Chapter 54: Returning
Mo Yuan, Qin Ziyuan, Nie Han, and the group of residents behind them anxiously gathered in the hall on the first floor of the apartment. Finally, the figures of Dong Xie, Lian Zixin and Yun Nai appeared at the entrance of the alleyway in front of them! Dong Xie was desperately rushing towards the apartment at this point! At this point, he could already see the anxious Dong Ning behind the revolving door, and if it weren't for the fact that someone was pulling her, she would have definitely rushed straight out of the apartment to meet himself. At that time, he had directly awakened at the East Star TV station, and was so surprised that he couldn't believe it when he learned that the TV station had actually sent them back after recording the program. The reality show had been broadcast live on the entire network, and when he looked at the live broadcast, it actually did have footage of himself and the others! The only difference was that those residents who had died had become from the beginning had never been invited by the TV station to participate in the program, and no one had the memories of Han Lei and the others. For the first time, he truly realized how terrifying the apartment was, it was easy for it to make a person die, or even disappear from this world, or even manipulate time and space. Even a god was nothing more than that! As Dong Xie rushed towards the revolving door of the apartment, all of the residents were extremely nervous, and how dangerous it was the last time Nie Han returned was still fresh in everyone's mind! Qin Ziyuan rekindled a cigarette at this time, he had already smoked an entire pack of cigarettes today, and this pack was newly unwrapped. Plainly, although Qin Ziyuan was addicted to cigarettes, he usually never smoked in public places where people gathered, but today it seemed that because Han Lei's death had really hit him a little too hard, so it caused him to even begin to go into a trance. "Coming in!" It was only when Qin Ziyuan heard these three words that he suddenly realized that Dong Xie and the other three had already pushed open the revolving door and rushed into the apartment! Seeing this returning trio, he inhaled fiercely, seemingly itching to incorporate all the smoke into his lungs. It was only then that he really developed a trace of reality: Han Lei was really dead. And with both he and Chang Yong dead in this Bloodletter, the personal armament Qin Ziyuan had assembled had instantly lost half of its deterrent power, which would have a great impact on his future status in the apartment. As he gazed at Dong Xie, who was running and sweating profusely in front of him, he realized something, he had to properly promote and pull Dong Xie together now. Dong Xie was currently a very prestigious resident within this apartment. It could even be said that to a certain extent, it was no less than Mo Yuan. After all, the speed of the apartment's renewal is too fast, and new residents generally don't live more than two blood words on average, with an average survival cycle of less than four months. Therefore, ninety-nine percent of the existing residents only knew of Mo Yuan's Blood Character accomplishments, but after all, it was only by ear, but Dong Xie and Qin Ziyuan's means of getting the evil spirits into the apartment and exterminating them (although it was actually obviously just sealing them) was simply too great an impact. Plus, Dong Xie had previously shown even more of a resolute (or ruthless) side to his killing (or ruthlessness) in the Bloodletter mission of the Earthbound Spirit movie, and the force was also somewhat shocking (Qin Ziyuan, of course, didn't know about Dong Xie's level of fighting in the past where he'd been repeatedly defeated, or lost many fights). The combination of the two, at present under his own hands, literature has Ming Chenyan, martial arts still need a representative figure, Dong Xie is naturally the best candidate. Thus, he no longer hesitated. Although Han Lei's death pained him, after all, all hearts are made of flesh, Qin Ziyuan ultimately had to prioritize the solidity of his position within the apartment. Dong Xie ran into the apartment, which was completely reassuring. And at this time, Dong Ning quickly pounced in front of Dong Xie and hugged him tightly. "Brother …… you're back!" "Well …… back." …… "I'm still not quite at ease." Qin Ziyuan poured hot water towards the cup in front of him. Normally, he always drank hand-ground coffee, but today, his mood was really bad, so he just drank some instant coffee. He put the two cups on the coffee table in front of him, sat down on the sofa, looked at Mo Yuan who was sitting across from him, and said, "Dong Xie was …… behind the evil spirit at that time in Hawaii. I always feel that there is a problem." Mo Yuan nodded and said, "Then you think ……" "But he is indeed a talent." Qin Ziyuan picked up the spoon and absently stirred the coffee cup in front of him as he continued, "Surviving three Blood Characters is already not easy. As you know, in this apartment, three times of blood words is already beyond the average level of the residents. It seems that my vision was not wrong." Qin Ziyuan deliberately said that he knew nothing about Dong Xie's trip to Hawaii to encounter the evil spirits (although it was true that he didn't know either), in order to keep Mo Yuan from suspecting that the matter had anything to do with him. He wanted to bring Dong Xie in as his right-hand man, but he also knew that Dong Xie and Mo Yuan were also on good terms, so he wanted to talk to Mo Yuan about the matter. For Qin Ziyuan, as his inner circle, besides being smart and able to fight, there was one other thing that was also crucial, and that was absolute loyalty. This kind of loyalty is something that must be above right and wrong, above good and evil, which is also known as the butt decides the head. The reason why Mo Yuan couldn't form a faction in the apartment that could really fight against himself head on was because he was a Mr. Nice Guy who was nice to everyone, and being nice to anyone meant being mean to no one. You can only concentrate on being nice to a certain group of people, specializing in serving the interests of a certain group of people, and at the same time letting these people know that you need them to reciprocate your efforts, then this group of people will be able to willingly be driven by you. As for whether this interest will harm the interests of others, it is unimportant. There was no doubt that Mo Yuan could not do this, and this point could be said to be exactly the same as Fang Han at the time. And Dong Xie, this person, could decisively poison those pig teammates who were dragging their feet inside the movie theater in the first place, so it was evident that the noble disease of Madonna Disease definitely didn't exist in him. And he cherishes and loves his sister, this point can also be utilized. As for some of his personal friendship with Mo Yuan, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. Qin Ziyuan could tell from the information that Dong Xie had passed back in Hawaii, as well as Fang Han's dead-end refusal to contact Mo Yuan, that in the future, to stop the entrance to hell from opening, he was afraid that there was a possibility of an outbreak of infighting among the occupants. Do not underestimate this problem. Because of the rule of not being able to leave the apartment for more than 48 hours during the bloodletter mission, the tenants can't escape from each other at all, coupled with the fact that there is no possibility of the tenants being arrested and prosecuted for any crime they commit, once they have to start a fight to the death, the level of bloodshed won't be any less than that of the bloodletter mission, and even the number of deaths may be even more, after all, the tenants won't be subjected to the restrictions of the apartment, and there won't be any intervals between killings. The evil spirits can not enter the apartment even if they are scary, but the residents have to come back to the apartment eventually. The residents will eventually come back to the apartment. Qin Ziyuan was because he would take one step and consider the next ten, so that he could have survived until today and accomplished the word of blood five times. He had to make sure that if one day, he and Mo Yuan had to be enemies, the gun he sent to Dong Xie would be able to be aimed at Mo Yuan instead of himself. That was why he wanted to probe into the matter of what level of personal friendship Mo Yuan and Dong Xie were at. At the same time, it was also important to avoid Mo Yuan speculating that the trip to Hawaii was a conspiracy between him and Fang Han. The most crucial thing was …… that he also had a guess as to whether it was possible for Fang Han to have been secretly contacting Mo Yuan, and he was always convinced that Fang Han was not dead now. And they didn't know that this room at this time had been installed with eavesdropping equipment long ago. What's more, they didn't know that the current Fang Han had completely grasped their every move, every word, and every action. Only, the current Dong Xie was completely ignorant of all of this. After he returned to his apartment and ate a full meal, he immediately laid down on his bed and slept through the night. After this sleep, he didn't know how long he had slept before he woke up. At this time, the sky was already completely dark. Taking a look at the cell phone at the top of his bed, it was already 5:00 am. "I can't believe I slept for so long." He didn't have much sleep at this time, so he simply picked up his phone and opened Today's Headlines to check out the news. After scrolling through a few news items, he suddenly saw one of them. "The original author of Dead Bugs, Kitayama Jinglong's microblogging microblogging officially announced that he had received a license, and his bride is Nine Heavenly Smoke, who is also a writer for Singularity.com" "What?" Seeing this piece of information, Dong Xie could be said to have lost all sleep! Dong Xie and Beishan Jinglong, have always been in contact with each other, back in the day, Black Ghost Fire's name was a golden sign in Singularity Spiritual Network, but the good man is not to mention that year's courage, nowadays it's a trio of giants, however, now that the deep sea is dead, only the two giants, Beishan Jinglong and Nine Heavenly Smoke, are left. Regarding Nine Heavenly Smoke, many people had speculated that it was most likely female based on its style of writing and avatar, only that the other party had never publicly admitted it. "This is still quite unbelievable." He quickly went to check Weibo, and sure enough, this official announcement message had attracted a lot of attention. Previously, Nefly had adapted Kitayama Keiryu's horror novel Dead Bugs into a 10-episode web series, which was released at once. However, the difference between Nefly's web series with the country is quite large compared to its ancient zombie drama "Kingdom" with South Korea. The net drama was also poorly received at the time, with a Douban rating of 6.9, and the only thing that was more out of the ordinary was the face value of Mother Ziyi, who played the main female character, so much so that at the time there was once a popular emoticon pack that used Mother Ziyi's look as the main female character in Dead Worms. The director of "Dead Bugs" is also very good at coaching actors, so that the acting skills have been hovering above and below the passing line of the mother Ziyi in that web drama surprisingly also had a not bad performance. Although not a big hit, but barely considered to open a certain degree of popularity. The official announcement message also mentioned the second season of Dead Worm, which was released by Nefarious not long ago as a one-time release. Dong Xie and Kitayama Jinglong had talked about it, and the second season of Dead Worm was also due to the incident in which the mother, Ziyi, was suspected of murdering Li Chenyi, and even though the police did not arrest her in the end due to a lack of evidence, her reputation in the mainland's entertainment industry was already completely rotten, so she was replaced with another actress in the role on the spur of the moment. However, the word of mouth for the second season was even worse than the first, with a straight 5.3 on Douban. At that time, Kitayama Jinglong was very frustrated, he had hoped to rely on the second season of the reverse turnaround, from the big god promoted to platinum god, beyond the deep sea. Unfortunately, it failed miserably. At this time, Dong Xie immediately remembered what Han Lei had said. Why does he know …… the whereabouts of Mother Ziyi?
