Chapter 7: Xia Yuan's Past

In the dark staff canteen, it is still lonely.

"It's even better that way."

With more coverings, such as tables and chairs, the likelihood of being found is further reduced when the body is covered. At first, no one thought that ghosts were incapable of perceiving directions, but now it seems that this possibility is increasing.

The three of them didn't even talk to each other, for fear that the sound would attract the ghost.

Time passes quickly, minute by minute.

Midnight turned his head and looked at Jindeli and Shen Ziling behind him, and the nervous expressions of the two of them at the moment had relaxed to a great extent. However, there is no way out, and it is still very difficult to escape.

At this moment, suddenly Shen Ziling said something in a low voice.

"Midnight...... That wedding dress, can you tell which dynasty it belongs to? There are also different types of wedding dresses for brides in ancient times. ”

Before that, they had collected a lot of information on the Internet for their immediate needs. However, the information on the Internet is not trustworthy, but it is not easy to find such professional books for a while.

Midnight was about to speak, but Kindley whispered, "What do you mean?" What dynasties are important? ”

"Well, if you combine it with the customs related to ancient wedding dresses, you may be able to understand the life of blood characters." Shen Ziling continued: "If you want to know more about it......"

"Wouldn't it be ...... if you said that," Kindley pondered for a while, and said, "It has something to do with the funeral?" ”

"Funeral?"

"Well," Kindley continued, "you know, in the slave society, the institution of burial was very prevalent. After the emperor's death, some of the concubines would be buried together. Does it have anything to do with this wedding dress? ”

Although there is a lot of nonsense, a common idea is focused on "antiquity".

At this time in the middle of the night, I always pay attention to my surroundings, especially the ceiling. Through the gap in the table in front of her, she also watched intently, and she would react immediately to any disturbance.

The ghost can't perceive it, is it because it's in the flesh of Min, a human?

That is, mentally and Min are exactly the same? Is it just a ghost who is "physically" detached from the physical surname, but still mentally follows the physical surname?

In the blood character, physical phenomena that can be understood locally often constitute the key elements of the life path.

Assuming this, Min's memories should be readable as well. That is, it is entirely possible to call the mobile phones of all of them. However, at this moment, the mobile phone is set to vibrate, and it is impossible to judge the direction by the ringtone.

And if Min's memory can be read, then it is natural to judge that the contract fragment is on his body.

This is naturally fatal, that is, the ghost will choose to kill himself with the contract fragment first. If this is the case, you can only discard the fragments in order to protect yourself, just like the Ningfeng community last time. Li Yin's "instructions" on the other end of the phone at that time, she naturally heard it.

However, the Hell Contract is a great shortcut to successfully leaving the apartment. Midnight wouldn't have chosen to do that unless it was absolutely necessary. It's just that this "last resort" situation is too easy to happen.

In the face of ghosts that are beyond the common sense of human physics, there is nothing to be done at all. No physical attack can kill a ghost, and that's when it's most desperate.

In addition to the "way of life" of the apartment, only this fragment of the hell contract can bring hope to himself and Li Yinxin.

That one said...... In that restaurant, Li Yin told himself earnestly that he must obtain a contract with hell. At that time, there was some determination and pain in his voice.

Midnight was able to read his pain.

Li Yin knows very well that in order to do this, he will not only face the threat brought by more blood characters, but also turn against those residents who used to share life and death. Xia Yuan is dead, Ye Kexin is dead, Tang Lanxuan is dead, and Yang Lin is dead......

Perhaps, Li Yin will use his hands in the future to kill the people he cherished in the past.

At that time, although he couldn't see it, he knew in midnight that Li Yin's heart was sobbing. How he wanted to protect himself and other residents, hoping to save more people. He seems to have an extraordinary obsession with it. And this attachment was completely shaken by the temptation brought by the hell contract.

Compared with the lives of others, he chose the former.

That's why he can say the kind of thing that will "kill" the occupants. Midnight knew very well that Li Yin was not the kind of person who could casually say the word "kill" for granted.

It's not so much that he's giving the residents a prestige, it's better to say ...... Li Yin is forcibly tearing apart the only remaining conscience and surname in his heart. In order to survive, he had to do that.

However, he attached so much importance to his own life, but he still knocked his thumb and sent this signal to himself-

In order to survive, Li Yin, who could tear even his own surname apart, chose Midnight without hesitation for the sake of Midnight's life. If he doesn't, Midnight forcibly saves the fragment of the contract, and maybe it can fall into the hands of another householder. Although the surname may be small, if the fragment is given to the ghost again, the possible surname of the person who gets it back is almost zero.

In Li Yin's heart, midnight was much more important than himself and all the other residents.

She reached for the pocket on her chest again.

I'll bring the contract fragments back.

She didn't want to see Li Yin's painful appearance anymore.

Because, for midnight, Li Yin is also the most important. More important than anyone else.

At this time, in the middle of the night, I suddenly felt that my hands were wet. She immediately put her hand in front of her eyes and saw that although it was very dark, it was a strong bloody breath that came to her nose!

Midnight immediately touched his chest and the ground, and at this time, he found that blood was constantly oozing from behind him!

She immediately looked back and saw that Shen Ziling and Jindeli were still sitting well.

Midnight immediately went to push Shen Ziling and said, "Shen ......"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Ziling's body fell heavily to the ground, and when he looked closely, a hole the size of a bowl appeared in his chest!

He's dead!

And so silently, behind their backs!

"Ahh

As she ran, she kept hearing a strong crash coming from under the nearby tables. Out of the corner of his eye, he squinted slightly, and under the table, a red shadow flew through!

She and Kindley ran out of the cafeteria as fast as they could, both of them running so fast that they didn't dare to stop!

Midnight felt cold sweat on my back at this moment......

This ghost of Min Chang is far more terrifying than you can imagine! There was no movement at all, and Shen Ziling was killed in an instant! In other words, just now, that ghost could also send himself into the underworld like this!

"Split up!" Midnight said to Kindley, "If you run together, you will die sooner or later!" ”

There is no other choice!

Only temporarily separated!

After saying that, without waiting for Kindley to agree or disagree, Midnight ran in another direction completely different from him!

This can be said to be a choice between two or the way to gamble. Midnight also knew very well that the ghost was likely to choose himself first. But at the moment, she couldn't think of a better way to increase her chances of survival.

Along a factory building in front of her, she found herself getting closer and closer to an exit from the factory. According to the memory of the location of the various factories in the factory, midnight bent into another road, more brisk, but ......

That intense palpitation began to strike!

Abandon the Hell Pact Shards?

Give up?

Giving up the fragments may mean giving up the future of yourself and Li Yin!

Midnight's hand kept clutching at her clothes, and she couldn't make up her mind to throw away the pieces.

Dr. Tang's death, she saw it very clearly. The demons in people's hearts will be indicated by the blood characters of the demon king level, and they will become omnipresent nightmares, that is, pure idealistic phenomena. There is no escape, and there is no way to survive. Only the Hell Contract can fight against the Demon King-level Blood Word Instructions!

At this time, midnight walked through an open area.

Looking back again, no one caught up.

Around, empty.

But Midnight knows very well that at any moment, ghosts can reappear!

Under normal circumstances, oni do not kill two people in a row in a very short period of time. Every killing is done with a certain period of time, perhaps ten minutes, half an hour, an hour, or even a day.

However, in this half-day blood indication, the interval is bound to be very short! At most, it's an hour. At the very least, even if it's only ten to twenty minutes, it's very possible!

So the shorter the time limit, the more dangerous it is for the residents!

Midnight took out the fragment of the Hell Pact from the pouch and held it tightly in the palm of his hand. If it really comes to that last moment, the only way to do this is to throw out the contract fragments and buy a little time to escape.

All around, there was silence.

But this is the most terrifying thing.

Constantly look at the front and back, left and right, as well as above, and even under the feet. There wasn't a single place where the midnight was missing, but everything was normal.

This calm before the storm is even more terrifying than when the real ghost appears.

Midnight judged how to escape, there are three factories nearby, but running into the factory is equivalent to entering a cage, she has studied carefully in advance, these factories have only one entrance and exit. Although you can escape through the window, it is much slower than the door, and I really dare not pin my life on it. However, entering a building can also serve as a shield for the body. But here's the problem......

Do ghosts really not have the ability to sense where they are? If you can sense location, then it's useless. She had calculated that the location of them in the cafeteria just now could not be seen from the outside. Even the body was covered with tables and chairs. Unless this ghost has clairvoyance, but if it has this ability, it is equivalent to having the ability to perceive location. Although the area of Jiangfeng Garment Factory is not small, it has a perspective eye, and you can quickly scan it to find the location.

In the end, Midnight decided to enter a nearby factory. However, don't go upstairs. Entering a high-rise building while executing the blood word is looking for death.

Time, it's still a long time.

She had no choice at all.

It's still hard to deduce the way out. After all, there are too few clues.

At the same time, Xingchen came to the residential area of the villa where his brother lived. Through the pontoon bridge on the water, you will come to the center of the artificial lake, and the majestic villa will appear in front of you.

Xingchen made up his mind to do it no matter what.

The elder brother may be of great help in the future, but Li Yin's wisdom is actually not below the elder brother. So, the elder brother does not "have to" exist.

Evil thoughts actually made Xingchen feel very guilty, but there was no other choice.

That person, if not money, is definitely something that will cost a lot of money to do. In addition, other households may be selected to trade at any time.

However, if he was standing in front of the iron gate, he would not be able to enter anyway.

What am I doing......

What am I doing!

Why......

Ask yourself, Xingyan is a very competent brother. He didn't do anything to be sorry for himself, but he always cared for him. Of course, because of that superior qualification, it is normal to sometimes appear confident and even proud. He didn't hide his superiority in front of the stars, and that made the stars feel extremely stressed.

Xingchen, almost everything is a failure, and he can't beat his brother. There is no skill, poor understanding, and no talent for business. Since childhood, he has been a person who has been "abandoned" by his mother.

However, my brother did not give up on himself. He has always taught himself carefully, taught him a lot of learning experience, and proposed to come to China, which his brother agreed.

"I ......"

It's not so much that I hate my brother...... It's better to say that he hates himself who can't surpass his brother.

Just when Xingchen was full of thoughts, his phone rang again. Xingchen immediately took out his mobile phone, and it was an unfamiliar number again.

After connecting, the familiar voice came again: "How's it going?" Do you know the authenticity of that MMS message now? ”

"I believe in you!" Xingchen couldn't wait to say, "You, what conditions do you have?" If there are any conditions, you can mention it! ”

"Don't be in such a hurry. Anyway, your next blood instruction hasn't arrived yet. ”

"Are you a resident of an apartment? If you are a resident, you must have passed the blood word many times, could it be that you are Li Yin? Or is it Ke Yinye? Or Ke Yinyu? ”

"Resident? No kidding. Remember one thing, I, to all of you, am God. Your life and death are all in my thoughts, and you can decide. Can you believe it? ”

"I, I believe! Please, what exactly do you want? Want money? Or ......"

"If it's money, of course. Money isn't what I want most though. What I want most is ...... Seeing the hypocrisy of human beings exposed, the ugliness of primitive 'evil' emerged. For me, that's the greatest joy. I want to ask you for the payment, tomorrow I will contact you and ask you for it. ”

"The ...... of Humanity Primitive 'evil'? Xingchen clenched his phone, clenched his fists, and said, "What does this mean?" Could it be ...... Did you build the apartment? The curse of the Scarlet Word was also created by you? Are you the one who dominates and dominates everything? ”

"Hahahahaha!" The voice burst out laughing, "Your imagination is so rich, create this apartment?" Where do I have such power? Xia Yuan had never told me that before. ”

Hearing this, Xingchen felt his body stiffen, and then asked, "Who?" Summer...... Xia Yuan? What do you mean? ”

"It doesn't hurt to tell you."

The voice began to grow muffled, and filled with a chilling coldness.

"Five and a half years ago, I had such a deal with that man named Xia Yuan. I'll show him a picture that can suggest the way to live, from the first blood word to the fifth blood word, that man has lived for five years just by me! It was I who gave him a long life of five years! ”

Xingchen suddenly felt cold all over.

When he joined the apartment, it didn't take long for Xia Yuan to die. And most of the residents said that Xia Yuan was such a good character, he was calm and calm every time he executed the blood words, and he could judge the birth path very accurately, and survive in danger again and again. At the same time, he also told the residents about the rules of many blood characters, as well as some rules summarized by the residents over the decades.

He used to be a "god" in the minds of the apartment residents.

"If it weren't for me, he would have died in the first blood. At that time, he was not the only household with whom I traded. However, this man, I have traded with him for the longest time. You know why? ”

"For ...... Why? ”

"Because the man had always sworn that he wanted to save the other occupants, to save as many lives as possible. Speaking as if he was a great man, at that time, I was very interested in his feelings. How long can this man's 'hypocrisy' last? I would very much like to know. In that case, he must be allowed to live as long as possible. So, I made a deal with him. The content of the deal is that I can provide him with clues to the life of the blood characters, but only give him the clues of the life of the blood words that he wants to execute, but he is not allowed to tell others the life of the blood words! ”

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about! Xia Yuan had successfully executed the blood letter five times before, and I heard from the residents that there were many times when he went back to the apartment with other people. If only he had a clue to survive......"

"I seem to have told you that Xia Yuan was not the only resident I traded with at that time......

Hearing this, the stars suddenly understood.

"Of course, even if there is a clue to the way of life, there are still many dead residents, so Xia Yuan can survive, and it is not that there is no luck at all. However, the clues I gave him about his life were the most crucial. By the way...... Xia Yuan has summed up a lot of rules of blood characters to tell you, right? But don't you feel weird? ”

"Strange? Strange what? ”

"Why do so many rules survive? In fact, there are very few households who can pass through the blood word ten times, and the mortality rate is so high, even if it is accumulated for decades, so many detailed rules can be passed down one by one, and it is completely through Xia Yuan's mouth to tell you, don't you feel the slightest strangeness? For example, six to ten times the blood word can be directly returned to the apartment, the first five times the blood word is less likely to appear plural ghosts, someone once used a bomb to blast the apartment, so much information, Xia Yuan alone was able to completely inherit it...... Aren't you all surprised? ”

The stars were barely on their feet.

"Could it be...... Do you say ......"

"I told him all the rules. It's kind of an extra bonus. I told him that he would never tell the other occupants what he should have done, and that if he did so and let the dying-deserved occupants live, I wouldn't trade with him again. The man who kept saying that he wanted to rescue the occupants did exactly what I said...... You've heard of the scarlet word at the crossroads that he executed before, right? ”

"Ah...... I've heard that Xia Yuan was extremely lucky that time......"

"Luck? Do you believe in that good luck? On that occasion, four cars drove up in a row, and the way to go was to see if the opposite car was reflected on the glass of the car. The car that can't be reflected is a 'phantom'. Rush towards the Phantom and you'll be fine. Of course, it takes a little time to judge, and the speed of the car is so fast, he was still hit, but because he avoided it in time, he picked up a surname. Afterwards, he made up the lie that he was lucky enough to be knocked into the air and not die, and the residents who went with him naturally died without a place to be buried! The people who can be rescued are obviously close at hand, but they still abandon them for the sake of their own lives! The exposure of this person's sin made me more sure of how hypocritical this man is! To reward him for the 'evil' he showed to my people, I told him many of the underlying rules of the apartment. Through my paintings......"

"So, why...... Why did Xia Yuan die at the time of the sixth blood word? Haven't you been trading with him? Why ......"

"Nothing. I'm just tired of it. The 'happiness' he brought me was enough, and I didn't need him anymore. So, the sixth time I contacted him, he said, 'Go to that villa a day early, and then you'll find clues to your way out.' But actually, it was because I drew the picture of him being killed by a demon in black in front of the villa. That's why I ......"

"You...... You ......" Xingchen was speechless.

This person...... It's a demon, it's a demon!

"Then how do I know if you will abandon me in the same way? You ......"

"It doesn't matter. You are different from Xia Yuan, the reward he provided me is enough, but as long as you can always give me the reward I want, I will not deceive you. Of course, believe it or not. I'll contact you when the time comes, and I'll ask for the payment I want. Of course, if you don't want to trade with me, I don't care. Merely...... I can tell you ...... for sure."

"The third time you execute the blood word, you, are about to die!"

Then, the phone hung up.
