Chapter 14: Another Room

At this instant, everyone's faces changed drastically. Especially Feng Yu, whose performance was the most unbearable, his legs trembled desperately, and he almost fell straight to the ground. The five people held their breaths almost simultaneously, not daring to say a word more, listening carefully to the sounds downstairs. Separated by a floor, the sound could actually be transmitted so clearly to the floor above, so it could be seen just how big the commotion below was. However, next, the surroundings became silent, and there was no more movement. Dong Xie's heart was beating wildly in fear, one hand barely supporting the wall next to him, while the other hand was still holding onto his sister Dong Ning's hand. After about ten seconds, Ge Qi took the lighter and swept around, making sure that there were no more "unnameable things", and only then did he breathe a little sigh of relief. He looked at Zhao Long in front of him, as low as possible, asked: "Below …… that 'thing'…… will come up? " Zhao Long's expression at this time was just as quite ugly, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "No …… don't know ah …… that 'thing' if it comes up ……" If it comes up, they will be finished! The tenants are facing those horrible "unnameable things", must not have the power to resist. And in this space where the range of movement is limited …… what can they do? "In the end who came up with this idea of renting a house!" Feng Yu said with hatred, "Had I known that there is not even a security guard here in the district, all the residents have gone to group tours, and the outside of building 3 is not locked at all, we do not need to rent a house on the 5th floor at all ah! If stay in the 1st floor ……" Ge Qi smiled bitterly for a lifetime and said, "This …… doesn't make much sense! Even if we go to the 1st floor, it's useless! We can't escape either! Otherwise, our shadows will manipulate our bodies to commit suicide! No resident has ever been able to undo the shadow curse!" Hearing Ge Qi's words, Dong Qi couldn't help but look at the shadow reflected on the wall by the lighter in Ge Qi's hand. He knew that his shadow had been cursed by the apartment, and it was this curse that was the most desperate. There was no way for humans to get rid of their shadows. In the past, tenants had tried many tricks to undo the shadow curse, including not going out into the sunlight, or having their hands and feet bound to stop the shadow from manipulating them into committing suicide. But there was no way around it; the Shadow was sure to kill a resident who dared to break the rules of the apartment. In fact, even the "things that shall not be named" will be devoured as soon as they enter the apartment, not to mention the human occupants. "We …… can only pray that 'they' don't come up!" Feng Yu actually really wanted to escape, but where to escape to? The only hope was that once "those things" came up, they must not kill themselves! During the Bloodletter Quest, when a resident was killed, usually not two people would die at the same time (of course, not always, but usually). The apartment restricts them from killing the occupants too quickly, and they will kill them one after the other, usually with an interval in between. This time, the Bloodletter was exactly five hours old, so it's likely that one person was killed every hour. Feng Yu only hoped that the first to die would not be himself, preferably one of the two new residents. Then, there would be an extra hour of time. This was like Russian roulette, right now Feng Yu only hoped that the others would die before himself, and then he could find a way to survive. "Zhao Long, do …… you have any ideas?" Feng Yu looked at Zhao Long, only hoping that he could think of a way to come. Zhao Long was also completely clueless at this time. It was his first time executing the Blood Character in such a closed building, and he didn't even have a place to escape to. In such a situation, he didn't know what could be done. Moreover, he was fed up with Feng Yu and Ge Qi always asking him questions, it wasn't like he was a hundred thousand reasons! At this moment, Dong Ning pulled Dong Qi's hand, and Dong Qi immediately looked at his sister. "Ah Ning?" "There's no need for you to stand in front of me when it matters, brother. It's a time of equality between men and women, and I'll stand with you." She then walked over to Dong Xie and looked at him with incomparably determined eyes. "Even for a second, don't die earlier than me, brother. The pain I felt at that time, I don't want to experience it again." Hearing Dong Ning's words shook Dong Xie to the core. What she was talking about was naturally the death of her parents. For a long time after that car accident, Ning had lived an incredibly gloomy life, unable to smile even when watching the funniest of movies. It was Dong Xie who had always tried to care for and look after her, and only then did she gradually become like she is now, enjoying sweets, make-up, planting herbs, and even doing her own beauty live broadcasts just like a normal girl. Dong Xie knows very well that for Ning, who lost her parents at the age of 11, she is the two of a kind of father and mother. He helped A Ning do her laundry, checked her homework, went to her parent-teacher conferences, picked out clothes for her, and even calculated the time of her menstrual period to help her cook brown sugar water …… Aunt and grandmother have always disliked A Ning, and couldn't see past the fact that they were paying for a child who didn't have any blood ties to the Dong family. But he has always kept this secret, back then if this secret is known by Ah Ning, she is afraid that it is impossible to be as cheerful and sunny as now, strong and unyielding, even if there is this kind of horror and despair for the average girl to the point of enough to break down the situation, she still thinks of herself as a brother in everything. "Ah Ning, you are my sister!" For so many long years, Dong Xie had long since stopped caring about Ah Ning's bloodline. To him, Ah Ning was just surnamed Dong and was his sister. No matter who it was, it was impossible to change that. The mistakes her mother had made should not be borne by her. No matter what she said, Dong Xie could not allow her to be harmed in the slightest! "Hm? Wait? This door is flimsy!" At this time, Ge Qi realized that a door next to him was half-open, revealing a doorway. They all looked over. Dong Xie instantly brightened up, realizing that in the moment just now, his mind had even begun to go through the motions and start reviewing his life. "Maybe there are some clues inside!" Dong Xie pointed at the hidden door and said, "I …… guys, go in and take a look?" Having said that, no one dared to move. Who knew if there would be something hiding behind the door inside by pushing it open? At this time, Dong Ning took out a folding mini selfie stick from within his pocket, and then pulled the selfie stick to its longest length. Dong Ning usually did outdoor live broadcasts on a whim, so she never forgot to bring her selfie stick whenever she went out. At this moment, she aimed the selfie stick at the hidden door and gently pushed it open! And Dong Qi pulled her hand, in case something really scurried out inside, he must protect his sister! The door pushed open …… Inside, it was a room without any furniture, more humble than a rough room. "Shall we go in …… and have a look?"
