Chapter 2: Survival Mission

The elevator reached the 14th floor. When the elevator doors opened, they immediately stepped out. Then, they headed towards a certain door in front of them. It didn't take long for them to reach the door. At this time, the lights in the room clearly reflected their shadows on the door. And at this time, Dong Xie was stunned to realize that on the wall, his shadow's right hand was extended! On the shadow of his right hand, there appeared to be a set of keys! However, his right hand did not move at all! Then it was seen that the shadow put the keys inside his pants pocket! Then, Dong Evil continued to put his hand into his pants pocket …… surprisingly, he really took out the key! Dong Xie inserted the key inside the door lock, and with a turn, opened the door! Walking in was an unusually spacious hall. And at the same time, both Dong Xie and Dong Ning suddenly felt a sharp pain in their chests. The area of the heart was unusually uncomfortable with pain, as if it was being burned by fire! Immediately after …… On the snow-white walls of the living room, fresh blood automatically seeped out! After that, one after another text made up of fresh blood began to emerge! "From today, you are the residents of this apartment, room 1404. After becoming a resident of this apartment, you must abide by the following rules. First, you cannot leave this apartment for more than 48 consecutive hours, and second, every once in a while, such a blood letter instruction will appear on the wall, and residents must strictly implement the content of the blood letter instruction that appears in the room they live in, and must not violate it in the slightest (you are permitted to leave the apartment for more than 48 hours during the implementation of the blood letter). Upon violating the above two rules, your shadows will cause you to die, and cannot be broken by any means whatsoever. After you have successfully executed the Bloodletter instructions ten times, you will have complete freedom to leave the apartment, as well as the fulfillment of one wish. The following is your first Blood Word Instruction: on the night of December 1, 2019, from 00:00-5:00, stay inside Building 3 of the Black Butterfly Community on the Red and Gold Highway in S City, and you must not leave Building 3 during that time, and you may leave only after your mission is completed." "P.S.: The process of completing the blood letter instructions has a certain chance of exploring the apartment's hidden rules, so residents can try to explore the blood letter execution area on their own." …… When Dong Xie realized that he could move, he was still standing motionless. "Brother!" Dong Ning grabbed Dong Xie's hand and said, "I'm afraid this is true! The height of this apartment, we shouldn't have failed to notice it before! This place, I'm afraid it's really ……" Dong Xie took a deep breath, although he was a writer of suspenseful thrillers, he had never dreamed that he would actually encounter such a thing! The current Dong Xie truly understood Ye Gonghong's mood. "I …… I …… have to organize my thoughts, the amount of information in this blood word is also too big ……" Dong Xie wiped his forehead for a moment, beads of sweat had already seeped out from it, "So …… so that means that …… two weeks from now, we're going to carry out the mission that this passage of blood words has given us instructions for . …? Go check into some building in a neighborhood …… for a few hours? And then it's over? It's that …… simple?" "It can't be that simple." Dong Ning was also forcibly calming down at this time, "Listen to me, if this blood writing is true, the occupants of this place, won't just be us, there must be others. Let's go look for them ……" Ever since he was a child, Dong Xie could not deny that his sister's IQ was far higher than his own. He is the undoubted school slag, while his sister is the undisputed school bully. Therefore, Dong Xie's close friends around him even laughed at them …… However, Dong Ning filled out a volunteer for a local university when he clearly had the opportunity to go to the capital to study at a prestigious university. "You're right." Dong Xie is actually not stupid, these things can be thought of when you think about it, only at this time he was completely confused. But now looking at Dong Ning in front of him, he thought …… that he was the older brother, and at this juncture, he must protect his sister. "Understood …… us, go look for others." After walking out of the room, Dong Qi was very vigilant in observing the surroundings and blocked in front of his sister. Right now, he could be said to be highly alarmed. The shadow of himself moving, as well as his uncontrollable body, and the walls that were automatically oozing blood. It was all too surreal, rather more like the plot of a horror movie. He walked along, taking his sister's hand behind him, while constantly staring at the shadows at his feet, just in case they would change again. Then, he walked to the next door, which had the number "1403" engraved on it. He reached out his hand and rang the doorbell next to the door. "Dingdong–" The doorbell rang. There was nothing out of the ordinary. At the same time, Dong Xie pulled Dong Ning's hand and continued to back away, still keeping his body in front of her. "If there's anything out of the ordinary, flee immediately, got it?" "Uhm …… I know, brother." The current Dong Xie really hoped that a group of people would come out and say that this was all a prank, or a reality show, how good it would be. But now it seems that everything will not be so simple. Immediately after …… The door opened. "You guys?" The one who opened the door was a tall man with a beard, and when he saw Dong Xie and Dong Ning, he first stared blankly before saying, "Are you the new residents?" Hearing the words new residents, Dong Xie immediately said, "What the hell is going on here?" "Did you see the words in blood appearing on the walls? Every resident who enters the apartment will see that writing." Dong Ning then said at this moment, "Please tell us …… exactly what is going on in this apartment?" The bearded man looked at the brother and sister duo in front of him, sighed, and said, "You guys come in and talk. It's …… quite complicated if you say so." Dong Xie, on the other hand, was a bit wary, shook his head, and said, "Just say it at the door. I don't mind standing." Although the bearded man was tall, Dong Xie was just as tall, and the two were almost flush. Dong Xie was ready to move at any time, and within this secretive apartment, he didn't trust anyone. Only on fighting, he really does not have much confidence …… Since childhood, sports has always been his weak point. If he had known, he would have agreed to forget about it when the coach in the gym pushed boxing lessons on him last year. "Standing and talking is also quite tiring, you come …… inside our room to say it." Dong Ning is quickly into the state, she knows her brother's concerns, but the current situation of the apartment is not clear, she does not want to offend any of the people inside, after all, she does not understand everyone's temperament. Going to the house she and her brother had been 'assigned' would be a good way to take the initiative accordingly. "That's fine." The bearded man didn't seem to have that much on his mind, "By the way …… your blood letters shouldn't have disappeared yet, the blood letters need to be read by all of the residents who were issued the assignment before they will fade away. You'd better take your cell phones and take a picture right away so that you don't forget or misremember the details of the mission. This is a matter of life and death for you." "I'll take the picture." Dong Ning took out her cell phone, so she walked in front of the wall and started taking pictures. "My name is Mo Yuan, why don't you guys first add the chat group of our apartment's residents, then download the group file inside. Inside the group file are the text and image recordings left by past residents." Mo Yuan took out his cell phone and tapped out a QR code, "Scan this QR code with WeChat to join the group." "Alright ……," Dong Xie immediately took out his cell phone and scanned the QR code. After a newcomer joined the group, the WeChat group immediately exploded. "A new resident has joined the group?" "Which floor is it living on? Send the photo of the blood letter instructions to the group to see." "Another new person has come in! I would like to express my high sympathy to you in advance." Inside the group …… there were a combined total of 52 people. And Dong Xie immediately invited Dong Ning into the WeChat group as well, while looking at Mo Yuan and asking, "The blood word instruction …… we shouldn't just be going to check in as simple as that, right? What do we need to do?" "Simply put …… survival." "Survival? Wait, it won't be like Infinite Survival where only one person can eat chicken at the end?" "Well …… this you don't have to worry about." Mo Yuan went on to explain, "The thing we have to do in all the execution locations instructed by the blood words is to …… fight to the death to survive under the pursuit of the evil spirits. As long as we find the path of life instructed by the blood words, we will be able to survive. Those records left behind by past residents, there are quite a few of them are individual case analysis of the blood words they experienced, as well as how to explore the path of life methods, etc. …… There are also residents who have successfully left the apartment." By this time, photo screenshots of this blood word instruction had already appeared inside the group. "Zhao Long? You're bringing new people to execute the Blood Word this time ah." "How many people are executing the bloodletter this time? All go to Mo Yuan's house to gather, right?" "I'm still outside, I'll be right back!" "Why don't the new residents pop their pictures first?" Dong Ning walked up to Mo Yuan at this time and asked, "The term 'evil spirit'…… that you just said, I can simply understand it as …… " "You don't have to make any special interpretations. This vocabulary, is what it usually stands for …… that means!"
