I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 691 Apartment
"We will all die, we will definitely die." A man wearing glasses with dull eyes kept muttering this sentence over and over. Although he was still alive, he was just a breathing shell. Endless fear had already filled his body.

"Shut up! Although this mission is a bit difficult, it is not necessarily a dead end. The tasks assigned to us always have a glimmer of hope. Besides, there are newcomers this time, and there is always a way to solve the mission!" Another tall and thin man's words were cold, but they had some comforting effect.

In the corner, a woman with her head lowered had a look of reminiscence in her eyes, and her thoughts instantly went back to a year ago.

It was a summer afternoon, a seemingly ordinary day. Looking back now, although it was a day when I, as a corporate slave, faced heavy work tasks and endless complaints, compared to living in fear like now, it was simply a happy day like heaven.

Ye Xiner had just finished working overtime on Saturday and Sunday and left the company gate at four o'clock. She was thinking about what to eat to reward herself in the evening. Suddenly, a translucent passage seemed to appear in front of her eyes. There was an attractive magical power at the other end of the passage. A surge of curiosity in her heart made Ye Xiner's fatigue disappear without a trace. It seemed that only this passage was left in her eyes.

She hesitated for a moment, and had a strong premonition in her heart that if she walked in, her life would definitely deviate from its original trajectory, but it was only for a moment.

The boss's PUA, the burden of the original family, the emotional setbacks, one after another, come to mind. What is there to be nostalgic about in such a life?

So Ye Xiner walked into the passage without looking back, and her figure disappeared at the corner of the street. The strange thing was that the other people around her witnessed a living person disappear, but they turned a blind eye. No, it was not turning a blind eye, but they really didn't see it.

After Ye Xiner stepped into the passage, she felt like she was trapped in endless darkness. Although she could not see any light, it seemed as if there was a voice guiding her from the unknown. She didn't know how long she had walked or how far she had gone.

When she regained consciousness, she saw a very empty space in front of her.

And in the center of this open space... there is a large square apartment.

Although the apartment was newly decorated, it inexplicably gave her a feeling of depression. The square rooms were like a tower of bones, with one room after another containing urns.

At this moment, Ye Xiner seemed to have come out of her unconscious state. She didn't know why she ended up in front of such an apartment.

But something even more bizarre happened. When Ye Xiner wanted to turn around and leave, she found that she couldn't find the way back. Or, in other words, there was nothing in this entire world except this apartment. The open space had no boundaries, but no matter which direction you walked from, when you were about a thousand meters away, you would see this apartment from another direction. Ye Xiner tried this several times and there was no exception.

Even if you choose not to enter this apartment, there is no way back. As for mobile phones or other communication devices, there is no signal. What's even more outrageous is that whether it is a watch or a mobile phone, even the time is suspended and the surrounding sky has not changed at all. Although it feels like several hours have passed, the sky is still gray and there is no sign of getting dark.

But now, Ye Xiner, who was tired and hungry, seemed to have no choice but to walk closer to this apartment.

It was very strange. When she secretly decided to get closer to the apartment no matter what, the apartment door that seemed hundreds of meters away suddenly appeared in front of her, as if it had always been there.

For some reason, the door of this apartment turned into the face of a demon with a ferocious mouth in Ye Xiner's eyes, and the revolving door on the first floor was its big mouth with sharp teeth.

At this moment, ghost stories and urban legends that Ye Xiner had heard from somewhere appeared in her mind one after another, and a speechless fear also emerged. Although there was light coming from the apartment, it could not dispel the fear at all. Instead, it made her even more frightened. However, Ye Xiner was tired and hungry, and she really had no other choice. Despite her fear, she could only push the door open and go in.

It was like a lamb that was delivered to the door, but ran into the monster's mouth.

What was waiting for her was not some ferocious evil ghost, but a kind-faced man, who was probably less than 30 years old. When Ye Xiner saw him, he was reading a book on the sofa on the left side of the lobby on the first floor. The crystal chandelier on the ceiling on the first floor was shining brightly, and the light reflected through the clean tiles was reflected on the man's face, making his facial features more handsome.

"Hey, are you new here?"

Without waiting for Ye Xiner to speak, the man spoke first. His voice was very gentle, like an older brother next door. Such appearance and voice obviously made Ye Xiner relax a lot, and she visibly let down her guard.

"Hello, I think I may be lost. I am tired and hungry now. Can you?" Ye Xiner said bravely.

The man smiled and said, "It was the same when I first came here. It's okay. Please sit down first. What would you like to drink?"

Ye Xiner looked at the very friendly man in front of her and subconsciously chose to believe him. In addition, her physical fatigue would not lie. After working overtime and being worried, she was in urgent need of rest and replenishment.

So he walked to the other side of the sofa and sat down, saying, "Mineral water will be fine."

"Okay." The man smiled slightly, then stood up and took a few steps. Only then did Ye Xin'er realize that there was actually a huge freezer behind the door. The freezer was fully stocked with all kinds of drinks, brands that Ye Xin'er had seen and not seen before. The man casually opened the freezer door and took out a glass bottle. Ye Xin'er had seen this brand before. It was mineral water that the boss had specially ordered for foreign merchants to come. A bottle cost three figures, which made her flattered. She quickly said, "I don't need such an expensive one. An ordinary one will do."

The man smiled and said, "It's okay, just consider it as my treat."

As he said that, he took out another water bottle that Ye Xiner didn't recognize. Although she didn't recognize it, Ye Xiner dared to bet that it was definitely not cheap.

Ye Xiner looked at the gentle man in front of her and couldn't help but relax. She also took the mineral water and took a sip.

“It seems to be no different from ordinary ones.”

She thought so.

The man said, "You are the new resident."

"Oh, no, that's not it. I just got lost and ended up here somehow. Actually, I came here just to find someone to help me contact the outside world, because my cell phone has no signal for some reason." Ye Xiner said quickly.

Unexpectedly, the man laughed when he heard the voice and said, "You are the new resident. If you are not a resident of the apartment, no one will be able to find this place."

"What do you mean?" Ye Xiner held the glass bottle tightly in her hand.

The man shook his head and said, "You can feel your pocket."

Ye Xiner quickly searched her pockets and finally found a key in her shirt pocket. Since the place where Ye Xiner lives now uses a fingerprint lock, she bet that she definitely didn't have any keys, and this key was definitely not hers.

"This..." She was obviously surprised.

The key has the numbers 1024 engraved on it in bright red font, which seems to be the room number.

She showed the key to the man, who smiled and said, "1024, oh, I remember now. Xiao Qin seemed to have died last month. Come to think of it, new people come quite frequently." Hearing the man say the word "death" calmly, Ye Xiner jumped up in fright.

Looking at Ye Xiner's attitude, the man smiled and shook his head, then explained: "Don't be afraid, this is the fate of the residents. After all, once you are selected by the apartment, you can't leave. It's nothing more than a struggle to survive."

"No, I'm sorry. I think you may have made a mistake. I'm just lost. I'll leave now." Ye Xiner said quickly.

The man stood up and stopped her, saying, "Although this is indeed hard to believe, everything I say next is true. Please listen to it before deciding whether to leave!"

Perhaps it was because of the man's serious expression, or perhaps it was because of the various strange events in the apartment, Ye Xiner involuntarily chose to stop and listen to the man's words.

The man snapped his fingers, then pointed in another direction and said, "Look over there first."

"Hey, there's a TV here?" Ye Xiner looked in the direction the man pointed, only to find that there was actually a large screen in the lobby.

The man said, "No one knows how long the apartment has been around. Perhaps it's ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred, or even longer. It's just that the image of the apartment was different before. After all, there wasn't this big screen three years ago. It shows that the apartment is able to keep up with the times."

The man laughed at himself and then, perhaps by pressing the remote control or something, the big screen suddenly started playing something.

"Those selected by the apartment can enjoy free accommodation, unlimited food and drinks, a gym on the second floor, a laundry room, etc. If it weren't for the occasional mission, this place would be really nice."

Ye Xiner noticed that the big screen was showing the environment of the apartment. Basically, every time the man said something, the big screen would play the corresponding picture.

It wasn't until the man mentioned irregular tasks that the big screen suddenly went dark and flickered.

"Is it broken?" Ye Xiner asked.

The man shook his head and said, "No, please wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

The next second, a charred corpse suddenly appeared on the big screen. Ye Xiner was immediately frightened and screamed, but the man said, "Every frame that follows is very precious. Please watch carefully."

Ye Xiner didn't know where she got the courage from, but she actually opened her eyes.

The big screen showed a scene of a group of people dodging charred corpses. Although it was indeed very realistic, after Ye Xiner treated it as a horror movie, she could accept it and even watched it with gusto.

It’s just that the scenes are a bit too pornographic and there’s no way they’ll pass the review.

"What kind of film resources is this? Such high definition, such a large scale, what amazing technology. Look at that guy, it looks like he's really been burned, half his body is burnt. And his acting is also very good, it doesn't look like he's acting at all, it's like he's really being chased by a ghost. And that, wow, my pants are wet."

Ye Xiner was a little off-key to begin with, but after seeing these, she felt much more relaxed.

"Really?" The man suddenly laughed, pointing at the half-burnt man on the big screen and said, "Look, does this guy look familiar to you?"

"Look familiar?" Ye Xiner asked back, then focused her attention on the man, and found that he did look familiar, but definitely not someone she knew. Instead, it looked like she had only seen him once or twice.

Then she subconsciously glanced at the man in front of her. The more she looked, the more familiar he looked. Suddenly, she blurted out, "Hey, isn't that you? Is this the movie you starred in?"

The man smiled crookedly and said, "What if I say this isn't acting?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Xiner asked.

The man touched the left side of his face and then gently peeled it off.

What kind of face is this? A white eyeball is exposed, all the skin is carbonized, the black stripes are like the texture of trees, and there seems to be a trace of blood on the gums and white teeth.

"what!!!"

Ye Xiner's eyes went dark and she immediately fainted on the ground.

"Hey, I've told you several times, don't scare her like that. She's a newbie, who can handle being scared like that?"

A young woman in a green dress rolled her eyes and slowly walked down the stairs.

The man slowly put the uncovered skin back in place and said calmly, "It can be considered a small test. After all, timid people won't live long. It's not worth investing too much."

"In any case, more people means more strength," the woman said calmly. "By the way, what room is she in?"

The man groaned and said, "1024!"

When Ye Xiner woke up, she was lying on a clean white bed. The bedroom was large and the lights were on. Ye Xiner felt like she was still dreaming. She looked around and realized that this was not her small apartment of less than 30 square meters.

So she got up carefully and found that it was a very large house, about 100 square meters, but it only had one bedroom and one living room. The house was fully equipped with electrical appliances and furniture, including a large-screen TV, a projector, a sofa, a wardrobe, a coffee table, a refrigerator, a rice cooker in the kitchen, etc. It was completely ready for you to move in with just your luggage.

There is also a large balcony, which even has a rocking chair. The decoration looks like new, it is simply perfect.

"So, are you satisfied, miss?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
