Chapter 11: Li Yin
At this time, there is also no more half a light in the building.
The narrow building corridor was like transformed into the mouth of a monster, releasing a huge darkness at any time. At this moment, Dong Xie felt that the darkness in front of him, which seemed to be able to devour him at any time, was the true hell.
They walked down the hallway of the 5th floor and came to a corner.
All of the light sources today were all from the lighter in Ge Qi's hand, and there wasn't even a single window on the hallway. While it looked like the 5th floor had really not been inhabited for a long time, the ground was littered with some broken cardboard boxes and plastic bags, and the corners of the walls were covered with cobwebs.
"This musty smell …… is really ……" Feng Yu subconsciously covered his nose, the smell is really difficult to say.
Walking ahead, a corner appeared.
They are a little bit, carefully walk up, just afraid of turning this corner in front of them, there will be what "unknown things". Everyone is almost close to the body together, trembling, like Feng Yu and Ge Qi heart is thinking, if those "unnamable things" out, it is best to let their side of the first person to die.
Fortunately, after turning the corner …… nothing appeared.
"Well …… what's this?"
Ge Qi turned his lighter to a side wall, and then he realized that there was some strange graffiti on the wall.
The graffiti that looked like it was obviously drawn by a child who was only a few years old.
Gage took another step closer and shone the lighter on that wall.
"What …… is this?"
His eyes widened as he stared dead at that wall.
Dong Qi and Dong Ning also came up and looked at the graffiti on that wall. Only to see that on there, what looked like stair steps were painted, and below those stair steps, several figures covered in black were painted.
This was obviously kindergarten level graffiti, but seeing this scene here was creepy.
"Now that I think about it ……," At this time, Dong Xie subconsciously rubbed his chin with his hand, Dong Ning knew that this was an action that his brother would make every time he was nervous.
"What?" Zhao Long looked over and asked, "What do you have in mind?"
Zhao Long was actually just like Feng Yu, Ge Qi and the two of them, all of them did not expect much from Dong Xie, and the only impression they had of him was that his name was rather impressive. Now that he couldn't contact Mo Yuan, Zhao Long was also beating a dead horse and wanted to hear Dong Xie's opinion. After all, three ignorant cobblers were better than one Zhu Geliang. There might be something to be gained if a few people gathered together to discuss it.
"The fourth floor was locked …… That also means that something should have happened before ……" Dong Xie looked at the painting in front of him, "This painting might be the ……"
The fourth floor was now locked, and only the elevator could reach the fourth floor, and there was no longer an occupant there. But in the past, there might have been someone living there. Something terrible might have happened back then. The dark figures on the painting might be the so-called "Unnamable Things".
"Well ……" Dong Ning pointed to the painted staircase steps above and said: "If that staircase step is seen by some child ……4 building, it is the place where some 'unclean things' are found. the words of some 'unclean things'……"
Everyone was starting to look at each other. Looking at the dark silhouettes on the walls, everyone was beginning to feel their scalps tingle.
"So …… those things …… won't leave the 4th floor? If so we are safe?" Feng Yu pointed to the painting and said, "Because …… the child who witnessed this and drew it down didn't die ah?"
"Did you forget about that old lady?" However, at this time, Ge Qi's words made Feng Yu react, he was completely delusional ah.
"Also …… also ……" Feng Yu scratched his head and said, "Speaking of which… . that old lady, since she is one of those 'things that must not be named', then why did she warn us not to enter the 4th floor? Warned us instead to keep us away from danger?"
"Well …… indeed," Zhao Long also admitted that it was quite indefensible, "Why exactly is that?"
At this time, Dong Ning suddenly spoke up, "It should belong to the category of being a life path tip."
The others all immediately focused their sights on Dong Ning.
Zhao Long became interested in Dong Ning's statement and immediately asked, "You …… tell me."
He had no expectations for either of these siblings, and felt that it was already good enough for them to not drag their feet. But is, since the beginning of the blood word, living through a blood word Feng Yu and Ge Qi extremely panicked, almost pissed his pants, to know that now those "unclean things" have not yet appeared ah! Although Dong Xie and Dong Ning siblings are obviously very scared, but their response is generally more measured, and I can't imagine that the other two are really dragging their feet.
Dong Ning then spoke, "It's not as if there's no such precedent in the bloodletter records of the past, hinting to the occupants about the path to life through those …… things ……. For example, a certain blood word instruction from many years ago, that blood word task in which the occupants went to two abandoned houses to deliver letters for two dead couples respectively. The information within the letters gave the occupants important life path hints."
"Oh!" Dong Xie hastily concurred, "That's the one that utilized the information and names of people in the letters to mislead the occupants and make them trigger the dead path ……"
That blood letter case was very classic, as it was highly misleading, causing that blood letter to almost fall into a horrific ending of total annihilation. Most importantly, one of the executors of that bloodletter instruction was Li Yin, the resident who later managed to leave the apartment. Dong Xie had particularly admired this person called Li Yin when he read those blood word case records, and many of the blood word records had been personally organized by himself and left for the later residents. That time with the blood words, it was also he himself who discovered the trap in the blood word instructions.
"The path of death and the path of life are inherently relative." Dong Ning continued, "Judging from the records of that past Bloodletter, 'those things' were restricted by the apartment in the pre-Bloodletter period, leading to the information that would be revealed to us. Although we don't know if the so-called inability to go to the 4th floor is the so-called dead end, there may be hope in this that we can find a way to live."
"But ……" Dong Xie said after thinking about it, "I think …… maybe as you said, 'those things' will give us important hints, but if traveling to the 4th floor is the way to death and not going to the 4th floor is the way to life, it's a bit too simple, right?"
Everyone else chimed in that it was a bit too simple. Staying on the 5th floor all the time would be safe for five hours? Such a bloodstained record had never existed before.
Going to the 4th floor was triggering a dead end. But if one knew this in advance, who would go to the 4th floor to seek death?
From what the old lady said, it seems that going through the stairwell on the 4th floor doesn't count as entering the "4th floor". Not go to the 4th floor, is the way of life, they also no one believe.
Then …… will not go to the 4th floor in order to reverse deduce the way of life?
Dong Xie at this time feel very headache, in the end there is a way to find clues to the birth of the road?
And unlike Dong Xie, Dong Ning firmly believed in one thing deep down. That was that …… that old lady, must have revealed to them, the key birth path hint information!
