Chapter 10… The Bloody Apartment (10)  


[Guess, how long can you live? ]

 

Looking at that last sentence filled with malice, Shen Yu could not help a slight frown.

 

The other two had also opened their own black books to read the plot development.

 

“Wohoo, it looks like we are dead!”

 

Cuihua took a lollipop from her pocket, peeled off the sugary paper and threw it in her mouth.

 

Anonymous closed the pages calmly: “It won’t be peaceful tonight, everyone should be careful.”

 

Time flew by quickly, and it was night again in the blink of an eye.

 

The manager reappeared to distribute the keys.

 

But Shen Yu felt that the manager’s eyes kept returning to look at the three of them, either intentionally or unintentionally, and the muddy eyes were full of hidden maliciousness.

 

But in the end, he still didn’t do anything. After handing out the four keys, he turned and left.

 

Three pink keys and one red key.

 

Because of the death of the man with glasses, the only survivors at this time were Shen Yu, Anonymous, Cuihua, Xu Jiaojiao, the bald man and Da Zhuang, and the young couple; a total of eight people.

 

According to the previous practice, after the people had paired up, they wanted to take their keys.

 

But when Shen Yu stretched his hand for the red key, the bald man suddenly took the lead and grabbed the red key for himself.

 

All were surprised and looked at him; he was grinning at Shen Yu and said: “Brother, you have spent so long in the East Building, you’ve collected enough clues. You can exchange with me now.”

 

He hadn’t dared to live in the East Building before like everyone else, but since Shen Yu and Anonymous had been safe and sound, in the eyes of the bald man, the East Building has obviously become important.

 

Seeing the bald man holding the key and never letting go, Shen Yu instantly understood that the other party mistakenly thought that only by living in the East Building could he find the relevant clues.

 

He didn’t say much, just coldly added a reminder: “Be careful of those monsters.” It’s just that the bald man didn’t seem to listen, and he left with a dazed face.

 

Anonymous and Shen Yu also took a pink key and went to the West Building.

 

Only after stepping into their room in the west building, did Shen Yu stroked the pink wall and asked in a doubtful voice: “The color of the walls in the west building… seems to be darker.” On the first night, the west building had been only a pale pink. Yet visible to the naked eye, the pink on the walls was getting more red as the days went by.

 

Anonymous stood beside him, squinted at the wall and calmly said: “Anyway, be careful about everything.”

 

“Tonight, I’m afraid it will be difficult.”

 

 

“Big brother, why do we have to live here?” At this moment, two men were sleeping in the East building, and it was after the lights went out. Da Zhuang looked puzzled and asked:” Here it is poor and broken down, simply incomparable with the new homes in the west building.“

 

“ You’re a bumpkin 1 bumpkin : an unsophisticated or socially awkward person from the countryside. What do you know?” The bald man cursed.

 

He was lying in front of the door at this time, waiting nervously for the monster to arrive: “Those people are mysteriously running to the east building, isn’t it because of the clues in the east building!”

 

“Do you remember what the old man, that manager, said? Whoever kills the monster, he promised to give them any reward, understand? Idiot!”

 

Hearing this, Da Zhuang was immediately happy: “Brother, let’s kill a monster, and we can ask the old man to release us. Will it be possible to leave this horrible place?”

 

How is this possible? The old thing can give some skills at best… The bald man just wanted to roll his eyes when listening to the newcomer’s whimsical words.

 

But he didn’t show it on his face, he just nodded indiscriminately: “Yes, you can do whatever you want!”

 

Da Zhuang became even more excited, and enthusiastically approached the bald man, then looked out through the door crack: “Then let’s grab a monster, when will the weirdo that knocks on the door every night come?”

 

In the apartment complex, the monster in the elevator was dead.

 

The monster outside the window had hanged someone on the first day, so he was obviously not someone easy to mess with.

 

The rest of the monsters are unknown and can’t be found.

 

Considering it like this, they can only try the monster that came and knocked on the door every day, as he had not killed a person so far.

 

“As soon as the monster knocking on the door comes, I will rush out, block its way and just face it to the end. You will take the opportunity to run behind the monster for a sneak attack, understand?” the bald man asked.

 

Da Zhuang nodded, and then cautiously asked: “Brother, you…you really can fight monsters, are you sure?”

 

In fact, the bald man himself felt a little guilty, but now he couldn’t admit it. He chose to curse hard: “If you don’t have the courage then just say that you’re terrified! Can’t even hold a little monster, why have I been fooling with you for so long?”

 

Da Zhuang was scolded, and he didn’t dare to talk back and had to carefully agree with a smiling face: “No, I don’t mean that, brother, don’t be angry…” He was just halfway through with what he wanted to say when a dull, dragging sound suddenly came from the corridor outside.

 

The two suddenly calmed down and looked at each other.

 

Coming!

 

It was another night. The ugly baby was sitting in the coffin, dragged by a new apartment resident, walking slowly in the corridors, like a wild beast patrolling his own territory.

 

Only this time, while they were passing by a room in the East Building, the door of that room suddenly opened.

 

A fat, bald man suddenly jumped out of the room, clutching a large steel axe in both hands, and, instead of doing anything else, he slashed at the apartment resident in front of him.

 

The walking-dead-like apartment resident did not dodge in the slightest. A stiff head was instantly split in half by an axe, and the brain was scattered all over the floor, red and white mixed together, making for a disgusting picture.

 

The resident’s body without a head shook where it stood, and immediately fell to the ground.

 

The bald man who succeeded in the sneak attack never expected that it would be so easy, thus he couldn’t help himself, who had been prepared for a hard fight, being stunned.

 

But immediately after, he looked at the coffin behind him, and his heart suddenly became excited.

 

No, the sneak attack had been done to the wrong target.

 

In this case, the person sitting in the coffin behind was the real threat.

 

But before he could remedy his mistake, Da Zhuang had successfully walked around their backs, picked up the ugly baby from the coffin and said triumphantly: “Big brother, here you are! I didn’t expect it to be so simple.”

 

“Ouch! This little one. The monster is so ugly, how ugly is its mother to have given birth to such an ugly child?” He took a closer look at the baby in his hands while saying this in a disgusted voice.

 

But what he didn’t expect was that this ugly baby, who seemed to not have enough power even to kill a chicken, suddenly opened his mouth and let out a long, creepy scream.

 

The sharp, whistling sound spread through the entire apartment building in an instant.

 

The pink apartment complex began to vibrate.

 

Da Zhuang was stunned, at a loss with the baby in his hands.

 

Just while he was stunned, the bald man on the side saw that the situation was getting out of control, so he turned around and ran back to the room, and locked the door heavily with a “bang”.

 

Blood threads, countless red blood threads, came from the west building, crawled through the winding corridor, and extended to the room in the east building.

 

When Da Zhuang realized that it was not good, those blood threads had already climbed on his calf and tore him down, more blood threads swarming, cutting his flesh and skin inch by inch.

 

Da Zhuang was dragged to the ground, and the baby in his hands slipped out.

 

The ugly and skinny baby was surrounded by the scarlet blood threads, but he seemed to feel as comfortable as if he was sitting in the arms of his mother, his expression calm.

 

Da Zhuang’s body was wrapped in layers of the blood threads. With his only movable arm, he struggled to climb to the door of the room and knocked hard: “Brother, help! Weird, monster!”

 

“The monster is going to eat me— -Help! Help!” He cried almost desperately.

 

“Didn’t you say that you are very strong and can definitely kill monsters?”

 

Hearing the heartbreaking cries outside the door, the bald man just pressed on the door more firmly.

 

“Catch the little monster…no, he is the one who caught the baby, not me! It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me…” He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the monster would never notice him.

 

In the end, Da Zhuang outside the door was torn to pieces by those blood threads amidst the extremely tragic howling and cursing.

 

Only a pool of flesh remained in his place.

 

The screams of Da Zhuang before he died were heard far away, even the people living in the west building could hear them.

 

Shen Yu and Anonymous  naturally heard the sudden roar in the middle of the night, followed by the miserable wailing of the living.

 

“The two talents just entered the East Building, what did they do to make such a big noise?” Shen Yu asked with a frown.

 

But soon, the sounds of the outside world quieted down and fell into a dead silence.

 

The silence was frightening.

 

In this extremely depressed atmosphere, a sudden knock on the door sounded.

 

Someone was knocking on their door.

 

“The weird guy knocking on the door is here again?” Shen Yu softly asked Anonymous.

 

Anonymous suddenly frowned, then vigilantly pulled Shen Yu behind him, trying to use his small body to block him.

 

The sharp scalpel was silently pressed between his fingers.

 

Soon, the voice from outside the door confirmed his conjecture.

 

“The two of you, we just heard someone screaming, so we came to take a look. Are you alright?” The manager’s hoarse and weird voice sounded from outside the door, so it wasn’t the weirdo who had never spoken before.

 

What was especially strange was that the manager’s tone had changed from his usual indifference, and now he was full of enthusiasm and care, as if he was really thinking about their personal safety.

 

But being too enthusiastic is too fake.

 

In the darkness, Anonymous gently squeezed Shen Yu’s palm, then replied in a deep voice: “Nothing.”

 

Shen Yu suddenly understood, and the two moved the desk lightly and silently blocked the door of the room.

 

The manager outside the door continued to show hypocritical care: “Are you really all right? Can you open the door and let me see?”

 

“I was afraid that something was wrong with you, so I brought the only doctor that lives here, Doctor Liu, as well as the one tenant who had chatted with you before. Aunt Zhang is also very worried and wanted to come in and have a look! And your uncle Li living downstairs, the front door neighbour Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhao…”

 

“They all want to come in to see you, open the door.” The manager shouted, and the knocking on the door gradually became rough, and finally turned into smashing into the door.

 

Countless hard voices sounded, repeating over and over again: “Open the door! Open the door!”

 

Outside the door, a group of apartment residents, headed by the manager, including men and women, old and young, had all gathered at this time. Together, their densely crowded heads filled the entire corridor.

 

They all had weird and indifferent expressions on their faces, but their muddy eyes flashed with greed, staring at the door of the house in front of them, and numbly saying, “Open the door, open the door…” The sound of slamming the door intensified, everyone was squeezing towards the door, as if trying to squeeze themselves into the door forcibly.

 

The door made an overwhelming “creaking” sound, and it seemed to be unable to hold on.

 

Once the door ruptures, all the residents outside will swarm in.

 

A trace of pride appeared on the manager’s face.

 

“Zhang Lili!”

 

But at this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from the room.

 

The name suddenly stopped everyone’s movements, and the faces of the apartment residents showed obvious fear.

 

But Shen Yu in the room shouted again:

 

“Zhang Lili—”
