Chapter 163
It was a very difficult night for many players.
It was evening when they entered the playground. Night came so quickly that they only had time to understand the process with their companions at the beginning before hurriedly returning to their rooms.
Then, you hear the doorbell ringing in your own room or the room next door, and the strange creatures in the building begin to visit the neighbors collectively.
Nothing appeared at the door of his room again, and Shen Yunzhe didn't care anymore. No matter what sound came from outside, he didn't go to look. Shen Yunzhe lay on the sofa and tried to sleep. In fact, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and it was time to rest for people with a regular schedule.
It is obvious that Shen Yunzhe has an irregular schedule.
Shen Yunzhe stared at the ceiling, his face expressionless as he looked at the reflection of the light on the ceiling.
No, it has nothing to do with the lighting.
"No, I think it's related." Shen Yunzhe sat up from the sofa. "This light is too annoying. It's causing me to be unable to sleep. This must be the culprit!"
[I rationally ask you to read the code name of the isotope you are currently substituting.]
"Of course the problem can't be me, it must be something external." Shen Yunzhe slapped the sofa, "I'm never wrong!"
[Okay, it's a lighting issue. Go and remove the bulb.] The system quickly compromised.
Shen Yunzhe was satisfied. He began to think about going up to remove the light bulb. At this moment, there was a bang. Shen Yunzhe suddenly turned his head to look at the door. There was a loud noise at the door and the door was vibrating. It was obvious that an external force was hitting the door.
"You're disturbing the neighbors!" Shen Yunzhe didn't hesitate at all. He walked to the door and kicked it from the inside. "You're the only one who knows how to slam doors!"
“So annoying!”
The sound outside froze, as if the smash was halfway through and no one knew what was going on.
After a pause of about ten seconds, the sound of knocking on the door rang out again. Shen Yunzhe clicked his tongue and glanced at the notebook.
21:42: It's neither early nor late, but there's a sudden, urgent knock on the door. Who would knock at this hour? I still think I shouldn't open the door; it's too sensitive a time.
Shen Yunzhe made sure that there was nothing through the peephole, so he sneaked a peek outside.
The cat's eye was not very high, about 1.6 meters. When Shen Yunzhe looked over, a piece of black suddenly hit the cat's eye with a bang.
Shen Yunzhe raised his eyebrows slightly, and the black piece rose up, and Shen Yunzhe realized that it was a person.
The girl in 1-2 was standing at the door. She was wearing a white coat with a hood, and her black eyeballs reflected the pig-blood-red door. She banged her head against the iron door with great force, and with a loud bang, her head hit the iron door.
With two strokes, blood slid down her forehead.
She kept banging her head against the door of 1-1 as if she didn't feel any pain.
As she bumped into things, she started laughing. Blood quickly dyed her coat red, but she was giggling. Soon, Shen Yunzhe heard the sound of bones breaking. Her forehead was sunken in, and with an extremely strange and terrifying feeling, blood flowed down, dyeing the floor at the door red.
"Little strawberry cookies, little blueberry cookies." She sang as she knocked the cookies, her voice filled with sweet laughter, "Little mango cookies, little matcha cookies."
"What flavor of cookies do you like?"
"Little biscuit, little biscuit..." The girl finally stopped kowtowing.
She slowly turned around, walked back to the door of 1-2 step by step with blood on her feet, opened the door and walked in.
Shen Yunzhe glanced at the time, 21:54.
Then he turned his head and glanced at the notebook, where new words appeared.
[21:52: 1-2's neighbor seems to be researching the taste of the cookies. She seems sad that she didn't give out the cookies during the day. She hopes her cookies will be better than before.]
"Is this behavior related to making cookies?" Shen Yunzhe said, "It's clearly a public nuisance. Your notepad is biased against people."
As he said that, Shen Yunzhe picked up the pen and crossed out what he had just said.
"How can a notepad be prejudiced against people?" Shen Yunzhe wrote at the bottom of the notepad, "You must repent and correct your mistakes!"
After finishing writing, Shen Yunzhe looked at his handwriting with satisfaction.
[21:52: 1-2 The madman went crazy in the middle of the night and banged on someone else's door, disturbing the neighbors. He has no sense of public morality! The property management should come and fine him!]
Then Shen Yunzhe looked at the pool of blood at the door with disgust and added a sentence with his pen.
【Better clean up the door too! 】
After finishing writing, Shen Yunzhe threw the pen on the sofa, turned around and went into the bedroom.
There was no way to deal with the lights in the living room, and he didn't want to deal with it. He felt that he would be harassed one after another if he lay in the living room, so he decided to go into the bedroom. Although he couldn't sleep, at least he wouldn't encounter such a mess.
After entering the bedroom, Shen Yunzhe curled up in the quilt and closed his eyes, as if he was asleep and didn't move anymore.
The next day, Shen Yunzhe opened his eyes at five in the morning. He looked at the ceiling expressionlessly, especially the light coming through the ceiling.
[Yes, it's the light's fault.] The system took the lead and said, [I suggest you smash the window and change the curtains.]
Shen Yunzhe nodded in satisfaction, "You're learning pretty quickly, little system. You're a teachable kid."
He felt better, so he got out of bed and went to the living room. The living room was no different from when he left. Shen Yunzhe first took a look at the notebook. There was no record in the notebook after he left, only the graffiti left by Shen Yunzhe last night.
Shen Yunzhe took a look through the peephole and was surprised to find that the bloodstains at the door had disappeared.
He opened the door, and a very faint smell of blood rushed into Shen Yunzhe's nostrils, telling Shen Yunzhe that what happened last night was indeed true, especially the door of his house, which was indeed a little dented, and there was a little dried blood on the dent.
"Wow, who's so public-spirited that they cleaned the door for me overnight?" Shen Yunzhe exclaimed. "This level of work efficiency should be put up for commendation."
With a click, the door in front of him opened, and a small gap appeared at the door 1-3, and an eye appeared from the gap, looking at Shen Yunzhe.
"Hello." It was a slightly weak male voice. "I'm a resident of 1-3."
"Good morning." Shen Yunzhe looked at him. "Did you help me clean the door?"
"No." The gap in the doorway of boys 1-3 was smaller than before. "I didn't clean your doorway."
Shen Yunzhe walked over and asked, "Are you afraid of people?"
The gap in the door became smaller, almost completely closed, and the eye became one-third of an eye. "I have a bit of social anxiety, so I moved to Xiangsheng Community."
The man said, "Everyone in Xiangsheng Community is a good person, and I can make my wish come true. That's why I came here."
"Thank you for talking to me."
After saying that, 1-3 closed the door with a click. Shen Yunzhe stood at the door, touching his chin. He turned his head to look at the wish list at the door of 1-3.
【I want to overcome social anxiety. 】
"That's right." Shen Yunzhe nodded in agreement. "Why should we be afraid of ghosts? Ghosts are fake. The scary things are humans. Ghosts are also man-made monsters. There is nothing scarier than humans."
As he said this, he turned his head and looked to the other side with interest. It was the door of 1-2.
Shen Yunzhe walked to the door of 1-2 and looked at the wish list at the door. He saw that the wish list was stained with red blood and the wishes were written in bold black with a black marker.
【I want to make friends who can eat cookies with me. 】
"Little biscuit..." Shen Yunzhe touched his chin, "I'm hungry. Is there a place to have breakfast?"
"Where should we go for breakfast?"
He turned around and prepared to go out, when at this moment a person came down from the stairs. After coming down, the person looked at Shen Yunzhe and their eyes met.
"Li Yiluan." Shen Yunzhe raised his hand. "Would you like to have breakfast together?"
"Breakfast?" Li Yiluan frowned slightly, and spoke after a moment, "Hiss, this seems to be a problem. I still haven't found a place to eat."
"No, I didn't come to you for breakfast." Li Yuluan quickly changed his mind.
He walked up to Shen Yunzhe and said, "There was a very loud scream last night. Can you tell if it came from this floor?"
"A very loud scream?" Shen Yunzhe looked at Li Yuluan in confusion, "Was there?"
"Of course, the whole building probably heard that sound." Li Yiluan looked at Shen Yunzhe, "You didn't hear it, did you?"
"No, I was in the bedroom last night. The bedroom is well soundproofed." Shen Yunzhe opened the door. "Come in and take a look. I flipped through the record book this morning, but didn't see any records."
Li Yiluan followed Shen Yunzhe into his room and checked his record book immediately.
Rather than confirming whether Shen Yunzhe heard the huge scream, the first thing Li Yulu saw was the record of 1-2, and Shen Yunzhe's disgusted modification of the record book.
Li Yilun: ...
"What are you looking at?"
"Are you sure you are the Shen Yunzhe I know?" Li Yiluan stroked his chin and admired the things on it. "Well, very unlucky and willful, it's Shen Yunzhe for sure."
"Because disturbing the public is disturbing the public, no matter what's on the other side." Shen Yunzhe said: "Suddenly banging on the door in the middle of the night, if there was no police phone number, I would have called the police long ago."
"You're the one who called the police in the game field. You deserve to be called." Li Yuluan sighed.
Then he added, "But it seems it wasn't my illusion."
"What?"
"Ten o'clock in the evening." Li Yiluan said: "Aside from that loud scream, the building was very quiet starting at ten o'clock. The strange creatures stopped visiting friends, and all the records stopped at ten o'clock."
"Maybe this ten o'clock is a landmark time, but it's not written in the rules, or the rules are somewhere else."
Shen Yunzhe smiled and said, "There's no need to write it down."
"Don't you know about the invisible rules?" Shen Yunzhe looked at him, his chin in his hand. "Many places have invisible rules. These are rules that are not stated openly, but everyone in the area abides by them."
Li Yiluan widened his eyes slightly. "Just like us fortune tellers, we all avoid certain places?"
"That's right." Shen Yunzhe said, "These rules are not laid out in the open. You can only slowly explore them on your own."
Some invisible rules that they don't know about and need to explore on their own.
This is very bad news, because exploring the rules means sacrifice, and these people are all old hands in the game field and know very well under what circumstances people die the fastest.
"Are there any other players on this floor?" Li Yiluan still remembered why he came here. "I'll go ask."
Shen Yunzhe thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."
Li Yiluan instantly realized something was wrong. He looked at Shen Yunzhe with a hint of subtlety in his eyes, "Is there something wrong?"
"It's probably just a slight violation of the rules. You should have seen it in the notebook just now."
Li Yiluan recalled the general information he had seen in the record book, "1-4?"
"Um."
1-4 was evaluated as dishonest and an unqualified resident, or in other words, many people should have been evaluated in this way last night.
When a strange creature knocks on the door, most players will pretend not to hear it, because in most cases this is the best way. People like Shen Yunzhe are the minority who will start a conversation.
So at the beginning Li Yiluan didn't care too much about this record.
The playground doesn't kill most players right off the bat.
But now that Shen Yunzhe said this, he felt a little worried in his heart. This worry told Li Yuluan that for someone like him who could see the future destiny, this worry meant something was wrong. Li Yuluan frowned and walked out of Shen Yunzhe's room, and Shen Yunzhe followed him out.
At this moment, with a creaking sound, Shen Yunzhe opened the door a crack again, and Li Yuluen was startled.
"Good morning." A red eye stared at them from the crack in the door.
Shen Yunzhe naturally blocked Li Yulu behind him. He glanced at the sign 1-3 at the door and said, "Good morning, neighbor."
His red eyes stared at them, and after a long moment he spoke again, "Where are you going?"
"We're planning to visit 1-4." Shen Yunzhe pointed to a door not far away. "I heard he just moved in too, and he seems to be around my age. One more friend means one more way. Maybe we can even invite him to play mahjong with us tonight."
"Oh, you're going to 1-4." Red Eyes said, his voice stumbling a little, "But there's no one in 1-4."
This sentence made Li Yuluan open his eyes slightly.
Shen Yunzhe looked at the red eyes through the crack in the door, "How could that be? I seemed to have seen him yesterday."
"He opened the door last night." 1-3's voice was very soft, like a whisper. This whisper, amplified by the entire corridor, seemed to be spoken next to the ear, which was very strange. "You just moved in and didn't know that you can't open the door after 10 o'clock at night, but he opened the door."
“And invited anyone who knocked on the door in.”
New rule: Do not open the door to anyone knocking after 10 p.m.
Shen Yunzhe squatted down, staring into the red eyes with a smile on his face, "So, neighbor, why is someone knocking on the door at ten o'clock in the evening? What is that knocking on the door?"
"I don't know, but the door can't be opened at ten o'clock." Red Eyes seemed a little uncomfortable with Shen Yunzhe's gaze. He closed the door and said, "Maybe it's the property management knocking on the door. As long as they don't open the door, it's fine."
The door of 1-3 slammed shut, and Shen Yunzhe turned around and looked at Li Yuluan.
Li Yuluan sighed, walked to the door of 1-4 and pressed the doorbell.
The doorbell rang in the corridor. Shen Yunzhe walked to Li Yuluan. He casually opened the wish list at the door and saw a flamboyant signature. Shen Yunzhe pulled Li Yuluan and motioned Li Yuluan to look at the words on the wish list.
Li Yuluan looked over in confusion, and the next moment he widened his eyes slightly.
Because the handwriting on the wish list was modified.
It started with: [Take a good bath], but those five words were crossed out and replaced with another sentence: [I hope the neighbors 1-2 won’t be angry.]
"He's very quick-witted. After facing a desperate situation, he found a third way." Shen Yunzhe said with interest, "He had already violated the rules and became a disqualified resident, but he couldn't knock on the door and actively ease the relationship with 1-2. So he changed his wish and asked 1-2's neighbors not to be angry."
Li Yiluan continued, "After all, we said it at the beginning of our stay: as long as you are pious, your wishes will come true."
How could a normal player think of this? It only shows that the player 1-4 is really amazing.
But he probably didn't expect that this community actually had an invisible rule that the door would not be opened to anyone after 10 o'clock in the evening.
Ding Dong, Li Yuluan pressed the doorbell again.
Still no one opened the door. The door was locked and it was extremely quiet inside.
"What should we do now? I don't think the door can be opened." Li Yiluan said, "We don't have the key."
Shen Yunzhe thought for a moment and said, "Let the property management open the door."
"The rules say there's no property management in the community."
"A community without property management is like a pile of loose sand, especially one without property management and unable to call the police." Shen Yunzhe sighed, "Forget it for now. Wait until three o'clock in the afternoon. If he doesn't come out, I'll break down the door."
Shen Yunzhe was eager to try, "I'm really good at breaking down doors!"
Li Yilun: ...
For some unknown reason I felt happy again.
