Because Su Qi's knife was still on his neck. Although his smile looked harmless, his tone was cold and indifferent, as if he would kill him if he didn't explain. "So can you explain to me what's going on now?"
The tentacle man trembled and said, "Didn't you read the apartment notice when you moved in?"
"For example?"
"The apartment manager will prepare food on the first floor. When the bell rings, it notifies all residents to gather in the dining room on the first floor for dinner. The apartment manager doesn't like others to see his face, so he will return to his own residence, which is on the third floor, at mealtime."
"What will happen once you see it?" Su Qi asked with a hint of curiosity.
"The last occupant of Room 5 didn't have time to return to his room. I never saw him again, and then you moved in."
Su Qi: "So it seems that you were the one who saved me just now? Thank you so much."
“You’re welcome.” The tentacle man wanted to cry but had no tears, but could you please put the knife down when you say thank you?
now.
The sound of a door opening was heard outside, and footsteps were heard in the corridor one after another.
"It's time to go out for dinner." The tentacle man said quickly, "The apartment notice is on the first floor, you can go and take a look."
Su Qi put the butcher knife into the inventory. In the copy, if you want to take something from the inventory, it will not appear out of thin air. It will automatically connect to various pockets or linings on the clothes. If you want to use it, you can just reach out from where others can't see and take the item out.
The same goes for storage.
After the door opens.
Then he saw a strange man wrapped in bandages, with only one eye sticking out from the gap. He did not change after seeing the tentacle man, but after noticing Su Qi next to him, his eyes suddenly widened, revealing an extremely crazy and greedy look.
It doesn't say anything.
Then walk towards the stairs to the first floor.
Su Qi looked at the words "It wants to eat you" on the bandaged monster's head, and went to the first floor with the tentacle man without saying a word.
The tentacle man whispered, "Be careful, don't mess with other people, they are very scary."
There are six guests in total.
Two others have already sat down.
One was a slit-faced woman with gray eyes and all kinds of stitches all over her body.
Another resident was a man with a lump of strange abscess-like tissue on his back.
The last person.
It arrived the latest, wearing a robe covering its face, but one could vaguely see that its body was rotten and there was a foul odor, just like a corpse.
This guy seems to live in room 6, which is the one closest to the third floor.
The common point among these people was the moment when Su Qi appeared.
All eyes were focused on him, surprise appeared in their eyes, and then greedy desire emerged.
They all want to eat you
Okay.
Everyone's purpose is the same and simple.
The tentacle man lowered his head and sat down tremblingly, not daring to speak in front of these monsters.
Su Qi pulled out a chair but did not sit down. Facing the greedy, ant-like gazes, he smiled and said, "Everyone, look at me. I have something to announce."
"I'm a new tenant, Su Buxian. I'm very happy to be your neighbor. I have many hobbies and hope to get along well with you all."
Su Qi's words made these weirdos chuckle a little, and the expressions on their faces seemed to be mocking.
It’s very nice to be neighbors and communicate with each other, hehe.
Only the corpse lowered his head and uttered a hoarse voice: "Let's eat first, or it will get cold."
The food in front of each person on the table was covered with a dinner lid, with a knife and fork next to it.
Su Qi opened the lid and the food inside the plate was beyond his expectations.
The aroma of red wine diffused in the sauce, and when poured on half a steak, it actually seemed quite delicious.
The others seemed to be starving and started eating first.
The bandaged man held a knife and fork, and cut the steak on the plate with great force, making a crunching sound, while his eyes were fixed on Su Qi.
It was as if what was being cut was not the piece of meat, but Suqi himself.
The slit-mouthed woman opened her mouth wide, revealing rows of sharp teeth, and bit the steak making chewing sounds, as if she was chewing wax. She was also staring at Su Qi, as if she was trying to make fun of him.
The lump man and the corpse man didn't look at Su Qi, but just ate voraciously.
The tentacle man was a little transparent and didn't even dare to make a sound when eating.
Su Qi picked up the knife and fork and cut the steak.
This is a normal piece of meat, but it is also quite special. A system message popped up on it.
[After eating, your mental strength will be -1, but you will gain a special ability]
[Note: You will die when your mental power reaches zero (you can recover by returning to the login space)]
Reduce it a little?
Su Qi looked at his 85 points of mental strength and thought it was not a big problem.
After eating.
As expected, his mental strength decreased by 1, but at the same time, Su Qi also felt that a strange and special power was being activated.
He felt itchy in the middle of his palm, and then a strange eye slowly appeared.
[You gain temporary ability: Palm Eye]
[When it is activated, it will emit a dazzling light]
"What a useless ability."
When the others saw the eyeball appear in Su Qi's palm, no one showed any strange expression. Instead, their eyes were cold, as if they were mocking him.
Suki noticed this too.
He had a guess.
at this time.
Everyone finished their meal, and the corpse man said hoarsely, "Who's on duty today?"
The tentacle man trembled and raised his tentacles in fear: "I"
"Then I'll leave it to you." The corpse man showed an ugly smile, which was terrifying: "I hope you won't be the next one to disappear."
The corpse man stood up, and under Su Qi's somewhat strange gaze, he walked up the stairs and returned to his room on the second floor.
The others also left one after another, but they all turned back to look at Su Qi, without concealing the greed in their eyes.
soon.
The only ones left here were the tentacle man collecting the plates and.
Suki is looking at the apartment sign.
Chapter 10 Main Quest Triggered
【Apartment Notice】
【1. Do not have any contact with the administrator】
[2. The administrator is responsible for cooking and notifying guests of meals]
[3. Every day, one resident will be assigned to take turns on duty according to their room number. The duties include clearing the dining room dishes, cleaning the first floor, and buying food for tomorrow]
[4. No guests are allowed to enter the third floor area]
This notice is a bit old and the writing on it is not new, which means that the rules on it were set a long time ago.
Even though the tenants of this apartment may have changed several times, it has not changed.
"It seems normal, but judging from the strange situation in the apartment, each one seems to be fatally dangerous, for example."
Su Qi turned his head and looked at the tentacle man on duty today. He was holding a tray with his tentacles and standing outside the kitchen trembling all over, not daring to go in, with a look of fear on his face.
"If you keep shaking, the plate will fall."
The tentacle man was startled to see that Su Qi was still on the first floor. He trembled and whispered, "Go back to the room quickly. It's my turn today. There's no need to drag you down."
Su Qi said: "Then tell me what the situation is like here."
"And my palm eye"
His palm eyes are tightly closed, and he will only open them when activated.
The tentacle man looked at Su Qi strangely and was silent for a moment: "It seems that you are an outsider. No wonder you don't know anything and have not been contaminated."
He waved his tentacles and said, "We are all polluted people. Although the pollution has given us special abilities, if we are exposed to it for a long time, we will all suffer mental breakdown and turn into monsters completely."
"There are many terrible things on the first floor. Every resident must be very careful when on duty. If they make mistakes, they will become more polluted."
Suqi soon realized what the pollution he was talking about was.
Because some sauce from the plate accidentally fell onto the carpet, a terrifying low roar came from the kitchen.
then.
The tentacle man stiffened.
Su Qi also felt a trance like tinnitus.
[Spiritual Strength -1]
It turned out to be the case.
To put it simply, it means losing san value, which is reflected in the numerical value as a reduction in mental strength. The lower the mental strength, the more serious the monsterization.
But the tentacle man's reaction seemed to be more violent. Not only was his whole body trembling, but his tentacles were also spraying water out.
Is this scary?
Suki dodged the water and then steadied the dinner plate in his hand, otherwise the plate would break and something more terrible was expected to happen.
