Chapter 21: Feeding Apartment Building (1) (Game Forum) [Emergency...
Bai Bei had already prepared to lie down and relax, thinking that the coming weekend would be one without any unexpected disturbances.
However, the following Saturday morning, Bo Bei saw those comments again. He had almost grown accustomed to the constant barrage of text, so he simply looked away, his gaze shrugs off, and instead glanced at Shi Yu, who had woken up early for a rare occasion.
Good morning, Xiaoyu. How's your exam preparation going? Good morning, my wife. The human-machine guy is quite charming today.
[What are you trying to do, you bastard? I finally got to make an appearance and you're only drawing a chibi version! The little guy is cute, but I want to see the full-scale, handsome face (screaming)]
[It seems like my brother has been set up by capital. Xiaoyu, do you have any clues?]
Bo Bei, the hillman in the eyes of the barrage: "..."
"The fridge's empty. I was supposed to go to the supermarket after get off work yesterday, but I forgot." Bai Bei opened the fridge and pulled out a freshly opened bag of frozen buns and wontons. "These are the only two left. Which one do you want? There's a breakfast shop downstairs if you don't want to go."
Shi Yu was too lazy to go downstairs, and it was already half past nine. He just wanted to eat something to fill his stomach. Lunch would be soon. "I want wontons! Do you have water?"
"It's just cooked, go pour it yourself." Bai Bei said this and went into the kitchen.
No matter how bad Bai Bei's cooking skills were, he would not be unable to handle such a simple frozen breakfast. The number of wontons should be enough, and he also steamed two steamed buns.
When he brought out two servings of wonton soup, Shi Yu was sitting at the dining table, scrolling through his phone until he was drowsy.
Bai Bei asked without surprise: "You stayed up late again?"
"No way." Shi Yu said confidently, "I went to bed just after midnight. I didn't stay up very long, so it doesn't count."
Bai Bei: "...eat yours."
[I'm dying of laughter, Xiaoyu, why do you have to mess with me?]
[Brother: I got angry for a moment]
[It's over, Shibao. Next time, your wontons might not have any seasoning. I wonder if you'll still be able to smile when that happens.]
Scattered barrages of comments filled the gaps during breakfast, and at a certain moment the number suddenly began to surge. When Bai Bei noticed it, something was already vaguely wrong.
[Ah, has an A-grade ghost story arrived? I remember that among the unlucky people who were chosen by the sentient being to parasitize, there seemed to be someone who posted their experience online.]
[That strange story was able to crawl through the internet to the other side, my god, that's outrageous. And in the sequel, that person is a fan of The Ninth Day... He wouldn't post it on the game forum, would he?]
[It's definitely going to be a big mess. This ghost story needs to be nurtured. It can't be killed until it reaches the mature stage, otherwise the people it's parasitized will die together. At the beginning, it's so weak that you can be stepped on to death. Later, it directly becomes S-rank and it's impossible to play. The casualties in the previous game's operations department were tragic.]
Xiao Song was offline because of this strange story... I hope Captain Xie was also seriously injured... The U people even took the strange story away after provoking me. I was so angry at that time.
[Phi God, please come this time too, okay? Can the sequel not follow the same path as the previous one? I beg you, old thief, TT]
Bai Bei's gaze paused.
"What's wrong, brother? Is there something on my face?" Shi Yu, whose face was mostly blocked by the barrage, looked a little strange. Bai Bei shook his head to indicate that it was nothing, and picked up the remaining steamed bun with chopsticks.
After eating, Shi Yu actively took on the responsibility of washing the dishes. Bai Bei leaned against the door frame and watched for a while, then turned around and went back to the bedroom.
He turned on his computer, found the official gaming community of The Ninth Day on the browser's favorites page, and clicked on it. The default interface of the forum was the most popular discussion posts, with different channels listed next to them, focusing on updates, strategies, live broadcasts, etc.
Bai Bei clicked on the forum section with a clear goal, and the mouse wheel slid quickly. After searching for a long time, he finally found a topic post with a particularly abrupt title.
[Urgent help! I encountered a game ghost story in real life! !]
First of all, I would like to explain that the author of the post just graduated this year and plans to stay in City A to develop. He doesn't have much money and can only rent an apartment. When it comes to apartments, everyone should think of the copy of the breeding apartment building. Many strange things that happened later were exactly the same as this copy.
1st floor host: [Anonymous]
Everything was fine at first, but one day when I got home from get off work, there was suddenly a shrine in the living room.
2nd floor host: [Anonymous]
[Picture] I'm not lying to you, it really exists.
3rd floor
Oh my god, how come it really exists? It looks exactly like the shrine in the dungeon. Even the patterns carved on it are similar. It's too authentic.
4th floor
No money to buy a house but money to order custom-made? This craft looks like it will cost thousands. Oh, it's another scam.
5th floor host: [Anonymous]
I really didn't lie to you... This thing just popped up out of nowhere and I have no money to buy it. Let me show you the balances of all the payment apps and bank cards [Picture] [Picture] [Picture].
6th floor host: [Anonymous]
I was so scared that I froze in place, breaking out in a cold sweat. I didn't dare stay in the house any longer and went straight to knock on doors to ask other neighbors if they had this shrine - the answer was yes.
I knocked on the door one by one, asking everyone on the entire floor, and the response was the same. They all looked terrified.
7th Floor
Damn, isn't this the start of a farming apartment building? Players are randomly matched with apartment rooms, and the only thing they have in common is the shrine.
8th Floor
The memories of the dead suddenly began to attack me, and the nightmare copy that I had fought so hard and reopened countless times was still exerting its power.
9th floor host: [Anonymous]
This shrine gave me a creepy feeling, and I intuitively felt that I couldn't leave it in the room, but the shrine was too big for one person to move, so I asked my neighbor for help and agreed with him to help each other move the shrine outside the apartment.
But when I came back, the shrine was still in the living room—even though my neighbor and I had just taken it to the garbage station. My scalp tingled, and when I heard a knock on the door, I ran over and opened it. I saw my neighbor panicking and saying that the shrine was still in the house.
My only thought at that time was that I couldn't get rid of it.
10th Floor
I have to admit that I was shocked when the OP successfully created an account. I got goosebumps in broad daylight.
11th Floor
Is someone playing a prank? It's so popular on the ninth day and there are so many haters. Have you tried throwing it again?
12th floor host: [Anonymous]
I tried it, it didn't work, but I went back to the house and saw the shrine.
It couldn't be a prank. The shrine is very large and tall, and we didn't forget to lock the door when we moved it. Besides, who has the energy and money to give it to everyone on a floor of an apartment building?
13th Floor
Have other people asked this? But I think it’s best not to ask. If you ask and the answer is yes, I’ll be devastated.
14th floor host: [Anonymous]
After the shrine appeared, all kinds of strange things started to happen. At night, I always felt like something was standing by my bed. I could hear screams that I had never heard before, and there was even the sound of dripping water coming from the bathroom.
15th floor host: [Anonymous]
I didn't dare go back to the apartment. I booked a hotel that day and planned to stay there for a few days. After all, it takes time to choose a new apartment. Maybe because I was too tired in the past few days, I fell asleep quickly on the bed and then woke up in the middle of the night.
The darkness made it impossible for me to see anything clearly. I stared at the chandelier on the ceiling and felt that the shape of the lamp seemed different.
I turned on the light and found that the surrounding layout had changed into that of an apartment... I didn't know if the scene had changed or if I was really back in the apartment.
Why me...why me?
16th Floor
I hope it's made up. I accept it as a hype story, as long as it's not true.
17th Floor
There's no way to escape from this. This is not just a prank. Oh my god, it's so weird.
18th Floor
Why don’t you ask someone to take a look at it? It feels like you are being possessed by something.
19th floor host: [Anonymous]
I asked for it, and asked for it from everyone I heard about and friends recommended. I also went to the temple many times and bought a lot of amulets and peach wood swords, but they were of no use.
20th Floor
Back off, back off, dirty things! Back off, back off!
21st floor host: [Anonymous]
And I remember that the original name of our apartment building was Jinyang Apartment Building, but after those things happened I couldn’t search for this apartment building, so I finally tried the name Shengyang Apartment Building.
...found it.
22nd Floor
Holy crap!! OP, you're from City A, right?! I'm a local, and I thought you were talking about some horror story, so I just searched it, but I actually found it!
I'm pretty sure this apartment building has never existed before! During the time I was obsessed with The Ninth Day, I searched for breeding apartments several times out of boredom and never found one. But this time... I really feel something is wrong. I'm starting to believe you, OP.
23rd Floor
Don't scare me, I'm a local too. I just searched and found it. It's too scary. Why don't you call the police or go to the temple and ask if they can take you in for the night? Run!
24th Floor
What's the point of calling the police? Guns are useless in real life for something like this!
25th floor host: [Anonymous]
The mental states of several of my neighbors have deteriorated... Sometimes I see them in a trance, but worrying about others is worse than worrying about myself. I feel like I may not be able to survive and may die soon.
26th Floor
Don't! OP, don't... maybe there's a way. There's always a way out in game dungeons. There must be a way in reality!
27th Floor
In the game, players have panel values and props to support themselves. In reality, if the sanity value drops rapidly and there are no props to restore it, it’s lucky that they don’t go crazy. How can they save themselves?
28th floor host: [Anonymous]
There's nothing on top of the shrine, but I feel like there's something inside it... just like in a game. I don't know if it's an illusion caused by excessive pressure, but occasionally I feel like I can hear some noises, as if something is about to be born.
29th floor host: [Anonymous]
It seems like a week has already passed since the shrine appeared... If it's nine days in the game and nine days in reality, I probably don't have much time left...
30th Floor
The flow rate in reality and in the game might be different! OP, hold on! What should I do? I'm so anxious! I'm so anxious!
31st Floor
It's obviously a scam, and you all believed it? The poster will probably say that he wants to find a master but has no money, and then put a payment code and say that he needs to raise funds, so you will be honest.
32nd Floor
But what the OP said doesn't sound like a fabrication...and the story of raising livestock in apartment buildings really exists, so I don't think he's a liar.
33rd Floor
There is indeed something in the shrine. Including today, it will be born in two days and will be raised successfully soon.
34th Floor
Surprise! Shuwen himself has appeared! Catch, catch, catch! After all this time, I heard you weren't live streaming today so you came to read a horror story!
35th floor host: [Anonymous]
Two days... should be enough to deal with the aftermath.
36th floor host: [Anonymous]
Why me...I don't want to die. Save me, save ...
37th Floor
I'm really a little scared... Are you okay, OP?
38th Floor
According to the game, his sanity value is almost zero. According to the description, the things in the shrine have tortured him a lot in the past two days. In reality, there is no prop to restore his sanity, and he is on the verge of going crazy.
39th Floor
Do you believe this is real?! No, how could you believe it? No, no, no, it's really scary!

Shuwen stopped talking. Bai Bei didn't expect that he would also see this post. He stared at the comment that kept repeating the words "save me". The poster was obviously only one step away from collapse. He moved the mouse and clicked into the private message dialog box.
