Chapter 14… The Bloody Apartment (Final)

The surrounding walls were scarlet, like coagulated blood.

The bald man had come to Room 444 in the West Building. Full of nervousness, he pushed open the inconspicuous looking door, found that there was no danger behind it, and then dared to enter.

He picked out an axe from his black book and gestured with it in front of the blood-red walls around him.

“This male owner’s occupation was related to the construction site. He arranged and renovated the entire apartment complex. He would definitely hide the female ghost’s corpse secretly during the decoration process. The easiest way would have been to put it in the wall.”

He muttered. It seemed like self-assurance: “If the body was hidden in someone else’s house, it is impossible to guarantee that it will not be discovered. Only by keeping it in his own home can his plan be foolproof! Even if there was something abnormal, his family would not expose it…” The more he said it, the more he felt justified. The bald man gradually gained courage and slashed at the wall in front of him with an axe.

In a daze, he seemed to hear someone screaming in pain.

After he stopped, the sound disappeared again and the room was quiet, as if nothing had happened.

So he relaxed again, swung his arm, and slashed fiercely with his axe, one hit after another. The axe was blessed by a skill and was very sharp, and he quickly smashed the cement wall into a mess.

“It hurts…it hurts…” Amidst the slashing sounds of “dongdongdongdong”, a trace of a woman’s painful cry was drowned out by the noise.

The bald man started struggling to raise the axe in his hands, but he didn’t notice that the whole room was changing. The bloody red on the walls had gradually condensed, and the blood threads were sneaking out little by little.

He just felt that his axe was getting heavier and heavier, and getting thicker and thicker. The blade of the axe seemed to be wrapped in blood and it took a lot of effort to lift it up.

Until the bald man heard someone gently ask him in his ear: “Why are you cutting me?” It was a woman’s voice!

The bald man who had been immersed in excitement suddenly awoke. He stared at the notch he had cut out with a dumbfounded look. The place was no longer a wall, but a lump of squirming flesh and blood.

He backed away in horror and slammed his head into the layers of blood threads behind him, like a small bug stuck in a spider web.

The whole room had softened, and the blood-red walls had become throbbing flesh and blood, and a voice was asking over and over again: “Why did you cut my body, why did you cut my body, why did you…” The bald man was terrified by the sight in front of his eyes and wanted to scream, but countless blood threads came up, dragging him abruptly into the hole that he’d just cut out, filling the gap in the notch.

The bald man was squirming, struggling and screaming silently under the bloodstained pile.

But in the end, he went silent.

The room calmed down again. Everything returned to its original state, the walls were smooth and flat and there were no gaps or marks except for a darker spot.

It was calm as if nothing had happened.

…

“Are you sure this is the key?”

Cuihua asked.

The three of them were standing on the top floor of the West Building again, trying to use the key to open the mezzanine on the ceiling.

“These three keys represent three people, and the meaning behind each of the three people is different.”

Shen Yu replied: “Zhang Lili’s daughter is dead and she had no chance of being born. And Wu Jianyi, plus the son of his lover, can grow up healthily, play mischievously, and run around randomly in the corridors.”

“So of course she hates this situation, thus the anger has evolved into a key.” He picked out the key with the name “Wu Xiaobao” engraved on it. Then he passed it to Anonymous.

Anonymous gently turned the key around in the keyhole, only to hear a “click” and the mezzanine was opened.

It’s just that in the mezzanine, there was no corpse as they had imagined. The space inside was so small and narrow that there was no way it could hide the corpse of an adult.

Anonymous swept the inside with his hands, only to hear the sounds of “bam bam bam bam “, and a pile of bottles and cans fell off.

There was a pile of black plastic bottles with some pale, yellow powder inside, which seemed to be some kind of chemical reagent, with a label attached to the outside of the bottles.

Shen Yu picked up one and saw the name of the reagent written on the label.

“Luminol”.

“What the hell is this?”

He was hesitating, but then saw Cuihua exclaiming excitedly: “I know!”

“This is luminol. We used it to find evidence at crime scenes before. I understand what Zhang Lili meant. I know where her body is!”

Shen Yu: “Crime scene? Looking for evidence?”

Okay! It seems that Cuihua was definitely related to a government department in real life.

Anonymous raised his hand to stop the excited Cuihua: “Go on.”

Cuihua: “Even when the blood stains at a crime scene have been cleaned away, but as long as the luminol solution is sprayed, the iron molecules remaining from the blood will catalyze the effect of luminol. The luminous reaction is especially obvious in the dark.” (random lesson: this is true but even bleach, rust and coffee stains etc can cause positive results..so it’s not 100% reliable lol)

Shen Yu’s eyes also lit up slightly: “That is to say, we only need to…”

“Every corner in the apartment, don’t miss one.” Anonymous settled with the words, “Get everyone who’s survived in the apartment complex come here to help.” Sprinkling the solution all over the corners of the apartment was a big project.

While everyone was being busy, the sky had gradually dimmed.

In front of everyone’s surprised eyes, the blood-red walls of the West Building were gradually exuding a faint blue gleam.

All of them.

They don’t know when the doors of the apartment rooms had also opened one by one. All the residents living in the west building were standing in their doorways at this time, looking desperately at the blue-emitting walls without making a sound.

A heavy atmosphere began to permeate the apartment complex.

“Luminol reacts with blood stains, and it emits blue light.” Cuihua couldn’t help muttering as she stared at the foreground.

When Shen Yu heard this, his heart couldn’t help but feel tense.

He knew where Zhang Lili’s body was!

Ordinary people would only think that Wu Jianyi could’ve putZhang Lili’s body in a wall or up in the attic, but this method was actually not safe.

A corpse will always smell and rot, and it will also attract the attention of the police.

The best way was to make the body “non-existent.”

Wu Jianyi had a construction site of his own and there must have been various tools on the site, so it would’ve been very convenient to dispose of the corpse.

As a result, Zhang Lili’s body was chopped up, stirred into mashed meat, mixed with cement, and smoothed out on every part of the apartment complex during the renovation.

As a result, the body had disappeared.

The pink apartment was born.

“This is the end, this is the end of the apartment complex…”

At this time, the apartment manager had also come tremblingly, looking at the shining walls of the West Building, muttering like he was on the verse of collapse.

Shen Yu suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled at the others: “Let’s go to the East Building.” The newcomers were still ignorant, but Anonymous and Cuihua also reacted in time and hurriedly pulled all the newcomers away quietly.

But the administrator found them.

“They have the keys! The keys to leave the apartment complex! Catch them!!” The administrator roared hoarsely and pointed at them with trembling fingers like chicken claws.

Without the need to urge any more, everyone ran away, trying their best to get away from the West Building.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Behind them, countless doors of the apartments were smashed open. A group of residents looked like crazy dogs, showing sharp yellow teeth, gnashing behind them tightly and running already. They were unlike humans.

“Wait for us…”

“Give us back, give us the keys!”

“Stay, you stay too!”

“Don’t go…”

The crazy whispers and wailing behind them got closer and closer. There were countless more doors bursting open in front of them, and the hideous and strange household inhabitants were flooding like a tide.

Almost everyone will be surrounded!

But at this moment, the real blood wave came.

The red blood strands peeled off the walls, like sheets of sticky cobwebs, and like turbulent waves of blood, surging in the direction of the residents, were sweeping everyone inside.

“I’m here, I’ve been here, I’ve always been by your side… How can you get rid of me!” The woman’s resentful voice was heard clearly in the ears of all residents.

The residents seemed to be like ants tumbling in the boiling water, struggling and screaming, but in the end they could only sink gradually.

But the sea of blood bypassed Shen Yu and the others.

Seizing this unique moment, Shen Yu, Anonymous, and Cuihua grabbed the frightened newcomers and escaped from the West Building in the next breath.

Occasionally, a few households who were lucky enough not to be swallowed up by a sea of blood followed them like bereaved dogs.

“Where are we going now?” Cuihua asked.

“East Building, room No. 444, hurry up!”

Shen Yu lead the way ahead and took out another key from his pocket.

No. 444 had originally been Zhang Lili’s home, but as a third party, Zhao Axiang had occupied it grandiosely while pushing out the original hostess out of the house, so the key engraved with the name “Zhao Axiang”…should be for the 444 that couldn’t be opened before. Fortunately, the door of room No. 444 was near. Shen Yu pierced the key into the keyhole and turned it as fast as possible.

“Wow!” The door opened.

Anonymous and Cuihua stuffed the panting newcomers behind them all into the room, then immediately closed the door and blocked it.

The residents behind them were now shut outside, and they all lay on the door, beating and roaring frantically.

The apartment manager was among them. At this time, he was desperately clawing at the door, screaming in a hoarse voice: “Open the door, I can give you a generous reward… You can do anything you want, let me go in!” The door of the room was smashed at and rattled.

The newcomers in the room were in a mess. Cuihua tried to calm down these panicked people, then turned her head and quickly said: “We still have a key and the last door.”

If they open the last “door”, they can escape from this horror story.

Anonymous was pressing against the entry door of the house while Cuihua held the newcomers. There was chaos inside and outside the house, and the final exit was still unknown!

Shen Yu took a deep breath, poured the last mint out of the sugar box and threw it into his mouth, letting the cold sweetness spread on the tip of his tongue.

He opened his black book again.

[Thirteen brave cleaners stepped into the pink apartment. 】

【The deceased stayed in the apartment and there were six living.】

【They cleaned the apartment, now it’s time to leave. 】

【But be careful, she wants to leave here, too! 】

She wants to leave here, too…Who is “she”?

Was it the administrator and residents outside the door?

No, the book said “she”, not “they” or “them”.

Then who else wants to leave?

While thinking quickly, Shen Yu scanned the room.

When he glanced over at the closet in the room, he paused.

There was a heavy, solid wood wardrobe. It looked very sturdy, big enough to hold a person, and it was made of quality workmanship, leaving almost no gaps to breathe through between the parts.

This is the closet that Zhang Lili suffocated inside of?

The meaning behind the three keys was different. Wu Xiaobao’s key opened the mezzanine and Zhao Axiang’s key opened the door to this apartment.

And what does Wu Jianyi, who killed Zhang Lili, beat her and deprived her of freedom, symbolize?

He took out the last key and opened the closet with a “click”.

The closet was empty, but the wooden boards were covered in blood-stained scratches.

Before dying, Zhang Lili left these scratches in despair, in the agony of suffocation.

There was a black hole at the bottom of the closet and it was impossible to see where it would lead.

Anonymous, who was blocking the door, glanced back and then whispered: “The exit is open, you go first!”

Cuihua did not refuse and pushed the newcomers who were still hesitating to the closet, then she kicked those who dared not jump.

After the newcomers fell into the closet, they all disappeared.

Cuihua also jumped in afterwards.

At this moment, the residents who were still smashing on their door outside suddenly started to scream, one after another.

The blood threads had swallowed the entire West Building, and had now chased them to the East Building and were once more swallowing a few new fish.

However, after the settlement of all the residents, the blood did not leave. Instead, it wandered outside the door 444, tentatively drilling into the gaps around the entrance.

Anonymous turned his head and looked at Shen Yu: “Not leaving yet?”

Shen Yu: “What are you going to do?”

Anonymous was holding a blade and cutting off the blood threads from the entrance hole one by one: “Zhang Lili wants revenge, and we have already avenged her. But she still wants to get out of here through the exit.” In the pink apartment complex, not only the residents in the apartments are trapped, but Zhang Lili is also trapped in here.

She is the apartment, and the apartment is her.

“On the other side of the exit is our world, I can’t let her invade our world, you go first.” Anonymous said again.

As he was talking, more blood threads had penetrated inside, and the thin door of the house was crumbling.

“Our world?”

Shen Yu murmured, but didn’t ask any more, just took a deep look at him, then turned and jumped into the closet.

A second before falling into the endless darkness, he heard the sound of the door cracking.
