Chapter 13… The Bloody Apartment (13)
The night was cold and the water was freezing when Shen Yu took a handful of it and threw it on his slightly hot face.
After leaving the room, he did not linger in the corridor and went straight to the bathroom at the end of the corridor.
In the public bathroom outside the toilets, there weren’t only shower heads, but also a sink and a dirty and broken mirror.
After the heat on his face had slowly subsided from the excitement, Shen Yu straightened up and looked at the mirror in front of him.
A pair of scarlet eyes appeared on the broken mirror, silently lurking behind him, staring at him coldly.
As soon as he looked in the mirror, the monster behind him showed its fangs and pounced at his fragile neck.
Shen Yu had been prepared for a long time; he leaned over to avoid the monster’s sneak attack, then stabbed at the monster with his backhand, the narrow and sharp blade in his hand flashing with a cold light.
This monster, the reincarnation of a bear child, still retained its own cruel habits. When killing people, it did not differ to the killing of a cat or a puppy. It liked to pinch the neck of a living creature and appreciate the little bit of suffocation of the prey in his hands.
The last time it had attacked, it’s victim had been Xu Tingting in a bathroom of the West Building. Shen Yu had deliberately gone to the bathroom in the East Building this time, to lure him out.
The scalpel in his hand had been quietly given to him by Anonymous during the day.
This blade was definitely one of the skills, piercing the monster’s body was as easy as cutting tofu.
With just one knife, Shen Yu nailed the little monster to death onto the mirror.
The already broken mirror was broken completely with a “crack” now, and there were splattered fragments everywhere, piercing Shen Yu’s palm.
He never expected that he would kick the iron plate 1 to kick the iron plate : metaphorically saying one gets jinxed. this time. The blood monkey-like monster suddenly let out a sharp roar, the body nailed to the wall squirming urgently, desperately trying to escape.
The sounds of flesh tearing and blood gushing followed, and the monster actually tore half of his body off, leaving an arm and a shoulder on the wall.
It fell on the ground with its remaining three limbs, tossing and jumping in the small space, trying to bypass Shen Yu, who was guarding the exit.
The sticky blood drops were like falling rain, staining the entire bathroom red.
Shen Yu’s eyes shrank slightly; from the corner of his eyes he glanced at the scalpel that was still nailed to the wall, then stepped forward and pulled it out, together with the flesh and blood that was still attached to it.
But he was still a little late with retrieving the blade; from behind him, there already came the whistling of the wheezing, foul breath in a close proximity, then the monster seemed to get ready to jump at him…..
“Poof!”
The sound of a knife piercing into a body.
Shen Yu slowly turned his head and saw Anonymous standing outside the corridor, watching everything with dark eyes.
The monster he had been in a fight to the death had been nailed to the wall by several scalpels, one of which had just penetrated its head.
Finally, it had died.
Shen Yu lightly breathed a sigh of relief, while Anonymous walked in silently and put away the scalpels.
The broken corpse of the monster fell to the ground with a snap, turning into a pool of sticky scarlet flesh, and a golden key slipped out of that mess.
This key was also engraved with a name – Wu Xiaobao.
Shen Yu picked up the key, his frown deepening even more than before: “We guessed it right. It really is a different key.”
He handed his scalpel and the key to Anonymous.
But Anonymous just stared at the cut on his palm, then said with a deep tone: “Keep this scalpel for yourself, you can use it to save your life in the future.” “Don’t take risks like this in the future.”
Shen Yu tilted his head slightly: “?”
Although they had found another key, his partner seemed inexplicably unhappy.
…
It was already halfway through the night.
The monster who scratched on the windows every night missed the appointment this time; he left them waiting and never showed up.
“Maybe the monster sensed the danger in the apartment, so he’s hiding for the time being?”
Shen Yu thoughtfully said: “Then if we want to draw it out, we have to use some other means.”
Anonymous did not speak, but silently walked to the window, stroked his palm on the black book and then pressed on the window glass.
Two small bloody handprints appeared on the transparent window.
Shen Yu slightly widened his eyes in surprise: “Whose blood is this?” The blood on Anonymous hands was not dry, and the voice was faint: “The blood of Wu Jianyi and Wu Xiaobao. When the two monsters died, I collected them. Parts of their flesh and blood was stored, and now it really came in handy.”
Shen Yu: “…Listening to that tone, are you still angry?”
Why can’t he be coaxed? He was harder to coax than a real elementary school student!
He had no other good way to deal with a child who had a temper. After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Yu could only repeat his trick and take out his mint candies again.
“Want to eat candy?” He shook the candy box and said painfully, “I have the last two candies left, one for you, eh?”
Anonymous: “…”
He turned his head indifferently, his tender cheeks even more bulging, maybe in anger.
“Bang!” The sudden impact broke the silence between the two in an instant.
Outside the dark window, a pair of pale feet had appeared. They were hanging in the air, hitting at the window with their toes.
The two bloody palm prints on the glass pane seemed to irritate the monster outside the window. The monster had diverted from the style of scratching and deceiving in the past, almost violently hitting on the window now, seeming to want to barge into the house.
“Wow!” The glass shattered, the pale soles of the feet were hooked onto the window frame, and a cold rope had snaked in from outside.
A loop was tied at the end of the rope, and after entering the house, it crawled straight for the necks of the two of them.
“This is an upper hanging rope?” Shen Yu was a little surprised. Instead of touching it directly with his hands, he moved a chair to press onto the rope.
But the upper rope twitched abruptly, and the wooden chair was instantly cut into two pieces.
If this rope loop was put on the neck of a living person, it would obviously cut through the neck bones of the living person ruthlessly.
The hanging rope still wanted to attack the two people, but Anonymous suddenly grabbed the end of the rope and started to severely pull it into the house: “Its body dare not enter the house, so let’s pull it in!”
Shen Yu hurried forward and they tried hard together. The two almost instantly used all of their strength to pull the reluctant monster hanging outside the window into the house.
It was the corpse of a pale and swollen woman. Her tongue was hanging out of her mouth and her eyes protruded from being strangled by the sling. After being dragged into the house, the body looked like a fish out of the water, and the struggling suddenly became less.
It was afraid of this apartment, and when it was so fearful to kill, it didn’t dare to enter the apartment’s room, only dared to wander around outside the apartment’s window.
At this moment, it looked at Shen Yu and Anonymous who’d dragged it in, with panic and resentment written in its eyes, and its long, scarlet and sticky tongue was still quietly leaning towards the feet of the two.
Anonymous stepped on that dishonest long tongue and leaned down blankly: “Zhang Lili has been waiting for a long time.”
“It’s time for the three of you to make atonement.” The blade flashed between his fingers, and the long scarlet tongue was cut off.
The woman’s body became stiff, and then fell straight to the ground, no longer moving. That pair of raised eyes were open in horror, all the fear from before death reflected in the eyes.
In its wide open mouth, a golden key glinted.
Shen Yu took out the key from under her tongue, and saw that the woman’s name was engraved on it.
Zhao Axiang.
Wu Jianyi, Wu Xiaobao, Zhao Axiang-a family of three had been assembled.
This time, the monster’s corpse did not turn into a pool of flesh like the previous two.
The two of them simply pulled up the sheets and stuffed the monster’s body under the bed.
Under the same bed, where the body of Boss Qian, who had been hanged, was already resting.
Fortunately, the murderer was with him this time.
After all this tossing, the night has passed, and the sky outside the window was shining gray.
The murderer of Zhang Lili is dead.
Should it be over?
Looking at the sky gradually brightening, Shen Yu murmured: “It’s already the fifth day.”
He opened the black book again.
[Thirteen brave cleaners stepped into the pink apartment. 】
【This is an unclean and sinful place. 】
【The cleaners cleaned up those dirty crimes. 】
【But, did you really clean it up? ]
He sighed and closed the book’s page: “Everything is not over; Zhang Lili’s murderers have not been all caught.”
Those … direct and indirect murderers!
…
It was dawn, and the survivors had gathered again.
This time, anyone could tell at a glance that the color of the apartment complex walls had become darker, and it didn’t look like the delicate pink it first had been; the entire West Building of the apartment complex was in a bloody red.
Out of fear of the red blood, many people now even wanted to move to the dilapidated East Building.
“Sister Cui, it’s been, it’s been the fifth day, we…Are we all going to die?” Xu Jiaojiao was so anxious that tears were falling; she was crying and hiccuping.
The little lovers, who have always had a low sense of existence, hugged each other in despair at this time, and promised each other that in the next generation they would be together.
Cuihua was guarding them, her eyes glancing at the silent East Building, but her mouth calmed everyone: “It’s okay, just wait for them to come out.”
Apparently Cuihua was very prestigious among the newcomers. The three newcomers finally cheered up and moved closer to her.
“What are you waiting for! The two of them haven’t come out yet, don’t you understand?”
The bald man who had been suppressed, but suddenly had the spirit to attack at this time, jumped up and shouted: “The two of them must have died last night. So they can’t come out and join us! They are dead!!!”
“I really don’t know the use of the clues you were looking for, you can’t even keep it! I had illusions about you before… It’s the fifth day now, and if we don’t think about it, we will all die here!” The bald man had accepted this before, but now the built up pressure all burst out; he was flushed and roaring, veins prominent on his neck: “I’ve no time, you will stay here waiting for me to find the bodies of the ghost of my own, I do not want to die!”
After saying that, he immediately turned to leave, his eyes red.
Cuihua, who was yelled at for some reason, was not angry, instead shouting at his back: “No matter where you think the female ghost’s corpse is hidden, don’t act rashly, you are looking for the wrong one!”
The bald man who was about to leave suddenly froze.
The reason why he dared to have such a bad temper was because he had already realized the approximate location of the female ghost’s body.
He would have ridiculed those who looked down on himself, then found the female ghost’s body, dealt with it by himself and left on his own, leaving the others to die in this story… that had been his original plan.
But then Cuihua had called after him, and pointed out that the location he wanted to visit was a fake?
It’s fake…how is it possible! She must be lying, because they could not find it, so she deliberately deceived him, wanting to know the exact location of the body from his own mouth… It must be so, he was right, others are jealous of him!
The bald man was fierce in his heart and left Cuihua’s words behind him, then accelerated his pace and quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Cuihua looked at the back of the escaped bald man, and finally sighed: “Okay! It’s all on your own, don’t blame it on anyone else.”
“What are you looking at?”
Shen Yu had finally come out of the East Building and gathered with the survivors, asking curiously.
“It’s nothing, it’s hard to persuade a dead ghost!” Cuihua curled her lips and looked at the two of them. “Why did you come out so late?”
“I didn’t sleep last night. When the sky was almost bright, I had to make up for a little sleep. Nourish the spirit.” Shen Yu said, spreading his hands.
In the palm of his hand, three golden keys gleamed.
“Let’s go! Let’s clean the apartment complex thoroughly.”
