Zhu Yuyan subconsciously drank another glass of water.
Although after entering a place like the apartment, she would not be surprised by the bizarre things, but looking at Xia Li in front of her, she still had no sense of reality.
No matter how you look at it, Xia Li is a real person. However, he is actually a fictional character in the comics?
"I'm not a monster." Xia Li also saw the uneasiness and panic in Zhu Yuyan's eyes, and said: "I have had an examination in the hospital. My body structure is no different from that of a normal person. I am no different from all the people on earth."
It’s the same as living things, it’s all carbon-based life, not a paper person.”
"Then...is there anything..." Zhu Yuyan thought about the film and television dramas she had watched with similar themes, and said, "For example, the body occasionally becomes transparent, or the body changes from a three-dimensional to a two-dimensional cartoon image?"
"Never." Then Xia Li emphasized one more thing: "I hope you keep this secret from other residents, especially Dong Xie. Maybe one day they will know, but I don't want everyone to have to scrutinize monsters.
look at me."
"I understand...then, have you ever gone to see Qiao Chuyi?"
When Zhu Yuyan first met Xia Li, she heard about his experience and thought that his purpose of actively entering the apartment was to escape from the island, and to find out the identity of the murderer of their family. The murderer of the Red Wedding
His identity has not been revealed since the comics were serialized. So, if we find Qiao Chuyi, we can know the truth.
"About this matter..." Xia Li's eyes became confused at this time: "I had the same idea as you at the beginning. However, the actual situation is very different from my imagination."
"Your real wish...isn't it to find out the real murderer? It's some kind of purpose that requires supernatural power to achieve?"
At this moment, Zhu Yuyan suddenly thought of something.
"With the funds that residents can mobilize, it shouldn't be difficult to meet Qiao Chuyi, right? I heard that the second season of the animation is preparing funds. If you invest, it shouldn't be difficult to meet Qiao Chuyi, right?"
"I've already seen her."
Xia Li's answer shocked Zhu Yuyan.
"I had met Qiao Chuyi long before Dong Xie and I met for the first time."
"That……"
"This was a very scary experience." When Xia Li said this, he raised his eyelashes and pushed up his glasses. "After that experience, I would not take off my glasses even when I sleep. Because
I don’t want to open my eyes and not know what’s going on when I’m in danger.”
Hearing this sentence, Zhu Yuyan immediately thought of Dong Xie and Xia Li's review of the "Blood Letter" discussion at the Scarlet Letter discussion after Dong Xie and Xia Li returned from the isolated island. Zhu Yuyan clearly remembered that Dong Xie once mentioned that at that time Xia Li
Li was once questioned because she wore glasses.
"You told Dong Xie that you wore glasses while sleeping because..."
"I lied to him. After all, the real reason is too incredible. Anyway, after that experience, I never dared to go directly to Qiao Chuyi again."
Qiao Chuyi is the author of "Kingdom of Evil", which is now the number one Chinese comic IP. However, no information about her can be found on any social network platform. We only know that she is a woman and nothing else is known about her.
"Then... why don't you tell me?"
"It's best for you not to know." Xia Li replied: "Let's first consider how to successfully complete this blood letter."
"Well, then, okay then."
Xia Li didn't say anything, which made Zhu Yuyan even more frightened.
What happened between Xia Li and Qiao Chuyi? What made him so vigilant all the time?
But there is no doubt that that experience was the most important reason why Xia Li chose to become an apartment resident. Xia Li knew very well that the apartment's wish could not involve the supernatural level, so when he entered the apartment, would he have "shelter from the wind"
"Head" factor?
While he was still thinking, Xia Li began to express his views on the Scarlet Letter mission: "The residents who are performing the Scarlet Letter mission this time are currently discussing the idea of making some agreements in advance, and then they can carry out the Scarlet Letter mission.
Find out evil spirits. For example, make an appointment not to love anyone, or agree on how to create a circle of good friends."
"Well, indeed. If everyone posts like that, it doesn't count as revealing their identity...right?"
"Do you think it would be that easy to find the evil spirit?"
"I...I also think it might not be that easy."
"If it is really so easy to end this bloody incident, then it would be the best." Xia Li looked at Qingtian Park outside the restaurant window and said, "What do you think is the biggest problem with posting to Moments once an hour?"
"It should be to... let the evil spirits confirm our position? But there are actually many solutions. Just take pictures of the ground, or take pictures of the sky..."
"flash."
Hearing these three words, Zhu Yuyan quickly asked: "You mean, evil spirits use flashlights to come to us? No, the park is so big?"
"But even so, residents will still be scared when shooting with flash, right? The darker the place, the more so. With this kind of mentality, they are likely to look for indoor places like toilets to come.
Filming. So is it possible that the evil spirit is waiting inside?"
"Is this your inference?"
"One of the possibilities."
"Why don't you explain it to the other residents?"
"I don't have that obligation. My goal is to complete the Scarlet Letter. If I unconditionally explain to them various ways to get through the Scarlet Letter, they will completely rely on him. If they form this habit, they will not be able to think independently, and they will not be able to think independently in the future.
I can’t survive many times with blood letters. Moreover, if I can’t think of a way to survive with blood letters, they will resent and blame me. This is how medical troubles come about. The more skilled doctors are, the less likely they are to cure me.
The more disease I have, the more I will be blamed and angered by the patient. I am telling you because you know my true identity."
"I see……"
Zhu Yuyan couldn't deny that what Xia Li said made sense.
"If residents want to survive in the long term, they must learn to think for themselves. I have seen too many... people who blame all their misfortunes on others."
It is rare for such words to come out of Xia Li's mouth. But Zhu Yuyan, who has read the comics, knows exactly what he has experienced.
"Other than that, is there anything else you should pay attention to when posting on Moments?"
"When taking a panorama, try to squat down so as not to expose your height. And, the most important point..."
"Huh?" Zhu Yuyan's heart immediately reached her throat.
"Don't be smart and shoot the sky. The position of the moon and stars may reveal the direction. Also be careful not to take photos close to reflective objects, otherwise your identity may be exposed. Even if it is unintentionally exposed, there is no guarantee
There will be no shadow curse."
Zhu Yuyan did not expect that there would be so many ways to take photos and post them on WeChat Moments.
"The crux of the problem is...how to check whether the other party is an evil spirit through WeChat, right?"
This is very similar to Xia Li's experience of being killed by a werewolf on an isolated island.
"However," Zhu Yuyan thought for a while and said, "If the evil spirit keeps killing people, then as the number of people chatting in the WeChat group decreases, we can judge..."
"I'm afraid this may not be possible."
"Ah? Why?"
"I said it's important to think independently. Go back and think about the reasons."
When Zhu Yuyan heard these words, she felt a little uneasy for a moment.
"Then, determine the identity of the evil spirit..."
"This requires considering the information not given in the scarlet instructions and making assumptions. The scarlet instructions only mention that evil spirits cannot teleport, clone themselves, and sense the location of residents. No other information is known. Is the evil spirit disguised?
Ability? Can it be invisible? Does it need to use a mobile phone to send WeChat messages, or can it simply send WeChat messages with thoughts?"
"Indeed, there are many possibilities."
"Another point is... the words in blood prohibit residents from meeting each other out of subjective intention. So, what if we accidentally meet in the park?"
"If so, that's right! For example, at this time, try WeChat voice dialing. If at this time..."
"But you will all mute the sound, right? If you had discussed it in advance and canceled the mute at this time, it would have exposed your identity in disguise."
"That……"
"Think about how you can take advantage of this situation. If I teach you at this time, it will be like revealing your identity in disguise."
Zhu Yuyan admired Xia Li even more in her heart.
This man... what kind of experiences did he carry during the blank period of the comics?
