Chapter 1: The Strange Apartment
Li Yin opened his eyes suddenly.
His heart was burning like a fire at the moment.
Again...... Is it coming?
This time, is it my turn?
Li Yin sat up and turned on the lamp at the head of the bed. At this moment, the severe pain in the heart finally recovered a little.
He got out of bed, put on his slippers, and walked out of the bedroom to the living room outside, and turned on the light.
He saw the thing.
On the snow-white wall of the living room, at this moment, a line of words composed entirely of blood appeared! This extremely strange scene, if ordinary people see it at this midnight hour, they will be frightened.
But Li Yin didn't react.
"It's my turn again......"
He looked at the line carefully.
"From June 7 to July 7, 2010, I went to Youshui Village on the outskirts of X City and lived there for a month."
This strange line of blood characters, after Li Yin finished reading it, suddenly began to become blurred, and the blood actually began to ...... as if it was absorbed by the wall Gone.
Youshui Village......
Li Yin remembered the name.
I wanted to go back to sleep, but I couldn't fall asleep anymore. He also turned on the light in the living room, made a cup of tea, and drank it. He doesn't have a habit of smoking, so he can only drink tea. Although coffee may be more effective, Li Yin always feels that when he tastes the aroma of tea, his mood is easy to calm down.
Looking at his face reflected in the tea, Li Yin clenched the teacup.
Moved into this apartment to live in, has ...... It's been almost a year.
Although a year doesn't seem to be a long time, Li Yin feels as if he has spent countless years.
Second, when the morning sun was rising, Li Yin, who was lying in front of the living room dining table, woke up.
He only wore a thin pajamas and a blanket, so he slept like this, and he didn't know if he would catch a cold.
The teacup in front of the table, the rest of the tea has also been completely cooled.
He looked at the wall clock in the living room, and it was already ...... It's six o'clock in the morning.
Li Yin rubbed his eyes, immediately went to wash, dressed neatly, and then, he made himself a breakfast, fried an egg, and then added the egg to the sliced bread he bought yesterday and sandwiched it, and spread a little salad dressing, even if it was today's breakfast.
Li Yin is actually very proficient in cooking, mainly living alone for a long time, so he must learn cooking, and after a long time, he actually cooks good dishes.
Biting the homemade sandwich in his mouth, and then taking out the milk in the microwave, Li Yin opened the calendar and calculated the arrangements for the next month, that is, June.
He is an online novelist, and he is also very famous on the Internet, and he has signed a contract with a station, so he only needs to concentrate on coding words at home and collect manuscript fees.
"No big problem." He bit the sandwich in his mouth and said, "Just bring your laptop and update the novel on time in June." Well...... I just don't know what will happen then. ”
Then, he put down his calendar, chewed on the bread and fried egg in his mouth, and clenched his fists.
Definitely to live...... Come back here alive!
When he was dressed, he walked out of the room, but it was not locked at all.
He lives in room 404 on the fourth floor. Quite an unlucky room number, but this was not chosen by Li Yin.
Came to the first floor of the apartment. There are no residents on the first floor, but it is a huge auditorium like a hotel. Sofas, tables and chairs are placed throughout the auditorium for people to rest.
And on one of the sofas, three people sit.
The three people, when they saw Li Yin walking towards this side, all stood up one after another.
They were a tall young man in a suit with glasses, a handsome young man with a hat, and a young girl in a green dress with a very cute and pretty face.
"You ...... You have that line of blood on your walls, right? Li Yin pondered for a moment and asked.
All three nodded in unison.
They are also residents of this apartment.
"I see, then at least this time there are four people to keep you company." Li Yin breathed a sigh of relief and sat down together.
The expressions of the four people were very solemn.
"Li Yin......" The pretty girl in green said with a very worried face, "Really...... Are you okay? This time, you want us to stay for a month? And in a suburban village far from the city? ”
"Yes," the bespectacled young man in a suit also said: "I have checked the map, the suburbs of X City are backed by mountains, very desolate and remote, and there is no connection to any hope projects there, it is completely a backward mountain village." ”
"There are more rural areas in China." Li Yin was very calm: "There are definitely not a few poor and backward villages that are completely out of touch with the city like that. Don't think too much about it, anyway, it's not the first time. ”
"But...... I'm still ......" The bespectacled young man in the suit wanted to say something more, but the young man in the hat stopped him.
The atmosphere fell silent again.
After a long time, no one appeared again, and it is estimated that this time the four of them were the only ones who had blood on the walls of the house.
"It's almost seven o'clock." Li Yin looked at his watch and said, "You three go to work first, I'll continue to wait here, and if there are new members, I'll call you again." ”
Li Yin's composure and wisdom have always made several of them feel at ease, so the three of them also got up one after another and left the apartment.
Just now, Li Yin had used his mobile phone to surf the Internet, but he had never found out the place of Youshui Village. But since it was said that it was on the outskirts of X City, it would always be found.
If these clues alone can't be found, the bloody words will indicate a more exact address.
And on June 7, they had to enter Youshui Village. And before the 7th of July, you must not leave there.
Absolutely not......
Time flies, and soon, it is June 6.
At the moment, it is 2:30 p.m.
On the steep mountain road, Li Yin, along with the three of them, walked forward step by step.
This mountain is called Heiwu Mountain, and the Youshui Village, after repeated verification, is confirmed to be on the west side of this mountain. The village is almost isolated from the outside world, living a self-sufficient life, and there is no water or electricity, which can be said to be quite poor.
The young man in the suit with glasses, named Qin Shoutian, is a tabloid reporter, and he is not too tired because he often runs the news outside. But the other two, the young man with the hat, Luo Hengyan, and the pretty girl Ye Kexin in the green dress, are ordinary white-collar workers sitting in the office in ordinary days, and they have walked several kilometers of mountain roads, and their shoes are worn out, and they all feel extremely tired. However, no one dares to rest. You must reach Youshui Village as soon as possible before dark.
Li Yin, who was holding a compass and a map in his hand, didn't look very tired.
Li ...... Li Yin," Luo Hengyan asked breathlessly: "Also, how long will it take to arrive, I, my leg is about to break......"
"If you want to stop, just stop," Li Yin looked at the compass and said without even looking back: "As long as you are not afraid of death, I don't care if I leave you." ”
"How...... How could it be! Luo Hengyan knows Li Yin's surname very well, no...... Actually, everyone is like that.
People who live in that apartment end up being indifferent to the lives of others. Luo Hengyan lived in that apartment, and it was only half a year.
Walking through another hill, Li Yin perked up, looked at the foot of the mountain, and said, "Look! It's here! ”
It was a big village. Although it looks dilapidated, the houses are not as shabby as expected, and at a glance, there are hundreds of buildings on the spacious land, including two-story buildings, and rows of rice fields planted between the buildings, and many people can be seen working hard.
At this point, it's not much of a problem.
Next, all four of them rushed down the mountain excitedly.
If you enter Yusui Village...... Then it is equivalent to completing the instructions of the blood letter.
No one can disobey the command of the blood letter.
Walking to the foot of the mountain, Li Yin suddenly noticed that a beautiful peasant girl carrying two buckets of water passed by, so he immediately stopped her.
"This girl ......" Li Yin stepped forward and asked, "Here...... It's a water village, right? ”
The peasant girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with big eyes, and very charming.
"Yes, that's right. You ......" The peasant girl looked at Li Yin and asked puzzledly, "Excuse me...... You are ......"
"We came from K City, walked a long mountain road, and wanted to rest in the village."
The girl immediately said excitedly: "It's really rare, there will be people from the city." My name is Ah Xiu, come with me, I'll take you to Uncle Wang's restaurant, Uncle Wang's somen noodles taste really good, they are all made with well water. ”
Well...... Is there really no running water in this village?
Also, when I looked at it just now, I really didn't find a telephone pole. It seems that this village is really backward.
The peasant girl named Ah Xiu was also very enthusiastic, and Li Yin and the others followed her.
At this time, Li Yin's gaze inadvertently moved to a bucket behind Ah Xiu. The water in that bucket looked so clear that I don't know if it was from a well or a stream.
But...... Li Yin's body shook like an electric shock at this moment!
At the bottom of the bucket, there was an incomparably white woman's face with no pupils!
This face appears so abruptly that people can't even react to it!
Li Yin instantly took several steps back, his heart beating wildly. Then he walked over to the bucket...... It's still just an ordinary bucket of water, and there's nothing out of the ordinary.
However, Li Yin knew very well that what he saw just now was by no means dazzling.
"Ah...... Miss Ah Xiu ......" Li Yin forcibly restrained the fear in her heart and said, "I, we still won't trouble you." You are also quite busy with a bucket. ”
Immediately, without waiting for Ah Xiu to respond, he quickly turned his head, strode towards the three companions, and gave them a look.
The three of them immediately understood, and hurriedly followed Li Yin and left Ah Xiu. Ah Xiu stayed where he was, not understanding what had offended them.
Walking around the village, their fresh faces attracted the attention of many people. The people in the village looked at them suspiciously, this Black Black Mountain is not a scenic spot, how can there be tourists coming?
Ye Kexin asked Li Yin in a low voice: "Li ...... Mr. Li Yin, just ...... You've already, see, 'that thing'? ”
Li Yin was silent, just nodding in reply.
Although I knew that it would be absolutely impossible to spend a month safely and soundly when I entered Youshui Village, I didn't expect that when I first stepped into this village, it was still in broad daylight, and I ......
Li Yin looked at the sky above him, and only felt that the sun seemed to be gradually obscured by the clouds.
This time...... How many of the four of them can live until July 7 and return to that apartment in K City?
It's been a year...... Li Yin has experienced this kind of thing many times.
Several times, he almost died.
Almost died at the hands of "those things".
No one knows where "those things" came from and why they appeared, but they are everywhere and can kill you anywhere, at any time.
And in this world, the only place where you can avoid "those things" is in that apartment in K. Only there, they can absolutely guarantee safety.
This is the rule that you can't break when you become a resident of that apartment.
