“Indeed, this world is really too terrible.” Zhou Chen couldn’t help but agree with the young man.

Although he did not know much about this world, from what he knew, this world was really messed up.

There were ghosts and evil entities here. It was very difficult for even Zhou Chen to fight them, much less the natives here. They, who did not have extraordinary abilities and were only ordinary people, had no way to fight back against these monsters. They were sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Zhou Chen was very puzzled as to how the natives could survive here. Logically speaking, they should have been killed by the evil entities long ago.

Even this very apartment Zhou Chen was standing in was suspected to be an evil entity.

“Can you tell me how you entered this apartment?” Feeling curious, Zhou Chen asked He Jin who seemed to be in a low mood.

He Jin was puzzled by Zhou Chen’s question, but as Zhou Chen was his benefactor, he immediately replied, “Before I entered this apartment, I was watching a horror movie in a theater with my girlfriend. Then, the monsters in the movie appeared out of the screen and started killing people in the theater. While escaping, I unwittingly arrived at this place and the apartment appeared before me.”

He Jin explained his experience briefly. The process seemed sketchy, but it gave Zhou Chen enough space to think.

‘Looks like this place is not where normal humans live. This should be an alternate space.’

Zhou Chen confirmed that these natives did not live in this strange place. They came from other places, which explained how they could survive.

“Your world… No, have you seen or heard of evil entities in real life before coming here?” Zhou Chen asked.

“No, before I entered that movie theater, I never knew there was really such a terrifying thing in the world.” He Jin shook his head. He then looked at Zhou Chen with a doubtful gaze. He wanted to say something, but he suddenly gave up.

‘Hehe, he should be even more suspicious of my identity.’ Zhou Chen thought inwardly when he saw this, but he did not care.

“Hmm, those bizarre items are gone…”

He felt something unusual on his body. He touched his pockets and realized that the bizarre cup and other bizarre items he had collected were gone. He quickly looked at his system inventory and heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that the bizarre whip was still there.

‘Looks like this apartment cannot interfere with the system’s reward.’

“Brother Zhou, I plan to go back to my room to rest. See you later.” He Jin saw Zhou Chen’s strange actions and bid farewell to him. He was indeed exhausted. Not only was his body exhausted, but his mind was also exhausted.

“Alright, see you tomorrow.”

After bidding farewell to He Jin, Zhou Chen began to wander around the spacious hall. It was early morning, and there were only a few people here other than him. It seemed to be very empty.

He then walked to the few windows in the hall and observed the outside. The red-dressed female ghost that had forced him in had already disappeared. It had probably left the area.

‘I should be able to fight that female ghost now, so I can leave at any time. But let’s stay for two more days. This place is very interesting, and I can rest peacefully here.’

After thinking for a while, Zhou Chen decided not to leave.

At this moment, someone in the hall walked behind Zhou Chen.

“Did your mission go smoothly?” It was a girl’s voice. Zhou Chen turned around and realized that it was Little Li.

“It went smoothly for me, but the team suffered heavy casualties. Four out of six died.” Zhou Chen turned around and smiled at the girl who had stayed up until dawn.

“Hmm… I noticed. If you don’t mind, can you tell me about your mission process? I want to gain some knowledge.” Little Li asked Zhou Chen, her expression slightly hesitant.

“No problem.” Zhou Chen immediately agreed. “But answer me first, how many missions have you completed?”

Zhou Chen felt that since this girl was so eager to learn, she might be lacking in mission experience.

The girl immediately looked a little embarrassed.

“I’ve never participated in a mission before. I came in yesterday. I thought that the apartment would arrange for me to do a mission today, but it didn’t happen. However, according to Uncle Wang’s deduction, there’s a high chance that I will be on the mission tomorrow night, so I am having trouble sleeping.”

“Alright, let me tell you about the mission I just completed.”

After obtaining the girl’s answer, Zhou Chen began to describe his experience. Of course, he did not tell everything. Instead, he modified the parts where he fought the evil entities to relying on his luck and fast running speed, as well as the help of the bizarre items to avoid the evil entities and complete the mission.

After describing the mission details, Zhou Chen summarized some of his experience to her.

“You have to be careful during the mission. You do not want to easily approach things that you can’t see clearly, and you have to be aware of your companions as well, because they might be replaced by evil entities at any moment. Also, if you encounter an emergency, you have to run fast. As long as you are faster than others, your chances of survival will increase.”

Zhou Chen felt that the experience he had summarized was both useful and not useful. With this girl’s petite body, it would be strange if she could outrun others. Moreover, even if she ran the fastest, would she definitely be able to survive? With Zhou Chen’s mission as an example, if he had not killed the evil entities and found two bizarre items, the others would have been doomed. There was no chance of survival.

This was not because the others were not working hard or were too stupid, but because of the difficulty of the mission. Letting these ordinary people fight the evil entities was like throwing eggs at a stone.

“Alright, thank you for the guidance. I will definitely work hard to pass my mission.”

After obtaining the experience of Zhou Chen, the petite girl’s expression relaxed slightly, as if she gained some confidence in completing the mission. She chatted with Zhou Chen for a while before leaving for her room to rest.

Zhou Chen also left the hall of the first floor and went upstairs.

He had already learned from the girl that he could stay in any rooms as long as they were empty. The rooms were quite luxurious with all kinds of appliances available.

‘Unfortunately, I’m still worried about the food here. Although they all look very normal and delicious, I should hold back for the time being.’

Although Zhou Chen saw the ordinary people eating and drinking here, he still could not let down his guard. This apartment might not have shown hostility to him, but it was really too strange. Its ability was also very powerful and strange.

Therefore, Zhou Chen had not eaten anything after arriving here. In any case, with his current physique, he would have no problem not drinking water for a week.

After leaving the first floor of the apartment, Zhou Chen quickly found an empty room on the fifth floor and took a good shower. Then, he threw his clothes into the dryer and lay on the bed to sleep.

He slept till noon. When he went downstairs to the hall, he realized that it was quite lively, or rather, there was an abnormality.

In the hall, four burly men in their twenties and thirties, who were dressed in short sleeves and had tattoos all over their arms, were making a scene in the middle of the hall. They occupied the dining table. Not only did they not let others eat, but they also casually beat up the other residents nearby.

“Do you trash deserve to share a dining table with us Four Tigers of the East City? Let me tell you, no matter where, you have to follow the rules! There will be a rule from now on: As long as any of us four brothers are here, all of you have to stay behind. Whoever dares to disturb us, we will let them know what the Four Tigers of the East are!” A tall, muscular, muscular man wearing short clothes and arms filled with tattoos said loudly to the residents.

His three muscular partners shot threatening gazes at the people as they ate, making the twenty or so other residents in the hall not dare to approach them. They could only watch them eat.

Some of the residents were naturally unwilling to accept this situation. Uncle Wang walked out of the crowd and faced the muscular tattooed man.

“Brother, we are all in the same boat. It’s better to be united.”

However, before he could finish speaking, the tattooed man suddenly charged at him and slapped him, throwing him to the ground. Cries of surprise and shock rang in the surrounding.

“Geezer, who are you calling brothers?! Do you think you can call us the Four Tigers as you wish?! Bastard who doesn’t understand the rules!” The muscular man shouted while stepping on Uncle Wang’s head with his foot, making him groan and bleed.

However, the tattooed man was getting more excited. He kept on stepping on Uncle Wang’s head as he shouted to the others in the hall with an extremely arrogant expression, “All of you, watch carefully. This is the outcome of offending me. I’ll spare his life this time, but if anyone doesn’t follow the rules in the future, I’ll kill their entire family!”

No one in the hall dared to refute. All of them were silent. Some of them quietly walked to the elevator, preparing to leave the hall.

Just as the muscular man was gazing at the others fiercely, he suddenly glanced at a tall woman in the crowd. He was instantly interested and gestured at this woman. “Yo, you look quite good. Why didn’t I see you earlier? Come over, I’ll allow you to eat with us!”

“Humph!”

The woman did not agree to his invitation. Instead, she snorted and turned to walk to the elevator.

“F*cking bitch! You dare refuse me! I’ll kill you right now!” The muscular man was furious. He instantly charged towards the young woman like a tank, making the woman run while screaming loudly.

“Ah! What are you doing! Don’t come over!”

The situation in the hall immediately became more chaotic. The surrounding people dodged and did not dare to provoke the man.

Zhou Chen’s eyes flickered as he watched. He turned to look at He Jin who had arrived beside him at some point in time.

“Brother He, what’s the situation with those four? Are the Four Tigers of the East City very famous?”

He Jin looked disgusted when he heard his question.

“I heard that the four of them entered the apartment just this morning, but their attitudes are extremely bad, without the caution of newcomers. As for the Four Tigers of the East City, I’ve never heard of them. They might be a gang in the northeast.”

“Oh.” The interest in Zhou Chen’s eyes immediately weakened.

‘They are no different from ordinary people in my perception. Looks like they are not experts. But, I should make a move now and treat it as doing a good deed.’

Zhou Chen walked to a corner of the hall. At this moment, two muscular men with tattoos were dealing with the woman they had called out earlier.

One of the muscular men held the woman from behind and tore her clothes. The other was busy unbuckling his belt, looking very excited.

However, Zhou Chen, who was walking closer to them, quickly caught their attention. One tattooed-man turned around and looked at Zhou Chen,

“Do you have a death wish? If you’re smart, get lost!”

However, Zhou Chen’s expression did not change. He was as calm as a lake.

Immediately after, he attacked. He sent a front kick at the muscular man; his kick did not look fast, but the burly man was unable to dodge at all, and his crotch received the blow.

However, his kick did not only have the normal effect of shattering the balls. The man’s balls shot above with an explosive speed before piercing through his skull.

Under Zhou Chen’s attack, this tattooed man instantly broke into two. His body exploded from the middle, spewing out a large amount of filthy liquid in all directions before splitting into two and falling to the ground.

This explosive scene immediately caused the hall to fall silent. The woman who had been struggling with all her might in the muscular man’s arms was stunned. She did not even realize that her face had been splattered with blood. The muscular man who was using his arm to hold her was also stunned. He looked at Zhou Chen walking towards him and reflexively threw the woman in his hand down and retreated to the side.

“You… what do you want?! Stay away from me!” He screamed as he retreated, clearly not matching his mighty name.

“So weak. There’s no surprise at all.”

Faced with the burly man’s fear, Zhou Chen felt a little bored and disappointed. He took a step forward and instantly placed his right hand on the head of the burly man who was trying to retreat. Then, he used a little strength and quickly smashed the burly man’s head into his neck and chest..
