At this moment, grandma, who was wearing a respirator, seemed to wake up.
The uncle immediately walked up, leaned down, and whispered: "Mom, what do you want to say when you wake up?"
Grandma seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't hear clearly.
Although grandma was rescued, she was still very weak and no one knew when she would pass away. My uncle immediately squatted down and wanted to listen carefully to grandma's voice.
From Dong Xie's position, he couldn't hear clearly what his grandmother was saying. It took a long time for his uncle to straighten up, look at Dong Xie's other older uncle, and said, "Mom, she is still mentioning Ayan's name.
"
Ayan is Dong Xie's mother. Dong Xie couldn't help but feel sad when he thought about his grandmother still missing her long-dead mother when she was dying.
"But, Mom also said something strange. I wonder if I heard it wrong... She seemed to say... turtle"
Dong Xie was stunned, and Monk Zhang Er was confused for a moment.
What does turtle mean?
At this time, grandma continued to fall into a deep sleep.
Dong Xie thought about it and really didn't understand what the relationship between mother and turtle was.
At noon, Dong Xie felt hungry, and his cousin also came. His uncle asked his cousin Yu Li to take him to lunch first, and they planned to eat later.
My cousin is a bank employee, so it’s not easy to ask for leave. She has always envied her cousin who can do full-time freelance work at home by writing, and can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. Along the way, she also asked about Dong Xie’s recent book creation from time to time.
How's it going?
Dong Xie smiled bitterly. He had stopped updating for two weeks. He was not short of money now, so he would send out a eunuch statement in a few days.
At this time, he opened WeChat and saw A Ning's message, as well as countless residents in the apartment's WeChat group who asked to add him as friends. Countless people wanted to ask him about the specific details of the Scarlet Letter mission.
"Cousin, do you believe that evil spirits exist in this world?"
"Believe it!"
The cousin's answer was beyond Dong Xie's expectation. He thought she would definitely answer that he didn't believe it. But the cousin said: "Now is the era of Internet information explosion, many things are not absolute. I have been checking the information recently.
Well, why don’t I recommend a few articles in this area to you?”
"Well... no need..."
"Ah Xie."
"Um"
"Do you really plan to spend your whole life with your unrelated sister?"
Dong Xie was stunned for a moment and quickly asked: "How did you know..."
"There is no airtight wall. I just think, are you really prepared to spend your whole life with Ah Ning like this? Do you really think this secret can last forever..."
"A Ning is my sister. This..."
"Ah Xie, cousin, I am also in love. We usually only see each other once or twice a year, but I have observed the way you look at Ah Ning. That is not the way a brother looks at his sister."
Dong Xie was speechless for a moment.
"I..." He then shook his head, "Sister, don't tell A Ning. Don't say anything to her. I don't want... to let our lives change."
Maybe they will die soon.
Well, Dong Xie doesn't want to change anything.
…
Time passed very quickly. In the following days, the apartment began a meeting to study the scarlet word.
"What"
Dong Xie looked at Qin Ziyuan in front of him in surprise: "That's what happened."
Qin Ziyuan replied: "You have so much money, don't you know how to use it? I paid someone to contact the landlord's son and gave him a large sum of money. Then he told the truth."
"Say...what did he say?"
"Someone did die on the fourth floor in the past. It's just that he concealed the matter. The person who died was an old man whose wife had died a long time ago. When he died, it happened to be in the early morning of December 1, 2009, in the study room of his home
Inside, he accidentally knocked down a bookshelf and was killed. But because he lived alone and it was winter, the body decomposed slowly. It wasn’t until the stench spread outside that everyone called the police. The old man’s son didn’t care about him at all.
, so I bought a cat for the old man. That year happened to be the h1n1 bird flu pandemic. Before the old man died, someone saw him coughing badly, so later someone spread rumors and said that he died of avian flu. Therefore, the fourth floor was
blockade."
Only then did Dong Xie realize the stench in the study and the cracks in the bookshelf...
Recalling the loud noise from the 4th floor that he heard on the 5th floor, he suddenly realized that this was the loud noise made by the falling bookshelf 10 years ago. The horror novels he wrote often had this routine, and many years passed after a person died.
Make the same sound on the same day of death!
"The tragedy of empty nesters." Mo Yuan lamented this: "Is that why old people turn into evil spirits?"
Dong Xie was still puzzled: "But I still can't explain the fact that the evil spirit's hand suddenly retracted at that time. It's so unreasonable!"
"Maybe you triggered a second way of life." Mo Yuan said: "There was a person named Bian Xingchen in the previous blood-lettered records. He was just lucky and accidentally triggered a way of life. You should be in a similar situation.
.”
"Maybe it's because Zhao Long just died at that time." Dong Ning said from the side: "Maybe the evil spirit opened the door just to scare us."
"No, it won't be," Mo Yuan shook his head: "At that time, the evil spirit took two hours to kill people...it doesn't feel like it was because of Zhao Long's death."
For a while, the meeting started to have a heated discussion on this issue. Of course, with so many residents, it was impossible for everyone to come. Each floor selected a few representatives to come, record the content of the meeting, and go back to convey the meeting minutes of each floor. Someone used a laptop specifically
Record the meeting, then print it out and distribute it to each floor. These records will also be left to new residents in the future, improving their survival rate.
Dong Xie can feel that he is now called a "dark horse" or even a "koi" by many people. More and more people come to get close to him, add people on WeChat, and invite people to dinner. After all, not every blood letter is the same as this time.
Cut off contact, many people hope to have someone to guide them when carrying out the instructions written in blood.
Later in the meeting, they began to discuss the new Scarlet Mission that Mo Yuan and others were about to carry out.
"This mission requires the protection of several specific individuals."
Mo Yuan himself has recorded the Scarlet Letter mission and made a ppt, and then turned off the lights and played the ppt indoors. Especially for the four people designated for protection, currently only their faces are known, and even their names are unknown.
Dong Xie quickly asked: "As for...the protective mission, if four people die, will the mission fail and the shadow curse be activated?"
Mo Yuan analyzed: "The literal meaning of the mission in blood is to protect those four people from falling into hell. From this perspective, it should be correct."
at this time……
In the ward where Grandma Dong Xie is.
Uncle Dong Xie, who was spending the night with her, heard her mother start talking again.
"mom"
Then, he continued to hear his mother say: "Ayan...Ayan...gui...gui..."
"Why is it a turtle again?"
The suspicious uncle didn't notice at all that the turtle sounded for the third time, not the first!
