The night passed quickly and peacefully.
Wang Zhifan practiced in his dream in his Room 405 last night, and trained himself the third Dream Self, making some preparations for today's mission.
As for rest, because his personal attributes are very high, his energy far exceeds that of ordinary people, and the energy consumption of practicing in dreams is relatively small, so it has no impact on his personal state at all.
The time unknowingly reached nine o'clock in the morning of a new day. At this moment, in the lobby on the first floor of Apartment 404, nearly two hundred residents gathered together.
"Zhang Ying, Sun Xiong...Wang Zhifan, Luo Fenghua...Zhao Qiang, Zhou Yue... all the people whose names I just read, come over and choose their own tasks! Others can leave and go whatever they are supposed to do!"
The hunched-backed building elder was currently standing in the middle of the lobby on the first floor, between the glass door and the elevator area. He was holding an old book with the blood-red words "Apartment 444" written on the cover in his hand, and shouted loudly to the residents gathered around him.
Not long after, with the very happy expressions of each resident, most of them walked to the elevator and returned to their rooms. Some people chose to stay on the first floor, staying in the distance to listen to the conversation between the building elder and the resident who was going to Blood-Word Mission this time.
Wang Zhifan and other four players all came to the front of the building elder. In addition to the four of them, there were eight other residents who were also named by the old man. The current expressions of these eight people were either nervous or fearful, or some were numb.
"Today there are four Blood-Word Mission for you to choose from. You all heard clearly."
The old man didn't pay attention to the status of the named residents. He focused on looking at the old book in his hand with the bloody words "Apartment 444", and then read, "The first task is to fish out a complete skeleton from Rotten Bone Lake and bury it in the nearby woods. After the bones are buried, you can take the bus back to the apartment."
"The second task is to spend one night in Ghost Village. As long as you can see the sun the next morning, you can leave the village and take the bus back to the apartment."
"The third task is to find any suitable tribute in Land of Great Crying, and send the tribute to any statue in Dead People's Temple and place it. After completing this task, you can wait for the bus to come back."
"The fourth task is to climb to the top of Deathwind Mountain before six o'clock this afternoon. Then you can watch the sunset at the top of the mountain for an hour and then go down the mountain and take the bus back to the apartment."
The old man read out today's four Blood-Word Mission in one breath, and then, without waiting for a response from the twelve residents in front of him, he frowned and began to mutter to himself, "His... strange... why are today's missions all going to these places... the difficulty seems to be quite high..."
He frowned and finished thinking with a puzzled expression. After a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head, shifted his gaze from the old book with blood letters in his hand to the twelve residents standing in front of him, and said, "Did you all hear it clearly? If you don't know, I can read it again."
But when all the residents saw what he said, they either looked frightened or numb, and did not respond at all, because they had all heard what he just muttered. At this moment, their hearts felt as heavy as lead. Only four players including Wang Zhifan still did not show much expression.
"Captain, I just heard you say that the difficulty of these tasks is not low? Can you give us an analysis? We are new here and don't know how to choose."
The young man wearing a blue and white school uniform and black-rimmed glasses then spoke first, asking for advice from the building elder who claimed to have completed Blood-Word Mission 30 times and passed the final test.
"Today's four Blood-Word Mission really don't look normal... I'll just tell you guys."
Seeing the young man in school uniform asking this question, the hunchbacked old man immediately nodded his gray-haired head, and raised his left hand with wrinkled skin to touch his forehead, which was also covered with wrinkles, as if he was trying to remember and think.
"This first mission is to go to Rotten Bone Lake. I have never been to Rotten Bone Lake in person, but many years ago I knew many apartment residents who were sent there to do Blood-Word Mission, but none of them could return to the apartment alive. Later, the apartment gradually rarely posted Blood-Word Mission there. I didn't expect to see it again today. Based on my personal experience, you'd better not choose this mission."
"The second task is to spend one night at Ghost Village. Ghost Village I think all the old residents should know the location, and some of them have even been there. Old man, I have been to this place many times in the past, but the question is, do you know when is the most dangerous time in this place? That is at night! Ghost Village is so scary at night! I once did a mission to sweep the floor at Ghost Village, and I almost didn't escape before dark, so it's really difficult to spend a night in Ghost Village, so you have to choose carefully."
"The third mission is related to Land of Great Crying and Dead People's Temple. Dead People's Temple is actually next to Land of Great Crying. The distance is not far. But the problem with this mission is that it is looking for tribute. It does not clearly explain what it is. Only tributes are appropriate. This is very troublesome. We don't have to choose this type of mission. It's best not to choose this type, because it is easy to have accidents. Maybe you can't find what Dead People's Temple wants after you go to Land of Great Crying. I don't think I need to say more about what will happen."
"The fourth mission is to go to the top of the Deathwind Mountain to watch the sunset. Do you think this mission is much simpler and easier than the previous ones? But let me tell you, this mission is definitely not as easy as it looks! Based on my years of experience, this kind of seemingly easy mission is likely to be a trap. Don't be careless just because it is literally easy. People who are not careful will not be able to complete Blood-Word Mission several times!"
The old man on the floor continuously analyzed the situation of the four Blood-Word Mission for the residents who were about to participate in the task. The twelve residents, including the four players including Wang Zhifan, listened very carefully, but the problem was that the old man only had one meaning after speaking, that is, these four tasks are all pitfalls and are very dangerous! "Captain, according to what you say, how dare we choose... Why don't you give us some other mission options?"
The young man in school uniform was the first to reply with a smile after hearing the analysis of the building elder.
But obviously, this kind of thing is impossible. The old man glared at him angrily. "You guys think that I own this apartment because I am the building manager? All Blood-Word Mission are released by the apartment itself! You can only choose from them!"
