Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 744 Warm Neighbors

Wu Xian frowned as he pinched the tiny nightmare seed.

"That is to say, after eating this seed, there are two choices."

"One is to permanently increase the number of times you worship the gods when you enter a dream in the future, and the other is to improve the quality of worshipping the gods during a single dream, which can turn ordinary items into rare items."

"If you have many dreams, then the former is obviously more cost-effective. If you have few dreams, then the latter is more cost-effective."

"But now, I don't even know how to fall asleep next time."

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Xian put the seeds away, deciding to wait until he had enough understanding of this nightmare before eating them.

There was no clock in the room, which meant that Wu Xian had no way of knowing the exact time in his nightmare.

He sat on the sofa in front of the statue and decided to wait for a while. If there was no change, he would venture out through the main door to see if he could get any new clues.

Not long after, the candle in front of the statue suddenly went out, and the lights in the room lit up, and the mist outside the window changed from black to light gray.

"Is this the daytime in the nightmare?"

After the light came on, exploration became easier, and Wu Xian searched the entire room again.

He climbed the ladder and entered the attic.

There was a lot of miscellaneous items piled up in the attic. Among them, Wu Xian found a small safe with a coin in it.

The room in the hallway that smells of blood is the toilet, but the toilet is full of half-dried blood, which is the source of the smell.

It is thought that the murderer killed the hanging ghost and was about to flush the blood down the toilet, but he did not expect that the toilet was already clogged.

The bloodstains that had been cleaned under the sofa in the living room were probably the work of the murderer.

In addition, Wu Xian also found a calendar on the wall of the hallway. There was no specific date on the calendar, only rows of numbers '1'. The days that had passed were erased, and a red circle was drawn every seven days for the coming days. These red circles might be the days for collecting rent.

Wu Xian waited at the door for a while and heard the sound of a door opening and footsteps outside, but no screams, which meant it was safe outside now.

crunch...

The main door slowly opened and Wu Xian stuck his head out.

What appeared before him was a two-meter-long corridor.

There were no teammates that Wu Xian wanted to see in the corridor, only a woman with disheveled hair, standing on the windowsill of the corridor for an unknown purpose, with her entire body pressed against the glass window.

Wu Xian did not provoke the woman, but walked around the corridor first.

There are eight rooms in the entire corridor, and Wu Xian lives in room 404, which means that the building has at least four floors, and his teammates may be on other floors.

There is an elevator on the 401 side, and a sealed room on the 408 side with no stairs, which means that the only way to go downstairs is by elevator.

There are coin slots in the sealed rooms and elevators.

There are instructions at the coin slot of the elevator, which states that the elevator can be used freely at night, but requires coins to be used during the day.

Wu Xian has a coin, but he decides to explore the fourth floor first.

The door of Room 407 was open. There were two corpses and a lot of blood at the door. The corpses were all bitten beyond recognition.

It must have been these two people who made the noise last night and led away the thing wandering outside the door.

The layout of 407 is not much different from that of 404. There is also an attic inside. However, after Wu Xian climbed up, he only found an empty safe.

The safe was stained with fresh blood, which should have been opened by the attacker yesterday. It seemed that the so-called rent collection was the coins placed in the safe. After coming out of 407, Wu Xian walked behind the strange woman and poked her thigh with his hand. This was not hooliganism, but she was standing on the windowsill, so it was not easy to poke her waist.

"Hello, I'm your neighbor. I just moved into 404. I still don't know a lot about this place. Can I ask you for some advice?"

When the woman heard Wu Xian's voice, she turned her head woodenly. She described the haggard and dark circles under his eyes as ten times heavier than those of the original Wu Xian, almost as severe as those of a panda, and his eyes were full of red bloodshot.

Seeing this, Wu Xian immediately took a step back, but soon realized that this woman was not an evil spirit, but just an ordinary person in a very bad condition.

The woman looked at Wu Xian enviously: "You look very energetic, did you just sleep?"

"Well...if a dozen hours ago is still considered just now."

"Ah, I really just slept. This is so enviable. I haven't slept for almost a month."

The woman climbed down from the window and opened the door of room 402.

As the door opened, a puff of hot air came out. The woman walked in, stood sideways at the door with only half of her body exposed, and forced an exaggerated smile at Wu Xian.

"Come in, I will treat the new neighbor well, and you can ask me any questions you have."

Wu Xian stopped at the door and said, "Before you go in, let me ask you why you haven't slept for so long?"

"Sleep?" The woman looked at Wu Xian strangely, "Sleeping in a nightmare will lead to a deeper nightmare!"

This nightmare is layered!
Wu Xian's eyes flickered: "Do you know this is a nightmare?"

The woman was a little impatient: "Don't ask so many questions, come in quickly, I just made a pot of broth, it's still hot."

"Well, that's rude."

The next second, Wu Xian walked in.

But he went in head first, and his forehead hit the woman's face fiercely!

This collision was driven by a fiery aggression, and the huge force directly knocked the woman away.

The woman flew out with her nose bleeding. Her other hand, which was previously hidden behind the door, was holding a bloody hammer!
The dazed woman tried to get up and swing the hammer at Wu Xian.

But Wu Xian stepped on her arm, took away her hammer, and smashed her knee.

"You said you cooked a pot of broth, but I only smelled water vapor, not the slightest smell of meat."

The woman twisted her body crazily, blood foaming from her mouth as she shouted, "Kill me, just kill me!"

……

Although the woman wanted to make Wu Xian into soup, Wu Xian did not kill her. Instead, he tied her up and asked her for the information he needed.

Of course, she was not very cooperative, so Wu Xian used some tricks.

There are many kitchen utensils in room 402. Depending on how they are used, the kitchen utensils can also be turned into torture instruments. Wu Xian is not a good cook, but he has some talent in torture.

After some trouble, Wu Xian really found out some things.

This building has no name and has five floors in total. It can only be accessed by elevator. There are nine rooms on each of the second to fifth floors. There are no rooms on the first floor, only a long, dark and terrifying corridor.

To leave the building, you need to find seven keys.

Fortunately, all seven keys are in the hands of one person, the rent collector who only appears at night.
