Chapter 18: Intelligence Exchange
Standing under the roof, Dong Qi listened to the man in front of him describe his experience. "So we are both Chinese." The man then began, "I brought my wife to this shrine because I had some things to investigate, but in that forest in front of us, we encountered something terrible. We were then brought here by the people of this shrine and placed here to stay." "Well, my name is Dong Xie." Dong Xie was also anxious as he said, "I came here with my sister, but she's gone now!" "My name is Ke Yinye, you said you came with your sister?" "Uh, that's right, so …… wait? What did you just say your name was?" "Ke Ginyu. What's the problem?" "Your wife wouldn't be called Ke Yin Yu …… would she?" Ke Yinye's eyelids jumped, and he even took a big step back, revealing a wary look! "Who are you!" Looking at this reaction, it really wasn't wrong! Dong Xie checked the bloodstained records from back then, and of the several occupants who managed to escape, the person he was most impressed with was Ke Yinye. To say why, he was quite similar to his own experience. Ke Yinye was one of the residents whose abilities were ranked in the first tier back then, close to the building manager Li Yin. Generally, bloodstained records would not specifically mention a resident's personal situation, but Ke Yinye's situation was extremely special, so the resident in charge of recording the bloodstained records also had a bit of selfishness, and specifically noted some of Ke Yinye's circumstances. Ke Yinye's sister, Ke Yinyu, was his father's adopted daughter, and because there was no blood relationship, Ke Yinye had been secretly in love with his sister, but the latter did not know. Later on, Ke Yin Yu met a scummy man who joined a cult and introduced her to the apartment intentionally as a sacrifice because he met a bad person. Ke Yinye took the initiative to enter the apartment for the sake of her sister, and used the apartment's blood letter mission to get the scum guy killed. Ke Yin Yu later learned the truth and fell in love with her righteous brother, Ke Yin Night, during the life and death experience of the blood word mission, and the two of them were considered lucky and managed to escape from the apartment. Because of this, Dong Xie felt that his experience with Ke Yinye was quite similar. Both of them had fallen in love with their unrelated sister, and although Dong Xie hadn't taken the initiative to enter the apartment, he had also taken the initiative to travel to the Blue Moon Village for the sake of Ning, narrowly escaping death. For the current him, he didn't dare to think about any long-term future, and he didn't intend to tell Ah Ning the truth. After all, how long they could live in the future was also a question. Today, meeting this former apartment dweller, or this Ke Yinye who had quite similar experiences to Dong Qi, also made Dong Qi feel incredible. Yesterday, he had first encountered Pu Shenyu, but today, he had encountered Ke Yinye! "Elder!" Dong Xie subconsciously blurted out this title, "I, I'm the current occupant of that damned hellish apartment you guys stayed in!" As soon as these words came out, Ke Yinye sucked in a breath of cold air. "You're the …… current resident of the apartment?" Ke Yinye never went back to K City after leaving the apartment. He also knew that back then, even after sealing the Demon King, the apartment would still exist, so it was just as likely that there would still be countless residents who would be attracted to the apartment and experience this cruel fate. It was just that he hadn't thought that he would actually encounter the apartment's occupants again in his lifetime! "Tell me," Silver Night quickly asked, "How many floors does the apartment have?" "Twenty-nine floors. But judging from the past Bloodletter records, there is also a 30th floor that exists, where you sealed the Demon King back then." "That's right, you are indeed an apartment dweller." Silver Night breathed a sigh of relief, "Although the possibility of you being an Evil Spirit can't be absolutely ruled out, there doesn't seem to be much point in deceiving me." "Senpai, why are you here, didn't you leave the apartment back in the day?" Regardless, in this moment of helplessness and fear, meeting a former apartment dweller still cheered him up. The other party had completed more Blood Characters than him, and was stronger than Mo Yuan, Qin Ziyuan, and might not even be inferior to Fang Han. "It was supposed to be like this, but we encountered something terrible. Not much more to say first, I need to find my wife, this place is too weird and scary!" "Did you wake up in the middle of the night and realize that she wasn't around, so you came out to look for her?" "Is …… that what happened to you too?" Then, in the torrential rain, the two of them, each holding an umbrella (Ginyu had also found an umbrella at the other house where he was), began to search the shrine. But no matter where they went, they couldn't see a single figure. The hearts of the duo, too, began to sink ever lower. "A wish can be granted? Isn't that just like the era Midori was in?" Ko Yinye was still quite surprised to hear that the apartments nowadays actually allowed their residents to grant wishes, and also gave cash rewards after the Bloodletter execution was completed. "Well, but it's very restrictive, and supernatural things can't be realized across the board. It's ridiculous, isn't it, that it's clearly an apartment with a completely supernatural existence." "Why is it that after the sealing of the Demon King, the residents of your generation regained the reward of being able to make wishes?" Ginyo realized that there was some kind of reason for this, I'm afraid, but at the moment he was more worried about Ginyu, so he couldn't think about that in time. They weren't residents anymore, so that meant that the apartment wouldn't give them the protections and restrictions they had as residents. However, Silver Night had obtained important information from Dong Evil that the bloodletter mission was only starting from the afternoon. "It's just as dangerous to be at the execution location before the bloodletter mission starts, that's what the past bloodletter records recorded, right?" Dong Qi asked tentatively, "We have seen such records in the past." Silver Night nodded and said, "It's this way right. But I just thought about it carefully, and our encounter may not have been by chance, and it's possible that it was deliberately arranged by the apartment." "Deliberate arrangement?" "You know Li Yin and Chu Mi Zhen, right?" "Well …… of course I know Li Yin, but who is Chu Yizhen?" Dong Xie had no impression of this name at all. Silver Night wasn't surprised by this and said, "She's also a resident who has completed ten Blood Characters and is now Li Yin's wife. However, during the time period of her apartment, the residents were not in the habit of performing blood word records. The blood word records were started during the time of Xia Yuan, the building manager before Li Yin, and we made the final record before leaving the apartment after completing the Demon King level blood words." "Also the ten tenants who have completed the Bloodletter ten times?" Dong Xie knew very well that Li Yin and the others had not completed the Blood Word ten times, but had completed the Demon King level Blood Word before receiving the amnesty to leave the apartment. Realistically completing the Ten Times Blood Word was an extremely difficult thing to do, but of course it was possible that the difficulty of the Demon King level Blood Word was even more terrifying. "I'll make it short." Silver Night was now really anxious and explained, "Yayojin's younger brother was also a former apartment dweller, but he didn't make it past the tenth bloodletter, but as twins the two seem to have some sort of telepathy ……" Then, Silver Night informed Dong Qi that Yayojin had some nightmares, and in her dreams, she saw black holes that were like cracks in space. The earliest was at the end of 2018, and there was another time just a short while ago. "Wait!" Dong Xie suddenly realized, wasn't this black hole the entrance to hell? After Dong Xie had passed on Fang Han's message from the Hawaiian side to Qin Ziyuan, Qin Ziyuan had also informed Dong Xie about the entrance to hell. Therefore, Dong Xie also learned that when Fang Han's ninth bloodletter was the first time the Hell Entrance had opened. Dong Xie immediately informed Yin Night of this matter This matter, the time when Mi Zhen dreamed of his younger brother, Mi Tian, and the black hole of the Hell Entrance happened to be not long after Fang Han had completed his ninth Blood Word and Mo Yuan Qin Ziyuan's fifth Blood Word. And both of these two Blood Words resulted in the opening of the Hell Entrance. As for Fang Han's message, originally Qin Ziyuan had asked Dong Xie to keep it strictly confidential, but he weighed his options and still informed Silver Night. When Silver Night heard these words, he was too shocked to speak! "You mean …… are saying that with all five hell entrances open, even those of us residents who left the apartment will die just the same?" "That's what he said, Fang Han." "That person called Fang Han, is he really dead?" Silver Night surmised many possibilities after listening to Dong Xie's extremely brief words of analysis. "What do you mean?" "Your encounter in Hawaii couldn't have been a fluke, that person called Fang Han could have survived ten Blood Characters, is he really someone who can be killed that easily? Why did he use such a roundabout means to inform you of the information?" Silver Night quickly came to the conclusion that the person called Fang Han was most likely still alive! "Me, and Silver Feather, and Li Yin …… If all the entrances to hell open, will we still die?" Silver Night clenched his hands, and in this torrential rain, he only felt an unprecedented terror. Was Midori's disappearance also related to this matter? "We must go back alive, go back …… alive and tell Li Yin about this matter!"
