Apartment From Hell

Chapter 25 "Ghosts" and Hiders ([-])
Yang Lin was sitting on a raised rock at the moment, and he sprinkled a pool of mineral water on the ground in front of him, so that the scene behind him could be reflected from the mineral water at any time, without turning back all the time Look.

Fortunately, the summer has passed and the weather is no longer so hot, otherwise this pool of water will dry up soon.Although there is no wet place and no trees on this mountain, the temperature of the ground is gradually dropping as time goes by.

When Li Yin made that phone call, Yang Lin was shocked at first, but then he calmed down instead.In fact, the situation has not changed. Anyway, at the beginning, I knew that this mountain would not allow them to spend twelve hours safely.However, since the "ghost" is looking for them, it can be seen that this "ghost" does not have the ability to sense their location, otherwise, it can appear in front of them anytime, anywhere.After all, all the "ghosts" seen by the bloody instructions in the past have the ability to move anywhere at will.

And this restriction should be the only way out for them in the apartment.And making the most of this is what you have to do.Wandering around in the mountains like a headless chicken, he thinks it is a relatively unwise move.The mountain is already very big. If the "ghosts" cannot know where they are, then hiding in a specific place will not be easy to find, and wandering around will increase the possibility of being found.

"I'm not the kind of person who is frightened by the apartment." Yang Lin took another sip of mineral water, wiped his mouth, and said to himself: "When Xia Yuan was still alive, I didn't know him. How many times have you exchanged escape methods until late at night, and have made many guesses based on the residents' escape experience. Xia Yuan is really a genius...it's a pity that he died so early."

"Of course, it's not the best way to hide in one place all the time. It's better to stay in another place every half an hour. The terrain of this mountain is very winding from bottom to top. And the closer At the top of the mountain, there are more forks. What's more, the "ghost" will probably look for it along a place far away from the top of the mountain, but I am not too far away from the top of the mountain. Therefore, if you are too close to the bottom of the mountain, there will be no escape route. In places with many forks, Staying in various places without rules, so that it is not easy to be found. And changing hiding places every half an hour... I don't believe that 'ghost' can find me!"

Sprinkling water on the ground to act as a mirror is also a clever trick.Although Yang Lin also brought a mirror, the scope of the mirror formed by the water was larger.However, water is limited. Although Yang Lin has twelve bottles of mineral water in his backpack, he still needs to drink water to replenish his strength.

Half an hour was almost up, Yang Lin looked at his watch, stood up again, and continued to walk irregularly along the various forked roads.

Of course, he certainly wasn't completely unafraid.In fact, he was also trying to suppress the fear that kept seeping out of his heart.But Yang Lin, from the experience of many past residents, the more fearful the easier it is to panic. Only by keeping calm like Xia Yuan and not chaotic in the face of danger, can he find out the hidden way out of the apartment.

"It won't be so easy to come across... That 'ghost' must be looking for Zhang Lingfeng and the others under the mountain..."

At present, Yang Lin is always moving forward at a normal pace. He knows that running continuously will only consume a lot of physical strength, and if he goes to the back, if the physical strength is exhausted, he will not be able to escape.

Anyway, Yang Lin has always been a good track and field player, and he is very confident in his running speed.Now, save energy first.

Of course... it is possible to encounter that "ghost" by chance.If it does, it's all over.However, Yang Lin is also very clear that when carrying out instructions in blood, he often faces a situation similar to Russian roulette, where life and death are determined purely by luck.It cannot be denied that luck is often a key factor in escape.

And Xia Yuan was able to survive five blood-letter instructions... It was also because of his very good luck!When Xia Yuan passed the fifth instruction in blood, Xia Yuan was almost facing a dead end.The instructions in blood stipulated that on a certain night, go to an intersection at midnight on a certain day, and then stay there for 10 minutes before returning to the apartment.At that time, Xia Yuan and another old resident had to carry out the instruction.

And the old resident died on the first day!At the intersection at midnight, there was no one there, except for a few cars passing by occasionally.After arriving at the crossroads, Xia Yuan and the old resident were both wary of passing vehicles or pedestrians.At midnight, Xia Yuan and the old resident were originally standing on the street, but they suddenly appeared in the middle of the intersection!Then, a big truck came from all sides of that intersection!And the drivers who drive are all identical skeletons!

At the same time, four trucks were coming at a very fast speed, almost unavoidable!It was a dead end!

"That kid Xia Yuan was really lucky. He was hit by four big trucks at the same time, and at the same time he was hit by one of them, he flew up and hit the balcony of a tall building next to him! Although he was not injured, Light, but unexpectedly escaped death! The other resident died so badly that there was not even a bone left... so lucky that he was killed by a ghost before the official start of the sixth instruction in blood. Then switch packages..."

Things are unpredictable.

At this moment, Tang Lanxuan was far less calm than Yang Linlai.Now he is running around completely without discipline, and his physical strength will soon be exhausted.And kept looking at the watch, two hours had passed.Now, there are still ten hours left!
Although this mountain is huge, it takes ten hours...if you accidentally bump into it...

Tang Lanxuan didn't dare to think about it anymore.Li Yin promised that he would continue to analyze the way of life indicated by the blood letters, and would immediately notify himself if he had any thoughts, but Li Yin is not omnipotent after all.

Is there a way out that can escape the search of the "ghost"?Hide it somehow?How to hide?
This mountain has no place to hide!Not even a cave, not a single tree!And the apartment also stipulates that they are not allowed to leave Huayan Mountain!
When he was flustered, he suddenly thought, how about joining Yang Lin and the others?When everyone gathers together, they can not only strengthen their courage, but also think about further strategies, so three cobblers are worthy of Zhuge Liang!
However, he still decided to ask Li Yin's opinion first, so he took out his mobile phone and called Li Yin.

"Hello, Li Yin?" Tang Lanxuan immediately said after answering the phone, "That's right, I was thinking, how about meeting Yang Lin and I? If four of us are together..."

"Absolutely don't do that!" At this time, Li Yin was on his way to the hospital, and he warned Tang Lanxuan: "If you gather together, the goal is too big, and if that 'ghost' follows someone, you can Find all four of you! Besides, if you do this, you may violate the rules of hide-and-seek."

"But... alone, I'm too scared..."

"I understand." Li Yin sighed, and said, "But we can't rendezvous. The most important reason is... that 'ghost' can become Si Chen, so it can also become Yang Lin and the others! In case the 'ghost' finds One of them, kill them and take the phone, and if you call..."

Hearing this, Tang Lanxuan's heart skipped a beat.Indeed...if that was the case, wouldn't it be suicide!Didn't Ying Ziye meet a ghost pretending to be Xia Yuan last time?
"Then... Li Yin, have you figured out the way out of the scarlet letter?" Tang Lanxuan asked anxiously, "If you are really found..."

"It's not that easy to find. Lan Xuan, listen well, if that 'ghost' could find you easily, you wouldn't be able to call me now. The apartment should have restricted the 'ghost''s movements at this point, so that It can't sense your location. In other words... as long as it doesn't meet you, that 'ghost' will not be much different from ordinary humans in the process of searching."

"This...is it really like this?"

"It's been two hours. If we could find you easily, all of you would have gone to meet Hades. Also, save your energy as much as possible, don't keep running. If you really encounter a 'ghost', run as fast as you can." It's useless. Try not to go close to the place below the mountain wall, otherwise it will be easy to be seen."

"Okay, okay..."

"As for the way of life you mentioned..." After contemplating for a while, Li Yin said, "I haven't thought of it yet. It's also possible that the only way out is that the 'ghost' can't sense your location. So, it is possible that the 'ghost' ' and somehow lure you out."

"Temptation? How?"

"I also just heard you say that we will meet. If you receive a call, it is Yang Lin and the others who call, asking you to go to a certain place on the mountain to meet them... You must not go! Of course, the phone call You can lie to the other person that you're going and get as far away from that rendezvous as you can."

"You're saying...it's possible that the 'ghost' will use this method to call and lure me into appearing?"

"The possibility is very high. So you can use it in reverse, stay away from that meeting place, and you can buy time!"

"Okay... a good idea! Li Yin, you are a genius!"

Then, just as Li Yin was about to hang up the phone, suddenly Ying Ziye, who was rushing to the hospital with him beside him, took his mobile phone and said to Tang Lanxuan on the other end of the phone, "Doctor Tang? I'm Ying Ziye. If you want to survive , I have a better way to teach you."

"Ying...Miss Ying?"

"That's right, it's me. The solution is very simple, you... run to the top of the mountain immediately!"

Tang Lanxuan was speechless in astonishment!
"Ying...Miss Ying, you, you mean..."

"Yes, do you think that the 'ghost' might still be on the top of the mountain? The means of survival given to you by the apartment should include the condition of 'the top of the mountain'. Now that you have reached the top of the mountain, you can't go any further. Therefore, if you want to escape, you must Fleeing down the mountain. There are so many forks in the way up Mount Huayan, the 'ghost' is naturally looking down for you now. Then, you can do the opposite and run directly to the top of the mountain!"

Bold ideas!Extremely daring!

"But...but..." Tang Lanxuan's voice trembled, and he asked, "What if I meet that 'ghost' along the way..."

"No. Two hours have passed, is it possible that the 'ghost' will still appear on the fork road leading to the top of the mountain? Of course it will search for you all over the mountain. Unless the 'ghost' has been guarding the way up the mountain , not to go to you, but is this possible?"

"But...but..."

"Doctor Tang, listen carefully... you can't guarantee absolute safety in any place on that mountain! But the top of the mountain is different. Going there will break away from the 'ghost' search route! Of course, you don't need to stay Stay on the top of the mountain, and you can choose another route to go down the mountain later. After all, the "ghost" may return to the top of the mountain to search. Compared with walking aimlessly at the bottom of the mountain, think about it carefully, which It is more likely that a road will be discovered by a 'ghost'?"

Tang Lanxuan is currently engaged in a fierce psychological struggle.

This is gambling!And the bet is his own life!

Indeed, the top of the mountain is now the place where the "ghost" is in my heart, but if I think about it carefully, is it possible for the "ghost" to stay there now?There are so many fork roads up the mountain... It is indeed impossible for the "ghost" to stay on those fixed routes.Of course, there may be some encounters, but staying here may also be discovered!

"Miss Ying, I..."

"Of course, you can decide whether to adopt it or not. I just made a suggestion."

After hanging up the phone, Ying Ziye returned the phone to Li Yin who was beside him.At this time, the two also came to the door of the hospital.

"Your strategy..." After pondering for a while, Li Yin said, "It's really brilliant. However, I'm worried, if that 'ghost' has a clone..."

After all, the other party is a mysterious "ghost", so it is not surprising that there will be a clone.

"There is no need to worry about 'clones'." Ying Ziye continued: "There are four people to find, so it's better to have a few more clones to search on the mountain. But the number of clones can't be unlimited, otherwise the mountains and plains will be full of people. They are all 'ghosts', and the apartment will not be so bad. Therefore, even if there is a clone, I will find someone, and there is no reason to keep one on the mountain and wait for the rabbit."

And at the moment on Huayan Mountain, the most painful person is naturally Chen Zhenxing.

The ex-wife called again, this time she was still yelling hysterically on the other end of the phone.

"I beg you... Please..." The ex-wife was still crying: "The doctor said that the current crisis is critical, and every second is dangerous. If you don't come... Bing Yang will die! Please... ...please come here!"

Chen Zhenxing fell to his knees on the ground at this moment, tears streaming down his face like rain.

"Bing Yang... Bing Yang... you, you go to Dean Li, just... just say, I am a friend of his son Li Yin, let the dean think of a way... there must be a way..."

"What on earth are you, what is more important than your son's life! Ahhhhhh, I'm going crazy! If Bing Yang dies, I won't live anymore, I will kill you and then commit suicide! Bing Yang, Bing Yang, don't die!"

Suddenly, the ex-wife yelled on the other end of the phone: "Doctor, doctor, please save my son, please save him!"

There were many busy voices on the other end of the phone, and then the ex-wife suddenly shouted: "No! Bing Yang! Bing Yang!"

"What... what's wrong?" Chen Zhenxing felt his whole body go stiff.

"No—Bing Yang—"

died?

Son... dead?
The phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, and Chen Zhenxing collapsed to the ground.

"No...it's not true..."

The apartment ruined his marriage, ruined his life... and now, even the life of his only son...

why!Why does God torture me like this!

Chen Zhenxing, who suddenly lost his mind, raised his head and roared wildly towards the sky: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——"

He roared hysterically for a long time, his throat was hoarse, but he was still shouting crazily.He completely forgot, so that the "ghost" might hear it.

In the end, he slammed his head against the ground hard, even bleeding from his forehead, but he didn't care.

At this time, he thought that his ex-wife also needed comfort, so he picked up the phone with trembling hands, and said with tears streaming down his face, "Ah... Ayuan, Bing Yang, Bing Yang..."

"The second one, I found it."

On the other end of the phone, came the cold and emotionless voice of his ex-wife.

That voice... seems to be very close...

Chen Zhenxing looked up...

In front of him, stood a "person" wearing Si Chen's clothes, his face was paler than paper, holding a mobile phone in his right hand and putting it to his ear, looking at Chen Zhenxing in front of him, he said again: "Second ,found it."

The voice...is exactly the same as that of his ex-wife!
At the same time, Li Yinzai entered the hospital, walked quickly to the counter, and said to the nurse on duty: "Hello miss, is there a patient named Chen Bingyang in the emergency room on the fifth floor? He was sent to the hospital in a car accident. From the hospital..."

The nurse on duty immediately checked the records, then raised her head and said, "No, sir, there is no such patient, maybe you made a mistake?"

In an instant, Li Yin suddenly realized!He immediately took out his mobile phone and called Chen Zhenxing, but the voice that came was...

"Hello, the number you dialed is out of service area..."
