Chapter 67 The Curse That Cannot Be Escaped

"Clang, clang, clang—"

The sound of the doorknob grew increasingly hysterical.

Each loud bang felt like it was hitting Lin Yue's heart muscle.

If it's a regular residential building.

Such a commotion has already drawn complaints from others.

But this is Pingxiangyuan, so even if you want to file a complaint, you probably won't find a single "person" to accept it.

Lin Yue is quite nervous right now.

The heart-splitting knife was gripped tightly in his hand.

"If that thing gets in, stab it right away!"

However, he rejected this idea as soon as it came to him.

The method of using a stabbing knife to save one's life is not inherently problematic.

But that crazy woman kept swaying like that.

This gate is definitely doomed.

Based on the information on the note, this door is likely an important item for protecting living guests.

If it really gets destroyed.

He was practically naked and completely unprotected standing in this eerie Pingxiang Garden.

Therefore, we can't wait until that crazy woman comes in before dealing with her; we have to kill her before she comes in.

With this thought in mind, Lin Yue's eyes darted around.

"Clang, clang—"

The doorknob was still shaking.

The screws on top are becoming increasingly fragile.

He quickly took the broken Barbie doll from the bottom shelf of the bedside table.

I opened the window and glanced at the room next door on the right, the room where they had just been chopping meat.

The room was pitch black.

The only thing visible on the window surface was some kind of sacrificial item, resembling ribbons and white banners.

It's as if all the previous sounds of chopping meat and groans were fake.

But Lin Yue didn't care about any of that.

He grabbed the Barbie doll and smashed it hard against the window.

"Bang--!"

The already pitiful Barbie doll was flung out of the window and landed downstairs.

Lin Yue quickly closed the window.

He pulled his head back in.

He stared intently at the swaying doorknob once more.

His palms were sweaty.

Because he had no idea whether his provocative actions would attract the attention of his neighbor on the right.

Judging from the current situation...

Basically, there are only three possibilities.

If things go wrong and there's no response from next door, the madwoman will break down the door. You'll have no choice but to fight her to the death, but even if you win, you'll lose the protection of the door.

Secondly, if there's a reaction from next door, then after the butcher comes out of his own house, he'll definitely bump into the crazy woman in the hallway. At that time, the two of them are very likely to have a conflict, just like lions invading each other's territory.

The worst case scenario is that the neighbor reacted, but after coming out, not only did they not bump into the crazy woman, they even joined forces. If that's the case... then the Heart-Slicing Knife probably won't be effective.

However, when he opened the window, he saw that there was a narrow strip of eaves, only two or three centimeters wide, along the edge of the window. In the worst-case scenario, he would have to jump out of the window and try to find a way out by imitating Jackie Chan and Spider-Man.

Lin Yue silently counted down from ten in her mind.

He had decided that once he counted to 0, he would assume that the neighbor wouldn't react, and before the door broke, he would simply open it and use the heart-splitting knife to drive the crazy woman away.

"Clang, clang, clang—!"

Amidst the violent shaking, Lin Yue counted down little by little.

"Nine."

"eight."

······

However, before he could even count to "two".

Amidst the noisy shaking, he heard the door next door suddenly open.

"Squeak—"

The sound of the bolt turning was quite noticeable even under these circumstances.

Lin Yue's pupils narrowed.

In that very instant.

The sound of the doorknob shaking stopped.

The crazy woman stopped shaking the door.

Lin Yue immediately perked up her ears.

I wanted to listen through the door to see what was happening in the hallway outside.

However, no matter how hard he tried to concentrate, he couldn't hear a single sound from outside.

Sweat dripped from Lin Yue's forehead.

"Could it be that these two guys really teamed up?"

He took a few steps backward.

He was ready to open the window at any moment and climb onto the roof to find the only way out.

However, the next second, a violent scream suddenly came from the corridor.

"ah--!!"

The voice sounded like a woman's voice, yet also like some unknown creature; it was so awful that one wished they could gouge their own ears out.

However, just after the screams rang out...

A series of hurried footsteps quickly disappeared into the distance.

"Tap tap tap tap—"

The door of the house next door was also slammed down heavily.

"Thump—!"

Lin Yue was stunned. This was... the crazy woman was chased away by the neighbor who was chopping meat? And then the neighbor who was chopping meat went back into his house?

In short, judging from the sound, that is indeed the case.

He quickly went from the window to the door.

The cat's eyes were still completely black, and it was impossible to see clearly.

But that feeling of unease has subsided considerably.

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief; she was safe for now.

But when his gaze fell on the handle...

His brows furrowed immediately.

After the crazy woman's antics, several screws on the handle have been broken, and they're now stuck inside like earthworms, loose and falling off quite badly.

In this situation, for example.

Lin Yue had serious doubts about whether the lock could hold out for another night.

However, just as he was worrying...

The doorbell rang for the third time.

"Knock knock—"

here we go again?!

Lin Yue immediately became alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Unexpectedly, this time, cries for help came from outside the door.

"Brother, those two monsters are gone. Could you please open the door?"

The voice was held tightly in the throat as if afraid that the noise it made would be heard by something else.

"What's going on this time?" Out of caution, Lin Yue did not respond.

But the person outside the door was trembling with fear, pleading in a low voice.

"Brother, please, open the door. I'm from room 708 across the street."

"The light in my room is broken, so it can't block out the dirt."

"Please, please open the door quickly. I'm afraid if I stay here too long, those things will find me in the hallway. I... I can't hold on any longer."

Lin Yue frowned as she listened.

708?

The house with two garbage bags by the door?

Surprisingly, there were actually other people living inside.

Furthermore, this person also said that the room light was broken, so it couldn't block out the dirty things?

He looked up at the light bulb above his head, its bottom covered in black grime.

Are these lights the same as the main gate? Are they also for protecting the living?

"Brother, I beg you, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a teenage child. I don't want to die," the man pleaded.

Now that we've confirmed that the people outside are alive and there's no danger,

Lin Yue didn't remain silent any longer, but said, "Leave now, I can't help you."

That voice was indeed very pitiful.

But to be honest, he can't even protect himself right now.

Although, judging from the sound of her voice, the crazy woman had been driven away by her neighbor.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing.

Who can guarantee that the crazy woman didn't actually leave, but was just hiding temporarily, waiting to rush in and kill him as soon as she opened the door?

Moreover, the neighbors next door are also in great danger. What if they come out again?

In this Pingxiang Garden, there are more dead people than living people.

Opening the door could trigger a series of disastrous consequences, plunging you into an abyss.

Being soft-hearted and acting like a saint at this time is no different from courting death.

Reminding him to hurry up and not waste time here is already more than enough.

However, it was clear that this one sentence was not enough to persuade the person outside to leave.

"Brother, I'm begging you, I won't let you open the door for nothing."

"I know some extremely important news."

Important news? Lin Yue remained silent.

The man continued, "Let me tell you, there are no strange relics in this place at all, and once you register at the entrance, you will be cursed by this place and will never be able to leave for the rest of your life."

"We can only wait to die in fear every night!"

"Just like those unlucky receptionists."

"However, I know there is a secret passage leading out from Building 1."

"If I can survive tonight, I'll take you out with me! To get rid of this hellhole forever."
