Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 225 Theme Competition: Fortune Apartment ()

Shi Qi frowned as she looked at the warning on the paper, guessing what had happened in the room.

Based on the traces, more than one person died in the room.

In other words, someone may have seen these words and stayed inside, but was still captured by the monster.

In other words, these words may be wrong, or even misleading?

The handwriting...

Shi Qi took out Zhang Cheng's business card and compared it carefully. The colors of the markings and handwriting on the business card were almost the same, and the thickness of the lines also seemed to be the same.

So was it done by the same person, or perhaps it wasn't even a person at all?

While Shi Qi was standing there struggling with whether or not to copy the homework, Gu Shijiu had already made the choice for him and reached out to open the door next to the window.

Behind the door is a bedroom with ordinary furnishings.

The room was ransacked, with scratches on the walls and bed, and a row of storage cabinets right next to the bed.

There were some sports equipment on the top of the locker. Shi Qi handed Gu Shijiu a baseball bat and took a badminton racket for herself.

On the bedside table was a solo photo with the words "Qi Hui at the Children's Park, 20**" written on it.

In the cabinet drawer, a familiar piece of paper came into their view, with red writing on it as well.

Do not enter any new room casually. Each room behind the door is different, and once you enter, you can never go back.

[Find self-defense tools and clothing as soon as possible, and always be aware of potential sources of light, as darkness is their favorite environment.]

Food isn't important; make sure you find your medicine, and try to avoid injury, especially bleeding.

If you enter a room that shows signs of a death, do not linger; leave immediately.

They don't like clean, tidy new rooms; you can stay there a long time, or even hide inside all the time.

It's best to go to a room where there are other people, as they don't like noisy, crowded environments.

Shi Qi felt her brain wasn't working properly, and even Gu Shijiu noticed: "What's written here is different from the previous ones."

Gu Shijiu stared blankly at the note: "What should we do then?"

Shi Qi also had a headache: "Ajiu, what do you think?"

Gu Shijiu pondered deeply: "Since we don't know which one is right, then we shouldn't believe any of them. At worst, I'll just tear down all the rooms."

"That makes sense." Shi Qi opened the door to the next room directly, too lazy to think about it anymore.

The door opened, and a strong smell of blood hit the door. This time, there was someone else inside.

A young girl is diligently searching for something.

Upon hearing the door open, she was clearly terrified, leaping backward and adopting an aggressive stance.

Seeing Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi, he relaxed a little: "Are you...human?"

"That's so rare. Cultivators should still be considered human, right?" Gu Shijiu hesitated for a moment, "Yes... I guess so."

The girl became increasingly suspicious and took two steps back warily.

Gu Shijiu unceremoniously pulled Shi Qi inside, where the smell was even stronger.

"It stinks here! You're amazing, you can stand it." Gu Shijiu praised the girl while covering his nose.

The girl subconsciously touched her nose: "Maybe it's because I'm here every day, I've gotten used to it."

"Are you used to it?" Shi Qi noticed her choice of words.

"Yes, there are many, many rooms here, and there is no end in sight. People often die in them."

The girl's expression was somewhat unfocused, as if she were reminiscing about the past.

Shi Qi chimed in, "We've just arrived. Could you tell us about the situation here?"

"Sure, you don't know anything, you're likely to encounter monsters." The girl seemed to be a kind-hearted person.

"Thank you so much." Shi Qi's face showed gratitude and fear. "We just went into a room and ended up here. It's terrifying."

"That's how it all happened." The girl lowered her eyes. "Have you been to Fuyun Apartment too?"

Shi Qi looked regretful: "We heard it was a haunted house and wanted to explore it. Sigh—is that why we came in?"

"I don't know about that, but I did go there before I came in."

The girl's voice was calm, and suddenly a huge red mouth protruded from behind Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi.

The mouthparts are connected to blood vessels and extend into the floor, where countless unseen blood vessels continue to extend forward.

“Here, some people are eaten by monsters,” the girl continued, “while others slowly become monsters themselves.”

Before they mutate, monsters are very similar to humans in appearance, making them difficult to distinguish.

A coldness settled over the girl's calm face.

The mouthparts behind Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi were slowly probing closer, like snakes hunting and poised to strike.

"You all must be very careful from now on, and never go near strangers. Of course, that's assuming you still have—ah!!"

With a loud crack, Gu Shijiu delivered a flying kick, striking her squarely in the chest.

The girl let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground, her chest caved in—her bones were broken.

The fleshy red mouthparts were no longer hidden; they pierced through the floor and lunged at Gu Shijiu, who seemed to be a weak point.

Gu Shijiu swung the baseball bat and smashed it down, causing several blood vessels to burst, splattering blood all over the ground.

Its mouthparts slid softly to the ground, bounced a few times, and then disappeared.

The girl seemed like a harmless, ordinary person again.

The live stream chat was filled with delight.

"Hahaha, it's time for my favorite violent moment again."

"What was that monster thinking, daring to cause trouble first?"

The menacing monster had stopped moving. Just as Gu Shijiu was about to deliver a finishing blow, another older woman suddenly entered through the door.

"Don't move, hands up." The woman held up a rather strange-looking gun, a red dot aimed at Shi Qi's forehead.

As soon as she entered, she saw two ordinary humans commit murder, and the one on the ground was already dead.

Common sense dictates that ordinary humans cannot defeat monsters, so these two in front of us are very likely monsters.

However, monsters usually kill without tools, and the woman was unsure, so she did not act immediately.

Shi Qi noticed that the person looked somewhat similar to the person in the previous photos: "Are you Qi Hui?"

Her facial features are similar, but she looks a bit older, and her hairstyle has changed from waist-length hair to ear-length short hair.

Qi Hui looked at the baseball bat in Gu Shijiu's hand, her expression softening slightly: "Go and close that door."

Shi Qi didn't ask why, and directly closed both doors.

Qi Hui opened one of the doors and then closed it again.

"How come he has the same problem as Xu Zhongtian?" Gu Shijiu muttered softly.

“My self-proof.” Qi Hui pointed to the tightly closed door.

"Huh?" Gu Shijiu asked, her face full of confusion.

Qi Hui then realized that these were two newcomers: "The monster can't close the door. When I came in just now, the door was ajar."

"Oh, oh." Gu Shijiu nodded. She and Shi Qi hadn't even had time to close the door when the monster struck up a conversation with them.

"Don't you suspect I'm a monster? I might have been lying to you just now," Qi Hui said casually, sitting down in a chair.

“No, you don’t smell like a monster.” Gu Shijiu’s nose twitched a couple of times.

"Ha, is this your ability?" The gun in Qi Hui's hand suddenly went limp, turning into a sticky mess, which she then put into her pocket.

"I guess so." Gu Shijiu wasn't sure if this was a skill.

"Did you just come out of my room?" Qi Hui looked at the baseball bat with a nostalgic look in her eyes. "There were a lot of things inside, why did you only take two?"

"There's nothing to eat again." Gu Shijiu wasn't interested in anything else.

"We don't need to eat here, so we won't starve," Qi Hui explained. "However, any object could potentially turn into a special item, so we should take as much as possible."

Temperatures can fluctuate, and it could drop below freezing at any time, so it's best to carry warm clothing with you.

Gu Shijiu then noticed that Qi Hui was carrying a bulging bundle on her back.

Shi Qi suddenly interjected: "Was that warning note in the bedside table left by you?"

"No, I left so suddenly that I didn't even take anything with me, so I didn't have time to leave a note."

It might have been left by someone who arrived later, or it might... have been left by it.

"What is it, and why keep it?" Shi Qi continued to ask.

"I don't know either. I only know that there must be a controller behind these monsters. As for its purpose, it's probably revenge."

Qi Hui's expression was solemn: "Humans have always resisted its rules, trying to control and destroy it, and it is the same for humans."
