Chapter 44: The Mystery of the Apartment
December 5th.
"Happy birthday to you, Ah Ning!"
Dong Xie had booked the restaurant and cake a month ago, although he didn't expect a huge change to happen, but he felt that at this critical time, it was still very meaningful to celebrate A Ning's birthday.
"It's not...... Right? ”
Dong Ning herself forgot her birthday, not to mention the recent situation, she has been running for survival, but she never thought that her brother would still remember her birthday. Today, my brother took her out to dinner, but she didn't think about it so much, she couldn't think of it......
The cake was brought up by the clerk, and a candle had been inserted on it.
"Make a wish!"
Dong Xie smiled and said, "You don't have to say it."
The cake is Ah Ning's favorite tiramisu, since he was very young, Dong Xie has always wondered why her sister, who loves sweets, can never eat fat, and her favorite sweets are remembered very well.
"Hmm!"
Ah Ning looked at the cake in front of her and the candle on it, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart. This year's birthday is so special, if I didn't have my brother, maybe I would have died in that building a long time ago.
"Brother...... From now on, we'll celebrate our birthdays like this every year! I have no other wishes! ”
Dong Xie nodded. The road ahead is still full of countless dangers, but fortunately, he is not alone on this road!
"Brother......" After Ah Ning blew out the candle, his face became solemn: "I want to talk to you about ......"
"Things related to the apartment, I don't want to talk about it for the time being."
"That's the most important thing we have right now."
Dong Xie looked at Dong Ning's solemn expression, nodded, and said, "Let's talk about it after eating the cake, okay?" Isn't it your motto to not think about worries when you taste sweets? ”
Dong Ning suddenly smiled: "Well, even if tomorrow is the end of the world, I have to eat a lot of sweets!"
"But...... A Ning, today is a special case. I've already purchased members and trainers at the most expensive fitness club in the city, and then we'll do a full range of physical training and learn simple fighting and self-defense. Body fat percentage must be well controlled. In the future, we may encounter a variety of situations in the Scarlet Mission. ”
"Well, I know. Speaking of combat training, brother, you may really need to practice. No one knows if they will meet a scum like Gucci in the future. ”
"People are sometimes more terrifying than evil spirits."
After eating the cake, Dong Ning took out her mobile phone and showed Dong Xie her Tmall shopping cart, she planned to buy some useful utensils for survival, including but not limited to a compass, walkie-talkie, windproof lighter, Nanfu battery, light stick, saber, weathercoat, hiking boots, sleeping bag...... After the blood word may go to various environments, she must be well prepared.
"What do you think?"
"It's very complete......"
"Right? Now we are not short of money, of course, we have to buy everything. Look at what's missing? If not, I'll place an order. Of course, the delivery address can't be an apartment, just let the courier put it in the express locker in the community where we originally lived. ”
"I don't seem to be able to fit some things in the locker...... Looks like I'm going to have to go back and pick up the delivery...... Well, how can there be cosmetics?"
"Well, I went to Taobao last night and happened to see Li Jiaqi and Wei Ya's live broadcast...... Even in this situation, I can't do without cosmetics! It's not bad for money anyway......"
“……”
"Brother, in fact, the windbreaker on Double 11 this year is really good, I originally added it to the shopping cart, but at that time you insisted that you didn't need it, there are still discounts for Christmas, why don't you buy it together?"
Ah Ning is really still Ah Ning. Dong Xie is very pleased, optimistic and open-minded, and it is one of her greatest advantages that she will not be easily beaten.
"Cosmetics...... Feel free to do so. ”
Then...... They started getting down to business.
"Yesterday I tried to do a live stream inside the apartment." Dong Ning's expression also became serious at this time: "Sure enough...... The barrage means that you can't see any picture at all. I can't upload the photos and videos I took in the apartment, and they will be automatically deleted as soon as they are uploaded to the cloud drive. Later I tried outdoor live streaming, but I was afraid that someone would see the outside of the apartment and find this, in case...... It's troublesome. ”
"Hmm...... Sure enough, it was the same as what Mo Yuan said. ”
"I looked at the satellite panorama of Baidu Maps, overlooking the neighborhood where the apartment is located, and the location of the apartment shows that behind the alley that enters the apartment is a dead end. The wall that encloses the apartment is supposed to be a fully enclosed wall structure. I tried to climb out of the wall facing the apartment, and on the other side of the wall I couldn't see the apartment at all. ”
"Hmm...... It feels the same as the nine and three-quarters platform. Damn, it's not as good as Harry Potter going to a Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. If...... What about destroying walls? ”
"I asked Mo Yuan. This apartment complex is very strange, there have been demolitions in the old town around here, but this neighborhood has never been included in the scope of demolition. As for the wall, Mo Yuan tried it before, if it is destroyed on one side of the apartment, it will quickly and automatically recover, and if it is destroyed on the other side, you can only see the alley on one side of the damaged wall. And, the same will automatically recover quickly. ”
"Speaking of which, the community itself has very few residents......
"I checked this area, it was still farmland in the 90s, and this community was all old husband's houses that were later rebuilt. I don't know how people got into apartments in the nineties. Judging from the blood records, the group of residents 8 years ago has been determined to verify that the apartment already existed in the sixties of the last century. ”
Speaking of which, all the residents in the apartment are from people outside the community. There are only a handful of residents living in this complex. None of them seem to approach the alley, and yesterday I stopped one of the people in the neighborhood to ask, and the other person didn't seem to know what was going on. The apartment seems to have been absorbing only residents from outside this apartment complex. ”
The mystery of the apartment, too many. There is no property in this apartment complex itself, there is not even a security guard at the door, and some of the normal apartments in it are even abandoned buildings with no people. Many residents have tried to expose the information of the apartment on the Internet, but they have failed, and only some photos of evil spirits near the apartment have survived, which are the ones Dong Xie found on the TY forum.
"I'm trying to say that's not all."
Dong Ning then continued: "At yesterday's meeting, about the question you asked. When mentioning the 'fall into hell' in the Blood Word Quest, I felt that Mo Yuan's expression was unnatural. ”
Dong Xie was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes...... Is it? ”
"Absolutely!"
Dong Xie must admit that in terms of carefulness and observation, he is definitely inferior to A Ning.
"You mean to say...... Mo Yuan has something to hide from us?"
