Chapter 8: The Beginning

There was an electric kettle inside the room, plugging it in quickly boiled the water. This was already the third time Feng Yu had made coffee in the kitchen. There were still quite a few cups left in the cabinet inside the kitchen, and after Feng Yu roughly washed them, he used them to brew instant coffee. "There are still …… ten minutes left." When Feng Yu re-served the coffee, everyone was seated, each with a solemn expression. In the middle of them was a round table with a cell phone on it, while they all stared deathly at the time on the screen of the phone. Zero midnight was quickly approaching. The Blood Character, was about to officially begin. It was certain that sitting on the end of this room and staying up for five hours was absolutely impossible. Once the time arrived …… anything could happen. Who also does not know if they have already obtained the tips related to the way of life, who also does not know …… whether they will be the first to become a victim. Life is like grass in front of this apartment. Dong Qi once again picked up his coffee and took a sip. He was actually not at all sleepy at this time, even if he knew that the time was still early, he would still stare at the cell phone in front of him from time to time. Drinking coffee was actually just more or less a way to do some action, to distract his attention and cover up the intense fear inside. "I …… I'll go to the restroom and have another cigarette on the way." Gage was already going to the restroom for the sixth time since arriving here. Obviously, although he had the experience of escaping from death in the Blood Letter Instruction once, his fear still hadn't dissipated half a bit because of it. "You're going to continue smoking ah?" This caused Feng Yu to reveal a hint of dissatisfaction, "The ventilation in this room is not good in the first place, and every time I go to the restroom, it smells like smoke." "Who knows if this is the last cigarette of my life ……" Everyone was silent after Ge Qi uttered these words. As he walked in the direction of the toilet, Dong Xie put down his coffee cup and kept rubbing his palms, then looked at his cell phone but realized that not even a minute had passed yet. He had never imagined that ten minutes could actually be as long as this. He himself didn't know whether he wished time would pass faster or slower anymore. "There also seems to be very few people staying in this Building 3 ……." At this time, Zhao Long also couldn't endure this oppressive silence and opened his mouth, "The house lot here is originally very poor, there isn't even a grocery store around, many people have moved away, and the ones who live there are just some old people. On this floor, from what the landlord's son said, we are also the only ones who rent it." "At first also repeatedly asked whether anyone died in this and so on …… " Feng Yu drank another cup of coffee, yawned, "but a lot of blood words, can not find out the cause, unlike horror movies played inside, the end is generally are how many how many years ago this place died a person, such as the 'old corpse in the mountain village', 'spell grudge' and so on. So …… maybe the root cause can't be found out at all." Dong Qi, on the other hand, immediately said, "It may not be …… that the downstairs is locked, so maybe someone in the past found something similar …… Also, the landlady's death… . said that she died of a heart attack? Is it really that simple?" Everyone else looked at each other in disbelief. Everyone continued to stare at their cell phones, and watched as two minutes passed …… Suddenly, the phone vibrated! As soon as Zhao Long picked up the phone, it was the landlord calling! "Hello? Landlord? That ……" Zhao Long picked up the phone and put it on speakerphone, and just as he was about to ask something, the landlord's voice came from the other end of the phone. "It's like this, Mr. Zhao, something happened to my youngest son, I have to go out to the city, and I don't know when I'll be back to change the locks ……" "You're going out?" Zhao Long always felt that this is not like a coincidence, more similar to a domination of the blood word meditation, "Changing the locks is not urgent ……" "Well then, I'll be back tomorrow afternoon! That's it!" "Mr. Landlord! This No. 3 building, how many tenants are there in total?" Suddenly Zhao Long asked this question, after the landlord left, when the bloodletting started, there might be other tenants rippling in, I wonder if he could pry any news out of them. "Not much, the fourth and fifth floors were originally unoccupied, the first to third floors combined are seven households, I think, all of which are elderly people living alone. My son did not mention it to you?" "Well …… said …… but not so specific, line …… you, go first." Is that all there is? "Then again, no one's on the first through third floors right now either." "What …… what?" Zhao Long sniffed, "Why?" "Because the building is full of old people and there aren't many of them, and everyone is quite familiar with each other over time. So they all signed up for a group all went on a trip, if you guys hadn't come at this time, I would have gone on this group as well." Zhao Long looked at the people around him with stunned eyes. This was definitely …… not a coincidence! "Then I'll be going out ah." "Wait, Mr. Chen …… that …… I want to ask ……" Zhao Long scratched his head and said: "Your wife …… you said she died of a heart attack, right? Is this …… she passed away in this building?" "What are you asking for?" "Well …… I …… I'm just worried if the feng shui isn't good enough ……" Zhao Long also knew that this reason was so rotten that it didn't even make sense, but now he didn't have any other way. "This …… what feng shui ……" Just at this time, Dong Qi suddenly took the phone and asked, "Mr. Chen …… this, let me ask …… when your wife died, did she go to the 4th floor?" However, the cell phone had already been hung up. For a time, the scene became cold. "Do you think ……" Zhao Long looked at Dong Xie, "Mrs. Chen went to the 4th floor when she died?" Dong Xie grabbed his cell phone, pursed his lips, and tilted his head back slightly, "I'm also guessing." Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to say. Just at this time, Ge Qi, who was smoking in the toilet, also walked out and asked, "What's wrong? I thought I heard something about the 4th floor just now?" He was still holding a cigarette when he came out, and the strong smell of smoke made Dong Qi even more irritated. There were only five minutes until midnight zero. And right now, there were only the five of them in the entire Building 3! Of course, even if there were other people around, it wouldn't really make any difference, but so much so that this horrible feeling of loneliness shrouded everyone's hearts with a hint of gloom! They continued to stare at the cell phone in front of them. The time was getting closer and closer …… Finally, when the time on the cell phone finally showed up as 00:00 minutes, everyone was feeling short of breath. At the same time, all the lights in the room, unexpectedly, went out in an instant ……! "Ah!" "What's going on? A power outage?" "No, if there is a power outage, how come the cell phone is also dark?" "Don't panic, don't panic!" "Ning! Grab my hand! Don't let go!"
