Chapter 1106: Rest
Editor: Atlas Studios

Unfortunately, they could not acknowledge each other for the time being. A warm feeling flashed across Zhang Qi’s heart. If only this person was her brother. This sense of security was very nostalgic.

Yu Su coughed. “Zhang Qi, why don’t you rest in your shop for a day? A lot of things in the shop have been smashed.”

Most of the things that were smashed were worthless. Tables, chairs, and benches were smashed. The most valuable things that were destroyed were the cameras. It would probably take a day or two to tidy up.

Zhang Qi said, “Let’s rest for three days. Sister Ye Tang and I can also take a break.”

“Alright.” Yu Su had no objections. She gave Zhuang Yang a deep look and hinted, “You guys have to speed up your actions. This matter is not simple.” She hoped that Zhuang Yang would listen.

Zhuang Yang was a little confused. “You are?”

Yu Su said, “I know your brother. My surname is Yu.”

Hearing this, Zhuang Yang was suddenly stunned. A few seconds later, he reacted and said, “Okay, I understand.”

“What riddle are you guys playing?” Zhang Qi asked in confusion.

Zhuang Yang hurriedly said, “It’s nothing, Zhang Qi. Let me send you back. I happen to be going back too.”

“Okay,” Zhang Qi said with a smile.

When Zhang Qi returned home, she went downstairs to throw away her trash. When she came back, the door was open.

Xu Qian’s eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Qi. “Zhang Qi, you’re back? Why don’t you come and chat with me? I happen to be conceiving a character and need inspiration.”

“Conceiving a character?” Zhang Qi asked curiously.

Xu Qian explained with a smile, “I write mystery novels. I happen to lack a protagonist.”

Zhang Qi was quite interested and agreed. “Sure.”

Xu Qian smiled and let her in. “Aunt Xu, where’s Zhuang Yang?”

“He went out to buy supper. He’ll be back soon.” Xu Qian poured her a glass of water.

Zhang Qi smiled. “Thank you.”

“Let me bring you to the room I have set up,” Xu Qian said.

“Okay.” When Zhang Qi entered the room, she was shocked. The room was filled with suppressing and terrifying factors, such as skeletons and black wallpaper. It looked terrifying.

Xu Qian turned on the lights and let Zhang Qi in. “Did I scare you? Don’t be afraid. This is my studio.” She smiled warmly.

Zhang Qi looked over and saw a table by the window. There was a computer, keyboard, and a few books on the table.

Zhang Qi walked over. “This place is so cool. It can allow one to have many inspirations.”

“Yes!” Xu Qian said. She pushed Zhang Qi to the stool. “Sit down. Auntie wants to ask you a few questions.”

“Sure!” Zhang Qi said excitedly.

Xu Qian turned off the light again and revealed some light from the window. The entire room became dark again.

“Zhang Qi, imagine yourself sitting in an apartment building when there’s suddenly a knock on the door. Look through the peephole. It’s a maintenance worker. The worker said that he wants to enter your house to complete some repairs.” Xu Qian’s voice sounded in the room. There was a sense of narrative in her voice.

Xu Qian continued, “Recently, this place has been unsafe. Five people have been killed in a row. You hesitated and didn’t open the door.”

Zhang Qi’s heart began to beat.

Xu Qian’s voice continued, “At this moment, the maintenance worker blocked the peephole and took out a hammer to smash your door lock. The door lock was almost broken.”

The room seemed to have become even more terrifying. Zhang Qi’s hair stood on end.

“What’s your reaction at this time?” Xu Qian looked at Zhang Qi, her eyes filled with anticipation for her answer. Her fingers were typing on the keyboard.

Zhang Qi closed her eyes. After a while, she said slowly, “First, I’ll take out a weapon. After I find the weapon, I’ll use the escape equipment to go downstairs.”

“Okay!” Xu Qian clapped excitedly. She asked a few more relevant questions before turning on the lights. When the lights were turned on, Zhang Qi felt like she had returned to the real world.

Xu Qian’s fingers quickly typed on the keyboard. “Zhang Qi, you’re very talented as a writer.”

“Really?” Zhang Qi laughed out loud.

Xu Qian said, “Your empathy is very strong, and you can control the immediate reaction of the character.”

After the two of them walked out of the room, Zhang Qi asked, “Aunt Xu, why are there so many medicine bottles on your table?”

Xu Qian said, “I’m sick. These medicines can help me regain my calm.”

As the two of them were chatting, Zhuang Yang returned with supper in his hand.

“You’re here?” He walked over and smiled. “I’ve already contacted the renovation team. They’ll go to your shop for repairs tomorrow. I just need you to open the door for them.”

Zhang Qi nodded and said, “Okay, thank you.” Zhuang Yang had helped her a lot today.
