"Old man, can you do a favor?"
"Even though you lost the ga again, there's no doubt your skills have improved. Having a strong opponent to practice with is invaluable."
Qin Nuo said tactfully.
The old landlord thought there was so truth to it and said, "Alright, what do you need?"
"Do you have the tenant information from ten years ago, back in 2011?"
"What do you need that for?"
Qin Nuo didn't answer.
The old landlord pondered for a mont and said, "I do keep the tenant information every year."
"But ten years ago... never mind, co by tomorrow. I'll look for it tonight."
"Thank you, old man."
Qin Nuo stood up to express his gratitude. Seeing the old man wave him off, eager to review the ga, he wisely took his leave.
As he reached the fourth floor, he suddenly heard a noise from upstairs, like sothing heavy hitting the ground.
While Qin Nuo was still puzzled, the ga announcent sounded in his mind: "Player 'Cobra' has been hunted by the killer!"
Qin Nuo was startled, quickly reacting and rushing up to the fourth floor.
In the corridor, Cobra's body was already lying on the ground, his head severed and rolled to the side.
"How did it move so fast?"
Qin Nuo frowned, walking over to check on Cobra.
Cobra turned into a cloud of gray mist and disappeared, clearly having respawned.
"Is it hunting players randomly, or is there so pattern?" Qin Nuo pondered.
"Let's head back first."
Qin Nuo stood up, and as he turned, a blood eye appeared on the back of his right hand. The Blood-Eyed Ghost said in a deep voice, "It's still here!"
Just as the words were spoken, Qin Nuo felt a strong killing intent enveloping the corridor.
The walls began to decay at a visible speed.
Qin Nuo's expression changed, swiftly drawing out a machete, as a shadow appeared out of nowhere in front of him.
Before the Blood-Eyed Ghost could act, Qin Nuo's head was already flying off.
Blood splattered on the walls, a vivid crimson!
...
"Sister Rose, I've got enough snacks to last us five days. We shouldn't go out, and we'll definitely make it to the end of the ga."
Princess Yao Yao sat on the bed, lightly tapping her snacks, calculating her plan, as she spoke to Black Rose.
"You're so... simple and cute."
Black Rose said with a forced smile, tying up her hair as she walked into the bathroom, "I'll take a shower first, you stay on the bed."
"Okay." Princess Yao Yao nodded obediently.
But at that mont, both of them heard the announcent in their minds that player Cobra had been hunted.
Less than two minutes later, the announcent that player Phantom had been hunted sounded!
"Two players killed in a row!"
Princess Yao Yao and Black Rose were stunned.
"Oh no, Phantom got killed too, doesn't he have one life left?" Princess Yao Yao said, covering her mouth.
Black Rose furrowed her brows.
Finally, she shook her head, "Those two are pretty much going to end up like Black Bear and the others, exiting the instance."
Phantom's few words had given Black Rose a glimr of hope for a turnaround.
But now it seed that in the face of the absolute difficulty of the horror ga, human intelligence was useless.
Inside room 404.
Qin Nuo appeared out of thin air, sitting on the bed.
After a few seconds of ntal blankness, he finally regained consciousness.
"Did I just get killed like that?"
Qin Nuo was bewildered.
Even without extracting mories, he didn't know who the killer was that attacked him.
In almost the blink of an eye, his head was gone!
He didn't even see the face!
"Did you see it, brother?"
The Blood-Eyed Ghost was also speechless, "I hadn't even made a move, and you were already gone."
"Ridiculously strong!"
Qin Nuo sighed, standing up and heading to the desk.
He saw the three nas on the notebook, with one crossed out.
"Last life, I identified Liu ng, but the ga is still ongoing, which ans Liu ng is cleared of suspicion."
The most suspicious one was ruled out.
"The second one is Xia Xinlu."
As Qin Nuo crossed out the na, he also entered Xia Xinlu's na in the instance interface.
Xia Xinlu.
Although this girl's neurotic behavior didn't seem fake, there was still a possibility of suspicion.
People have two sides.
A lunatic can have dual personalities.
Who knows if beneath a seemingly harmless exterior lies the personality of a killer?
Of course, this could also be Qin Nuo's imagination from reading too many novels.
"Player 'Cobra' has exited the ga early, instance completion failed!"
The ga announcent sounded again, but Qin Nuo's expression remained unchanged, as this was expected.
"Still, having four lives is impressive."
Qin Nuo mused, taking out a life-saving straw doll from the toolbar, palm-sized, tied with straw, with two black bean-like eyes, exuding a strong curse aura.
"Use the life-saving straw doll!"
Qin Nuo whispered.
The next second, the straw doll moved on its own, climbing onto Qin Nuo's hand, burrowing into his palm, and disappearing.
Qin Nuo looked at his palm, a hint of surprise on his face, "Is that how it works?"
Feeling no discomfort, Qin Nuo chose to rest instead of going out.
Ti was precious for Qin Nuo too.
If he got hunted three tis in one day due to recklessness, he'd have nowhere to cry.
On the seventh day at noon, Qin Nuo left the room.
The old landlord should have results by now.
At the front desk in the lobby, the old man was unusually not playing chess but lying on a lounge chair, humming a tune.
"Old man, did you find it?" Qin Nuo asked directly.
The old man tossed a yellowed, worn information book into Qin Nuo's hands.
"Return it by this ti tomorrow at the latest."
"No problem."
Qin Nuo went to the vending machine, bought so food and drinks, returned to his room, and opened the tenant information book, confirming it was indeed from 2011.
As he flipped through the pages, Qin Nuo gathered a lot of tenant identity information.
At that ti, Xiao Yuan's family of three, no... accurately speaking, a family of four, was still in room 301, with Little Yuan's Mom nad Gao Xinran.
The Fat Hobody Ghost also lived in 405, nad Hai Wuming, a recent graduate and unemployed.
Liu Ze from 406 was a construction worker doing manual labor.
Liu ng's family from 302 had parents who were ordinary office workers, and Liu ng was in high school at the ti.
These were the tenant's information.
It also recorded so matters outside of the tenants.
Back then, this area was inspected by the construction engineering quality supervision departnt.
Deed unqualified, it was to be forcibly demolished, and the Bloodstained Apartnt was among the unqualified, but the old landlord and the tenants used so ans to muddle through.
Later, in June, a virus outbreak occurred in the city, only transmittable through blood, with a mortality rate of 20% among the infected.
"This should be the virus ntioned in Xia Xinlu's diary." Qin Nuo murmured, continuing to read.
Later, there was a self-narration by the old landlord.
"By accident, we discovered two tenants in the apartnt also infected with this virus, exhibiting identical symptoms."
"I sealed off the entire apartnt, intending to hand over the infected to the authorities, but the other tenants stopped , leading to a heated argunt. Soone proposed a bold idea, a terrifying idea..."
"For various reasons, I was persuaded to let them proceed..."
"But later, we found that the girl was missing, and everyone searched every corner of the apartnt until we heard a dull thud from outside the building..."
Qin Nuo took a deep breath and turned to the last page.
There was no more self-narration from the old landlord.
Instead, there were the nas of the infected.
Seeing the nas, Qin Nuo held his breath.
