Chapter 17: The Unknown Terror of the Scarlet Letter
Just now I hit my head on the wall, and the wound on my head was very large. Li Yin finally stopped the bleeding and put gauze on it.
At this moment, the sharp pain in the head still kept coming.
Li Yin knew that he was not able to fight with Murong Mirage at present. Otherwise, this pervert will not do anything irrational at the last moment, such as shouting: "The letter just sent is all forged!" You come out and kill them! β
And now that he is injured, he may not be able to kill Murong Mirage. Even if I succeed, I'm afraid I will be hurt even more.
And most importantly...... Li Yin has never killed anyone.
For a person who has never killed anyone, it is very difficult to take the first step towards killing. What's more, Li Yin's real surname is a person who attaches great importance to life.
However, the man Murong Mirage must be killed. He's not a normal person at all, and he's sure to be in the way of the blood indication. The blood word itself is terrifying enough, and it can't be left to live in an apartment.
Li Yin stood up and lay against the wall.
Anyway, that letter ...... Can you fool that male ghost?
He was getting more and more nervous at the moment. What to do?
The clock kept ticking, and it was half past five in the afternoon.
The iron gate in front of Murong Mirage and Feng Yuxian finally moved. With a slight sound, the hand, holding an envelope, stuck out of the window!
Murong Mirage preemptively walked over with Feng Yuxian and took the letter. Then he strode up to the first floor. When I opened the door, I saw Li Yin, who was lying against the wall with gauze on his head, walked over, handed him the letter, and said, "Lou Chief, look." This letter should have something you want to know. β
Li Yin immediately took the letter, couldn't wait to open it, and took out the letter inside.
The letter reads as follows:
"Unfortunately:
I didn't expect you to change your mind so quickly and write me back.
The rumor is nonsense, it's just a malicious rumor of the devil, you don't have to care about it at all.
Also, you said you were going to call him by his own name? Remembering the name of this demon for this? No need. Anyway, for me, the devil is his name. He has no other name than that.
We, just remember the name.
Luckily, you really don't have to care. None of this demon's words are true. He claimed to be able to understand the past, to foresee the future, and to understand the nature of many mysterious phenomena in this world. His parents were too interested in what he said, which also made him even more proud. Later, he even said that he would help our family prophesy. After talking nonsense, he said that the love between the two of us would bring ominous consequences.
This kind of thing is ridiculous.
I, like you, hate this demon to the core. I have already told Li Cheng before, let him check that person, and he must find out. It's just that Li Cheng has not told me the results of the investigation until now. I only know that he is from K City, thirty-seven years old, his wife died, and he lives with a daughter. Other than that, he doesn't even know what his job is and what his friends are.
In any case, Li Cheng will definitely help us find out. Definitely! Don't think about it, okay?
Love you Lyon"
The letter does not mention the name of the "demon". However, other information is also given, the demon is from K-City, thirty-seven years old, and is a widower.
However, relying on these clues alone to find that person is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Li Yin felt that if he could go back to the apartment alive, he would first investigate whether the father of the female resident was a widower.
No, if you think about it, you can investigate it now.
Li Yin took out his mobile phone and called a resident. The man's name was Pei Qingyi, a new resident who had entered last month, living in room 502, where the deceased Tang Wenshan had previously lived.
Pei Qingyi was originally an executive assistant to the management of a large company, and she is a very shrewd female surname in the workplace, and she showed some management intelligence after entering the apartment, which solved a lot of troublesome things that will arise when new residents join. Li Yin now arranges her as his assistant, and her identity is equivalent to the deputy head of the apartment. The list of households, blood counts, and monthly meetings are all in charge of Pei Qingyi.
The phone rang only twice, and Pei Qingyi answered the phone.
"Hey, Captain, what's your order?"
Hearing her shrewd and capable tone, Li Yin said: "There is something I want to trouble you, investigate the information of the parents of female residents over the age of twenty in the apartment. In particular, his father is from the city, and is over fifty-seven years old, has been a widower (considering the possibility of remarriage) or is still a widower, and has been a painter. Those who meet any of the above conditions will be screened out and sent to me a detailed list. β
"I know, I'll do it right away."
After talking to Pei Qingyi, she hung up the phone.
Li Yin appreciates Pei Qingyi's ability very much, so he is also very relieved of her work ability. When the A4 paper was placed in the lobby on the ground floor of the apartment, Pei Qingyi had not yet entered the apartment, and Li Yin thought that she could basically be excluded. Moreover, her parents also seem to be alive and well, and they are not from the city.
It would be nice to be able to find clues from this.
"Murong Mirage." Li Yin looked at the perverted forensic doctor in front of him and said, "No matter what, you also want to successfully execute the blood character, and you don't want to play this game and fail, right?" Next, I hope you don't take it too seriously. May I? β
Murong Mir replied very calmly: "Yes, Lou Chang, I don't think I'm making my own opinions, but the letter was written by you, not me." However, Mr. Lou, the game is just about excitement to be fun. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring. You say, it's just to help the ghost deliver the letter, and the ghost doesn't come out, isn't that too boring......"
If Li Yin had a knife in his hand at the moment, he would definitely rush up and slaughter this pervert without hesitation!
He really regretted that he didn't bring a knife to execute the blood word this time.
Li Yin changed his mind. In this bloody instruction, Murong Mirage will be killed! This man doesn't die, all of them will be dragged into the water by him!
"Murong ...... Don't you care? Even if you are killed by a ghost, you don't care? Li Yin added, could it be that this pervert is really not afraid of death?
"Well, you mean ......"
"This apartment will arrange for you to have ten blood words, and if you die the first time, you won't be able to enjoy the remaining nine blood words in the future, right? There will be more fun in the future, please, at least for now......"
"That's right." Murong Mi had an expression that seemed to be enlightened: "Yes, there are nine more times, and I am indeed a little anxious." Yes, take your time, more fun is yet to come. Ah, what a nasty, why is there only ten blood letters? If only a little more. β
Li Yin couldn't find any words to describe this pervert. What's in this perverted brain? His thinking was far beyond the limits of what Li Yin could understand.
For the first time since entering this apartment, Li Yin hated a person more than a ghost! And hopefully the ghost will kill him!
At this moment, Murong Mirage's mobile phone suddenly vibrate. He immediately took out his mobile phone and opened it to see that it was an MMS message sent by Deep Rain!
"Huh?" Murong Mirage frowned.
Actually sent it?
However, he did not hesitate to read this MMS message and deleted it directly. Subsequently, several more MMS messages were sent. However, he came one and deleted one.
"Who is it?" Li Yin asked.
"Nothing." Murong Mirage put the phone back in his pocket and said, "It's just a spam text message." β
The MMS messages sent by Shen Yu to Murong Mir were all deleted by him, and none of them remained!
If Li Yin knew what Murong Mirage had deleted just now, he would definitely have the urge to die with this man immediately!
That's a life-saving prophetic picture that many residents will not hesitate to kill in exchange!
"Alright." Li Yin said: "This letter, except for the first line, just copy it and send it over." I hope that the next reply will have some more valuable content. β
The letter mentions that Leon asks Lecheng to investigate the man's affairs. However, judging from the content of the letter, Leon had committed suicide before the news of Lyon came back.
Did Li Cheng find any clues? Li Yin decided that when the time comes, he must find out where this Li Cheng lives now, no matter how long it will take, he must find out!
The letter was sent at 5:30 a.m. This means that the reply must be sent to the basement by 8:30 p.m.
Li Yin found that throughout the day today, in the process of delivering letters, the ghost did not appear in the most terrible situation of not writing a reply for more than three hours. Hopefully, this situation will continue forever.
After delivering the letter to the Moonshadow Pavilion, he read the letter in the middle of the night and obtained further information related to the demon.
The first line of the letter was deleted, one was forged, and the letter was sent into the basement in the middle of the night.
At half-past six, the people in the annexes on both sides began to eat. At noon, he ate almost nothing, for fear that the ghost would come out because he found out that it was a forged letter. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Yin sat on the steps of the stairs in the basement, holding the food he had conjured up in his own room in the apartmentβa beef burger and a glass of milk. For Li Yin, this can be regarded as a dinner.
I have to say that the food in the apartment was extremely tasty. After eating the meat in this burger, it really has a lot of aftertaste.
However, Li Yin didn't have the heart to enjoy the food at all now. After eating the burger in a hurry, he began to think about how to get the demon's name again.
The Pavilion has been completely searched, but no trace can be found. Therefore, it is no longer possible to obtain information by means other than letters.
Li Yin carefully analyzed it and believed that that the demon was probably not nonsense. That is to say, the ominous is real, and he does have the ability to foresee. And the fact that the parents of both sides are so strongly opposed to the marriage of the two shows that this ominous degree is terrifying. Moreover, they are all convinced that it is true.
And Li Yin judged that it was probably the demon who showed his prophetic ability in front of both parents, but this ability was not shown to Li Yue and Li Cheng, so they didn't understand. The average person does think that this is a ridiculous reason.
Come to think of it, because this demon caused the two to commit suicide, and then, this became the blood letter instructions issued by the apartment more than twenty years later. What is the connection between the demon and the apartment? Why did it take more than 20 years to release this blood letter?
Could it be that the demon was a resident of the apartment at the time? No, no, is it still out with his daughter to execute the blood letter? What's more, just one person to execute the blood word? Unless his daughter is also a resident?
What is the purpose of releasing the blood letter after twenty years? The apartment will definitely not be less than twenty years old. Li Yin believes that this is so that they do not have more information. Because more than 20 years have passed, it is very difficult to check a lot of information.
However, it can also be conversely assumed that among the information they can't find, there is a way out of the apartment!
Most likely, it needs to be found out in the letter.
And could that be the identity of the demon? If you can find out the identity of the demon, you will be able to survive this bloodline? Or is there some way to end the correspondence between the two? Or were they actually killed instead of committing suicide?
Maybe there are too many surnames.
After drinking the milk in his hand, Li Yin wiped his mouth and looked at the iron door of the basement in front of him.
Where, exactly, is the life of the apartment? What can be done to end the correspondence between the two men?
In the process of forging a reply, which link will cause a fatal omission?
In fact, if you expand your thinking further, there is another possibility.
Li Yin is still suspicious until now, the two ghosts in the basement may not be Wei Xing and Leon. Even if he called the other party like that in the letter, Li Yin was not completely relieved. The deception he received at the beginning of Youshui Village was too impressive to him, so he didn't dare to judge easily. After all, in the blood letter instructions of the apartment, it was not said at all that these two ghosts were Zeng Weixing and Ren Leon.
Even if he waited until tomorrow, a man and a woman suddenly came and said to him, "Our name is Ren Leon, and he will not be surprised." Who knows if it was a fake death like Li Bing in Youshui Village, or that what was reported at the beginning was actually fake news or something.
At the end of the day, ghosts are simply not to be trusted. Although the letter is about two lovers who love each other to death, it is hard to guarantee that it will not be a deceptive surname text deliberately written in order to play with them, but in fact two evil ghosts who are waiting to claim their surnames at any time?
In other words, these two ghosts are probably two ghosts that appeared out of thin air! Perhaps, a trigger that exists in the reply will make them doomed!
Li Yin knew very well that although everything seemed to be going well so far, this was only a superficial phenomenon. In fact, it is quite possible that they are constantly moving towards a desperate situation.
This bloody indication is absolutely terrifying. It can even be said to be the most difficult blood word indication that Li Yin has experienced.
Compared with this kind of blood word that seems to be safe as long as you send a letter, the kind of blood word that is obviously in danger and ghosts will appear from all directions at any time, but it makes Li Yin feel better. Because, he can't even know where the danger of the apartment arrangement is, and he can't even understand where the real horror of this blood word is.
And this in itself is more terrifying than anything else.
In any case, we have to find a way as soon as possible!
Li Yin made up his mind to find a way to survive before the terrifying trap arranged by the apartment was triggered!
