Seeing Xiao Shun plunge headfirst into the parking lot of Bincheng Building, I stopped in my tracks and didn't chase after him.
This Bincheng Building is incredibly eerie; even ghosts dare not venture into it easily, which gives you an idea of just how sinister it is.
My constitution makes me extremely susceptible to evil influences; if I were to actually go in, it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
I stood there pondering for a while, then noticed a man passing by. I quickly went up to him, grabbed him, and said it directly.
"Brother, I'll give you five hundred yuan. Can you help me get a child out of the parking lot?"
Upon hearing this, the man sneered and replied, "I'll give you a thousand, you can go by yourself!"
I didn't give up and asked several more passersby, but the answers I got were all the same.
I made up my mind that going into that building was absolutely out of the question. If all else failed, I would have to resort to force to get Uncle Niu to talk.
As for whether Xiao Shun will encounter any misfortune in the Bincheng Building, to be honest, I don't care at all, and I don't have the mind to care.
Let alone him, even if it were Su Mingyang, I would not hesitate to give up on him when it came to a life-or-death situation.
I do not possess a [earthly soul], and from the bottom of my heart, I have no emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.
In my eyes, human life is as insignificant as an ant's.
The smiles and expressions of sympathy that occasionally appear on my face are nothing more than a result of my own hard work in order to survive normally in this society and avoid being treated like a monster.
Over time, this develops into muscle memory.
In certain situations, muscles will automatically produce the appropriate facial expressions, but the person is actually completely unmoved inside.
Just as I was worrying, I suddenly remembered the shopkeeper who had some skills.
If she can be of help, that would be wonderful.
If that doesn't work, I'll have to go back and force Uncle Niu to talk.
I immediately turned and walked towards the convenience store.
What surprised me was that the shop was closed in broad daylight.
Could they have gone out?
Just as I was about to leave, the window upstairs opened.
As soon as she saw me, the plump proprietress rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Why are you here again? Haven't I told you so many times, you unlucky bastard, don't hang around here and bring bad luck with you."
I ignored her sarcastic remarks and asked directly, "Boss lady, could you help me get a child out of Bincheng Building?"
Upon hearing this, the plump proprietress burst out laughing.
"Are you kidding me? Don't you know what kind of place that Bincheng Building is? Why should I help you? Besides, you don't even have a [Earth Soul], where do you get any compassion? You want to save a little kid?"
I replied expressionlessly, "I'm looking for that child because I have something to ask his grandfather, but I can't find him, and his grandfather won't tell me."
The plump proprietress responded with an "oh".
Seeing that she was unwilling to help, I turned around and prepared to leave.
But then the plump proprietress called out from behind, "Where are you going?"
I stopped, looked up at the window, and said coldly, "Go back and force that old man to talk."
Upon hearing this, the plump proprietress's eyes widened, and she pointed at my nose, scolding, "You child, you really have no conscience! You'll do anything to achieve your goals!"
After saying that, she added with a sneer, "What kind of feelings can someone who can even devour the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and lungs of their own family have? I think you're just a cold-blooded animal."
I was completely baffled by what they said.
I may be emotionless, but I'm not a beast. When did I ever eat the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and lungs of my own family?
I lifted my leg to leave again, but the plump proprietress called me back once more.
"Forget it, forget it, I guess I'm just unlucky. I'll help you out."
Before I could even speak, she added, "But let me tell you, you have to come with me!"
"I'm not going!"
Without thinking, I turned around and left.
I know I'm being a bit ungrateful.
People are trying to help me out of kindness, but I want to ignore them.
In my opinion, it's less risky and safer to go back and threaten Uncle Niu than to go to Bincheng Building.
The plump proprietress was so angry when she saw me like this that her face contorted with rage: "You ungrateful wretch! If you come with me, I can help you sort out your problems. You'd better think about it!"
After weighing the pros and cons, I nodded: "Deal!"
The plump proprietress told me to wait a moment while she prepared some things.
A few minutes later, the plump proprietress came out.
He was dressed in a long black robe, completely covered from head to toe, even his face was mostly obscured, only his eyes were visible, and he was holding a black umbrella in his hand.
“Hold me!” The plump proprietress reached out her hand.
I thought I had misheard, and hesitated to reach out my hand.
"If you want to live, hurry up and pull. Without the [Earth Soul], going in like this is no different from Tang Sanzang entering the Women's Kingdom."
I quickly grabbed her hand.
...
The parking lot of Bincheng Building was pitch black. Even though it was broad daylight, the moment you stepped into that shadow, you felt a chill run down your spine.
Several yellow talismans were still pasted on the wall at the entrance of the parking lot. The paper of the talismans was already somewhat damaged and the color had become much duller.
There were also many words written crookedly on the wall.
Things like "Give me back my life!", "Run! They're coming out!", and "Die!"
The handwriting looked as if it were written in blood, exuding an indescribable eeriness.
The further you walk into the parking lot, the dimmer the light becomes.
At the turnstiles, there was a large pile of sandbags, with barbed wire wrapped around them.
However, a cut had been made in the barbed wire, just big enough for a person to squeeze through.
