Chapter 68 Murder Based on Rules!
Su Wanyue suddenly sat up in bed, and Zhao Hai also quickly got up.
As soon as the door opened, Zhao Hai saw Chen Zhifu and a large group of people gathered outside, all looking tense and surrounding a room.
As Zhao Hai walked over, he smelled a strong stench of blood.
In the bathroom of that room, crimson blood flowed out!
The mangled flesh of the corpse was scattered on the yellowed tiles, a horrifying sight.
One room, and both of them are dead!
They all died in the bathroom.
"Do you remember who lived here?" Zhao Hai asked in a deep voice.
"If I remember correctly, an elderly couple lives here!" one of the middle-aged men said.
She then added, "He's a very honest person, not the type to break the rules casually."
"Who they are doesn't matter, the important thing is that they are dead!" Zhou Jian'an and Xu Wenchu, along with several other Transcendent beings, also arrived at this time.
Xu Wenchu remained silent, but went inside to check. When he saw the bloody scene in the bathroom, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This is no ordinary death!
The body was torn to pieces, clearly a bizarre occurrence after the rules were triggered.
Even a human, after working all night, would find it difficult to decompose a corpse to such an extent without tools.
Zhao Hai also noticed that there was a task written on the bathroom mirror.
Clean a rusty showerhead in three hours!
Outside, the middle-aged man who had just spoken spoke with a trembling voice, saying cautiously, "Brother Hai, before the apocalypse, Brother Tian worked on construction sites. He had experience with plumbing, electrical work, and carpentry. Seeing this mission, he must think it's not too difficult, so..."
The crowd remained silent, and many felt a surge of relief.
Most people are not stupid and did not rush to complete the task immediately.
A small number of intelligent people, perhaps sensing the contradictions in the task, dared not attempt it lightly.
But everyone had only one thought in mind—to delay, not to be the first to step forward, and to wait until others had finished their tasks before doing theirs.
Only a few people truly dare to take the risks.
Zhao Hai rested his chin on his hand, his mood becoming somewhat somber.
It doesn't matter if people die! After all, this is a rule-based supernatural event; how could people not die?
The important thing is the problems that emerge after someone dies.
"I was right, the mission and the rules are in conflict. If we complete it rashly, we'll only face death!" Xu Wenchu said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jian'an's expression also turned grim as he said, "But failing to complete the mission is also a violation of the rules, and death is inevitable!"
As he spoke, he suddenly looked up at the group and asked, "Who among you has completed the mission?"
The passageway was completely silent.
A few seconds later, an old man hesitated for a long time before slowly raising his hand:
"I...I've finished!"
Immediately, everyone's attention turned to that direction.
Zhou Jian'an quickly stepped forward and grabbed the old man's shoulder: "What was your mission? How did you complete it?"
Although Zhou Jian'an is not in the combat sequence, he is a guide in the sequence 2. His body has been enhanced twice, making him far superior to ordinary people.
"I...I...I..."
The old man's shoulder was gripped so tightly by Zhou Jian'an that it hurt terribly, and he was also quite frightened by Zhou Jian'an, so he couldn't speak for a moment.
Xu Wenchu stepped forward, gestured for him to release his grip, and asked, "Which room?"
"209!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wenchu and his group also arrived at 209.
Upon seeing the task displayed on the bathroom mirror, everyone frowned again.
"Repaired the bed frame?!" Zhou Jian'an raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with confusion. "You fixed it?"
The old man nodded: "Reinforcing with a few nails is easy, I'll just do it!"
Hearing this, Zhao Hai was speechless. They were both repairing bed boards, but the other person's job was so simple, while theirs was just ridiculously bad...
Zhao Hai crawled under the bed and saw that a small wooden board had been added to reinforce the broken bed board, and it was even nailed on.
Zhao Hai's lips twitched: "Where did you get the hammer and nails?"
The old man honestly replied, "I took it from the tool shed downstairs. It has everything, but the stuff is a bit old."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
"No wonder they survived! They're incredibly bold!" Chen Zhifu couldn't help but exclaim.
Within the bizarre rules, instead of staying in his room, he ran downstairs to get a hammer and nails to complete the task. That's really something else.
Zhao Hai looked at the nails under the bed, his face full of doubt.
The others around also looked strange and puzzled after checking under the bed.
Why?
Ding Jiawei asked疑惑地问道, "Both were tasks completed, both damaged apartment facilities, so why did one die and the other live? What's the difference between them?"
Zhao Hai was also puzzled; he couldn't understand why either! But he knew there must be some hidden rules involved, only the clues were too few to figure out.
He also wanted to try to find some clues from inside the room.
Unfortunately, everything inside the house was normal.
When he looked at Xu Wenchu, Xu Wenchu's face was also full of confusion.
After searching without success, everyone dispersed and returned to their own rooms.
Xu Wenchu and Wang Hu originally planned to go to Zhao Hai's room to discuss things.
However, Zhao Hai and Su Wanyue refused to let them in no matter what, and when Xu Wenchu asked them about their mission earlier, they stubbornly refused to answer.
"Hai Zi, Wan Yue? You won't let us into your room, could it be related to your mission?" Xu Wenchu guessed.
"Hmm! Our mission is pretty bizarre! We can't let anyone else into our room before we finish repairing things, otherwise we'll be breaking the rules!" Zhao Hai said, spouting nonsense without batting an eye.
"No way! Hai Zi, why are your missions so weird? They're all about repairing things, so why are there so many requirements?" Wang Hu asked, looking puzzled.
"Brother Tiger! I wanted to ask the same thing! Why did this bizarre thing have to happen to us?" Zhao Hai was also on the verge of tears.
Then, the group went to Xu Wenchu's room on the third floor.
Xu Wenchu stood by the window, looking at the bleak and gloomy scenery outside, and asked, "What do you think caused their different endings?"
"have no idea!"
Zhao Hai shook his head, lay lazily on the bed, and held a chocolate in his hand to replenish his energy.
Wang Hu and Su Wanyue both shook their heads.
Zhou Qingya pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it possible that it's because of the tools they used?"
Wang Hu raised an eyebrow: "Aunt Zhou, what do you mean?"
"Aunt Zhou, now that you mention it, I think I understand!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai jumped out of bed.
