Chapter 5: The Stare

Just as this thought popped up, Lin Quying immediately felt amused. This person surely couldn't have kept his head covered with a quilt, surely he had exposed his head when he had watched the funny variety videos before. How could it possibly be dead? He always still felt a little uneasy. So, he moved his binoculars towards the top, and that's when he saw the pretty girl in Prada and two other men talking in front of the window. Those two men, one of them was the man who was with that beautiful woman at the convenience store before, looked to be in his thirties, with slightly dull skin, but he was quite tall, while the other man was relatively good-looking, and he looked very rushed and uneasy, with a rather ugly expression on his face. And this time, upon closer inspection, he realized that there was another female sitting on a sofa further inland, and she would look towards the pretty girl in Prada from time to time. At this time, the pretty girl in Prada stood up and began to speak. Lin Quying didn't understand lips, so naturally he didn't know what she said, but she said a long paragraph, and as she spoke, the man with the darker skin nodded his head repeatedly, but the man with the showy face didn't speak much, while the other female seemed to be thinking about something as well, and likewise didn't speak. After watching for a while, Lin Quying pulled the curtains up and sat back in front of the computer. Then, he immediately opened his browser and typed in the URL, following which he searched for the book 'Devil's Apartment'. The male lead of this book, supposedly the same name as Black Ghost Fire himself, was called Dong Evil, and the real Black Ghost Fire appeared to have a younger sister, which Lin Quying didn't like too much, so he hadn't been able to read the book. "Well …… I'll take a look." Lin Quying clicked read, and then quickly began to read the book up. After reading for a while, he was rather quickly drawn into the plot. "The writing is not bad, but the plot is too uninviting, how do I feel that the feelings are a bit too that ah." Looking at it, he suddenly saw a name. "Nie Han?" Lin Quying instantly recalled that the woman in Prada from before, that man was calling her "Nie Han". Of course, the pronunciation was the same, so he naturally didn't know that the book had changed Han to Han. After seeing this name, he subconsciously touched his nose. In the book, the character Nie Han was called one of the Apartment Triumvirate, and she had currently completed four Blood Characters. Afterwards, Lin Quying immediately recalled what Nie Han had said earlier about "the fifth bloodletter". This and the novel's plot, surprisingly, fit perfectly! "The more Lin Quying looked at this ……", the more he felt his heart jumping. "Dingdong–" Just at this time, the doorbell ringing from outside startled him! He was instantly jolted, and it took him a long time to realize that it should be Cao Zhong coming. He quickly walked to the living room and was just about to go open the door when, ghostly, he brought his eyes to the cat's eye in front of him. Only after aligning his eyes with the cat's eye did he see that what was standing outside was none other than Cao Zhong. Lin Quying breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he open the door. "Ah Lin, your neighborhood is quite nice!" Cao Zhong wore a casual shirt and walked into the living room with a big grin, saying, "Doing live broadcasts is so lucrative now? This house is pretty good!" "Mortgage, mortgage." Lin Quying laughed awkwardly, then immediately closed the door behind him, all the locks all locked, and immediately afterward, he somehow managed to bring his eyes up to the cat's eye to take a look again. He pressed close to the cat's eye this time and looked outside. Outside the door, there happened to be a long corridor, and at this time, this corridor was empty, and there was no abnormality to be seen. "What are you doing? Alin?" "I …… I, I'm coming!" The living room was quite spacious, and Cao Zhong sat down on his butt, not even being formal and polite at all. Lin Quying, on the other hand, sat down on the sofa opposite Cao Zhong, looking very rushed. He realized that his heart seemed to be really messed up. "What's wrong with you?" Cao Zhong quickly realized that something was wrong, "Ah Lin, why do you look so soulful? Did you call me here for something?" "Well, also, it's nothing much." Lin Quying didn't dare to say it all, after all, he was afraid that if he said it all, Cao Zhong would be afraid to go back. Although Cao Zhong was very bold, he thought about it and decided not to say it. "Come on less!" Cao Zhong simply didn't believe Lin Quying's words, "I felt weird when you called before. What kind of medicine are you selling? Be quick, don't act like a pussy!" "Who, who's a pussy!" "Hey, hey, it's hard to say, aren't you pretending to be a woman on the air? You don't say, when I was in college I thought, your skin is better than a woman's, it's really rare." Lin Quying has long known that Cao Zhong's speech has always been straightforward, to put it nicely it is the true nature, to put it bluntly it is the low emotional quotient. However, now Lin Quying where there is still the slightest mood to care about these. "Then …… that, Cao Zhong, you, you will stay here with me until your girlfriend comes back from Japan, during this time, your room and board will be covered by me." "What exactly are you doing? So mysterious?" Cao Zhong froze as he looked at the pale Lin Quying in front of him, really a bit puzzled. Lin Quying sighed and leaned his head slightly, then said, "Well …… you don't have to ask, Cao Zhong. Anyway, you help me, that's all." "Mysterious! Can't figure you out!" Cao Zhong at this time saw a few cans of beer placed on the coffee table next to the sofa, and without asking Lin Quying, he directly grabbed a can, directly pulled the pull ring, and poured a big mouthful. "Well …… right, the takeout you ordered hasn't arrived yet?" "Ah, I, I forgot!" "What's wrong with you?" This time, Cao Zhong was all a bit unable to look away, after all, the current Lin Quying's state was too strange, "Forget it, do you have instant noodles at your house? Let's deal with it first, I'm starving." "There is …… Do you want Kangshifu's or Unified's?" "Whatever. Ugh, at home here it's all instant noodles, what am I doing out here?" Lin Duying walked to the kitchen, rummaged through the cabinets, took out two packages of instant noodles, and then began to boil water. "Alas? This telescope?" Lin Quying had just taken out the instant noodle pastries when he heard Cao Zhong's voice coming from the direction of the bedroom. He hurriedly ran inside the bedroom and saw Cao Zhong fiddling with the telescope. "Ah Lin, is this for observing the stars? Let me take a look ……" He brought his eyes to the telescope to take a look, and then said, "Wait wait, you brat, you're peeping across the street, right?" Lin Quying was startled and hurriedly walked up and pulled Cao Zhong back, saying, "You, don't be like this!" Then, Cao Zhong looked at Lin Quying with a lewd smile on his face and said, "I said that your kid is secretive, the original …… haha, this kind of good thing, also remember to share it with your brother, you're good!" "Ah?" "Alright, alright, I'll just stay here for a few days and it's fine." Cao Zhong said this, revealing a more obscene expression, said, "This telescope, can you see …… you know!" "No! It's all describable images!" "Che, who believes it! Look at this out of you!" Cao Zhong heavily patted Lin Quying's shoulder and said, "Oops, I just said you're a pussy and you're still really angry? It's okay, I understand. After all, you don't have a girlfriend like me, you're still single. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I won't tell anyone. You ah, earlier said there is such a good thing, I will immediately come over!" "That …… Cao Zhong, then you, you remember to pull the curtains well, don't let the people across the street find out." "OK, OK, OK, quickly go cook instant noodles!" Lin Quying returned inside the kitchen and continued to start cooking instant noodles. He was preoccupied at the moment, usually at this time, he was planning what to say during the live broadcast in the afternoon. But right now, his mind was blank and he couldn't think of anything. While he was bringing the finished cooked instant noodles to the bedroom, Cao Zhong was looking into the binoculars for a while. "That, Cao Zhong, come and eat the instant noodles." "You wait, I'll take another look ……" I don't know what he was looking at, he didn't even come to eat the noodles. After a while, he came over and said, "This telescope is really powerful, it's so clear to see!" Lin Quying then looked at the telescope and asked, "So what did you …… see?" "Well …… I saw a woman dressed in all red, standing in some window on the opposite side …… I always felt as if she, was looking towards you?"
