Chapter 32: The Strange Apartment
And that seemingly ordinary apartment is like a monster that wants to eat people, and it is as if it will devour them at any time.
After watching the place for a while, Bai Ye took the lead in walking towards the apartment.
"Wait for me, Night. ”
The young White Emperor followed and walked towards the apartment.
Walking to the revolving door, Bai Ye stretched out his hand, pushed the revolving door, and walked in.
As they entered the apartment in the white night, the phantom heart in the Youquan Village felt something and muttered.
"Did you go in......"
At the same time, the gestures of both hands changed, and a wave of magic power emerged from his hands, and a water mirror condensed in front of the phantom.
The picture in the water mirror changed for a while, and the image of the strange apartment appeared in the mirror.
When they entered the apartment, they were greeted by a spacious lobby. The floor is finished in fine marble, the ceiling is hung with crystal chandeliers, and the lobby has a staircase to the left and three elevators to the right.
I saw their shadows floating on the ground in front of an elevator, and then the elevator door opened, and after the shadow floated in, the elevator door closed.
Bai Ye immediately rushed to the elevator door and looked at the floor display board of the elevator.
The elevator stopped on the sixth floor.
"Sixth floor......
Then, in the white night, they came to another elevator, pressed the button, and the elevator door slowly opened.
After that, White Night they walked closer and pressed the button on the sixth floor.
As the number of floors rose, Bai Ye felt a sense of depression, and the spiritual power in his body was slightly sluggish.
"Little night, I feel more and more uncomfortable. ”
The young White Emperor in the elevator gasped slightly.
"I'm the same, the magic in the air in this apartment is too strong, the spiritual power content is almost zero, Emperor Bai, you'd better pay attention to your own spiritual power stock, if your spiritual power is exhausted and the incarnation can't move, I won't divide the spiritual power among you." ”
Bai Ye replied with a solemn face.
"No, Xiao Yeye, you won't leave me alone, right?"
The young White Emperor looked at the white night pitifully.
"Then you're going to be disappointed, when you can't move, I'm going to take care of it. ”
Bai Ye, said lightly.
"Oh!NO!"
As he spoke, the elevator had reached the sixth floor, and the moment the elevator door opened, Bai Ye immediately walked out, and what appeared in front of him was a long corridor.
In the hallway, there are no windows, but the light is surprisingly abundant.
However, the more they walked forward in the white night, the more they had a deep feeling.
On both sides of the corridor, there are doors. The door is marked with the house number, "611", "610", "612", etc......
And when Bai Ye walked to the door of room "606", suddenly, I saw their shadows floating out of the crack in the door of that room and returning to their feet.
However, the shadows were still doing what they hadn't done in the white night.
On the right hand of the White Night Shadow, it seemed to grasp something, but it couldn't see clearly.
Immediately, the shadow of the white night stuffed the thing into the pockets of the shadow's pants. When it was done, its hands hung down and it didn't move.
Bai Ye tentatively waved his right arm, and to his surprise, the shadow also waved his right hand!
Shadow...... Homed?
At this time, Bai Ye felt as if there was something more in his trouser pocket.
Immediately, Bai Ye put his right hand into the pants pocket where the shadow had put the thing just now, and touched a hard thing.
It's like a key.
When I took it out, it was an ordinary-looking key, but the number "606" was engraved on it.
Bai Ye therefore looked at the door of room 606 beside him, inserted the key into the lock hole, and with a slight turn, the door opened.
Outside the door, Bai Ye and they looked at each other, slightly hesitating, because no matter how they looked, it looked like a trap to invite you into the urn.
The phantom demon looked through the water mirror and looked at the two of them who were hesitating at the door.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he whispered: "It's really cautious, but you can't help if you can't enter." ”
As he spoke, the phantom gesture changed, and the magic power condensed between his right fingers, and flicked it lightly towards the water mirror.
At the same time, the two of them outside the door of Room 606 suddenly felt an invisible force acting on their bodies, pushing them into Room 606.
As far as the eye can see, there is a rather large living room, with a coffee table, sofa, wardrobe, TV, and even a TV with karaoke and stereo, which seems to be quite expensive on the market. Next to the TV, there is a row of floor-to-ceiling windows with a balcony outside.
After a closer look, there are also two bedrooms, a study, a bathroom and a kitchen. And the rooms are very well decorated, the furniture is new, and most of them are brand-name goods.
"Damn! ”
Bai Ye, who was forced to enter the room, couldn't help but curse.
"You...... Are you, the new residents?"
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind Bai Ye, and he immediately looked back and saw a pretty girl in a green dress.
"Who are you?" asked the young man on the side, Bai Diqiang, first.
"I, I'm just like you...... It's all shadows that suddenly and automatically run into this apartment, and then, they become residents of this apartment. You guys, you got the key, right?"
When Bai Ye heard this, he looked the girl up and down, and found that there seemed to be nothing unusual about her, so he took the key and strode to the girl and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
"Since you're a new resident, as is customary, I'll take you to our building manager. He was unanimously elected by us, and when you go to see him, he will tell you about it, and then he will register your coming. ”
"Captain?"
The young White Emperor tilted his head and was slightly puzzled.
The girl didn't explain too much, and took the lead towards the elevator, and motioned for Bai Ye and them to follow.
The young White Emperor looked at Bai Ye and asked, "Shall we follow?"
Bai Ye thought about it for a moment and decided to follow along.
"Let's go. ”
In the elevator, Bai Ye inquired to the girl: "How many people live in this apartment at present." ”
"There are currently thirty-nine people living in this apartment, and you are forty-one. All of us were forcibly bound to this apartment and had to live here all the time. ”
Bai Ye was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Restrained, can't you get out?"
The girl smiled wryly and said, "I can't help it, I wanted to leave when I first entered this apartment, but there was really no way." Once our shadow enters this apartment and is given the key, it means that we become the residents of the apartment, and in that way, we cannot escape this apartment. ”
Speaking of this, the girl also had a painful expression on her face.
"Why can't you escape?"
"In the past, there have been people who have been selected as residents. However, I don't want to live in an apartment. Such a person would be killed by his own shadow as soon as he left the apartment. ”
"Really?"
Bai Ye said thoughtfully.
"Didn't you see that your own shadow was manipulated by this apartment to lure you into the apartment. In normal times, the shadow is completely at your own discretion and control, but if you do something that violates the rules, the shadow will manipulate your own body to commit suicide. I've been forced to live in this apartment for two years now, and I've seen a lot of people who have died by suicide because they violated the rules of the apartment and were manipulated by shadows. ”
People, in turn, are manipulated by shadows?
Bai Ye already understood the strangeness of the apartment, but Bai Ye thought that if he wanted to leave, the power of this apartment should not be able to restrain him.
However, before leaving, I decided to observe again.
"Who built this apartment, and why did you choose us as a resident?"
The girl shook her head and said, "I don't know, I've thought about it many times in the past two years, but I can't understand it, I really can't understand it! This apartment itself is incomprehensible! We can't meet the people who built the apartment, and for those who aren't residents, the apartment doesn't exist in this world. ”
"Of course, it doesn't exist anymore, because this is originally a different space, it should be a strange realm in the realm of the other, how can ordinary people in this world see it. ”
Bai Ye said secretly in his heart.
"We can see the outside world, but the outside world can't see us. The girl continued to explain to Hakuya.
The history of the existence of this apartment is said to be difficult to count, and the number of people who have lived in this apartment is quite large. Over the decades, the residents have developed a tacit understanding and experience of what to do and what not to do.
What to do is good for you and what to do against yourself.
Therefore, whenever a new resident moves in, an old resident will come to tell him the details of the precautions. If you don't make it clear, you may break the taboo and die without a place to bury.
After a while, the elevator stopped on the top floor and the elevator doors slowly opened.
The girl led them to a luxurious office in the white night.
Coming out of the office, White Night they had already learned the rules of the apartment from the building manager.
There are two basic rules. And once you become a resident of the apartment, then, these two rules must be followed no matter what.
First, and most basically, you should never leave the apartment for more than forty-eight hours in a row, except in the case of a bloody indication to go out. Once you break this rule, you die.
Second, after becoming a resident, if the blood script appears on the wall of the room where you live, you must absolutely obey the instructions of the blood letter, and if you violate it slightly, you will die.
"What do we do now, do we continue to stay in the apartment, or do we forcibly leave the apartment?"
The young White Emperor, who returned to room 606, asked Bai Ye who was sitting on the sofa.
"Let's see how it goes......"
At this time, on the snow-white wall of the living room, a line of words composed entirely of blood appeared!
"It's ......"
Bai Ye was attracted by the sudden appearance of the blood letters, and carefully read the blood words on the wall.
"You have to duel each other, and the winner can continue to live in the apartment......"
This strange line of blood letters, after they read it in the white night, began to become blurred, and the blood was slowly absorbed by the wall, gradually ...... Gone.
