two people clearly. Qin Ziyuan replied, "The human heart is the most unfathomable. For this kind of thing, it's better to believe what you hear than to believe what you don't. Han Lei, this time, you'll go with Dong Xie to execute the Blood Character and ensure his survival as much as possible. Also, if Fang Han is still alive, we have to consider countermeasures against him at all times; to me, he's a trickier character than the Evil Spirit." Recalling Qin Ziyuan's words, Han Lei took a deep breath and said, "Forget it. It's better for me to take the lead, it's still a bit dangerous. Mr. Qin has taken care of me, so I must ensure your safety." "This ……" Dong Xie was touched for a moment, and he certainly couldn't have imagined at this point that Qin Ziyuan was treating the gentleman with the heart of a small man, harboring strong suspicions about him. "And I see that your legs are trembling. You should be scared to death." Just as everyone was getting a bit argumentative, suddenly an occupant walked out and said, "It's better if I go." Dong Xie froze again, this kind of thing, there are still people who rush to go? What's the situation? The person who walked out was actually Ji Yu! Ji Yu then took out a small bottle from his pocket and said, "This is something I got through my European friends, through the door, the real holy water that has been blessed by the Vatican Pope. When I was in danger in the hospital before, I spilled this holy water, and the result was really effective!" Effective? How could it be! It should be a blind cat meeting a dead rat, and that evil spirit was only supposed to scare him, right? Evil spirits are severely restricted from killing people in the Bloodletter Quest, and if they can make the occupants react by sprinkling holy water, then most likely they didn't intend to kill anyone, right? Ji Yu was a new resident and not one of Qin Ziyuan's people. Han Lei doesn't have a holy mother disease, since someone took the initiative to come out to explore the road, then simply fulfill him. "That line …… you try, I'll see if the so called holy water is really that powerful." Han Lei spread his hands and signaled to go ahead. Ji Yu before entering the apartment is a stockbroker, before working on Wall Street for a long time, there are a lot of foreign contacts. Whether this so-called holy water was useful or not was not to be said, but let's give it a try, shall we? Ji Yu as a newcomer resident, it is obvious …… that he did not really realize the horror of the blood word mission. What he thought in his heart was that since there are evil spirits, then God is also likely to be real. Then, there must also be corresponding means of exorcism. Ji Yu opened the cap of the small bottle, took a deep breath, pulled open his sleeve, revealing the Vacheron Constantin watch he was wearing, and then, he took a step forward. And accordingly, everyone else began to back away. But at this time, Dong Xie felt more and more out of place. "Ji Yu, you're still ……" But just as everyone had just backed up and Ji Yu had yet to walk in front of the skeleton, from the wide-open window, a pale arm steeply reached out and grabbed Ji Yu! Ji Yu screamed in fear and hurriedly sprinkled the entire bottle of holy water on that arm! But obviously, it had no effect, and then his entire body, was pulled into the window! "Escape!" At this moment, the occupants immediately stopped hesitating and darted towards the back with their legs drawn! Dong Qi's face also turned pale. His previous presumption was completely wrong! In other words, Ji Yu was tantamount to dying in place of himself! Reality proved that he had been completely self-righteous and clever before! He thought that the skeleton was so obviously placed there that it must have been meant to scare the occupants so that they wouldn't dare to go over there, thus completely missing out on the clues to the path of life. However, it turned out that the bloodletter mission could also in turn utilize this kind of mentality of theirs to set up dead end traps! Stepping into a dead end trap was regardless of whether or not the occupants had already obtained enough clues to the life path! He had truly experienced the cruelty of the bloodletter mission! You think you can rely on the so-called laws to survive, but the biggest law of the Bloodletter is that there are no laws! Being caught in a thinking trap by the laws, you would instead be harvested by the God of Death! After running for a long time, the few of them stopped. "What …… to do now?" Each of the occupants was in a state of shock. After all, Ji Yu had died right in front of them! This scene was simply too terrifying. And as it turned out, the so-called holy water was completely useless. The fact that humans didn't have any means to fight the evil spirits head on was once again cruelly shown to the occupants. "I …… I, I got it wrong ……" Dong Xie was now leaning against the wall with a pale face, "If it was me who walked over at that time, then the dead is me ……" Almost …… just a little bit …… of his life, accounted for in this! This horror of brushing shoulders with the God of Death left his back in a cold sweat. He even remembered the first time he met with Ji Yu, Ji Yu was living in room 1502, and Dong Xie was only one floor away, and the first time he entered the apartment that day, he came to the 14th floor to look for the building manager Mo Yuan, and met Dong Xie. And now …… he is so dead. Dead because of his own lapse in judgment! "Forget it." Han Lei was already accustomed to seeing the lives and deaths of occupants, and he didn't care much about the death of Ji Yu, a newcomer occupant, anymore, patting Dong Xie's shoulder and saying, "It's often very difficult to avoid this sort of thing in a Bloodletter mission." People who can survive may not be the smartest people, but often …… are the ones who make the least mistakes. The crippling cool thing about bloodletter missions is that there is so little room for error. The cost of a single mistake was one's own life. Following that, Han Lei glanced at the location of the corner alleyway just now and said, ''That can't go any further. The horror of a dead end trap lies in the fact that it will break the limits of the apartment, and as many people as go there will die. Let's, uh, make a detour." Now, it was clear that this was all that could be done. This poor decision-making by Dong Xie made it obvious that the way the residents looked at him had changed a bit, especially Li Chong, not to mention the fact that this mistake had come at the cost of a human life. Although they didn't say it on their lips, in everyone's hearts, they no longer had much trust in Dong Xie. "Wait ……" Right at this moment, Lian Zixin suddenly noticed something. "You guys look! That door, when we passed by just now, was it open?" Everyone looked over, and there, there was indeed a door open! But in this relatively narrow alleyway, there was no door open when they passed by just now, otherwise it would be a bit inconvenient to walk, and they definitely had to turn the door off in order to pass! "Don't go in!" Li Chong was in a state of shock at this time, "If we go in, we're done for!" However, if we were to walk through, we would have to turn the door off. Touching the door would definitely be dangerous. Maybe, another hand was sticking out from inside the door? "But …… Ji Yu just died?" Lian Zixin, on the other hand, asked tentatively, "Can we at least go close that door?" Han Lei only felt desperate at this point, as if no matter how he chose, it would be difficult to avoid the danger. What in the world should we do? Everything seems to be irregular now ah! At this moment …… At the window where Ji Yu was pulled in just now …… Originally, there was only a skeleton here, and at this moment, next to that skeleton, there was another skeleton. That skeleton was also the same half of its body pulled outside the window, its two arms hanging down powerlessly ……
