Chapter 1: Masks
For the apartment residents, this terrible day is still passing day by day.
The fall of the Big Three can be said to be a great despair for anyone. But the days have to go on.
And at this time, a very shocking thing happened in the apartment.
That's the amazing performance of the new resident, Natsukasa.
Originally, everyone's perception of Xia Li was that he was a resident who entered the apartment from that desert island with Dong Xie.
Edward, who was on a mission with the Blood Letter, concealed his identity from the general public. After many temptations by him and Mu Ziyi, the possibility that he was Fang Han's spy had been basically ruled out. In any case, through Edward, Dong Xie obtained a lot of information about Fang Han. The most important thing is that he finally saw the photo of Fang Han himself.
The reason why this bloody letter mission caused a shock was ......
"Natsukasa, how are you doing now?"
An hour after the start of the Blood Word Mission, Dong Xie received a call from Xia Li.
He thought that Natsuka had come to report new discoveries to him and ask for advice. Unexpectedly, Xia Li told him directly: "I have found a way to live, this is a typical counter-way to life." Evil spirits can't hurt us anymore. ”
At that time, Dong Xie thought that he had heard it wrong. This six-hour bloody task was completed in just one hour!
This kind of thing has only been done by Fang Han before!
When Natsuka returned that day, the occupants almost broke the threshold of his door. As a result, the saying of the "new triumvirate" began to spread, Dong Xie, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Li replaced the old triumvirate Mo Yuan, Qin Ziyuan, and Nie Han.
A new pattern of apartments was formed.
In the second half of 2020, the epidemic was still raging around the world. When winter arrives, the number of infected and dead people climbs in the daily news. And in the apartment, everyone is also facing a new despair.
More than two months have passed like this.
During this time, Xia Li, Lian Zixin, Guo Wenxuan and others also passed a few blood words one after another. And Xia Li, like Mo Yuan, did not refuse the new residents' requests for help. However, unlike Mo Yuan's enthusiasm to help others, Xia Li's efforts to help residents solve their lives were to challenge their logical derivation ability.
After the mother purple clothes changed from a wax figure back to a living person, she never ushered in a new blood letter mission. During this time, she lived in seclusion, and she was rarely seen on weekdays.
Time flies, December ...... And so it came.
2020 is coming to an end.
"Hoo ......"
Dong Xie woke up that day and suddenly felt very cold.
"Looks like it's time for this quilt to be thicker."
After all, he has never lived a single life alone, and some trivial matters in Pingsu's family are all handled by Ah Ning.
After Dong Xie got up, he took a piece of convenience paper, wrote the word "heater", pasted it on a cabinet, and then took out a heater.
In the wardrobe, although all of them had been changed into winter clothes, Dong Xie still took out a handy paper and pasted it, and took out a few warmer ski shirts.
When he walked into the bathroom to wash, Dong Xie looked in the mirror and found that the temperature had dropped recently, his skin had dried out a lot, and his eyes and cheeks had begun to peel.
Dong Xie looked at the skin care lotion that Ah Ning used before on the shelf. She chose to buy cosmetics through online live broadcasts, I'm afraid that the little brother who bought them impulsively because he saw that the little brother who brought the goods in the live broadcast was handsome, but now it seems that it is not very easy to use.
More than two months...... He didn't expect that he had gradually begun to get used to the life of Ah Ning's absence.
He had never been so lonely in this apartment as he was now.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Dong Xie quickly walked outside and picked up the mobile phone that had been charging all night.
"Hello?"
Dong Xie was a little puzzled, this was an unfamiliar number. If it's a sales pitch, he just hangs up.
"Hello, Mr. Dong?"
"It's me. If it's a sales shop or a loan or something, I don't need it. ”
"Well, I'm from the Blue Deer Restaurant, and I'm calling to remind you, Mr. Dong, your birthday dinner reservation is four days later."
Dong Xie was stunned for a moment, and then realized......
Today is December 1st!
And four days later, December 5th, it is A Ning's birthday!
At the beginning, he had booked a birthday dinner for Ah Ning at the Blue Deer Restaurant early, but after Ah Ning died, he was so distraught that he had long forgotten about it.
"Well, that...... Can I cancel my reservation? ”
"I'm sorry, sir, but one week's notice is required for cancellations. If you cancel the payment, the deposit is non-refundable. ”
Dong Xie thought for a while and said, "Then let it be up to you." ”
"Well, sir, we will reserve it for you before the 5th. If you are sure to cancel your reservation, please let us know on the 5th. ”
Then, he hung up the phone.
Back in the bathroom, he absentmindedly picked up his razor and began to shave himself. But when I scrape, I feel a pain in my jaw.
"It's time for this blade to be replaced."
Dong Xie said this to himself, and then put the razor on the shelf next to the sink.
Suddenly, he felt ...... A violent heart-burning sensation hit quickly!
"This ......"
Dong Xie realized that his seventh Blood Character mission ...... Here it comes!
He rushed out of the bathroom and looked at the wall outside.
Little by little, blood letters began to pop up on the walls.
Dong Xie watched the blood oozing out little by little, and at the same time took out his mobile phone and was ready to take pictures at any time.
"Once the occupants have all the blood letters displayed, they will be teleported to the location of the mission by the apartment......"
"During the mission, the occupants will wear masks and must never be removed in front of anyone other than the occupants......"
"Residents are not allowed to leave within 10 kilometers of the Black Wall during the mission......"
"Any householder who obtains the Golden Mask is deemed to have completed the Blood Letter. At the same time, residents wearing golden masks will have the ability to close the fourth entrance to the Hell......"
"The fourth entrance to Hell will be opened at the same time as this mission......"
Dong Xie finished reading all the blood letters, but he was stunned.
Right away...... Only......
He's just changed his clothes now, and he's only half-shaved on his beard?
Then, he rushed into the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and realized that his body was starting to become transparent!
The next moment, his consciousness began to fall into a half-asleep state. When you wake up......
He finds himself on an unfamiliar street. At the same time, a thing was put on the face, and only the eyes could be exposed.
Mask!
At the same time, he looked behind him, and there were four people behind him, wearing an identical gray mask!
"You ......" Dong Xie just said it, and then he found that his voice became very strange, and it was not his own voice at all!
One of the four men in the gray mask said, "You are ...... Apartment residents? ”
"Yes, yes!" Dong Xie happily admitted that this was not the werewolf killing blood character that wanted to hide the identity of the residents last time, the blood character only forbade taking off the mask in front of people other than the household, in other words, in front of the household, or when no one was around, the mask could be taken off.
But now, after all, he couldn't be sure whether the other party was a real resident, Dong Xie didn't dare to take off his mask rashly, and first said: "I'm Dong Xie, who are you?" ”
"I'm the mother of Ziyi." At this time, a masked man standing on Dong Xie's right said, "If you need evidence, you can ask me any questions. ”
"I say, you guys!"
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the street entrance.
Everyone turned their heads to look over, and then they saw a man wearing a black mask, and said to them, "Give me Gulai!" ”
Dong Xie looked vigilantly at the man wearing the pitch-black mask and asked, "Are you?" ”
The other party didn't speak any kind of language that Dong Xie understood, but the strange thing was that Dong Xie could understand it!
"What I am, you are!" The man in the black mask said: "You few people wearing gray masks, dare to contradict me with a black mask, don't you want to live?" Come out of here! ”
Hearing this, Dong Xie only felt a shock in his heart.
He looked behind him again, and he was not sure if there were evil spirits mixed with the residents among these four people.
Finally, Dong Xie and the other four people walked towards the black-masked man.
When he came to the entrance of the street, Dong Xie looked outside, it seemed to be a very ordinary town, but the signs of the shops around him were all words that he couldn't understand.
The man in the black mask pointed to a nearby truck and said, "Listen, you guys help me move the goods inside the truck to my shop!" What are you doing in a daze? Move! ”
