Her Talent for Courting Death Has Always Been Impressive - Chapter 31 Part 2

She felt the current scene was somewhat familiar, quickly got up from the ground, and saw the chair not far away, and the black backpack placed on the chair.

Speaking of bags… Xu Turan quickly felt around her body, slightly surprised to find that now she only had the shoulder bag she had been carrying from the beginning.

All the weapons she had scavenged in the “domain” had disappeared. Only a Polaroid camera, a hand mirror shattered to just the frame, and a bald doll remained in the bag.

Xu Turan: “…”

So she had… come out?

She looked around suspiciously, trying to further analyze the current situation. Suddenly there was a “bang bang bang” knocking sound from outside the closed door—she went to open the door, and was met with Yang Buqi’s slightly anxious and worried eyes outside the door.

After seeing Xu Turan in the room, he visibly relaxed.

“Great, you’re back too—how do you feel? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?”

Xu Turan shook her head and asked back: “Have we already left the ‘domain’?”

“Mm.” Yang Buqi nodded, smiling gently, “We’ve already come out, it’s fine now. You were right about everything…”

“Oh.” Xu Turan nodded slightly, her gaze wandering for a moment.

Yang Buqi: “…”

“You… seem a bit disappointed?” After a couple of seconds, he cautiously spoke.

“No.” Xu Turan immediately denied, “You’re overthinking it.”

Yang Buqi: “……”

A lie.

So she was actually a bit disappointed?

Yang Buqi opened his mouth, but for a moment didn’t know what to say.

The Plum Blossom Apartment incident, in a sense, had come to an end.

The “domain” was destroyed. All beings trapped in the “domain” returned to where they were supposed to be. Just as Xu Turan woke up in Yang Buqi’s room, Yang Buqi woke up in Xiao Zhang’s room… The misplaced time and space were silently pieced back to their original positions.

Although in the eyes of others, they had actually disappeared into thin air for several hours.

The boss, Su Sui’er and others also quickly came to Plum Blossom Apartment to report their safety, and to carry out the final cleanup work. This batch of people was considered quite lucky, basically nothing happened to them—but it was only them who were fine.

The rest of the missing persons returned in the form of corpses.

For the outside world, this was another sensational and chilling supernatural event. The bodies of all missing persons related to Plum Blossom Apartment were discovered one after another. And the causes of death were all quite bizarre—some seemed to have been gnawed by beasts, with incomplete bodies, while others seemed to have had all the blood drained from their bodies. Some even had a large hole in their chest, as if something had been connected there.

As for the Cha Ruoyu family who were attendants, not even their corpses returned. Yang Buqi guessed that the master of that domain had probably eaten “Mother” in the end—”it” hadn’t touched her before, just to maintain the existence of the domain, and since the domain no longer existed, there was no need to keep this large bento anymore.

And Cha Ruoyu, who had never entered the “domain”, never appeared again. It’s unknown whether he knew he could no longer reach that “land of immortality” and silently chose to give up; or was quietly erased and recycled by the more powerful being behind him.

“Of course, Renxin Institute won’t give up tracking that abomination,” the boss said seriously to Yang Buqi, taking a hard sip of the milk tea in his hand.

It was now the second day after they returned to reality from the domain. Renxin Institute was busy with the aftermath to the point of being overwhelmed, and Yang Buqi, with the idea of helping people to the end, still stayed here—partly also because Xu Turan was still here and hadn’t left.

Yang Buqi stood by the window, expressionlessly looking down at the ant-like cars below, and said, “It seems to be consciously erasing its traces. Have you tried going after the landlord?”

He had been a bit concerned when he heard Xiao Zhang mention it earlier. A landlord who knew the house had problems but still rented it out, and could even accurately identify and refuse ability users, was problematic no matter how you looked at it.

“We tried before. But it’s difficult—something is hindering us from getting close to him,” the boss said, “We thought that since the domain was destroyed and 1501 lost its value, perhaps ‘it’ would relax its control over the landlord, but unexpectedly…”

Yang Buqi: “The landlord died?”

“The body was just discovered yesterday,” the boss clicked his tongue, “A mummy. He’s been dead for probably a few years.”

Yang Buqi: “…So that abomination even knows how to operate rental software?”

Otherwise, who did Xu Turan rent the house from? If he remembered correctly, she spent quite a lot of money.

“Who knows, it’s also possible that it’s operating the corpse to operate the rental software,” the boss said with a serious face, nesting the concept.

Yang Buqi: “…”

“In the domain, the attendant’s diary mentioned that Cha Ruoyu had been in contact with someone called ‘Second Uncle’,” he thought for a moment, helping to broaden the line of thought, “That Second Uncle is likely the person who led Cha Ruoyu into the scheme.”

“We’ve checked. He’s the owner of 1501,” the boss shrugged, “Like I said, that thing is also consciously erasing everything.”

Yang Buqi fell silent again.

“Speaking of which, I haven’t thanked you yet. And that little sister—you were a big help this time,” the boss paused for a moment, changing the subject, “I heard from Xiao Luo that the old folks at Renxin Institute gave you a hard time?”

“It’s nothing,” Yang Buqi shook his head, “It doesn’t matter, whatever.”

The conflict between Renxin Institute and Ciji Institute isn’t new, and he’s not the only one who would be scapegoated and blamed, he’s used to it.

“I’m sorry, it was my misjudgment that day. Instead, I caused you trouble,” the boss sincerely opened his mouth, Yang Buqi shook his head again, and asked about Xiao Zhang’s situation.

After returning to reality, he had treated Xiao Zhang’s physical injuries. However, that child seemed to have some mental issues as well, with small branches constantly sprouting from his body, even blooming small flowers.

“There are symptoms of contamination. He’s been sent back to Renxin Institute. We’ll see about the specific situation,” the boss said calmly, taking a couple more sips of milk tea, then fell silent for a while, seeming to finally make up his mind.

“Can you tell me what exactly was the deal with the seal on that door?” he said in a low voice, “Say it if you’re willing, if not then forget it, but don’t try to fool me. I could see that your eyes were off when you saw that thing.”

He let out a breath: “You don’t need to go into details, just give me a general idea. I need to write a report, please understand.”

Yang Buqi: “…”
