The next day, Jun Li was awakened by the noise outside. It seemed that Li Jun was angry with He Rui again, and his voice was so loud that it could be heard across the room.

Bai Ze squinted his eyes slightly in annoyance and shrank into Jun Li's arms. Jun Li knew that Bai Ze liked quietness and comfort, so he kissed his forehead.

"I don't want to sleep anymore. It's too noisy."

Bai Ze was obviously a little annoyed. He stood up, put on his clothes, and motioned Jun Li to go outside with him to check the situation.

Bai Ze had a feeling that new bodies would continue to appear at night. It was only less than six in the morning...

Jun Li dressed neatly and opened the door, but heard roaring coming from Li Jun's room next door.

The two men did not intend to meddle in other people's business and quietly left the house, but they did not see the body in the stairwell.

"This building has eight floors. We will check four floors each. After we find the body, we will use voice transmission to contact each other."

Bai Ze looked up at the fifth floor where they were and turned his head to ask, "Are you checking the four floors above or below?"

"Let me go up. It's okay if I'm a little tired going upstairs than going downstairs, but I can't let my wife get tired."

Jun Li took the opportunity to peck Bai Ze, then he went up to the sixth floor with a triumphant smile on his face. Bai Ze was caught off guard by the sneak attack, and when he came to his senses, the other party had disappeared. He sighed helplessly and cursed, "You rascal."

Jun Li was full of energy after the successful sneak attack. When he passed the sixth floor, he took another look at the open door. The body was still lying in the middle of the living room...

Jun Li always felt something was strange but couldn't put his finger on it. He subconsciously glanced at the peeper opposite him, but today he didn't see the pair of eyes hiding in the dark.

After finding the body, I have to find a way to find out what the other side saw that night...

Jun Li hesitated for a moment and finally walked into the open door. He had not carefully checked the body after finding it yesterday, so perhaps he had missed something...

The wax on the table had long since dried and solidified, and not far away there was a sharp Tang sword...

Jun Li noticed that the body was lying on the ground, which meant that the deceased must have seen the strange creature and was hit by it from the front and killed...

"If only the dead could talk... just tell us who killed you..."

Jun Li stood up and looked around but didn't find anything else. He was a little disappointed... Why can't the corpse speak...

Without finding anything else, Jun Li simply continued walking upstairs. At this time, all the residents' doors were closed, and the only sound in the entire corridor was Jun Li's light footsteps.

It was not until he reached the seventh floor that Jun Li smelled the strong smell of rust again. He shuddered and cautiously slowed down his pace, only to see a headless corpse lying in the middle of the corridor on the eighth floor...but this time Jun Li did not look for the corpse's head.

...

Bai Ze, with his hands in his pockets, obviously sensed a hint of something unusual. He walked down step by step decisively until he reached the first floor and stopped.

In the corner with spider webs hanging on it, under a round object like a ball, there was blood that had long since dried up…

Bai Ze didn't seem to want to dirty his fingers, and he kicked the head out tentatively. The head rolled all the way until it hit the wall and stopped.

"A...human head..."

Bai Ze frowned slightly and was silent for a moment before recalling the scene just now when he went downstairs. It seemed that no door of any house was open... so this head could only be...

He slowly closed his eyes, opened his thin lips slightly, and then spoke softly: "Jun Li, can you hear me?"

Just as Jun Li was about to check the body, he received Bai Ze's "voice transmission". He nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes, Bai Ze, I found a headless body on the eighth floor, but I searched his house and didn't find the head."

Bai Ze chuckled when he heard this... As expected...

"I have his head here."

Bai Ze looked at the head with dust on its face and whispered, "But why did the strange creature start to... dismember the body this time..."

"It seems to be eager to tell everyone that someone is dead here..."

Bai Ze pursed his lips and squatted down to check the head again. He suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and gently opened the mouth of the skull.

A blood-stained note mixed with smelly saliva lay quietly in the mouth of the head.

Bai Ze didn't care about the dirt at this time. He carefully picked up the note and slowly opened it. The note was soaked in blood and would be torn into pieces if he was not careful. He looked at the handwriting on the note and then read out in a low voice: "Innocent variables, once the killing begins, it cannot be stopped. They will pay the price for the sins they have committed, and you... I will give you a choice..."

"Let the silent speak...let the bystanders take action...let the door that cannot be knocked open for me..."

"I am in this building called Sin...waiting for you to find me...waiting for you to uncover the sins that you do not want to be mentioned."

After Bai Ze finished reading the note, he gently put it away. Jun Li leaned in the corner and thought about the contents of the note over and over again in his mind.

"Innocent variables... are you referring to us who entered the residential building for unknown reasons and were implicated...?"

"Well, judging from the current situation, this evil spirit is not as violent as last time. It doesn't seem to want to implicate innocent people, but it can't stop killing people."

Bai Ze kicked the head away like a ball, a dark current flashed through his light blue pupils: "Perhaps our direction is correct. Li Gui suffered inhumane torture in his life, so he began to retaliate, but he did not want to implicate innocent people and was unwilling to open the cage that had been set up..."

"Since we are given a choice, there should be two ways to end everything..."

Jun Li nodded and whispered: "Let the silent speak... let the bystanders take action... let the door that cannot be knocked open for me. It means that we can uncover the secrets of this building and its residents, but is there another choice?"

"There is another option..."

"I am in this building called Sin...waiting for you to find me..."

Bai Ze opened his eyes and said word by word: "Either uncover the secret of this building or find the person who was replaced by Li Gui!"

Jun Li was silent for a moment and then spoke softly, "I'm going to look for you now. It's obviously not realistic to just look for clues on the corpse. What we should be looking for now is not the corpse or the evildoer... but the living people who are hiding secrets."

"Well, I'm on the first floor, come over."

Bai Ze disconnected the "voice transmission" and leaned against the wall, quietly waiting for Jun Li. Jun Li went downstairs and quickly rushed from the top floor to the first floor in a short while.

Bai Ze glanced at him and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Jun Li didn't care about that and eagerly asked for the blood-stained note.

"Bai Ze...what do you mean by the Silent One..."

Jun Li pursed his lips and read the note over and over again, whispering: "What is the definition of a silent person..."

"do not know."

Bai Ze sighed and said softly: "Jun Li, we don't have much time left. I know why Li Gui wants to dismember the body."

Jun Li was slightly stunned and suddenly had a bad premonition. Bai Ze glanced at him and said, "Jun Li, how can we quickly let a group of people know that someone has died here?"

Jun Li's eyes narrowed and he spoke slowly: "What you mean is..."

"Although the first body was also separated from the head, it was not dumped. Therefore, the first people who would know that someone was dead would be the residents on the sixth floor and above."

"Because they need to go downstairs, and people below the sixth floor don't usually need to go upstairs."

Jun Li suddenly understood: "So this will lead to a difference in the speed of information transmission! The first ones to know are definitely the residents closest to the body, and since the residents downstairs don't need to go upstairs, it may take a long time for them to know that someone has died in a building."

"That's right, and this time the body was disposed of with great care."

Bai Ze looked up at the head that he had kicked open and said in a deep voice: "The dead person was a resident on the eighth floor. His body was thrown openly in the corridor, and his head was thrown on the first floor..."

"The blood stains from the corpse bumping against the head and rolling and scraping are enough to prove to everyone that another person has died here."

Jun Li nodded and thought for a moment before speaking: "Li Gui wanted to let the residents know that someone had died here as soon as possible, in order to shorten the time of panic and let the situation in the entire building quickly evolve into the worst we imagined..."
