Chapter 23: The Beginning of the Bloodletter
Mo Yuan looked at the map displayed on his cell phone. Heavy rain continued to sprinkle down, the wipers on the car wiping the glass could not catch up with the speed of the rain pouring down. "Mr. Driver, drive another kilometer towards the east." Among the residents, the only one who could speak Japanese, Akatsuhiko, explained the specific situation to the driver. At this moment, no matter which one of the occupants, their faces were filled with an expression like an enemy. Qin Ziyuan made another call to the apartment side at this moment. "Hey, how are …… Sun Jiamin's movements now?" "Mr. Qin, she's still in her room right now." "Monitor her movements well." The thing that Qin Ziyuan was most worried about right now was …… just how many things Mother Ziyi had ever said to Sun Jiamin. Sun Jiamin's mouth revealed pitifully little information about the apartment, but he didn't dare to believe it all. Although Sun Jiamin's acting performance in the TV series was nothing short of a car crash, but after all, she had also been an actress for many years, and no one could guarantee that her acting skills hadn't improved. And this was the same with Mo Yuan's thoughts. He never used preconceived notions to speculate on anyone and anything. When Sun Jiamin wasn't a resident in the past, she definitely wouldn't believe in the apartment. But now that she had become a resident, so if Mother Ziyi had ever told her about the times when things happened in the apartment, the consequences would be unimaginable. For Mo Yuan, during the time when he had just joined the apartment, he had truly thought that he could resurrect Shadow Moon. But it was at that time that he realized that the real hell did not come from evil spirits. The real hell …… comes from others. The sound of their exchanges was relatively low, and Situ Wenxuan was even more sensible, directly taking the headphones and stuffing them in his ears, closing his eyes, stating that you guys can chat all you want I don't want to know anything. "Will you guys think too much." Nie Han, on the other hand, clarified at the side, "Already had so many people staring at the apartment, Sun Jiamin is only one person, what can she do? Moreover, Mother Ziyi didn't even have the chance to tell her ……" "The human heart is hard to gauge." However, just at this time, Mo Yuan was the one who uttered these words, "I've seen the most bottomless side of human nature." "So ……," Nie Han understood what Mo Yuan meant, "It's possible for her to get a portion of the residents to turn against her and help her? How is that possible, offending us for a female star?" "'We' aren't as valuable as you think, Nie Han." However, Qin Ziyuan was analyzing, "Although it's not explicitly stated, many of the residents know in their hearts that there's no way for them to leave this apartment alive, and that surviving the Blood Character once is just a way to live for a little while longer. To the residents, Mo Yuan may not be able to live for long now either. However, Mother Ziyi she had executed the blood word instructions a total of seven times, including the one with Fang Han. This was by far the pinnacle of the apartment's occupants. If, Sun Jiamin she knows this and utilizes it to make the residents fall ……" "That," Ming Chenyan asked from the sidelines in disbelief, "In that case, Nie Han you also came out together to execute the bloodletter ……" "I came out together as well, and we're all likely to die in this Blood Word instruction. So if Sun Jiamin wants to convince the residents to help her do it, now is the best time, bar none." If it was Qin Ziyuan, it would be entirely preferable to kill her by mistake. The reason why he didn't do that was not because of Mo Yuan's opposition, but because even if the situation turned out to be the worst, the person who would be in the most trouble would not be him. "And, don't all of you forget the most most important thing." At this time, Mo Yuan voiced the deepest fear within the apartment's triumvirate. "Although it's minuscule in terms of probability, if Sun Jiamin can complete the Blood Character Instruction ten times, she'll have a chance to make a wish. You guys should know what that means?" Nie Han thought for a moment, then said, "Perhaps, there's no need to think about it that much. She most likely won't survive the first Blood Word." "No matter what, one cannot take a chance." Qin Ziyuan, on the other hand, was very cautious as a person, "Mo Yuan is right. To us, Mother Ziyi is a more terrifying existence than an evil spirit. Back then, if it wasn't for Fang Han's miraculous calculations, we would have been just as likely to die at the hands of this woman even if we could have completed the five Blood Characters as we are now. If …… I mean if …… what we are most worried about happens, the first person to die will be Fang Han, and the second and third, will be you." "Yes. Qin Ziyuan, you are not going to die, but how much better do you think your end will be?" Nie Han's voice was slightly sarcastic, "Don't say it like it's not a matter of concern. Anyone who threatens Fang Han, I won't let go." During this process, Qin Ziyuan had been paying attention to Fong Wenxuan, who had been wearing headphones the entire time and hadn't even opened his eyes. Originally, Fong Wenxuan, the occupant who had completed his first Bloodletter, had no reason to come here to seek death. The reason why he came here was also very simple, he thought that in order to survive for a long time, he and the Triumvirate all had the experience of experiencing life and death together, and only then would he have the opportunity to establish comradeship. Of course, the risks were also naturally high, but it was clear to Fong Wenxuan that he was able to achieve this position, and that riches and wealth were at stake. If he followed conventional means, it was difficult to survive ten bloodletters. In the worst case scenario, he could also learn from his experience by acting together with the three giants and observing their means of executing the blood words, their strategies. Moreover, all three of them could instantly return to the apartment when the blood words ended, so as long as one of them didn't die, he would merely need to survive until the blood words ended to have hope of surviving. "Ahead is the Sea of Lost Trees." A forest of trees surfaced in front of them. Previously, they had already asked some passersby around here. And as soon as the passersby heard about the Sea of Lost Trees, they advised them not to go there, saying that the woods were quite evil, and that in the past, there had been people who had gotten lost in it and thus evaporated. And it was said that that area was also a suicide mecca back then in the early post-war period in Japan. It looked like it wasn't very safe just to traverse the woods, even though it wasn't even an area where the word blood demanded to stay. According to the last piece of information that Dong Xie had passed on before his cell phone signal was disconnected, this sea of trees could lead to a state of disorientation if one wasn't careful. Therefore, Mo Yuan had already taken the first step to contact the people of the Beishan family. The only way to bring them in successfully was to rely on their people. At this moment, looking at the gloomy sea of trees in front of them, they were all worried. According to the agreement, the people from the North Mountain Family should be in front to greet them by now. But why was there no one there now? But right at this moment, Mo Yuan suddenly noticed that deep within the sea of trees, a firelight gradually emerged. That fire light was moving from far away and gradually came …… It was a woman with an umbrella, holding a lantern and wearing a kimono!
