Demon Apartment - Chapter 31 - Entering... the Fourth Floor!

At this moment, the silence seemed to inflict endless psychological torment.

Because they all knew very well that this might just be the calm before the storm. The Blood Letter Task had already been underway for almost half the time. They were ready to face the worst at any moment.

“Could it be… they really have?”

At this point, Zhao Long had completely abandoned the idea of going to the fourth floor. The two police officers went to the fourth floor, and then vanished without a trace?

This truly sent chills down his spine!

“We…” Zhao Long found himself stuttering more and more: “We can’t go to the fourth floor! Our skills can’t possibly be better than the police, right?”

However, Dong Ning opposed him: “I don’t think so. As residents, the Apartment restricts those dirty things from directly attacking us. The safe interval period after Ge Qi’s death means nothing to the police.”

Dong Xie also considered this point and agreed: “Yes, just like Ah Ning said, the life and death of the police cannot serve as our survival experience on the fourth floor.”

“Even so…”

For a moment, the atmosphere became intensely oppressive.

Throughout Building 3, every area that could be explored had been looked over. The only place left unexplored was the fourth floor! The photos they found led them to speculate that the Old man holding the black cat in the pictures was likely a resident who died on the fourth floor of Building 3!

But knowing this did nothing to help their current predicament!

“I’ve thought it over carefully.” Zhao Long still shook his head and said, “Given the current situation, going to the fourth floor is too dangerous. Feng Yu went there, and how long did it take before…”

“Zhao Long,” Dong Ning pointed to the watch on her wrist, reminding him of something: “Do you think the more time passes, the more favorable it becomes? The longer we drag it out, the more the Apartment’s restrictions will weaken. Especially by 5 a.m., it will be even more so. As long as we don’t return to the Apartment, the Blood Letter Task isn’t considered over. From here to the Apartment in the suburbs of K City, it would take about two hours. You should understand how dangerous this is for us, right?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Long snapped back to reality.

Yes… as time passes, it becomes increasingly dangerous!

Moreover, so much time had already passed, and if they continued to delay, the safe interval period after Ge Qi’s death would soon be over!

“We can’t keep delaying. We’re going to the fourth floor!”

Dong Ning finally made this conclusion.

At this moment, Dong Ning was also ready to risk it all. Without taking a chance, this Blood Letter Task would be impossible to survive. The fourth floor was the only place left unexplored, their last hope!

Not going to the fourth floor would offer no safety either! As time passed and the Apartment’s restrictions continued to weaken, would staying on other floors ensure survival?

Three hours remaining in the Blood Letter Task, plus two hours for the drive back to the Apartment! A total of five hours!

Enough time for the Evil Spirit to kill them dozens of times over!

Dong Xie always admired Ah Ning at times like these; she lived so transparently, and once she decided to do something, she would never easily change her mind!

Thus, he also looked at Zhao Long with a determined expression, showing his support for Ah Ning’s decision.

Going to the fourth floor definitely required taking Zhao Long along. Not only would it add strength, but Zhao Long’s survival experience was far richer than theirs. The probability of finding the final path to survival would greatly increase with the three of them united!

After weighing his options, Zhao Long had to admit that going to the fourth floor was the best choice.

This was the brutal Blood Letter Task!

Everyone who entered this Apartment had to endure this extremely cruel trial of hellish cycles. How many bones lay beneath that Apartment? But residents had no means to resist the Apartment; they could only abide by its rules.

“Fine, fine, fine!”

Zhao Long finally crushed all his inner hopes, clenched his fists, took a couple of deep breaths, and ultimately said, “Not going to the fourth floor means death, going to the fourth floor also means death, so let’s just do it!”

If they were to go to the fourth floor, they could only take the elevator. Residents had always avoided using the elevator during the Blood Letter Task, but now, there was clearly no other choice.

The three of them exited the room and began tiptoeing toward the elevator. Once in the corridor, the surroundings became darker. The three of them were almost huddled together, fearing something might suddenly emerge from the darkness.

At the elevator, the only source of light came from the elevator display.

“Hoo…” Zhao Long stood at the elevator, taking two or three deep breaths, and even began to reflect on his life.

As for Dong Xie, he didn’t think that much. Thinking about these things now was meaningless; he was eager to find some crucial clues on the fourth floor.

This was a path destined to lead to survival only after facing death!

“Ding-”

“Ding-”

The three of them entered the elevator almost simultaneously.

Then, Dong Xie pressed the button to go to the fourth floor.

This time, they had no choice!

The elevator began to ascend slowly and soon came to a stop.

Then, the elevator doors opened again!

Finally, they arrived at this forbidden place!

Dong Xie tightly held Dong Ning’s hand, while Zhao Long rolled up his sleeves, his hands repeatedly clenching and unclenching.

Outside the elevator… it appeared to be a normal hallway scene. None of the terrifying images they imagined appeared. In fact, this was what they feared most; if the Evil Spirit appeared at the elevator door and rushed in, they would be doomed.

“I’ll go first!”

Zhao Long, having survived two Blood Letter Tasks, couldn’t possibly let Dong Xie and Dong Ning take the lead. He stepped forward and entered… the fourth-floor hallway!

At that moment, he felt his whole body turn cold. He thought of the tombstone he had chosen beside his parents’ shared grave. If he died here, there wouldn’t even be a body left.

Then, Dong Xie and Dong Ning also stepped out!

The elevator doors slowly closed behind them!

The hallway plunged into darkness once more.

At this moment, the three of them were terrified to the extreme. They should have taken Ge Qi’s lighter!

They slowly stepped forward and began to move!
