Chapter 4

"Friends in the room, please open the door."

"I am in the same situation as you; it is already dawn now, those ghost things are all gone, and it is safe outside."

The knocking sound was clean and crisp, made with fingers, the speaking voice was sincere and full of energy, and plus it was daytime...

Wu Xian judged that this person was ninety percent likely to be a living person, but the necessary vigilance still had to be maintained.

So he held his toothbrush in his mouth, held up his middle finger, ready to launch the True Fire Incantation at any time, and slowly pulled the door open.

The man outside had a crew cut, a firm forehead and strong neck, and was broad-shouldered and round-waisted; his upper body was a dark green short-sleeve stretched by muscles, and his lower body was tactical pants with several pockets; he was stunned for a moment when he saw Wu Xian, who looked like his kidneys were overdrawn, and then a flash of disappointment and displeasure crossed his face.

Wu Xian realized that holding up his middle finger was too impolite.

"Although this place is called Fudi, it is actually a living hell; all common sense from the outside world has no meaning here; ghosts and demons run rampant, monsters are everywhere, and there even exist some indescribable terrifying things."

One category is unspecified individuals who received mysterious text messages before disappearing, and the other category is regional collective disappearances.

This is the fourth floor of the hostel, with a total of eight rooms, all of which are the same old-fashioned mahogany doors, with signs nailed to the wall on the doors; the corridor is very spacious, the ground is paved with yellow tiles, three yellowed lamps hang from the ceiling, and to the left of the stairs are 401 to 404, then turning back are 405 to 408.

"I am Qi Zhiyong, living in 402; I won't talk nonsense; after the night just now, you should know what the situation is; I will tell you everything I know and take you to survive as much as possible."

Wu Xian lives in Room 406; the door to Room 405 next door has already been violently destroyed; it seems that the person who died last night was this one; no wonder that painful whimpering sound was heard so clearly.

He took Wu Xian to knock on the other room doors, and the people hiding in the rooms all came out; in the end, a total of six men and three women, nine people, stood in the corridor; they were all the survivors of the Ping'an Hostel.

"The evil entities we commonly see are generally divided into two levels: low-level are wandering entities, and high-level are great entities."

Did these two originally live in the Ping'an Hostel?

"Then I'll go first; my name is Wen Chao, I live in guest room 401, and I work at the Fuyuan Institute of Technology Physics College."

"Okay, I'll go out after I finish brushing my teeth."

Fang Zhi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wen Chao's eyes.

Some people had disdainful expressions, some were discussing in low voices, some were lowering their heads and grabbing the sleeves of the people beside them; a square-faced man in a suit waved his hand to leave, but was pulled back by an old man beside him.

The young man was wearing a blue tracksuit, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his buttocks were slightly large; he looked honest and simple, with a look of having no ulterior motives.

"The initial setting time of cement is at least forty minutes, which means that half an hour before dawn, that female ghost named Yu Yinghua had already left."

"I, my name is Yue Mei, I am a nurse; can we really survive? I still have elderly people at home, I haven't even fallen in love yet, I..."

"These things, we generally collectively call them evil entities!"

This trio attracted everyone's attention; Qi Zhiyong was a bit vigilant, while Shi Ji and Fang Zhi were very envious; one man monopolizing sisters is a scene in a man's dreams that can only appear in novels and anime.

The second person to introduce himself was a slightly chubby young man.

The sturdy man brought out the momentum of a leader and said loudly:

Fang Zhi looked at him in surprise: "You are also at Fuyuan Tech? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The girl with the single ponytail is the older sister, named Su Huilan.

Qi Zhiyong nodded with satisfaction and began to recount the information he had mastered.

The old man pointed to the square-faced man in the suit: "This is my student Fang Zhi, living in 407; we caught the two o'clock train in the morning, so we are staying here temporarily, and then we encountered this kind of thing."

The first to stand out was an old man with glasses wearing a blue shirt and a wool vest.

The sturdy man did not notice Wu Xian's small movements.

"Fudi is a regional abnormal phenomenon that may appear in any corner of the world; the place covered by the Fudi is an independent space, and before the Fudi ends, we cannot leave here."

In the end, including Wu Xian, everyone stayed.

"But no matter which kind, they all have the ability to kill; even relatively weak wandering entities, and great entities... when encountering great entities, just pray that your luck is good..."

But until he finished speaking, he did not reveal a single word of information about the statue.

It seems that he is not as frank as he said.

Wu Xian's eyes narrowed slightly.

The man's body paused.

"I am He Qiong, living in 404; the two of them are with me."

In this way, the missing persons in the Fudi case are indeed divided into two categories.

"My name is Shi Ji, living in 403, and I also work at Fuyuan Tech."

Fang Zhi did not dislike him, but instead pulled Shi Ji to his side; they both work at the same school, and in this kind of place, they should help each other.

The one with the twin tails is the younger sister, named Su Huijin.

"Alright, that's all the information."

Everyone looked at each other, with different expressions and attitudes.

He Qiong's attitude was very relaxed, and his tone was even a bit arrogant; behind him followed two beautiful girls who looked similar, both hiding timidly behind him, holding his arms.

Qi Zhiyong scanned everyone: "In the next few days, we must unite as one to survive; to enhance trust and understanding, please everyone introduce yourselves."

He took advantage of the sturdy man not paying attention and dipped his hand in some undried mud-water.

Immediately after, the fourth person stood out; this was a curly-haired man wearing a floral shirt and a gold chain.

"It's cement..."

The man snorted coldly and turned to walk to other rooms.

"But my information is not free; if you have received my help, you must obey my command; if anyone doesn't want to listen, please return to your own room."

Wu Xian is the former, while Wen Chao and Fang Zhi are the latter.

In addition, Wu Xian also noticed that the corridor, both the floor and the walls, were covered with mud-water traces; most of them were completely dried, only a small part had just solidified, but the vast majority of the room doors were clean, without being splashed with mud-water stains.

Wen Chao sighed faintly, lamenting that the world is going downhill and people's hearts are not what they used to be.

When Wu Xian went out, the sturdy man was knocking on other room doors, and he took the opportunity to look around.

"Hurry up and tidy up, come out with me; the safe time during the day is precious, and we need to discuss with all the survivors how to survive in the Fudi."

Shi Ji fidgeted: "I'm the one who cleans the toilets."

Wu Xian listened earnestly.

Qi Zhiyong introduced a lot of useful information, such as the fact that Fudi also has day and night, with daytime being relatively safe and nighttime being rampant with evil entities; also, fear is useless when facing evil entities, as fear only enhances their killing ability; some evil entities have the ability to disguise themselves as humans...

As for Wu Xian, he saw some interesting things.

So he used his middle finger to pick his nose, covering up the act of holding up his middle finger.

The next person to introduce herself was a good-looking woman who had been shrinking at the very back, trembling while holding an amulet in her hand.

She was panicked and incoherent, looking at everyone with expectation, but no one could give her a guarantee of safety.

Next, the only one who hadn't introduced himself was Wu Xian.
