Chapter 7 Life

Time goes back to yesterday, before Xia Yuan arrived at the villa.

When he saw the terrifying scene reflected from the window from the telescope, his first reaction was to escape immediately and then look for clues about the ghost.

However, just as Xia Yuan was reversing and about to leave, suddenly... a bloody hand appeared on the hood in front of the car!

Before I could react, a touch of black completely covered the window glass.

Xia Yuan only saw a pair of wide open mouths in his eyes, and he was completely swallowed up!

And... Xia Yuan, who appeared in front of Ying Ziye and the others after this, was actually...

The moment Ying Ziye saw the truth in the mirror, he rushed towards the window beside him and suddenly jumped out! Then, she didn't look back at all and ran towards the fence desperately!

Ying Ziye studied the blood words repeatedly and finally came to a conclusion. The blood words said that ghosts would transform into something that they thought was "very normal". But the problem is that no one would feel that anything in the haunted house, even like ordinary furniture, would feel that it was very normal. The existence of the haunted house itself is already abnormal.

Then in that case, it can still be regarded as normal in everyone's eyes, and only residents are the only ones to consider.

"Things"... At first, Ying Ziye was confined to the literal meaning and was not very confident in her inferences, but then she felt relieved. For the apartment, what is the difference between them and "Things"? They are just toys used to play with torture.

After Ying Ziye came to that conclusion, considering that there was a chance to transfer the contract, only Xia Yuan who went to the villa in advance, and Li Yin seemed to coincide with her, because he once asked Ying Ziye on the phone: "Do you feel something wrong with Xia Yuan?"

In fact, Li Yin asked Oda Cheshiko about this question, but the latter still didn't feel that way.

Could it be that you guessed wrong?

He also took the last step, asked Xia Yuan to answer the phone, and asked him several questions that only Xia Yuan knew. However, he answered one by one. At that point, Li Yin basically ruled out his assumptions.

However, in case of precaution, he still warned Ying Ziye not to approach the mirror. After all, it is possible that Xia Yuan would reveal the true appearance of the ghost when he stood in front of the mirror. According to his previous experience, some ghosts would occasionally reveal their true appearance in the mirror.

Ying Ziye is very dangerous at the moment, and if Xia Yuan is transferred by a ghost, then she will definitely die next. To survive, she can only find the ghost incarnation, so that she can leave the villa in advance. In the end, Ying Ziye also thought of this assumption and used a mirror to verify it.

Ying Ziye grabbed the fence, jumped, and went outside the fence. Then he took out the car keys that Tang Wenshan had pre-allocated for her and opened the car door parked outside the villa.

She just got into the car and started the engine and looked at the side from the corner of her eyes, but... there was no movement.

But this is even more terrifying...

The car started, and Ying Ziye just stepped on the accelerator. Suddenly, she went from the rear mirror of the car... and saw that the terrifying evil ghost was sitting in the driver's seat of the car in Xia Yuan behind her!

Ying Ziye stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car rushed out like an arrow!

These sections of roads in the suburbs are very remote. Ying Ziye only thought about getting to the city, and he could find a way to get rid of it with more cars.

If...if... it would have been great...

Although the speed is constantly increasing, the cars behind are still chasing each other.

However, Ying Ziye was not nervous. She saw a rule in Li Yin's notes. Generally, on the way back to the apartment, the initial pursuit of ghosts would not be too tight, and residents had a great chance of escape. The closer they were to the apartment, the more terrifying the ghosts would be, and the harder they could escape.

Now the evil ghost is chasing her in the same way as a human, and does not show any special abilities, such as suddenly appearing in her own car, or being close to the outside of the car, and it is not as exaggerated as in horror movies. You can catch up with the car by running or crawling alone.

Before returning to the apartment, she still has the opportunity to imagine how to escape.

Li Yin's notes say that ghosts cannot be killed by any means. In the past, residents have experimented with splashing black dog blood, hanging up the image of Zhong Kui, wearing a cross, going to Mount Wutai to ask the monk to consecrate amulets, and buying evil-removing talismans, which are not useful. In the past, a resident bought a peach wood sword to cut off ghosts, but he died in a very miserable way.

In short, the residents have tried all the folk legends of exorcising ghosts and fighting ghosts, and none of them can work. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to kill ghosts. This is exactly the same as those unsolvable horror movies.

And the only "solve" is to escape back to the apartment.

Ghosts are all idealistic, and residents can only escape by physically feasible materialistic methods. However, some people can still successfully escape back to the apartment. To sum up, either the luck is very good, the ghost is a little slower and lets it enter the apartment, but the possibility of success is too low; more because other residents are stepping stones, when the ghost kills those residents, some other residents escape into the apartment.

In other words...

If only one person survived and escaped back to the apartment, it would be extremely dangerous. Ying Ziye has been avoiding this situation, but now it still happens.

Even if you are alone, even if you can survive now, the closer you get to the apartment, the more dangerous you are. From entering the community to that alley, and then to the gate of the apartment, as long as the ghost is ambushing in any place, you will fall into a state of endless doom. Especially the alley that must be passed by in the apartment, it is quite narrow, and only two people can pass through together, and there is no way to avoid it. Li Yin also mentioned in his notes that a resident thought of a way to climb into the wall next to the alley and run back to the apartment, but in the end he found... if he hadn't walked on the alley, he could only walk into a dead end and could not enter the open space where the apartment was.

In other words... the only way to walk on that alley! There is no way at all! And that road can only be walked, and there is no other way to exist!

I have been driving for more than ten minutes, and although the car behind me is chasing me, I have never surpassed myself. However, once I enter the city, it will probably be very troublesome.

Li Yin mentioned in his notes that none of the ghosts he has encountered are afraid of the sun or crowded scenes. Even if they still appear in public places where many people gather, they are often visible to only residents.

At this time, Ying Ziye casually glanced at the passenger seat... What caught his eye was a face with a pair of blood-red pupils, a broken chin, and a connection with his mouth with only a few tendons!

Ying Ziye didn't have time to react, but felt his body fall and then fell on the cold floor!

I stood up and saw... I actually appeared on the floor of the haunted villa!

Ying Ziye didn't even frown, but immediately stood up and ran towards the villa gate. But... at this moment, a black suit surged out behind her-

She immediately turned around and looked... At this time, the evil ghost's body suddenly appeared in front of her, and Ying Ziye immediately felt as if she was bound.

Li Yin was waiting in the lobby on the ground floor with some residents. There were many people gathering, after all, most of them were very concerned about Xia Yuan's life and death. At this time, the elevator door opposite suddenly opened, and then a short but pretty girl walked out. She is the shortest stay at the apartment except Ying Ziye. She was the one who lived in the apartment during her stay in Youshui Village. She was named Xia Xiaomei. She was a very optimistic and cheerful girl who came to K City to study in college alone. Even though she lived in such a terrifying apartment, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she said: "Since that's the case, isn't it enough to come back alive every time?"

Is this called stupidity or naiveness?

She should also be concerned about Ying Ziye's arrival, because she and Midye have a good relationship these days.

Suddenly, Li Yin saw a figure appearing at the door of the apartment! Li Yin looked there tightly, that... it was Ying Ziye!

At that critical moment, Ying Ziye suddenly thought of...

Xia Yuan... I'm afraid that he would be killed because he saw this evil ghost. Oda Qieko must have seen the ghost in the mirror, while Tang Wenshan went to the bathroom because he saw this evil ghost disguised as Xia Yuan...

Could it be...

Is it because I saw this ghost that I was killed?

The apartment completely fooled them all! The blood-word instructions mentioned that "find out the incarnation of the ghost and you can leave the villa early", which is actually to lead them into the path to hell!

Ying Ziye saw something in Li Yin's notes: "The apartment is not just about torture us. It gives us a lot of opportunities to escape. No matter which blood word is executed, there is a way of life. But... that will not be fixed."

"Overyone believes that any blood-word instruction is completely unsolvable, and the only way to escape back to the apartment is to escape. However, this is not the case. Every time, the residents will be given a hidden way of life, but it is not easy to detect or master this way of life. For example, the Youshui Village incident actually has a way of life. That way of life is not to approach A Xiu. The ghost should live in A Xiu's water tank, constantly killing people close to A Xiu, and finally killing A Xiu himself. In other words, living at A Xiu's house will not be able to avoid ghosts. As long as you try not to approach A Xiu, you can survive."

In this way... if you don't look for the incarnation of the ghost, or if you don't see the ghost, you will be safe and sound even if you stay for five days.

The way the apartment plays with them also includes those books. Using the words formed in the titles, it puts psychological pressure on them. In addition, the horrific consequences of ghosts seeking life in the past, everyone firmly believes that if the ghost incarnation is not found, they will inevitably die in the villa. Therefore... they will do everything to find them. The apartment is forcing them to a path that will never be restored!

However, Ying Ziye knew the only way to live.

Just as the evil ghost was about to stretch out his hand to Ying Ziye, Ying Ziye suddenly closed his eyes!

Then... she stood like that, and after a long time... nothing happened again.

In fact, the ghost can only be killed when the eyes can see it. Xia Yuan is the first to be the brunt, and the people who come later are the same. As long as the ghost appears within the sight of the eyes, you can kill you. But on the other hand, if you don’t see that ghost, there will be nothing. So the apartment asked them to find the ghost incarnation, which is to ask them to "see" the ghost.

So, as long as you close your eyes and don’t see that ghost, then nothing will happen.

She then kept her eyes closed and called a taxi before she could come back safely.

Li Yin was extremely excited. Although Xia Yuan's death surprised many residents, Ying Ziye was able to survive in such a critical situation!

After listening to her experience, many residents said incredibly astonished: "Just close your eyes and escape? Is that simple?"

"It's very simple," Ying Ziye said lightly: "But it's difficult not to notice it."

Li Yin also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't expect that even I was deceived by the apartment... I always thought that the life arrangements in the apartment were difficult to detect... I didn't expect that it was hidden in the blood-word instructions."

"Not necessarily." Ying Ziye said: "You may have noticed it, but... you dare not bet. After all, ghosts may still take lives on us, and no one dares to take that risk."

That's true.

Anyway, everything was finally solved.

That night, Ying Ziye had just finished taking a shower and walked out of the bathroom. At this moment, the doorbell rang. Ying Ziye heard Li Yin's voice: "Are you here? Miss Ying?"

She put on her clothes, walked over and opened the door. She asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Yin was stunned for a moment at first, but then said, "Miss Ying... Do you want to eat cake? I made the cake."

"I just brushed my teeth," Ying Ziye said, "but thank you. I will come to eat until tomorrow."
