1TWITF[C Chapter 12

Chapter 12

This was a simple surveillance system he had installed in the living room before. He hadn’t had time to look at it for the past few days, but today, he had to figure out what Lu Yanli had done.

The computer screen flashed through the footage at high speed, and he saw the scene from that day.

What happened after that?

After lunch, Huang Wei sat in the rocking chair sunbathing.

Lu Yanli busied himself with housework, occasionally chatting with Huang Wei.

At that time, he was in the room collecting information.

Lan Zhiyu Ocean Park… Since there is an ocean park, could there be other buildings named after her as well? As soon as he thought of this, He Lou immediately started searching, and sure enough, he found quite a few, such as Lan Zhiyu Zoo, Lan Zhiyu Pet Hospital, and so on.

He felt strange about these buildings. Why were they all zoos and pet hospitals? Or ocean parks or vegetable markets? Considering Lan Zhiyu’s raising of zombies, he didn’t find it so strange anymore.

Perhaps someone was continuing to raise zombies in her name, so they needed fresh flesh and blood?

So he didn’t notice that Huang Wei was discussing switching rooms with Lu Yanli.

So, that night, Huang Wei slept in the living room! Lu Yanli went into the room and stayed with Feng Chuchu!

Seeing this, He Lou could no longer deceive himself that their disappearance had nothing to do with Lu Yanli.

He Lou’s chest heaved violently, and he forcibly suppressed his anger and continued watching.

Since the place where He Lou placed the miniature camera was next to the TV, and the camera had a night vision function, Huang Wei’s entire transformation process was clearly recorded by the camera, second by second.

Anyone with eyes could see that he was about to turn into a zombie.

Just then, a figure appeared in front of him.

Huang Wei, who was still struggling, fainted, and then the person very neatly tied his hands and feet, grabbed his ankles, and slowly dragged him out.

Just like he had treated his companion for a bus ticket, now, the person being dragged out by his hands and feet had become himself.

Where would Lu Yanli take the body?

The answer to this question was obvious!

Didn’t they have someone move the body to that place when they were testing whether they could leave the apartment?

He Lou suddenly raised his hand to cover his face, and a silent, bitter laugh leaked from between his fingers.

He Lou suddenly froze, his back feeling cold.

He… he had always known about the existence of the camera!

What he said was: “You finally found out?”

He Lou only felt a burning pain on his face.

He Lou didn’t know how many tasks he had to complete to be free, but at least, he couldn’t give up. He just needed to keep living.

Keep living.

No matter which world, he only needed to race against ghosts and fight against other task-doers. In their eyes, the native people of the otherworld were always associated with terms like “shields” and “scapegoats.” With just a few casual lies, they could easily get them to trade their lives for clues for themselves. As long as they weren’t the ones who died, then who cared who it was?

It was just a matter of different utility.

Who knew that he would encounter such a… He Lou was no longer willing to use the term NPC to describe Lu Yanli. He stared intently at the man sleeping peacefully on the screen, his expression terribly contorted.

Just then, his post on several anonymous forums had a new reply.

He Lou composed himself and opened the new message to view it.

As he read, his eyes widened.

In another room, Lu Yanli was lying in bed, holding his phone with both hands, seemingly playing.

On the phone screen, the changing colors of He Lou’s face were being played.

He admired it for a while before turning it off and entering dreamland happily.

Speaking of which, he vaguely heard a scream on the fifth floor today. It seemed to be a woman.

Which of the residents in this building is a woman?

……

The next day, the remaining four people got up as usual. He Lou looked as usual. After saying a few words to Li Fangzhi, he sat at the dining table and waited for Lu Yanli to make breakfast.

Since he wanted to pretend, let him pretend. If Lu Yanli wanted to poison them, he would have done it long ago. Since he specifically kept the three of them until now, perhaps he had some use for them.

Then, they could talk.

“Any new discoveries today?” Li Fangzhi asked.

Everyone tacitly ignored Li Fangwan’s abnormality.

Li Fangzhi was a little anxious.

He Lou nodded: “Yes.”

He shared the information he had obtained.

He found all the buildings named after Lan Zhiyu across the country and posted them on that forum. Then someone contacted him and told him that if the locations of these buildings were connected, they would form a certain Taoist magic array that was said to have been lost for a long time.

“The center of this magic array is Lan Zhiyu Ocean Park,” He Lou said slowly.

“Not sure,” He Lou shook his head. Then, he made a bold decision.

“Tomorrow is Tuesday. Let’s take advantage of the fact that he’s not home and go to 404 together.”

Because it was just upstairs, He Lou spoke very quietly, but the firmness in his words was unquestionable.

Rather than sitting still and waiting for the ghosts to kill them inexplicably, it was better to take the initiative and perhaps find some tools in 404 that could allow them to escape.

Lu Yanli was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: “Okay.”
