Dong Xie stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xia Li in front of him.
"Mr. Dong," Xia Li was not surprised that Dong Xie used a pseudonym: "Can you tell me what the word resident means? Can you tell me?"
Dong Xie thought for a moment and said, "What is the reason you want to know?"
"I said," Xia Li's eyes were extremely determined, "I have a wish that I want to realize no matter what, but that wish can only be realized through supernatural means."
Dong Xie was stunned. He thought for a moment and asked, "What wish?"
"Is it possible to resurrect the dead?"
"I'm sorry...this can't be done."
Xia Li showed an extremely disappointed expression. After a while, he replied: "So, can you find someone whose name, appearance, or even gender I don't know?"
This immediately stunned Dong Xie: "You...you..."
Why does this sound like the evil spirit with the word "blood" this time?
"Well..." Xia Li immediately added: "The reason why I want to kill that person is because that person killed all my relatives and lovers. But the police have not been able to find out his identity so far."
When Dong Xie heard "lover", he immediately thought of A Ning.
This gave him a deep empathy for Xia Li.
"Even with your intelligence... you can't find the murderer?"
"Mystery novels may have given the world an illusion," Xia Li raised his finger and pointed at his head, saying, "In fact, the difficulty of realizing a perfect crime is not as high as imagined. Those criminals in mystery novels who have obvious murder motives,
If you have to come up with complicated alibi, secret room tricks, incredible killing techniques, etc. to exclude yourself from suspicion, it will actually make you more likely to be exposed."
"Yes, my sister... she often told me this before. When she and I watched Conan together, she would always guess the real murderer before me."
"In fact, most of the murder methods in mystery novels are impossible to realize, let alone a perfect crime. However, on a remote country road, an outsider temporarily intends to steal money and life, and quickly escapes, even if he finds
Even Conan Kindaichi and Sherlock Holmes can't find out the real murderer. We have been taught since we were young that the law is open to all, but in fact, criminal cases can only be solved easily if the suspect has a clear motive for murder.
.”
When he said this, his voice darkened.
"This is the case for me. The real murderer I am looking for has not been arrested so far. That person did not leave any hair, fingerprints or anything like that. I have spent seven years and tried all means, but to no avail.
There is no way to find that person. Maybe? Only supernatural means can find him."
Dong Xie immediately explained to him: "If you have a wish that you want to realize anyway... I have to make a statement first..."
"It's dangerous, right?" Xia Li was not surprised at all by this. "The supernatural existence behind you requires you to be in constant contact with this kind of ghost, right?"
"Yes? It takes about ten times to complete such a task? To realize a wish."
"Ten times?" Xia Li nodded and said, "It's much less than I expected. The evil spirit calls you a resident? What's the reason?"
"The place we live in is an apartment..."
Dong Xie explained all the information about the Hell Apartment to Xia Li in the shortest possible words. But? About the entrance to Hell? He hasn't said anything yet.
"Ten blood missions can grant a wish. You can even make a wish to kill him directly."
"I will make that person accept legal punishment." Xia Li was very clear-headed about this: "Killing him like this will not achieve the purpose of sanctioning him at all. Letting him die instantly is equivalent to letting him die instantly.
There is no painful process. As for that apartment? The level of danger is much lower than I expected? As long as those evil spirits are completely controlled by the rules of the apartment, I have enough confidence to complete at least seven times of blood writing."
At this time, Yuan Ping hurriedly said: "Wait, me, what should I do? Can you take him back to that apartment? But I am alone on the island, if no one comes to save me..."
Before, Yuan Ping looked very optimistic when he was living on the island? It was because there were six people around him, and he felt that he could always find a way. But now... once the cans are finished? He has to be trapped all the time.
Island!
"Based on what I know about the apartment..." Dong Xie thought for a while and said, "This island should be in a very remote location. But this time the blood letter has ended? Maybe the ship will pass by here."
"But... there is no guarantee that I will arrive before I finish all the food! Me? My fishing level is also very poor... If I stay on this island alone? I will go crazy..."
"Then will you go back to the apartment with me?" Dong Xie asked: "I can return to the apartment instantly, with just one thought. You just need to hold my hand, and I can take you back. But... that means
You know exactly what you are wearing."
Yuan Ping scratched his hair, walked a few steps in place, and finally said: "Forget it, let's go back with you! If you can survive until the sixth blood letter, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"Most people won't survive a life like me." Dong Xie reminded him: "Do you think you can have this kind of luck? Being an apartment resident is a very desperate journey."
"But... I'm just going to stay on the island alone?"
"I have to go back. I will give you five minutes to think about it." Then Dong Xie looked at Xia Li again: "I will give you five minutes to think about it."
"What I decided will not change."
"You...are you willing to sacrifice your own life in order to find the murderer?"
"The happiest years of my life so far were when I was 22 years old. But after that, my life was completely destroyed."
"you……"
"I believe in logic. But in this world, the most painful thing is also logic. Because the logic of reality is the coldest and ruthless. No matter how painful the reality is, it will still follow logic and happen as usual. Literature, poetry and music
It can be produced in conjunction with human emotions, but logic cannot be learned."
Dong Xie thought of his own experience again.
When people are in extreme pain, they would rather refuse to accept reality. When people are full of hope, they are even willing to believe in illogical things. Therefore, religion and psychology were born.
"I'm willing to risk my life, and I want to find that person." Xia Li's eyes became extremely sharp for the first time, "I don't want to accept this cruel reality and spend my life like this."
"This road... is very difficult and painful. Many people try their best to escape from that hell apartment."
"The world we live in is originally a hell from which there is no escape."
Dong Xie was stunned when he heard this.
"People will have the illusion that this world is not hell but heaven only because reality operates in accordance with their interests."
This sentence made Dong Xie and Yuan Ping confused.
"However, there is no eternal happiness in this world. Only loss and giving up are the majority of life. For me, if I can't find that person, I will still live in hell whether I live in that apartment or not. Believe me
, Mr. Dong, death is not painful, sometimes living is."
…
The lobby of the apartment.
Dong Xie returned here again.
He came back with Xia Li.
In the end, Yuan Ping did not choose to come back together. He was still frightened by the description of the apartment mentioned by Dong Xie. On that island, if he relied on fishing, he could still sustain himself for a long time.
As for his fate on that isolated island, it was not something Dong Xie could control. He didn't even know where the island was, let alone how to rescue him.
Xia Li appeared in the apartment lobby, and the shadow under his feet immediately drove him to start moving on his own.
At this time, the elevator opened, and a young woman who was chewing an apple came out.
She happened to see Xia Li walking up, driven by the shadow, and was stunned.
"New...resident? Then, you and I executed the same bloody word?"
This young woman chewing an apple is none other than Zhu Yuyan, the new resident who entered the apartment when Xie Ruoni performed "Train in Blood"!
