Luo Ziyang looked furious.
After calculating the sizes of Luo Ziyang and Ye Yuan, and remaining silent for a moment, Chu Huai spoke carefully: “I don’t think you would have been too weak to resist him.”
Although Ye Yuan was taller than Luo Ziyang, he was much thinner.
Luo Ziyang was caught off guard by Chu Huai’s words and his face turned red. Chu Huai instantly understood what had happened and smiled faintly.
The two of them went downstairs, and Luo Ziyang whispered: “How did Sun Jiamu really die?”
Although Chu Huai had briefly explained that Sun Jiamu had been killed by a ghost, Luo Ziyang still couldn’t believe that Sun Jiamu had died so easily. Despite being annoying, Sun Jiamu had been powerful.
During the time when Chu Huai and Sun Jiamu had gone to the instance, Luo Ziyang had been worried about Chu Huai and had gone downstairs to guard the trial wall whenever he had a chance.
Then, on the fourth day, he found the painting that belonged to Sun Jiamu. It was similar to the scene in the movie “Painted Skin,” where Xiao Wei was sticking to a woman in a bathtub.
Another person who looked exactly like Sun Jiamu was pressing against him from behind, and had extended a long tongue towards him…
Jin Tianyi appeared behind Luo Ziyang like a ghost and scared him: “Ah!”
Jin Tianyi walked straight toward them and chuckled: “Move over.”
“Can’t we sit here?” Chu Huai pointed to the chair next to them, sitting still on the couch.
The corner of Jin Tianyi’s eyebrow raised lightly, and he laughed: “So you want me to say sweet nothings to you?”
Chu Huai widened his eyes.
“Then I’ll say it,” Jin Tianyi paused: “I want to sit next to you, not only do I want to sit together, but I also want…”
Chu Huai interrupted him, blushing and exclaiming: “Just sit down already! Do you have to talk so much? Have some shame, will you?”
Speaking uncomfortably, he still cleared a space for him.”
Jin Tianyi exclaimed: “Why do I need shame to pursue my wife?”
Chu Huai choked and couldn’t speak.
Luo Ziyang finally came to his senses from the fact that Chu Huai killed Sun Jiamu, silently feeling that he was the only foolishly sweet one.
Luo Ziyang tactfully didn’t inquire about the details and looked at Jin Tianyi. “Boss, where have you been these days?”
Just as Chu Huai left, Jin Tianyi disappeared without a trace.
His words instantly reminded Chu Huai of the incident where Jin Tianyi turned into a cat and peeked at him taking a shower.
And he seemed to have also frivolously molested the cat when he was bored.
No, he couldn’t think about it.
“There was something I needed to take care of,” Jin Tianyi said, not intending to explain because it involved many things.

Jin Tianyi should know that he knew.
In fact, when he first met Jin Tianyi, he knew that Jin Tianyi had many secrets, but he was always too lazy to dig deep. If Jin Tianyi didn’t say anything, he would never actively ask. But now, he suddenly felt like…snooping.
Just a little bit.
Chu Huai couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Gradually, residents came down.
“I asked them to come down. I have something to say,” Jin Tianyi said.
During the time when Jin Tianyi and Chu Huai were away, two new people were assigned to this apartment. In addition to the male and female who came back with them from the horror amusement park, there were now a total of seven people living in the apartment.
The two new male and female occupants were particularly distinctive. One had twin ponytails, wore a sailor suit, had plenty of collagen on her cheeks, and looked cute and sunny. She appeared to be no more than 18 years old.
The other was a gentle and delicate white flower, whose smile was charming.
The white flower was named Xia Yu, who had just arrived at the apartment three days ago and had not seen Chu Huai or Jin Tianyi. Suddenly seeing two outstanding men sitting on the sofa, she was momentarily stunned.
The warm and refined man on the left was harmless, while the man on the right had deep and handsome features, with a hint of mystery in his indifference.
These two men were sitting rather close to each other.
Xia Yu stared at Chu Huai for a while, causing him to feel inexplicably uneasy and furrow his brow slightly.
But Xia Yu seemed to confirm something and exclaimed with joy: “President Chu!”
Chu Huai widened his eyes in confusion: “……?!!”
Xia Yu quickly came over and warmly extended her hand to Chu Huai: “I didn’t expect to meet President Chu here, what a coincidence!”
Chu Huai’s face was a bit stiff. He didn’t even remember this person.
Luo Ziyang was surprised: “Xia Yu, your address for President Chu is quite respectful.”
He thought Xia Yu was currying favor with Chu Huai and didn’t think much of it.
Xia Yu smiled: “President Chu, I have heard so much about you, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person.”
Chu Huai: “……” Who the hell are you?
Luo Ziyang suddenly realized: “Oh, so you guys know each other!”
On the side, Jin Tianyi stifled a laugh and coughed lightly, deliberately saying seriously: “Are you sure you haven’t mistaken him for someone else?”
Chu Huai was about to interject, but Xia Yu spoke faster: “How could I possibly be wrong!”
Chu Huai: “…” Please don’t say anything else.
“Mr. Chu, you may not remember me, but I cosplayed one of the characters in your company’s game two years ago. We had a video conference to discuss it, and I saw you in person,” Xia Yu said.
Chu Huai suddenly felt a chill.
Luo Ziyang was stunned.
He knew Xia Yu before entering the game world. Xia Yu, like him, was also in the entertainment industry but had much more success and fame than him.
But he had called Mr. Chu as ‘JiaoJiao’.
Luo Ziyang said awkwardly: “JiaoJiao, you are…”
Chu Huai facepalmed. “Don’t call me JiaoJiao.” Did he have no dignity left?
Luo Ziyang stuttered for a while before finally saying the two words that broke the cold silence: “You are…the CEO?”
“You’re not a… ahem, male college student?” Luo Ziyang was confused.
He then added: “Right, your gender is fake. What else is true about you?”
Chu Huai: “…”
Jin Tianyi sat quietly on the side, and Chu Huai thought he was angry. Feeling depressed and scared, he blushed and tried to remain calm as he shook hands with Xia Yu. “Hello.”
It was an admission.
After all, Xia Yu didn’t seem to be very smart. Who knew what she might say if she didn’t recognize him?
Luo Ziyang’s eyes lit up, imagining his future. He put his arm around Chu Huai’s shoulder and said eagerly: “That’s great! When I complete my mission and return to reality, with you supporting me, I’ll become famous throughout the country!”
Chu Huai wanted to turn the page quickly. After being fooled for so long, Jin Tianyi was probably not happy, and no one would be happy about that.
Chu Huai deeply condemned himself in his heart and said weakly: “I just have a little money, no power, can’t help to promote…”
Thinking he was being modest, Xia Yu praised him: “Don’t be so humble, you have…”
“Thank you!!” Chu Huai immediately interrupted her, trying hard to force a smile. If Xia Yu weren’t a woman, he would have yelled at her to shut up. The situation was getting worse and worse.
Jin Tianyi couldn’t help but suppress a laugh and put on a gloomy look as if he had been deceived, which was really difficult for him.
After some introductions, Jin Tianyi finally brought up the matter at hand: “Do you remember what date it is today?”
Chu Huai shook his head. He had lost track of time since he moved into the apartment.
Luo Ziyang quickly took out his phone and checked: “January 20th, what’s up?”
Jin Tianyi reminded them: “It’s almost Chinese New Year in a couple of weeks.”
Chu Huai was taken aback: “What does that mean?”
Luo Ziyang exclaimed, his face suddenly changed: “There is no change of seasons here, I forgot about that!”
The newbies looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Jin Tianyi explained: “Every year around this time, each apartment will be assigned to shoot a Chinese New Year’s film. It’s a tradition, but not many tenants stay for a full year and it’s rare to be able to participate, so I didn’t mention it before.”
The sailor suit was confused: “Shoot a New Year’s film? That’s simple.”
Luo Ziyang shook his head and clarified: “It’s a horror movie.”
“A horror movie?” Chu Huai frowned.
The newbies’ faces turned pale.
Jin Tianyi nodded: “All apartment residents must participate in the performance.”
“We have to perform?” Chu Huai seemed to have caught the key point: “Can we decide on what to film?”
“No, but there will be a script and character introduction sent over, and we have some freedom,” Jin Tianyi replied.
The sailor outfit still didn’t understand: “Is there any danger in this?”
A male newcomer caught on, quickly asking: “What happens if we die in the movie according to the character’s plot?”
“If you die in the movie, you die for real,” Jin Tianyi didn’t hide the truth: “and with seven people in the apartment, the assigned movies may be difficult.”
Luo Ziyang shrank his neck: “I heard before that an apartment was completely wiped out while filming a New Year’s movie!”
Chu Huai laughed and joked: “After all, there are plenty of horror movies at home and abroad where everyone dies. The protagonist’s halo not only doesn’t work but the bigger it is, the more unlucky.”
“A New Year’s greeting and it’s in bad taste. The first gift of the new year is complete annihilation. Tsk tsk, just thinking about it is stimulating,” Chu Huai sighed.
“Oh, does filming count as a dungeon attempt?” Chu Huai asked.
“Counted,” Jin Tianyi replied.
The newcomer’s face looked a little better. After all, it was better to go through the unknown dungeon together as a group rather than alone or with only one other person.
Chu Huai continued to ask: “What about difficulty? Compared to going through a dungeon?”
“The filming theoretically is a bit harder, but if we cooperate well, the survival rate is generally higher than going through a dungeon.”
“The script should be sent over in a few days,” Jin Tianyi said: “Oh, by the way, if you have time these days, you can watch the horror movies that the apartment has made.”
Chu Huai suddenly understood something, his eyes widening: “Are you talking about the pile of DVDs next to the TV in the room?”
He had watched a few out of boredom before, with a deep impression, all of them being horror movies with complete annihilation.
Jin Tianyi chuckled, and what he said was chilling: “Those actors are all apartment residents.”
This is just wrong in so many ways. A New Year’s horror movie where all participants have a high chance of dying? Seriously weird.
Thanks for the chapter(s).
Aw man. Who remembers Chu Huai’s profession and previous life before coming to the horror world? I can’t think of what he is trying to cover up and his backstory is split across many chapters so it’s hard to find all the pieces.
he was seven years old when the ‘ghost’ started acting up, and he stabbed a girl in the nostrils(i think), and a lot happened and he was sent to the mental hospital by his parents, the director of the hospital let him get interviewed in exchage for money, then he almost got raped there by a rapist who pretended to be crazy to avoid prison, and then it says that the nurse serves him good food, but it implies she’s poisoning him but he didn’t die so the nurse was horrified. that’s all i remember
Sounds funny for book ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I’m trying being easier with this type of books
Thank you for your translation 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
Wonder if there’s a guardian for each apartment complex. And how many apartments are out there.
Many new residents~ and even one who knows mc irl~ did she meet mc while he’s in a wheelchair? Mc still so active despite in a certain facility’s vip ward and haunted by his parasite daily.
What a unique and bloody way to spend the new year 😅 no break, no rewards, just higher percentage of death
