Chapter 292 The Couple Next Door
Oh no, I've fallen into my habit of feeling embarrassed for others again. I'm digging my toes into the ground and creating a three-bedroom apartment.
I'm dying of laughter! This is truly a battle of wits with thin air; they played for most of the day only to find there was no one there.
[After watching Apartment 444 so many times, this is the first time I feel the killer is a bit stupid.]
[I'm laughing so hard I'm honking like a goose!]
The serial killer seems furious, but thankfully Yueyue wasn't in the room and escaped unharmed.
[That can't be right, Yueyue wasn't in the room, shouldn't the one who escaped this fate be the murderer?]
[Exactly, have you forgotten how powerful Yueyue was at tearing apart the Weirdos?]
No matter how powerful a serial killer is, he's still a dungeon boss. If you could just tear a dungeon boss apart with your bare hands, wouldn't you be able to roam freely in the dungeon?
[Actually, it could also be that Yueyue's wife and the dungeon boss are in love.]
[As I said, the serial killer isn't the boss of the dungeon.]
This comment was quickly scrolled down, and not many other comments noticed it.
Jiang Liyue didn't sleep very well that night, mainly because she had just fallen asleep when she heard a "woo-woo-woo" sound that sounded like crying.
The sound was constantly ringing in my ears; it was incredibly annoying.
Jiang Liyue turned over again, and when she realized the sound was still going on, she got angry.
Who would understand? She was trying to sleep peacefully at night when a ghostly, wailing sound surrounded her in 3D surround sound. She really couldn't stand it.
So without thinking, Jiang Liyue threw off the covers, stood up from the bed, and carefully tried to pinpoint the source of the sound.
Upon listening, she realized that the sound was coming from next door, the same door where the couple had been arguing when she was signing the contract that night.
When she got up to listen, the sobbing continued, as if the girl intended to cry all night.
Although the description of the dungeon mentions that a killer will appear at night, the notices for Apartment 444 do not say that tenants are not allowed to go out at night.
So Jiang Liyue decided to go and argue with the person next door. Even in a dungeon, there should be rest time, and their routine shouldn't be disturbed!
Jiang Liyue, wearing a white ankle-length nightgown, took out a black coat from inside the room, put it on, and then pushed open the door to go out.
She stood in front of door number 1807 and politely knocked twice.
But as soon as she knocked on the door, the crying inside suddenly stopped, and there was no sound at all.
Jiang Liyue blinked: Hmm?
"Hello, I'm your new neighbor who just moved in next door," she introduced herself.
After the words were spoken, sounds returned from inside: footsteps and the sound of crying resumed.
Soon, the door was opened, and a man with a flushed face, reeking of alcohol and with a stubble beard opened the door: "What is it?"
It was pitch black behind him, clearly because the lights were off.
The man was still a little annoyed. The sudden knocking at the door late at night had made him think they had been chosen by a serial killer tonight, and he had been trembling with fear.
Who knew it turned out to be a neighbor from next door.
However, when the man opened the door and saw Jiang Liyue standing in the corridor, wearing a white dress and a black coat, her face appearing exceptionally fair and beautiful in the dim corridor light, his expression immediately changed.
His gaze lingered lewdly up and down Jiang Liyue, looking utterly disgusting.
Jiang Liyue tilted her head, looking innocent and kind: "Hello, I've been hearing someone crying in your house. Could you please be a little quieter? Everyone is resting at night."
The man was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting that the knocking on his door so late at night would be for such a reason.
His cloudy eyes darted around before he finally managed a fake smile: "I'm sorry, my wife is in a bad mood today, that's why she's been crying. I've tried to comfort her but nothing works. Young lady, you and my wife are both women, why don't you come in and help me talk to her?"
Such a clumsy lie would not be believed by anyone with a modicum of social experience.
What's more, right after he finished speaking, there were whimpering sounds and the sound of something falling to the ground coming from inside the room.
But who can blame her when she's in front of men? She's the innocent, kind, and naive Jiang Liyue.
She blinked, her eyes widening in surprise and worry: "Really? Then let me try to persuade them..."
The man opened the door, his murky eyes filled with lust as if he were looking at a little white rabbit willingly walking into the tiger's mouth.
He stepped aside to let Jiang Liyue in, and after she stepped into the dark room, he slammed the door shut.
Jiang Liyue's voice was somewhat puzzled: "Big brother, where is sister-in-law? Why don't you turn on a light so I can see her?"
She seemed completely unconcerned about the closed door.
"Oh, I just turned off the light because I was going to sleep. I'll turn it on right away."
The next moment, the man turned on the lights. It was unclear whether there was a problem with the power supply, but the lights in apartment 444 were all very dim.
Even with the lights on, the room was still extremely dark.
Their room was littered with beer bottles, and in front of the coffee table, a woman covered in injuries lay on the floor, a broken beer bottle beside her.
No wonder the room reeked of alcohol.
Clearly, this was the sound Jiang Liyue heard outside the door.
The woman's mouth was taped shut, her eyes were full of tears, and she frantically shook her head at Jiang Liyue, as if telling her to run away.
Clearly, this is a scene of domestic violence.
Jiang Liyue frowned.
Behind him, a man's disgusting voice came: "Damn it, you've been discovered. Too bad the door's closed, you can't escape now."
"Hehe, you actually came to my door to play with me so late at night, you weren't doing this on purpose, were you?"
The man waited to see Jiang Liyue's terrified expression.
To everyone's surprise, she turned her head and curled her lips into a half-smile: "The door's closed? That's perfect."
She was completely different from her innocent and naive self just now.
The man subconsciously sensed something was wrong, but his alcohol-numbed brain couldn't process anything. He reached out to grab Jiang Liyue's hand.
Before they could even touch, Jiang Liyue lifted her foot and kicked his leg.
The man lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground with a loud thud.
He let out a painful scream, and after regaining his senses, he became even more frantic, trying to grab Jiang Liyue.
His face, which had initially been flushed from drinking, gradually became distorted, and the lights in the room began to flicker incessantly.
The man's eyes turned bloodshot, giving him a bizarre appearance.
"Damn it, damn it, that damn woman!"
He believed he was now brimming with power: "I'm going to teach you, you ungrateful human, a lesson!"
He had barely finished uttering those harsh words when he was kicked to the ground again. This time, a pair of feet were placed on his head, and the man couldn't even move.
That doesn't make sense, does it?
He was a supernatural being, so how could he be trampled on the ground by a human girl?
Doesn't he have any pride?
The man writhed wildly, like a maggot writhing in a fit of impotent rage.
Jiang Liyue: ...
She disdainfully stomped on the man's four limbs, breaking them.
Okay, now he can't even lay his pupae on the ground; he can only lie there like a dead dog.
Doesn't this look much better?
