Chapter 4: Building 3

"Meow-" The black cat's purr instantly interrupted Dong Xie's memories. "That cat ……" Zhao Long couldn't help but pull his collar, "Let's go take a look, maybe it's some kind of life path hint clue." "Well, also good ……" Dong Xie walked to Dong Ning, took off his coat and put it on her, saying, "It's so much colder here than downtown, put it on first." "Be careful." At this time Dong Ning's voice began to lower, "Not only 'they', but the other residents should also beware." Dong Xie nodded, although it had only been two weeks since he had entered the apartment, he could see that the residents had been living in this kind of place for a long time and were not quite normal psychologically, with a handful of people with obvious PTSD and depression, and no one knew if they would engage in some extreme behaviors, so it was indeed necessary to be somewhat cautious. Meanwhile, Dong Ning reached out and grabbed Dong Xie's scarf, retying it: ''When it gets cold after you get off the bus, tie the scarf a little tighter. How nice it should be for you to spend half of your thoughts on taking care of me on yourself, brother." At this time, Zhao Long had already walked over to the black cat and squatted down. The Bloodletter Instruction hadn't officially started yet, and while it couldn't be said to be absolutely safe, the probability of dying right now was very low. In fact the information found in the rummage only found a similar precedent of death for an occupant named Xia Yuan. At this time, Dong Xie also walked up and came closer to observe the cat, but the black cat was the one that seemed to be frightened and immediately fled away! Before long, it ran into a patch of green grass. "It looks like it's quite afraid of living …… people," Dong Xie said, holding his chin, "The cats in the neighborhood over our house are also like this, running away at the sight of people." "This …… looks very unlucky." At this time, another man named Feng Yu came over, scratched his face, and said, "Let s …… quickly find Building 3 in, where is it." And not far away, there is another resident is shivering and taking out a box of Chinese cigarettes from his body to light up with a lighter. One of the major advantages of becoming a resident was that one would have an inexhaustible amount of money, and even higher-end cigarettes and alcohol would be stress-free (this was also one of the new 'features' added to the apartment 8 years ago). The resident, named Gage, was an old smoker who had not been able to smoke in the car before, and apparently suffocated, and immediately started lighting up as soon as he got out of the car. "Let's go quickly." Zhao Long walked to Dong Qi's side, patted his shoulder and said, "Dong Qi, thank you for driving and bringing us here. You've worked hard this …… way." "Uh, it's fine ……" Afterwards, the five of them gathered together and paid attention to their surroundings from time to time. This neighborhood was just too quiet, so quiet that it felt as if the world around them was a video with the mute button pressed. Zhao Long took out his cell phone, dialed a number, and pressed the speaker button. "Um …… Chen …… Mr. Chen?" A rather old voice came from the other end of the phone, "Who is it?" Zhao Long froze, and hurriedly said, "Well, we are the tenants who have made an appointment to come and stay today, that …… this should be Mr. Chen Bokuan's cell phone is correct, right?" "That's right …… I'm his wife …… cough …… cough …… cough …… " On the other end of the cell phone, a low coughing sound came from time to time. "Well ……" Zhao Long looked around and asked, "Excuse me, where do we go toward Building 3?" "After entering the entrance of the neighborhood, follow the green belt on the left ……" Then Zhao Long immediately looked towards the direction indicated inside the cell phone, and that …… was exactly within the grassy greenery that the black cat had run into earlier! Seeing this scene, Dong Xie couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Compared to Zhao Long, who had performed the blood word twice, and Feng Yu and Ge Qi, who had performed the blood word once, he had never seen the real "those things" once. This made his heart start to feel strongly uneasy. After all, in the national concept, black cat has always been an ominous symbol. Not to mention, appearing in such a place. "Cross the green belt and then look to the right ……" "Oh …… see it!" It was only after going around the green belt that I realized that Building 3 was directly behind Building 2, which was previously blocked by Building 2. But the environment in this neighborhood was also really dirty and messy, the ground around the green belt was quite muddy not to mention the messy garbage everywhere around it. "Isn't it time for garbage classification? Why is this garbage still being thrown around? How come the garbage is still littered? Dong Xie, who usually contracted half of the household chores at home with Dong Ning, had spent a long time just to memorize the garbage classification, and as a result, when she saw this filthy scene in front of her, she couldn't help but cover her nose. Zhao Long looked at Dong Xie with a bitter smile, it seems that in that short period of time, Dong Xie still hasn't switched his thinking over, and to the tenants, this kind of thing is not important at all. At the location where the blood words were executed, how light and strange things happened, they wouldn't find it strange. The five people were already getting closer to Building 3. "Going in now? It's still early?" Feng Yu picked up his cell phone and glanced at the time and said, "That …… if we go in now ……" Zhao Long hurriedly said, "Well …… it's pretty close to time, so it's good to go in early and check the situation. The blood word hints could be anywhere." Dong Qi, on the other hand, made a suggestion, "Why don't we take a look at the rest of the neighborhood first, when the time comes we'll have to go inside Building 3 and not be able to come out, maybe there will be clues elsewhere in the neighborhood?" After thinking about it, Zhao Long said, "Let's do it this way, Feng Yu, Ge Qi, the two of you will first poke around here and report back later if there are clues. How about I take their siblings in first ……?" After all, Dong Xie and Dong Ning are new residents, the burden of first entering the blood word to perform the task of "stepping on the spot" is also more reasonable, Dong Xie and Dong Ning can not say anything not to the word. "Then also …… line." Feng Yu nodded, looking at Ge Qi, who had been silent while smoking a cigarette, and said, "Let's go then." Eyeing the back of the duo, Dong Qi looked at Zhao Long and said, "Then …… let …… us go in first?" "Well, let's go. We …… Oh yeah, I almost forgot, Mo Yuan instructed me to make sure to give him a call when we arrive." Then he quickly dialed Mo Yuan's number. "Hello, Mo Yuan?" Zhao Long sighed in relief after making sure that his cell phone could connect with Mo Yuan, "We're here." Mo Yuan's voice came from the other end of the cell phone, "You take care of those two newcomer residents more or less …… what you should instruct. Maybe they can turn out to be seedlings with potential." Once a blood word, as long as one of the occupants explored the birth path, it would be the same as all of them would be saved. Therefore, between the occupants, most of them were more dependent on each other. "I, I know …… Mo Yuan." After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Zhao Long suddenly lowered his voice and said to Mo Yuan, "Mo Yuan …… I've already bought myself a tombstone inside the cemetery, right next to my parents' tombstone. After I die, if I can t find a body, bury some of my clothes there. Is it …… possible?"
