A Way to Court Death, Physical Sleep

Ji Yan frowned as he listened to the White-skirt female eerie. "So, this mission was impossible to complete from the very beginning."

The White-skirt female eerie got up from her lounge chair, her graceful figure appearing dreamlike and captivating in the hazy moonlight.

"That's not necessarily true."

Her pale, stunningly flawless face leaned closer into Ji Yan's line of sight, her red lips curling up. "I have a plan."

"It's just a bit devious, a bit suicidal. Depends if you dare to do it."

Seeing the mischievous smile that bloomed on her cheeks, Ji Yan said, "I've already done plenty of suicidal things. If it works, that's all that matters."

"It's actually very simple. Hold the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords. I know that couple well, they're bound to explode..."

"But, you'll have to be the bad guy."

Ji Yan's eyes flickered as he immediately understood.

Although it felt a bit far-fetched, it seemed to be the only viable plan at the moment.

"It's fine, I'm not new to being the bad guy."

A few minutes later.

The door within the entryway opened silently.

The Eerie Couple from 804, following the scent, had found their way here.

In the dim entryway, two eerie figures scanned the room before their gaze settled on the White-skirt female eerie lounging in the chair.

"Miss Bai, do you just have to butt into everything?"

Flipping through the book in her hands, Miss Bai smiled faintly. "I just like watching the show. When have I ever butted in?"

The Eerie Mother's face contorted, a deep gash on her neck clearly visible. "The kid's scent is in your room! You're hiding him!"

The Eerie Father was unusually tall, his head wrapped in blood-soaked bandages, his eyes two bloody, mangled holes. "That kid hurt my wife. Miss Bai, you shouldn't get involved in this."

"We're all neighbors on the same floor. Let's not ruin our relationship. He's just a rat from outside."

"You're not going to help an outsider over us, are you?"

The Eerie Couple were notoriously arrogant and overbearing in the Crimson Apartment.

However, they still held some apprehension towards Miss Bai from 801.

After all, when this woman first arrived at the Crimson Apartment, she had directly moved into the most "fierce" room, 801.

And the fact that she had remained unharmed until now clearly indicated that she was no pushover.

"If you don't believe me, go look for yourselves."

"But, as you know, my room, 801, has many guests sharing it. You have bad tempers, and they have even worse tempers. Keep the noise down."

Miss Bai continued flipping through her book, her eyes never once lifting.

The Eerie Couple's expressions turned somewhat awkward. They were also wary of room 801, but ultimately, they braced themselves and entered to search for the person...

Meanwhile.

To mask his scent, Ji Yan put on the Scissorhand Human Skin Mask, transforming into an eerie resident.

He directly made his way to room 804. Although the mask's effect would only last for about 10 minutes, it was enough for him to "raid the base"!

The bone spurs of the human skin mask pierced his cheek skin, adhering tightly as if they had grown together with Ji Yan's face.

The stench of blood filled his nostrils, a truly unpleasant sensation.

The door to 804 was not closed.

Inside the entryway, the Eerie Child was squatting there, playing with two shriveled heads the size of coconuts.

"Kid, how about Uncle takes you somewhere fun?" Ji Yan stared at the child's torn, bloody face and spoke as kindly as he could.

The Eerie Child, Xiao Xiao, looked at Ji Yan's face, his eyes sparkling. "Uncle, your face is so pretty."

"Can Uncle take it off and put it on Xiao Xiao's ball?"

Xiao Xiao cradled a shriveled head, his completely black eye sockets filled with innocent purity.

"You come with Uncle first. When we get there, Uncle will take it off for you."

Xiao Xiao tilted his head. "I want it now."

"Be good, Uncle will take you to that place. There are balls like this everywhere."

Ji Yan reached out and stroked the child's round little head.

It had to be said, apart from their creepy appearance, eerie children were quite cute.

Indeed, the cuteness of youth was universal, regardless of species.

But the next second, Ji Yan dismissed that thought.

The Eerie Child, Xiao Xiao, grabbed Ji Yan's hand and grinned, revealing a chilling smile. "I don't want to go. Daddy said never to believe anything strangers say."

"If I cry, Daddy will come right away, and when Daddy comes, he'll peel your face off for me!"

"He'll give me anything I want, he loves me the most!"

As she spoke, the Eerie Child opened her mouth, about to let out a wail.

"Don't cry, Uncle has this treasure for you, you'll definitely like it!"

"What is it?"

The Eerie Child thought she had scared the other party, but in the next second, Ji Yan directly took out a nail hammer and swung it with all his might at the little eerie head.

After the first blow, the other party didn't faint. Instead, it clutched its head and cried even louder.

Ji Yan swung the hammer again, WHAM! Likes to cry? He hated spoiled brats the most!

Cracks spread across its head. After two blows, the Eerie Child, Xiao Xiao, fell into a deep sleep. The game panel popped up.

Player dealt damage to Eerie Child using eerie weapon, lost 75 HP. Eerie weapon [Nail Hammer] gained 20 Durability!

Ji Yan put away the hammer. He couldn't smash it anymore; if the Eerie Child died, the plan would fall apart.

Ji Yan grabbed the Eerie Child and ran towards the corridor.

However, because the Eerie Child was still crying, the Eerie Couple in room 804 immediately noticed.

Unable to find Ji Yan in their room, they immediately understood what was happening.

They glared furiously at Miss Bai, their terrifying aura seeming to tear her body apart: "Bitch!! Were you playing us, the couple, along with that stinking rat?"

Miss Bai continued to elegantly flip through her book, her mind immersed in it, and said lightly, "I was reading a book in my own home, and you barged in. I even let you search the house."

"You couldn't find anyone and then you're blaming me."

"The one who's gone too far and should be angry is me, shouldn't it?"

Miss Bai closed her book and looked at the Eerie Couple. The double eyelid mole on her eye flashed with a cold light.

The Eerie Couple gritted their teeth but dared not lash out. They could only leave quickly to find their precious son.

Rooftop.

Beside the cistern, the Twin Sisters looked at Ji Yan, who had finally returned, and quickly asked, "How did it go? Did that eerie couple come?"

Ji Yan shook his head: "The parents didn't come. I brought their child."

He held the unconscious Eerie Child in his hand.

The younger sister still asked blankly, "Why did you bring their child up here?"

The older sister's face changed: "Are you crazy? This will make them blacken!"

Those were the residents of the 8th floor!

"This is the most direct and effective way to get them up here."

Ji Yan went over and pushed open the concrete lid of the cistern. A pair of pale white eyes opened in the darkness, filled with intense resentment: "You dare to come again!"

Clearly, she still resented Ji Yan's previous nail hammer blow.

"Don't be angry. I brought a family member up to see who it is."

With that, Ji Yan threw the Eerie Child into the cistern and directly covered it with the concrete slab.

He jumped down, clapped his hands, and turned to the dumbfounded Twin Sisters, saying, "Alright, the mission is complete."

The older sister stared blankly: "No, you just knocked their little brother unconscious and threw him in, and the mission is complete?"

Ji Yan looked at the time and said, "Don't rush, wait."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for that blackened Eerie Couple from 804 to come up and tear us to shreds."

The Twin Sisters: "..."
