Chapter 22: Dong Ning’s Scheme

"Failed ……" Dong Xie rubbed his eyes and did something similar to eye exercises. Ever since he had his vision correction surgery two years ago, he had been paying more attention to not overusing his eyes. After watching the video for so long, he was also feeling highly stressed, yet the second target was still dead. He then opened his eyes, noting the movements of the other residents, especially Chang Yong. It seemed that it was necessary to leave the apartment. If it continued to develop, both Qin Ziyuan and Mo Yuan would die, and the apartment would surely be in chaos. The residents who had lost hope of survival would give up on themselves and take over the apartment, and then the same plot as the novel Lord of the Flies written by William Golding was bound to happen. "Don't leave now yet." Dong Ning whispered, "Now is not the best time." "But ……" "Brother …… listen, if Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan die, this apartment will become a state where force decides everything. We have weapons and so do the others. Right now, although most of the residents honor Mo Yuan as the building manager, it's all for profit, and when he dies, no one will uphold his philosophy. We're more likely to be hated as Dark Horse tenants." "I know, Ning ……" "People are bullies. Han Lei knows how to do Muay Thai, and Chang Yong was one of the executioners who executed that pair last time, so no one dares to take them head on. That guy Chang Yong also has mischievous intentions, in this situation ……" Saying this, Dong Ning suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!" She then quickly stood up from the sofa and untied her sleeves! Everyone else looked at her in disbelief, and then they saw Dong Ning take her cell phone and shine it at her arm, screaming, "This, what is this? Just now, I felt someone grab me!" "What did you say? Ah Ning?" Dong Qi looked over and realized that on Dong Ning's arm, there was a five-finger bloody handprint! The others also came over, and then Dong Ning suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Wait! I remember that ahead of me is the place where Qin Ziyuan had the two occupants executed that day!" "What?" "It's impossible, there can't be evil spirits in the apartment!" "Not necessarily!" Dong Ning, however, said, "There was a special blood letter 8 years ago, where the apartment created an alien space called the 'Warehouse', which lured the residents to release an evil spirit into the apartment! 8 years ago, the apartment's building manager, Li Yin, hypothesized that the alien space was what the evil spirit would suck its back into after entering the apartment! That black hole! The two dead tenants were sucked in, so could the black hole have become free for evil spirits to enter and exit since then?" The "Warehouse Evil Spirit" bloodstain from 8 years ago is an extremely classic bloodstain that was written in the files left by the past residents. It resulted in the largest number of deaths of apartment residents, and was the only instance of an evil spirit intruding into an apartment in all the archives. It was later widely believed that the Bloodletter existed for the purpose of total liquidation before the apartment's fifty-year cycle of demonic bloodletting. However, Dong Ning's statement was not to say that it was not possible! The moment these words came out, everyone panicked. "It's not? Run away!" "Han Lei, Chang Yong! It's all you guys, why are you killing people inside the apartment? We don't want to die with you!" Dong Ning was overjoyed. She had successfully pushed Han Lei and the others against all the apartment residents, and there was nothing unnatural about her and her brother escaping the apartment at this time. This bloody handprint was pre-smeared on it with her chicken blood-stained hand. It's not surprising that one of the tenants of the two dead addicts was female, even if the hand looks smaller. The reason she didn't even tell Dong Evil was because she really didn't have confidence in her brother's acting skills. And his true reaction would dispel the suspicions of the others. As soon as Dong Xie pulled Dong Ning along, he rushed to the apartment door and pushed the revolving door to rush out. The other residents also scrambled to escape. For a while, the situation became incredibly chaotic. On Mo Yuan's side, they were also stunned. "An evil spirit has appeared in the apartment?" Mo Yuan looked at the cell phone in front of him and could hardly believe it, "Impossible! The warehouse evil spirit back then was a special case, it doesn't make sense that this would happen according to the rules." "Hmm." Qin Ziyuan also felt that there was something strange going on, "Something's not right, if it's an evil spirit, shouldn't it prioritize dealing with Han Lei and the others? For example, Chang Yong and Lin Qu should have been the first to die, they executed the addicted man and woman separately." Qin Ziyuan had already relit a cigarette and regained his composure again. And Mo Yuan couldn't help but admire Qin Ziyuan's calmness and composure, he acted even more like someone who didn't mind life and death too much anymore than he did. One must know that if it was really those two addicts who had turned into evil spirits to take revenge, he, Qin Ziyuan, would definitely be the most dangerous one when he returned to the apartment. "Then what do you mean ……" "Dong Ning …… is still too young. She should have guided the others to this conclusion, and as a result, she said it all herself, the orientation is too obvious. She intends to trigger panic and chaos inside the apartment to stop those residents under my leadership from starting an armed riot once we die after this bloodletter mission. Hanley in particular, no one inside the apartment should be able to beat him, and Muay Thai is an extremely terrifying fist to kill in actual combat." "Is that so?" Mo Yuan was a bit stunned for a moment. "If I were to arrange this, I should at least have gotten two trustees in advance to put on a show. But it's no wonder, the two siblings entered the apartment too briefly for anyone to trust them all." "Like …… some of the residents, ostensibly neutral, are actually your diehards?" "It's also possible …… that some of the residents are ostensibly following my orders, but are actually your Mo Yuan's people." Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan, for a while, became somewhat tit for tat. In fact, both sides suspected that they had been planted with each other's people around them. "I won't die." Qin Ziyuan didn't care about the current riot in the apartment, as long as he didn't die, the apartment situation wouldn't affect him no matter how it changed. He would definitely be able to think of a way. "Listen up ……," Qin Ziyuan pointed at Qin Xiaoming and Qin Xiaolan and said, "I'll take you back to the highway there, and we'll head along the section of the area where you appeared. You guys try to see if you can recall, right now your memories might be our last hope. Understand?" This feeling of the death countdown coming step by step was too unpleasant. But Qin Ziyuan still forced himself to remain calm, to go crazy and break down, just wait for the moment of death well, as long as he was still alive, he wouldn't give up on his quest for survival. Qin Xiaoming also knew that it was just as much about his life and death. He was now more scared than Qin Ziyuan, because if things went on, he would probably be the next person who would die! And so …… they began to approach the highway, heading towards the location where they had appeared. "I have a hunch." Mo Yuan looked at the approaching highway and said, "We might encounter a third set of four." "Maybe. ……" Qin Ziyuan actually regretted a bit that he shouldn't have let Mo Yuan let that middle-aged man go just now. He might have been able to dig out other clues to the way of life on him! But just now, he had suffered too much of a blow, and he hadn't been smoking again, so his thoughts were a bit disorganized, which caused the middle-aged man to leave. "Mo Yuan. You are simply …… not suitable to be a building manager!"
