Global recovery: A century of being stuck in the game

Tao Yao sat at the table, on which were piled more than a dozen pieces of paper covered with words. She picked them up and looked through them one by one.

Jiang Wan took advantage of this opportunity to get close behind Tao Yao. From this position, she could stab someone to death with just a stretch of her hand!

After about ten seconds, "Huh? Are you writing with real scenes?"

Jiang Wan was stunned, somewhat confused.

"It's a gray sky today, and I finally got my wish and moved into this apartment that is rented out at a low price and provides a warm home for many people. What is life like here?"

Tao Yao whispered softly, but it immediately made Jiang Wan frightened.

She snatched the paper from Taoyao's hand, read it carefully, and looked a little dazed.

This was the beginning of the story she was going to write.

But she only flipped through the papers yesterday and found that they were all the beginnings of love stories and novels about men and women. Of course she would have been interested in them before.

But this was a haunted place where one could lose their life at any time, so she ignored the pile of papers.

I didn't expect that the seemingly useless pile of draft paper actually contains useful things.

In addition to the paragraph that Taoyao just read out, there is some more content behind it.

It is written like this:

I knew it, such a low-priced house must have something wrong.

People say that there are no ghosts in this world, but I don’t believe it at all. If there are really no ghosts in this world, how could my parents suddenly die?

And this apartment, I think it should be called the Death Apartment.

That evening, because the pens at home had run out, I planned to go to the supermarket to buy some new ballpoint pens.

It was at this time that I discovered something.

The lobby on the first floor was dark, with only a hint of moonlight pouring in, allowing people to barely see some of the scenery downstairs.

I heard the slight sound of a door opening and wondered why someone came back at this time?

I leaned toward the wall to look, and found that the moment the door was opened, there was no one in front of it.

At this moment I was both excited and scared. I suppressed my excitement and stopped to watch. However, the next second the door was closed again with a bang.

I was afraid of being discovered, so I quickly turned around and went upstairs.

I felt a bit restless all night, and then I unconsciously paid attention to the situation in that house.

Two days after this incident, I learned from the old lady next door that there was an accident on the first floor and two people died.

Those two people happened to be the family where the strange thing happened two days ago.

It’s Room 101.

…………

Another similar incident was recorded in the middle, and the ending was this sentence.

I seem to be being targeted too.

Will I die too?

Jiang Wan: "..."

After reading it, Jiang Wan was silent and speechless.

According to how the story develops, once someone is targeted, something bad will most likely happen within two days.

If she noticed something strange on the first day before she came here, now it was the second day.

She might be found dead on the street tomorrow.

No one can accept such bad news calmly.

After a while, she shook her head and patted her cheek to sober herself up: "I've finished reading the story, and I have to continue writing, so I won't accompany you anymore."

The story has to continue, otherwise she will only get worse.

Tao Yao spread her hands, stood up and left: "Goodbye."

How could Jiang Wan still have the energy to pay attention to other people? He took out a pen and continued to write the sequel.

Today is probably the last good day, as she still has to go outside to investigate later.

Tao Yao, who was leaving, walked around the entire apartment, identified the doors, and confirmed the direction with the compass in her hand. Finally, the compass needle pointed to the door of Room 301.

It is exactly the opposite of 303 where the landlord lives.

Tao Yao narrowed her eyes and was about to knock on the door when she heard a cry from downstairs: "Someone, come quickly! Someone's dead! Someone's dead!!"

The terrified sound almost spread throughout the entire apartment.

Tao Yao glanced at the door in front of her and turned away.

The other residents who were still in the apartment and had not gone to work all went downstairs as the sound fell.

This also includes the skinny landlord.

Tao Yao came down from the third floor after all. When she got downstairs, there were already three or five people gathered downstairs.

But everyone was very scared and kept a certain distance from the corpse in the middle.

It’s my roommate Luo Ru.

She is dead.

There was a bloodstain on the neck, and blood was flowing along the blood vessels onto the ground, forming a pool.

As a training teacher, it was not appropriate for her to go forward, so after hesitating for a moment, she spoke in surprise and disbelief: "Luo Ru? How could this happen?"

"Do you know her?" Someone looked over and asked, seeing her face full of panic and fear.

Tao Yao: "She...she lives with me in 201. I was not feeling well today so I took a leave and did not go to work. I didn't expect that she would..."

Having said this, she lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands.

Seeing her so weak, innocent and heartbroken, the others felt sorry for her: "Hey, don't cry. She and you are roommates, so do you know who she usually has conflicts with?"

Tao Yao lowered her eyes and shook her head regretfully: "I don't know...is her death in vain? I'm so useless that I can't even help her find the murderer..."

So I cried even more sadly and desperately.

Everyone felt a little helpless.

It seems that the relationship between these two people must be very good, so she is so sad.

"Don't be sad, call the police first. Don't worry, they will find the murderer and make him pay with his life." Someone comforted Tao Yao.

Some of them took out their cell phones to call the police.

Taoyao caught a glimpse of a fat man standing outside the crowd.

Luo Ru said that Li Hongyan had met the landlord's son and said that he was a little fat.

And among all the people present, there was only this fat man.

Could he be the landlord's son?

Just when someone was about to make a phone call, the landlord showed up late?

"What's wrong? What happened? You're making so much noise and disturbing everyone's rest. What are you all standing here for?"

"Mr. Landlord, there's been a murder here. We have to call the police right away."

At this time, the landlord saw the body on the ground. A sad expression appeared on his face. He said righteously: "I will call the police and find someone to deal with this matter. I will not let the little girl lose her life in vain. Don't worry, I will definitely hire some security guards to make the apartment safer. Can you help to place the person first? It's not a solution to keep lying here."

"But wouldn't the crime scene be destroyed?"

Landlord: "Which is more important, her burial or the crime scene? I can just take pictures of the scene here and show them to the police officers."

After saying this, the landlord took out his cell phone and walked aside.

Seeing this, the others also became busy.

If a serial killer broke in and killed people here, it can't be blamed on the apartment building. They have nothing to say.

Besides, the most urgent matter was the corpse on the ground, and no one mentioned anything for a while.

Tao Yao also followed the others and moved a little closer to Luo Ru's body. When they were carrying Luo Ru, the wound on her neck became more obvious. Judging from the depth and the cut, it must have been caused by a kitchen knife...

My neck is almost broken.

She blended into the crowd, pinching her throat and changing her voice: "It's not the first time that someone has died in this apartment. Is there a murderer here? Is this place really safe?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

Everyone subconsciously moved away from each other, so that the next second Luo Ru's body fell to the ground again.

Only Tao Yao was still holding onto one of the opponent's arms, keeping most of his body suspended in the air. However, seeing the horrified look on her face, it was likely that she would not be able to hold on for much longer.

"That's right! A lot of people have died in the apartment these days. What's going on?"

"Uncle Landlord, if you don't give us an explanation today, it will be hard for us to trust you."

"Every time they say the police will come to investigate, but every time nothing is done. They just give us some compensation. I tell you, this amount of money is not even enough to buy our lives!"

"If you don't make things clear today, then you'll have to cancel the lease and I'll move out right away!"

I don’t know who said that, but it didn’t stop it from igniting anger and suspicion in everyone’s hearts.

The landlord tightened his grip on the phone, and his face, with his back to people, had a rather ferocious expression.

Listening to the tenants' complaints, he smiled ingratiatingly, "I'm so sorry. The previous issues have actually been dealt with. It's just that it would be bad for our apartment's reputation if they were made public, so I chose not to make it public. In the final analysis, it's just bad luck. Since you're all worried, I'll let them check it out publicly this time."

After saying that, he directly dialed the phone. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was forced to make the call to report the case, which made these people nod with slight satisfaction.

Jiang Wan stood on the stairs and looked at the scenes below, his brows furrowed more and more.

What is the situation with this copy?

If someone died before her, would she not have to die so early?

I don’t know whether the police officers in Lingyou Tower are useful or not?

Not long after, a police car arrived.

The few people who came in saw Luo Ru and hurried over.

"Everyone, don't leave yet. Stay and give a statement."

Everyone was very cooperative. In fact, when it came to confessions, no one knew much, and the information was surprisingly consistent.

They heard a man's voice, and went downstairs one after another, and then saw Luo Ru who was dead.

The first two people who arrived at the scene pointed to the fat man not far away.

According to them, the man was already there when they came down.

So suspicion fell on this man.

However, there is no evidence to prove that this person did it, so they can only ask him about it first.

On the other side, everyone else went upstairs and before leaving, they went to find the landlord, asking him to give them mental compensation and replace the door of the house with a new one.

Although the landlord felt a little pain, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it. After all, he was the landlord.

The apartment soon became quiet. Tao Yao took out the compass again and found that the monster was still in Room 301.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Dong dong dong..."

But no matter how hard she knocked on the door, there was no movement from inside.

Tao Yao was about to pick the lock when she heard the landlord's voice from behind: "What are you doing?"

Tao Yao turned around, quickly retracted her gaze, and answered his question very seriously: "Luo Ru is dead, I will check these people one by one, I must find the criminal and help her avenge!"

The landlord looked at the stubborn figure and smiled disdainfully: "This joke is so funny. How can a weak woman like you be a match for a murderer? If you meet him, you'd better worry about your life first!"

"I advise you to go back quickly and stop meddling in other people's business here!"

Tao Yao turned around fiercely: "Uncle Landlord! How can you be so cold-blooded? That's a living life, isn't it your duty to help her find the murderer?"

The landlord looked at her with disdain at the beginning and then turned a little cold: "What should I do? I'm not a policeman! I have already persuaded everyone I should persuade. If you are not afraid of death, then continue to investigate."

Tao Yao asked: "Do you know something?"

The landlord turned his head and said, "I don't know."

"Then can Luo Ru's rent be waived? She's already dead."

landlord:"……"

Who could have thought that she could change the subject so quickly?

But before Tao Yao could say anything else, he had already opened the door: "Yes!"

Then he slammed the door without looking back.

Tao Yao touched his chin. This person must know something, but he just can't or dares not to say it.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party deliberately creates such an illusion.

So his suspicion has not been ruled out yet.

Her actions this time can be said to be a blatant opposition to the murderer. She hopes that the murderer will come to kill her tonight.

After knocking on the door for a while, there was still no response, so she simply used the same trick again and pried open the door lock.

As soon as the door opened, I felt a gust of eerie wind blowing in my face, followed by a chill on my neck.

A pair of cold hands grabbed her neck, but the other party didn't use any force at all, because the Red Flame Sword in Tao Yao's hand had already pressed against the strange body in front of her.

There is no need to consider who will die first.

The cold hand gradually faded away, and a pretty but half-naked woman appeared before him.

She stared at Tao Yao with tears in her eyes, as if she had thousands of pains to express.

Tao Yao didn't buy it. She moved the Red Flame Sword and nodded slightly.

The woman slowly backed away, and after both of them went in, Tao Yao closed the door.

Rear, Room 303.

Behind the door, the landlord saw the scene clearly through the peephole, and his face looked a little hideous.

"This piece of paper was given by you, right?" Tao Yao took out the paper from last night and handed it over.

When the woman saw the paper, she suddenly became frightened and stepped back.

It took her a long time to come out of her fear. She opened her mouth but no sound came out.

Looking closely, I discovered that only half of her tongue was left in her open mouth.

Taoyao: "Do you have any paper?"

The woman looked at her in confusion.

Tao Yao was silent for a moment.

Not only is he dumb, he's also deaf.

I don’t know how much injustice he suffered during his lifetime.
