Chapter 83 Waste Utilization
Upon hearing the footsteps, Lin Yue immediately sat up, ready for anything.
He's now finding it hard to distinguish the true identities of things outside.
If it were a ghost, that would be fine.
This is considered a normal situation.
But if that clown comes chasing after him... he'll lose all face.
We were just doing that analysis a moment ago.
The dangerous clown had given up on stealing anything from the two men.
Then, a few seconds later, someone came chasing after him from behind.
That's a slap in the face.
Fortunately, the foxy woman didn't notice these small details; she was nervously watching the doorway.
Lin Yue looked away and gestured.
Do not make a sound.
The fox-woman nodded quickly.
The footsteps outside were still echoing.
"Tap tap—tap tap—"
Then, without knowing where the thing outside had gone, they suddenly heard the sound of shaking the doorknob again.
"Splash, splash—"
Lin Yue's eyes darted around.
Is that guy outside trying to open the door to room 205?
He wanted to find a house where people could live.
In other words, a living person came?
"Tap tap—"
"Splash, splash—"
The person outside found a second room, shook the doorknob, and this time it was room 207.
Lin Yue was certain that the person outside was a living person, and someone who, like herself, had looked at the resident registration form at the front desk.
But it shouldn't be that clown.
According to his analysis, the clown should have some kind of ability to sense strange relics at close range.
If it's that guy who comes.
He would definitely head straight for room 211.
Instead of running into obstacles in the other two houses where people live.
"If it's not a clown, and it's not a ghost, then who is this person?" Lin Yue was full of questions.
I waited a few seconds.
The person outside finally left, which was the doorway of Lin Yue's room.
The fox woman was extremely nervous; her limbs were tense.
The room was very small, less than 30 square meters, and the two of them didn't even have a place to hide.
Under these circumstances, the door was slowly pushed open.
Then someone they never expected walked in.
That scarred face.
This person is still alive?
The scarred mask seemed quite surprised to see two other people in the room. He remained in the open-door position for a few seconds before finally entering the room and closing the door.
While he was closing the door.
The fox woman saw that the scarred man appeared to be seriously injured.
It looked like a chunk of flesh had been bitten off his shoulder; a large piece was missing.
He was clearly attacked by evil spirits on his way here.
But they shouldn't be employees in black uniforms.
After all, that thing is dangerous enough to kill a human instantly.
If someone actually encounters that thing, they have no reason to survive.
"boom--"
The door closed.
Scarface, with his back to them, suddenly laughed, his shoulders trembling.
"Hehehe..."
The fox-woman frowned.
In her eyes, this scarred man was no good either. His lecherous gaze from before still made her uncomfortable, and now his neurotic behavior only deepened her disgust.
"We're incredibly lucky," Scarface chuckled.
"What do you mean by 'good luck'?" Lin Yue asked.
"To think I'd run into the two of you." Scarface turned around, his pupils gleaming with a sinister crimson light. "I now have two extra baits by my side. Isn't that good luck?"
After saying that, he took out the axe that was still stained with blood and said menacingly.
"I'll chop off your hands and feet first, then when the ghosts come, I'll throw you out to buy time. That way, we should be able to wait until after midnight, right? Isn't that good luck?"
The fox-like woman reached out and hooked the zipper of the backpack.
But after glancing at the reassuring paper bag face beside her, she hesitated before loosening her grip.
Lin Yue nodded in understanding.
"I didn't know there was such a way. How come I didn't think of that before? It's a good opportunity to make use of you."
Scarface looked at the axe in his hand as if he had heard a very funny joke.
"You don't think the two of you can beat me, do you? Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm a genuine sixth-dan kendo master. I can kill you both in less than three seconds."
He raised the axe, his smile bordering on maniacal.
It's clear that he was ultimately affected by the environment here, which corrupted his mind and made him somewhat mentally unstable.
"You two, do me a favor and let me out!"
Lin Yue's lips twitched.
He simply and decisively pulled out his pistol and aimed it at the scarred man.
When Scarface saw the thing in Lin Yue's hand, he trembled involuntarily and stopped moving.
He sneered, "Hmph, who are you trying to scare with that toy gun?"
Lin Yue didn't say a word. In front of him, she cocked the gun, released the safety, and aimed it at him again.
"Click—"
When that realistic and extremely textured mechanical sound came.
Scarface broke out in a sweat instantly, and his mind cleared up considerably.
What this kid has in his hand... seems to be real.
No, am I abroad?
Why does this kid have a real gun?
The fox woman looked away as the scarred man stood frozen in place—she felt embarrassed for him, having spouted such a long string of nonsense as if he were about to rush up and chop someone up at any moment.
As a result, the other party pulled out a gun?
Are you really that good at Kendo with your sixth dan?
My lord, times have changed!
Lin Yue asked, "Do you still think this is a toy gun?"
The scarred man was sweating profusely. "Uh, hard to say."
Lin Yue ignored his stubbornness and said directly, "Now you'll do as you just said, cut off your own hands and feet, and use them as bait for us, understand?"
Scarface's arm trembled.
Finally, he simply threw the axe on the ground, put his hands behind his head, and squatted down.
He said dejectedly, "Brother, I was wrong, please let me go?"
The fox woman "..."
"Hmph." Lin Yue snorted coldly. "Go squat in the corner."
The scarred man hopped and skipped to the corner like a frog.
Seeing this, the fox-woman looked anxious and quickly grabbed Lin Yue, whispering, "Are you going to let this guy go? He's so dangerous. He just said he'd cut off our hands and feet to use as bait to buy time. This isn't the time to play the saint."
After saying that, she raised her hand and wiped her neck.
This implies that Lin Yue should get rid of this guy now to prevent future trouble.
Lin Yue glanced indifferently at the guy in the corner and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm not that saintly. I just suddenly realized... what he just said is actually a good idea."
The fox woman "..."
She suddenly realized.
This guy is actually quite dangerous.
Is there anyone else in this building besides myself who is normal?
