Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 523 The Fastest Way to Wake Up

"No, Teacher Zeng, you may have the ability, but you don't have the courage."

Wan Yu said mercilessly, "You don't even dare to confess to Yi Fei, let alone launch a night raid."

Zeng Xiaoxian smiled expressionlessly. Although he was very dissatisfied, he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

He can't very well deny that he's good at night raids.

Wanyu continued, "What I mean is, could it be that someone impersonated you, Teacher Zeng, and then took advantage of Yifei's lack of awareness to launch a surprise attack?"

"After all, this is a martial arts world, so it's possible that a serial killer can disguise himself or shrink his body."

"and……"

As Wan Yu spoke, she snapped her fingers, and her face began to twist and change, quickly transforming into Zeng Xiaoxian's appearance.

Wan Yu, now transformed into Xiao Xian, squinted her eyes and said in a cheeky tone, "Yi Fei, Xiao Fei Fei, Fei Fei Fei Fei..."

"hiss……"

Zeng Xiaoxian gasped, blurting out a sarcastic remark: "Am I usually this sleazy?"

"No, not at all." Mario patted him on the shoulder. "Teacher Zeng, you're usually much more sleazy than this."

Zeng Xiaoxian was both amused and exasperated, rolling his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

Wan Yu snapped her fingers, transforming back into her original form: "How was it? Wasn't my imitation convincing?"

After thinking for a while, Youyou commented seriously: "If that murderer could also deliberately imitate you like this, Yifei would definitely notice something was wrong after a while, but he should be able to fool her in the short term."

"I think even if Yifei is very cautious, she wouldn't suspect Teacher Zeng immediately."

Wan Yu nodded: "The main problem is that our way of thinking is still the same as the way of thinking in the real world. This kind of face-changing thing is really ridiculous."

"So even if Yifei noticed something was off about Teacher Zeng from the beginning, she wouldn't immediately realize that the person who came to see her in the middle of the night wasn't actually Teacher Zeng."

Mario chuckled and said, "Besides, if it's Teacher Zeng, then even if he's a little abnormal, it's perfectly normal in Yi Fei's eyes."

Zeng Xiaoxian looked embarrassed.

Why is it that even at such an important time, people still like to make fun of themselves all the time?

Wanyu then analyzed, "If our idea is correct, then it proves two things."

"The first thing is that the murderer has the ability to change his appearance, so when you searched Wudang Mountain yesterday, you didn't find anything except me and Zhang Wei."

"The second thing is..."

The three of them said in unison, "This serial killer knows all of us very well."

The four exchanged glances and finally confirmed that the killer must be one of the people in the apartment.

But this raises a new problem.

If this killer really was someone from the apartment, he wouldn't know so much about the others if he was lost in his dream. But if he wasn't lost in his dream, he wouldn't have any reason to hurt everyone.

Are there people who understand everyone but also have reasons to hurt everyone?

Yes, there are. For example, fantasy companions.

When Xiaoxian and Xiaoze chose to leave yesterday, everyone, through Xiaoxian's guidance, had already understood the extremely contradictory psychology of the other fantasy companions besides Mario.

Compared to everyone else in the apartment, they were the ones truly immersed in their dreams.

The six boys in the apartment, except for Zhanbo, all have their own imaginary partners. Abandoning the innocent Mario, Xiaoze, Mufeng, and Xiaoxian in a suit leave together to enjoy their last dream time.

"So the situation is now quite clear: a classic choice between two options."

Youyou sighed, "Speaking of which, doesn't anyone among us know who Nanfeng and Zhang Wei's imaginary partner really is?"

Mario and Wanyu shook their heads repeatedly, and then they looked at Xiaoxian.

The reason everyone knew that Nanfeng and Zhang Wei had a fantasy partner was because they heard it from Teacher Zeng during the few days that Laura was there.

Seeing this, Zeng Xiaoxian shook his head in bewilderment: "I only know that they have fantasy partners, but what do their fantasy partners actually look like... I really don't know."

Actually, he had only overheard the two talking about fantasy partners by chance, but no matter how he asked them, they refused to talk about it.

Although I was very curious, I didn't ask any more questions since they didn't want to say more.

After all, he never imagined that one of these two fantasy companions, whom they were unwilling to mention, would become a serial killer in the dream world.

"Oh dear, Teacher Zeng, you're really lame."

Youyou, looking troubled, rested her head on her hand and asked, "So what should we do now?"

Wanyu patted her hand and comforted her, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether we know what Nanfeng and Zhang Wei's imaginary partners look like or not. Anyway, if the murderer really wanted to attack us, he wouldn't show his true face to us."

Wan Yu sighed with difficulty: "What we should be thinking about now is how to deal with an opponent who is ever-changing and knows us very well."

"Let me think, let me think..." Zeng Xiaoxian closed his eyes, pounded his head, and tried to calm himself down.

Although his CPU isn't very good at handling unexpected events, Xiaoxian is quite confident in his intelligence if he has prepared a way to think about how to handle a situation.

After all, I am a graduate of Jiaotong University with dual master's degrees in history and philosophy.

After careful consideration, Xiao Xian opened his eyes and carefully instructed, "First of all, we must not let anyone else know that Yi Fei is missing, otherwise the whole Wudang Mountain will be in big trouble."

"Youyou, we made too much of a commotion when we were looking for Yifei. You and Wanyu will use your identities as one of the Seven Heroes of Wudang to figure out how to deal with the aftermath."

"You two need to maintain the stability of Wudang Mountain by using Yifei's intimidation before everyone realizes that Yifei has disappeared. This way, Mario and I can find Xiao Nanfeng, who may have already gone up the mountain, as quickly as possible."

"Once Mario and I find Nanfeng, the four of us will meet at the Zhenwu Hall, and then we'll all quickly get away from this troublesome place and take little Nanfeng to a deserted place."

Zeng Xiaoxian said with certainty, "That murderer just wants the dream to last longer, so he can't hurt Xiao Nanfeng, but he also doesn't want us to wake Nanfeng from her beautiful dream."

"As long as we find a way to let him know that we took Nanfeng with us before we leave, he will definitely follow us."

He revealed a wicked smile: "We can go to a deserted mountain and set up all sorts of traps to wait for him to walk into our trap. The four of us can wait in comfort and take advantage of the numbers. No matter how capable this murderer is, he will not be able to escape."

"My brother Xian will pamper him then, hehehehe..."

Youyou patted Zeng Xiaoxian on the shoulder: "Teacher Zeng, please tone it down a bit. We are the upright people."

"oh."

Zeng Xiaoxian's smile faded, and he became serious: "So, what do you guys think of my plan?"

After thinking for a while, Wan Yu and the other two nodded in agreement.

They knew that Teacher Zeng's method might not be the best, but they had already wasted too much time searching for Yifei, and with Yifei's birthday party fast approaching, they didn't have time to carefully consider a perfect plan.

However, it was truly beyond Wanyu and Youyou's expectations that Teacher Zeng could come up with a highly feasible plan in such a short time.

Surprisingly, Teacher Zeng is quite reliable when Yifei and Nanfeng are not around.

"Great, let's do it that way."

Xiao Xian said in a deep voice, "There is one more thing everyone should pay attention to. The four of us should split into two groups as we just did. No one should be left alone, otherwise we may be killed by the killer in the same way."

"Youyou, Wanyu, if you find either me or Mario coming to you during your operation, then he is definitely an imposter."

"When the time comes, just launch a counter-ambush. If the ambush fails, shout for help. He has killed so many people, there are quite a few who want to kill him too."

"Of course, if Mario and I only encountered one of you two, we would have done the same."

"Understood."

Wanyu and Youyou nodded repeatedly.

The four split into two groups according to their small plan. Xiao Xian and Mario pretended that nothing had happened and went to look for Xiao Nanfeng.

However, the two hadn't gone far when Mario suddenly clutched his stomach and started wriggling uncontrollably: "Teacher Zeng, I need to go to the toilet."

"No way."

Xiao Xian first looked embarrassed, then stared at Mario in disbelief.

His eyebrows shot up: "Mario... you're a fantasy companion, and a game character at that. Do you need to go to the bathroom in the dream world?"

"Is there a problem?"

Mario looked bewildered: "Don't your imaginary companions need to go to the toilet?"

"Our fantasy companions are just ordinary people, and of course they still need to go to the toilet."

Zeng Xiaoxian said speechlessly, "But who would suddenly add a toilet-going setting to a game character?"

Mario replied matter-of-factly, "But Guan Gu will."

Zeng Xiaoxian: ...

Is Guan Gu really that perverted?

Mario was still frantically wiggling his butt: "Teacher Zeng, I really can't hold on much longer."

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you to the outhouse. I'll wait for you outside."

Although Xiaoxian was puzzled, he agreed to Mario's request without saying a word.

Ever since that time he almost choked to death in the men's clothing store, he has become particularly empathetic to other people's requests to use the restroom.

The two turned several corners and arrived at the outhouse. Mario rushed in without saying a word.

Zeng Xiaoxian stood outside, waiting idly. Just as he was wondering how Mario, the game character, should go to the toilet, he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps.

He didn't even have time to turn his head to see what was happening. He only felt a pain in the back of his neck, his vision went black, and he passed out.

Unconscious Zeng Xiaoxian fell straight to the ground, but fortunately a pair of large men's hands caught him in time, preventing his face from hitting the ground hard and making too much noise.

A moment later, a gentle voice seemed to whisper softly in the wind.

"Feel sorry."

……

When Mario came out of the outhouse, Xiaoxian was still standing outside waiting for him, looking bored.

Before Mario could say anything, Xiaoxian had already turned and left.

"Let's go, we need to get down to business."

"oh."

Mario kept up with Xiaoxian while tying his overalls on.

The two thought it would be difficult to find a child in such a large place as Wudang Mountain, but the result was quite the opposite.

A child who can freely enter and leave the Zhenwu Hall and openly present pheasants and mushrooms as birthday gifts to Master Zhang clearly has a more complex relationship with Wudang.

In addition, Xiao Nanfeng's sharp tongue and sarcastic remarks left a deep impression on many Wudang disciples.

Following the guidance of the Wudang disciples, the two searched all the way and soon found Nanfeng.

At that moment, Nanfeng was leaning against the corner of the wall, holding a painting with a joyful expression and laughing heartily.

Beside him, a man dressed as a ninja, wearing black-rimmed glasses that seemed out of place with his surroundings, was pointing at the painting in Nanfeng's hand and muttering to himself.

"Guan Gu?"

Xiaoxian and Mario both exclaimed in surprise.

Faced with Xiaoxian and Mario's shouts, Guangu looked up indifferently and said calmly, "I know I'm famous, and I know you all like my comics."

"But whether you want my autograph or a hug, please line up first."

Xiaoxian pursed his lips upon hearing this. He could tell from what Guangu was saying that he was still lost in his daydream.

Xiao Xian stared at Guangu warily; he clearly hadn't expected Guangu to appear at this moment.

I don't know if this variable will ruin my plans.

Mario didn't care about any of that; he abandoned Xiaoxian and ran straight towards Guangu.

"Guan Gu~~~"

Under Guan Gu's terrified gaze, Mario spread his arms and pounced on Guan Gu.

His round, chubby body, weighing an unknown number of kilograms, pressed directly onto the frail Guan Gu.

Click.

A sound similar to a herniated disc was heard.

Guan Gu stared wide-eyed in pain as he was pushed back by Mario's belly, eventually embedding himself in the wall behind him.

boom,

Suddenly the wall shook violently, dust flew everywhere, and Xiao Nanfeng was so frightened that she quickly packed up the scroll and ran away.

Click.

A faint, crisp sound came again, and Guan Gu's protruding lumbar disc was forcefully pushed back into place by the wall.

Guan Gu stared blankly at the ground with his mouth agape. He looked like a fish stranded on a beach by the waves, trying to breathe in vain.

"oh oh……"

Mario got off Guan Gu, looking embarrassed. He scratched his head and muttered under his breath, "This wall is really bad quality."

"hehe."

Xiao Xian clutched his forehead in anguish, and even he couldn't help but feel sad for Guangu in this situation.

Mario saw that Guan Gu's eyes were glazed over and he was foaming at the mouth, so he nervously waved his hand in front of Guan Gu.

"Guan Gu, are you alright?"

"Guan Gu?"

"Guan Gu?"

Seeing that Guan Gu was ignoring him, Mario reached out and tried to pull Guan Gu off the wall.

Only then did Guan Gu seem to realize what was happening before his eyes.

Intense pain overwhelmed Guan Gu.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

I'm coming
