I lived like a dog outside today, why didn’t I cry?”
Azhen's cry was very weak, and Zhou Bai was in his room and couldn't hear it clearly.
But Aaron's irritable curses came through clearly.
"It seems that if I don't break your legs, you will definitely leave me sooner or later."
As soon as Aaron finished speaking, Zhou Bai heard the sound of a heavy object falling, accompanied by Azhen's scream.
Zhou Bai stood in the living room, holding a water glass in his hand.
When I heard this scream, I felt all the blood in my body rushing to my head.
He quickly put down the water glass and walked to the door.
However, when he just turned the doorknob with his hand, the sound of kicking the door came ahead of him.
"You bastard, if you can, open the door for me!"
Zhou Bai opened the door of his home and saw Mrs. Lin holding a kitchen knife in her hand and standing menacingly in front of the next door.
As soon as she finished speaking, she kicked the door next door again.
"Anyway, I am very impatient with life.
If you have the ability, come out and I will fight with you."
Aaron next door didn't dare to open the door, and his voice became quiet at the same time.
Xiong Xiong stood at the door of his home, looking at his mother without much expression on his face.
Mother Lin held the kitchen knife and gasped angrily.
But when she turned around and saw Xiong Xiong standing at the door looking at her, she was suddenly stunned.
"Baby...are you scared?
I'm sorry, mom didn't mean it."
She hid the kitchen knife behind her and walked back to her house with an expressionless expression.
Zhou Bai waited until they left and came to the door of the house where Azhen and Aaron lived.
Then he heard Aaron lower his voice from inside the door and said to A-Zhen.
"My dear, don't do this. It was my fault."
"It's my fault, I shouldn't hit you."
"I love you too much and care about you too much to be like this."
"Can you forgive me?"
"This is the last time, I promise I won't do it again."
Azhen didn't say anything to forgive Aaron, she just kept crying.
Zhou Bai did not continue to listen to their conversation, left their door, and silently walked back to his house.
At about six o'clock in the evening, Father Lin slowly passed by Zhou Bai's door, dragging his steps even heavier than in the morning.
Zhou Bai looked at the time, then looked at the sun that was about to set outside the window, walked to the refrigerator, and prepared to arrange a dinner for himself.
However, when he stood up from the sofa, he suddenly saw a note appearing on the cabinet next to him.
Zhou Bai passed by this cabinet many times today, and he could confirm that there was no note on this cabinet before.
Another object appearing out of thin air?
Forget it, Zhou Bai didn't bother to be surprised anymore.
In this weird world, there is no need to be surprised when anything happens.
He picked up the note and read the contents on it.
[Rules for survival at night in Xingfu Building]
【1. Never want to leave Xingfu Building.】
[2. The lights in Xingfu Building at night are a little dim. Your neighbors sometimes recognize the wrong person. This is a very normal thing. 】
【3. Only one person can be allowed in your home at a time.】
[4. In Xingfu Building at night, it is prohibited to make too much noise or make too big movements. Especially when there are other neighbors around you. 】
[5. You can accept the invitation of neighbors and visit their homes. But please remember, do not eat anything when you go to other people’s homes. 】
[6. If you hear laughter coming from the ceiling, no matter what you are doing, please stop what you are doing. Do not continue until the laughter stops. 】
【7. If you hear crying from the ceiling, no matter where you are, please lie down immediately and close your eyes. You may not open your eyes until eight o'clock the next morning.】
[8. You can tie red ropes on your limbs in advance. In this way, you will not be affected by the sound from the ceiling. But please note that this behavior may arouse the anger of the neighbors. 】
After Zhou Bai read all the rules, the voice of the system rang in his mind.
[I realize that the host has obtained new rules, and now an incorrect option is marked for the host.]
[The first rule of survival at night in Xingfu Tower is wrong.]
Zhou Bai looked at the wrong rule and became a little excited.
【Never want to leave Xingfu Building.】
This rule is wrong.
In other words, he can leave Xingfu Building.
However, he didn't know the correct way to leave Xingfu Building.
This rule appears in the survival rules at night. Could it be that you cannot go out during the day and cannot go out until night?
However, this is not right either.
Those NPCs can obviously go out during the day.
Zhou Bai felt that he must have overlooked something.
He read through all the rules again, and finally focused on the last three rules.
Laughter and crying from the ceiling?
Is this the weirdness in this copy?
Could it be that "it" is observing me at all times?
When Zhou Bai thought of this, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing around him, which made his skin crawl.
But what is the connection between this "it" and the dead person in the trailer?
And are the neighbors also related to this "it"?
Question after question kept popping up in Zhou Bai's mind.
He couldn't help but rub his temples with his hands, and then looked outside the window, where the light was getting darker and darker.
He walked to the wall and turned on the light.
A dim yellow light immediately lit up above his head.
The rules are correct, the lights in Xingfu Building are indeed a bit dim.
But it would be a bit exaggerated to say that the level of darkness could cause neighbors to mistake people.
As soon as Zhou Bai's idea came to his mind, the lights above his head suddenly flickered.
He looked up at the flickering light and quickly put back his immature thoughts.
Zhou Bai put the note in his hand into his pocket, and while there was still some light outside the house, he continued to walk to the refrigerator, took out the ingredients, and began to arrange his dinner.
In his opinion, in addition to knowing who the person who died in the trailer is, he also needs to know the underlying secret of this copy.
So he believed that the wrong information he obtained today might be very important.
So he decided that no matter what happened tomorrow, he needed to track an NPC first and see how he got downstairs.
