Chapter 60: The Calm Before the Storm

W City. "We're going to investigate Green's experiences before she was born, and we won't return to the country just yet." Li Yin, on the other hand, was having a video call with Ke Yinye. "But continuing to stay in Tokyo will be dangerous!" Li Yin was very nervous and said to Ginyu within the video, "Why don't we just go back home first!" "If we're cursed, we'll die just the same if we go back home or not." Silver Night on the video then replied, "Whether or not what happened to Midori is related to the apartment is also something we want to determine." Li Yin looked at Silver Night's determined eyes within the video and knew that he had made up his mind. He clearly remembered that back then, this man had personally entered the apartment in order to save Silver Feather. The strength of his spiritual will was by no means something that could be imagined by ordinary people. They didn't know how many inhumane bloodletter missions they had gone through back then to finally survive! "You've talked about Yazhen's recent abnormalities, right?" Silver Night said with a solemn face, "Perhaps there is some connection between the two. Please, Li Yin. It's fortunate that I didn't bring them along with me to Tokyo in the first place because I still had some concerns about Coronavirus, and now it seems like a really wise decision." "I know, it's just two more pairs of chopsticks, just don't worry, I'll take care of your daughters. My son also plays well with them." Li Yin's heart was troubled. It has been eight years since he left the apartment, and it can be said that nothing unusual has ever happened in these eight years, until the year before …… Is Green …… dead? Li Yin still remembered what Green had said to him when he left the apartment that year. "My full name is Ninety-nine Green. Ninety-nine is my family name. I was a member of the Shadow Warrior family that served the Tokugawa family during the Edo period, and I have been in charge of researching poisons. Later, I traveled to China, which was in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, in search of poison materials. Then, I mistakenly entered an apartment that was still an inn at that time." At that time, Li Yin was shocked, so the apartment could be traced back as far as the Qing Dynasty period? "At that time, the predecessor of the apartment was known to us as the Hell Inn. At that time, after completing ten Blood Character instructions or Demon King level Blood Characters, one wish could be granted. And my wish was that I could develop a drug that could survive for hundreds of years, which I could offer to the Lord. Eventually, on the eve of the Demon King level blood words, wishes were allowed, and as long as one didn't die, the wish was tantamount to being granted. I managed to develop the drug that could increase the life span of humans to three hundred years. It seems that even if one wishes directly on the apartment, the lifespan can be increased to three hundred years at most." At that time, Li Yin was very shocked. The apartment during the Qing Dynasty was still an inn! Moreover, back then, completing ten Blood Characters or Demon King level Blood Characters was able to fulfill a wish! And they had worked their asses off to complete the blood words without such a reward! Midori was later trapped on the top floor of the then Hell Inn for executing the fifty-yearly Demon King's Bloodletter, and was not liberated by Li Yin and the others until eight years ago. So why did the long years change and why did the apartment change drastically, resulting in no longer being able to grant wishes? This was something that Ninety-Nine Greens was just as puzzled by. But the fact that she was able to survive from the middle of the Qing Dynasty until today at least proves that the apartment does have the ability to fulfill human wishes. It was just a pity that such wishes were also severely restricted; trying to revive the dead or using it to fight against evil spirits could not be done. As for what obtaining superpowers, conquering the world, as well as …… destroying the apartment, it was even more half impossible. "Anyway …… you guys be careful." "Uh, good." After closing the video, Li Yin's heart was extremely uneasy. He always felt that for more than eight years, no, it was actually about to be nine years, the days of peace and quiet were only about to end. Combined with Mizhen's reaction, and the now unaccounted for Ninety-Nine Greens, Li Yin could already be sure that calamity would come. Everything, most likely, was related to that apartment. At this point, he was contemplating the question of whether he should go back to K City and then communicate with the current apartment occupants. …… Late at night. At this time, Dong Xie was still unable to sleep peacefully. In the wee hours of the morning, he was sitting alone within the living room of his uncle's house. Intense uneasiness made it difficult for him to sleep at all times. The candle flame in the spiritual hall had to remain lit all the time, and looking at his grandmother's remains reflected in the darkness in front of the firelight, Dong Xie felt more and more chills at his back. It was now 3:00 a.m., but he had no desire to sleep at all and was still swiping his cell phone. At this time, the one person who could talk to him was naturally Kitayama Jinglong, who was also a night owl. "I'm sorry for your loss, Ghostfire." On WeChat, Kitayama Jinglong counseled, "When an old man dies at such a young age, it can be considered a happy mourning." "Well, thanks." "What a shame, I was going to invite you to my wedding." "Depends, if there's time." Dong Xie wasn't sure when the blood words would be released, so naturally, he didn't dare to have an agreement with anyone. But after completing the Bloodletter three times, he shouldn't be receiving any new Bloodletter instructions in the short term. And at this time, Kitayama Jinglong continued to send the message, "Alright then. My wedding will be held once in China and once in Japan, so if you can come, I'll send you an invitation in advance." After Dong Xie and Beishan Jinglong had just friended each other online, he knew that Beishan Jinglong was of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent, with his mother being Japanese, but of course his nationality was Chinese. His real name is Jing Tianlong, and Beishan is his mother's surname, so Beishan Jinglong is his Japanese name. Therefore, his novels have a very strong Japanese horror flavor. His mother's mother's family is in Japan, so his relatives on his mother's side are asking him to go to Japan to organize another wedding. At this time, Dong Xie remembered, what Sun Jiamin had said about, Mother Ziyi being Kitayama Jinglong's ex-girlfriend. However, without going into whether it was true or not, Kitayama Jinglong was a close friend of Dong Xie's, and Dong Xie refrained from commenting on his past. "What's your wife's real name?" "Well, it's confidential." At this time, a new WeChat from Xie Ruoni was displayed at the top of the cell phone screen, "Dong Xie, I just saw the statement you released, I'm sorry for your loss. I met your aunt at the hospital the other day, she came to visit your grandmother, right?" Ever since the incident of Black Ghosts and Shadows, Dong Xie had stopped working on The Devil's Apartment altogether, and finally decided to write a sequel to Mansion 444, so he wrote a new book, Mansion 444 II, which had already been serialized for 200,000 words. This time, because of his grandmother's passing, he decided to cut off his work for two days, so he released a statement. Xie Ruoni probably found his statement while searching for his new work online. "Thank you, I'm now at my grandmother's house for the wake." "My father is looking much better now, I really thank you, Dong Qi. I will definitely return this money to you in the future." Just at this time, Beishan Jinglong suddenly sent another message, "For this marriage, I'm also going to invite Xie Ruoni to come as well." "What?" Dong Xie was shocked. At that time, because Dong Xie loved the works of Deep Sea and Kitayama Jinglong, Xie Ruoni had also gone to read the duo's books, and as a result, she had become a fan of Kitayama Jinglong's books. So Dong Xie also let her and Beishan Jinglong add WeChat. He didn't expect that Beishan Jinglong would actually make this decision. That said, he and Xie Ruoni this fate …… less than half a year in less than half a year twice in a row both were invited to the wedding? "Actually, I was thinking that maybe I could set you guys up to get back together la." Beishan Jinglong explained, "Back then, I still remember how the two of you spread dog food to me as a single dog in the circle of friends. I've since paid attention to Xie Ruoni's circle of friends, and she hasn't had any new boyfriends, so maybe you still have a chance! This time if you come, I'll think of a way to create some atmosphere for you two, like arranging a ……" "This, there's really no need, Xie Ruoni and I, it's really impossible." "That's fine too. As long as you come over. Anyway, I'll do two weddings, see which time you're free I'll invite her which time." Dong Xie couldn't help but cry and laugh a little. "Your sister can come along too." Beishan Jinglong sent another message, "I remember that inside your circle of friends back then, besides Xie Ruoni, the most photos were with your sister. I also have a sister, but one of us is in China and the other is in Japan, so we usually don't have much of a chance to see each other, so I'm quite envious that you and your sister can live together all the time." At the mention of Ning, Dong Xie recalled Sun Jiamin's words again. The more he thought about it now, the more wrong he felt, was this really Mu Aishan lying? What was the point of such a lie? Why would Mu Aishan hear herself say that she was an only child and didn't have a sister? At the same time, W City. Li Yin and Yizhen did not have any sleep at all. After almost nine years of being out of the apartment, the nightmare was about to return? Li Yin held Yayojin's hand and said, "At that time, the girl you met, why did you say to her, 'You shouldn't exist here', or can't you remember why you said that?" Yayojin mumbled his lips and said, "I don't know …… but analyzing it, there are two keys to that statement, 'exist' and 'here'. The reason why I said such words should be because I was influenced by Maitian. Then the so-called shouldn't, does it mean that it shouldn't be inside that hotel, or does it mean that …… that girl herself is someone who shouldn't exist?"
