Chu Ping didn't understand what No. 10 meant by saying this, but he wasn't prepared to pursue it carefully. Instead, he followed No. 10 into the elevator that suddenly appeared.
The elevator car was filled with a vague smell. Chu Ping's nose twitched, and the smell followed the air and penetrated into his nasal cavity.
Chu Ping frowned. This was not the first time he smelled this smell.
"It seemed like this was the smell at that rickety old man's house last time."
Squinting his eyes slightly, Chu Ping knew exactly how the smell of the rickety uncle's house was formed.
Chu Ping looked at No. 9 and No. 10 with some vigilance. He stepped back slightly. But Chu Ping remembered what No. 9 said just now.
"There have been newcomers here before, but the end result didn't seem to be good."
Chu Ping put his hand into his pocket as if nothing had happened, and then grabbed the red background photo.
Lou Bin in the red background photo looks helpless.
"It seems the boss is always ready to sacrifice us."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Ah Tou, who had a plump body, also echoed from the side.
"Newcomers, don't be so nervous. Although there are many lunatics in the association, they still abide by the rules. You are the person named by the acting president, so naturally they will not do anything to you."
No. 9 seemed to have guessed what Chu Ping was thinking, and then spoke to him.
"Hmm...but I don't know what will happen to those who don't follow the rules."
After Chu Ping heard No. 9's last words, he really wanted to hit the opponent's head directly with his stick.
"No. 9, you'd better shut up."
No. 10 seemed to be dissatisfied with No. 9's behavior, so he stopped him. However, No. 10 was wearing a mask and couldn't see clearly what his current expression was.
No. 9 was on the other side of Chu Ping, and Chu Ping always felt that No. 9 was staring at him.
Looking sideways, No. 9 took off the hood on his head at some point, and a face wearing a clown mask appeared in front of Chu Ping.
"clown?"
Ever since he was chased by a clown in the bus company building all night long, Chu Ping has felt a sense of resistance to the clown from the inside out.
"Looking at your eyes, it seems you don't like this mask of mine."
No. 9 looked at Chu Ping with a joking look, and at the same time brought his face in.
Chu Ping felt that the stench around him seemed to be getting stronger.
"Is it the smell of No. 9?"
Chu Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at No. 9's eyes. It was hard for Chu Ping to imagine how many people the other party had to kill to get this smell on his body.
No. 9 seemed not to have thought that Chu Ping would look at him. Looking at his Wukong mask, No. 9's eyes clearly revealed a hint of excitement.
"Your name is Xie Guoan, right? It's rare for newcomers to look at me like this anymore. I've written down your name. Hey, hey, it's interesting. It's interesting."
Chu Ping didn't know what No. 9 meant when he suddenly mentioned his name, but Chu Ping reported Lao Xie's name anyway. He was not afraid of being called upon by No. 9, but he was a little worried that Lao Xie would be implicated.
"When we get out, we should inform old Xie Tou and ask him to go to Ninghai City for two more days."
"No. 9, don't you know that names are taboo in the association?"
Number 10, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up, seemingly accusing Number 9 of his behavior.
No. 9 seemed to be afraid of No. 10. After hearing his words, he glanced at Chu Ping again, as if to imprint his eyes in his heart.
"I remember your eyes, interesting new guy."
After No. 9 said these words in Chu Ping's ear, he raised his head and looked at No. 10.
"Okay, okay, I say No. 10, can't you have a sense of humor? Don't always look cold, it's very unpleasant."
No. 9 wanted to pat No. 10 on the shoulder, but No. 10 dodged it.
"Newcomer, don't look at him like this, he is the craziest one in the association..."
When No. 9 said this, he looked up at No. 10. When he saw No. 10's eyes hidden under the evil ghost mask, he stopped talking.
"Newcomer, some people don't like me saying this, but you will understand it later, provided you can survive until then."
Chu Ping glanced at No. 10 secretly. At this time, No. 10 was no longer looking at him, but looked up at the digital display of the elevator.
"Eighteen floors, nineteen floors..."
There is still some distance from the destination.
"But I'm really curious, how did you survive the black fog?"
Just now, Chu Ping's attention had been on No. 10 and the digital display of the elevator, and he didn't notice No. 9 at all, so Chu Ping was startled by the sudden appearance of No. 9 in his ears.
"Those lunatics will be very excited if you are so timid."
Having said this, No. 9 glanced at No. 10, as if testing the other party's reaction.
"I don't know how I ended up here. When I entered the community, the black fog had not yet risen, so I kept looking for Building C. Later, I slowly realized that something was wrong. The black fog here was too thick. I couldn't see the direction clearly, so I just found a door and got in, and then I met you."
Chu Ping's words were completely nonsense, which made No. 9's eyes widen. It was obvious that he did not believe what Chu Ping said.
"Are you telling the truth?"
The clown mask of No. 9 came close to Chu Ping, as if trying to get the answer he wanted from his eyes.
So close, Chu Ping could even feel the breathing coming from inside the clown mask.
"Of course it's true. I also want to ask you, what's going on with the black fog outside? I seem to hear waves of wailing inside."
"Black mist can affect the mind and amplify desires. You'd better not run around outside. If you get lost in the black mist, even we won't be sure to bring you back."
Number 10's voice sounded at this time, and Chu Ping couldn't tell whether he was doubting himself.
"You haven't met the residents in the community?"
However, No. 9 was still unwilling to give up, as if he wanted to ask Chu Ping to get to the bottom of things.
"No."
Chu Ping didn't look at No. 9 at all and answered casually. He didn't want to tell No. 9 that he had met the rickety uncle's family and made a big fuss at their house.
"real?"
"Really, what's wrong with the residents here? You're so nervous."
Chu Ping was completely asking questions knowingly.
"Those residents are all lunatics..." No. 9 glanced at No. 10, who was standing aside, and then continued, "It's not the same thing as his madness. It can be said that the residents here are no longer human."
"Huh? How do you say this?"
"Five years ago, that person..."
When No. 9 said this, he realized that he seemed to have talked too much, so he coughed lightly.
"Anyway, remember, don't interact too much with those residents, otherwise no one can save you."
Chu Ping nodded in agreement on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil.
"Five years ago...that person...could he be Yu Fei?"
When he was in the bus company building before, Chen Feng briefly talked to himself about the situation of the association.
"Five years ago, Yu Fei betrayed the association, and then the association banned members from approaching the eastern suburbs. Obviously there was someone they didn't want to mess with, and that person should be Yu Fei. I don't know that five years ago, Yu Fei What on earth did he do to make Number Nine talk like this?"
