Yang Kang and the others were stunned for a moment.

Immediately, they looked to their left and right.

So, the person who threw that object from a height was one of The Artist's people?

Of course, they only glanced around a few times before withdrawing their gaze.

There was no other reason; it was simply because the pressure these people around them exerted was too immense.

"Compared to killing Jiang Ran, Artist, what I want to know is, regarding the remaining three of us and the activity we promised to pay you for, can you really guarantee our safe departure in the end?"

Yang Kang refocused his mind, centering his attention once more on his own life.

The Artist said, "That's for certain. After all, I was the one who proposed that activity. I wouldn't undermine my own platform."

Yang Kang pondered, "You call yourself The Artist. I'm genuinely afraid that in the final stage, you might bring us despair while giving us hope."

The Artist chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm not that bored. I absolutely will not kill you at the very last moment of your departure."

"That wouldn't be art; that would be being a scoundrel."

Yang Kang asked, "Then what is the true purpose of your 'five go, three stay' design?"

The Artist thought for a moment. "It was just a sudden whim. I wanted to see if you five would turn on each other without us intervening."

"After all, a collapse caused by external forces lacks the aesthetic beauty of one caused by internal forces."

Yang Kang nodded. "In that case, if we can truly get out, the three of us will each give you fifty million. I hope you won't find it too little."

Hearing the amount of fifty million per person, The Artist showed no reaction, but the other residents present certainly did.

After all, even the most notorious deranged criminals and deranged serial killers have to make a living.

Money is naturally very important to them, and more is always better.

Even though they can't go out, in modern society, one can spend money like water even at home.

For example, topping up games or online shopping.

Of course, for many of the people here in Alice Apartment, a lot of the money is spent on calling male escorts or prostitutes for in-call services.

And, the more money spent, the better the looks and figures of the escorts or prostitutes called.

So, hearing fifty million per person, adding up to 150 million, everyone's hearts were stirred.

"Too little? How could that be? We're overjoyed!"

"Although I don't really need much money myself, the brothers following me all do! 150 million is perfect. Everyone present gets a share, no matter who, it's divided equally!!!"

In a team, it's usually the boss, the upper echelon, who gets more, and the lower ranks who get less.

But here, it was equal division.

No wonder The Artist, having not been in Alice Apartment for long, was able to win over so many residents.

Hearing about equal division, everyone in the room cheered.

"So, you see, you three are our Sponsors. We'd be too busy protecting you to even think of harming you! Especially not with money on the line."

"So, you can rest assured."

Even with these words, Yang Kang and the others still didn't dare to truly let their guard down.

"Good. Next, let's discuss how to kill Jiang Ran."

The Artist looked out the balcony window and noticed a golden hue had appeared in the sky outside.

The gold began to sweep across the entire land.

Checking the time on his phone, it was already past 4:00 PM.

There were still many long hours of waiting until 12:00 midnight.

"I have an idea. Have Jia Tao or Yang Kang and the others contact Jiang Ran, saying they've found the person he's looking for. Then we lure him to a place and set up an ambush there in advance."

This idea was proposed by a middle-aged woman.

This middle-aged woman had slit-like eyes, very small.

Besides that, she was short, fat, and round. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Anyone who knew her would likely recognize who she was.

She was a female murderous fiend.

Most of her victims were men and women with superior looks.

She killed women with superior looks because she had been short, fat, and round since childhood, suffering greatly due to her appearance.

She envied these women born with good looks.

She killed men with superior looks because she liked them, and also because she hated them.

Hearing this idea, The Artist shook his head. "No, that method won't work on Jiang Ran. On the contrary, it will make him wary and prepare in advance."

"What about the rest of you? Any ideas?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man spoke up. "First, locate his position, then strike him directly, catching him completely off guard."

This middle-aged man was unremarkable in appearance but gave off a feeling of being clean and efficient in both personal and professional matters.

In fact, he was the leader of a home invasion robbery gang.

The Artist said, "Good idea. Often, such sudden actions can achieve miraculous results."

"Anyone opposed?"

No one objected.

"Since that's the case, everyone go and prepare. I'll have someone check where Jiang Ran is right now."

Subsequently, the door to Room 504 opened, and the people inside filed out.

Soon, only a few people remained in Room 504.

Of course, Yang Kang and his group hadn't left yet.

The Artist said to Yang Kang and the others, "You can go back. Of course, if you want to participate in the operation to hunt Jiang Ran, you can come along. However, because you sponsored the funds, it's entirely up to you whether you come or not."

Yang Kang and the others shook their heads, indicating they didn't want to go to such a dangerous place to watch the spectacle, so they all left Room 504 as well.

Thus, only The Artist, Jia Tao, and his two companions remained in Room 504.

Seeing that everyone had left, Jia Tao said, "I have a question. Didn't you try to recruit Jiang Ran? If he could join your team, he would definitely be a huge asset."

"No. Some people can be recruited, others cannot. Jiang Ran is clearly not one of us. He can't be recruited."

The Artist chuckled. "That's something not even worth attempting."

Two live stream rooms.

The entire live stream from Room 504 was watched clearly by these people.

Consequently, it not only affected those who hadn't watched much of the 'Far Neighbor' game live stream, but also those who had.

It simply made their hair stand on end.

Because, not to mention those who hadn't watched, even those who had, like the Middle-aged Uncle and the Domineering Female CEO, had indeed seen The Artist convene meetings before.

But those meetings had, at most, seven or eight people.

Where was it like today's situation?

A full several dozen people!!!

No less than thirty or forty!!!

A group of this scale appearing in Alice Apartment.

What a terrifying force?

And, it had erupted so quietly, with so many people all at once.

Of course, the most terrifying thing of all was that every person in this team was a butcher with blood on their hands.

It was no exaggeration to say that if we're talking about kill counts, the world-famous Jack the Ripper could only be a little brother here.

Because that guy's kill count, the so-called 'at least five,' were all low-level prostitutes.

Now, this terrifying force was more than enough to easily kill any individual or group existing in the apartment.

And then, the gun's muzzle was aimed at an individual—Jiang Ran...
