Chapter 48 Ghost Story Apartment 21
  Ah Ying withdrew her gaze that kept sizing up Xie Ning, and the bad signs that were rising in her heart were instantly extinguished.

"I want to live a little longer."

She looked at Xie Ning eagerly, and then looked greedily at the unconscious Cannian on the rooftop.

"The rest of these are all mine!"

Early morning of the third day.

"What, Wang Ran is dead?"

Meng Yiyi, Jiang Yuan and Zhao Pingjiang woke up early in the morning and rushed to the first floor to check whether the big hole from yesterday had been restored.

The three of them took the elevator to the first floor together. The first thing they saw was the clean and smooth floor. The entire first floor had long been restored to like new.

Just like when everyone first arrived.

There is no sign of burning, but I don't know if the cave under the floor is still there.

As expected, they were not too surprised.

However, when the three of them saw Xie Ning in the restaurant and the strange woman beside her, they all looked surprised.

Xie Ning stayed on the first floor all night yesterday, not only to try his luck to see if he could encounter other strange creatures, but also to see how the apartment was restored to its original state.

I basically had no sleep all night, but I didn’t feel tired at all.

The moment the time on the restaurant clock crossed four o'clock, in the blink of an eye, the potholes on the ground disappeared and the apartment returned to its previous appearance.

The unknown magical power made Xie Ning curious and fearful at the same time.

Feeling someone approaching, Xie Ning came back to his senses.

"What a coincidence, the landlord is here too!"

Meng Yiyi spoke in surprise, walked to Xie Ning, and observed the beautiful young woman with flowing long hair next to her, very curious.

"Who is this person?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Aying and was attracted by the sparkling look in her eyes, and her fair face turned red.

Meng Yiyi murmured unconsciously: "It's so beautiful."

"Aying."

Xie Ning's cold voice woke up Meng Yiyi and answered her question, "She is also a tenant of the apartment."

"You should have seen her before." She did not explain Aying's origin in detail.

Meng Yiyi instantly recalled the mysterious woman who briefly appeared on the first day of the ghost story convention.

After one night, Ying's body remained as usual, looking more and more like an ordinary person, at least on the surface.

Xie Ning needs her to help him with things, but he can't hide her all the time. Now it's rare for Ah Ying to come out for some air, so she can't help but make a fuss. The bewitching power in her body doesn't distinguish between men and women.

Xie Ning cast a warning look before Ah Ying restrained herself.

"I want to tell you some bad news. Wang Ran is dead."

Her calm voice was like a thunder, causing their minds that had been adjusted overnight to become chaotic again.

"How did you die?"

Meng Yiyi is not much older than Xie Ning, but her adaptability is much better now than before.

She was more curious at the moment about how he died, the only way they could try to avoid it.

"I don't know yet. When I saw him, he was no longer alive. I'm telling you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared."

Xie Ning said, raising his eyes and looking coldly at the elevator entrance.

Wang Ran, wearing a down jacket, scarf and hat, wrapped himself tightly, walked out of the elevator.

The temperature in the misty world is a little colder than the outside world, but it is autumn at best. It is only about ten or twenty degrees during the day, and it is not even time to wear down jackets.

This is too exaggerated.

But more than this, Zhao Pingjiang glanced at the landlord suspiciously. Didn't she say that Wang Ran was dead?
  Wang Ran was no different from usual except that his face was pale and his expression was extremely haggard. He also greeted everyone as before: "Good morning, it's great to have a safe day again."

"What did you eat this morning?"

Several people in the hall had different expressions. With Xie Ning's vaccination, no one paid much attention to him.

Wang Ran didn't react, just lowered his head and remained silent.

Several people consciously avoided Wang Ran and returned to their rooms after a simple meal.

Only Zhao Pingjiang still remembered the injured Nie Fangyu and took some food to visit him.

Xie Ning remembered Bai Jian's instructions and took Aying with him to check on Nie Fangyu's condition.

Wang Ran frowned and walked at the back.

"How is Nie Fangyu doing?"

This question was asked by Wang Ran. He had not seen him early this morning and guessed that something had happened to him.

Zhao Pingjiang felt a little melancholy, "I suffered a relatively serious injury. If I can reduce the fever and inflammation and wait until the seventh day to return to the real world, I should be fine."

Wang Ran seemed a little touched when he heard this.

What about him, can he still return to reality like this?

Will it recover after going back?
  He was deep in thought, while taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he lifted up his sleeves and stared at the unsightly corpse spots on it with a painful expression.

Yesterday, he fled back to the apartment alone. In a panic, he just wanted to escape back to the room. He didn't even wait for the elevator and ran up four flights of stairs in one breath.

As a result, I happened to bump into an outsider who had already sneaked into the apartment.

The outsider was covered in darkness, hiding at the junction between the staircase corner and the corridor. It already had a human-like figure. If it lay flat on the ground, it would probably only be seen as a shadow.

In the silent corridor, Wang Ran didn't even have time to react. The outsider flashed in front of him instantly, face to face with him, and then everything went dark before his eyes.

He felt as if everything was pitch black in front of him, the air seemed to be sucked out, and his whole body seemed to be stuffed into a large blender, and all the bones in his body seemed to be crushed.

During the struggle, he touched his face, feeling cold and sticky like some kind of glue covering it.

He kept tearing things off his face, twisting and struggling, opening his mouth wide, desperately trying to breathe.

At that moment, the cold, smooth and sticky substance continued to pour from his mouth.

A strong desire to survive, unwillingness and anger took over. He thought, since the thing couldn't be torn off, he would swallow it.

But he died anyway.

It took him a long time to accept the reality.

In Wang Ran's brief memory, he had already arrived in Nie Fangyu's room.

He looked very weak, so he relied on Zhao Pingjiang to feed him some food, and managed to look better. He ate in a daze, drank the medicine and fell asleep again.

Xie Ning took advantage of Zhao Pingjiang to change his dressing and carefully observed his wounds.

On Nie Fangyu's arm, there were several dense blood holes of different sizes that had turned black and purple. Some of the wounds were so deep that the bones were visible. They were indeed seriously injured.

It's really not easy to hold a breath with just the ordinary medicine in the apartment.

In addition to the smell of medicine, there is also a faint rusty smell of blood and rot in the air.

Xie Ning glanced at Wang Ran.

If Nie Fangyu dies, it's hard to say whether he will become the next Wang Ran.

Although there seems to be no threat to Wang Ran so far, something will happen if the security is not kept intact.

Xie Ning rubbed his head, it was really troublesome.

She sighed and looked down at the person on the bed, "I hope he can survive it."

Otherwise, if they become deceitful, they can only be killed.
