"Old man, you do me a favor?"

  "Even though you lost the game again, there's no doubt your skills have improved. Having a strong oppoo practice with is invaluable."

  Qin Nuo said tactfully.

  The old ndlord thought there was some truth to it and said, "Alright, what do you need?"

  "Do you have the tenant information from ten years ago, ba 2011?"

  "What do you hat for?"

  Qin Nuo didn't answer.

  The old ndlord pondered for a moment and said, "I do keep the tenant information every year."

  "But ten years ago... never mind, e by tomorrow. I'll look for it tonight."

  "Thank you, old man."

  Qin Nuo stood up to express his gratitude. Seeing the old man wave him off, eager to review the game, he wisely took his leave.

  As he reached the fourth floor, he suddenly heard a noise from upstairs, like something heavy hitting the ground.

  While Qin Nuo was still puzzled, the game annou sounded in his mind: "Pyer 'Cobra' has been hunted by the killer!"

  Qin Nuo was startled, quickly reag and rushing up to the fourth floor.

  In the corridor, Cobra's body was already lying on the ground, his head severed and rolled to the side.

  "How did it move so fast?"

  Qin Nuo frowned, walking over to che Cobra.

  Cobra turned into a cloud of gray mist and disappeared, clearly having respawned.

  "Is it hunting pyers randomly, or is there some pattern?" Qin Nuo pondered.

  "Let's head back first."

  Qin Nuo stood up, and as he turned, a blood eye appeared on the back of his right hand. The Blood-Eyed Ghost said in a deep voice, "It's still here!"

  Just as the words were spoken, Qin Nuo felt a strong killing i enveloping the corridor.

  The walls began to decay at a visible speed.

  Qin Nuo's expression ged, swiftly drawing out a machete, as a shadoeared out of nowhere in front of him.

  Before the Blood-Eyed Ghost could act, Qin Nuo's head was already flying off.

  Blood spttered on the walls, a vivid crimson!

  ...

  "Sister Rose, I've got enough snacks to st us five days. We shouldn't go out, and we'll definitely make it to the end of the game."

  Princess Yao Yao sat on the bed, lightly tapping her snacks, calg her pn, as she spoke to Bck Rose.

  "You're so... simple and cute."

  Bck Rose said with a forced smile, tying up her hair as she walked into the bathroom, "I'll take a shower first, you stay on the bed."

  "Okay." Princess Yao Yao nodded obediently.

  But at that moment, both of them heard the annou in their minds that pyer Cobra had been hunted.

  Less than two mier, the annouhat pyer Phantom had been hunted sounded!

  "Two pyers killed in a row!"

  Princess Yao Yao and Bck Rose were stunned.

  "Oh no, Phantom got killed too, doesn't he have one life left?" Princess Yao Yao said, c her mouth.

  Bck Rose furrowed her brows.

  Finally, she shook her head, "Those tretty much going to end up like Bck Bear and the others, exiting the instance."

  Phantom's few words had given Bck Rose a glimmer of hope for a turnaround.

  But now it seemed that in the face of the absolute difficulty of the hame, human intelligence was useless.

  Inside room 404.

  Qin Nuo appeared out of thin air, sitting on the bed.

  After a few seds of mental bnkness, he finally regained sciousness.

  "Did I just get killed like that?"

  Qin Nuo was bewildered.

  Even without extrag memories, he didn't know who the killer was that attacked him.

  In almost the blink of an eye, his head was gone!

  He didn't evehe face!

  "Did you see it, brother?"

  The Blood-Eyed Ghost was also speechless, "I hadn't even made a move, and you were already gone."

  "Ridiculously strong!"

  Qin Nuo sighed, standing up and heading to the desk.

  He saw the three names oebook, with one crossed out.

  "Last life, I identified Liu Meng, but the game is still ongoing, which means Liu Meng is cleared of suspi."

  The most suspicious one was ruled out.

  "The sed one is Xia Xinlu."

  As Qin Nuo crossed out the name, he also entered Xia Xinlu's name in the instaerface.

  Xia Xinlu.

  Although this girl's ic behavior didn't seem fake, there was still a possibility of suspi.

  People have two sides.

  A lunati have dual personalities.

  Who knows if beh a seemingly harmless exterior lies the personality of a killer?

  Of course, this could also be Qin Nuo's imagination from reading too many novels.

  "Pyer 'Cobra' has exited the game early, instanpletion failed!"

  The game annou sounded again, but Qin Nuo's expression remained unged, as this was expected.

  "Still, having four lives is impressive."

  Qin Nuo mused, taking out a life-saving straw doll from the toolbar, palm-sized, tied with straw, with two bck bean-like eyes, exuding a strong curse aura.

  "Use the life-saving straw doll!"

  Qin Nuo whispered.

  The sed, the straw doll moved on its own, climbing onto Qin Nuo's hand, burrowing into his palm, and disappearing.

  Qin Nuo looked at his palm, a hint of surprise on his face, "Is that how it works?"

  Feeling no disfort, Qin Nuo chose to rest instead of going out.

  Time recious for Qin Nuo too.

  If he got huhree times in one day due to recklessness, he'd have o cry.

  On the seventh day at noon, Qin Nuo left the room.

  The old ndlord should have results by now.

  At the front desk in the lobby, the old man was unusually not pying chess but lying on a lounge chair, humming a tune.

  "Old man, did you find it?" Qin Nuo asked directly.

  The old man tossed a yellowed, worn information book into Qin Nuo's hands.

  "Return it by this time tomorrow at the test."

  "No problem."

  Qin Nuo went to the vending mae, bought some food and drinks, returo his room, and opehe tenant information book, firming it was indeed from 2011.

  As he flipped through the pages, Qin Nuo gathered a lot of tenant identity information.

  At that time, Xiao Yuan's family of three, no... accurately speaking, a family of four, was still in room 301, with Little Yuan's Mom named Gao Xinran.

  The Fat Homebody Ghost also lived in 405, named Hai Wuming, a ret graduate and unemployed.

  Liu Ze from 406 was a stru worker doing manual bor.

  Liu Meng's family from 302 had parents who were ordinary office workers, and Liu Meng was in high school at the time.

  These were the tenant's information.

  It also recorded some matters outside of the tenants.

  Back then, this area was ied by the stru engineering quality supervisioment.

  Deemed unqualified, it was to be forcibly demolished, and the Bloodstained Apartment was among the unqualified, but the old ndlord and the tenants used some means to muddle through.

  Later, in June, a virus outbreak occurred iy, only transmittable through blood, with a mortality rate of 20% among the ied.

  "This should be the virus mentioned in Xia Xinlu's diary." Qin Nuo murmured, tinuing to read.

  Later, there was a self-narration by the old ndlord.

  "By act, we discovered two tenants in the apartment also ied with this virus, exhibiting identical symptoms."

  "I sealed off the entire apartment, intending to hand over the ied to the authorities, but the other tenants stopped me, leading to a heated argument. Someone proposed a bold idea, a terrifying idea..."

  "For various reasons, I ersuaded to let them proceed..."

  "But ter, we found that the girl was missing, and everyone searched every er of the apartment until we heard a dull thud from outside the building..."

  Qin Nuo took a deep breath and turo the st page.

  There was no more self-narration from the old ndlord.

  Instead, there were the names of the ied.

  Seeing the names, Qin Nuo held his breath.
