Chapter 20: How to Survive? Impasse?
Midnight carried the letter and walked into the basement.
Shangguan Mian is standing in front of the iron gate at the moment, with a solemn face, it can be said that this is her appearance at the peak of her killing intent, when she fought with the god of death, she responded to the battle in this state!
When I walked by her in the middle of the night, I felt like I was walking past a beast!
Shangguan Mian...... Who is she?
Midnight walked to the iron door, took the letter to the window, and then raised his hand, ready to knock.
Suddenly, Bai Yu ran in, and when he saw that Midnight was about to knock on the door, his face turned pale and he said, "The letter ......"
With a whoosh, Bai Yu only saw a cold light flashing, and before he could react, he saw that a long iron needle had been inserted into the palm of Midnight's right hand!
Midnight's hand stopped at the moment when it was about to touch the door, and a sharp pain hit her heart, and then her body kept falling backwards on the steps, and suddenly felt the pain in her body as if it was torn, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
The poison on this needle, once it enters the blood circulation, can quickly kill people!
Shangguan Mian came to her quickly, and he didn't know when there was an extra needle in his hand. The needle tube contained a tube of blood, the serum of the toxin, which could only be rescued by injecting it.
She grabbed Yingziye's hand and began to inject the serum.
Midnight had fainted at this time, and after the serum injection, the originally pale face finally regained its blood color.
If she had injected a little more slowly, she would have died!
All this only took five or six seconds, and Bai Yu looked stupid.
He hurriedly ran over, lowered his voice, and said, "What is that needle?" You ......"
"You stay here and watch, I'll take her up."
Shangguan Mian picked up midnight and took her to the first floor. She was then placed on the ground. She still held the letter in her hand.
Shangguan Mian took down the letter, opened it and looked at it.
Just now, Bai Yu's appearance obviously meant that there was something wrong with the letter, so she didn't hesitate to shoot the poisonous needle at midnight.
It should be said that Murong Mirage's luck is really good, if he and Shangguan sleep in the same hall, he would have gone to the Netherworld to report at this moment. Shangguan Mian would never inject serum into this pervert.
Eventually, she discovered the problem with the letter.
The letter concluded: "I forgive you, Leon. β
This is a letter to the unfortunate ones! To make such a mistake is to dig your own grave!
With Midnight's calmness and prudence, she would actually make such a low-level mistake, which shows that her spirit has been greatly impacted.
Shangguan Mian immediately crumpled the letter into a ball. Immediately, she went to the second floor, took a new piece of letter paper, took a pen in her left hand, and copied the original letter, but in the end, changed "Leon" to "unlucky".
After the letter was written, midnight woke up. She looked at Shangguan Mian, who had copied the letter, and said, "Shangguan...... Miss, you ......."
Suddenly, a cold dagger pressed against Midnight's throat.
Shangguan Mian's terrifying devouring eyes made her shudder.
"There are only three tubes of the poison needle I pierced into your body just now. I don't usually use it on anyone other than me, because of your wisdom, I only treat you once. She said coldly, "But, this is the first and last time." The next time you make such a low-level mistake, I will definitely kill you! β
"The letter just now ......" Midnight recalled carefully, and suddenly remembered the mistake he had made.
Suddenly, the body was cold. Just now, I almost sent a letter that would trigger a dead end!
"Wait a minute, the needle just now...... Poisonous? Midnight looked at Shangguan Mian in shock: "Is it the toxin you prepared yourself?" You just said serum? Is it snake venom? β
But even snake venom works too quickly.
"People who ask fewer questions will live longer."
Shangguan Mian's words made Midnight understand in an instant. The girl in front of her is definitely not a simple character!
But in the middle of the night, she would never have dreamed that the girl in front of her turned out to be the killer "Sleeping Beauty", a famous female surname in the dark world of Europe.
She immediately nodded and said, "Got it, I won't ask more." β
Shangguan Mian put away the knife. She knew that the people in this apartment were only concerned about how to survive, and they would not make any extrasistacy.
Otherwise, she would have killed Midnight and Bai Yu who had seen her come out of the needle. Killing these two people was no different to her than pinching two ants to death.
Next, both the Crown Pavilion and the Moon Shadow Pavilion sent a reply.
At half past eight in the evening, the most terrible reply appeared.
And this reply finally pushed everyone to the edge of the cliff. There is no place to escape.
Lyon's letter is:
"Unfortunately:
You'll be shocked by what I'm going to talk about next, but I'm going to tell you.
In fact...... I'm dead.
You must be shocked and unbelievable, right? But it's true.
I committed suicide a long, long time ago. Since I never received your letter, I was worried that you would not be able to persevere and compromise, so I killed myself with the knife I brought with me when I delivered the meal.
But even if I die, I still miss you and still want to be with you. It's great to know in the letter that you're still in love with me.
So, unfortunately, I want to marry you.
Since you love me, you can't reject me just because I'm dead, right? If you refuse, I'll force you to come to the Moon Shadow Pavilion, and even if I take you to that world, I won't be separated from you!
You're willing, aren't you?
I await your reply.
Love you Lyon"
And the unfortunate letter turned out to be exactly the same as Leon:
"Lyon:
Actually, I'm dead.
I'm really sorry for hiding it from you all the time.
At that time, I couldn't receive a reply from you, so I committed suicide with the knife I received during the meal.
When we die, we can't live like the living. But even so, I still hope to be with you, and I hope to be able to be with you.
So, please promise me that you will marry me?
Even if we are separated by yin and yang, at least I still hope to be able to become husband and wife with you.
You'd be willing, wouldn't you? Lyons? You don't hate me because I'm dead, do you? If you don't love me because of this, even if I turn into a ghost, I will come to the Crown Pavilion and haunt you forever!
Love you for your unfortunate deeds."
Bombshell.
An absolute bombshell!
Compared to these two letters, the previous letters were just appetizers for a feast of despair.
Li Yin and Midnight were staring at each other at the window on the second floor at the moment.
What to do? Willing? Don't want to?
Whichever side you choose is a dead end.
But if you think about it carefully, this choice may be a leap from death to life for residents.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, both may be dead ends, and both may be life.
Agree to get married, maybe the two ghosts will be satisfied with it. Even if you come out for a wedding, it may not hurt the residents.
If you don't agree, the ghost may go directly to the basement of another hall and bring that ghost into the Netherworld with you. Then the two ghosts both disappear, or at least haunt each other, and they will no longer write letters. The premise, of course, is to move directly to another basement without killing the occupants in the process.
The apartment gives the occupants a terrifying choice.
Which one to choose? Which one is the way to live? Which one is a dead end?
And you have to choose the right one on both sides. There is one side to choose the right one, and the other side to choose the wrong one, and it is useless.
A cold wind blew coldly, Li Yin looked at Midnight opposite, and Midnight also looked at Li Yin opposite.
Feng Yuxian, Bai Yu and the others had almost given up on themselves, and handed over all the decisions to Li Yin and Ying Ziye. And Feng Yuxian looked at Murong Mirage firmly and didn't let this pervert send a reply letter casually.
Li Yin took his mobile phone and said to Midnight opposite, "Midnight." Perhaps, tonight is our last time together. β
Midnight said, "Li Yin, which one do you choose?" β
"I don't know. Whichever one you choose, there may be a way of life or a way of death. I think. After this letter is delivered, we can also be relieved. No matter what form of liberation is used. β
Both letters were delivered at half past eight. In other words, the reply must be sent at half past eleven o'clock at the latest.
Half an hour before Li Yin could return to the apartment was enough for them to be killed.
"Midnight." Li Yin said suddenly, "Remember the question you asked me before leaving, right? Ask me, why did I fall in love with you at that time? I just met you and suddenly fell in love with you so deeply? At that time, I didn't answer you, did I? β
"Hmm. Yes, Li Yin. Suddenly mention this ......"
"I think, at least for now. Because, when I first saw you, I recognized you, and I recognized you as my soulmate. Although it was only a momentary gaze, I thought to myself, yes, it's her. After searching for countless years, it was as if I had known you in my previous life, and I fell in love with you at that moment. 'Love at first sight' is a clichΓ©, isn't it? But that's my love for you. However, in the middle of the night, if you think about it carefully, since ghosts exist, even if there is reincarnation, it is not unusual. 'That world' is also likely to exist. It's just that that world is too far away and too small for us, so we have to try our best to live. β
The corners of Li Yin......'s eyes in the middle of the night were already a little moist.
"We may have been a couple of lovers who loved each other very much in our previous lives, so I was able to recognize you at first sight in this life. If there is an afterlife, whether it is the past ten years, twenty years, or a hundred years, as long as I can meet you again, I will definitely be able to recognize you, and then, I will fall in love with you. If you can meet me, please recognize me, Midnight. β
Midnight covered her face with her hands, she knew very well that Li Yin was already almost desperate.
In the past few hours, the two of them have analyzed all the letters, word for word, and made countless assumptions, but so far they have not found any signs related to the way of life. even called Silver Night and Silver Feather, but their brother and sister had no clue.
This is likely to be a terrifying blood word that has surpassed the wisdom of Li Yin and Midnight.
"Actually, I'm the same." In the middle of the night, he suddenly said to Li Yin: "Li Yin, you are also my soul mate. I also feel that the moment I see you, you enter my soul. But at that time, because I had just entered this apartment, I was only thinking about how to survive. When I came back alive from that haunted house, you said to me if I could be your girlfriend, and I was actually really happy. However, at that time, I felt that I might not have a future with you, so I didn't promise you immediately. But when I came back from Silvermoon Island, I decided. No matter what awaits us in this apartment, I will not let go of your hand, and even if I die, I hope to be able to die in love with you. β
The man and woman, whose souls were intertwined because of that momentary gaze, have finally reached this final moment. This moment has always been fearful, but it is always coming.
At this moment, the fear in my heart has calmed down.
It's strange that when the most terrifying moment comes, I feel relaxed.
"Li Yin ......" in the middle of the night suddenly said to the other end of the phone: "I love you, I love you, I love you......"
After saying countless "I love you" in a row, the tears in my eyes finally burst out.
Li Yin was the same, his tears couldn't stop flowing.
"I love you," Li Yin also said on the phone: "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you......"
It seems that he wants to finish all the three words of "I love you" in his life on this night.
Then, the two made a decision.
At 11:29 they sent down the true letter. Anyway, no matter which side you choose, it may be a dead end, so it's better to send a real letter. In this way, the vitality is even greater.
At 11:45 p.m., the reply came. Two replies were sent almost simultaneously.
Lyon's reply was:
"Unfortunately:
Unexpectedly, you, like me, are already dead, and you are exactly the same as I thought!
It really makes me so happy.
Well, I'm looking forward to getting married to you!
Love you Lyon"
The unfortunate reply was:
"Lyon:
In fact, I, like you, am dead.
So I believe you are indeed dead. My heart really hurts, but as long as we can be together, then I'm not afraid of anything.
I promise you that I am willing to marry you and become husband and wife with you.
In fact, I've wanted to marry you for a long time, and I once went to order a dress.
Also, can a maid who delivers letters outside be troublesome? I know you must have peeked at my letters, but I don't care. At the top of the basement is a flight of stairs, the fourth staircase, which lifts the slabs on the stairs and creates a large space inside. There was the groom's dress and the bridal dress that I put in. Can you bring my dress in and give Leon's dress to Leon? Please do me a favor, I want to surprise Leon.
You must be sent in within five minutes, and if you don't help, I'll turn into a ghost and won't let you go!
Love you for your unfortunate deeds."
As soon as the letter was unfortunate enough to mention this, I came to the fourth step of the first staircase in the middle of the night, and sure enough, the board on the staircase was very loose. When opened, there were two rectangular boxes inside.
Take out the box, one box contains the groom's suit, and the other box contains the bride's wedding dress.
"Send it in." Midnight frowned and said, "We have no other choice. β
The groom's dress, naturally, was sent to the corona hall by the telescopic iron clip. When Li Yin took the groom's dress, his heart trembled.
Do you have to give them dresses yourself?
Midnight held the wedding dress and the reply, walked to the iron door of the basement, and knocked on the door.
Immediately, the thin hand reached out and took the wedding dress and the reply letter inside.
Then, Midnight turned around and said to Bai Yu and Shangguan Mian in front of him, "Let's go, go to the top." β
Next, you have to find a place to hide!
Li Yin also held the groom's dress, took the reply letter, and walked to the iron door, he was just about to knock on the door.
Suddenly, Li Yin's body suddenly shuddered.
Wait a minute...... Why go all the way to give dresses?
Li Yin, who was already exhausted, didn't think about it so much at first. Because he thought that by the time the reply was sent, whether it would be a life or a death had already been decided.
But, in fact, no.
The way to live or to die, it was not decided at all.
It is now that determines the way of life or death.
Don't...... Could it be ...... Li Yin found himself ignoring a terrifying fact.
The apartment did not hide the information, but misled them with a piece of information!
Li Yin immediately rushed to the first floor and dialed Midnight's mobile phone.
"Pick it up, pick it up, midnight!"
He ran to the window on the first floor and shouted, "Midnight! Don't give away your wedding dress ......"
That's when the phone went through.
"Midnight?" Li Yin immediately said, "You didn't send the wedding dress in, did you?" β
"Just now," Midnight replied, "I just brought in with my wedding dress and a reply." β
Li Yin's brain suddenly went blank!
Just a little, just a little!
"What's wrong? Li Yin? Midnight felt bad: "What's going on?" β
"Midnight...... Haven't we seen the photos of Zeng Weixing and Ren Leon, right? β
"yes, yes, yes......"
"Don't you think it's strange why Ren Leon, Zeng Weixing's hands, the former is fair-skinned, and the latter is dry and thin?"
Midnight was stunned for a moment, and then her body began to tremble violently!
"I had a bold idea. As a matter of fact...... Zeng Weixing is a man! Ren Leon is a woman! We've all been deceived by names! There is no mention of those two people in the news, who is a man and who is a woman! It's our preconceived idea that Zeng Weixing is a woman and Ren Leon is a man! β
Midnight's hands were shaking more and more, and the phone was almost falling to the ground.
She recalled that the three pieces of news she saw at the beginning did only say that the bodies of a man and a woman were found, and they were the children of the Zeng family and the Ren family, named Zeng Weixing and Ren Leon respectively. But there is never any mention of who is a man and who is a woman! However, judging by the name, I think so preconceivedly!
In the correspondence between the two, there is no mention of their surname, because the third person is not used, and it is impossible to see it at all. When mentioning that he was fortunate enough to have a relationship with "that person", he didn't use the third person to address "that person" once. In other words, the one who failed to seduce was actually a woman, and it was very likely that Li Yue! And if you think about it, isn't it weird for a woman to be a dealer and a dealer behind the scenes in a casino, but it's natural if it's a man! And the letter only mentions "marriage", and there is no such word as "marriage" or "marriage"! There are no such words as "I want to be your wife" or "I want to be your husband"!
However, the wedding dress, give the wedding dress of this woman to a male ghost, which means that they are foreign intruders and not messengers! Then the ghosts will naturally kill them!
The previous replies that exposed **, as well as the nightmarish replies at the end, were just a prelude to their nerves to continue to weaken, and finally gradually lose their ability to judge and walk into the trap!
Midnight immediately rushed to the basement, maybe it was too late to change dresses! Go and say "I'm sorry I sent the wrong one, I'll send the right one later"!
When I ran down in the middle of the night, I saw that at the end of the stairs, the iron door ...... It's wide open at the moment! The room inside was empty......
(To be continued)
