"I don't know who he is, and now 'that thing' appears again. What happened to the world?" I sighed to myself, then walked into the bathroom and washed away the mottled blood on my arms.
Soon, the blood on my arm was washed away by the cold water, and I could see the wound on it.
"Fortunately, Li Yingyang brought me back to reality in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Looking at the pitted wounds on my arm, I finally realized how powerful rare foreign objects can be.
It can be said that without the rare foreign object Li Yingyang, I would have been in a daze state until I finished picking out the raw meat on my arm.
"Mozheng, that is, being possessed by a demon. This word usually only appears in cultivation novels. I never thought that I would experience it myself. This state is so terrible. I have to pick out my own flesh, but there is no pain." Thinking of my own state when I was in a state of magic.
, fear takes root in my heart.
"Let's make peace with it now. Maybe I'm not qualified to know certain things now, such as him and that thing. I can't touch them too early. Once I risk prying into their secrets, I don't know how I'll die."
I frowned helplessly.
Ever since I got that book, my life has been turned upside down. I can no longer tell what is true and what is false.
After washing my arm, I sprinkled some anti-inflammatory water on the wound. After a slight numbing pain, the wound slowly began to scab.
In order to prevent the wound from tearing again, I stuck a hemostatic patch on the wound.
After taking care of the wound, I returned to the room and stood in front of Li Yingyang.
"Uncle, are you okay?" Looking at the dense hemostatic patches on his arm, Li Yingyang was a little worried.
"Uncle is fine. By the way, Xiao Yingyang, uncle has to do some errands. You go back to the code first. Don't worry, I will let you out to play when uncle is finished." I was afraid that something might change later, so it was time to go downstairs to check.
The bookstore.
"Okay, uncle, remember to let Yingyang out often. Yingyang is quite boring in the book." Li Yingyang looked reluctant, obviously very nostalgic for the wonderful world outside.
It's not surprising that Li Yingyang was reluctant, after all, she had been trapped underground for too long, and it was rare for her to come out to play.
Moreover, the modern world is so exciting, and the cone alone made Li Yingyang forget to leave.
The nature of children remains unchanged for thousands of years. Even though Li Yingyang has been around for more than a hundred years, he still has the character of a child deep down, loving to eat, play and tease people.
I put Li Yingyang back in the book and put it in my black backpack.
"Although the screen of my phone is blown up, I still need to bring a power bank, a flashlight and keys to avoid accidents." After throwing some necessities into my bag, I put on my black backpack and opened the door.
Creaking, the door opened in response.
As the door of room 504 was pushed open, a cold breath hit my face.
"It's only around six o'clock in the evening, how come it's so cold in the Snake Tower?" It's bitingly cold in the Snake Tower, and walking in it feels like you're in an old tomb deep in the mountains.
Fortunately, this is the real world. There is no smell of snake or blood in the aisles, and there are no mountains of garbage.
Taking advantage of the pale stair light, I successfully reached the stairs on the fifth floor and was about to walk downstairs.
But at this moment, I stopped and looked at other rooms on the fifth floor.
At this moment, the doors of these rooms are all closed. At first glance, the silence is a bit scary, and it is unclear whether there is anyone inside.
"I have returned to the real world for a whole day, but during this whole day, I have never heard any movement in the Snake Tower."
"It's so abnormal. There are so many tenants in the Snake House.
How can it be possible without the noise of life?”
"Usually when I walk in the corridor, I can always hear the sound of TV playing, crazy music, the cries of men and women having fun, or the sound of the toilet flushing after using it. Why is it so quiet today?"
"And it's dinner time now. At this time in the past, the Snake House was filled with the noise of woks."
The silence around me aroused some doubts in my mind.
These doubts were just a seed at first, but this seed sprouted instantly and soon grew into a big tree in my heart, spreading its branches and leaves.
Full of doubts, I returned to the corridor on the fifth floor and looked at the doors eagerly: "As long as these doors are opened, this doubt can be solved."
"I wonder if these doors are locked, huh? No locks?" I pushed open one of the doors.
As a result, this door was empty, not a single person.
I tried my best to open the other doors on the fifth floor, but there was still no one there.
"I remember that there was a woman living in 503. This woman always screamed late at night. The scream came from the heart and made people think wildly. I would be woken up by this scream every night."
"In 502 opposite, there lived a hobbling old man. I once followed him down the stairs. He walked very slowly."
"As for the tenant in Room 501, I have never seen him and I don't know who he is, but I am sure there is someone living in Room 501, because every night at ten o'clock, a man's rough voice can be heard in Room 501."
"But where have all the neighbors on the fifth floor gone?"
"By the way, I actually forgot the most important thing. As far as I know, the tenants in the Snake House, including my neighbor and the landlord Zhang Tao, are all snake people hiding in the city. All the snake tenants have died.
Of course, the world of resentful spirits will not appear in the real world."
"It seems that death in the world of resentful spirits is equal to real death and will never appear in the real world again." I have a guess that is closest to the truth.
In order to further verify my guess, I climbed directly to the ninth floor, then opened the doors on each floor, and repeatedly checked layer by layer.
When I walked out of Room 201 on the second floor, I was shocked: "It seems that my guess is correct. When you die in the world of ghosts, you will disappear in the real world."
I guessed it right, all the tenants in Snake House disappeared, and there was no one in the rental house. In other words, I was the only one in Snake House at this moment!
The Snake Tower has a total of nine floors. Except for the first floor, which has no rental rooms and only has a security room, the remaining eight floors have four rental rooms on each floor. By analogy, the Snake Tower has a total of 32 rental rooms.
These 32 rental houses are all single rooms and only allow one person to rent them. However, tenants often flout the rules and let their friends stay overnight.
As for this friend, I don’t know whether she is a fair-weather girl who gets paid to take off her skirt, or a young model who comes to provide services. After all, everyone has their own needs.
"The landlord Zhang Tao once revealed that after I rented 504, all the rental rooms in Shelou have been rented out, and there are no more vacant rooms."
"That is to say, apart from me, there are 31 tenants in the Snake House."
"And these 31 tenants are all snake people."
"In the villa hall of the Wraith World, there were originally fifteen white porcelain round bowls. Later, after I was deceived, there was an additional white porcelain round bowl with a human face soaked in it, so there were a total of sixteen white porcelain bowls in the villa hall.
Round bowls, each white porcelain round bowl contains a human organ. These human organs should be taken from sixteen snake tenants."
"Of the sixteen snake tenants, fifteen were made into human-shaped stone statues, and one was a snake.
The human tenant was the woman who was missing her right leg. She was placed in the security room by me and was not made into a human stone statue. However, she should have died later, otherwise the female patient would not have said that her oath had been fulfilled."
"Later, I met thirteen more snake tenants in the stone room. These thirteen snake tenants included the landlord Zhang Tao. Because he has his own room in the Snake Tower, he is also considered a snake tenant in the Snake Tower."
"16 plus 13, based on this inference, there are a total of 29 snake tenants trapped in the world of resentful spirits."
"Hey, why don't the number of snake people match up? Apart from me, there should be a total of 31 snake people tenants in the snake building. Why are there only 29 snake people tenants in the world of resentful spirits?"
Are there still two snake tenants who have not entered the world of resentful spirits?
"It's impossible. I've checked all the rental houses in Shelou and I didn't find those two snake tenants."
The number of snake tenants didn't match up, so I was a little confused for a moment: "Did those two snake tenants just check out?"
"No, if the two snake tenants check out, there should be two vacancies in the rental houses in the Snake House. However, these rental houses are filled with daily necessities, and there are no vacant houses."
"And more importantly, the Snake Tower is where snake people hide. Generally speaking, snake people will gather and live here. The reason why I was able to move in is probably an accident."
"The Snake House is the best place for snakes to hide. Snake tenants are flocking to it, so how can they check out? Nothing is more important than the gathering of the tribe, so it is impossible for the two snake tenants to check out."
"It is estimated that the two snake tenants also died in the world of resentful spirits, but I just didn't meet them."
After much thought, I had no choice but to chalk it all up to an accident. After all, the world of wraiths is huge. Maybe the two snake tenants were alone and died, so I didn't meet them.
"This guess is closest to the truth, but I always feel that something is wrong." I thought hard, trying to find out what was wrong: "There are 32 rental rooms in the Snake Tower, 32, 32, March 2?"
I remembered this date again. There are 32 rental houses in Snake Tower. I separated the numbers 3 and 2 and found that strange date, March 2nd.
32, I happen to be the 32nd tenant of Snake House, and the number of missing snake tenants is exactly the number 2 at the end.
There are too many coincidences, and they are no longer coincidences.
After connecting everything together, all the doubts pointed to March 2, which made me a little uneasy: "I always feel that the two snake tenants are not dead. Maybe they are spying on me somewhere."
There might be two snake tenants living outside. I became even more uneasy and called out Li Yingyang directly: "Xiao Yingyang, uncle has something to ask you."
"Uncle, what do you want to ask me?" I called her out again not long after leaving. Li Yingyang was a little confused.
"Did you really kill all the snake tenants? Is it possible that there are still snake tenants outside the snake building?" I asked straightforwardly.
"There are only 29 snake-men of this generation left. They all live in the snake building. The main body has killed all 29 snake-men tenants. It is impossible for any snake-men tenants to be left outside." Li Yingyang said seriously.
"29 snake tenants? Not 31?" I was stunned.
"There are just 29 snake tenants. Is there any problem?" Li Yingyang was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled expression on his face.
"There are 31 snake tenants in the Snake House. How could there be only 29 snake tenants?" I continued to ask in surprise.
"There are only 29 snake tenants in the Snake House from beginning to end, and there are 3 tenants who are not snake people, one of whom is an uncle." Li Yingyang made a shocking statement.
