Chapter 878: Bloodshed on the Rooftop

Library, first floor.

A large number of police in uniform, as well as people in white coats who could be coroners or medical staff.

They were each doing their jobs on the first floor.

From the look of them, they seemed incredibly professional.

Lin Yu and the others were also here.

They were arranged to sit on chairs and undergo police interrogation.

They told the police everything they knew in complete detail.

And they begged the police to catch those murderers as soon as possible, to avenge their friends.

Lin Yu and the others all looked exhausted. It seemed tonight's experience would be something they'd never forget for the rest of their lives.

But!

They were lucky!

At least they didn't die in tonight's bloody feast.

And the number of people who died tonight was somewhat high.

Of course, most of them were among Lin Yu's group of 14.

The deceased were as follows: Huo Yun, Zeng Yan, Xue Kai, and Zhang Wei.

Eight of Lin Yu's group of 14.

Twelve people died in total tonight.

Live stream room, chat section.

Middle-aged Uncle: [This round has 9 lab rats. Four died in one night, five remaining.]

Fairy Sister: [Those two college graduate security guards were so tragic. They were just sleeping soundly at home when they got dragged into this.]

I am the Hero: [In the martial world, you can't always do as you please. That's exactly what it means to be in Alice Apartment.]

The police investigation and interrogation lasted a long time.

It was almost 3 AM the next morning.

That is, Round 33, Day 2, around 3 AM.

Only then did Lin Yu and the others return to the ground floor of Building No. 2.

After returning to the ground floor of Building No. 2, they still felt like they had been dreaming.

That everything they had experienced was all a dream.

That their friends hadn't died.

That they hadn't faced the murderers either.

But looking back at the people around them, and at the WeChat group chat for the 14 people.

It was still the two messages Lin Yu had sent.

All of this proved that tonight was real.

"An apartment this upscale, I can't wrap my head around how it could be hiding a freak like that..."

The Silver-Haired Guy looked up at Building No. 2 shrouded in the pitch-black sky.

And let out a deep sigh.

The Green-haired Guy adjusted the anti-riot helmet he was still wearing: "Who says it isn't? So many people died."

"Not just our friends, but apartment residents and staff alike."

"It's just that the killer also got away."

"Ugh, if I'd known they were going to die tonight, I would've used their ID cards to take out online loans beforehand."

The Green-haired Guy said with great regret.

Lin Yu and the others could only twitch their mouths at these words.

Damn it, if you'd known in advance that they were going to die tonight and run into this kind of thing, shouldn't you have directly stopped them from going to those places in the first place?

And instead, you're thinking about using their ID cards to take out online loans for yourself?!

Lin Yu and the others all sank into a strange mood.

Lin Yu's girlfriend, the lab rat Zheng Zihan, also wore a worried expression on the surface.

But she was quietly looking at a bank deposit notification on her phone.

And the right corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

The group returned to Zheng Zihan's Room 503.

Taking turns to shower.

By the time everyone had showered, dawn was just beginning to break.

Everyone was gathered in the living room.

No one spoke, no one started a conversation.

All listless.

In the past, they were either playing games or trying to figure out where to scrape up some money to keep their basic daily lives going.

Every day they lived happily enough, going everywhere in a big group.

But now, one by one, they seemed to have no interest in any of that anymore.

Finally, the Silver-Haired Guy spoke up: "Oh yeah, I just remembered something. Do we need to attend funerals or anything?"

He was referring to their friends who had died.

The Green-haired Guy scoffed upon hearing this: "There's not even a hint of that yet. Their families probably haven't even received news of their deaths, let alone claimed the bodies. Why think so far ahead? And even if you go to the funeral, do you have the money to give?"

"Of course, if you're willing to go donate sperm to earn some cash, I'd fully support that."

Lin Yu cut off their potential argument: "Alright, stop thinking about all that. Life goes on!"

"Everyone's tired after the night. Go get some sleep!"

Zheng Zihan was the first to move. She grabbed the Pink Long-Haired Girl's hand and led her into the bedroom.

Clearly, the two girls were going to sleep on the bed.

As for the others, they made do with the sofas in the living room or floor mats.

"Hey, you know what? If it were the original 14 people, this place would really be cramped. But now with 8 fewer people, it feels like so much more space all of a sudden."

The Green-haired Guy lay down on his floor mat, letting out a comfortable sigh.

The Silver-Haired Guy was setting up his own floor mat, looking somewhat disapproving: "Seriously, how come it feels like you're not even sad that they died? You can still crack insensitive jokes like it's none of your business?"

The Green-haired Guy said: "Does being sad have to mean crying to count as sad?"

"Since you're so sad, why don't you go down and keep them company."

Silver-Haired Guy: ???

The Green-haired Guy rolled over: "Though, your question reminds me, that assistant manager guy named Jiang Ran here asked me the same thing before. Hey, speaking of which, the police came and I didn't even see him around. Don't tell me he's dead and buried somewhere?"

...

The time came to 12:20 PM.

The weather in Nancheng City had been abnormal lately.

A few days of sun, a few days of rain.

When it was sunny, it was scorching hot.

When it rained, it was freezing cold.

Today happened to be a clear sunny day, perfect for a family outing or picnic.

Rooftop of Building No. 1.

"Ah... where am I?"

"Huh? This... where is this? The rooftop?"

"What's on me?"

A man in his late twenties, bound hand and foot with ropes, woke up from unconsciousness and began shouting frantically in terror on the rooftop.

It wasn't until he saw another young man a few years younger standing in front of him that he shut his mouth.

Standing before him was a rather handsome young man.

It was none other than Jiang Ran.

Seeing that he was awake, Jiang Ran smiled at him.

But this man in his late twenties shrank his head back in fear.

However, he quickly stretched his neck out again, looking around with effort, and saw another man in his thirties who was also bound hand and foot, lying on the ground just like him.

Immediately, he let out a sigh of relief.

At least there was someone else to keep him company.

Just as he was sighing in relief, a jumbled whimpering sound came to his ears from time to time.

He looked forward, and the sound was coming from behind Jiang Ran.

Noticing his gaze, Jiang Ran smiled and stepped aside to make a path for him.

Gotta say, Jiang Ran was pretty nice.

And after moving aside, he saw this scene.

Three unfamiliar people, also bound hand and foot, and their situation was even more dangerous than his.

Because they were tied onto the narrow ledge at the edge of the rooftop.

If they moved even slightly, they could fall straight off the roof.
