"You actually got this..."

Grandma's eyes betrayed her apprehension, as if she were looking beyond the wall towards a distant point outside: "The stairwell... do you know what's in the stairwell?"

Stairwell?

Almost instantly, Nanxi thought of the giant flesh-colored tree in the stairwell.

She simply stood up, picked up the bottle from the table, and headed for the door.

Nanxi stepped out of the door and opened the stairwell door.

The moment the door opened, the previously veneered peaceful residential building immediately revealed its menacing side, with a slender, crooked, flesh-colored giant tree appearing in the stairwell.

It would be more accurate to call it a giant tree, or perhaps a vine.

The long, fleshy vines spiraled and spread above the staircases, their strange, twisted limbs filling the entire stairwell.

This is only the 17th floor, not the top floor, so what Nanxi saw was only a section of this flesh-colored vine.

Every time I see this giant tree, I feel a bit sanity-dropping.

Even though I knew this was what was in the stairwell, seeing it in person still gave me a feeling of...

What exactly is this thing?

"This thing is very strange, but it tastes terrible."

The ball in my mind posted its comment at this moment.

It had eaten a bite of this vine when it was in the property management office, and just thinking about that taste made its blood-red eyes wrinkle immediately.

Nanxi nodded in approval.

She could smell the ghost's scent, but she couldn't smell any fragrance from the flesh-colored vines.

Instead, a strange, foul odor wafted from the tip of my nose.

But that's not important.

Nanxi immediately opened the bottle and splashed it onto the vines in front of her. A cloud of white powder immediately landed on the vines.

"hiss--"

The next second, the flesh-colored vines suddenly began to twitch violently, as if they had transformed into a giant flesh-colored python, writhing its body wildly in the stairwell.

"Wow."

A fair-skinned woman standing in front of the stairwell couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "I never imagined that what's in this bottle would actually work on the giant tree!"

It seems that Grandma knows more than I thought?

"hiss!!!"

That tiny bit of powder was more lethal than imagined. The vines twisted and turned violently, and the tendrils on the branches swayed wildly with its movements. In the intense pain, those tendrils also danced wildly out of control, and one of them came straight at Nanxi!

Just as the blows were about to land on Nanxi, a crisp snap of fingers rang out clearly in the corridor.

boom!

At the same time as the snap of the fingers, the vines in front of Nanxi were shattered into pieces.

Nanxi turned her head and saw Gu Xing wearing a pink apron, his tall figure leaning against the door frame, his cheeks slightly flushed.

"Honey, didn't you say you wanted to eat my cooking during the day? The food is all ready at home."

His attitude was extremely natural, as if he had never paid any attention to the vines in the stairwell, and that only Nanxi was in his eyes.

No, there's also his food.

[So virtuous and capable...]

How wonderful it would be if a handsome man like that were waiting for me at home when I got back.

Hehehe, husband, husband.

[Is it okay if such a handsome man is a sesame seed dumpling with a dark undertone?]

[Pink apron, hehehe...]

Hey upstairs, is there something wrong with your XP?

[Never mind, human desires are free!]

"Okay, let's go back and have dinner then."

Looking at the huge vines that were still trembling and wriggling in front of her, Nanxi turned around and followed Gu Xing with a smile. The two of them entered the house together.

The house was bathed in warm light, which shone on the colorful and delicious dishes on the table. Mom was busy in the kitchen, while Grandma was feeding her cuddly little brother in his stroller at the table.

For a moment, it really felt like a warm little family.

Nanxi raised her eyebrows and walked forward, looking at the dishes on the table: "Gu Xing, which dish...?" Did you make this dish?

He hadn't finished speaking.

Suddenly, the younger brother, who was still in the stroller next to the table, started shaking violently and stood up from his limp body...

Its swaying body was about to smash directly into the food on the table.

"Snapped!"

Nanxi kicked her younger brother's crooked body away, saving her table full of delicious food.

Want to ruin her food?

no way!

After checking that none of the dishes were damaged, Nanxi turned around and saw that her younger brother, who had flown away, had been easily picked up.

Gu Xing's face darkened. His long, slender fingers gripped his younger brother's neck, lifting him up. His voice was low, yet filled with a dangerous undertone: "What were you trying to do?"

His precious, cozy dinner with his wife was almost ruined.

"Ahhhhh!"

The younger brother's face was deathly pale, and large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead and fell to the ground. He was writhing and struggling like a fish that had just been caught.

the strange thing is.

Although he was in great pain, he seemed unable to see Gu Xing in front of him, as if his soul had been attacked.

What's wrong with my little brother?

If you don't want to live, there are many ways to die; there's no need to choose this one...

Why do I feel like my brother's movements are somewhat similar to the vines that were writhing around earlier?

Gu Xing narrowed his eyes, about to squeeze his younger brother to death... Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Knock knock!"

Then came Chen Mingyue's somewhat anxious voice.

"Nanxi, are you alright at home? I don't know what just happened, but all the residents of Building 17, including my family, have gone crazy!"

Has everyone gone completely mad?

Nanxi glanced at her younger brother, who was still trembling wildly, and opened the door.

At the entrance, Chen Mingyue was somewhat disheveled and panting. She immediately checked Nanxi over and over, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Nanxi had no wounds on her body.

Nanxi asked, "What did you mean when you just said that everyone's gone crazy?"

That's what she's curious about.

These words seemed to awaken some memories in Chen Mingyue, and she gasped: "You have no idea, I was just eating when my family members who were engrossed in eating meat and vegetables suddenly started screaming and going crazy. When I ran out, I heard that everyone in the building had turned into this."

Next, Nanxi was the first person I thought of, so I came up to find her.

"Aaaaaaah!"

During the conversation, the younger brother suddenly screamed again in the room, and the mother hurriedly snatched him from Gu Xing's hands.

Gu Xing merely glanced at him coldly, his usually smiling eyes showing no emotion.

Chen Mingyue looked at the chaotic family, then at her younger brother, her eyes widened, and she pointed at him.

"Yes, everyone goes crazy like him."
