Chapter 337 - 323: Emergency Script Mission: Kill the Resident of 904 [2]

At that moment, everyone was hurrying downstairs.

Suddenly, Hu Qi’s eyes shifted.

A man and a woman appeared up ahead.

They were talking in low voices.

It was Wei Fan and Gao Qian, but Hu Qi’s appearance was currently altered by the Twisted Light.

Naturally, Wei Fan didn’t recognize Hu Qi.

The three of them passed each other, and Hu Qi continued on toward the Sixth Layer.

’Hm? I don’t think I’ve seen this person before.’

Wei Fan frowned slightly, his eyes following Hu Qi’s retreating back.

But this flicker of doubt vanished in an instant.

It was true that the higher the floor, the fewer the people.

Over the past half-month, he had dealt with most of them.

But it was normal that he hadn’t seen everyone; some people were homebodies, and others might be in the middle of a script mission.

Soon.

Hu Qi stopped before a door. The blood-red number plate, [603], gave off an eerie glow in the dim light.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took a step and passed straight through the main door like a ghost, entering the room.

If any other script actors had seen this, they would have been shocked into questioning their own reality.

Without the resident’s permission, no one could take a single step into their room.

This was a rule of the Bloody Apartment.

Even those living on the top three floors could not break this rule.

But now, that rule had somehow been broken.

The apartment was spacious, a full eighty to ninety square meters, and came complete with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and balcony.

Hu Qi walked straight to the bedroom.

On the bed, the sleeping woman seemed to sense the approaching danger.

Her eyes snapped open, and with a rusty Dagger in hand, she lunged at Hu Qi like a bolt of lightning.

However, just as the Dagger was about to touch him, an invisible force blocked it like a shield.

"It’s me!"

Hu Qi’s voice was as calm as still water. At the same time, an invisible ripple of energy surged from his body, instantly enveloping them both.

It cut them off from everything.

The woman, Ouyang Shuokong, was stunned for a moment before she realized who it was and quickly fell to her knees in a bow.

"Greetings, Master. I thought..."

"It’s all right."

Hu Qi waved his hand dismissively and glanced at Ouyang Shuokong.

Her face was deathly pale, and there were even blue-green spots like rust stains dotting her arm.

This made him all the more certain of his previous suspicions.

"This must have been hard on you."

As he spoke, he extended a finger, and a speck of red light shot into Ouyang Shuokong’s body like a shooting star.

The color returned to her deathly pale face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, a faint cracking sound came from within her body, as if some kind of shackle had been broken.

"Thank you, Master!"

Sensing the changes in her body, Ouyang Shuokong was shaken to her core.

For some time, despite diligently cultivating Secret Martial Arts and accumulating Qi Blood Power, she had been stuck at Qi Blood Mirror Perfection, unable to break through.

Her progress was by no means slow, however.

All told, she had been in this world for barely two months.

Reaching such a level was already extremely fast.

But she never expected that Hu Qi’s seemingly casual gesture would not only heal her injuries but also help her break through her bottleneck and step into the Martial Arts Family realm.

Moreover, with her breakthrough, the Dagger Dream Eye that had been on the verge of reawakening fell deathly silent, losing its previous restless energy.

"Tell me what’s been happening."

Hu Qi said.

"Yes. It all started over a week ago, when I followed Wei Fan to a haunted house..."

Ouyang Shuokong recounted the events of the past weeks in detail, holding nothing back.

The course of events was largely as Hu Qi had expected.

Wei Fan’s arrival was clearly deliberate. His purpose was glaringly obvious—he was after the Blood Word Script, the original Dream Eye.

According to the rules, if someone successfully completes fifty script missions, they can ascend to the tenth layer and get the chance to make a wish—a wish that can be anything they desire.

This was Wei Fan’s scheme: to use that wish to gain control over the Blood Word Script.

"However, with Master’s power, completing fifty script missions would be effortless..."

Before Ouyang Shuokong could finish, Hu Qi cut her off.

"Completing fifty script missions gets you to the tenth layer... Does that mean the main body of the Blood Word Script is on the tenth layer?"

Hu Qi asked.

Hearing this, Ouyang Shuokong paused in surprise for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Theoretically, that should be the case."

But her words had barely faded.

Hu Qi nodded, turned, and strode straight out the door.
