As soon as the pale hand grabbed him, Qin Nuo reflexively pulled out the Bone-Crushing Hammer and swung it.

The hand instantly withdrew like lightning!

It was the hand of the wife from that family of three. She looked at the wound on the back of her hand and said softly, "I mean no harm, I just wanted to ask for your help."

"Auntie, if you need something, just ask. Yanking someone through the door like that can easily cause trouble!" Qin Nuo said, thinking to himself that this family was definitely a bit off.

"I'm worried that bastard is back..."

Qin Nuo knew she was referring to her husband and asked, "What do you need?"

"Come inside, and I'll tell you."

Qin Nuo hesitated for a moment at the open door but eventually went in.

Inside the room, it wasn't as messy as last time. However, in the kitchen, a cleaver was stuck in the cutting board, surrounded by fresh blood and pieces of meat.

"Hehehe..."

The child of the family of three sat on a stool, staring at Qin Nuo with a strange laugh. That look, as if seeing something delicious, was unsettling.

"Here, have some soup."

The wife warmly brought over a bowl of soup.

Qin Nuo glanced at the soup and saw a finger with a ring still on it.

Human flesh.

The residents of the Bloodstained Apartment had a habit of going out to buy groceries in the morning, combined with the mother and child he saw on the ghost bus last time.

Qin Nuo could basically confirm that there was a market in the Horror World specifically for slaughtering and selling humans.

"Just tell me what you want," Qin Nuo said, pushing the hot soup aside.

The wife glanced at her son and said, "I want you to help me kill my husband!"

This couple wanted to kill each other every day, so Qin Nuo wasn't surprised by such an outrageous request.

"Why me? Besides, your husband is like a cockroach; I can't kill him!"

Even with a stab to the neck or being pushed off the fourth floor, he would still come back, covered in blood. His vitality was incredibly strong.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Although he thought this, Qin Nuo felt he could use the Grave Ghost Stone to crush him.

After all, he wasn't an ordinary ghost creature.

"He's indeed hard to kill, but there's one person who can kill that beast."

"Who?"

"My daughter."

Qin Nuo looked at the child on the stool with the strange laugh, somewhat astonished: "You have a daughter?"

"Yes."

The wife showed an incredibly sorrowful smile: "She was strangled to death by her own father!"

"That beast, every time he came home drunk, would pull my hair and beat me. I got used to it."

"One time, I was beaten to the brink of death. My daughter was very scared but still came out of her room to beg him to stop. Then he strangled his own daughter to death right in front of me..."

After speaking, the wife showed no expression, but her mouth curled into a smile, filled with a desolate resentment.

Qin Nuo remained silent.

He discovered that the residents of the apartment didn't know they were ghosts.

In other words, what the wife said were real events that happened to them when they were alive.

A real tragedy!

Despite feeling a bit oppressed inside, Qin Nuo still asked, "Where is your daughter now?"

"Room 301, that's the room we used to live in. She's trapped there and can't go anywhere."

"I can feel it; my daughter is in great pain. Her only hope is to drag that beast down with her," the wife said.

"Ding, host triggers a passive task, a request for help from the resident of Room 403: lure the husband to Room 301 to complete the task."

"Task Level: D."

"Can be refused, cannot be changed once confirmed."

Qin Nuo thought for a moment and confirmed the task.

Not just to gain favorability with the residents, but dealing with such scum who hadn't yet turned to dust was something Qin Nuo was very willing to do.

He initially thought the family of three were all weirdos.

Now he realized that the wife and son became so neurotic probably because of that scum of a father!

"You can't lure him to Room 301?" Qin Nuo asked.

"He knows his daughter is in that room and doesn't even dare to step into the third-floor hallway," the wife said.

"But I think you can find a way. Can you help me?"

"I'll try, but I can't guarantee success."

Qin Nuo still said the same thing.

"No worries, you're a kind child," the wife smiled slightly.

"Are you sure you don't want to sit down for a meal?"

"No need, maybe next time."

Qin Nuo left Room 403.

"Buddy, a piece of Meat of Taisui, help me out?" Back in his room, Qin Nuo spoke directly.

"Just say what you want to do," the Blood-Eyed Ghost had no resistance to the Meat of Taisui.

"Let's team up to get that scum ghost into Room 301."

"Your idea is too naive," the Blood-Eyed Ghost said blandly.

"But if you want to try, go ahead."

According to the wife, the husband would be out gambling every day from noon to three, only coming back if he couldn't find a game.

Qin Nuo prepared a bit, checked the clock on the wall, and went to the third-floor hallway just before three.

There were three original residents on the third floor; the other two residents were players "Black Rose" and "Princess Yao Yao," living in Rooms 302 and 306, respectively.

Qin Nuo arrived on the third floor and happened to meet Princess Yao Yao.

She was holding a big bag of food, not staple food to fill the stomach, but snacks to pass the time.

Qin Nuo was embarrassed.

This girl, is she here to complete a dungeon task or on vacation?

Princess Yao Yao saw Qin Nuo and said with some surprise, "Oh, Phantom, you're not dead yet?"

Qin Nuo didn't mind this peculiar way of greeting and thought of the shadow that stalked the JK girl yesterday, asking, "How's your game progress?"

"Not a bit."

"The residents here are too hard to get along with. Yesterday, I took my beloved snacks to get to know the neighbor."

"But they opened the door, saw the snacks in my hand, snatched them, and slammed the door shut!"

"Ugh, that was a week's worth of snacks, and they just ignored me after taking them. It's so unfair!" Princess Yao Yao said, feeling wronged.

"So, I'm not interested in the dungeon task. I'll just stay for ten days and leave, completing the dungeon!"

Qin Nuo thought to himself, luckily she didn't open Room 301, or who knows what would have happened.

"What about you?" Princess Yao Yao tilted her head and asked.

"Not bad, completed a D-level dungeon task, now working on the second one," Qin Nuo said.

"Impressive, doing so well on your first playthrough!"

Saying this, Princess Yao Yao picked up a bag of chips, hesitated, then switched to a lollipop and handed it to Qin Nuo: "Here, good luck!"

"You eat it," Qin Nuo declined, knowing how much she cherished her snacks.

Then, he asked, "Have you noticed any strange residents on the third floor?"

"What do you mean by strange?"

"Peeping, sneaky behavior."

Princess Yao Yao pouted and thought, "I don't think so."

Qin Nuo nodded, not asking further. This Princess Yao Yao seemed a bit simple-minded, probably didn't even notice if she was being watched, so he couldn't get anything useful from her.

Just then, a sound came from the hallway.

Qin Nuo tensed up, thinking the scum ghost had returned.

He turned to look and saw a graceful figure—it was the player Black Rose.

She saw Qin Nuo and Princess Yao Yao, her frosty face unchanged, and turned to leave.

In her hand, she carried a basket of blood-stained toy parts...
