Chapter 29 Gentle Neighbor



Xu Moshu opened the medicine box, lifted up Chu Chenan's calf, and applied the ointment on the scabby wound with a cotton swab.

His movements were gentle, like pinching a feather and stroking Chu Chenan's knees.

Chu Chenan had already fallen deeply into a hazy dream. The intoxicating fragrance of flowers that filled the air around him made him dazed and he could not tell whether this was reality or a dream.

He dreamed of being kissed by a butterfly with the scent of blue roses, having his wounds licked, and being embraced warmly.

He wanted to escape from this warmth that was like a shackle.

But I was trapped in the dense web woven by the intoxicating fragrance of flowers, and I was powerless to struggle.

The dream was too real.

He narrowed his eyes defiantly, and the hazy surroundings gradually came into focus, and he saw that the dense net that shackled him turned into a tall black shadow.

The black shadow transformed into Xu Moshu's face.

He looked into the pair of eagle eyes lurking in the darkness.

...

...

Xu Moshu's eagle eyes narrowed slightly, full of gloom and determination.

It must be a dream.

Chu Chenan comforted himself in a panic.

He dreamed that he was paranoidly carried back to that bedroom again.

He sobbed weakly, and Xu Moshu coaxed him gently over and over again.

"Be good, don't be afraid."

"We're leaving here soon, and we're going to be together forever."

"Don't worry, honey."

Chu Chenan fell into sleep again under Xu Moshu's coaxing.

Xu Moshu kissed the back of Chu Chenan's hand, then turned and kissed the wound on his knee.

He chuckled, "Still so crybaby."

Chu Chenan was awakened by the mechanical sound of the system.

【warn】

【warn】

【Your task time limit is: 3 hours.】 】

【Please hurry up and complete the task as soon as possible.】 】

Chu Chenan sat up suddenly and looked out the window. The glaring sun was scorching. It was already afternoon.

He was surprised that he could sleep so long. He threw back the quilt and bent over to put on his shoes.

When he bent down, he suddenly found that the wound on his knee had quickly healed. The wound was covered with a circle of brown and emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.

Chu Chenan frowned, his heart beating faster with nervousness.

Could it be that...

That wasn't a dream.

Xu Moshu has already guessed that he is Chen An...

Time was running out, and he didn't have time to think about it any more.

He put on his shoes hastily, not noticing the new red mark on his collar, and ran out of the bedroom.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhang Liang squatting at his door.

Zhang Liang's face was gloomy and his eyes were dark. He stood up with his arms folded, looking at Chu Chenan numbly and indifferently.

Chu Chenan frowned, he took two steps back, and saw bloodstains on Zhang Liang's clothes out of the corner of his eye.

Zhang Liang walked towards Chu Chenan, his eyes were bloodshot, ferocious and scary, showing his white teeth, "Let's talk."

"I don't want to talk to you." Chu Chenan pretended to be calm and tried to close the door indifferently.

Suddenly, Zhang Liang slammed the door with a bang.

"I've already seen that among the people here... you are the only one who is like me." He whispered to Chu Chenan, grinning and showing his white teeth, "You are special."

Chu Chenan suddenly opened his eyes wide.

His hand holding the door handle began to tremble.

Zhang Liang took the opportunity to force his way into the gate and closed it behind him.

He could never have imagined it.

Zhang Liang... is the other player in this copy?

Is it your teammate?

But he...

How could he kill so many people?

How can I hint at my identity as a player...

Chu Chenan’s face turned pale and he took a few steps back. He found it unbelievable.

"You want to go to the fourth floor?" Zhang Liang took advantage of him not paying attention, raised his hand and touched his delicate white cheek, and said silently with his lips, "What you have to do is different from what I have to do. I just need to survive, but you... hehe, it seems that you don't have much time left."

"You killed so many people." Chu Chenan looked at Zhang Liang warily and avoided Zhang Liang's touch. "Aren't you afraid of the system..."

"Why should I be afraid?" Zhang Liang said nonchalantly, sneering meanly, "They deserve to die anyway."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Zhang Liang lowered his eyes to look at Chu Chenan's face, "I came here just to see you one last time. As expected, you are still so high and mighty... You know, every time I see your high and mighty face, I wish I could strip you naked, press you into the mud, and make you as lowly as Su Yu and the others... Well, you won't live much longer, Chu Chenan, I'm waiting to see you being eaten by those things, stripped of your flesh and bones, and gnawed into pieces, hehe..."

After saying that, he patted Chu Chenan's face with a grim smile, turned around like a zombie, and left 702.

Chu Chen'an's body was trembling as he watched Zhang Liang leave.

The system reminded him in his mind:

[Your game time limit is: 2 hours and 50 minutes]

Please complete your task as soon as possible. 】

Chu Chenan turned around, picked up the cup of water, drank a sip of water, and thought for a while.

He gritted his teeth.

He turned around and walked out the door again.

He plans to take another gamble.

When Chu Chenan walked downstairs again.

The tall figure outside the corridor behind him also swayed.

Chu Chenan held a flashlight, turned down the stairwell on the sixth floor, and walked bravely towards the fifth floor.

The cold red light of the fifth floor flickered in front of Chu Chenan's eyes again. Before he stood at the stairs on the fifth floor, he caught a glimpse of the old man in Taoist robes hiding in the corner.

Chu Chenan almost dropped the flashlight in his hand.

He thought he was seeing things, and tremblingly shone the light towards the stairwell in the distance...

As expected, the weird old man was still standing there with a smile on his face, the white light illuminating his weird, relaxed face. He smiled, revealing his old yellow teeth, and under the light of the flashlight, he said in a hoarse voice, "Long time no see, how have you considered it?"

Chu Chenan, "What are you thinking about?"

"We can cooperate and kill Xu Moshu together." The old man walked towards Chu Chenan step by step, leaning on his crutches.

"I said, I'm not interested." Chu Chenan said coldly, his calves trembling, and he wanted to escape backwards.

An eerie red light shone on his face. It was so quiet around him that he could only hear his own heart beating.

Suddenly, the fear drove him to turn around and flee quickly.

But before he took a step onto the stairs, he suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes, closed his eyes drowsily, and fell backwards uncontrollably.

Before he closed his eyes, perhaps he was hallucinating. In his hazy vision, he actually saw Xu Moshu's face above the stairs.

It's Xu Moshu...

Is Xu Moshu here to save him...

When he woke up, Chu Chenan had been locked in a dark room.

Surprisingly, he didn't have any injuries on his body.

His hands and feet were bound with thin ropes and tied inside the formation. He sat up with difficulty and looked around in the dim light...

The room was surprisingly large, almost as big as two bedrooms.

The floor was covered with strange formations, the left wall was entangled with red ropes, and the corners of the room were hung with bloody human skeletons and various pieces of meat...

Perhaps among these skeletons are those of Lu Cheng and Wu Longyang.

Minced meat was scattered all over the floor, and there was a large pot by the wall. The water in the pot was boiling, emitting sickening hot steam...

He stepped back tremblingly and sat with his back to the wall. He crossed his legs and trembled slightly uncontrollably.

The dark room was silent, with only the sound of boiling water being heard.

He glanced at the skeleton on the wall and shrank back in fear.

He suddenly felt very regretful.

Regret participating in this game.

I regret having provoked Xu Moshu.

As I thought about it, tears welled up in the corners of my eyes. His eyes were slightly red and he looked towards the door weakly.

He expected the door to open, but it remained shut.

Chu Chenan hugged his shoulders and trembled.

Sudden.

The wooden door inside the house creaked open.

Walking in front was Qu Jiu.

This was the first time Chu Chenan met Qu Jiu face to face.

Qu Jiu was short, probably less than 65cm tall, and abnormally thin. There were several deep frowns at the corners of his eyes, his facial features were narrow and his eyes were shifty. He looked to be over thirty-five years old.

He had a middle-parted fringe and wore a cheap red suit with trouser legs that were a little too long and stuck out over his worn leather shoes.

His severed finger was wrapped in gauze and blood was faintly seeping out.

"Will this work? If we lock him up here, Xu Moshu will come?" Qu Jiu was a little skeptical. He glanced at Chu Chenan on the ground, turned around and asked the Taoist robed old man behind him, "Is he so stupid?"

The old man in Taoist robes smiled and said, "Don't worry, he values ​​this kid more than his life, he will definitely come."

"This is the secret formation passed down by my ancestor. No matter how powerful he is, he can't walk out alive." The old man in Taoist robes patted Qu Jiu on the shoulder.

Chu Chenan didn't know where he was. He looked at the two men with vigilance.

Qu Jiu approached Chu Chenan, squatted down and looked at his face, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Yes, they look alike."

The old man said, "No, not just like, he is."

"What did you say?" Qu Jiu stood up, looked at the old man's ferocious smiling face, and was stunned for two seconds.

Gradually, he also began to smile, "No wonder... Hahahaha, that lunatic Xu Moshu is dead this time."

The laughter of the two people rang out in the house, the sound was weird and creepy.

Qu Jiu stopped laughing first. He looked at Chu Chenan greedily, "This tender skin looks delicious. How about... we cut off an arm to satisfy our craving?"

"Don't," the old man in Taoist robes stopped him, "Are you mad with hunger? We can't let anything go wrong now."

Qu Jiu pouted, "Alright... You won't even let me eat an arm, is that necessary..."

Qu Jiu turned around and sat down on the chair next to the big pot first.

The old man in Taoist robe sat beside him and glanced at Chu Chenan calmly.

Chu Chenan kept trembling and dared not make a sound.

The water in the pot was boiling hot, and Chu Chenan was frightened by the sound.

More than ten minutes passed.

There was still no sound outside the door.

Qu Jiu was bored waiting, so he crossed his legs. His ankles were so thin that only skin and bones were visible. He looked at Chu Chenan, "He looks good. His bones must be very brittle, and his meat must be very tender... Hehe..."

"Shit, I'm hungry again."

He walked over to the cauldron, took a piece of meat from the wall and put it into the boiling water.

He swallowed his saliva in front of Chu Chenan and stirred it with an iron spoon.

Chu Chenan looked at Qu Jiu timidly. He was missing two fingers on his left hand, so it was a bit difficult for him to hold the iron spoon.

The spoon was held tightly while stirring, and a few drops of boiling water splashed on him.

"What a broken spoon!" Qu Jiu threw the spoon back into the iron pot with a face full of anger. He caught a glimpse of Chu Chenan's gaze from the corner of his eye, "What are you looking at! Did you see my hand? This is Xu Moshu's fault."

When Chu Chenan heard Qu Jiu's words, his heart skipped a beat.

He observed Qu Jiu carefully, his heart beating nervously.

As long as he completes task two.

He will be able to leave this copy immediately...

Chu Chenan said in a trembling voice, "Then, wasn't that bitten by your sister?"

"How do you know that I was bitten by my sister?" Qu Jiu tilted his head, narrowed his eyes, and turned to walk towards Chu Chenan.

Chu Chenan was so scared that he quickly lowered his head and did not answer.

Qu Jiu squatted down in front of Chu Chenan and said, "Hey, Xu Moshu is not just playing with you, why hasn't he come yet after such a long time?"

"I'm so hungry. If he doesn't come again..." Qu Jiu's eyes wandered around Chu Chenan and he swallowed hard, "I'm going to stew you."

Chu Chenan broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. "I...I can cooperate with you! Don't you just want to kill him? I can help you lure him here."

"Hahaha... do you think I'm stupid?... I let you out and you ran away." Qu Jiu laughed so hard that tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

"I'm serious! I...I've wanted to kill Xu Moshu for a long time."

Chu Chenan lied calmly, "You don't want to die, do you? If you stew me, Xu Moshu will definitely kill you... Instead of this, why don't we cooperate and kill him together."

Qu Jiu frowned when he heard the silence.

He did not deny Chu Chenan's words.

If Chu Chenan died first, that madman would definitely not let him go.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to find a way to kill Crazy Xu first, and then slowly enjoy Chu Chenan's flesh...

Seeing hope, Chu Chenan said carefully, "However, before we cooperate, I have one more condition."

Qu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "What conditions?"

Chu Chenan raised his eyes and glanced at the old man in Taoist robe who was sitting not far away. The old man in Taoist robe happened to look Chu Chenan in the eye, but it was impossible to see the expression in his cloudy eyes.

Chu Chenan suddenly retracted his gaze and said, "You...you have to tell me first, how did your sister die."

"What?"

Qu Jiu was puzzled. He chuckled and said, "Why do you want to know this?"

"Don't worry about it, just tell me." Chu Chen'an said anxiously, "As long as you tell me, I will cooperate with you and kill Xu Moshu together with you."

This way I can leave directly!

Chu Chenan's heartbeat quickened and he looked at Qu Jiu with anticipation.

The smile on the Taoist robe old man's face had disappeared, and he looked at Qu Jiu and Chu Chenan silently.

Qu Jiu licked the corner of his mouth, pondered for a while, and smiled ugly, "How did she... die? I remember I pulled out her hair and tied her up in the house..."

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah..." Qu Jiu's words stopped abruptly. His arm was suddenly torn apart, blood was flowing all over the ground, and the flesh was rotten to the point that the bones were visible.

He fell to his knees on the ground and screamed in pain, saying to the air around him, "Crazy woman! Didn't I tie you up? You... why the hell did you get out again, hiss..."

Sweat broke out on Qu Jiuman's forehead and his face turned pale. He quickly supported himself with his other hand and walked towards the wall with the human-shaped skeleton.

"You old man, what are you standing there for? Are you waiting to die? Come over and help me!" He turned his back to the old man in Taoist robes and shouted loudly. He quickly threw away the meat and skeleton and opened the hidden mechanism on the wall.

Just as the secret passage in the wall was opened, the tightly closed door outside seemed to be unlocked and was easily pushed open with a creaky sound.

Xu Moshu smiled gently, leaned against the door and looked into the room, tapping the wooden door with his slender fingertips, "I heard that someone here wanted to kill me, so he came here on his own."

Qu Jiu looked back at the smiling Xu Moshu, staggered a few steps in fear, and quickly hid in the secret door. The stone door was covered with talismans used to exorcise ghosts, which could be used to keep away ghosts.

He slammed the stone door shut.

When he thought he had escaped, he was bitten on the shoulder by the middle-aged female ghost hiding in the shadows.

"Ahhh! Crazy woman! How did you get in?!"

“You old bastard! You traitor! Aaaaaaaaaaah!”

Qu Jiu's fierce and painful wails came from the wall. Chu Chenan listened to his voice change from fierce to depressed...

Hearing this, his whole body trembled.

"You didn't let him get hurt, did you?" Xu Moshu glanced coldly at the old man in Taoist robe.

The old man in Taoist robes stood up and looked at Xu Moshu with fear in his eyes, "No, absolutely not... Look, he is fine, not injured at all."

Chu Chenan raised his eyes and saw Xu Moshu walking straight towards him.

The old man in Taoist robe had already stopped smiling and followed Xu Moshu respectfully.

"Well, you go away first." Xu Moshu said indifferently.

"Yes, yes..." The old man in Taoist robe, leaning on his cane, quickly left the gate.

The person he hated the most was Xu Moshu.

But he still chose to obey this madman.

Because he had long known how terrible this madman was.

Xu Moshu stepped over the formation diagram with ease and squatted down to untie the thin rope that was loosely tied to Chu Chenan.

"I'm sorry, dear, I scared you." His smile suddenly became gentle again. He raised his hand and pinched Chu Chenan's cheek. "But only this time. I'll take you home now, okay?"

Chu Chenan opened his eyes wide.

Should have realized it earlier...

Perhaps it was because he was too nervous just now, he didn't realize that being tied up with this thin rope didn't hurt at all! !

He is so stupid.

The fear in his eyes turned into silent anger, and his eyes widened.

"Don't look at me like that, you're so cute like this." Xu Moshu chuckled, and couldn't help leaning over to kiss the corner of Chu Chenan's mouth, mocking him mercilessly, "How are you going to kill me when you're so cute?"

Xu Moshu untied the thin rope that was tied to Chu Chenan's feet and gently rubbed his wrists.

Chu Chenan was like a deceived deer, glaring at Xu Moshu in anger and shame.

His premonition was true.

Xu Moshu had already known that he was Chen An.

He weakly pushed away Xu Moshu's strong arms, "Go away, don't hug me!"

abnormal.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry..." Xu Moshu smiled gently, revealing his white and neat teeth, and held Chu Chenan in his arms, "You have been tossing and turning for so long, it turns out you want to know how Qu Jiu died..."

"Baby, look at that." Xu Moshu hugged him affectionately from behind and said in his ear.

Chu Chenan was stunned. He raised his eyes and glanced at the bloody wall.

Blood kept flowing out from under the cracks in the stone door, and with a "boom", the stone door was opened.

A complete human skeleton was thrown out, with a scrap of red suit hanging on it...

That...that is Qu Jiu's skeleton...

The middle-aged female ghost also crawled out, her body a bloody mess, and her mouth, which was split behind her ears, made a horrible whimpering sound, "I'm so full... wuwuwu, I'm so full..."

The female ghost fell to the ground, blood all over the floor. She began to twitch violently, and her blue-black skin was burned by the talisman paper that floated above the pool of blood.

Her broken body began to emit boiling gray smoke, like a burning plastic bottle, dissolving into gray turbid liquid, and then disappearing without a trace...

"Is it good?" Xu Moshu's mellow voice echoed in Chu Chenan's ears. He held Chu Chenan's face with both hands and forced him to watch the whole process.

Chu Chenan watched with trembling eyes as the female ghost turned into nothingness.

He leaned over and kissed Chu Chenan's cheek, smiling with satisfaction, "Now, you can't run away."

[System platform live broadcast has been automatically turned on for you]

[Default live broadcast time limit: 30 minutes]

[Oh my god, my wife’s ex?] 】

[Ahhhhhhhh]

[My wife looks so good today, she has a pervert face]

[Damn it, you are not allowed to kiss my wife!] 】

Can this really be broadcast? 】

[Ahhh, damn it, why don’t you get to the point? 】

[Supermarket him, supermarket him!] 】

【Shashasha】

[My wife's eyes are red, and my brain is yellow]

[This NPC is so good]

[Our slogan is Supermarket Him!] ! ! 】

Chu Chenan didn’t have time to pay attention to the live broadcast comments. He was stunned by the visual impact in front of him.

The system also reminded him in his ear:

[Your task time limit is: 50 minutes.] 】

Now that the middle-aged female ghost has disappeared, doesn't that mean he still has a chance to look downstairs for other clues?

He hurriedly struggled to break free from Xu Moshu's embrace, "You, you let me go... I want to go downstairs."

"An An, are you pushing me away?" A hint of darkness flashed across Xu Moshu's eyes.

Chu Chenan looked at Xu Moshu timidly, and when he noticed that Xu Moshu's eyes had changed, he dared not move.

"You want to go downstairs..." Xu Moshu suddenly laughed again, returning to his usual calm and gentle smile, "Then go ahead."

"Baby, don't be too nervous. Why wouldn't I let you go?"

Xu Moshu gently straightened Chu Chenan's collar and said, "I heard that you and Jiaojiao played a game. How about we play a game too?"

Chu Chenan looked at Xu Moshu in surprise. He didn't dare to believe Xu Moshu's nonsense.

After all, Xu Moshu is a vindictive person.

His hands were forced to rest on Xu Moshu's shoulders, "W-what?"

"I'll count to ten. If you can run out of the stairwell within ten counts, I'll let you go to the fourth floor. But if you run too slowly and I catch you, you have to come home with me obediently. How about that?"

Xu Moshu was like a dangerous wolf, slowly coaxing the little lamb in front of him.

The corridor of this residential complex is less than a hundred meters long, and it only takes fifty meters to reach the middle corridor entrance.

Ten seconds is more than enough time.

Besides, he could run faster.

Chu Chenan made up his mind and nodded.

"So good," Xu Moshu leaned over and kissed Chu Chenan's wet lips, smiling, and said, "Then be careful, don't fall and get hurt."

Chu Chenan glanced at Xu Moshu and said, "Hurry up."

[Ahhhhhh!] Cat and mouse game, I like it! 】

[What little mouse? That’s my wife Xiangxiang]

【Ahhhhh I love watching】

[If the wife is caught, won’t she be taken home by her husband to make trouble…]

【Shashasha】

[My wife is miserable]

The system platform caused considerable fluctuations, and the gold coin reward value continued to soar.

"Then let's start. You run first, dear."

Xu Moshu stood there, watching Chu Chenan sprint out like a rabbit, and then he slowly began to count: "Ten."

"Nine."

"eight."

"seven."

"six."

Chu Chenan started running and arrived a few meters away from the corridor entrance before Xu Moshu said six o'clock.

But when he happily arrived at the entrance of the stairwell, he was so frightened by the scene in the stairwell that he fell to the ground.

"ah!"

He screamed in fright, his pupils shrank, and he kept backing away.

His back was against the wall of the corridor.

I saw a bloody body hanging on the door of the stairwell. There was not a single piece of good flesh on the body of the man, and it was a mess of blood.

"five."

Judging from his approximate figure, that was Zhang Liang!

His outer skin was gone, his face unrecognizable, and he was tied to the top of the door with an iron chain.

"Tick, tick, tick."

Blood dripped onto the corridor, echoing in the silent and dark surroundings.

"Four."

"three."

Chu Chenan opened his eyes wide with fear and no longer had the strength to stand up.

Xu Moshu walked towards Chu Chenan leisurely. He took out a handkerchief and knelt on one knee in front of Chu Chenan. He still smiled and said, "Second."

He held the handkerchief and gently wiped Chu Chenan's dusty face. "one."

Chu Chenan's eyes were timid and weak. His eyes were misty and he looked at Xu Moshu tremblingly.

"How pitiful."

Xu Moshu lifted Chu Chenan's left leg. The wound on his knee bled a little because he ran too fast just now. "I have tolerated him for a long time. I wanted to tear his skin off when I thought about him touching you... But now it's okay, I have torn off his skin completely..."

"Our An An lost." Xu Moshu smiled gently and leaned over to kiss the wound on Chu Chenan's knee.

"Then the game is over and we should go home, baby."
