Chapter 3, Wishes

I was originally supposed to do a makeup live stream today... I haven't even tried the new TF lipstick shade I bought..." Dong Ning said this as she picked up the materials on the table and gave Dong Xie a hard knock on the head, saying: "Alright! Pull yourself together, you idiot! What good does it do to say all this! You don't have a time machine to go back and change things, so you can only face it. When our parents passed away, I endured those difficult days, and I got through it. Compared to that time... I actually feel that things are not so bad now.

Due to the fact that the door was not closed, residents who had gathered had already arrived at this time

The last method. The way to survive generally involves finding a certain special means, thereby preventing the evil spirit from harming the residents. The specific circumstances are quite complex and cannot be explained in just a few sentences.

2:00 AM

That day was undoubtedly a day that could be described as hellish for the siblings Dong Xie and Dong Ning. Through the written materials and images left behind by previous residents, the two of them almost stayed up all night watching.

It can be said that the malevolent spirits will be subject to significant restrictions in their activities, which means that they will provide the residents with hope for finding a way out during the execution of tasks. The paths indicated by the blood characters may also exist in multiple forms... Furthermore, there will be prompts during the execution of the blood character tasks...

It is evident that she thought of her parents who passed away in the car accident

That shadow is merely cursed and is not an evil spirit in itself. You can rest assured about this

Yes. If you do not believe this, you can download the file to check. You can save the video file in your own cloud storage and watch it repeatedly

Dong Xie could not help but admire his younger sister. His mind was now completely blank and chaotic. Perhaps it was also due to the sudden car accident years ago, which plunged him into unprecedented pain, leading him to a period of self-imposed isolation and refusal to accept reality. At that time, it was his sister Dong Ning who helped him regain his strength

... ...

"Is it ... ...?" Dong Xie then sat down again. At that moment, he looked at Dong Ning, who was sitting beside him, and suddenly felt a bit awkward. Did he appear too timid in front of his sister just now?

Currently, the following individuals have been confirmed to have left the apartment according to the written records: Li Yin, Ke Yin Ye, Ke Yin Yu

Dong Ning is still in university, so she just needs to ask for leave from her teacher. On the other hand, Dong Xie makes a living by writing online novels, so he only needs to issue a leave notice. Of course, he cannot avoid being heavily criticized by a large number of readers in the "This Chapter Says" section, with complaints about how there have already been several days of no updates this month, and questioning why he needs to take leave again

"Really... really?" Upon hearing this, Dong Xie finally felt relieved, but then he thought of something: "No, you are lying! Earlier, I saw my shadow actually moving on its own, isn't that... those things?"

After the chaos, Dong Xie also regained consciousness. At this moment, he must do everything possible to protect his sister in order to survive

Mo Yuan and Dong Xie both knew what "those things" referred to, but Dong Xie truly did not dare to utter that word. It sounded quite absurd; after all, he himself was a writer of horror and thriller novels, and the plots he crafted in his own works had caused many readers to be too afraid to go to the bathroom at night. In fact, to gather material, he had watched nearly a hundred horror films from Asia and Europe. However, when faced with real malevolent spirits, Dong Xie was filled with intense fear, especially after the experience he had just gone through.

I now only feel that it is very crazy, this is simply something that only happens in novels and TV dramas, how could it happen to me..." Dong Xie looked at the core points that his sister had listed for him and said, "I am sorry... A Ning, it is my fault, I brought you to this kind of place..."

Mo Yuan, there are new residents coming... Hmm? You are here?

In summary

This information in the group can answer you

Um... Dong Ning did not pay much attention to this point, but continued to ask Mo Yuan for some details: "Um... the shadow is under... a curse? So, our shadows will... when we violate the rules..."

This is the resident who is closest to us and has completed the blood character indication ten times, his name is Fang Han! At that time, completing the blood character ten times could grant a wish, a new feature that emerged after the 'upgrade' of the apartment 8 years ago. However, while it is said that wishes can be granted, it is by no means omnipotent. Things like resurrecting the dead or conquering the world are simply impossible.

Dong Xie understands his sister's character; even in the most difficult situations, she would make light-hearted jokes and say inappropriate things to find joy amidst suffering. The car accident in her childhood has endowed her with a resilience in the face of adversity that is far stronger than that of the average person

After glancing at Dong Xie, Dong Ning said, "Hmm... alright, I trust you, Mr. Mo. So those evil spirits will kill us while we are carrying out our tasks?"

Mo Yuan observed that although Dong Ning's shoulders and hands were trembling uncontrollably, her expression remained quite composed, and the organization of her questions was remarkably clear

At this point, Dong Ning's eyes also began to well up with tears

Hearing Mo Yuan utter this sentence, Dong Xie felt a tremor in his heart, and he even began to look around, saying: "Then... does this apartment also have..."

What is meant by the so-called "path of life"? Dong Ning inquired quite meticulously: "Is it similar to a cheat code in a game? A magical artifact that can subdue evil spirits? Or is it a special means that allows us to avoid curses?"

I would like to hear your opinion. Dong Ning's character has always adhered to the belief that it is better to have no books than to believe in them blindly. Compared to rigid written records, practical experience is much more important. Which kind of "path of life" am I referring to?

Before that extremely terrifying word could escape Dong Xie's lips, Mo Yuan immediately reassured him: "Yes... you can rest assured. The interior of this apartment is a forbidden zone that no... those things can enter. Once they force their way in, they will be devoured by the power of this apartment."

After mentioning several names, she continued, "Overall, 8 years ago, after the last batch of residents completed the so-called 'Demon King-level' blood letters, this apartment underwent a renewal. In simple terms, the current apartment has undergone significant changes in both rules and facilities. For instance, the way residents enter the apartment has changed, and there has also been a major 'renovation' inside the apartment..."

The first to enter was Zhao Long, who was also tasked with carrying out this blood-letter directive. He immediately spotted the siblings Dong Xie and Dong Ning.

When it came to the "resurrection of the dead," Dong Ning's tone clearly became mournful

After drinking an unknown number of cans of coffee, Dong Ning wrote a summary for Dong Xie, which she had compiled from all the information, and showed it to him
