Chapter 12: Four People
Qin Ziyuan didn't end up killing his father.
His father still kept beating his mother until he was nineteen years old, when his mother, who had been beaten for a long time, finally died once because her spleen bled from his father's beating. It was only after the death that his father was finally arrested. Then, he was cast in a blank stare by countless people because his father was a murderer.
This is the reality. There is no good overcoming evil, only violence overcomes everything. People in this world would not fear the weak, only the overwhelming violence. Qin Ziyuan unswervingly believed that it was violence that could dominate the hearts and minds of the people, and that fighting violence with violence was the right thing to do. Therefore, when he went to visit his father in prison, he told him that he already had more than enough money. As soon as the day came for his father's release from prison, he would pay someone to slaughter him. He was trying to make his father fear the coming of death every single day for the rest of his sentence, but be powerless to stop it.
This was the deepest secret within Qin Ziyuan's heart, and not a single person in the entire apartment knew about it, nor would he tell anyone.
After retrieving his thoughts, he continued to start talking about business, "The Bloodletter mission we received is to protect your lives. If you guys die, it will be very troublesome for us."
Qin Xiaoming fell into silence for a moment. Only after a long time did he say, "That so-called apartment knew as early as last December that we would pass out here today? That's too powerful, right?"
Mo Yuan nodded and said, "We've experienced many things more unimaginable than this."
Qin Ziyuan suddenly felt that the air around him was so stuffy that he wanted to vomit.
He glanced at the rearview mirror again to make sure there was nothing behind him, then opened the door of the van and stepped down, following which he took out a cigarette and lit it.
Deeply inhaling the smoke into his lungs made him feel a lot more clear-headed. Since entering the apartment, Qin Ziyuan's addiction to smoking was getting bigger every day, and now smoking a pack of cigarettes a day was considered less. And the day before the bloodletter mission, he had smoked two packs of cigarettes.
At this stage, the number of plutonium bills was too limited. What was spilled just now was also too much. What to do when the evil spirits appear again next time?
After he took another hard puff, he threw the cigarettes out ruthlessly. Afterwards, he reappeared on the van.
"The evil spirit that …… we saw just now was wearing an obviously ancient costume right?"
"Yes." Mo Yuan also nodded and said affirmatively, "I also saw it clearly."
Qin Ziyuan then shot a glance at the four amnesiacs and said, "You guys also saw the scene behind the rearview mirror just now, right?"
"Uhm ……"
"Too, too scary ……"
"I still can't figure it out… Is that so-called evil spirit being manipulated by that apartment you guys are talking about?"
"Yeah ……"
By this time …… the bloodletter quest began, half an hour had already passed. A quarter of the time had passed. The four amnesiacs, however, were still unaware of their association with the evil spirits and the cause and effect of their pursuit.
Dong Xie stared deathly at the cell phone video in front of him, slowly exhaled, and said to Dong Ning, "What do you think, Ning?"
Dong Ning had also become highly serious now, and without playing with the Yuanfang body, he directly said, "At least it's certain that the medieval banknotes aren't the way to life that can be cured. If it's that simple, it wouldn't be so easy that as long as one person survives, it would be considered the completion of the Bloodletter mission."
"Then ……"
"There must be other ways to live."
With bloodletter quests, many times the way to life wasn't the only one.
"Well, just like in our time? At that time, that evil spirit's hand reached halfway in and retracted, also because ……"
"I've actually had other views about that one lately, brother."
"Other views?"
Dong Ning looked around and lowered his voice, "Actually, at that time, I felt that the evil spirit's hand didn't look like it was actively reaching out, but more like it was forcefully yanked out by someone."
Dong Xie froze when he heard this.
"What are you …… saying? Ah Ning?"
"It may not necessarily have been the word blood that indicated that, at that time, outside the door, there may have been another evil spirit that interfered. And the effects of that interference led to the fact that it was only two hours later that we encountered the Evil Spirit again. Do you remember? The bloodletter instructions once mentioned the accompanying note that we might be able to find the apartment's hidden rules by exploring the bloodletter quest."
Dong Qi immediately understood.
"So you're saying that this is the apartment's hidden rules?"
"This is just my speculation. I always feel that there is something else behind this matter."
At the same time, Qin Ziyuan started asking questions to the four people, "Can you guys remember anything about that white-clothed, ancient-dressed evil spirit?"
In a state of amnesia, it was indeed possible to recover one's memory if one saw something that had impressed them before. If these four people recalled anything, it would be a very important intelligence clue.
According to Qin Ziyuan's speculation, the medieval banknote was just an object that temporarily suppressed the actions of the evil spirits under the influence of the apartment's restrictions. The fact that the evil spirit did not appear sooner or later, but appeared at the exact moment when Mo Yuan picked up a bunch of medieval banknotes, was enough to make him make a connection.
The real path to life shouldn't be that simple. Moreover, it was very likely that it would have a great connection with these four people.
Just at this time, suddenly in front of the highway, a car slowly drove over!
Both Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan immediately paid attention!
"Is it that car?"
"No, it's not!"
And this time, they clearly saw that on top of that car, there was clearly someone.
However, the car suddenly stopped right in the middle of the drive.
Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan exchanged glances, then, Mo Yuan walked down, ready to take a look at the situation.
Two men came down from the car and walked to the back to open the hood and look.
"This car seems to have a problem …… What should we do? It's early in the morning ah, are we going to spend the night in the car?"
"There's someone down in that van in front of us! How about we let them tip us for a while?"
Mo Yuan walked to the front of the car, and then he suddenly realized that on this car in front of him, there were also four whole people!
Is this by chance?
The four people were dressed in a few non-mainstream ways. After they saw Mo Yuan, a man walked up and asked, "That, sir, is so, our car broke down and can't move. It is not convenient to call a tow truck that late …… If you guys are going to the city, can you take us for a while?"
Mo Yuan was however wary of these four people who suddenly appeared.
Why exactly four people, was it a coincidence?
"Sir? Is it okay, can you at least say something?"
Mo Yuan looked at the car in front of him and the people in it, then asked, "You guys just returned to the city that late?"
"We went to a party in a distant suburb, and we've only just returned. The time is indeed a little late …… Alas, this car is also really not of good quality ……"
Mo Yuan gradually backed up ……
These four people, in the end …… are they not real humans?
