Volume 23: Masquerade Chapter 2: Dead Corpse and Stone Statue

Luo Shisan and An Xueli carried Shenyu back into the room. After An Xueli covered her with a quilt, she said to Luo Shisan: "Thank you, let me bring her back with you."

"If you plan to take care of her, then I'll leave first."

Most of the residents in the apartment hate the rain. Her father is a demon, and she herself killed many residents before. So, I believe she will be isolated by many residents in the future. After all, people who live in this apartment will not overwhelm the sympathy and will also kill a murderer who has killed a resident.

An Xueli looked at Luo Shisan. He was willing to help bring Shenyu to the 25th floor. It was already very good and he could not count on anything.

"You don't need to sympathize with her too much," Luo Shisan looked at the pale face of Shenyu: "In this apartment, just take care of yourself."

After saying that, Luo Shisan left.

After walking out the door, he found Yin Ye waiting for him nearby. Luo Shisan walked over quickly, and then the two walked towards the elevator together.

"Next, try to arrange someone to monitor her," Yin Ye pressed the elevator button and said with a cold look: "You should be responsible for this matter, Thirteen."

"yes."

"And... find Liu Rong as soon as possible, and find a way to count the personnel in the alliance immediately and whether there are still missing people. This matter is very important and must be done as soon as possible. I think Kamiya Sayako should be upset about this matter now."

"Don't worry." Luo Shisan took out a packet of Soft China and held the cigarette. Yin Ye immediately handed the lighter to help him light it.

"Thank you. What do you think is happening?" Luo Shisan took a deep breath of cigarette, raised his head, looked at the display on the floor, and said, "Do you think this has anything to do with the Holy Days? Are we too tolerant of this sect?"

"The expansion scale of the Holy Day religion is beyond our imagination. At first, considering that this sect could appease a group of residents, it acquiesced to its existence, but now it seems that I am not considering it carefully." Yin Ye also pulled out a cigarette and lit it. "The three major alliances are still in a balance of power, but after the last two fragments of the Hell contract were released, the balance of power will be completely broken. It is not ruled out that some irrational radicals have already taken action..."

At this time, the elevator door opened.

The two walked into the elevator together, and then Yin Ye continued: "Send additional personnel to monitor the Shengu League and the Holy Ryu Sect. In addition, when entering the room, you must confirm whether anyone has entered and check if there are any eavesdropping devices."

"I will make arrangements." Luo Shisan nodded slightly, "I will choose some of the most loyal people to the league to be responsible for this matter. Don't worry, no matter what, I am the most loyal person to you."

Yin Ye leaned gently against the wall, took off the cigarette, and said, "Ro Shisan, as long as you can contribute to the alliance, I will not let you make any mistakes in the future."

Although Luo Shisan was calm on the surface, he was thinking in his heart: What he said was better than singing, Ke Yinye. Our alliance relationship was more fragile than tofu, and we just worked together temporarily for survival. Forget it, you are the one I admire, so I will help you for the time being. I hope you don’t let me down.

And An Xueli was still looking after Shenyu. Seeing her, she couldn't help but think of her sister.

"How should she live after waking up?" An Xueli looked at her with a sad expression, lowered her head, rubbed her eyes, and said, "Living in this apartment is already very cruel. She volunteered to enter the apartment for Bian Xingchen."

Many residents do not understand the love between Bian Xingchen and Pu Shenyu, and think that the relationship between the two is a deformed relationship, and they cannot understand it. Why did the two who had only been together for a few hours establish love, which allowed Shenyu to enter the apartment on their own initiative and make such a terrifying sacrifice? After all, she is different from Ke Yinye. How well she knows about the horror of the apartment? In this case, she is willing to enter the apartment and become a resident?

But An Xueli could understand that for people like Shenyu, the person she loved deeply is everything. The moment she met Xingchen, she obtained everything she lacked in her life. So at that moment, Xingchen filled her originally incomplete life. Because of this reason, she was willing to give everything to protect this love.

Too cruel. It's so cruel. She has made such a great sacrifice and almost gave her life, but she still can't get happiness. Even if she was wrong in the past, the punishment she received now should be enough, right? After all, what she is suffering now is a more cruel punishment than death!

With this in mind, An Xueli couldn't help but hope that Bian Xingchen was not dead. Maybe he was still alive, and he might be back to the apartment. Maybe his phone was lost on the mountain, and he might be on the way back to the apartment. So, Xingchen could still be alive.

"You have to get through it, Pu Shenyu." An Xueli lowered her head and looked at Shenyu, saying, "Maybe he is still alive. Don't give up, maybe there is still hope."

In this way, she kept waiting by Shenyu. An Xueli didn't have much deep feelings for Shenyu before, but at this moment she felt that at least there was someone to accompany her by this girl. Now, no resident in the apartment was interested in her life or death, at most, because she was worried that her loss of reason would be detrimental to the residents.

The scene of her sister dying in the bathroom with her wrist cut, flashing in front of An Xueli's eyes again. After that, she buried her sister's body alone, not letting anyone know about her death, pretending to be her sister living in this world. She almost lost herself, and then finished her sister's college studies and even went to work in the workplace as her sister.

She herself didn't know when the end was.

Until one day, the man she had been in a crush on in the company suddenly told her that he found that he had always liked her. At that moment, An Xueli fell into confusion.

It is impossible for her to marry this man as a sister. But, would she tear off the mask of disguise? In that case, she would be regarded as a pervert? In any case, he fell in love with "sister", not himself.

Sadly, An Xueli also fell in love with that man.

She wanted to love, but couldn't accept it. In the end, she didn't even know who she was. In that confused time, she stepped into this apartment during a walk. It seemed that it was God's will. She could disappear from the world from now on without playing the role of her sister or facing him anymore.

What a sad life.

The sun rises. The apartment has started a new day. The three major forces each sent representatives to hold a meeting. Because, eight missing residents appeared in the apartment!

Among these ten residents, three belong to the Holy Day Sect, three belong to the Shengu League, and two belong to the Yeyu League!

Such a big problem finally came to the table.

Every force has people missing!

"I think this issue must be investigated as soon as possible!" At the meeting, Ke Yinye said in a cold tone: "There are missing persons in all three major alliances, and this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible!"

"I'm sure it's missing?" At this time, a resident asked.

"Confirm." The person who spoke was Kamiya Sayako: "Those eight people are all backbone figures in the alliance, and they are responsible for important tasks. They will not go out casually without contacting us."

"I have a guess." At the meeting, a man with dark circles played with a pen in his hand and said, "Can it be that these eight people received a blood word, and they rushed to execute the blood word without notifying anyone?"

This sentence suddenly caused a thousand sensations. The blood words are currently completely irregular, and if they are published at this time, no one will feel strange.

And this man with dark circles is Li Yin!

This is his first time in many days to attend a resident meeting.

Li Yin ignored the other people's surprised gaze and continued, "As for hiding the reason for executing the blood words, it is also very simple. Because the sixth fragment of the hell contract was released in the blood words they need to execute. Do you need to say more?"

"You!" Kamiya Koya immediately stood up from the chair, and said with a change of expression: "You just said that they want to completely conceal and embezzle the sixth fragment of the Hell Contract?"

Suddenly, the residents were like a boiling oil pan, and they all said everything. The Hell Contract is an important thing for the residents as life, and it is a pass to leave this apartment! And if the sixth Hell Contract fragment is really released and completely concealed by these eight people, it is definitely no less than a bombshell!

"Stop me!" At this time, Luo Mizi, who was sitting next to Xu Tao, slapped the table hard, stood up, and said, "Lu Zhaotian and the other three are all believers who are extremely devout to the Holy Lord. Li Yin, what you said just now is insulting our Holy Day Sect!"

"Luo Mizi, the Holy Lord beside you didn't speak, but you had already spoken. Could it be that you want to interfere with the matter?"

A cold voice came, but the person who spoke was Ying Ziye!

As soon as this sentence came out, Li Yin's face also fluctuated! Midye's cold gaze shot straight at Luo Mizi, and continued: "And, Li Yin's words are indeed based on assumptions. Don't the residents sitting there feel the same way?"

There are also things that residents say at this time, and some even suggested that the apartment itself is haunted? But this statement is not taken seriously at all, because almost all residents completely believe that the apartment will never enter a ghost, which is as deep as a mathematical formula theorem.

The meeting also discussed the assumptions proposed by Li Yin, and finally decided to take turns to send people to work at the door of the apartment. Once any of these eight people returned to the apartment, they must be searched closely and must be inspected by the other two major alliances. Although there was a lot of controversy in the meeting, the three major alliances had to compromise for the sake of common interests.

After all, some people suspect that this is a conspiracy of a certain alliance, and they pretend that some of their alliance is missing in order to get rid of the suspicion. The three major alliances have not considered it from the supernatural perspective at all. After all, as long as people are in the apartment, they are absolutely safe. How can they die unless they violate the shadow curse?

After the meeting, when Li Yin walked out of the room, he suddenly heard a sound coming from behind.

"Li Yin."

Looking back, Li Yin saw Midnight not far behind him.

Her face also looked haggard. Despite this, she still showed a firm expression and said, "I understand, I will wait for you until you have the ability to protect me and have a way to protect yourself. At that time, you promise me in person that you can leave the apartment with me."

Li Yin looked at her like this. After a while, he finally spoke and said something.

"Be sure to eat on time and go to bed earlier."

Just, such a short sentence.

Finally, he turned around and walked all the way to the elevator.

After returning to the room, Li Yin locked the door and confirmed that no one at home had entered, he sat on the sofa in the living room. At this time, his eyes were filled with tears.

"Midnight..."

Let the tears flow down and wet the collars of her clothes. Li Yin was finally able to cry completely.

The sky is still flawless.

In another sky, there is no clear sunshine, only a gray cloud. A small town surrounded by countless strange stones is a house located in the center of the town.

The door of the study room that looked ragged was pushed open, and Mima walked in.

"Li Yin, no one, come in." After Mi Zhen finished speaking, she walked in quietly and came to the study. The row of Piaotian Sisi in front of her. "Mi Zhen pointed at Piaotian Sisi. Although most of the places we went were filled with dust, no spider webs appeared anywhere. In other words, there were no spiders in this town. Not only that, in such a dirty environment, there were no flies. There were no living things in this town."

He looked at the bookshelf and around the room, nodded and said, "That's true. If you say so... there is another problem. This town, no, the entire Night Valley is like this. There is only stones, but there is no place for flowers and plants, and there is no place for any creatures..."

"Next, you must be careful." Mizhen said softly: "There should be another ghost entering the town now. You must find the stone to break it as soon as possible, otherwise we will take the lead before finding the diary left by Pu Miling..."

At this moment, the sky outside was gloomy.

Suddenly, the sound of something being broken came downstairs!

Mima stopped immediately, and her pupils turned. Then, her eyes suddenly touched a table in front of her! There was a photo embedded in the photo frame on the table. In the photo, it looked like a family of three, a middle-aged couple and a girl about sixteen years old.

"It's here!" Mizhen immediately walked to a wall without hesitation and started to knock on it. She soon found that the wall was hollow!

Before he could move, he ran to the wall, punched it hard, and smashed the wall! Then, a corpse suddenly appeared inside the wall! No, strictly speaking, it was not a corpse, but a stone statue. What's strange is that the stone statue only has the lower part of the body, and it was made too vividly.

No, it’s not made... Mi Zhen is very clear that this stone statue used to be a living person. The upper part of the stone statue is outside the town!

"Break it!" Mi Zhen quickly looked around and looked for a handy tool, "I must break up the stone statue before the ghost came!"

"Squeak--"

Behind the study door came the sound of opening!
Chapter completed!
