Just like players are not allowed to fight each other.

Once the rules are violated.

This will immediately attract attacks from the roots of the Demon Flower, which are spread throughout the entire area.

But as soon as Phoenix swallowed Mrs. Xiu Rui whole, it was as if nothing had happened, as if the Demon Flower had tacitly agreed that 'it' could attack other tenants.

"..."

Su Bai was completely baffled.

Is it because the rules in the wealthy neighborhoods are different now than they were later, and there are no longer rules prohibiting tenants from harming each other?

Or is it simply because Phoenix is ​​so special...?

"Are you feeling unwell?"

He asked tentatively.

Phoenix was now as satisfied as a child who had received a candy reward. "The source of the noise is finally gone! Whew! I can go back to sleep now!"

That's all.

Her face once again revealed undisguised pure malice.

"...It would be even better if we could eat that guy who walks around outside every day too!"

Su Bai knew she was referring to Lou Wei.

I wish you success soon.

He said.

Mrs. Xiu Rui had already been disposed of harmlessly, so the reason for her return was no longer so important. Su Bai then took out a diary from his backpack.

"By the way, Miss Phoenix, this diary is the one you left behind."

He asked the question.

"How did this diary end up in your hands?" Phoenix's face immediately turned wary after she saw the notebook in his hand. Her eyes widened, and she said in a stern tone, "You didn't peek at the contents, did you?!"

"Of course not, I'm a very professional security guard... uh, a guard."

Su Bai shook his head.

Phoenix glared at him suspiciously, then hooked a few slender, blood-stained roots around Su Bai's arm, took the diary from him, and quickly flipped through it in front of her face. Suddenly, she became excited.

"So that's how it is... I made a mistake in one step. No wonder he still won't accept me...!"

"I want to do it again, just one more time..."

He muttered to himself.

Her bloated body began to wriggle impatiently toward the door, as if she wanted to return to her room. Once half of her body had squeezed out of the door, her head suddenly emerged from the back of her body, covered in murky mucus, and looked at Su Bai with hopeful eyes.

"Can you give me a hand?"

"you say."

Su Bai nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification sounded in his ear.

[Hint: Do you accept the unique hidden quest – Unrequited Love?]

Unrequited love

【special】

Difficulty: ★★★☆

[Note: Ever since meeting that person, a budding romance has blossomed in Phoenix's heart. However, after several unsuccessful attempts to win her heart, Phoenix, frustrated and angry, decides to use some special means... to help her retrieve a lock of Odis's hair and a small amount of her blood, or perhaps to fulfill Phoenix's wish through other means.]

[Reward: Unknown]

[Punishment: Phoenix will henceforth consider you an enemy unit]

[Time Limit: 72 hours]

...

"I can't leave here, please help me finish this! ... I will pay you a sufficient reward."

Phoenix pleaded earnestly with her eyes.

"no problem."

Su Bai agreed without much hesitation.

“However…” he continued, “there is something I want to remind you, Miss Phoenix, love requires effort from both sides. If you try to win his heart this way, it will probably backfire.”

"I don't care!"

Phoenix immediately seemed to have been hit where it hurt.

She went into a frenzy again, shouting, "I want him, by any means necessary! ... If you can't, I won't let anyone who knows my secret live in this world!"

She left a warning with a dangerous look before disappearing back into her room.

Love always makes people blind.

Su Bai shook his head slightly.

He glanced at the mission description and saw that the target's location was a place he had visited before—the Goethe Theatre.

I can go there when I have some time.

The hidden missions with a difficulty level of three and a half stars are still worth doing.

Moreover, the old lady left behind a mysterious number before she died, and he hasn't found any clues about it yet; it's also in that area.

He even had a third reason to go back.

Search for survivors.

The West End, where incense helps suppress madness, is probably the easiest place in the city to find survivors.

After Phoenix left.

Su Bai quickly searched the room, which looked as if it had been ravaged by a raging storm.

He didn't have much hope, but to his surprise, he actually found some unusual things.

[High-potency wilting solution]

【Props】

[Level: Excellent]

[Note: After use, this product will cause the roots and stems of plants in an area to wither and become unable to regenerate. Caution: This product is highly toxic; do not apply near water sources!]

...

【Purifying Leech】

【Props】

[Level: Excellent]

[Note: This is a very special type of insect egg. After hatching, it has a very short lifespan. It can be ingested and used to suppress the outbreak of negative status effects during the lifespan of the Cleansing Leech.]

...

herbicide……?

And an insect egg.

Su Bai looked at the two small bottles in his hand, his thoughts unsettled.

The purpose of the Cleansing Leech is clearly to suppress the outbreak of the Frenzied Virus.

This was the first time he had ever seen this thing.

Although the method of use is somewhat hard to accept, the effect is indeed good. This shows that although the Madness Virus is terrifying, it is not truly incurable. He has already seen three ways to suppress the Madness Virus.
