Yin Zhu was a little surprised by this answer.
However, no one can be completely observant, otherwise she would have suspected that she was the real boss. So Yin Zhu quickly adjusted her mindset and asked with some curiosity, "Tell me, why can't you leave? Do I have to steal a mirror to take you with me?"
Jing Gui was surprised that Yin Zhu was still thinking of taking him away. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and spoke again with a hint of sarcasm: "I live as a member of the temporary apartment, and I die as a ghost of the temporary apartment. The mirror is just my fixed vessel, which does not mean that I cannot leave. However, I am able to survive here thanks to the protection of the temporary apartment."
“But you’re already dead…” Yin Zhu muttered under her breath.
"Shut up!" Jing Gui said angrily. "In short, my bond with this place cannot be replaced by your empty promises!"
Yin Zhu vaguely sensed something was off, and then it seemed like she suddenly realized something.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she suddenly spoke: "So if I don't lift the cloth off the mirror, can you stay in the room with me forever? You're usually bound by rules and can't leave the mirror, only being able to leave it freely when the mirror is covered for more than half an hour? And you can't go back for the time being?"
The mirror's dark features revealed no emotion, and it didn't utter a sound.
However, Yin Zhu had already gotten the answer she wanted. She abruptly walked to the window, pulled back the curtains, and peered outside. This action startled almost everyone watching the live stream from China, because they all remembered a rule written in the temporary apartment:
10. No matter which floor you live on, please do not peek out of your room. There is nothing outside the window worth looking at.
Some viewers who had watched live streams from other countries were well aware of the consequences of this action.
Just like the other chosen ones from the White Elephant Kingdom who had violated this rule before, when Yin Zhu stood at the window, she saw a building not far away and a man carrying a knife.
Blood dripped down the blade of the knife in the man's hand, and the source of the blood was a mangled object lying on the ground. Because it had been hacked to a point of being unrecognizable, Yin Zhu had difficulty distinguishing whether it was a male or female victim.
If we take into account the situation in the United States, we might also need to add the minority of victims.
Fortunately, this is the land of dragons, so it's not that complicated.
The ground there was stained with large patches of dark brown, or rather, varying shades, while the area beneath the victim's feet was stained with large patches of bright red because someone had just been murdered. The striking colors immediately drew Yin Zhu's attention to that spot.
The man raised the knife, seemingly preparing to wipe the blood off it, then suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the temporary apartment.
Yin Zhu, who was gazing into the distance, naturally met his gaze.
The man revealed a sinister smile and pointed a few times in the direction of Yin Zhu.
...
What is he doing?
"Aaaaaah, Yin Zhu, run! He's counting floors and room numbers!"
"Yin Zhu, stop staring blankly!"
"Butcher: 1, 2, 3, 4... Don't worry, I'll be at your doorstep soon."
While some viewers in the live stream were still confused, others had already figured out the man's actions at a glance. Whether it was because they themselves had criminal tendencies or had seen similar cases before, many viewers who knew the situation couldn't help but feel anxious for Yin Zhu.
But Yin Zhu on the screen wasn't in a hurry.
To be precise, when the camera cut back from the man to Yin Zhu's face, instead of showing any signs of anxiety, her eyes lit up, and she shouted loudly out the window:
"404! I live in 404!"
Comments: ?
Mirror Ghost: ?
Butcher:? ? ?
Think tank: ? ? ? ? ? ?
No, don't be reckless!
The butcher was caught off guard by Yin Zhu's actions and even began to wonder if it was a trap. But then he thought that this woman was probably trying to outmaneuver him and was using a ruse to avoid his arrival. So he kept a strange smile and headed straight for the temporary apartment.
Jing Gui was taken aback by her actions: "What are you doing?"
"He's all yours now. I guess you could say I owed you my life, and now I've paid it back." Yin Zhu said matter-of-factly.
"What the hell?" Mirror Ghost practically wanted to create a physical question mark above his head and smash it hard against this guy who looked like he was insane: "What if I don't eat it?"
"Anyway, they'll be here soon. Whether you get to eat depends on your skills. As for whether you want to eat or not, that's your own choice, and I won't interfere. So, who's stronger, you or him... Don't worry, I have a lot of confidence in you."
Yin Zhu's words almost made Jing Gui laugh.
At this moment, the butcher had already slowly come up in the elevator. There was only one elevator in the entire apartment building, and the stairs were unusable. Previously, the chosen one of the White Elephant Kingdom had waited for his death in despair under such circumstances.
Compared to the oppressive atmosphere in Bai Xiangguo's live stream room, Longguo's live stream room was in complete chaos.
Although everyone can see that Yin Zhu wants to use one wolf to devour another, the wolf Jing Gui is not a wolf that can directly kill people, but the tiger is a tiger that can actually eat people. So what should be done?
Time was of the essence, so Yin Zhu pulled out the key card from the power outlet, opened the door, and took advantage of her slender build to hide behind it.
Soon, heavy footsteps entered the room.
After seeing the person enter the house, Yin Zhu quickly turned around and left, closing the door behind her. She then headed straight for the elevator. Since the Butcher had come up by elevator, which was currently stopped on the fourth floor, Yin Zhu went in and pressed the button for the twelfth floor.
