Chapter 3: Rules of blood letter

The history of this apartment is said to be difficult to calculate. And there are quite a lot of people who have lived in this apartment. Over the past few decades, the residents have developed a tacit understanding and experience, and understand what to do and what not to do. Do what works for you and what doesn't work for you.

Therefore, whenever a new resident moves in, some old resident will go to tell him the detailed precautions. If you don't say it clearly, you may violate the taboo and die without a place to bury you.

There are two basic rules. And once you become a resident of the apartment, then these two rules must be followed no matter what.

First, and the most basic, except for the case of going out as instructed by the blood letter, it is absolutely not allowed to leave the apartment for more than forty-eight hours in a row. If you violate this rule, you will die.

Second, after becoming a resident, once the blood letters appear on the wall of the room you live in, you must absolutely abide by the instructions of the blood letters. If you violate it even slightly, you will die.

Li Yin has seen with his own eyes the residents who did not believe these two rules, ignored the instructions written in blood, and left the apartment. And those residents all died in a very strange way later.

Without exception!

Ye Kexin is a resident of Room 403, so she is Li Yin's next door neighbor. As for Luo Hengyan, the resident of Room 507, he has been living here for half a year, and he survived after carrying out the instructions in blood twice. Qin Shoutian lived in Room 507 for more than nine months, and carried out the instructions in blood three times.

The instructions in blood are usually to go to a specific place and do some specific behaviors, and during this period of time, many strange and incomparable phenomena will definitely occur.

Often, before you realize it, you are dead. Even when you die, you don't realize that you are dead.

It sounds incredible, even unimaginable, but... it is an indisputable fact.

It took Li Yin a long time to fully accept all of this. After all, everything that happened so suddenly was too unrealistic. However, at that time, he did not have the courage to leave the apartment for more than forty-eight hours. After all, that kind of behavior is tantamount to suicide.

Eventually, he borrowed some money from the other residents of the apartment, paid off the rent, and moved into the apartment.

The residents in the apartment are basically the same as him, because the shadow automatically entered the apartment and entered the process of chasing the shadow. And the person who has lived in this apartment for the longest time is the building manager, Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan is a young man who wears glasses and looks very refined and refined. And he has lived in this apartment for more than five years. He told all the residents that if they want to survive in this apartment, the only chance is to be able to escape back to the apartment in time after the specified time is over! No matter what exists at the designated location or what kind of curse it suffers, once it escapes to the apartment, it can completely escape from all dangers. You don't have to worry about getting hurt by entering the apartment and then walking out. Until... the next time the words in blood appear.

Over the past year, Li Yin has seen with his own eyes what happens to people who are chosen as residents but do not live in the apartment because they do not believe what the residents say. He once went to persuade those people to move into the apartment immediately, but they were all dismissive. As a result... for more than forty-eight hours, Li Yin saw with his own eyes that their shadows changed one by one, either forcing them to jump off a building, or committing suicide with a knife. The worst person among them was forced to run to a crossroad by the shadow He was crushed to death on the spot by a truck and turned into a mass of meat. After seeing that scene, Li Yin would feel like vomiting when he saw meat for three whole months.

The instructions in blood are generally from easy to difficult. The first time the blood word indicates, the danger is the least, and the chance of survival is quite high, but from the second time onwards, the degree of danger and weirdness will gradually increase, and then the third time... the fourth time, it is all about fighting to the death. Only by doing your best can you survive.

Blood instructions, the interval is usually in months. According to the experience of the old residents, there has never been a precedent for not issuing blood instructions in the entire apartment for more than half a year. When there is a sign of blood in the room, the heart will feel a burning sensation, so that even if you are not in the room, you will immediately realize that there is blood in your room. Once the bloody word is read and memorized, the bloody word will disappear.

Instructions in blood never indicate actions that they cannot achieve, such as asking them to go to the moon, there will be no such actions, and they are all physically achievable actions.

Finally, based on decades of experience of the old residents, a conclusion was drawn.

That is... There is only one way to leave this apartment.

That is... After completing ten bloody instructions in a row, if you are still alive, you will be free, and you will be able to move out of the apartment without worrying about dying.

Of course, the word "continuous" is superfluous at all, because the standard of completion is only to return to the apartment alive. If you die, you will naturally be unable to complete the next instruction in blood. And in this way, the room where the person lives will become an unowned room, until a new resident moves in, and a new blood instruction will be generated. So far, he has carried out the blood-letter instructions three times, and the last time he carried out the blood-letter instructions, it can almost be said that he was close to death! The content of the instruction is very simple, go to the fifth floor of an abandoned school, and wait until midnight that night to complete the instruction. At that time, there were six people including him who received the same instructions in blood. And at midnight that night, everyone spread their legs and wanted to escape from the school. However... no matter where they go, they will find it is a dead end! And then, in the process of escaping, they also found that the good companions around them suddenly turned into a bloody corpse!

In the end, Li Yin gritted his teeth, jumped from the window onto a tree, climbed down, and then sat in the car of one of his dead companions, stepped on the accelerator and fled to the apartment!

Although Li Yin had learned to drive, he didn't have a driver's license, and the car was relatively new, so he had to sweat a lot before driving back to the community where the apartment was located.

But... when he got out of the car, he felt a hand grabbing his foot!

At that time, he fell to the ground, only to see...a child in a school uniform with a pale complexion, his body stuck to the bottom of the car!

But Li Yin made a decisive decision and immediately pulled his foot out of the shoe! Then, run desperately into that alley!

In order to exercise his running speed, he goes to the gym almost every day to force himself to exercise his running speed. The other residents worked out with him, too, and by the end almost everyone was running fast enough to rival long-distance runners.

But... no matter how fast the speed was, the student-looking child behind him was still approaching him! Every time Li Yin turned around, he would see...he was approaching him! The scary thing is...he was just walking, no matter how he looked at it, it was impossible for him to catch up with his speed!

Finally, when he was only ten meters away from the apartment, he saw Xia Yuan and a group of residents waiting for him at the revolving door!

"Hurry up! Li Yin!" At that time, Xia Yuan, who always looked refined and refined, shouted desperately: "Ten meters away, you will be safe! Hurry up!"

According to what Xia Yuan said later, at that time they saw that the ghost was... less than two meters away from Li Yin!

And for the last ten meters, Li Yin rushed over with all his might, and at the same time, that ghost had already reduced the distance difference to zero, and was about to open his arms to hug Li Yin!

However, Xia Yuan and the others couldn't run out to save him! After all, leaving the apartment, there is no longer any guarantee for the safety of life!

But at the last moment, Li Yin suddenly exploded in speed again, roared, rushed towards the revolving door, and pushed in violently! And in the process, that ghost child had already touched his waist on both sides!

After Li Yin entered the apartment, that ghost had nothing to do. After standing at the door for a long time, his body turned into light smoke and slowly disappeared.

Afterwards, after Li Yin lifted off his shirt, he was horrified to find that on both sides of his waist, there were... a small black handprint left on each side! It took a long time for the handprint to disappear completely.

And two months after that incident, that is the current instruction.

For me, this is the fourth time I have executed the instructions in blood.

Absolutely... the danger has been raised to an extremely high level!

The village is much bigger than imagined.

However, as expected, there is no hotel where people can live. This is also a very natural thing.

Of course, according to the instructions in blood, one must "live" here. Leaving the range of Youshui Village is considered to be violating the instructions in blood.

The village is surrounded by mountains, and the surrounding terrain is steep. There is a very long river passing through the village, which is the best guarantee of water source. With this water source, crops can be irrigated, and people in the village can live a self-sufficient life in this mountain.

Most of the rice is grown in the fields. Even some children less than ten years old help transplant rice seedlings barefoot in the rice fields, with mud and water all over their faces.

After walking for a while, a middle-aged man finally came up and asked, "How many gentlemen... Are you from the city?"

Those children also looked at Li Yin and the others curiously. After all, it is rare to see a city person in this mountain. Many of them have never seen electric lights, televisions and the like.

But Li Yin vaguely felt that there seemed to be some hostility in the middle-aged man's tone.

"If you are reporters who want to interview that matter, leave me immediately!" The middle-aged man said this, his eyes widened: "It has been so many years, and you are still entangled and refuse to let go!"

Li Yin's heart jumped suddenly, what happened?

Could it have something to do with the blood instruction this time?

He quickly waved his hands and said: "No, sir, you misunderstood... We are just ordinary tourists who want to come and live in Guicun. Don't worry, we will pay for it."

These years, there are indeed some senior travel friends who do not follow the tour itineraries of travel agencies for self-guided tours, and enter some wild mountains and wild areas. However, this Heiwu mountain itself is not considered a tourist attraction, and generally no tourists come here.

The middle-aged man obviously didn't believe Li Yin's words.

"Nonsense! You better go away! Don't think I don't know your intentions!"

The middle-aged man became more and more agitated, but Li Yin knew very well...he absolutely must not leave this village. According to the instructions in blood, he must stay in this village for a month, otherwise...

He will die!

The instructions in blood must be obeyed absolutely, and Li Yin has already engraved on this point.

"What's so noisy?"

An old voice sounded, and then, people pushed away one after another. A gray-haired old man, supported by a young woman in her twenties, slowly walked over.

"village head……"

"Village chief, they are from the city, so they must be here for Li Bing's matter!"

"Yes! It must be so!"

The old man seemed to be in his eighties. He tremblingly walked towards Li Yin and the others, and said, "Young people... why did you come here?"

Li Yin hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said, "Hello, old village head. We just entered the mountains for fun and wanted to experience the rural atmosphere, so we wanted to live in this village. Don't worry, we won't live in vain."

"Oh? Experience the farmhouse style? It's very interesting." The old village head seemed to be thinking about something, and then said: "Well, you guys, just live in my house!"

Li Yin was taken aback, the village head... actually agreed so readily?

"Village chief, you...how can you let these people of unknown origin go to your house?" The middle-aged man said immediately: "They must be reporters!"

"It doesn't matter," the old village head said openly, "Youshui Village hasn't had any guests for a long time. It's rare for guests to come, so how can we not entertain them?"

The words of the old village chief made Li Yin suspect, could the village chief have other plans?

But, as long as you can stay here, everything else...don't worry about it.

To be honest, considering the problem of escaping when he leaves on the 7th of next month, Li Yin still has a headache. In terms of this mountain, driving is slower than walking, so we can only escape on foot. But on such a steep mountain, if they were chased... How many of the four of them could survive? Last time, among the six residents, only Li Yin survived!

Therefore, Li Yin decided to find out... what is the true face of the evil that exists in this Youshui Village, and perhaps, he can find a countermeasure!
