Chapter 33: The Belonging of Brother and Sister
After the truck driver dropped them off in the city, the duo got out of the truck because it was out of their way. By this time, both of them had turned off the video chat on their cell phones. They now hailed another cab. After getting into the cab, Qin Ziyuan suddenly said, ''This time, Bloodletter's performance wasn't at all the caliber you deserve. I know why this is, after seeing the word 'hell', you subconsciously actually wished that you could fall into hell and meet your already dead lover, didn't you?" Mo Yuan was silent, equating to acquiescing to Qin Ziyuan's words. And then, he looked outside and changed the topic, "Two entrances to hell were opened, and other entrances to hell will be opened again in the future, leading to ……" "But we're still alive, aren't we? Other than that, there's no other choice." Mo Yuan knew that Qin Ziyuan was telling the truth. Once the hell entrances were all opened, something extremely terrifying would happen. What exactly, he and Qin Ziyuan were not sure. But at the very least, it was feared that the apartment dwellers would not be able to be left alone in the midst of this. As for how large the area of influence would be, it was also unknown. Obviously, even if someone could complete the Blood Character to make a wish ten times, it would still not be able to close the entrance to hell, and all wishes involving the rules of the apartment and psychic phenomena would not be granted. There was no doubt about that. For Qin Ziyuan, it was naturally the best strategy to be able to stop the hell entrance from opening all the way. However, if things could not be done, he could only choose to flee to the United States across the ocean. On the way back to the apartment by cab, Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan didn't have too much joy of completing the Blood Character. Today's everything, on the contrary there was a possibility that a big mistake would be made. "It is necessary to conceal this matter." "That's natural ……." What was related to hell would surely be a high level bloodletter, and there wouldn't be too many residents who would have the chance to take it. In any case, the apartment must not fall into panic, and stability must be the main focus. The number of bloodletters has become a class divide between the apartment residents that is difficult to cross. Sooner or later, this conflict would erupt in full force, and right now, it could only be suppressed for the time being. When he was about to return to the apartment, Qin Ziyuan opened the video communication with Dong Ning again. "Dong Ning," Qin Ziyuan said as he saw Dong Ning's face appear on the cell phone video, "Where are you now? Come back to the apartment first." Dong Ning didn't feel that Qin Ziyuan knew about her hiring an assassin, and he seemed to have something to discuss with her. "Yes." Dong Xie instantly became worried, they all understood Qin Ziyuan's style. What was he going to do here? In the hall on the first floor of the apartment, only Nie Han remained alone still now. And at this moment, Qin Ziyuan and Mo Yuan returned. After pushing open the revolving door and seeing that Nie Han was the only one there, Qin Ziyuan couldn't help but smile and say, "We're back." Nie Han raised her head to look at them, nodded, and said, "It's good to be back." And not long after, Dong Evil and Dong Ning returned. Dong Ning had naturally canceled the assassin's order, and the money was still paid as it was. Seeing Dong Ning return, Qin Ziyuan smiled, walked forward, and whispered in a voice only the two could hear, "Your ploy was outstanding. However, I don't want the apartment to be thrown into a panic from now on, order comes first for me. This matter, let's say that I arranged it in order to prevent chaos from starting to occur in the apartment after my death." Dong Ning froze, and just as she was about to deny it, Qin Ziyuan said, "Don't deny it. It is impossible for evil spirits to appear within the apartment. I won't believe a word of any of your denials." Perhaps Dong Ning thought she had done a masterful job, but in Qin Ziyuan's eyes, it was really broken. The Warehouse Evil Spirit Incident was an exception, and the apartment had never been invaded by an evil spirit again in eight years. "Why did you do that?" Dong Ning still showed a wary look. "You siblings have a lot of potential." When he said that, Qin Ziyuan's voice lifted, "Especially your brother, I'm very optimistic about his potential." Hearing Qin Ziyuan say that, Dong Xie even suspected that he had heard wrong from time to time? If Qin Ziyuan was optimistic about Ah Ning's potential, he wouldn't have thought it was so strange, but according to him, it was more favorable to himself? "There's no mistake here, is there?" Dong Xie pointed at himself, "You mean …… me?" "Could it be that you have other brothers?" To Qin Ziyuan, what he appreciated about Dong Xie was that he would show strong potential in life and death crisis situations, thinking more calmly instead, sometimes even more cerebrally, thinking about things in a different way often, and would not be easily deceived by preconceived instructions in blood. In front of a crisis, people tend to be more easily swayed by fear, and it is difficult to continue to maintain rationality. However, there were also people who would bounce back in times of despair instead, and the more they faced death, the more they were able to stimulate their potential. Therefore, Qin Ziyuan regarded Dong Xie as a diamond in the rough that was quite worth building. Both Dong Xie and Dong Ning thought that since they had chosen to get closer to Mo Yuan, perhaps Qin Ziyuan wouldn't pull them in. But they didn't expect him to actually take the initiative to extend an olive branch. "Good." Dong Qi agreed without much hesitation. Qin Ziyuan was one of the three giants within the apartment, and regardless of his character, he was extremely protective of the people under his command, which was why everyone was willing to look up to him. And Qin Ziyuan's cleverness lies in the fact that he will only remotely offer advice to the people under his command to help them get through the blood word task, not like Mo Yuan so gratuitous help, so in order to get help the residents naturally have to do things for him. Like Mo Yuan, no matter if it is not his own people to help, then why should people still listen to your orders, or provide help to you? Dong Xie actually agreed with Qin Ziyuan's approach on this point. Human nature is like that. Even for those residents under Qin Ziyuan's command, Mo Yuan will offer his advice if he sees a way out, without asking for anything in return. The cost of offending Mo Yuan is so small that if Qin Ziyuan didn't have everyone under his command, it's estimated that more than half of the people in the apartment would have gone to help Qin Ziyuan. Qin Ziyuan actually had his own considerations. It was true that he could completely empty Mo Yuan, the building manager, into a puppet, but he was also clear about one thing: the more subordinates there were, the better. There were too many people, and it was impossible for him to save each and every one of them. Over time, people would become resentful and dissatisfied with his abilities. Also, only a few were gathered under his banner, and with the mortality rate of other occupants who did not join him for comparison, they would be more loyal. Man is one of those creatures who must realize how fortunate he is from the contrast with the misfortunes of others. In terms of management, harnessing these means, Qin Ziyuan was much better than Mo Yuan. Within the apartment, this delicate balance had been maintained. Therefore, Dong Xie decided to join Qin Ziyuan's command without hesitation. In this way, in the future, when he went to execute the Blood Character, both Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan could offer him advice not to mention that there would be no need to hire an assassin to solve Chang Yong's problems. "Very good." Qin Ziyuan was satisfied with this. He had always wanted to bring Nie Han under his command as well, but the latter had never had the will to do so. While Dong Ning's potential was no less than Nie Han's, as for Dong Xie, he also had quite high expectations. "From today onwards, the two of you, you are my people!"
