Chapter 294 New Goal
Outside the door came the sound of chopping, while inside, Liu Xi was pulling her along, her eyes filled with fear.
Jiang Liyue thought for a moment, but decided not to go out. Instead, she pulled Liu Xi to sit on the sofa.
Let her calm down a bit.
Judging from the description of the instance, the murderer is the strongest person in the entire 444 apartment. Although Jiang Liyue is confident in her own strength, she is afraid that there may be some kind of restriction.
For example, what if the murderer who is the dungeon boss has a buff that makes him unattackable?
That's quite possible, otherwise what if a group of players teamed up and took care of the killer at night?
Even if the players aren't strong, their sheer number, coupled with the various items available, might actually be able to take down the killer.
The mission in the instance is simply to find the killer, not to kill him.
Jiang Liyue understood this "finding" as finding the other party's true identity in apartment 444, rather than simply finding them in the literal sense.
Otherwise, Jiang Liyue could go out now and point at the murderer, saying she has found him.
Dungeon quests can't be that stupid.
As Jiang Liyue pondered, the sounds from next door gradually subsided, followed by the sound of something being dragged on the ground and heavy footsteps.
Soon, Jiang Liyue heard the elevator doors open.
The killer has probably left to find new prey.
Liu Xi, who was standing next to him, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "They're finally gone."
"Why is Sister Xi so afraid of that person outside?"
Jiang Liyue knew that Liu Xi was a monster, and a powerful one at that. The fact that she could be so frightened meant that the killer was quite powerful.
Liu Xi shook her head: "That's the murderer who lives in apartment 444, and the culprit who turned our apartment into this."
"His aura is terrifying. Although he won't eat something as strange as me, he could still give me a good beating."
Jiang Liyue blinked: "Huh? There's a serial killer in our apartment?"
Liu Xi didn't answer, but looked at her quietly for a long time before finally managing to utter a few words: "Stop pretending, Yueyue."
"Huh?" Jiang Liyue tilted her head.
Liu Xi then said helplessly, "Tenants like you come to our apartment every now and then. Anyway, you are all special. You always like to find out all kinds of information, and you even know about the existence of the serial killer. You may even be here specifically for the serial killer."
Jiang Liyue burst out laughing upon hearing this, showing no embarrassment at being exposed: "Is that so? Then I won't act anymore."
"But Sister Xi, could you tell me the specifics about the serial killer?"
"I don't know the specifics. All I know is that the serial killer suddenly appears and then likes to find someone to kill every night." Liu Xi scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.
A faint blush rose on her pale face: "Before, I would go out to work and then come back to be abused by my family every day. I was in a daze all day and didn't understand many things."
At this point, Liu Xi looked at the male ghost huddled up in a ball, and resentment rose in her heart again.
Unable to gather any further information, Jiang Liyue naturally didn't blame Liu Xi. She smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright. You'll have something to do from now on, Sister Xi."
Liu Xi looked at the trembling male ghost with a sinister gaze, a chilling smile spreading across her lips: "That's right, I have many things I can do."
For example, she could repay the man a thousandfold for the pain he had inflicted on her.
Knowing that the murderer had left and that Liu Xi's situation had been resolved, Jiang Liyue prepared to go and see how badly her home had been destroyed.
So she stood up from the sofa and waved to Liu Xi: "Well, Sister Xi, have fun, I'm going back now."
"How about I stay with you?" Liu Xi said worriedly, pulling Jiang Liyue along.
"No need, no need, it's just a short walk." Jiang Liyue smiled at her. "I'll come find you again tomorrow when I have time."
Liu Xi could only nod and say, "Mm."
Jiang Liyue then left Liu Xi's house.
She could tell that Liu Xi had suffered domestic violence for many years and had been locked up. Even though she had overcome her fear of her abusive husband, she was still afraid of going out.
That's why she refused Liu Xi's suggestion to accompany her out.
Although Jiang Liyue had heard noises outside from 1807 and anticipated that her room would be in trouble, she did not expect it to be this bad.
The door panel was clearly haphazardly chopped open with a tool like an axe.
The wooden door, which was not of very good quality to begin with, was split open, leaving a large enough hole for a person to enter.
The ground was covered with wood scraps.
There was a shallow trail of blood on the ground from her doorstep all the way to the elevator, which must have been left when he got on the elevator.
As for the drag marks, the killer hid them very well; he had actually gone up the stairs to the eighteenth floor.
This way, no one can be sure which floor the killer lives on.
I didn't expect them to be so cautious.
Jiang Liyue blinked.
The door was broken open, so she didn't need to take out her key to open it; she simply went in and out through the opening.
There were signs that the room had been ransacked, but fortunately the killer hadn't made too much of a mess.
Jiang Liyue tidied herself up casually, ignored the door which was practically useless, took off her black coat, and snuggled into the blankets to sleep.
She was exhausted from working late into the night.
As for the gate, we'll deal with it when we get up tomorrow morning.
Jiang Liyue wasn't worried about her safety. The murderer was unlikely to come up again, and as for the others, if they dared to enter her room...
You are very welcome.
As Jiang Liyue had expected, the murderer would certainly not return after leaving 1808.
But now he was filled with rage and had not found any prey, so of course he had to go looking for new prey.
He chose room 1808 simply because he thought the new tenant there smelled nice, and since the tenant wasn't there, he would go to the room with the strongest human scent tonight.
The serial killer twitched his nose, sniffing the scent of human flesh and blood in the air, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
He seemed to smell a very pleasant aroma from somewhere.
The serial killer dragged his axe up the elevator.
With a ding, the elevator stopped on the fourth floor.
Wow, it seems like there's a lot of prey hiding in here.
