Zhu Yuyan held her mobile phone with a sad look on her face.
Her parents in her hometown in the countryside had almost severed ties with her because she was arrested and imprisoned.
However, since she entered the apartment and no longer had to worry about money, she sent some money to her family and lied about having a new job. Originally, what she was most worried about was that her parents misunderstood that she was engaged in illegal work.
, but what she didn’t expect was that her parents quickly added her WeChat account and asked her to send more money.
"Yu Yan," this was the voice message she had clicked on WeChat from her mother countless times: "In the past few years since you were imprisoned, your brother has been criticized behind his back a lot in the village. This time he
We are finally getting married, but the other party said that the gift of 500,000 yuan must not be less. If you can send more money back, then we won't care about your previous affairs..."
My father’s voice on WeChat was even more unkind: “During the holidays these past few years, when the neighbor’s children come back, even the worst off, they are better than you. This time they gave me half a million as a gift, a dime.
No amount of money is needed. Just tell me, how much can you give me?"
However, Zhu Yuyan did feel extremely guilty because of what she had done.
Now, she has no way to defend what she did back then.
The owner of the bar told her that as long as she could catch Kaizi outside and bring him to spend a lot of money on drinks, she could give her enough commission. At that time, she was living a life of renting a semi-basement house.
I could make more money, but my mind was blinded by greed and I did wrong things.
At that time, she never dreamed that she could earn so much money so easily. In her hometown in the countryside, such a thing was really unimaginable.
After she was released from prison, almost all her past interpersonal relationships were ruined. Not to mention her parents, her sisters who used to work together also avoided her. What was even more tragic was that she actually came to such an apartment.
Just as she was thinking over and over about what kind of words she should use to reply to her parents, she didn't know when the new scarlet instructions would be issued.
Half a day later, Zhu Yuyan threw the phone aside and rested her head on the pillow.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of something and picked up her phone again.
At this time, there was basically no one talking in the WeChat group.
Although we all live in the same apartment, as modern people who are highly dependent on mobile phones, we are still more accustomed to communicating through WeChat, which is a communication method that is deeply rooted in our bones.
Then, she checked her circle of friends and saw that a resident had posted a news feed about the epidemic.
"A variant of the virus has been discovered in the UK. This will be an extremely dark Christmas."
Many residents posted comments below: "Fortunately, the domestic epidemic has subsided, otherwise, it would be inconvenient to go anywhere to carry out the blood letter."
"However, be sure to avoid being told that you are going abroad. Otherwise, if you come back and be quarantined for 14 days, you will not be able to return to the apartment in time."
"Why do I feel that if the apartment issued a bloody instruction to go to London now, it would be more terrifying than the evil spirit."
Zhu Yuyan leaned her head back slightly, feeling increasingly tired inside.
Since people in the apartment knew about her criminal record, almost no one would associate with her.
Moreover, she vaguely knew that many residents would block her if they posted on WeChat Moments.
She herself could have completely concealed the matter, but she felt that only by revealing it could she reflect her determination to abandon evil and do good, and change her mind. That's why she told her mother Ziyi when she saw her.
.
At that time, her mother Ziyi once warned her to completely hide the matter from other residents. The apartment was not an employer. If she didn't tell anyone, no one would know about it. She should never test people's hearts. At that time, she did not listen to her mother.
As expected from Zi Yi's words, everyone in the apartment looked at her with more or less guarded eyes. As a result, Xia Li was the only one who had no obvious discrimination against her. And this was why she decided to embrace her regardless of the matter.
An important reason for tightening Xia Li's thighs.
For some unknown reason, Mu Ziyi was very kind to her. Maybe it was her frank confession that gave her a certain favorable impression, so Mu Ziyi told her the hidden rules of how residents with the same number of blood letters could form a team.
It happened that Zhu Yuyan and Xia Li entered the apartment almost one after the other, so they could form a team. The residents who formed a team could always perform the same bloody tasks.
Xia Li didn't care about this, so the team formation was done without much resistance. However, on the contrary, he proposed that Zhu Yuyan should hide this rule and not inform other residents, otherwise there would definitely be a lot of residents
They would all come to form a team with Xia Li. For Xia Li, he didn't want so many people to perform the blood letter with him. This would increase many variables.
But even so, can this keep her alive?
She held her cell phone and wondered whether she should send money to her family. But to be honest, she felt that if this continued, would she only have the value of a cash machine to her parents?
Her hand had already clicked on the transfer function of WeChat, but when entering the amount column, her fingers were trembling several times and she could not press it.
Just when she was thinking about these things, she suddenly felt the familiar burning sensation in her chest coming again!
"New mission in blood!"
New blood characters are coming!
She no longer thought about it and rushed out immediately.
In every room, there must be a white wall without furniture, showing blood letters.
"The word in blood this time is..."
Zhu Yuyan's heart was beating wildly at this time, and she prayed that the word "blood" must be simpler and not too difficult.
"Please... it must be simple, simple..."
"Don't...don't really want to go abroad to execute the blood letter...Epidemics are spreading all over the world now..."
However, the words formed by the blood were extremely slow, and the words were surprisingly long, which made her heart jump to her throat...
“Before the park closed at 18:00 on December 31, 2020, I took my mobile phone to Qingtian Park in Baiyan District, K City, and entered the park through Gate 3. I could not leave until 5 am the next day.
After the Scarlet Word begins, the resident's WeChat account will automatically switch to a new WeChat account and automatically join a WeChat group. There are seven members in the group. Six of the members are residents who are performing this Scarlet Word mission. One of them is
Evil spirits. Residents cannot inform anyone of their new WeChat ID information by any means.
During the Scarlet Letter mission, residents must not meet each other out of their own will and can only communicate through WeChat. From the beginning to the end of the Scarlet Letter mission, residents must always speak in the WeChat group, and the longest interval between two speeches cannot exceed seven minutes.
Once a resident chats privately or @ directly, they must reply within five minutes. Every hour, you must send a message to Moments with at least one photo. Moments cannot block any group members, and the photo must be taken inside the park.
, the interval between shooting and posting to Moments cannot exceed two minutes. The flash must be turned on when shooting, the mobile phone camera cannot be blocked, and the picture must be clearly visible.
During the execution of the scarlet letter, it is prohibited to use any means to disclose content that will reveal one's identity information to anyone. The evil spirit will search for the residents in the park. It has no clones, the ability to teleport, and cannot sense the location of the residents. Once the residents are
If the evil spirit finds it, it will be chased by it.
Once it reaches 5 a.m., the evil spirit will have the ability to sense the resident's location. Before that, if the resident discovers the identity of the evil spirit and deletes the evil spirit's WeChat account from the friend list, the evil spirit will no longer be able to harm the resident. But if
If the WeChat messages of other residents are deleted, the shadow curse will be triggered.
During the execution period, it is prohibited to charge mobile phones in any way. You can only bring one mobile phone, and it is prohibited to bring laptops, tablets and other electronic devices into the park."
"WeChat?"
At the same time, Xia Li naturally saw the bloody content.
It just so happened that Dong Xie was also at his home at this time.
"WeChat...this bloody word?" Dong Xie read the bloody content and suddenly said: "Does the apartment have any obsession with choosing one of the seven?"
Xia Li pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Strictly speaking, it's one of six choices, unless the resident himself may also be an evil spirit."
"I remember that there was a similar record with blood characters in the past." Dong Xie took out his mobile phone and clicked on the record file with blood characters stored in it: "By the way, this is it! There was a record with blood characters in Li Yin's period that asked the residents to record it.
Make up yourself to look like an evil spirit, and then attend a masquerade party together..."
"The evil spirit cannot sense the location of the residents, and it is still in Qingtian Park. There are still many advantages for the residents." Xia Li's expression was very calm: "But the key is whether it can be completed before the end of the mission in Scarlet.
Find the evil spirit and delete its WeChat account."
"This is really troublesome..."
"Qingtian Park has a total area of 300,000 square meters. Originally, it was not difficult to hide people in this area. But after it closed, there was no one inside, and every living person became extremely conspicuous. Moreover, although there were trees in it, the overall
They are relatively sparse. For the evil spirit, it has enough time to search for residents inside the park."
"Even if the mobile phone's positioning is turned off, the evil spirit may still try to find the resident through WeChat." Xia Li continued to analyze: "Unlike our werewolf murder, this is an exemption type of survival, and
It’s not a complete kill type of survival.”
"And, the most important thing is that you should keep chatting with other people during this period. If someone sends a message, you must not read it without replying. The most important thing is to keep sending it to Moments..."
Dong Xie looked at Xia Li and said, "There is less than a week left before this word of blood comes."
"Yeah." Xia Li nodded and said, "The friend circle is the most troublesome problem. We can't block it from anyone yet."
