I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 718 Fake Corpse
"Huh? Why is he here?"

Not far away, a young man in sportswear put down the binoculars in his hand and muttered to himself.

After being disturbed by a female ghost in the KTV once, Li Ming keenly realized that it was the work of the apartment. Perhaps it was because he had swallowed a third-level ghost controlled by the apartment not long ago. Perhaps it was not that simple. When his own ghost blood curse and black jade relic broke out, the key to maintaining the balance lay in the ghost in the Swan Apartment.

I guess this is a very important part of the apartment, so they are so persistent.

The apartment can even control third-level monsters. Even Li Ming in his prime was not completely sure that he could fight against it, so after getting the exact information about the apartment, he did not choose to take over the apartment immediately.

But I didn't expect that this apartment was so petty. When my real body was trapped in two major curses, it still came to trouble my little clone.

In view of this, Li Ming secretly contacted some of the forces he had deployed. On the one hand, he locked the identities of the residents entering and leaving the apartment from a real physical level, and on the other hand, he was also considering whether he could break into the apartment from the inside.

But I didn’t expect that within two days, the little monk Chengguang would come here on his own.

Just as Chengguang hesitated, he suddenly felt a heat in his chest, and before his eyes blurred, an apartment building appeared.

As the saying goes, a skilled person is a courageous person. Chengguang is naturally different from those ordinary people. Faced with such a strange situation, he was not panicked at all. He straightened his clothes and stepped forward.

And just as he stepped forward, the white figure in front of Li Ming's telescope in the real world suddenly disappeared.

"Damn it!" Li Ming muttered, then shook his head and said, "This little monk does have some skills, but he's young and hasn't been beaten much, so he doesn't know how dangerous the world is."

He arrived at the apartment door, and soon the door opened a crack. A beautiful young woman poked her head out and looked him up and down. Seeing Chengguang's extraordinary demeanor, she asked, "Which floor do you live on? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Chengguang chanted the Buddha's name and said, "I am just passing by, I am not a resident here."

While speaking, Chengguang also looked carefully at the person in front of him. The woman was wearing a black and purple coat, her hair was curled into big waves, and her every move exuded a mature and intellectual charm. What's more rare is that she not only has a beautiful figure, but also a first-class face.

"What?" the woman exclaimed, then asked, "Is this your first time here?"

"Yes, female donor, is there anything wrong?" Chengguang asked.

The woman's expression changed and she said, "Young Master, feel around and see if you have a bunch of keys on you."

"Key?" Chengguang was a little confused, but he still did as he was told. He reached out and fumbled around on his body, then his expression changed slightly. He took out a seemingly ordinary key from his arms, the key number was 1301.

But Chengguang knew very well that he could not possibly have such a key. Born in Tianquan Temple, he had trained in the art of subduing demons and monsters, and naturally was quite skilled in martial arts. He believed that no one in the world could have slipped a key into his pocket without alerting him. So there was only one possibility for such a thing to happen, and that was...
There are ghosts!

Chengguang's heart trembled, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the woman in front of him changed immediately.

The woman was also very keenly aware of this and shook her head and said, "Young Master, since you are a cultivator, I will not hide it from you. This place is not ordinary. Since you have been chosen, come with me. I will tell you the rules of our apartment."

Chengguang was Chengguang after all. He smiled slightly upon hearing the voice and nodded, saying, "In that case, I'll trouble you, benefactor."

The woman smiled and led Chengguang into the apartment door, then said.

"My name is Tang Caiwei, what's your name, Master?"

"My Buddhist name is Chengguang." Chengguang bowed slightly.

Tang Caiwei walked in front and led Chengguang to the hall. She pointed at the large screen on the wall and said, "Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

"I believe it." Chengguang said firmly.

This startled Tang Caiwei, who then smiled and said, "Indeed, Master Chengguang, you are a monk, so naturally you will believe it more."

Of course, judging from her expression, she didn't quite believe what Chengguang said, and just continued speaking.

"Just believe it. Look, these are some audio and video materials. I can guarantee that they are all true. Don't be afraid after watching them."

"Hahaha, I have Buddha in my heart, so naturally I am not afraid of the eight winds." Chengguang still looked calm and composed.

Tang Caiwei smiled slightly, then turned on the big screen and played some footage of apartment residents performing tasks.

Soon Chengguang's expression changed and he asked, "Who are these people?"

Tang Caiwei said strangely, "Don't you think this is some TV station's prank show?"

"You are so pretty, benefactor. You don't look like the kind of person who would tease a young monk. Naturally, I believe you." Chengguang said with one hand raised in front of his chest.

Tang Caiwei rolled her eyes and said, "Little monk, you're so sweet. These people are all residents of the apartment. Being chosen by the apartment is truly unfortunate. I've been here for two years, and I feel like I'm living in hell every day. If there really is a Buddha in the world, can you save me?"

Seeing Tang Caiwei's serious expression, Chengguang couldn't help but lower his head and said, "Maybe there is, but it's better to rely on yourself than on Buddha."

"Seeking help from yourself? Haha," Tang Caiwei sneered, "Once you complete a few missions yourself, you'll understand how helpless and insignificant humans are in front of these monsters. They're basically just their toys."

"Mission?" Chengguang quickly grasped the key point.

Tang Caiwei said, "Yes, since you've been chosen by the apartment, it means you have to carry out a mission. The apartment will occasionally select some people from all the residents to carry out missions. The content of the mission varies. Sometimes it's to live in a certain area for a period of time, and sometimes it's to do something or deliver something. The content of the mission is all kinds of strange, but they all have one thing in common, that is, there must be a ghost!"

When she said the last four words, a strange smile appeared on Tang Caiwei's face, as if the evil spirit from hell had resurrected in her body. At this moment, the lights in the apartment lobby were bright, but Chengguang felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, the key in his hand suddenly turned red and hot, causing him to lift it up involuntarily. Tang Caiwei looked at the key in Chengguang's hand with a look of surprise.

"How could this happen? You've only just arrived at the apartment, and today is clearly your first day. Why would they issue you a mission?"

"Release the mission?" Chengguang muttered to himself, and then Tang Caiwei pulled him to the center of the hall.

Soon, several people came into the elevator, including Chu Ge and Chen Chao.

Including Chengguang, there were five people in total. When all five of them appeared in the center of the hall, bright red blood began to seep out of the floor, and then gathered into one bloody word after another in the eyes of everyone.

"On xx/xx/xxxx, go to the platform on Longbao Mountain with five locust trees and dig out the coffin underneath. After opening the coffin, you must not leave Longbao Mountain within 24 hours."

"What, isn't that tomorrow?!"

"We just completed the mission, how could it be so fast!"

Chu Ge's face didn't look good. He looked at Cheng Guang and asked, "When did you move in? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Chengguang said, "I just arrived and opened this door ten minutes ago."

"It's you?" At this time, Chen Chao also recognized the young monk in front of him with an extraordinary temperament.

"It's me." Chengguang nodded at Chen Chao.

"Oh, you said I was in a bloody disaster, but have you ever thought about yourself?" Chen Chao said with a gloating look.

"If a person who heals others cannot heal himself, his fate will be unpredictable." Chengguang still smiled.

At this time, Tang Caiwei also stepped forward and said, "Indeed, this little monk just arrived. I just told him about the rules of our apartment, and the task was given to him."

"How...how is this possible!" Xu Tianfeng was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. "You just entered the apartment, let alone your first mission. The gap between them is too big!"

Xu Tianfeng was another person who was carrying out the mission. He was a very well-behaved person and did not form cliques on weekdays, but he could get along with most people and was considered a good guy.

"I don't know either," Chengguang said honestly. "I noticed something unclean about this donor, so I followed him. Who knew he'd give me a key to the apartment?"

"Hahaha, monk, this is what they call if you don't go to hell, who will? If you hadn't followed me, maybe it wouldn't even be your turn." Chen Chao said jokingly.

Chu Ge adjusted his glasses and said, "I think this is something serious. It's rare for a resident to start a mission right after moving in. At least I haven't seen it. Furthermore, a newbie is actually tasked with joining forces with veterans like us who have performed missions three or four times. Aside from Cheng Tian and his group last time, I've never seen that before. Normally, the same mission will have different numbers of people participating, but the difference isn't too significant. For example, someone participating for the second time would join someone for the third, or someone participating for the fourth and fifth time... And for someone to be performing a mission for the first time alongside a senior resident who's carrying out the blood-lettered instructions for the fifth time... That's incredibly unusual."

There seemed to be a cold light flashing in Chu Ge's eyes, but it was well concealed by the reflection of the glasses. He kept the rest of the words in his heart and did not ask out loud.

Who is he?
Why was the apartment treated like this?
If you follow the residents of the apartment, you will be selected as a resident. Just kidding, there has never been such a thing!
He said there was something wrong with Chen Chao. Was he a charlatan or did he really have the ability?
Obviously, there are still many suspicious points about this monk, which Chu Ge needs to find out one by one.

Several people walked to the public lounge in the hall, where there were sofas, coffee tables and tables. Tang Caiwei went to get a few bottles of drinks and coffee, and then left on her own, but before leaving, she specifically said something to Chengguang.

"Sister, my room number is 0706. If you have any questions, you can come to me."

Facing such a beautiful woman's almost seductive words, Chengguang nodded gently and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Donor Tang. If there is a chance, I would also like to learn from you."

Tang Caiwei smiled sweetly upon hearing this and left. What followed was an internal discussion among the residents who were carrying out the mission, and she naturally would not participate.

In fact, she didn't even look at the content of their mission. This could be considered an unwritten rule that only those who were performing the same mission had the right to know when a mission appeared in the apartment.

Of course, as the person who carried out the task, if he wanted to leak the information, that would be fine, but for an outsider to inquire about it, it would be somewhat inappropriate.

After all, it is a matter of life and death. Although in most cases the residents of the apartment help each other because they share the same suffering, the human heart is unpredictable and no one can know.

Sometimes you can overcome the danger of a mission but still lose outside of it, which is really unfair.

At least as far as Tang Caiwei knows, there was one time when two apartment residents had some old grudges. After one of them knew the other's mission, he tripped him on his way back, causing the entire army to be wiped out. Later, it was found out that the person also died in a subsequent mission, but the dead cannot be resurrected, so how innocent are the others?
Tang Caiwei's move was also intended to avoid suspicion, and the others sat down and started discussing after Tang Caiwei walked away.

"This mission is a bit weird."

"What's so weird? It's not like digging coffins. Damn it, survive and escape back!" Chen Chao said viciously.

"It's not that simple. Cremation has been around for ages now. Since the apartment says it's a coffin, then it must be a coffin. This means this ghost may have a long history. And Longbao Mountain fits the bill perfectly. I just did some research. It's said that many emperors were buried there in ancient times, and many ancient tombs have been excavated. Unfortunately, tomb robbers are rampant and the damage is too great, so no valuable artifacts have been found so far."

"Oh? In that case, we may very well dig out a huge ancient tomb? Maybe we can even find some burial objects!" Xu Tianfeng said half-jokingly.

"Anyway, this isn't a simple matter, and time is very tight. My suggestion is that you go back and pack up now, gather at 8 a.m. tomorrow, and then purchase some necessary tools. Then, follow the apartment's instructions. We just need to dig up the coffin before midnight."

"No, Brother Ge, digging a coffin in the middle of the night is so scary. Let's dig it at noon. After we're done, the ghost probably won't kill people in the scorching sun."

"Hmph, how many missions have you completed? You're still so naive! If a ghost wants to kill you, would it care whether it's day or night? Besides, isn't it more likely that someone will find you digging during the day? If you get caught by the police, the apartment building won't care about you, they'll just curse you to death!"

"So, are you ready? Welcome the zombie!" Chu Ge said coldly.

PS: This book has not been published in the palace, and will not be published in the palace, because many things have not gone well recently, my personal health, the elderly at home, and some work matters have made it impossible to spare the time. I am very sorry, but now it has basically been dealt with, and normal updates will resume from today.
