Chapter 23: Feeding Apartment Building (3) “Don’t show your wounds…”
This apartment building is designed with ten households and three elevators. The number of people is not that exaggerated, so the inspection does not take too much time. In the end, two residents on the tenth floor were confirmed dead, four were in a coma, and the remaining few, except Xiao Gu, were not in the apartment building.
"The situation on the other floors is relatively better." Fei specially sent Shen Que over not only to check on the residents, but mainly because of the shrine. "That thing needs too many offerings to come out. The residents downstairs have fainted."
Chen Que continued, "Also, U's people have been here before. Some residents' consciousnesses are being manipulated, so we can't get any useful information out of them. But it's not hard to guess who did it."
He is a counselor who is good at control. After all, most members of U are highly offensive and better at combat, and very few are involved in the spiritual field. However, he should not be the only one. There may also be magicians suitable for raising ghost stories.
"I just ran into a magician at the subway station the other day." Fei was referring to the strange story on Line 5. Shen Que also knew about it. He sneered at this and said, "Is U bankrupt, or is Wine no longer able to command those members?"
Accustomed to tit-for-tat confrontation in the game, Shen Que still has no good feelings towards U. Moreover, judging from Fei's attitude, their antagonistic relationship with U is unlikely to change.
Shen Que was about to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden excited shout from the top of the stairs: "...Brother Fei!"
The two people standing at the corner of the stairwell looked at the same time. The breathless Xiao Gu didn't have time to rest. He rushed straight to Fei, passing Chen Que on the other side. "Everything is arranged!"
Fei hadn't expected that he could actually find his way here. After all, he hadn't considered Xiao Gu at all and was just going at his own pace. "Okay, thank you for your help."
"No trouble! I'm glad I could help you!"
Being ignored, Chen Que was quite interested. Looking at Xiao Gu's earnest expression, he was in the mood to joke, "You're still as charming as ever, Fei. You can easily gain a few fans by just appearing in a strange story."
Fiji:"……"
System: [Brother Fei~Everything is arranged~]
Fei: "Shut up."
How could a normal person keep up with them, and find them so accurately? Fei had a vague guess in his mind, "Did you find them one by one from all the places?"
"No." Xiao Gu shook his head blankly, and only came to his senses afterwards, "I just really wanted to know where you were, and then the image of you standing on the stairs popped into my mind."
This was an awakened ability. Fei didn't intend to explain it. He would explain it in detail when the Operations Department came over. There was no need for him to waste his breath. He just asked someone to raise his hand and roll up his sleeves. When he saw the randomly wrapped bandages and blurred flesh and blood, he couldn't help but frown.
Fei's hand touched the bandage and was stopped just as he was about to tear it off. Xiao Gu instinctively muttered to himself, "I can't show the wound... This is against the rules."
The rules for maintaining the apartment building were provided by the consciousness of the shrine from the beginning. They are not written on other objects. These rules are engraved in the minds of the residents.
The two weeks of painful experience could not be erased by simply replacing the parasite. Fei knew this. He pulled away Xiao Gu's hand that wanted to stop him, stuffed the ointment into his palm, and finally tore off the bandages that trapped him. "Apply it on. It might hurt."
Xiao Gu stared blankly at the seemingly ordinary ointment and said thank you in a low voice.
Fei didn't have the mood to care about him. The barrage of comments in front of him told him that Shi Yu was about to reach the breeding apartment building.
[Little fish, charge! Little fish! Whether our Xiao Song can survive depends on you (wipes away tears)]
【Luckily, Brother Wen saw the post ahhhhh】
[Although it is a bug that Shibao can rewind the state of the Shrine Ghost Story, our protagonist is not yet strong enough to influence a high-risk Ghost Story that is ultimately evaluated as S-level.]
[No, it's not S yet, but the second stage is A-rank... Well, I can't beat it anyway, come on, babe!]
[I am dying of laughter, it is very exciting but I don’t know what is exciting]
However, the biggest problem was the front desk and security downstairs. Fei was originally thinking about finding a room to avoid people, but he felt relieved after seeing the barrage.
[The first step of the plan to save Xiao Song - first pass the registration]
[I'm floored! It seems like if the registration staff and security guards are caught cheating, they'll go berserk. The protagonists haven't even seen the main character of the ghost story yet, and they've already killed the monster.]
【Congratulations to Xiaoyu for failing the challenge (not)】
[Sorry, I've already subconsciously started praying that Brother Fei will come... The small monsters are okay, but the big boss of the shrine is a bit too much for our protagonist group and the Operations Department to deal with (I've already accepted it)]
Shi Yu and the others probably wouldn't be coming up for a while, so Fei withdrew his gaze and walked out of the stairwell. He glanced at his watch. It was 12:10, so he turned around and looked at his other two companions. "Have you had lunch?"
Seeing the two shaking their heads, Fei nodded after getting a satisfactory answer, "Let's go, let's go eat."
Xiao Gu, who thought a big fight was about to begin, responded: "......?"
Xiao Gu was shocked: "Just, just ignore it?"
Accustomed to it, Shen Que replied on Fei's behalf: "The things in the shrine will only come out at night. We can't solve it now. If we forcibly remove it, other residents will also be greatly affected."
He turned around and asked Fei: "Won't you wait a moment?"
"Right now, you and Xiao Gu are familiar with this area, lead the way."
Xiao Gu, who always felt something was wrong, said: "...Okay, okay."
They took the elevator on the far right to go downstairs, completely different from Shi Yu and others who took the elevator to the tenth floor. Fei had no intention of changing back to his original appearance, and he put on a mask without any care.
Xiao Gu: "...Should I get a mask too?"
Fei: "No, go out."
Finally, out of consideration, after lunch, Fei asked Xiao Gu to stay somewhere else first and not return to the apartment tonight. After giving the instructions, he left with Chen Que.
They entered the apartment building again five hours later, at dusk. During this time, Fei learned through the barrage that Shi Yu had already found out about the residents' situation and had contacted Lin Yuan from the Operations Department to inform her of the situation.
Lin Yuan relayed the fact that there was no movement in the detector. This strange talk was obviously unusual. She asked several people to pay attention to safety and protect themselves while taking action. The members of the executive department would arrive as quickly as possible.
Shi Yu agreed. They helped some residents bandage their wounds and then helped them to the hospital.
[In the previous game, the protagonists came after the Operations Department arrived, but why is it the other way around in the sequel? I thought the Operations Department was going to be the highlight for the protagonists and they wouldn’t have to come at all.]
[It's impossible for the protagonists to fight alone. After all, they went from A to S in the second stage of Kaidan. How can they fight against nuclear fusion? Moreover, S-level Kaidan can be resurrected after being killed, so they should not be classified as high-risk Kaidan. It's more appropriate to list them separately.]
[Brother Wen must have noticed something was wrong and called for help, but the protagonists probably didn't expect that the Operations Department could do nothing about it. They called the wrong person, my dears. If you call God Fei, you'll definitely be able to turn the tide in this game (Fei: Me again?)]
[The main thing is U... I can't defeat him to begin with, and now there's this villain adding to the chaos. I'm lucky to be alive...]
[Oh no, if that's the case, the protagonists won't be the ones seriously injured in the sequel, right? Run away, Xiaoyu! !]
The Operations Department and Shi Yu were all in the apartment. Fei lowered his eyes as the numbers on the elevator display slowly and tirelessly climbed up, the scarlet numbers engraved above his eyeballs. He suddenly reached out and pressed a button, "I'll take care of the consciousness, you go downstairs."
"Hmm?" Knowing that the Operations Department had just moved into the apartment building, Chen Que didn't refuse. "I'm responsible for holding the Operations Department back? That's great. It seems I can pretend to be U's new member and lower U's impression of the Operations Department."
Fei: "...Don't overdo it."
The elevator door closed again, and Fei came to the tenth floor alone. The sliding door opened automatically, and a familiar figure came into view. He saw the dark blue cufflinks pinned on the man's suit sleeves.
"Surprise? But it seems you've already guessed it." The magician was not surprised that Que didn't come with him. "It seems your companions went to stop the operation."
As if in response to his words, the barrage of bullets caused by Que's appearance screamed across his sight the next moment, and Fei almost missed the point.
[? Handsome guy, who are you? Is there such a person? Why can't I remember him? Even though his face isn't shown... he's just so handsome! Impossible, I should have remembered him!]
[I'm also confused. Who came? I don't remember it being this person. I'll change it in the sequel.]
[Are there new villains? Their vocals are pretty strong, and I think they're on par with the core members who appeared before. Wine, where did you get this handsome guy from?]
[In the previous game, the one who came was a magician. I'm impressed by you guys. When the magician appeared, a bunch of people cried out sorry but decided to surrender to the enemy and rushed over. In the end, they didn't even remember who he was.]
"It seems that I am not pleasing enough to your eyes, and you are still distracted."
When the elevator started running again, the car shook violently. Fei raised his head through the crack of the door that was about to close completely. The curve of his lips was so shallow that it was difficult to describe clearly. He crushed the glass ball-shaped space conversion prop and his figure disappeared on the spot.
"You wouldn't just attack directly, though." Fei stood behind him and sighed, "You're known for your upbringing, right? It's not right to attack without even saying hello, is it?"
It sounded as if playing dirty would cause him trouble, the magician thought expressionlessly, the walls around him beginning to crumble. "Same here, same here. Didn't you say you wouldn't meddle in other people's business at the beginning? But it seems you haven't kept that promise, both in and out of the game."
Fei Hun didn't care. "U, it was your leader who first ordered the hunting down of me. And your fight with the Pyramid involved me, wasn't I the victim? Do you have any substantial evidence to prove that I am the behind-the-scenes chairman of the Pyramid?"
He would neither admit nor stop. Fei stood in the corridor, making it clear that he wanted to help the Operations Department again.
...It was indeed troublesome. The magician truly understood why Wine had withdrawn the order to hunt him down and instead asked them to bring Fei into the organization. If he joined the operations department, it would indeed be the worst outcome, but killing him would be a shame.
If Fei joins U, uncontrollable S-level ghost stories will not be a problem, he has the ability to do it.
"But Shi Yu seems to be here too." The magician reminded slowly with a smile.
"Then I wish you all the best. Don't let him find out, Fei Player."
