Apartment from Hell Chapter 10 (2/2)

Very soon, he begins to notice… that he seems to be walking in circles around the same place. The scenery around him barely underwent any changes at all. The only reason he failed to notice this at the start is simply because from the very beginning, this forest is filled everywhere with trees and gra.s.s.

Looking at this scene now, it is truly very ominous.

At this time, he hears footsteps behind him. Luo Hengyan turns to look – It is them again!

And that bizarre scene repeats itself once more…

“Renbin…” The person who is asking at this point changes to Ah Wu, “Ah Xiu…Has she undergone any weird changes recently?”

At that moment, Luo Hengyan feels as though the unnaturalness of this place is becoming more and more intense.

“What do you mean? Your words, just what…” Renbin’s expression is still one of suspicion, as though he hasn’t been asked this exact same question twice before at all.

And even more bizarrely, Ah Wu continues to say the same words Song Tian and Ge Ling said before, “Is Ah Xiu doing something?”

“What nonsense are you spouting?! What do you think Ah Xiu has done?”

“She… Is it possible that she knows some kind of sorcery? There’s always a strange feeling around her. I, I suspect she knows how to summon ghosts. Otherwise, why is it such a coincidence that every time she curses us during Li Bing’s commemoration day, those curses always come true? You see, Uncle Haotian and Ah Qin have both disappeared…”

“Shut up!”

“I think she is abnormal! She always seems so violently murderous! Everyday, all she thinks about is how to get revenge on us. For Li Bing, I am afraid she can do anything! That’s right, aren’t there rumours about some voodoo master? Perhaps she’s that kind of person? Or maybe she is summoning pen spirits or something like that.”

Exactly the same! It is as though Ah Wu has been possessed by Song Tian and Ge Ling.

Liang Renbin loses his temper once again, shoots forward like an arrow and aims a fist towards Ah Wu! There is a lot of force behind this punch that flips Ah Wu off his feet onto the ground. His nose has even started bleeding.

Just now, it was Ah Wu who restrained Liang Renbin but now…he is the one who got punched instead.

Following that, Liang Renbin straddles Ah Wu beneath him, aiming punch after punch at his face!

“Stop…stop it…” Luo Hengyan wants to go forward to stop them but his feet feel as heavy as though they had become filled with lead.

Stop…

Please stop…!

The scene happening before his eyes is akin to a shadowy spiral. He feels as though his body is being sucked into this spiral.

At this moment, Li Yin and Qin Shoutian who discovered Luo Hengyan’s disappearance are searching everywhere for him.

“Hengyan! Hengyan! Luo Hengyan!” Li Yin calls out his name repeatedly, hoping that he can hear him. But no matter how they search, there is no trace of him.

Just then, Li Yin suddenly feels as though someone has approached him from behind and hurriedly turns his head.

What enters his gaze is Ah Xiu!

“Ah…Ah Xiu, you…”

“Who are you all searching for?” Ah Xiu smiles and says. “Mr Luo has disappeared?”

“That’s, that’s correct…” Li Yin nods. “He was just sleeping in the outer room but…now…”

“He’ll be fine. I think Mr Luo has probably gone somewhere for a walk.”

There is not a single hint of anxiety on Ah Xiu’s face, as she continues talking casually with a smile. But this sends a s.h.i.+ver down Li Yin’s spine. She, just what…

“What is it? Mr Li Yin?” Step by step, Ah Xiu comes closer to him as Li Yin subconsciously begins to retreat.

“You…” Li Yin’s expression is heavily coloured by suspicion as he asks, “Who exactly are you?”

Xia Yuan told him that humans will not be factored into these supernatural, eerie scenarios.

Towards this, Li Yin doesn’t have any qualms.

But…

Is Ah Xiu really a human?

Is there any evidence that can prove that she is a human being?

Ah Xiu continues talking without answering the question, “This village, this Village of Tranquil Water develops by relying on the excellent mountain ranges and water source of the Black Crow Mountain. And even in this big mountain, we can still live self-sustainably. My parents and Sister Bing Er’s parents worked hard to build and develop this village. Did you know that, Mr. Li Yin? It was truly difficult to establish a village like this. I had to dig soil, carry water and wake up every day the moment the sun rises since the day I was born. For me, this mountain, this water are unerasable memories. Although those times were hard, they were the best and the most precious memories that Sister Bing Er and I share. And as farmers, we deeply believe that hard work will always bring happiness.”

“Miss…Miss Ah Xiu…”

“But now I truly hope that this village will be destroyed. Will hard work truly bring happiness? It’s all lies. Although Sister Bing Er and her mother contributed so much to the development of this village, their pain is ignored because of the villagers’ arrogant standards. They kicked Sister down to the abyss of h.e.l.l, and even pushed her to her death…”

“Stop, stop talking… Miss Ah Xiu…”

“So what if she’s become a ghost?” Ah Xiu’s face suddenly twists and her tone becomes more and more vicious. She says, “Even when Sister Bing Er turns into a raging spirit, she is still more beautiful than those villagers!”

“No… It is not like this…” Sweat continuously pours down from Li Yin’s forehead. But he still continues retreating as he says, “You don’t know at all… You don’t understand what true h.e.l.l is… Do you know what the true h.e.l.l is like? It is truly…terrifying…”

Luo Hengyan treads through the dark forest.

Liang Renbin is walking in front of him.

“Renbin…” Even as those words just left his mouth, Luo Hengyan feels an incomparably bizarre sensation, but he continues speaking expressionlessly. “Ah Xiu…Has she undergone any weird changes recently?”

This time… It has become he himself!

So it seems… he has no choice in this matter. He spoke those words against his will!

After saying words like “voodoo master” and “pen spirit”, Liang Renbin turns around, his gaze twisting into a death glare. He rushes up, pushes Luo Hengyan to the ground, waves his fists and punches him.

Luo Hengyan suddenly realizes just what is giving him an unnatural feeling…

It is because in every cycle of that conversation…

One of the five people will have mysteriously disappeared.

The first person who spoke was Song Tian. After he disappeared, it became Ge Ling. And after her, it was Ah Wu.

But now, Ah Wu also disappeared! But to include him as well, he could only feel a sense of foreboding!

Where have they all disappeared to?

Soon, he gets his answer.

In front of his eyes, it is no longer Liang Renbin who is. .h.i.tting him. Instead, it is… a woman dressed in white whose body is about few meters tall.

When that woman opens her mouth, her gaping lips actually extends to about two meters long!

Inside of her mouth… a huge amount of water has acc.u.mulated! Song Tian, Ge Ling, Ah Wu and Liang Renbin, the four of them are struggling desperately in that water.

The mouth of this enormous woman gets closer and closer to Luo Hengyan…
