Chapter 1: Hide and Seek
The next day, at about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the doorbell of Li Yin's house rang.
At this time, Li Yin had just finished updating the latest chapters of the three chapters, turned off the computer and went to open the door. And sure enough, the person standing at the door was Yingziye.
Li Yin smiled slightly and said, "You're here." I keep the cake in the fridge all the time. ”
After Ying Ziye walked in, Li Yin went to the refrigerator to get the cake.
"You can take the food from the fridge in this apartment, and you make your own cakes?" Ying Ziye asked with some confusion.
"Well, the eggs and cream were taken in the fridge and the apartment was also very convenient, just write a post-it note on the fridge door for what you want to eat. The cake is here. ”
Li Yin came over with a strawberry cream cake and said, "I only bought the cake making utensils a few days ago, and I looked at the book for making cakes. The food is delicious if you make it yourself. ”
"Hmm." Ying Ziye took out the notebook from his pocket, handed it to Li Yin, and said, "The notebook is back to you, thank you very much for your notes...... I have memorized all the contents, Li Yin, you ...... It's very smart. ”
Li Yin took the note with a smile, put the strawberry cream cake in front of her, and put a fork on it, and said, "How about you try it?" I'm thinking about opening an online cake shop if I do it well, haha, I guess it's the impact of watching too many Korean dramas recently...... It's really delicious, at least eat a little, don't you hate cakes? ”
"Hmm...... Thank you. After Ying Ziye sat down, he picked up his fork and ate a piece of cake.
The taste is very good.
"The ingredients provided by the apartment are really good, the cream is very mellow, and the strawberries are also ......," Ying Ziye tasted the cake and said, "However, your skills in making cakes seem to be good." ”
"Right? In fact, when I was admitted to university, I originally wanted to learn cooking, but my parents insisted that I go to science college, but the four years of college felt like a waste of time. Li Yin seemed to be very emotional, and then continued: "If you like it, I will continue to make cakes for you to eat in the future." ”
However, the next sentence Li Yin answered was not asked, and the fork that Ying Ziye inserted into the cake immediately stopped.
"Do you want to think about it...... Be my girlfriend? ”
Before Ying Ziye could react, Li Yin's expression had become extremely serious: "I'm not joking with you, absolutely not." ”
"Female ...... Friend? Ying Ziye raised her head and looked at Li Yin, her expression still did not change, as if there was nothing in this world that she could care about.
"Li Yin, you...... You don't know me. We haven't known each other for long, have we? ”
"None of that matters. All I know is ...... I like you, so I want to be with you. And...... It's okay to get to know each other over time. ”
Ying Ziye picked up the cake and took a bite of it, and said, "It's very sudden...... Someone actually confessed to me......"
"No one has confessed to you before?" Li Yin was a little surprised, Ying Ziye is so beautiful, no one will chase her, right?
"People I've been in contact with have been scared away. Because they all say that I am a research freak, and I stay in the lab as a whole, I might as well marry the lab. ”
"No...... I like people who have a strong intellectual curiosity. ”
"Really? However, I can't just reply to you......"
"It's okay, you can think about it slowly. I can wait for you. No matter how long it takes, this offer works. ”
"Hmm. I'll think about it. But now, the most important thing is how to spend the next blood letter. ”
"yes...... I know ......"
"That'...... I'll go first. ”
After eating the cake on the plate, Ying Ziye wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, "Thank you very much for the cake, I hope I can eat it again next time." ”
"Well, okay, I'll make it for you again if you like it......"
After Yingzi left at night, he collapsed on the sofa, kept grabbing his hair, and scolded: "Li Yin, you idiot! Why do you have to say it so impatiently...... Oh my God, what's wrong with me...... But who knows how long I have left?
After Xia Yuan's death, the residents held another meeting that night. And most residents believe that the new building manager should be Li Yin. After all, he's the only one of the current apartment residents who has survived the blood letter four times.
In fact, the residents were quite excited after listening to Ying Ziye mention the implementation of the blood letter instructions. Because...... This shows that as long as you find the hidden "way of life" in the apartment, it is actually very simple to survive the blood letter indication, like this time, as long as you close your eyes, you can spend five days safely!
But that's just as simple as it sounds. If they don't know this, who is okay to keep their eyes closed 24 hours a day?
In the end, everyone voted unanimously to appoint the new building director as ...... Li Yin.
Another few months passed.
The day...... The apartment was again marked in blood.
And this time the blood letter indicates...... It's extremely weird.
The content reads: "On November 1, 2010, before 12:00 on the same day, I arrived at the top of Hwaam Mountain on the outskirts of K City, and then began to play hide and seek. Select one 'ghost', and the others have to hide and not let the 'ghost' catch it, and they can't leave Huayan Mountain during this period. You will not be able to return to the apartment until after midnight. ”
"Catch ...... Hide-and-seek? ”
The selected households were stunned when they saw this line of blood, what does this mean? Playing hide-and-seek in the mountains is considered a bloody instruction? Where is it so simple?
So, one of the selected residents, Yang Lin, a resident of Room 806, came to inquire about the new building manager, Li Yin.
"I guess, it can't be that simple, just play hide and seek, right?" Yang Lin asked nervously: "Building chief, do you think there is something hidden in this?" ”
Li Yin also felt very weird. He was pretty sure that the apartment was hiding some kind of trap in the blood letters. And that trap, if you get into it without noticing, will definitely be doomed.
However, he really couldn't figure out what this trap was, so he had to say to Yang Lin: "In short, the literal meaning must be observed." When you reach the top of the mountain, you choose one of you to be a 'ghost' to play hide and seek. Since it is said to be hide and seek, it is natural to hide so that people can't find it, so try to go to a place that is easy to hide in the mountains. Huayan Mountain is very large, and it is definitely not difficult to hide. Other than that...... In general, hide and seek is that everyone hides separately, although there are two people hiding in the same place, but just in case, try not to hide in a certain place with another person. I know it's scary to go it alone, but I can't help it. ”
Yang Lin nodded and continued: "What if...... What does it mean to be found? Will it die? Moreover, if the person who is a 'ghost' can't find anyone else, will he also die? ”
This is the top concern of the selected households. If this is the case, then at least one person will die anyway. I don't know if that's the case, but nothing can be guaranteed in this weird apartment.
Li Yin shook his head and said, "This possibility is not very high. The apartment does not exist to torture us, otherwise there would be no one who is indicated by blood, and we will definitely be given a way to live, and if you follow your words, then there must be a person in a desperate situation, and there is no way to live. ”
Li Yin's words reassured Yang Lin a lot, after all, he was the one who had been instructed by the blood character four times, and his words were very convincing.
However, despite this, how do you choose the "ghosts"?
Vote? Lottery? Guess the box? Anyway, it is impossible for someone to recommend themselves. Even if it is selected, the person who is a "ghost" may not be willing to be, after all, the apartment does not specify the method of selecting a "ghost". However, there must be someone to be a "ghost", otherwise everyone will have to be dragged into suicide by the shadow.
Regarding this problem, Li Yin also felt that it was difficult to deal with it, so he had to say: "You can negotiate for yourself when the time comes, someone has to be a 'ghost', there is no way." Make a decision as soon as possible. ”
In November, at around four o'clock in the morning, the selected residents set out.
This time the person in charge of driving is Chen Zhenxing of Room 1304, he is a very handsome young man, his surname is very gentle, and he is very popular in the apartment. In addition to Yang Lin, there are three other people, namely Tang Lanxuan, Zhang Lingfeng and Si Chen, who lives in room 1215.
Yang Lin is a college student with a science background, but he has no job yet, his mind turns quickly, and he is a little clever from time to time. Tang Lanxuan has a very good relationship with Li Yin, and he is also quite talkative, but his very feminine name is often made fun of. Zhang Lingfeng has always been withdrawn and does not communicate with people, so everyone is not very familiar with him. As for Si Chen, he is a soothsayer, and he usually always holds a deck of tarot cards.
Due to the early departure, before eight o'clock, we had already arrived at Huayan Mountain and successfully reached the top.
Huayan Mountain is a big mountain on the outskirts of K City, but it is relatively desolate, and it is said that during the Republic of China, a group of robbers occupied the mountain as the king and killed many innocent people, so there are many unjust souls. Because of this legend, except for some curiosity lovers, most people don't like to come to this mountain, so Huayan Mountain is very worthy of the words "off the beaten track".
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, I only saw a bare mountain col with few trees. On the ground, it is overgrown with weeds, but because few people come, there is not much garbage. The mountain seemed empty, there was no sound at all, not even the birds could be heard, so all five of them had a feeling of deafness.
"What a depressing place." Yang Lin looked left and right from time to time, looked at his watch, and said, "That...... There's still plenty of time, so let's decide who will be the 'ghost'. ”
Speaking of this, Si Chen took out a deck of tarot cards and said, "Why don't you use tarot cards to decide?" ”
"No kidding!" Yang Lin hurriedly stopped him and said, "Well, I guess how about guessing the boxing decision?" If it is a lot, there must be people who think that there will be cheating. But is the winner a 'ghost' or a loser a 'ghost'? ”
After arguing for a long time, it was finally decided by guessing the fist, and the person who was the 'ghost' was ...... Si Chen.
"It's actually me......" Si Chen sighed, squatted on the ground, spread the tarot cards on it, and then drew a card and looked at it.
"How? What is it? Tang Lanxuan asked with concern: "What does it portend?" ”
Si Chen hurriedly put the tarot card back and said, "No...... It's nothing. "He didn't look very good.
Everyone sat down and discussed what to do next.
"Anyway, according to the instructions of the building chief," Yang Lin repeatedly explained to Si Chen: "You must do your best to come to us, we will hide very hidden, so that you will not be easily found." Well, we all adjust our phones to vibrate so that you can't find us through the ringtone. ”
Si Chen looked worried at the moment: "If I can't find you...... What should I do......"
"It's okay," Chen Zhenxing comforted him and said, "The building manager said that the apartment will always leave us a way out." ”
That's it...... Finally, twelve o'clock in the afternoon came!
