Yun Zhi shook her head and didn't think much. She walked into the lobby of Building 4 and first saw the security guard rules posted on the front.
【1. Please fulfill all the needs of the residents, don't get complaints.
2. Maintain neighborhood relations, protect the community environment.
3. There are no cats in Happy Garden Community. If you see one, please expel it immediately.
4. If you see a security guard in a red uniform, lower your head immediately. That is your superior; do not anger them.
5. Please preserve your body well】
Yun Zhi's gaze paused for a moment on the fifth rule.
"Preserve your body, could it be that..."
【Scary to think about, normally only corpses would say 'preserve', right? At most, 'protect' the body or something】
【So actually, are the players already dead, or is it destined that they will die?】
【Is this the difficulty of a three-star dungeon? Scaring people like this right from the start】
【Streamer, what did you think of?】
"Could it be..." Yun Zhi blinked, "The person who wrote these rules has a low level of education."
"That's true, if you come to be a security guard, you probably don't have much education." Yun Zhi nodded, confirming her thoughts.
【？】
【I'm lost, is that how you interpret it?】
After memorizing the five rules above, Yun Zhi then went upstairs.
Fortunately, although the buildings in Happy Garden Community were old, the elevator still worked normally.
Each building in Happy Garden Community has eighteen floors, with four households per floor; in theory, there would be seventy-two families.
But since the incident a year ago, many strange things have happened in succession.
In some homes, dogs suddenly went mad and bit a family to death; in others, entire families committed suicide together one night.
The corridor walls oozed blood, and at night there were eerie crying sounds and singing...
After these incidents increased, the residents here moved away one after another, and now only a few remain.
After entering the corridor, Yun Zhi discovered that there was almost no light; the walls had red palm prints and fingernail marks.
Looking closely, there were also crooked red writings saying things like 【Run fast】【Escape】【Go die】 and the like.
"Thump—"
"Thump—"
It was the sound of a ball bouncing on the ground. Suddenly, with a rolling sound, a spherical object rolled to Yun Zhi's feet. She looked down and came face to face with an old, rotting face.
"Hey, pick it up for me." A little boy's voice came from the other end of the corridor.
In the darkness, the little boy's body wobbled closer, stopping about five meters away.
In the dim light, Yun Zhi saw that the little boy's face was covered in chaotic knife cuts, as if slashed by some sharp instrument.
The wounds revealed bright red skin and flesh, rotting along the edges.
His hollow eyes looked toward Yun Zhi: "Hurry and help me pick it up. This is my grandma's head. If I don't pick it up quickly, my dad will be angry."
"Your grandma's... head?" Yun Zhi looked down again and saw that the round, rotting human head on the ground indeed had gray hair.
The corner of her mouth twitched.
Alright, alright, you really are your grandma's good grandson.
【Grandma's head, like a ball, kicked to the department store. The department store sells balls, what it sells is grandma's head...】
【What niche grotesque childhood toy is this?】
【So where can I buy one?（No）】
Perhaps annoyed by the long wait, the brat grew impatient. He tilted his head, his pale rotting face facing Yun Zhi: "Hey, why haven't you picked it up yet? I'm going to get angry!"
Even the human head on the ground began to open and close, making a harsh sound: "What's going on? Is it you who is bullying my grandson?"
That human head grinned, its expression ferocious, emitting a strong stench of decay.
"You're the new security guard in the community, aren't you? Believe it or not, I'll go complain about you right now!"
No wonder there's a brat; it turns out there are bratty parents. Yun Zhi suddenly realized.
She blinked, raised her foot and stepped on the old woman's head, smiling as she waved at the little boy: "What fun is there playing by yourself? How about we play ball together?"
The little boy hesitated, looking at Yun Zhi with a probing gaze.
Yun Zhi kicked the human head under her foot forward. The head actually flew in a curved arc, bounced off the wall, and then rebounded back to her feet.
After being kicked like that, the human head emitted black qi and was about to flare up, but then the little boy jumped up excitedly and shouted: "Fun, fun! I want to learn this too. Grandma, don't move, let her teach me."
"Don't worry." Yun Zhi looked down at the human head under her foot. "I will definitely... tea~ch~ you~ slowly~."
Yun Zhi stepped on the old woman's head and rolled it under her foot twice more.
As for kicking heads, she had the most experience.
The little boy seemed completely unconcerned about the uncomfortable expression on his grandma's face, clapping happily: "Teach me quickly, teach me quickly!"
【Suddenly remembers the lover's head that was kicked away by the streamer in the last instance】
【Although the scene is a bit grotesque, kicking it feels so satisfying; what's up with that?】
【To deal with bratty parents, you still need a bratty child】
By the time the brat finally learned to play proper "football," the rotting flesh on the old woman's head had fallen off and was scattered all over the ground.
Seeing the brat still wanted to play, Yun Zhi patted his head: "I still have to work. Good child, if you think I taught well, give me a 'satisfied' rating."
She took out the satisfaction survey form.
The little boy contentedly checked the box on it.
When Yun Zhi was leaving, the little boy was a bit reluctant: "Big sister, next time we play, let's try using my dad's, mom's, and grandpa's heads!"
"Okay." Yun Zhi smiled. "A family should be together, neat and complete."
【Pfft, what a 'family should be together'】
【Streamer makes an inexplicable joke again】
After successfully obtaining the first satisfaction rating, Yun Zhi continued upstairs.
On the twelfth floor, she saw a couple arguing about their child's poor grades.
"Her not studying hard is definitely because she takes after you!" The wife was so angry that blood flowed from her seven orifices, wiping blood as she scolded.
The husband retorted: "It's definitely because she takes after you. My grades used to be great."
Wife: "Bullshit! Last time I saw your elementary school test paper, you only got one point in math!"
The husband was so angry he spun in circles. The little girl cowered in the corner, not daring to speak.
Then they looked at Yun Zhi, showing their rotting faces: "You tell us, whose fault is it that the child doesn't study hard?"
Yun Zhi: Huh? You're asking me?
Yun Zhi thought for a moment, then pulled out a stack of hell notes: "I think the child's studies are always poor; probably she hasn't studied enough. Go buy her a few hundred more workbooks and make her do them; that'll guarantee good grades."
Fortunately, she had withdrawn some hell notes before entering the instance.
【Streamer, streamer, are you a devil?】
【Last New Year, I gave my little niece a cartload of workbooks. My little niece cried with joy】
【Are you sure she cried with joy?】
【Such a young child already feels the malice of the world】
Yun Zhi didn't know about the malice of the world, but the couple was overjoyed to receive the hell notes and immediately filled out a satisfaction rating for Yun Zhi.
Only the little girl, who suddenly had several hundred more workbooks, cried even louder.
Having obtained two satisfaction ratings, Yun Zhi continued upstairs. On the fourteenth floor, she stopped.
In the last instance, Mr. Zhang upstairs had said he was on the fifteenth floor of Building 4, so the housewife's home should be on the fourteenth floor of Building 4.
Yun Zhi clearly saw sticky bloodstains on the ground and handprints on the door.
【It's back, it's all back】
【Just started watching the stream, don't understand; what are you talking about?】
【Earlier people can rewatch the streamer's last stream; there's the streamer's husband in this one】
Yun Zhi stopped in front of the door. Her hand, raised to knock, hesitated.
According to the timeline of the last instance, the real husband had been thrown away somewhere unknown, and the housewife had gained freedom, so no one should be inside the house.
Of course, it was more likely that after becoming a new instance, the contents of the previous instance had already reset.
She didn't need to worry about this at all.
"Wife, you're home, why don't you come in?" A sticky voice suddenly sounded from behind her ear.
Yun Zhi had a start and turned her head to meet a pair of familiar eyes.
"Husband?"
No way, how is he still here!?
