After this incident, all plans to go to KTV in the evening were ruined. The few of them lost mood and just ate their meal and went to the guest room to rest.

Jun Li sat on a chair in the guest room, looking at Bai Ze and waiting for him to speak. Sure enough, after confirming that there was no other movement around, Bai Ze slowly approached and said very seriously: "Jun Li, this time the trick is very different."

"It was the same as Wang Yue. I could hardly sense any extra aura from it. The only thing was the strong residual aura from the corpse. But I couldn't sense how or where Li Gui left after killing the person."

Bai Ze frowned slightly and was silent for a moment before saying, "I have a guess. Is it possible that Li Gui is a human-ghost hybrid like Wang Yue? But I don't understand if that's the case..."

Jun Li nodded and said what Bai Ze hadn't finished saying: "What you don't understand is that the last time Wang Yue and Wang Ya were able to coexist was because they were sisters, so they were willing to share their bodies. But if the same situation happens in this building... it's too much of a coincidence."

"Wang Ya was young and didn't realize the difference between her sister and ordinary people, so it was relatively easy for her to coexist with her sister. But as an adult, how could she be at ease coexisting with a strange creature?"

Jun Li stroked his chin and fell into deep thought. Bai Ze, who was sitting beside the bed, suddenly said, "Jun Li, do you remember what I said before that if a person's Yang Qi is exhausted, he will be possessed by evil spirits?"

Jun Li was stunned for two seconds: "You mean..."

"Is it possible... that there is already a person living in this building... who is no longer a human..."

Bai Ze's words made Jun Li roll his Adam's apple with some difficulty. Bai Ze continued, "As long as the person's Yang Qi is only being consumed and not completely gone, then it can be achieved in disguised form."

"And the Yang energy that has not been completely consumed becomes the best cover for Li Gui. It can possess Yang energy while replacing a person's body, so no one will notice it."

Jun Li suddenly felt confused. He looked at Bai Ze and asked, "Is there anyone who has a ghost around him like me?"

Bai Ze smiled lightly and said helplessly: "In fact, it is not necessary for the strange creature to appear next to a person in order to consume Yang energy. Objects with Yin energy or things used by dead people can also carry Yin energy."

"If you keep these things with you or carry them close to you all day, your Yang energy will be depleted very quickly."

"Keep Li Gui's belongings with you..."

Jun Li muttered to himself, but there were too few clues now and he couldn't figure it out. He remembered something and looked at Bai Ze and said, "Do you feel that there is something wrong with these residents?"

"Something's wrong?"

Bai Ze thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't understand the way you humans behave, so I can't see anything wrong."

Jun Li told Bai Ze about the strange behaviors of the residents and the weird peeping of the neighbors across the street. Bai Ze stood up slowly after hearing this: "Jun Li, it's useless to think about these things now."

He took the cold tea from the tea table and poured a cup for Jun Li. He said softly, "It is unrealistic to infer the motivation for Li Gui's murder based on just one corpse and one incident of Li Gui's murder."

"Since Li Gui locked the first floor after killing that person and prevented everyone from leaving, it means that in his opinion, the people who deserved to die have not been killed yet..."

Jun Li took a sip of tea and looked at Bai Ze: "Then what we need to do now is to find Li Gui, so that we can put an end to all this and open the door, but... it has taken over someone else's body, how can we find it?"

Bai Ze chuckled: "Li Gui would kill people only because of some deep hatred. Since the dead person is a resident of this building, and he locked the door, it is obvious that his target is still the resident of this building..."

Bai Ze's light blue eyes glowed faintly: "Since the target is clear, then something tragic must have happened in this building before, which led to Li Gui's crazy revenge on the residents..."

"As long as we can find out the secret of this building, the secret that the residents are hiding together... then everything will become traceable."

Jun Li was slightly stunned and looked at Bai Ze with approval, his voice was filled with a hint of doting: "My little wife is really amazing, her mind works so quickly!"

Bai Ze's ears flushed suspiciously when he heard that, then he turned his head and snorted coldly: "You are too stupid and you only go into a dead end and don't know how to look at the problem from a disguised perspective."

Jun Li scratched his head helplessly and laughed a few times: "Yes, yes, I can't do it without you, little wife~ Then come over and give your husband a kiss, okay?"

Bai Ze rolled his eyes but still leaned over and kissed Jun Li on the face. Jun Li then breathed a sigh of satisfaction and said softly, "Then we will go investigate the residential building tomorrow. However, asking directly will definitely alert the enemy. Since this is a tragedy that no one wants to talk about, our investigation will definitely make people on guard."

"in addition…"

Jun Li was still thinking about the weird peeper next door. He put one hand around Bai Ze's waist and thought for a moment before saying, "I was thinking... should we start from the house next door to the first murder case? He should be able to see or hear something since they are so close..."

"Plus, he was acting strange this morning...he was sneaking around..."

Bai Ze nodded gently when he heard this, turned his head and leaned into Jun Li's arms and said softly: "Do everything according to your wishes, I will listen to you."

"Don't worry if you're heading in the wrong direction. This is only the first case of Li Gui killing people. There will be more and more in the future. In fact, we don't have to worry about anything. Once Li Gui kills all the people he wants to kill, the door will naturally open..."

Bai Ze paused and then narrowed his eyes: "It's just... these residents are the biggest changes."

"Well, if people notice that there are more and more murders and more and more deaths, they will start to become suspicious of each other and will definitely think that the murderer is in this building. If there are impulsive residents, the situation will probably get worse and worse."

"Before the evildoer has even started, the person will have already pushed himself into the abyss. Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, trust will collapse in an instant. At that time, everyone will look like a murderer to them. A completely closed residential building without police is like an isolated island without any order, civilization or law... No matter what dirty things are done inside, no one will know."

Jun Li is well aware of the importance of time. Once the number of deaths exceeds people's psychological tolerance, civilization and order will collapse.

Bai Ze looked at Jun Li and whispered, "I feel like someone will die tonight. The more Li Gui kills people, the more uneasy he feels..."

Jun Li heard Bai Ze's uneasiness and gently squeezed his palm to comfort him softly: "Trust me, nothing will happen as long as I'm here."

"Um…"

...

At this time, the first floor was already surrounded by residents. They were anxiously and angrily pounding on the locked iron door. Some were wandering around the corners anxiously, and some were trying to contact the police.

"Fuck, that security guard is fucking dead outside! He didn't even answer the phone, secretly changed the locks and locked everyone in our building inside!"

"Have you contacted the police? My wife might be about to give birth soon! What should I do if they keep delaying and not opening the door?!"

"Bang bang bang!!"

The angry residents tried neither to budge the iron gate with kitchen knives nor electric saws, but they failed. Just as the verbal abuse grew louder, a man in the crowd spoke up to calm everyone down.

"Everyone, listen to me. It's almost one in the morning. Waiting like this is not a solution. Why don't you go home and continue to try to get in touch with the outside world and tell them that we're trapped!"

The man's loud and powerful voice was like a reassurance in the agitated crowd, gradually calming everyone.

"Also, if you know anyone in other apartment buildings, please try to contact them to see if this is the only case in our building or if it has happened in other buildings as well!"

"Also, don't complain during this special period. Look after each other. There have been repeated power outages recently. If you have candles at home, please lend them to each other!"

Everyone responded and thought he was right, so they complained a few words and went home.

As the man said, two hours after everyone went home, the whole building suddenly fell into darkness again...

In the pitch-dark corridor, a slightly bloated and sturdy "person" was dragging something unknown and throwing it down from the upper floor.

The spherical object rolled down the stairs and then hit the wall and slowly stopped...
