Chapter 668: Chapter 5: 7 Rules

Dai Lin’s phone rang too.

Of course, no one would take notice of his presence because of it.

Everyone would just hear their own phone ringing.

"Open the curtains... Open the curtains..."

It was like a cursed voice!

Dai Lin recalled what Hei Dongxie had mentioned... the seven rules stipulated by the apartment Blood Letter Task:

The first, never open the curtains for anyone, neither should you open the curtains in any other area of the apartment.

The second, do not leave the apartment you are in before midnight tonight.

The third, do not trust anyone’s words within the apartment.

The fourth, be wary of those who tell you they dreamed about cats last night.

The fifth, if you see a black person eating humans, pretend you did not see anything.

The sixth, if someone cannot distinguish between black and red, flee from their side as fast as possible.

The seventh, do not try to discover what is outside the curtains using any means other than opening them due to curiosity.

These rules were all quite perplexing.

People who dreamed about cats last night...

People who cannot distinguish black from red...

A black person eating humans...

Each of these rules seemed quite cryptic and unfathomable.

Dreaming about cats... What did that imply?

Dai Lin had already taken hair from everyone in the room and read their memories as soon as he could, so he was certain... no one here had dreamed about cats, at least they had no memories of dreaming about cats, and they could distinguish black from red.

A black person eating humans... Could it be the Quasi-curse spirit? But then again, for someone who cannot distinguish black from red, wouldn’t it just be "a red person" eating humans?

Just in case, Dai Lin also carefully recalled whether he himself had dreamed about cats. When he had fainted and was in a blurry state of consciousness earlier, he was sure he had not dreamed.

As for distinguishing black from red, that was simpler - by looking at the blood in his own veins, as long as the blood did not appear black to him, it was fine. And indeed, the hair of everyone appeared black to him, which naturally should not be a problem.

However...

There was one issue.

Dai Lin had to pay special attention to this.

And that was... he could only read the memories of humans. Those non-humans... they were probably better at deception, possibly making him read false memories.

What if a "person" could not distinguish black from red but lied about it?

If they simply confused black for red... then seeing red and calling it black and vice versa, there would absolutely be no way to tell. As for whether they dreamed about cats, hiding that would be even more difficult.

Finding out the hidden "non-humans" would not be so easy.

Dai Lin looked toward the curtains.

Unable to distinguish black from red, dreaming about cats, the "black person" who eats humans... must be the Quasi-curse spirit currently residing in the apartment. But the question remained, why should the curtains not be opened?

Obviously, the curtains themselves were not Cursed Objects; they couldn’t prevent a Quasi-curse spirit from entering. Moreover, according to the apartment Blood Letter Rules, it was highly likely that the Quasi-curse spirit had already entered the apartment.

"So..."

Dai Lin gazed at the curtains.

Was it related to the survival tip of the Blood Letter Task? Or?

"What a bunch of junk calls." Hei Dongxie hung up the phone and said, "Just block the number."

Subsequently, Lin Yunfen pretended to be casual as she asked, "Um, young man, I just want to ask you a few questions. First of all... did you dream of... cats last night?"

To not make her question seem out of the blue, she added another line, "Um, I think people who like meow stars are good people."

"I don’t really like cats." Nie Yuan shook his head and said, "My ex-girlfriend was a cat and dog god disciple. In her eyes, I was less than the cats she kept."

"Huh???"

"I didn’t dream about cats."

Hei Dongxie coughed lightly.

"Let’s not talk about the cat and dog god stuff... Are you really saying you didn’t dream about cats, or are you just saying that out of spite?"

This was quite important; Hei Dongxie lacked Dai Lin’s ability to read memories from hair, so of course, he needed a clear answer.

"Is this question that important?" Nie Yuan started to get annoyed, "Fine, then I dreamed about it, okay?"

Hei Dongxie rubbed his chin, looked back at the two women, then turned his head and said, "This is very important, please answer truthfully. As long as you cooperate with our live streaming event, we will give you a reward... Of course, you can choose cash if you prefer."

"How should I answer to get a reward? Is it during the live stream that I need to answer? No problem, just tell me how you want me to answer."

Hei Dongxie pinched his nose, suppressing the impulse to use violence, and said, "I need you to tell the truth."

Nie Yuan looked confused, just about to say something, when Dai Lin applied more psychic influence over him.

There was no helping it, he didn’t dare strengthen it too much, otherwise this homebody might suffer from the Abyss Invasion Curse. Although Dai Lin had already obtained the memory, he couldn’t be sure whether it was a fake memory from a ghost, so it was best to have him recount it, and then observe him again.

"I’ve never dreamt anything related to cats."

Nie Yuan gave this answer.

"Good... then... let me ask you another question." Hei Dongxie took out a black lighter and asked, "Tell me, what color is this lighter?"

Nie Yuan immediately answered, "It’s black... no, wait, is this some kind of trick question?"

"It’s not. Just tell me the color you see."

"I’m not color blind, I can be sure of that."

Hei Dongxie nodded, looking at the Sakuragi Hanamichi poster on the wall of Nie Yuan’s room: "In your eyes, what color is his hair?"

Nie Yuan quickly answered, "Red. Why are you asking this? I told you, I’m not color blind."

It seemed there was no problem.

Hei Dongxie nodded and said, "Well, just to be on the safe side, I’ll ask, in your memory, is there anyone among your neighbors who cannot distinguish between black and red?"

"Neighbor?"

"That’s right."

"I’ve heard of red-green color blindness, but red-black?"

This strange statement baffled Nie Yuan for a moment.

"I don’t know if there is someone like that among my neighbors. I..."

Just then, suddenly, Lin Yunfang called out, "Dong, Dr. Dong, look quick!"

Hei Dongxie immediately followed Lin Yunfang’s shout.

Then, he saw...

A black silhouette appeared on the curtain!

These household curtains were rather thin, so it was possible to make out the outline of the shadow outside the curtain!

A black... person!

"It’s here?"

A Quasi-Curse Spirit!

Hei Dongxie involuntarily swallowed, not daring to move carelessly.

And Dai Lin’s Devil’s Eye began to operate.

Then...

The shadow kept getting closer to the curtain!

Then, the power of the Devil’s Eye burst through the curtain in an instant, casting the Abyss Curse on the ghostly silhouette outside.

Even if it was a Quasi-Cursed Spirit...

Dai Lin refused to believe that a Demon Cursed Item at full power would be ineffective!

Soon...

The shadowy outline outside the curtain disappeared.

"How is this possible... this is the seventh floor..." Nie Yuan’s legs went soft from watching, he was only mentally influenced by the Devil’s Eye, his soul was still normal, so of course, he would feel fear just like any other person!

At that moment, Dai Lin felt an intense pain in his eyes.

The Quasi-Cursed Spirit... indeed terrifying!

Hei Dongxie, not knowing of Dai Lin’s presence, also began to tremble.

He grabbed Nie Yuan and shouted, "Don’t pull the curtains! Don’t pull them!"

Would the thing outside not come in... if you don’t pull the curtains?

That doesn’t make sense, does it?

Or is it simply... a restriction of the apartment?

Dai Lin and Hei Dongxie both pondered this question. However, the information they had at the moment did not provide an answer.

Suddenly, Dai Lin thought...

What if it’s not just here?

In other places, in rooms where the curtains had been opened, would the black ghostly shadows come in? If so, what should be done?
