Chapter 44: – the mystery of the apartment

December 5th. "Happy birthday, Ning!" Dong Xie had booked the restaurant and cake a month earlier, and although he hadn't expected a huge change in the midst of it, he felt that it was still meaningful to give Aning a birthday at this crucial time. "It's not …… right?" Dong Ning herself had forgotten her own birthday, not to mention the recent situation she had been running for survival, how could she not expect her brother to still keep her birthday in mind. Today originally brother brought her out to eat, she did not think so much, unexpectedly …… The cake was brought up by the clerk, and the candles had been inserted on top as well. "Make a wish!" Dong Xie smiled and said, "There's no need to say it." The cake chosen was Ah Ning's favorite tiramisu, and from a very young age Dong Xie had always wondered why her sister, who had a cool love of sweets, could never get fat, and she remembered all of her favorite sweets very well herself. "Hmm!" Ah Ning looked at the cake in front of her and the candles on top, her heart couldn't help but feel mixed feelings. This birthday this year was too special, without her brother, perhaps she would have died in that building long ago. "Brother …… after this, let's spend our birthday like this every year! I don't have any other wishes!" Dong Xie nodded. The road ahead was still filled with countless dangers, but fortunately for this road, he was not alone! "Brother ……," Ah Ning blew out the candles before her face became grave: "I want to talk to you about ……" "Things related to the apartment, I don't want to talk about today for the time being." "This is the most important thing for us right now." Dong Xie looked at Dong Ning's solemn expression, nodded, and said, "Let's talk about it after eating the cake, okay? Isn't it your motto not to think about troublesome issues when savoring sweets?" Dong Ning instantly guffawed, "Well, even if tomorrow is the end of the world, I'm still going to eat a whole lot of sweets!" "But …… Ah Ning, today is a special case. I've already purchased a membership and coach at the most expensive fitness club in the city, and next we'll be doing physical training on all fronts, and simple combat self-defense techniques to learn. Body fat percentage, is something that must be properly controlled. In the future Bloodletter missions, we may encounter all sorts of situations." "Hmm. Speaking of combat training, brother, you should probably really practice. Who knows if we'll encounter Ge Qi's kind of scum in the future." "People are really scarier than evil spirits sometimes." After eating the cake, Dong Ning took out her cell phone and showed Dong Xie her Tmall shopping cart, she planned to buy some paraphernalia useful for survival, including but not limited to compass, walkie-talkies, windproof lighters, Nanfu batteries, glow sticks, military knives, weatherproof clothing, mountaineering shoes, and sleeping bags …… In the future, Bloodletter may go to various environments, she must be be well prepared. "What do you think?" "It's very complete ah ……" "Right? Now we are not bad money, of course we have to purchase complete. Look, what else have you missed? If not, I'll place the order. Of course the delivery address can't be an apartment, just let the courier put it in the courier locker in the neighborhood we were living in." "Some things lockers seem to be unable to put ah …… seems to have to go back to pick up the courier again …… Well, how there are cosmetics?" "Well, last night shopping Taobao just happened to see Li Jiaqi and Wei Ya's live broadcast …… Even in this situation, I can not be less cosmetics! Anyway, it's not bad ……" "……" "Brother, in fact, this year's double 11 that trench coat is really very good, originally I have added to the shopping cart, but then you insisted that you do not need it, Christmas there are still discounts, why not help you buy it together?" Ah Ning is really still Ah Ning. Dong Qi is quite pleased, optimistic and open-minded, will not be easily defeated is one of her biggest advantages. "Cosmetics …… you feel free." Then …… they started to discuss the main thing. "Yesterday I tried live streaming inside the apartment." Dong Ning's expression also became serious at this time, "Sure enough, the …… pop-ups were all saying that they couldn't see any images at all. None of the photos and videos I took inside the apartment could be uploaded either, and they would be automatically deleted right away when they were transferred to the cloud disk. Later I tried outdoor live broadcasting, but I was afraid that someone would see the outside of the apartment and find this, in case …… it would be troublesome." "Well …… sure enough it's the same as what Mo Yuan said." "I checked the satellite panorama of Baidu map overlooking the neighborhood where the apartment is located, and the location where the apartment is located shows that behind that alley into the apartment is a dead end. The wall that encloses the apartment is, by definition, a fully enclosed wall structure. I tried to climb out on the inside of the wall facing the apartment, and then I couldn't see the apartment at all on the other side of the wall." "Well …… it feels the same as the nine and three-quarters station. Damn, might as well enter a wizarding school like Hogwarts like Harry Potter. What if …… destroy the walls?" "I asked Mo Far. This apartment complex is strange, there's been demolitions in all the old towns around here, but this one was never included in the demolition. As for the wall, Mo Yuan tried it before, destroying it on this side of the apartment will quickly and automatically restore it, and if you destroy it on the other side, you can only see the alley on one side of the destroyed wall. And, just as quickly, it will automatically recover." "Speaking of which, this neighborhood itself has pitifully few residents ……" "I checked around this area, it was still farmland in the nineties, and this neighborhood is all old houses that were converted later. I don't know how people got into apartments in the nineties. Judging from the blood-letter records, the group of occupants eight years ago has established that it can be verified that the condominiums existed in the 1960s." "That being said, all of the residents within the condominium, all of them originated from people outside the neighborhood. There are only a handful of residents who live inside this neighborhood. None of them seem to go near that alley either, and when I stopped one of the people in the neighborhood yesterday to ask about it, the other person didn't seem to know the inside story either. The condo seems to have been absorbing only residents from outside this condo complex." There are so many mysteries about the apartments, so many. The apartment complex itself was not much of a property to speak of, there wasn't even a security guard at the entrance, and some of the normal apartments inside were even unoccupied abandoned buildings. Many of the tenants' attempts to expose the apartment's information online had failed, and only some photos of evil spirits appearing near the apartment had survived, the ones Dong Xie had found in the TY forums. "That's not all I want to say." Dong Ning then continued, "During the meeting yesterday, about the question you asked. When mentioning that 'Fall into Hell' inside the Bloodletter Quest, I felt that Mo Yuan's expression was unnatural." Dong Xie froze for a moment when he heard this. "Is there …… any?" "There definitely is!" Dong Xie had to admit that in terms of attentiveness and observation, he was definitely inferior to Ah Ning. "You mean to say that …… Mo Yuan is hiding something from us?"
