The Blood Moon hung overhead.
The air was thick with the heavy stench of blood.
Xu Qing looked around curiously.
After arriving in the Horror World, the area in which he could move was limited to a very small part.
Whether it was the clinic or the Market, they were merely the tip of the iceberg compared to the entire Happiness Community.
Most of the residents of the entire Happiness Community lived in Happiness Residential Community.
Therefore, Xu Qing had complicated feelings toward Happiness Residential Community.
There was anticipation, as well as worry.
He would definitely get to see more novel creatures here!
But at the same time, the creatures he encountered here would certainly be even more dangerous!
At that moment, Xu Qing saw a viscous creature crawling along the ground.
【Blood Curse】
【Level: 0】
【Description: A low-level Cursed Object commonly found in high-level gathering places, and a common scavenger in the Horror World. No one yet knows how they are born, but they possess uncanny devouring and repair abilities. When their numbers become large, they can easily undergo mutations.】
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost walked ahead, completely ignoring everything around her.
Xu Qing vaguely heard her muttering under her breath…
“You’re always making me run errands. Why don’t you go yourself?”
“I almost died yesterday.”
“I saw him when I opened the door. It was that vicious fellow. He died and was soaked in formalin.”
The aura around the Wrongfully Dead Ghost kept changing.
It seemed that two different personalities were engaged in an intense argument.
Xu Qing did not interrupt her and instead observed silently.
As the night grew deeper, the time during which the second personality appeared would gradually increase.
Moreover, the resentment within the Wrongfully Dead Ghost was also changing violently.
“It seems that once midnight arrives, the Wrongfully Dead Ghost will turn into another personality.”
“Normally, if she is not stimulated, the transformation into the second personality should not be triggered.”
Observing the Wrongfully Dead Ghost’s changes, Xu Qing roughly reached a conclusion.
He raised his hand to check the time. It was seven in the evening.
There were still five hours left.
As long as he could persuade the Primary Personality to accept treatment during this process and finish before midnight, he would definitely be able to complete it smoothly.
At that moment, Xu Qing looked up ahead.
Through the dense fog, several towering buildings could be vaguely seen.
The entire Happiness Residential Community was surrounded, and there seemed to be only one front entrance for entering and exiting. An access card was also required.
After a brief argument, the Wrongfully Dead Ghost returned to her timid former appearance.
Xu Qing also did not dare to stimulate her.
It would be troublesome if she turned into the second personality.
“With Brother Water Ghost around, it must be very safe inside the residential community, right?”
Xu Qing followed beside the Wrongfully Dead Ghost and said with a smile.
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost stopped.
She turned to look at Xu Qing beside her. Although her long hair covered her face, Xu Qing clearly felt her gaze fall upon him.
It was as though… she were looking at a madman!
“Yesterday morning, the resident of Building 1, Room 305, died on the way to work.”
“There, that’s the spot.”
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost pointed to a place more than ten meters ahead of Xu Qing.
A pool of dried blood could still be seen on the ground.
Although there were traces of Blood Curse restoration around it, it was still possible to see that an exceptionally brutal battle had taken place there.
Xu Qing: “……”
There was no way to continue that topic.
After successfully entering the residential community with the access card, he saw a concrete road stretching beyond sight.
Xu Qing glanced at the enormous tree on the right, and his expression changed.
The tree had sparse branches and leaves, resembling a dead tree.
But hanging from the tree…
were one grotesque humanoid object after another!
The branches had pierced their limbs, nailing them firmly to the trunk!
Xu Qing even saw a young human who had only recently been hung up. His body was shriveled, as if all the moisture in him had been drained away!
The young man saw Xu Qing and struggled desperately a few times!
Then… he fell completely silent!
At that moment, Xu Qing sensed the Wrongfully Dead Ghost’s aura suddenly change.
Immediately afterward, she said ominously, “These are all rats who are useless to us.”
“Humans are too scarce, so we like to hang them on trees to dry.”
“Air-dried meat is delicious too!”
Hearing the threatening tone of the Wrongfully Dead Ghost, Xu Qing frowned. “What, do you want to hang me on the tree too?”
“Heh heh. If you are a useless quack, then you will share their fate.”
After saying this, the Wrongfully Dead Ghost’s body trembled.
“Good Doctor, I’m… I’m really sorry.”
Xu Qing waved his hand and did not pay attention to the young man.
The laws of survival in the Horror World were cruel.
He was already struggling to protect himself, so naturally he would not cause trouble for himself.
It seemed that the Wrongfully Dead Ghost’s second personality was not easy to get along with.
The fact that she had not chosen to kill him ruthlessly was probably because of her neighbor.
Fortunately, Xu Qing had also gained some understanding of that mysterious level 204 evil ghost neighbor.
Moreover, with that bottle of antidote, he was not so worried.
They walked along the sinister main road.
Xu Qing soon saw the entrance to Building 1.
At the entrance stood a stone table and stone stools, surrounded by bloodstains and chunks of flesh.
A blood-soaked chessboard sat on the table, while a kind-looking old man sat on one of the stone stools.
In front of him was a Little Ghost covered in pus-filled boils and bleeding without end.
The Little Ghost looked terrified as he studied the chessboard on the stone table.
After pondering for a long time, he finally placed a piece. Then the old man said kindly, “Checkmate!”
Splurt!
It… exploded.
The Little Ghost’s entire body instantly burst apart.
Blood spattered across the entire chessboard…
Xu Qing finally knew where all this flesh and blood had come from.
As the Wrongfully Dead Ghost passed him, Xu Qing clearly felt her tremble. “G-Grandpa Luo.”
“It’s you. Have you gone out again? Be careful. Things haven’t been peaceful in our community lately.” Grandpa Luo spoke with a smile, but his gaze swept over Xu Qing, and a trace of astonishment flashed through his murky eyes.
“A human doctor? That really is a rare sight.”
Being scrutinized like this made Xu Qing nervous as well.
Although Grandpa Luo looked kind and benevolent, the instant his gaze fell upon Xu Qing, it made him feel as if thorns were pricking his back.
Dangerous!
This Grandpa Luo was definitely an extremely dangerous existence!
After all, anyone famous enough to have a name in the Horror World was certainly not someone to provoke!
Xu Qing forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and met Grandpa Luo’s gaze.
Grandpa Luo’s status panel slowly appeared.
【Luo Yongkui】
【Level: 26】
【Combat Power: Do not attempt to provoke a kind-looking old martial arts master】
【Illness: Alzheimer’s disease】
【Description: A resident of Room 404 in Building 1 of Happiness Residential Community and the Building Warden of Building 1. Kind Grandpa Luo has always protected the safety of Building 1. Dutiful as he is, he rarely leaves his jurisdiction; he did not even leave when his own grandson disappeared. Grandpa Luo likes clever people very much and always enjoys asking people to play chinese chess with him, but you must refuse. If you lose, believe me… you will see the previous corpse.】
【Treatment Recommendation: Try approaching the “clever grandson”】
“Young man, do you know how to play chinese chess?” Grandpa Luo suddenly grabbed Xu Qing’s wrist and asked in a low voice.
Xu Qing tried to struggle, but it had no effect.
Even his physique, which surpassed that of ordinary people, was helpless here.
“G-Grandpa Luo, he’s the doctor I hired. T-The time is almost up.”
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost stammered.
Judging from her tone, it seemed she might burst into tears at any moment.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Grandpa Luo, I have to go treat a patient. If I get the chance, I will definitely come play a few games with you.”
Xu Qing’s thinking was simple.
After all, Grandpa Luo had senile dementia. Perhaps he would not remember next time.
“I believe you are a young man who keeps his word.” Grandpa Luo nodded in satisfaction, finally releasing Xu Qing.
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost could not listen any longer.
Human, are you tired of living?
Did you not see how the previous ghost died?
Why can you still agree so casually while chatting and laughing?
In the Wrongfully Dead Ghost’s heart, her fear of Xu Qing rose once again.
This human doctor was far too abnormal!
