When the Blood-Eyed Ghost saw the pair of crimson eyes in the shadow, its reaction was even more intense than Qin Nuo's: "Can we turn around and run? This guy is my nightmare!"

"Stay calm." Although Qin Nuo said this, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He didn't count on the old landlord or the Blood-Eyed Ghost; he had another card up his sleeve.

However, whether he could play it depended on luck.

When the old landlord saw the shadow, he squinted his eyes, "Are you a tenant in the apartment? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The shadow's gaze then shifted to the old landlord.

The ghost aura from both sides surged violently.

Like two bulls colliding fiercely, evenly matched, the rampant ghost aura rapidly corroded the floor and walls.

"This old man doesn't look weak, but can he win?" the Blood-Eyed Ghost muttered.

"What if he can't win?" Qin Nuo asked.

"Then find a comfortable spot for it to kill you."

"......"

Qin Nuo couldn't help but retort, "Why are you such a weakling?"

"Signing a cursed contract with you, I'm increasingly feeling like I'm at a loss."

"I told you before, I'm injured and can only open two eyes. If you let me open nine eyes, I could knock it down like a dog!"

Qin Nuo rolled his eyes.

As the oppressive atmosphere reached its peak, about to erupt into a horror-level battle at any moment.

The shadow suddenly spoke, "What, old man, don't you recognize me?"

The old landlord frowned, puzzled.

The shadow raised a hand, tearing off a black, gooey mask-like thing from its face.

A terrifying face, full of sores and tumors, was exposed to the air.

The old man's pupils suddenly contracted, and a deep fear appeared on his numb face.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

It was as if some sealed memories had broken free, all resurfacing!

"You are him! No... impossible!"

The old man clutched his head, veins bulging on his forehead, his voice hoarse with pain.

The resurfaced memories seemed to split his head open!

In the end, the old landlord's body rapidly withered and shriveled, his eyes losing their shape, becoming hollow sockets.

When he fell to the ground, he turned into a dried corpse, as if all moisture had been drained.

The Blood-Eyed Ghost was dumbfounded: "Damn, without even fighting, the old man is gone?"

That face was scary, but you're a ghost too, how could you be scared to death!

The shadow looked at Qin Nuo, his tone mocking, "Is this your trump card?"

In a flash, the shadow was right in front of Qin Nuo.

A towering figure, exuding terrifying pressure.

"I'm curious to guess how many lives you have. If I kill you this time, can you still come back?"

Qin Nuo suppressed the fear in his heart and spoke calmly, "Why don't you try?"

"You don't know my name, nor do you recognize me, so no matter how many lives you have, you'll lose this game!" the shadow said sinisterly.

"Who says I don't recognize you? And who says I don't know your name?"

"Haven't we already met?" Qin Nuo smirked.

The shadow paused, then sneered, "Trying to trick me?"

Qin Nuo didn't respond, instead asking the Blood-Eyed Ghost, "Buddy, how long can you hold him off for me?"

Blood-Eyed Ghost: "Don't count on me."

"Even if I can hold him off, I can't beat this guy, the result will be the same."

"How long exactly?"

The Blood-Eyed Ghost was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know, but I'll try my best."

"Good."

Qin Nuo looked up, "Let me tell you a story."

The shadow knew Qin Nuo could still revive, so he wasn't in a hurry to strike.

"About ten years ago, a family of three moved into the apartment. The parents were low-level workers, the daughter excelled in her studies, they rarely argued, and although life wasn't wealthy, it was happy."

"But later, a viral plague broke out. The parents discovered they had contracted the virus and would surely die without treatment."

"The parents, not wanting to worry their daughter, kept it a secret and planned to go to the hospital quietly. However, a neighbor found out and told everyone in the apartment."

"In an instant, everyone in the apartment was in a panic. But what they feared more was that if the parents went to the hospital, everyone would be quarantined, and the fact that the apartment was a dangerous building would be exposed."

"Everyone living in the apartment was a migrant worker. If the apartment was gone, they would all be homeless..."

Qin Nuo's story was only halfway through.

But the ghost aura on the shadow became chaotic, and the crimson eyes exploded with terrifying killing intent.

In the next moment, he raised his head and viciously stabbed at Qin Nuo's neck.

At the same time, the Blood-Eyed Ghost also acted, using his right hand to catch the stabbing hand blade.

Simultaneously, a blood eye flipped open on the back of his hand.

Then, a second blood eye flipped open on his wrist!

In an instant, the ghost power released by the Blood-Eyed Ghost surged, intercepting all of the shadow's attacks.

And Qin Nuo continued his story.

"Then, someone thought of a way, which was to imprison the couple in their room, let them die naturally, and dump their bodies outside, creating the illusion of dying from a viral infection in the wild."

"At that time, some people opposed it, with the old landlord being the most vocal. But since he was the mastermind behind the dangerous building incident and didn't report it, he became one of the villains."

"In the end, the entire apartment, all villains, executed this plan, binding the family of three in room 402 in their room. To create a perfect illusion, they injected the father's blood into the uninfected daughter, infecting her."

"Five days later, the girl's parents died one after another. But before they died, they bit through the ropes binding their daughter, hoping she would survive."

"The freed daughter, seeing her deceased parents, didn't run away. Instead, she secretly went to the rooftop, and in a strong flame of revenge, she slit her wrists, dripping her blood into the water tank, and ended her life by jumping off the rooftop."

"The final exciting part, all the apartment residents drank the water mixed with the girl's blood. After missing the best treatment opportunity, all the villains died in the apartment..."

Qin Nuo looked up, his gaze burning as he looked at the shadow, "My story is over, was it exciting?"

Looking at the shadow again, the nightmare he least wanted to recall was fully exposed, breaking his defenses.

A terrifying roar erupted from his throat, his eyes filled with killing intent and violence, a monstrous killing aura swept out, "Die! Die! Die!!"

The Blood-Eyed Ghost couldn't hold on any longer.

The flesh on his right hand cracked at a visible speed, blood splattering.

"Damn it, are you crazy? If you're not helping, at least don't provoke it!"

The Blood-Eyed Ghost shouted.

Was this kid deliberately setting him up?

Qin Nuo ignored the Blood-Eyed Ghost's wailing, looking at the nearly deranged shadow, he said:

"By the way, let me answer the question you asked me earlier."

"Liu Quande, that's your name, and you're Liu Meng's father, and..."

Qin Nuo turned his head, looking at the second shadow that appeared out of nowhere, as if from thin air.

The shadow's eyes were also filled with overwhelming killing intent!

"Liu Meng's mother, Chu Meng."
