In Love Apartment, I used a cheat to develop the Multiverse Gate.

In Love Apartment 3502, Zhang Yu arrived at the most mysterious place in the apartment building—that's right, it's Xiao Hei's room downstairs. As for why it's considered the most mysterious place in Love Apartment, putting aside Zhang Yu's speculations, just consider that it didn't appear until the fifth season in the original storyline. Wouldn't you say that place is mysterious?

Especially in the first four seasons, Xiao Hei didn't even appear as a person, and the unveiling of his mystery in the fifth season only made him more enigmatic. The items appearing in Xiao Hei's room in the fifth season alone were already mysterious, let alone what else might be inside.

Many of the things Xiao Hei has taken out are already cutting-edge technologies; who knows how much more he's hiding? Especially Xiao Hei himself, a septuplet not recorded in the world's records, and what's even stranger is that the seven of them tacitly avoid appearing in front of outsiders at the same time, even using the same name, as if deliberately hiding themselves from the world.

"Little Black, open the door."

Zhang Yu knocked on the door and called out, "Wait a moment, the back door will open. It doesn't open automatically; Xiao Hei will come and open it himself."

"What brings you here?"

Xiao Hei saw Zhang Yu and spoke to him without any politeness. Zhang Yu didn't care about his attitude, went up and put his arm around Xiao Hei and went into the room.

The reason Xiao Hei dislikes Zhang Yu is because after he and Zi Qiao came here once, Zhang Yu became very familiar with Xiao Hei and often came to visit him. Not only did he come, but he also liked to look around and even went into the room full of things to look through things. In particular, he almost accidentally went into the hidden space a few times. That's why Xiao Hei dislikes Zhang Yu so much.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Hei dared not let Zhang Yu in again, otherwise he would probably be led into the hidden space again. Ever since he was almost led to the hidden space by Zhang Yu last time, he had been very wary of Zhang Yu.

"Don't be so cold, Xiao Hei. You told me to come to you when I had problems. By the way, who are you? Where are the other six?"

Zhang Yu didn't become more cautious despite Xiao Hei's wariness. He completely ignored Xiao Hei's attitude and continued to look around the room. The room hadn't been changed like in the fifth season, but like Zhang Yu, it was filled with miscellaneous items, so no one suspected Xiao Hei living alone in the entire 3502.

This is also why Zhang Yu always looks around every time he comes; he knows there are seven brothers, so one room is definitely not enough for them. When Zhang Yu first arrived at Love Apartment, he didn't know the special nature of this world, so he initially only suspected they had some kind of advanced technology that could expand space.

Now that he knows the special nature of this world, he has begun to have some doubts about Xiao Hei, especially after learning about the world's consciousness, Zhang Yu had already doubted Xiao Hei's true identity.

You see, that door had been modified by Xiao Hei. Although the modification looked like a joke, Zhang Yu didn't think the door was anything special without Xiao Hei's alterations. He'd seen the door before and hadn't noticed anything unusual then. Zhang Yu suspected that the door gained its special abilities after being modified by Xiao Hei, which was why he had come to find him.

Zhang Yu brought it up deliberately, just to bluff Xiao Hei. Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Yu's words, Xiao Hei froze for a moment, and then immediately cursed.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have helped. Now I've been exposed."

Hearing Xiao Hei's words, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up. It seemed his guess wasn't quite accurate, but this unexpected turn of events had revealed the truth. Initially, Zhang Yu had guessed that Xiao Hei was some kind of special incarnation of the World Consciousness, specifically guarding the Love Apartment treasure. But now it seemed there were other secrets involved. He just didn't know Xiao Hei's identity, how he knew the World Consciousness, and from Xiao Hei's tone, it seemed they were equals, or even that the World Consciousness needed Xiao Hei's help.

"Damn it, you tricked me."

Seeing Zhang Yu's delighted expression, Xiao Hei realized that he had been outmaneuvered by Zhang Yu, and said with annoyance, then sighed helplessly.

"Speak, what do you want to know? I will only say what I can say, and I will definitely not say a word about what I cannot say."

"Don't say that, Xiao Hei. I just want to know the identities of you seven brothers and ask some questions. If you feel you can't answer, you don't have to."

Zhang Yu continued talking while still holding Xiao Hei, who breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Zhang Yu's words. Although he wasn't afraid of Zhang Yu, this world was much more interesting than the other, and the seven brothers didn't want to stay in that world forever, especially since they still had a long time left to spend there.

Moreover, Zhang Yu might be able to help the brothers escape from that world. Otherwise, the seven brothers might not be able to return to this world and would have to endure countless boring years in that world, which is terrifying to even think about.

"We are Love Apartment."

Zhang Yu was completely confused after hearing Xiao Hei's words. Was Xiao Hei from Love Apartment? Had he guessed wrong? Seeing Zhang Yu's expression, Xiao Hei knew that Zhang Yu had misunderstood.

"I mean, the seven of us brothers are the treasure itself from Love Apartment, not the consciousness of this world. Never mind, let me explain it to you clearly, otherwise I don't know what you'll be guessing. Also, you're not allowed to reveal our identities to Ziqiao and the others."

Seeing Zhang Yu's puzzled look again, Xiao Hei had no choice but to tell him his identity directly, and specifically instructed him not to reveal it to Zi Qiao and the others. Zhang Yu nodded repeatedly in agreement. Seeing Zhang Yu nod, Xiao Hei felt relieved. Zhang Yu was different from Zi Qiao and the others. If it were them, he definitely wouldn't believe they would keep it a secret, and would probably tell the others as soon as they turned around. However, they wouldn't tell outsiders either.

As mentioned before, due to the special nature of the Love Apartment world, that great being placed a treasure in this world to suppress it. However, this treasure is actually just a fragment that the great being separated from other treasures, while the original treasure is an extremely special innate spiritual treasure.

The seven little black brothers are the spirits of this magical artifact. The reason why they are referred to as "splits" instead of "the main body" is because their main bodies also have missions; they are suppressing other worlds.

Because a part of them was separated from that great being, the seven brothers were able to come to this world through this split, which is Love Apartment. However, because that world needed them to suppress it, they could only send one person over, so the others took turns coming over.

Zhang Yu actually knew their true identities, and was even quite familiar with them. So much so that upon hearing their identities, Zhang Yu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "You're the Calabash Brothers? The Calabash Brothers I know?"

That's right, they are the Calabash Brothers, the Calabash Brothers who suppressed the Snake Demon, and that innate spiritual treasure is one of the gourds formed by the innate gourd vine. In fact, they are currently assigned to suppress the Calabash World, which explains why they take turns coming to this world to play. The Calabash World is so boring, and they can't even leave Calabash Mountain.

"Wait a minute, your true forms are gourds? Gourds formed from primordial gourd vines? Then which of them is that great being?"

Zhang Yu suddenly looked at Xiao Hei, but Xiao Hei shook his head and remained silent. It seemed this couldn't be revealed, but it was tantamount to indirect admission. This was understandable; if it was them, then it made sense, and everything flowed smoothly. No wonder they could create worlds so easily. He just didn't know which one it was. However, Zhang Yu wasn't curious. Even if he knew, what difference would it make? In their eyes, he was just an ant, even less than an ant. Why bother making himself uncomfortable?

"Speak, what brings you here? Now hurry up and leave, I'm going back. I don't want to see you again anytime soon."

Seeing that Zhang Yu was so sensible as to not press the matter further, Xiao Hei felt relieved. Although that person wouldn't care, it wasn't someone they could talk about at will.

"Actually, what I want to ask is what Dali's ability is? What is that ball of energy she has?"

Zhang Yu didn't dwell on that great being and directly asked about his main purpose in coming to find Xiao Hei.

"You know about Dali's ability, right? You know Green Lantern, right? Dali's ability is actually controlling emotional energy. She can transform emotional energy into anything she controls. In a sense, she's a newly born innate demon god. Although she's only a dimensional demon god in a minor world within the larger world, her potential ceiling is that of an innate demon god."
