That was extremely difficult!
But, they could only continue.
No matter how much they hated this apartment, no matter how much they wanted to get out of here, they couldn't do it.
In the past, there were some residents who tried to destroy the apartment, but they were all controlled and killed by the shadows.
The shadows had been completely controlled by the apartment, and they couldn't disobey at all.
Even in places where no shadows could be cast, they could still be manipulated.
It could be said that to survive, they had to follow the apartment's rules and live until the last blood letter instruction.
There was no other way.
"Okay, let's not talk about this…" Yuan patted his shoulder and said: "I'm just reminding you, don't slack off, you should still try to exercise as much as possible before the next blood letter instruction comes, train your reaction time and adaptability…"
In the face of ghosts, human flesh and blood are ultimately helpless.
There's simply no way…
"Forget it, I don't want to think about this." Li felt his stomach rumbling, saying: "Um… do you have anything to eat, I'm very hungry…"
"Ah, yes!" Tang immediately said: "I'll go make you something to eat, Li! Um, what do you want? Maybe something light would be better?"
"Anything. Porridge or noodles are fine…"
After surviving the fourth time, Li was truly filled with mixed emotions.
But, at least he could finally live a peaceful life for a while.
Once he endured until the sixth one, he wouldn't have to work so hard and could directly return to the apartment.
"Right, Li." Yuan mentioned: "While you were unconscious for the past two weeks… a new resident moved into Ye's room, 403."
"Huh?" Li was slightly stunned and then asked: "You… what did you say? A new resident? So soon?"
"Yeah… she entered the apartment three days after you came back. She's a female teacher, and she's already moved some luggage into the apartment. When she first entered the apartment, she was a little panicked, but after about a week, she gradually calmed down… it's not easy."
"Really?" Li was surprised that there was someone with such good quality.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
When he first entered the apartment, he had to successfully complete the first blood letter instruction before he could gradually calm down his extreme fear.
Since she was a new neighbor, he should go and say hello, they would be seeing each other all the time anyway.
"She's out now, but she should be back soon. She must have already submitted her resignation to the school where she teaches."
"I see…"
After eating something, Li finally regained his strength.
After getting out of bed, he couldn't help but think: What kind of person is this new neighbor…
He got dressed, went out of his room, and walked to the corridor outside, looking at Room 403 across the way.
Recalling the shy girl Ye from the past, she had left him forever… Li couldn't help but sigh with regret.
"You're awake? Mr. Li?"
A somewhat indifferent but very delicate voice reached his ears.
Li turned his head and saw a woman standing there.
The woman was in her twenties, with long, flowing hair and a delicate, oval face.
Her forehead was covered by long bangs, and beneath her light eyelashes were a pair of somewhat unfocused, crystal-like eyes.
Her expression was very indifferent, very casual, but her brows and eyes revealed a kind of wisdom that saw through everything.
In that instant, Li was struck by the woman in front of him, and he was momentarily stunned.
The woman walked over and said: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Ziye, I'm the new resident of Room 403. "
Li finally regained his composure and quickly stretched out his hand, saying:
"Hey, hello… I, I'm Li, the resident of Room 404… ! In this apartment, don't be too afraid, we…"
"I know." Ziye still had no expression on her face and said: "We have to try our best to survive ten blood letters, right? I, I will."
"So… like that… Ziye, what did you tell your parents about moving in here…"
"My parents are both dead. When I was very young."
"I… I'm sorry, I…"
"It's fine… it's all in the past."
Just as she was about to reach the door of Room 403, she suddenly said:
"By the way… I remember you're a web novelist?"
"Yeah…"
"What's the name of your book?"
"Bullet Flies Over", it's… a military novel set in World War II."
"Really?" She nodded, took out her key and opened the door, saying: "I'll check it out."
After the door closed, Li was still standing there in a daze.
He stared at the door, as if he wanted to see through it.
In the days that followed, Li returned to his past life of writing web novels and earning royalties.
Although it was a mundane and boring life, it was far, far happier than the month he spent in You Shui Village.
His parents occasionally called, of course.
The phone in the apartment could only make calls outside, but no calls could come in.
They still thought that Li was living the ordinary life , renting a room and wrote books, advising him to find a more stable job and live a peaceful life.
They probably wouldn't have think of the incredible experiences their son had gone through in the past year.
Ziye lived a very regular life.
She would participate in the routine discussion meetings with the other residents every day.
Although she didn't speak often, she took notes very seriously each time.
Although she was very quiet like Oda Saki, Oda Saki gave people a feeling of coldness that kept them at bay, while she gave people a feeling like a warm spring breeze, gently blowing across the earth, making them feel very comfortable.
She had a pretty good relationship with Oda Saki, who also lived on the fourth floor.
The two of them often discussed things together.
And Li would occasionally go to her and talk to her about the blood letter instructions.
Li found that her composure was almost unbelievable, he had almost never seen her show any sign of panic or unease.
Perhaps… she was suppressing her pain, not showing it to others?
When would the next blood letter instruction come?
