Love and Hate Twisted

Chapter 7 Twisted Love and Hate

"Water Official, Outer God..."

Seeing the different prefixes on the god statues, Wu Xian realized that these statues definitely had specific classifications and uses. Unfortunately, he had seen too few of them to make an accurate judgment.

There was no incense burner in front of the Many Treasures Tathagata statue, meaning he couldn't gain benefits by worshipping it. However, it was definitely useful.

After a moment of thought, Wu Xian found some miscellaneous items from other rooms and covered the statue. This way, even if someone came into the room, they wouldn't find the Outer God statue unless they searched carefully.

The second and third floors of the inn were explored!

Wu Xian finally went down to the first floor and happened to meet Shi Ji coming back.

He clutched his side, his expression extremely grim, and carried a large bag of things. Just as Wu Xian was about to ask about his condition, Shi Ji first asked about Wu Xian.

Following Mr. Wang's guidance, Wu Xian arrived at the Fuxin Huayuan Community behind the inn.

He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but the things Shi Ji was carrying earlier...

Mr. Wang couldn't hold back any longer.

"Mr. Wu, your face is so pale. Did something happen?"

After searching for a while, a faint voice came from the refrigerator.

"What did you say?!"

He flipped through a few more photos, focusing on admiring his beautiful wife, and finally found one with bare feet. He examined it for a while before putting it down with satisfaction.

"Mr. Wang's wife is the hanged ghost who attacked me!"

Shi Ji raised the bag in his hand and smiled:

"Tsk tsk, so that's what eating you for a lifetime means."

In the phone's album, there were all selfies of Liu Juan eating.

When the man saw Wu Xian, his face changed slightly, and he retreated back into the dark apartment building.

"It's uncertain when an evil ghost will come to kill, but if there's no food, people will really die."

"Oh, I found some food. I'm a bit clumsy and can't do complicated things, but I'm a good cook. I'll make something warm for everyone."

"Perhaps she wanted to vent her resentment, or perhaps she could still gain benefits by keeping your corpse, which is why she hid your body in the refrigerator."

After resting for a while, Wen Chao and the other continued their investigation.

The social order in the blessed land had long since collapsed. However, judging by the surrounding traces, a small number of people should still be surviving here, but very few.

Suddenly, Wu Xian shivered and coughed violently twice. His body clearly felt unwell, and the drop in temperature had pushed his body to the brink of danger.

Wu Xian put on a thick coat, sat on a chair to charge his phone, and spoke while sitting in front of the refrigerator.

"Mr. Wang, you're not being honest."

"Juan'er and I met that winter, when she..."

Wu Xian waved his hand: "I'm fine, what about you..."

Wu Xian scoffed at this.

Wu Xian's words offended Mr. Wang, who let out an angry roar. Wu Xian's body temperature dropped even faster, and he started to shiver.

Wu Xian stepped into Room 902, which was Mr. Wang's home.

"I hope you can calm down. If I get cursed to death, no one will help you find the key."

"Freezer?"

It smelled very fishy and foul!

"What are you still waiting for? Hurry up and open this coffin and let me out! As long as I get out, I'll lift the curse for you, and your body temperature will return to normal."

"Later, you died."

By this point, the phone had finished charging. Wu Xian used the same trick to crack the password. After a quick search, he opened the album, his eyes widening.

As he went upstairs, Wu Xian noticed that the situation here was very similar to the second and third floors of the inn. Most of the doors on the way were broken, and the interiors were damaged and faded.

He picked up a diary from the ground. It was filled with writing, both large and small. All the writing said only one sentence.

She ate every meal sitting in front of the open refrigerator door, with cooked meat as her staple food, as if sharing a meal with her deceased husband.

He stared at the electricity meter box for a while before finally determining that only Room 902 in this unit was using electricity.

Wu Xian followed the feeling of cold and stopped at the entrance of a unit, looking up.

Wu Xian chuckled. The freezer was not locked. It seemed that Mr. Wang, besides casting a curse to get Wu Xian to help open the door, had no ability to observe or interfere with the outside world.

The large room was in disarray. The furniture on the floor was overturned, and it was piled with miscellaneous items like takeout boxes and milk tea bottles. The leftover food in the containers had rotted and smelled foul. A freezer was placed in the corner.

As soon as Wu Xian entered the community, he saw Wen Chao and Fang Zhi running out of an apartment building in a sorry state. A gaunt man was shouting at them with a cleaver.

It was clear that Mr. Wang was inside that freezer.

"Friend, I want to..."

Knowing this, Wu Xian became even less anxious.

He kicked aside miscellaneous items, pretending to be diligently searching for the key, and asked slowly, "May I ask why you were locked in the freezer?"

But Wu Xian still wasn't in a hurry to let him out. Instead, he continued to search the room, looking for useful information amidst the mess. This information would allow him to confirm his next course of action.

Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment, as if shocked, and then told Wu Xian a story.

While talking, he found another mobile phone, adorned with colorful diamonds. It probably belonged to the female master.

"This married woman looks a bit familiar."

"Mr. Wang should be buried here."

"Ah, so this is a freezer."

Wen Chao was full of helplessness. When had he ever been treated like this?

Wu Xian chatted with them for a bit and learned that they wanted to obtain information about the blessed land through survivors, but it didn't seem to be going smoothly.

"Get lost! You'll get me killed. If you come again, I'll kill someone!"

"In my opinion, the story goes like this: you were in a profession that couldn't stand the light of day. Liu Juan might have been another victim. She caught your weakness and threatened to marry you, forcing you to pay for her extravagant spending."

It seemed that in the blessed land, doors were very important. Only intact doors could prevent the invasion of evil spirits.

You're the one who ruined me like this. You can't escape. I'm going to eat you for the rest of my life!!!

"Is this extreme hatred, or twisted love?"

As the two passed each other, Wu Xian suddenly stopped.

The icy guidance was two-dimensional and couldn't tell Wu Xian which floor he was on. This building had seventeen floors, with two rooms on each floor. Just searching floor by floor would waste a lot of time.

Hearing him say that, Wu Xian actually felt a bit hungry and started looking forward to dinner.

Outside the hotel, there was only gray mist. The sunlight barely reached the ground, and the surroundings were gloomy.

This building had an elevator, but Wu Xian still chose to walk upstairs.

Fortunately, the blessed land's power system was still functioning. Mr. Wang should have been locked in the refrigerator, so the refrigerator must have been consuming electricity.

Wu Xian casually replied, "Your coffin is locked. I'm looking for the key."

"On the surface, you are husband and wife, but in reality, your relationship is more like master and servant. That's why in all your photos together, it's your wife who is smiling, not you."

Wu Xian rummaged through the ground and picked up a photo. It was a photo of a couple. In the picture, the beautiful wife had a bright smile, while the ordinary-looking husband wore a distressed expression, his eyebrows forming an inverted V shape.

"Juan'er and I were very much in love. She once said she wanted to be with me forever. Perhaps because she loved me too much, she couldn't accept my departure and kept me preserved in the freezer. This way, it's as if I'm still with her."

Creak...

Mr. Wang sighed, "Sigh... Juan'er, why are you like this... Sigh, hurry up and find the key. Find the key and let me out."

So Wu Xian didn't go upstairs. Instead, he opened the door of the meter cabinet downstairs.

But for some reason.

The further back the photos were, the fewer of Mr. Wang's bodies were in the open freezer.
