Chapter 116 Sea Amusement Park (Twenty-Five)
As time passed, Ning Hanqi also felt the mental pressure gradually increasing. The owner of the dream seemed to realize that he was an outsider, and was subconsciously rejecting him.
Ning Hanqi wanted to leave here, but she didn't know how to wake up, so it was a bit difficult.
But her soul was injured, and staying here for a long time would only aggravate the injury. It was not that Ning Hanqi couldn't bear it, but she was afraid that Xia Yingnuan would worry. If she vomited blood in her sleep, Nuannuan would probably go crazy.
How to leave?
Time was limited, so Xia Yingnuan and the others first quickly cleaned the corridors on the remaining floors, and then returned to the second floor to clean up the mess.
Liu Zhou's head had long disappeared, and the puppet fragments also disappeared. They were probably taken away by Ren Qiu himself and recycled.
The two casually scanned the second-floor corridor, and a system prompt immediately popped up:
[Complete the main mission and clean the apartment corridor within three hours (1/1).]
Xia Yingnuan was happy to have some free time, and went to find Mo Shu with Ning Hanqi as planned.
Mo Shu lives on the fifth floor. She is a witch. I didn’t see her yesterday and I don’t know what kind of person she is.
As soon as I reached the stairs to the fifth floor, I heard a commotion ahead.
Ning Hanqi's eyes darkened slightly as he looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw several figures fighting near Mo Shu's room.
Xia Yingnuan hid behind her, squinted her eyes, and recognized two of them - Zhang Wanjing and Lu Jun.
The other two people were a thin woman with short hair, wearing a thick mask on her face, so her expression could not be seen clearly; the other was a petite girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, pure and lovely.
Lu Jun used his arms to strangle the short-haired woman's neck and pushed her against the wall. The short-haired woman struggled desperately, but to no avail.
The petite girl looked very anxious. She stretched out her hand to block Lu Jun's arm, and turned her head to say something anxiously to Zhang Wanjing who was watching the show on the side.
Xia Yingnuan quickly determined that the short-haired woman was Mo Shu and the petite girl was Song Yun. Although she was far away and couldn't hear the specific content, she could tell that the petite girl's voice was the same as Song Yun's last night.
It seems that while the apartment complex doesn't allow violence between tenants and management, it doesn't restrict attacks between tenants. These people are incredibly energetic; surviving in this awful place is already difficult, and they're still resorting to all this nonsense.
Xia Yingnuan was just thinking about it when she heard someone next to her say, "Let's go watch a show."
After saying that, Ning Hanqi walked out, and Xia Yingnuan hurriedly followed her.
As she got closer, she heard Zhang Wanjing's delicate voice: "Mo Shu, just give us the potion. Why make everyone unhappy?"
Although Mo Shu was held tightly, she remained silent and turned away without looking at them.
Song Yun wanted to go forward to help Mo Shu, but was blocked by Zhang Wanjing. In a hurry, she simply opened her mouth and bit Zhang Wanjing's arm. Zhang Wanjing seemed to feel no pain and let her bite for a while, then suddenly swung her arm and pushed her aside.
Xia Yingnuan's heart moved slightly. She wondered what the potion Zhang Wanjing mentioned was that could make these people so excited and start fighting in the corridor.
When Song Yun saw them, he felt like he had seen a savior. "Miss Administrator, please help us!"
As she spoke, she reached out to grab Ning Hanqi's sleeve, her big eyes filled with tears, and I felt pity for her.
But Ning Hanqi seemed to be completely unimpressed. She looked at her as if she were a piece of wood and lightly dodged Song Yun's outstretched hand.
She turned to the other three who were still in a stalemate and said, "Let her go."
Ning Hanqi stood in a relaxed posture, his tone was indifferent, and there was not much emotion in his dark golden eyes, but they gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Lu Jun glanced at her and subconsciously let go of his hand.
Ning Hanqi asked: "What's going on?"
"Administrator sister, why do you look so scary?" Zhang Wanjing blinked and smiled at her, "We were just joking with Mo Shu."
After saying that, she tilted her head to look at Mo Shu, "Right?"
Mo Shu remained silent, neither nodding nor shaking her head.
Song Yun seemed to be hesitant to speak, but ultimately remained silent.
Zhang Wanjing's smile remained unchanged. "My boyfriend was not careful and made me angry. I'm sorry."
She tugged at Lu Jun's sleeve and said, "Hurry up and apologize."
Xia Yingnuan's gaze paused slightly.
Are these two actually a couple? I just feel like they don't match well.
The main problem lies with Zhang Wanjing. With her crazy personality, she doesn't look like someone who can fall in love.
Lu Jun was very obedient and immediately bent down and bowed, "Miss Mo, I'm sorry."
Zhang Wanjing turned to Ning Hanqi, her eyes flickering, "Is this okay?"
Ning Hanqi nodded slightly.
Xia Yingnuan was watching in amazement. Was Ning Hanqi some high-level player? Why did he talk to the NPC in such a way that he acted like a leader scolding his subordinates?
After Zhang Wanjing apologized, she took Lu Jun away, leaving the four of them alone.
Song Yun spoke first, "Would you like to come to my house and have a seat?"
Xia Yingnuan casually replied, "Okay."
She was more than happy to have more interactions with NPCs.
At this time, Mo Shu, who had not expressed anything, suddenly pushed open the door of her room. She raised her hand and made an invitation gesture.
Xia Yingnuan was slightly startled. Could it be that...
"That's right." Song Yun said softly, "Sister Mo Shu hurt her throat and can't speak. But it doesn't matter. I can tell you anything you want to know."
***
"I admit, I'm not a good person."
Xia Yingnuan was quite surprised to hear Song Yun say this.
Are you trying to gain their trust by being so open-hearted right from the start?
After being in the entertainment industry for so long, Xia Yingnuan has long been able to tell lies to different people. She often lies herself, so she is very familiar with the routine. In order to avoid being discovered, it is very important to mix the truth with the lies.
As long as you say a few convincing truths first, the rest of the content will easily be regarded as true.
She pretended to be curious: "Why do you say that? I think you are very nice."
"After this building was sealed off, some things gradually got out of control." Song Yun sighed and answered seriously, "To be honest, I also have some shameful methods. In order to protect myself, I have killed many people."
Ning Hanqi asked, "How long has this building been closed?"
"I don't remember." Song Yun seemed to have been suppressed for too long and began to talk to himself. "There's something wrong here. I'm in a daze every day and can't remember many things. I can't even remember how I got here. When I came to my senses, I couldn't get out. The food and water in the room were also decreasing day by day. I really don't know how long I can hold on."
Xia Yingnuan interrupted, "Don't you remember who the previous administrator was?"
As she expected, Song Yun looked confused and said, "I can't remember."
Ning Hanqi asked again: "What are the rules here?"
Song Yun said, "I don't know. It's all something everyone slowly came up with, and many people died in the process. Actually, everyone was quite friendly at the beginning, but things gradually changed. They started scheming against each other over trivial matters, and more people died because of personal grudges than because of the rules."
She paused, then said, "By the way, did Xue Lan give you apples?"
Xia Yingnuan remained calm, "How did you know?"
"Sure enough." Song Yun smiled bitterly, "I guessed it because she gave it to everyone, including me and Mo Shu."
Mo Shu, who had been silent all this time, finally responded after hearing this and nodded slightly.
Xia Yingnuan asked, "Then what is her purpose?"
"Xue Lan tampered with the apples. After we used Xue Lan's apples, we felt significantly outmatched when we fought her," Song Yun explained. "Xue Lan is a treacherous and cunning person who takes pleasure in killing people. She enjoys the process. This apartment is our hell, but it's her paradise."
"Many people fell into her trap and died at her hands. Mo Shu and I both have a grudge against her."
Ning Hanqi raised his eyes to look at her, "Tell me more specifically?"
Song Yun looked at Mo Shu with hesitation on his face, "Can I tell you about your story?"
Mo Shu nodded.
Seeing that she had no objection, Song Yun began to tell the story.
She first told her story.
Song Yun's best friend originally lived in the apartment, and the two depended on each other for survival, but later she was plotted against by Xue Lan. Since then, she has hated Xue Lan and has been at odds with her.
But Xue Lan was too powerful, and the apartment was full of dangers. She had difficulty even protecting herself, let alone taking revenge.
As for Mo Shu's story, it is similar to hers, except that the friend is replaced by a lover.
Mo Shu is good at using poison. She has always wanted to seek revenge on Xue Lan, but she is no match for him and is tricked by him into drinking poison.
Fortunately, Mo Shu had been making drugs for a long time and her drug resistance was much higher than that of ordinary people. She quickly used the antidote on herself and her life was saved, but her voice was still made hoarse by the poison.
Xia Yingnuan digested the two stories carefully and didn't find anything wrong.
If Song Yun's explanation was correct, Xue Lan giving them apples made sense. If she were Xue Lan, and two individuals of unknown strength suddenly appeared on her territory, unable to attack, she would definitely find it extremely annoying. If she couldn't eliminate them, weakening them would be a good idea.
But she felt that things couldn't be that simple. Xue Lan looked at them with the glare of a jackal, blatantly greedy. She didn't believe that the other party simply wanted to weaken them.
Xia Yingnuan thought for a moment and then asked, "Did you know that Liu Zhou is dead?"
Song Yun was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. "Really? People die here every day, it's nothing unusual. Who knows when it will be my turn?"
Ning Hanqi said calmly: "But he seems to like you very much."
Song Yun's expression was indifferent. "He always harasses me. I'm not familiar with him."
At this moment, Mo Shu suddenly stood up and pulled out a password box from the drawer. She unlocked it with her fingerprint, took out two small bottles, and handed them to Xia Yingnuan.
Xia Yingnuan took it subconsciously. The bottle contained a colorless, transparent liquid that shone a cold light under the light. Before she could ask what it was, Song Yun beside her whispered, "What are you..."
Mo Shu nodded at her, then turned to Xia Yingnuan and made a "drink it" gesture.
A system prompt pops up:
Congratulations to the player for obtaining the [Cleaning Agent]. Take it orally to remove one of their own debuffs.
Xia Yingnuan was slightly stunned. The system prompts never lie. Could it be that the two people in front of her really wanted to help them?
However, in an apartment where everyone is in danger, NPCs are showing goodwill one after another. This is too strange. It is better to be careful.
Seeing that she was silent, Song Yun took the initiative to explain, "This is a potion that Mo Shu spent a lot of time researching. If you drink it, you can eliminate the negative effects of Xue Lan's apple. Lu Jun and the others wanted to grab it just now. After all, everyone has to be careful of Xue Lan."
Ning Hanqi asked Mo Shu, "Why are you helping us?"
Mo Shu was silent for a moment, then gestured a few times towards Song Yun.
"She said, thank you for your help just now."
Song Yun sighed, her tone melancholy. "She also said that you two seem so close, and it reminds her of the days when she was with her lover. She doesn't want you to go down the same path as her."
Xia Yingnuan always felt that something was wrong. This whole process went on so smoothly, perhaps too smoothly.
She wanted to ask a question, but didn't know where to start. While she was thinking, Ning Hanqi spoke first: "Ask a question."
Xia Yingnuan was delighted. Great minds think alike. Listening to what Ning Hanqi had to say would definitely inspire her.
Song Yun seemed to be prepared and nodded, "Ask."
A flash of pure curiosity flashed across Ning Hanqi's golden eyes. She pointed at herself and then at Xia Yingnuan who was listening attentively beside her.
"Do we two look like lovers?"
Xia Yingnuan:...?
Sister, my thoughts are confused.
All her bad premonitions had become reality.
That would be fine, but the more terrifying thing was that those creatures' ultimate goal was to kill the Sea God without bloodshed. Just thinking about it sent chills down her spine. But what could a human like her, living under the protection of the Sea God, do? Before any gods or administrators, she was as insignificant as an ant.
"You don't need to worry about the Sea God. He is very powerful, and there will be no problem for the time being..."
Not nervous? How could she not be nervous? How could a girl who could be coaxed into helping the Sea God exterminate "bugs" with just a few words calm down after suddenly hearing that the Sea God was in danger?
Although what he said was the truth, it was inevitable that there was an element of taking advantage of a teenage girl. Ning Hanqi felt a little guilty with the little bit of conscience he had left.
"I, I know that you all are not ordinary people. I asked Zhuang Zhuang to say these things to me not only to remind me to be careful." She has seen too many people who want to take advantage of her. The girl who survived in the copy until now is not stupid, otherwise the Sea God would not be able to save her.
