"Jonni, have you heard that there is a club in our finance department called the Anomalous Investigation Society?"

"Haven't heard of it. What is it? Like the X-Files? ”

"yes, it's a weird club. As a result, he was also criticized by the tutor of the Department of Finance and Economics. The president's name is Dong Xie. ”

"Oh, I've heard of him. The tallest boy in the Department of Finance and Economics, there are very few boys who study finance and economics, and the boys in his class are basically concentrated in his dormitory, right? ”

"yes. I heard that he originally wanted to make a ...... The Crusu Myth Society, but it seems to be too niche to make it. ”

"Cruso...... It's the Cthulhu Mythos. A series of horror literature by the American horror artist Lovecraft, I have read his books. ”

"Then it looks like you'll probably be able to talk about it, I've never heard of such a niche myth before."

"Hmm...... If you have the chance, you can get in touch with it, but there are quite few people who like Lovecraft's books. ”

……

"Well, classmate, is there anyone in this position?"

"Nobody, sit down. You're Dong Xie, right? President of the Anomalous Investigation Society. ”

"It's rare to make Xie Xiaohua remember my name."

"School Flower...... Doesn't count, right? I remember that when I voted for the school flower of the forum last year, I was only ranked third in the Department of Finance and Economics, and I couldn't even count the flowers. ”

"Actually, I have a vote for you."

"Thank you. But don't say it to girls in the future, I heard you have a girlfriend? ”

"No...... Who do you listen to? ”

"Didn't you? I heard that a girl from another school often comes to you, not your girlfriend? ”

"Oh, that's my sister. Not my girlfriend. But the gossip in the school spreads quite quickly. ”

"That's right...... I'm sorry, but they're all only children now, and it's rare to see anyone with a sister. ”

"Actually, my sister is only in her first year of high school...... We're five years old. She was curious about what the college I went to was like, so she came to check it out from time to time. ”

"Oh...... By the way, you've seen the Cthulhu Mythos? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! You know that too? Really, there are really too few people around who have seen Cthulhu. Have you seen them all? ”

"Hmm...... I haven't seen much...... For example, "Mountain of Madness", "Dunwich Terror", "Daredevil", "Call of Cthulhu", I was quite impressed. ”

"Actually, I want to try to write a Cthulhu-themed horror book, and I also want to collect materials and write a more local Cthulhu book when I form a club. Now the Internet is still quite active, and I have loved writing since I was a child...... I've been working on a book called "444 Building" recently, but I'm not sure if I'm good enough to write right now, so I'm not going to do it yet. ”

"Sounds like Wesley? Then you can give it a try. I can take a look at it after I write it out. What website are you planning to write your book on? URL and tell me? ”

……

Xie Ruoni's hand clutched a red apple.

She swore that if she survived this time, she would never eat an apple again.

At this moment, as she slowly descended the stairs, many of her past life experiences automatically flashed in her mind. And the acquaintance with Dong Xie also flashed in his heart.

Thinking about it now, Dong Xie's life was involved in this kind of horror, it was like fate.

The apartment is as evil and insane as the horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos. In Lovecraft's writing, God is a strange creature that has no concept of good or evil, or even has no human characteristics at all, full of chaos, rancidity, and disgust. The existence of human beings, the existence of the earth, is meaningless, and in the vast universe, human life is insignificant, easily killed and cursed by those evil gods in the dark. From that point of view, it's exactly like the hellish apartment.

She thought that she would slow down the pace of going downstairs because of fear, but she did not expect that when she went downstairs, she was unprecedentedly calm. 8090

The impermanence of life is not so easy to accept. But look away, that's what happened.

People are just going to be deprived of their lives for no reason. Whether humanity accepts it or not, the world will continue to work like this.

A lot of chicken soup for the soul on the Internet always say that the most painful thing in life is the choice, but ...... What is really painful is that you don't even have the right to choose. What people can't choose is fate.

At the very least, the Blood Letter mission is not to leave residents without options. There is still hope for them, and as long as they can find a way to survive, they can survive.

She felt ...... The Blood Quest forces the occupants to act according to the procedures of the Haunting Ritual, and is certainly not intended to kill them. If you say...... The evil spirits were summoned by this ritual, so at least for this moment, the apartment would definitely impose enough restrictions.

You don't have to despair!

She walked through each floor, carefully observing every tiniest detail to see if there was anything special that needed attention.

Finally, she made it to the 3rd floor.

I saw the big word "death".

She stood still, looking at the word, and then turned off the phone on the selfie stick for the time being. The ritual process only means that no contact with other people is possible, but there is no ban on taking pictures with mobile phones. Shooting a micro-film is not part of the ritual, so interrupting the shoot is not a problem.

She took several photos of the word from different angles.

"I'm not going to die easily." Xie Ruoni's eyes became more and more determined: "I can't die easily!" ”

Then, she picks up her phone, compares the photo with the font on the wall, and looks back from time to time.

Presently...... I don't see much change.

Then, she turned her phone camera back on.

As she continued to go downstairs, she was also extremely nervous. Next, it is necessary to see if there are any apples missing from the box. If Apple is missing, it will be a disastrous outcome.

When she came to the first floor, her nervousness dissipated a lot.

Because, the answer will soon be revealed.

She quickened her pace, strode to the front of the box, and then she didn't drag the mud and water, just looked down!

Number of apples......

One...... Two...... Three...... Four...... Five......

Six...... Seven......

Eight!

At this moment, Xie Ruoni almost cried!

The number of apples has not decreased!

This means that the evil spirit has not yet come out! Otherwise, one of the apples in the box will be taken.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and then put the apple in her hand into the box. Then, walk to the elevator and press the elevator button.

The elevator door slowly opened, and she strode into the elevator, then turned around, looked at the box at the elevator door, and quickly pressed the close button.

It's the end of the day...... Next......

The elevator door closed slowly, but only as soon as the door closed to a gap about the width of a fist......

Xie Ruoni clearly saw through this gap that a hand suddenly stretched out from the right side, and quickly took out an apple from the inside of the box!

Then, the elevator doors close and the elevator ...... Start to rise slowly!
