Apartment from Hell Chapter 12 (1/2)

Chapter 12 – The Truth

Li Yin is still not clear on what is going on right now. By the time his body reaches the edge of the riverbank, he is already more than ten meters above the ground!

If he falls from this height…

But he cannot hesitate!

He grabs the rope tightly, steps onto the riverbank and abruptly jumps down.

It is also at this exact moment that giant woman’s mouth suddenly closes. Then her incomparably t.i.tanic head also dissolves into stream of wispy smoke, leaving no traces behind.

Li Yin’s body hits the ground. Since the ground beneath him is completely covered with damp gra.s.s and further beneath the gra.s.s is only dirt, he did not suffer any serious injuries. Still, he feels heart-piercing agony surging through his aching body.

But seeing that enormous head was such a bizarre and horrifying scene that Li Yin already completely forgets about the pain.

“Li…Li Yin…”

Having lived in the apartment for three years, the fact that Ye Kexin is still alive today is naturally indicative that she has seen many strange, unexplainable sights, so by now she is already numb to them. On the other hand, Li Yin is extremely terrified. This kind of exaggeratedly horrifying scene makes him feel as though a bone-chilling cold has descended over his entire being.

“We… need to stay in such a horrifying village… for an entire month?”

Li Yin’s brain is completely blank at this moment.

Although he has predicted many kinds of scenarios, but the actual situation has far exceeded his estimations!

“Kexin…” At this time, Li Yin’s body is completely covered in water, but he does not know what to do next.

Only one third of the month has pa.s.sed. Just how… should they endure the rest?

And what now? What should they do next?

“I was too naïve. I believed that I was quite experienced after living in the apartment for a year. But when I compare myself to Xia Yuan, I am still too incompetent.”

Kexin sighs and says, “Leave it be, Li Yin. It doesn’t matter as long as you’re still alive. Let’s leave first…”

“Shoutian is dead.”

After Kexin hears Li Yin say this sentence, her heart instantly sinks.

“He… He is dead?”

“Yes. He was also in the water just now.”

“How did that happen…” Ye Kexin lowers her head, feeling a bitter pain in her heart.

Throughout these three years, so many residents have died around Kexin that she is almost apathetic. Last time, she barely escaped from death after much suffering together with Shoutian. Who would imagine that this time…

But Kexin did not shed any tears. It is not her first time experiencing this kind of thing. After entering that apartment, her tears have already dried from crying excessively.

“But… At least you’re still alive, Li Yin.” Kexin helps him up and says, “We have to help each other to survive through this month! Yeah, there is just a bit over two weeks before we can leave this Village of Tranquil Water. ”

There are still two more weeks…

“There aren’t any places that are safe.”

Li Yin understands this point well.

This Village of Tranquil Water… There will not exist any place that will let them spend this month in peace! In the following days, these kind of otherwordly situations will almost certainly occur continuously.

This ‘Bing Er’… What exactly will satisfy her? Why does she want to kill even Shoutian and himself? Hengyan, is he still alive? Unfortunately, the chance of bad news exceeds that of good news.

If Bing Er’s objective is to take revenge on the villagers who hurt her, then there is no reason for her to come after him as well. Thus, it can only be a.s.sumed that she has become a malicious ghost that kills indistinguishably.

Then… what about Ah Xiu?

Perhaps Bing Er will not lay her hands on Ah Xiu?

This deduction is highly probable. Then if they show kindness to Ah Xiu, is it possible that they can escape death?

“Let’s go back to Ah Xiu’s house.”

At this moment, this is his only choice.

No matter how dangerous she is, as of now he can only rely Ah Xiu, his only saving grace.

The two of them return to Ah Xiu’s house. When they knock on the door, they hear Ah Xiu’s voice ask vigilantly, “Who is that?”

“It’s us.” Li Yin says weakly, “Miss Ah Xiu… Please open the door.”

When Ah Xiu opens the door, Li Yin peeks into the house and spots a person lying in the room.

It is Liang Renbin.

At this moment, his tongue has already been cut off. Lying on the ground with his body completely soaked in water, he should definitely be dead,

“Ah, I let you guys see that.” Ah Xiu’s expression is completely indifferent. “Whatever, you already know anyway. I was just cutting off his tongue.”

“Ah Xiu…” Li Yin does not dare to offend her so he could only say, “Please stop. Can you think of any way to communicate with Bing Er and ask her to stop killing people…”

“Shut up!” Ah Xiu says coldly, “What qualification do you have to say the name ‘Bing Er’ ?”

“You…”

“Although I don’t understand why Sister Bing Er took action against you guys, she must have her reasons for doing so,” she says with a frigid smile, “Alright, come on in. You can continue staying here. But don’t forget to report those things! Otherwise why would I house you guys?”

Insane…

This woman has gone insane for sure!

But what can they do even if she has gone insane? This crazy woman is their only hope at staying alive in this Village of Tranquil Water.

The next day… The disappearance of Renbin, Ah Wu and the other people evokes a huge disturbance in the village. Although there have been people who went missing in past years, there are just way too many people who have disappeared this year! Moreover, both the elder’s grandson and granddaughter are missing!

However, even though more and more people suspect Ah Xiu, no one dares to challenge her.

The reason is simple. Since the rumours of ghostly hauntings have already spread widely and have ingrained into the hearts of many people, then wouldn’t hurting Ah Xiu who is closest to Bing Er be equivalent to courting death?

After this day, once the villagers spott Bing Er, they will all take a detour to avoid her out of fear. No one dares to speak anything bad about her. Moreover a lot of people fawn over her instead, sending a lot of food to her and some even helping her to water her plants and cultivate her land.

However, in the following days, it is uncannily quiet. No strange situations happened.
