Chapter 9, Panic

Do you take me for a savior? I am neither a Bodhisattva nor Jesus, how would I know what to do? Zhao Long honestly had enough of being the person in charge; he barely survived the last blood letter. Originally, his intention was to maintain contact with Mo Yuan. Currently, the three individuals who have experienced the most blood letters in the apartment are Mo Yuan, Qin Ziyuan, and Nie Han. All three have successfully executed the blood letter four times, but among them, the one most willing to help other residents is Mo Yuan, who claims that no one can surpass him in this regard. However, now that the phone connection has been severed, it is impossible to reach Mo Yuan under these circumstances

"You, a new resident, what kind of authority do you think you have in front of me?" Feng Yu vented his fear and unease onto Dong Xie, saying, "You, a newcomer who hasn't even crossed the blood threshold, are you even qualified to point fingers at us?"

If I go out... if I encounter that old lady..." As Feng Yu thought of this, he truly did not dare to go out: "There must be another way, right?"

Who can calm down, has that old lady already come in

To them, Dong Xie was merely a new resident executing the blood letter for the first time. To put it bluntly, they regarded Dong Xie as nothing more than a dead man, having no expectations of him whatsoever

In fact, this is not a very complicated matter. However, when faced with fear, both Zhao Long and Feng Yu, among others, chose to bury their heads in the sand. They knew that going out might lead to clues, but just the thought of that old lady, this personified horror, made them too afraid to take a step forward

Just as the other three were arguing more and more intensely, Dong Xie’s words immediately drew their attention to him

Zhao Long looked at Feng Yu and Ge Qi, who had completely lost their opinions, even asking him whether they should go out or not, which left Zhao Long's mind blank. To be honest, he also did not know what the correct choice was. If they went out now, would it be even worse? Perhaps that old lady was waiting for them downstairs! Just thinking about this made Zhao Long's legs go weak. If they went out now, would it be even worse? Perhaps that old lady was waiting for them downstairs!

"Phew... it's still okay..." Ge Qi let out a sigh of relief; there was nothing extra in the room. Otherwise, Ge Qi would have been scared out of his wits.

Indeed, the voice of Geqi, holding the lighter, also trembled as he said, "Zhao Long, you have successfully survived the bloodshed twice; you must have some ideas, right? What... what should we do to handle this well?"

What should we do?

Dong Ning watched this scene from the side, feeling utterly disappointed in the three of them. With their current state, it would be a miracle if they could survive.

I mean..." Dong Xie cleared his throat and said: "In such a small room, if 'those things' really appear, it would be quite unsafe for us. It would be better to go out and explore a bit; even if we are attacked, perhaps we can find some clues related to survival.

After Geki opened the lighter, he immediately shone it around the surroundings.

The records and materials written in blood that were reviewed in the past proved to be of no use when it came to practice. After all, the patterns of activity of "those things" within the blood writings are fundamentally difficult to deduce. For blood writings of lower difficulty, their actions are sometimes restricted, making it impossible to locate the residents' positions, and their physical movements are not very swift. Of course, this is all during the early stages of the blood writing execution. As it approaches the end, if there is still no way to find a way out, the restrictions will gradually be lifted.

Ge Qi also chimed in from the side: "Exactly, we have only lived through the blood letter once. To be honest, the last time I encountered the blood letter, I barely managed to escape back to the apartment. I don't want to die! You, you must have some ideas, right? You have executed the blood letter the most and are the leader of our temporary team. You cannot be irresponsible! Didn't Spider-Man say that with great power comes great responsibility?"

The room was plunged into complete darkness, rendering even the mobile phones unusable, which indeed caused a heightened sense of panic among everyone

What are you talking about? From the very beginning, Feng Yu completely ignored Dong Xie; this time, it was merely to borrow his car to go to the location of the blood letter execution.

Not only Feng Yu, but Ge Qi also looked at Dong Xie with the same expression as one would look at a fool

Dong Xie looked at the people in front of him and realized that he could not rely on them at all. They claimed to be long-term residents, but they were hardly different from him, a newcomer, and perhaps even worse off. Their past experiences, marked by bloodshed, had clearly terrified them to the core. Dong Xie understood that in order to survive, he could only depend on himself and A Ning.

I cannot open my phone either, what should I do about this

What responsibility? I have no responsibility at all! I am not Spider-Man; I am just an ordinary person!

Ge Qi! However, just when everyone was in a state of confusion, Dong Ning's voice came through: "Don't you have a lighter?"

At this moment, Feng Yu was completely at a loss, like a headless fly. He looked at Zhao Long and asked, "So... um, Zhao Long, do you have any strategies? What should we do in this situation? Should we stay here, or... go out?"

When the light reappeared in front of everyone, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, at least the lighter was still functional. At a critical moment, none of the girls reacted quickly.

No one would believe that this is a natural power outage Yet, even so, such a sudden change still filled them with fear

There is no other way. Dong Xie said decisively: "A path to survival cannot simply be presented to us; evasion is of no use in such matters. I have reviewed the past records of blood letters... If the residents do not actively seek out hints for a path to survival, they will die for lack of it. We must explore Building 3 with the map; only in this way do we have hope of finding a path to survival.

And the last time with the blood characters... In the end, it was because all the information was communicated with Mo Yuan throughout the process, that Mo Yuan finally figured out a way to survive. Without Mo Yuan, Zhao Long was plunged into complete despair. He felt that he was definitely not someone with a high IQ; during the previous two instances with the blood characters, he was completely in the dark and had no idea how the so-called way to survive was deduced. If he could not deduce a way to survive, then he was left with only a dead end.

"What do you mean, Zhao Long?" Feng Yu was immediately anxious: "Aren't you and Mo Yuan living quite close to each other? You two often communicate about various things, right? Mo Yuan must have shared some survival experiences with you regarding the blood characters, hasn't he? You can't just abandon your responsibilities at a time like this!"

Listen to me! At that moment, Dong Xie spoke up: "Let's go out first!"

However, even if "those things" cannot be located, it is by no means an easy task to hide within such a building. This is beyond doubt

Stay calm ... ... stay calm!

In an instant, everyone finally remembered this matter. Ge Qi himself also recalled this and quickly took out a lighter, igniting a flicker of flame.
