Chapter 272 Bloody Apartment
At this moment, a thirty-story apartment building is located on the edge of the pedestrian street...
The girl from the insomnia rescue center came to the gate with a box in hand.
She was introduced by an accountant friend and heard that this apartment could be temporarily used as a place to live, and there was no charge...
Living in the "Insomnia Assistance Center", the cost of that business district is very high, and I also paid a rent in advance...
Now, she has almost no cash flow left.
I heard that you can live in this apartment as long as you abide by the rules here.
At the same time, it can also provide a shelter effect similar to real estate.
On some floors, you can even buy edible items at cheaper prices.
She heard that there was such a good thing, and she still had some doubts in her heart.
But then, more and more players settled in this apartment, and the news that came out was indeed true.
And that friend... has known me for a month.
In the world of Weird Era, it is not easy to have such a long-term fate.
As soon as she arrived at the gate, she immediately saw her friend, wearing pajamas, standing next to a withering locust tree, looking a little panicked, looking around.
"Nine-tailed fox, hello."
Seeing an acquaintance waiting at the door, she immediately stepped forward with a smile on her face.
However, when the nine-tailed fox saw the other party for the first time, he scratched his head in embarrassment, hesitated for a few moments, and said:
"Well... Xiao Ling... if I say there is something wrong with this apartment recently... do you still want to move in?"
Xiao Ling was stunned. How come he had just stepped in with his front foot, but before his back foot stepped in, he said the problem?
Have you awakened to a strange physique that causes problems wherever you go?
Seeing her old friend's pale face, which didn't look like she was joking, she suppressed the relaxed expression on her face and asked with a slight solemnity:
"Maybe something happened?"
The nine-tailed fox took a deep breath and then said:
"Originally, this apartment should have followed the rules, so there would be no problems."
"But I don't know why... When I go to the toilet in the past few days, I always feel as if there is a face... pressing... against that position..."
"However, I looked down and saw that there was nothing in the toilet, but for some reason, that feeling actually happened."
"It's been like this several times in a row..."
"This has made me feel very confused recently... as if I have provoked something dirty."
"But I asked other players in the apartment who were able to communicate, and they didn't seem to have such a strange experience."
"So, I'm a little hesitant now as to whether I should ask you to come live here."
After hearing what the nine-tailed fox said, Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, smoothed over his thoughts, and then said:
"That is to say...this matter is just a bit strange. It only happened to you, but it has not caused any substantial harm yet, right?"
"Any strange incident cannot be underestimated..." the nine-tailed fox said with a serious face, "I experimented with my recording ability and found that this thing does not seem to belong inside the apartment, nor is it within the normal scope of occupation."
"However, it is not an illusory feeling, but a real thing. This has been verified by my recording ability."
"But what it is, we still don't know yet."
"You know...the most dangerous thing in the strange era is the unknown!"
"Maybe some rules that shouldn't be triggered are triggered, and then it's completely over!"
I have to say that Xiaoling felt that Jiuweihu's vigilance and consideration were indeed thoughtful and correct.
It's just... I finally got here, but when I heard that my friend encountered something wrong, he was about to run away. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?
Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what are your plans next?"
The nine-tailed fox sighed: "What else can I do...I was laid off by this shabby company just last month...Now it's hard to even get food, let alone rent."
"Although that thing is very weird, at least it will not pose a fatal threat to me for the time being. Other neighbors have not encountered similar things, so let's leave it at that for the time being."
"Forget it, this crappy company doesn't have any good stuff anyway. They only sent me a pot in the first month. However, it couldn't be directly integrated into the profession of [chef]. I even exchanged it for a few candied chestnuts. ...I found out later that this is a relatively elementary semi-characteristic item!”
"If I had known if I had pinched it a few more times, I should have been able to exchange for more resources. As an accountant, my profession is to settle accounts. It is really shameful to make such a loss-making transaction! How shameful!"
Xiao Ling listened to the nine-tailed fox's complaint and couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but thinking about the difficult situation the other party was in, it seemed that it was not very kind to laugh like this, so she might as well hold it in...
"Okay, since you won't move away, then I don't have to be afraid of anything." Xiao Ling said with a smile, "If you have any problems, send me a text message quickly, and maybe I can rush over and save you. One life.”
The nine-tailed fox blinked and said doubtfully:
"Are you really going to move into this apartment? Aren't you afraid that something strange will happen here?"
Xiao Ling sighed: "Stop talking...I recently lived in the pedestrian street and encountered a strange incident. There is no safe place in the world."
"What kind of weird incident?" The Nine-Tailed Fox was startled. She didn't know that there was a weird incident in the place where her friend originally lived.
Xiao Ling sighed and said, "What other weird incident could it be? It's the puppet weird incident that has been famous recently on the pedestrian street."
"You actually encountered this kind of weird incident!"
This time, it was the Nine-Tailed Fox's turn to be surprised.
As a player who is used to surfing, she certainly knows that the most notorious incident on the pedestrian street recently is the puppet weird incident.
It is said that many players have died in the puppet weird incident...
Even with the protection of the real estate, there is still a possibility of problems.
And the players who have problems often leave a weird, weird and ugly puppet in their real estate.
It is said that the specific solution to the puppet weird is still unknown, and even the source has not been found, which is similar to the spreading weird incident.
Many players are looking for a solution...
According to some players with extensive network resources and rich experience, the data is statistically analyzed...
The probability of death from encountering the puppet weird incident has reached more than 80%!
This is an extremely dangerous story.
For ordinary players, if they encounter this kind of story, the chance of death is very high.
However, the Nine-Tailed Fox never thought that the reason why this friend who had been in contact for so long moved here was to encounter the puppet story?
What is even more surprising is... with her strength, she can still stand here?
How did she solve this problem?
The Nine-Tailed Fox subconsciously blurted out the doubts in her heart.
When Xiao Ling recalled the experience of that period, she always felt that it was not real. She thought about it, and then she dreamed of the strange experience of working in a puppet factory, and found the help of a magical shopkeeper. In the end, the real estate miraculously became the other party's, but the puppet story that troubled her recently really disappeared.
The sleep in recent days has been very good, even normal, as if she had recovered from cancer instantly, full of incredible feelings.
Of course, the fact that the shopkeeper knew Saint Chenxi and seemed to be related to the Lieyang Church was not blurted out.
After all... if someone can be connected with a player of this level, he is likely to be a big shot on the leaderboard.
Even though the Nine-Tailed Fox is a friend he has known for a long time, out of respect, there are some information that cannot be disclosed, so he should not say too much, just stop at the right point.
"These days... there are still players who are willing to intervene in other strange events?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly felt a little confused, a little magical, and a little incredible.
As time goes by, the remaining players who can survive all know how to abide by the rules of this game.
The saintly, unlucky, rookie, and those who can't follow the rules of the game were basically eliminated last month.
The players who stayed behind are either elites, or lucky ones who can have a stable living environment, or old and smooth old dogs...
According to the normal logic of players, ensuring their own survival is the first priority.
In this case, rashly contacting the crisis encountered by other players will only increase the possibility of falling into crisis.
Unless... he is the top boss who thinks he can solve most of the rules of the ghost story and get information clues related to the game dungeon and special items from it, otherwise, who would be idle to care about such things?
Xiao Ling thought for a while and said:
"I can go to that restaurant to eat something another day, and ask the boss if he is interested in solving your problem."
"Well... okay..." The nine-tailed fox nodded.
From what he said, the boss is still a restaurant owner?
These days, have chefs started to use spatulas to shovel out monsters?
That's right... I heard that some of the more ruthless restaurants on the pedestrian street still use aboriginals as ingredients for cooking.
That's not using spatulas to deal with monsters, but using them as ingredients for cooking!
I can only say... this is the level of the boss!
Then, the nine-tailed fox led Xiao Ling into the apartment, and as he walked, he instructed:
"There are still many empty rooms in this apartment. You need to go to the front desk and get the room number from a front desk lady named Sally. From now on, that will be your residence."
"Although you don't need to pay rent to live in the apartment, you need to pay for the corresponding water and electricity bills."
"You must return to your residence before midnight, otherwise you can't come back, even if you encounter danger outside, don't come back!"
"The fourth and fifth floors are dining areas, but you can only enter from noon to two o'clock, and from six to eight o'clock in the evening. You can't enter at other times."
"After returning to the apartment, you can't look in the mirror at the top of the hour..."
"Tenants need to abide by the activities on the floors they can go to, and can't go to the staff area, office area and other floors..."
At the gate of the bloody apartment, the nine-tailed fox and Xiao Ling walked side by side, along the barren flower beds on both sides, and gradually walked in...
…………
Early in the morning, half past six.
Chen Ye walked through the pedestrian street and saw several shops with increasing customer traffic.
In addition to the outlines of some players, even some natives were attracted to them.
"It seems that the overall strength of the players is improving."
“We can use some features to attract customer traffic.”
“This month’s list is quite competitive!”
Today is already the fifth day.
The assets of Shenli Yinghua and Hua Shao, who are ranked first and second on the list, have both exceeded the 1.5 million mark.
Of course, because I have made very good progress in the past few days, I am ranked eighth with an asset value of nearly 1.2 million.
His eyes moved and he realized that An Ye had an asset value of 1.4 million and had already caught up with the progress of the previous two.
It seems... there may be a big storm coming in the underground world recently!
Chen Ye did not go towards the exit of the pedestrian street, crossed Longhua Avenue, followed the road on the bridge, passed the underground entrance, and entered the underground world.
At the entrance, there were already strong members of the mob guarding it.
In order to avoid unexpected situations...
Chen Ye didn't want to expose his strength at this juncture and conflict with the thugs again.
After all...in the same position, I had already solved a [Man in the Mirror], and one of the members - [Human-Faced Spider] Zhao Gao, also signed a [Devil Contract] and became a spy he sent in …
If the same incident happened again in the same position, wouldn't it be equivalent to exposing his identity as a spy?
If you choose another entrance to the underground world, the location is too far, and it is difficult to control...
The safest way is to go to Xijiang Pier and reach the underground world through the lightless sea of dead bodies.
"correct!"
"I almost forgot...last time I said I would recruit a group of labor force for those Poseidon descendants."
"Let's go to Lieyang Square first!"
As soon as Chen Ye stepped forward and was about to walk towards Xijiang Pier, he suddenly remembered this matter.
He paused slightly and turned back to the Honesty Restaurant. He frowned slightly when he saw several customers who were suspected to be players, wearing the identities of [Dark Chef] and [Cooker], entering his restaurant.
"The luck aura of these guys is not very good... However, their aura is not strong, and they seem to be suppressed by the King Realm. I will leave this matter to my employees."
Chen Ye probably had a premonition that something unpleasant might happen in the restaurant, but he did not choose to intervene. Instead, he let Wang Jing find a way to solve it on his own.
After all, as an in-house employee, you must have certain abilities.
You can’t just let yourself handle any problems you encounter, right?
It didn't take long.
Chen Ye's figure arrived at Lieyang Square.
