The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 71 Black Invitation
"Let me see your router." Qi Fei suddenly asked.

Luo Yang looked away after hearing this, and lowered his head and said, "I, I won't need it after I use it up this month. I'm sorry."

"Of course, no one will pay the internet bill next month." Qi Fei said coldly.

Wu Shanqiu didn't understand what they were saying. She looked at the two people and said, "What's wrong?"

"This guy is using the internet for free." Qi Fei pointed at the router next to the computer. "This thing isn't even powered on, how is he getting online?"

Luo Yang kept glancing upstairs, which matched Qi Fei's initial guess. He immediately asked, "Are you using Liang Di's internet cafe upstairs?"

Qi Fei pointed at the signal amplifier hanging on the window.

Luoyang nodded in shame: "Grandma Chen upstairs doesn't use the Internet, the speed is very fast... I usually use the Internet enough, and when I need to help people practice their accounts, I go to the Internet cafe..."

He lowered his head and folded a corner of his clothes, looking like a middle school student who had made a mistake.

Six years have passed. Since his father died, Luo Yang, who has been alone, has never grown up.

But this is not what Qi Fei cares about. What he cares about is Chen Liangdi's family's network.

He took out his phone, clicked on the mysterious account that Sha Gou had pushed to him before, and showed it to Luo Yang: "Have you seen this video?"

Luo Yang glanced at it and shrank back, obviously knowing what had happened.

"You sent it." Qi Fei's words were not even a question.

Wu Shanqiu, who was standing by, exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!"

"I just want to make some money," Luo Yang said. "So far, this video can help me earn more than ten yuan every month..."

"I don't care how much money you make. Tell me, how do you know the deaths in this building aren't accidental?"

"Ah, I don't know. My dad told me about what happened before. Later, people kept getting into trouble, so I thought, let's make a gimmick about a haunted building and post it. Maybe it will go viral, so...ah, speaking of which..." Luo Yang turned around and rummaged through his garbage bin. He finally found a black envelope and handed it to Qi Fei: "I encountered a strange thing last night. I was half asleep and there was a knock on the door. When I opened the door, I saw this."

Qi Fei took a look and saw an invitation inside. Unlike ordinary invitations, this one was black with two gold-plated words on the cover that said "Invitation". The content was an invitation to him to attend a party tomorrow night. All the residents of Guiyue Apartment would be there, and the final solution to the apartment ownership would be announced at that time. The location would be Room 402 of Guiyue Apartment, and the signature was actually Lao Yu.

Luo Yang said doubtfully, "Everyone says that Uncle Yu is the murderer who killed everyone. Why did he suddenly invite me to a party? Does he want to kill me too?"

Qi Fei remained calm and returned the invitation to Luo Yang: "Since it's a party, you won't be the only one attending, so go without worry."

After leaving Room 102, Qi Fei immediately asked Wu Shanqiu, "Is Zhong Kui away all day today?"

"Oh, yes, she didn't come to the police station today, but she's always been elusive, so it's normal that she didn't show up."

"I don't know what she is doing." Qi Fei finished speaking.

Zhong Kui was already walking towards them gracefully in the night.

"Why do I hear someone chirping at me from behind?" Zhong Kui said with a half-smile, her rosy lips curled up.

"Did you leave the invitation to Luo Yang at his door?" Qi Fei asked as soon as he saw Zhong Kui.

"How did you know?"

"The invitation smells so strongly of spices, just like the ones in your house."

"Of course it's me. How is it? Isn't it a beautiful design?" "I advise you not to go after Luo Yang. He has no money at all."

"I've given one to everyone." Zhong Kui said as she handed a black invitation to Qi Fei, "This one is for you."

"Everyone? Just like it says above, you plan to gather all the residents of Guiyue Apartments into Room 402?"

"Yes."

"You're alerting the enemy. What if the murderer is among them and escapes?"

Zhong Kui, however, did not seem worried at all: "That person knew that if he did not show up, he would be exposed."

"What about Lao Yu? Lao Yu is the biggest suspect at the moment, so it's all a waste of effort." Qi Fei continued unconvinced.

Zhong Kui blinked and said, "Qi Fei, you don't really think that Old Yu is still alive, do you?"

"Why, Great Immortal, what did you sense?"

Zhong Kui didn't say anything, but took out a piece of paper and handed it to Qi Fei: "After you read this, tell me that Lao Yu is still alive."

Qi Fei opened it and took a look, and couldn't help but open his eyes wide. Even the dim light of the street lamp was enough for him to see the contents clearly.

Before he could ask any more questions, Zhong Kui turned around and disappeared gracefully into the darkness.

Wu Shanqiu looked at Qi Fei's surprised expression and couldn't help but come over curiously. At first, she couldn't understand the content above. After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Ah this..." and then covered her mouth.

Qi Fei sighed deeply: "Zhong Kui is right again, Old Yu should be dead..."

He once again looked down at the invitation Zhong Kui had given him and had to admit that it was indeed very exquisitely made. She always had this strange sense of ritual.

He looked back again and saw that the lights in three households in Guiyue Apartment were still on. For one of them, it would be a sleepless night. Zhong Kui was right. Only one person knew about the invitation sent in the name of Lao Yu. Lao Yu was dead, and if he didn't show up, it would be tantamount to confessing his crime.

The next day was a long day. Everyone related to Guiyue Apartment was anxiously waiting for dark and the time for the party with different purposes.

The same is true for Qi Fei. Of course, for him, what he is waiting for is the truth.

The lights in the corridor were dim. Although the scene had been cleaned up, the stench of corpses that permeated the building still lingered, and became stronger the closer one got to Room 402.

When Qi Fei arrived, the living room was already full of people.

He Zhixin and Zhou Li from Room 101, Luo Yang from Room 102, Wang Dakang and Zhao Xiaozhen from Room 201, Chang Hui from Room 302, Lu Xiuxia and Xiaoyou from Room 401, and even Sha Gou were all there.

Everyone was seated separately in the living room.

Only Zhong Kui sat in the middle, with the big cat Rakshasa and Grandma Meng on his left and right respectively. The man and the cat seemed to be the guardians of Zhong Kui's final judgment and would never be absent.

The black merit box was placed in the middle. No one knew when it was brought from Sanwu Town.

Zhong Kui saw Qi Fei arrive and said with a bright red grin, "Okay, we're all here, we can start."

Zhao Xiaozhen looked around and asked, "Where's Old Yu? Didn't he invite us here?"
