Chapter 70 Nightmare Community
Second-hand housing transaction center.
Xu Zhiyan looked at the salesperson in front of him with despair in his eyes.
...The most terrifying haunted house?
It’s not enough to be a haunted house, must we add the most terrifying one?
Haha, thank you so much!
After taking the information from the salesperson, he lowered his head and read it carefully.
The apartment types in Meimeng Community are very diverse.
The smaller the building number, the smaller the apartment.
The buildings after No. 150 are all large-sized apartments, with two households per elevator, meaning there are only two households on an entire floor, and the structure is completely symmetrical.
The salesperson took out a tissue and wiped the cold sweat off his face. Perhaps his conscience had come to his senses, and he couldn't help but give a final hint: "Are you sure you want this one? In fact, we have other buildings that are also good."
Xu Zhiyan thought to himself that he wanted to do it too, but he was just being forced into doing something he was not prepared for!
However, he did not show it on his face, still looking relaxed, and even reached out to grab a handful of mints beside the counter and put them in his pocket, with a somewhat nonchalant expression.
“Is this the most haunted house in your area?”
The salesperson was completely stunned when these words came out.
"I...I..." He spoke incoherently and couldn't explain himself. The cold sweat that he had just wiped off instantly flowed down again.
Xu Zhiyan sighed, "Actually, I have another job, I'm a haunted house sleep tester."
Since the task is to try sleeping in a haunted house, he will just use this identity to do it, after all, he still has to deliver takeout during the day.
"I just happened to pass by here, and then I heard that you have a very famous haunted house here. I am a kind-hearted person, so I plan to help you for free..."
Having said this, he looked at the salesperson with heartbroken eyes and a slightly dissatisfied tone.
"But you didn't even tell me about the haunted house, and you sold it to me directly. Brother, this is a bit unfair..."
The salesperson was dumbfounded.
The fact that the trading center took over the haunted house really made everyone anxious and worried.
But the young man in front of me was able to accurately choose the most terrifying haunted house. He must have some skills!
Seeing the salesperson was a little stunned, Xu Zhiyan propped up the table and continued: "Well, I'll charge you three thousand, and then I'll live in the haunted house for three days. When I leave, the rumors about the haunted house will be broken..."
Anyway, the task must be done.
Why not take this opportunity to collect double salary?
His abacus clattered loudly.
The salesperson nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and hurriedly called his boss, causing another chaos.
In the end, Xu Zhiyan successfully got a new part-time job for three thousand three nights and got the key to the haunted house 1402.
The moment he got the key, he also got a big cardboard box.
Like He Zui, his cardboard box contained things a deliveryman needed: a blue and yellow patchwork uniform, a mobile phone, and an electric bike key.
Now it's all done.
Xu Zhiyan did not go out first. Instead, he took out the things in the box and put on the thick coat in the delivery man's uniform.
After putting on the coat, Xu Zhiyan was enveloped by waves of warmth, and he felt that his limbs, which had been almost numb from the cold, had finally warmed up.
At first he thought he was cold because of physical problems.
But when he rushed from the sales office to the rental office, he found that other people were also shaking.
This seems to be the arrangement of the dungeon. Players must get the uniform of the corresponding profession before they can act outdoors.
Carrying a suitcase in one hand and holding his adopted daughter's hand in the other, Xu Zhiyan set off with the key and access card in his pocket.
Building 167 is located on the northwest edge of the community.
There were not many people on the road, and Xu Zhiyan did not meet any other players along the way.
After more than ten minutes, we arrived.
Before Xu Zhiyan went up, he looked up and took a look.
At least from the side where he was, no windows were lit and the entire Building 167 was completely dark.
Swipe your card and enter.
In front of the elevator, Xu Zhiyan looked at the elevator door that opened instantly but did not go up.
He squatted down and looked at Xu Xiaohua at eye level, pointed inside the elevator, changed the way he addressed Xu Xiaohua, and asked, "My dear, do you see anyone in this elevator?"
Since the other party is also a monster, he should be able to have some perception of his own kind, right?
The commentators saw Xu Zhiyan being timid for the first time and started to make fun of him.
[Good fellow, even a little millionaire knows fear? ]
【Hahahaha, are you scared? 】
[After all, he is Lucky F. I guess he is afraid of getting pinched in the elevator now. Hahahaha]
[Hahahahahaha I thought he wasn't afraid of anything! ]
[Little Millionaire: You can’t raise him for nothing, you have to work! ]
Xu Xiaohua took a look, shook her head, and answered obediently: "There is no one, there is just a little blood on the ceiling, but I don't think it matters!"
Xu Zhiyan paused for a moment, then quietly leaned over and glanced at the elevator ceiling. There was no blood.
Or maybe there is, but he can't see it.
Thinking that he would be killed whether he stuck his head out or hid it, it would be better to kill him than to let him climb to the 14th floor.
Xu Zhiyan made up his mind and led the child into the elevator.
【14】
As the elevator button lit up, a slight feeling of weightlessness came over me.
"bite!"
We have arrived at the fourteenth floor.
Unlike the bright lights in the lobby and elevator room on the first floor, Xu Zhiyan frowned slightly as he looked at the open elevator door.
It's too dark.
It was all dark outside the elevator, as if the light was broken.
Before he could take out the lighting equipment from the system package, Xu Xiaohua jumped out.
Like any other curious child, she casually touched around and pushed open a door.
It is the door of the safe passage.
The moonlight shines in.
"Dad, this place is so big, which house is ours?"
Seeing that Xu Xiaohua didn't react, Xu Zhiyan paused holding the props and walked out.
When the elevator door slowly closed and the strong light was no longer there, he could see the structure clearly in the moonlight.
After coming out of the elevator, there is a rectangular corridor.
There is a family on each side, at the two ends of the corridor, with doors facing each other.
Opposite the elevator was the emergency passage, but the elevator was too bright just now and he couldn't see there was a door opposite.
Xu Zhiyan looked around and found that the house on the left seemed to be occupied.
When you get closer, you can see light coming through the crack in the door and vaguely hear the sound of music coming from inside.
It's a bit strange that he lives opposite a haunted house. He seems to be a courageous local resident.
Xu Zhiyan sighed and returned to the elevator.
It is already half past eight, and he doesn't have much time left. He must complete the prerequisite tasks before nine o'clock.
He went to the room on the right and inserted the key into the lock.
“Click—”
The door opened.
Perhaps no one had been here for a long time. A stale smell of dust wafted out from inside, and Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but take two steps back.
After the smell became less severe, he did not go in, but stood behind Xu Xiaohua.
"My dear, you go first."
It's time for children to repay their parents!
"Okay, Dad!"
Four-year-old Xu Xiaohua had no idea that anything was wrong.
She ran in, turned around, and actually found a switch on the ground.
"Dad, there's a button here."
“Pah.”
As the dim lights in the room came on, the room revealed its true appearance. Xu Zhiyan stood at the door in surprise.
This was an unfinished house with blood stains on the floor.
But the bloodstains had dried for a long time and had almost no smell.
Xu Zhiyan walked in slowly.
Triggered the pre-quest reward.
[Pre-task: Find a place to live.]
[Progress: Completed]
[Reward: Correct time (12h)]
[The current correct remaining time for players is 12.3h]
Xu Zhiyan had a strange expression on his face.
He remembered that the information about the haunted house he had just seen said it had been renovated.
But his key can open the door of this unfinished house, and also triggers the reward, which means that this is a place where the system determines that he can spend the night.
Could it be that the transaction center wrote this intentionally in order to trick people into buying houses?
Xu Zhiyan thought about it for a moment but couldn't figure it out, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and took Xu Xiaohua to search the house.
Even if it's a sleeping trial in a haunted house, you can't let him sleep on the floor, right?
However, after taking a look around, I found that this unfinished house really had nothing in it except the windows and doors, and there was not even any equipment left by the decorators.
How can it be called a haunted house when no one has ever lived there?
It can't be that all the bodies are embedded in the wall...
If that's the case, it's a bit disgusting indeed.
Xu Zhiyan unpacked the cardboard box and placed it on the floor in the middle of the living room. He couldn't help but ponder over it. No matter how hard he thought about it, he still felt that something was wrong.
He couldn't tear down the wall to confirm his guess.
Four-year-old Xu Xiaohua was at the age of being happy and silly, running circles around her cheap father in the large living room without furniture.
"Xu Xiaohua, do you see anything unclean in this house?"
"No, Dad! It's empty here."
No matter how Xu Zhiyan asked, Xu Xiaohua said it was very empty here.
Whether it is physical or spiritual.
At about ten o'clock, Xu Xiaohua yawned while sitting on the concrete bay window.
A new task instantly popped up on Xu Zhiyan’s panel.
[Congratulations to the player for triggering the parent-child mission! ]
[Task: Find a blanket]
[Reward: Correct time (0.5h)]
[Reward: Fatherly Love +5]
[Note: Your daughter is tired and sleepy, she needs a warm blanket to spend the night. ]
[Hint: If you cannot find the blanket within ten minutes, your favorability will be -25]
[Hint: When the player's favorability with the daughter drops to a negative number, she will lose her mind]
"..." Xu Zhiyan's mouth twitched.
I didn’t expect that he actually came with a small mission trigger!
He and Xu Xiaohua now only have a total of 20 points of favorability. If he doesn't complete it, it will definitely become negative.
However, borrowing a blanket or something was not a difficult problem for him, especially since his neighbor's house was right across the street.
He believes that most people would not hesitate for too long when asked to borrow something from their neighbors.
"Wait for me here, I'll find you a blanket." After saying that, Xu Zhiyan stood up under Xu Xiaohua's admiring gaze, walked to the door, and opened it.
The light in the rough house leaked out.
Lights up the corridor.
It also illuminates the house number directly opposite.
【1402】
Xu Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, walked out the door, and took a look at the door number of the room he had just opened.
【1401】
In other words, he used the key to the haunted house to open the door of the room opposite the haunted house?
He finally understood why a strange parent-child mission was triggered.
It turned out that the game discovered that he failed to enter the haunted house successfully, and deliberately came to mess with him, so he was assigned such a task?
The barrage couldn't help but feel nervous for him.
[Ahhhh! Does that mean the haunted house is still here? ]
[Tsk tsk, this is not good enough for a small millionaire. He didn’t even look at the house number? ]
[The corridor was so dark at the time, Xiao Baiwan had a preconceived notion that everyone's room was 1402, and then the key opened it, so he didn't think too much about it.]
[Oh, what should I do now? ]
[What else can I do? I have to go ahead with it, or I can just give up the mission.]
[Look! Little Millionaire is gone...]
There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind.
Xu Zhiyan knew that if he didn't enter the real murderer's house today, the system would not let him go.
If Xu Xiaohua's favorability decreases, he will not be able to return to the temporary accommodation room he just got.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan did not hesitate any longer. He held the electric shock weapon he had tried before in his hand and walked straight to room 1402.
He is no longer the useless person from the previous copies! As the owner of the safe house, he can still come up with a few offensive items!
“Boom boom boom—”
Xu Zhiyan, with one hand behind his back, knocked on the door of room 1402.
The melodious music inside suddenly stopped.
After a moment, the door opened.
Xu Zhiyan froze in place, not even having time to draw out his weapon to attack the monster inside.
The person who opened the door was standing barefoot on the smooth floor. His lower body was wearing loose black pants that were stained with some paint, and his upper body was wearing a black shirt that was unbuttoned, exposing part of his chest.
Xu Zhiyan's gaze was fixed on the other person's face. Under the sultry gold-framed glasses was a familiar face.
It's Bai Jin...
That is the face of a ghost.
"What can I do for you? Come in and talk."
As he spoke, the man with the same facial features as those of a ghost narrowed his eyes, smiled, opened the door, and invited the young man outside to come in.
Xu Zhiyan calmed down and couldn't help wanting to laugh.
#One of our own! Isn't this easy? #
#The opening game is a king bomb with incredible luck! #
He felt that he was extremely lucky.
According to the previous practice, the slices of Party A were not very smart and would not take the initiative to hurt others.
The thugs are coming!
Moreover, this guy is wearing glasses and his temperament is somewhat similar to the one in the safe house. He is a little cold and should be more rational.
However, just as Xu Zhiyan stepped one foot into Room 1402, he glanced inside and quickly retracted his foot.
He didn't care about the panel and it bounced to the ground like firecrackers.
He turned and was about to leave.
"Oh, it's okay. I have a friend waiting for me outside. I remembered the wrong room..."
In the living room, he saw a still life table.
On the table, corpses were hung in strange postures, suspended in mid-air with painful expressions.
There is an easel on the side.
Above is the unfinished painting of the room's owner.
But Xu Zhiyan evacuated too late.
The moment he turned around, someone grabbed his wrist.
I saw the owner of room 1402 standing in the house. The expression on his face when he looked over was not as normal as before, but rather a bit of morbid intoxication and fascination.
“You have beautiful eyes.”
“Can I draw you a picture?”
"Can I refuse?"
Xu Zhiyan turned his head away, cursing in his heart.
How could this be?
Why is he another pervert!
Obviously, his client looks pretty normal, right? The most important thing is that he doesn't look easy to fool.
