Xu Yuan's Old Home

Regarding the "her" mentioned by Shata, Shata didn't elaborate. Jiangyang had clearly worked with that person before, leaving him with extremely deep psychological trauma.

Zhao Zhenjia should also know about the person Shata mentioned, but he didn't understand her very well, so he didn't pay much attention.

If "she" were involved, the Green Text Mission would have been completed at least four times. Otherwise, one wouldn't dare to run off to America. If the Green Text Mission was released in the previous few times and they didn't return to the Living Person Apartment within the time limit, there would be the risk of being erased.

Gao Tian knew nothing about the specific information of that girl, the Supernatural Items she used, or the number of Green Text Missions she had completed.

He only got fragments of information from Jiangyang: her given name was "Lan," she had some mental issues, the nerves in her brain responsible for sensing fear were damaged, and she had killed important teammates in a Green Text Mission.

Things were settled simply like this. The final team going to the Fourth Floor would consist of four to five people. It all depended on Gao Tian, whether he would survive the third Green Text Mission or die directly.

Additionally, regarding the recent disturbances from the Fourth Floor towards the Third Floor, the people present had also discussed whether to change floors.

First, the floors below were already full. Ordinary residents were all desperate to move to the Second Floor, even if it meant sharing a room with others.

Furthermore, the ghosts from the Fourth Floor had not actually killed anyone on the Third Floor so far, indicating that they were still constrained by some positional power. Otherwise, given their bloodthirsty desires, those ghosts absolutely wouldn't have held back until now.

Finally, it was decided temporarily that Jiangyang and Zhao Zhenjia would move to the rooms directly adjacent to Gao Tian's, one on each side. This way, if anything unexpected happened in Gao Tian's room, as long as he knocked on the wall in his bedroom, Jiangyang next door could arrive immediately.

Similarly, if Gao Tian walked to the position of the TV in the living room and knocked on the wall there, Zhao Zhenjia opposite would also hear it.

To be honest, Gao Tian was quite touched. As the newest resident on the Third Floor, although Zhao Zhenjia and the others treated him as the weakest and took measures to protect him, fearing he would become a breakthrough point for the ghosts.

Shata's room didn't need adjustment. As the apartment manager for this term, if even she died, everyone would probably fall into complete despair.

Yusheng's room also didn't need adjustment. No one had ever entered that strange monk's room; who knew what he was tinkering with inside.

The meeting ended, and it was getting late. Zhao Zhenjia and Jiangyang left the room one after another.

Only Gao Tian remained, but no one seemed to be leaving. Shata walked to the coffee machine, poured in some beans, and turned to look at him:

"What is it? Is there anything else?"

Gao Tian looked at her skillfully grinding the beans:

"Did you learn this before? This kind of thing."

Shata's expression didn't change much:

"Before entering the Living Person Apartment, my dream was always to become a barista.

"But after coming here, all my plans were disrupted. My Mother passed away the year before last. I didn't even have time to go back for the funeral because I had to help some new residents analyze Green Text Missions."

Her tone was very calm, as if she were discussing someone else's life.

Gao Tian didn't know if Shata's personality had always been this indifferent, or if she had gradually become so after experiencing too many partings and deaths in the Living Person Apartment.

He was silent for a moment. Although he hadn't known Shata for very long, Gao Tian felt that she was a reliable person.

"Are there any programmers with high-level skills in this apartment?

"I have a very important post on hand that was deleted. To restore it, I might need some professional knowledge."

Shata stopped what he was doing, his gem-like eyes turning towards Gao Tian:

"Is this post related to supernatural events?"

She's very perceptive.

I can't hide anything from her.

Gao Tian said:

"This is a website I stumbled upon. It was written by a Ghost Hunter with the ID 'Living Person Apartment'.

"I suspect this person is Xu Yuan. He once posted something related to the Living Person Apartment. Unfortunately, when I found it, the post had already been deleted.

"So, I wanted to ask if you know of any experts related to the internet on the second floor of the apartment. Perhaps with their skills, they could help restore the post within the apartment and reveal what happened."

Gao Tian glossed over how he discovered the post.

He had originally planned to make an excuse if Shata pressed him further, but she didn't dwell on such minor details. Instead, she focused on the main point.

Suddenly, she blurted out:

"Did you already try to find an expert outside to help you open that post once?

"But some supernatural power appeared in the post, and it killed the expert you brought in. Is that why you came to me, to borrow the power of the Living Person Apartment to suppress the Vengeful Ghost and simultaneously view the post's contents?"

Gao Tian's expression was a picture of shock.

Indeed, due to his ignorance, Cao Hua was dead. Cao Hua's death was entirely his fault.

This was the mistake Gao Tian least wanted to recall. Yet, Shata had to bring it up.

Seeing Gao Tian's expression change, Shata didn't need to ask further; she seemed to understand the whole story. She said nonchalantly:

"All experiments with Supernatural Items and anything related to the supernatural must be conducted within the Living Person Apartment. It is still safe here for now.

"It's my fault too. I've been too busy lately. I should have reminded you of the relevant precautions for new residents."

She had already prepared a steaming cup of pour-over coffee, stirring it with a whisk:

"There is indeed a programmer from Big Factory on the second floor. But recently, their department took on a major project, and they've been working overtime until past midnight every day.

"If you want to find him, you'll probably have to wait. He might be able to take a day off in about a month to return to the apartment and help you solve the problem."

Hearing that there was a resident in the Living Person Apartment who worked overtime every day, Gao Tian was as shocked by this news as he was the first time he learned that ghosts existed:

"Sister Ta, are you kidding me?

"He's already living in the Living Person Apartment, and we don't even know if he'll survive until the next mission ends. Instead of enjoying life, he's actually actively working overtime at the company?

"What's going on with this person? Is he short on money? But all food and accommodation in the Living Person Apartment are free..."

Shata took a shallow sip and glanced in Gao Tian's direction:

"In some Big Factories, the probability of employees dying from overwork is actually similar to the probability of dying on a Green Text Mission.

"If he's not afraid of overtime, why would he be afraid of undertaking a Green Text Mission?"

This.

Makes so much sense.

Gao Tian was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to retort.

"Hello, is this Gao Tian."

A gloomy voice rang out from the phone.

On the third floor of the Living Person Apartment at three in the morning, Gao Tian, who was groggily asleep in bed, was awakened by a hurried phone ring. He squinted, fumbled in the darkness, and finally managed to find his phone and the answer button. He then heard the familiar voice of an old friend from the other end.

Zhao Qiang.

"I've found the person you were looking for.

"His name is Xu Yuan. His Old Home is in Hengzhou City. He attended Honglong Elementary School and Mingde Middle School. He went to a top university in SH City, but suddenly dropped out in his second year.

"His Father and Mother passed away early in a Car Accident. He was later adopted by a middle-aged man named 'Lin Nan'an'. Xu Yuan came to Shanghai City in his twenties. His profession is unknown, and his income is unknown. He stayed in Shanghai City until around the age of thirty-five, then suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"His last known appearance was at the Sapphire Mall. The police also investigated, but the missing person had very weak social connections and no obvious enemies, so the case dragged on until now, remaining an unsolved mystery."

It matches, it all matches.

The "Teacher" from Little Wish's mouth is actually named Lin Nan'an.

He was able to continue living in Shanghai City without a job because he got involved with the Living Person Apartment.

Later, he disappeared at the Sapphire Mall because he was killed by that ghost who liked collecting heads. Before he died, his body was preserved in such a bizarre way.

It seems Zhao Qiang and his people really looked for him for me, instead of just giving me some random information to brush me off.

The Zhao Family, as expected from their background in lending, truly has some strength in finding people. This person, who was so hard to find, he dug up all the information in less than three days.

But, this is still not enough.

This information is for Ordinary People to see, just a part of the iceberg that has surfaced.

What is the real relationship between Xu Yuan and his Teacher Lin Nan'an, how did he arrive at the Living Person Apartment, and how did he complete ten missions to leave; why did he later become the group owner of the Jialan Society, and why did everyone in the Jialan Society die.

Most crucially, what does Xu Yuan, who has become a ghost, truly want, and what is he seeking.

There are too many mysteries surrounding this person; he is one of the keys to the entire Chat Group.

Zhao Qiang's somber voice rang out from the phone again:

"Are you still there, Gao Tian."

Gao Tian snapped back to attention:

"I'm still here, Xiao Qiang."

Zhao Qiang snorted coldly:

"We are currently in a Small County Town in Xu Yuan's Old Home, and we've found the old house his parents left behind.

"After his parents died in a Car Accident, Xu Yuan lived in an orphanage for a while before leaving with that Lin Nan'an. That house has been vacant for over twenty years, and no one has touched it since.

"Xu Yuan came back a few times later, so there must be more things and Information about him inside the house.

"Do you want to come take a look? If you don't, my brothers and I will pry the house open and go in first."

Gao Tian:

"I'm coming.

"Give me an address, and I'll take a taxi over."
