Chapter 53: Uncle Khang - Little Mai

Right, I remember now. The person living upstairs is not named Mai...

Hoang Tuan recalled the words displayed on the computer screen when he entered this world. Though the expression in those words was a bit strange, he could still gather some information from them.

From what his mother said, he knew that the person living upstairs is a man named Khang.

Last night, they even saw Khang jumping off the building, although the body was somewhat mutilated, they could clearly see that it was a man.

"Surely the person named Mai is a girl."

"Uncle Khang? Little mai?"

"What is their relationship?"

"Well, there is only one person living upstairs..."

"Could it be that the man living upstairs is named Khang Mai?"

Hoang Tuan thought about it.

Suddenly, he thought of something terrible, and a chill ran through his body that he couldn't avoid.

The things that were written before he entered this world, he remembered that there was a part where his mother would tell Mai to come downstairs and sleep with him.

Just thinking about the horrible image of the two men crowded on the small bed in his bedroom.

He immediately suppressed his wild imagination.

"Come on! Why are you still standing there? Give back the vegetable peeler and eat the noodles!"

His mother brought out some fragrant noodles from the kitchen, urging them.

Interestingly enough, his mother's cooking skills were still as excellent as ever. The simple stir-fried noodles with onions and garlic that she made were very delicious and filled the room with a mouth-watering aroma.

Hoang Tuan, who had only eaten biscuits last night, eagerly wanted to eat this bowl of noodles and satisfy his taste buds.

Finally, the task of cutting the vegetable peeler was given to him.

Due to his character setup, small tasks like these were usually assigned to him, just like buying salt earlier, basically all the household chores were handed over to Hoang Tuan.

He couldn't escape from it.

This time, the task was simply to go upstairs and return the vegetable peeler, not like buying salt, there was a reason to let someone else go along...

However, Hoang Tuan didn't think it was a bad thing.

At the moment, he found the issue of the person living upstairs very confusing, and maybe he should go and see if he could resolve it...

Although the apartment complex was a bit old, the layout and arrangement were still decent and tidy.

The hallway was not gloomy and monotonous like in traditional ghost stories, the lighting was very good, and under the rays of sunlight filtering through, the steps were like being covered with a slightly yellow carpet.

Hoang Tuan passed through some rusty handrails, walked up the stairs, and quickly arrived in front of a family's door.

Both sides of the door had faded graffiti.

Some of the drawings were probably made by mischievous children.

In the corner was the trash chute, which was open.

In general, a regular apartment complex would have a place to dump trash like this.

In an era when elevators were not common...

For the convenience of disposing of garbage, the person living on a higher floor would directly throw the trash into this chute, and the garbage would fall directly into the trash dump on the ground floor.

Hoang Tuan's right hand reached into his pants and took hold of the rìu quietly hidden in his belt.

With a vegetable peeler in his left hand, he knocked on the door in front of him.

Although there were no signs of impending danger to warn in this place, Hoang Tuan thought it would be better to be cautious.

To prevent some monster from jumping out and twisting his head!

After knocking on the door.

Hoang Tuan waited for a moment...

He could hear some movement coming from inside the house, indicating that someone was coming towards the door.

"Is it true that he jumped off the building last night?"

While Hoang Tuan was guessing.

The door in front of him also opened!

The man in the room seemed to be someone else.

He looked at Hoang Tuan in front of the door with joy on his face.

"Huh? Hoang Tuan, why are you here?"

Hearing those words.

Hoang Tuan stopped in his tracks.

He looked back at Khang, who was now amiable, and for a moment, he didn't understand what strange thing was happening.

Just now, his attitude wasn't that bad, right?

Why now...

Hoang Tuan squinted his eyes and hesitated to repeat the sentence he said earlier.

"uncle Khang, last time my mom borrowed the vegetable peeler from you, she just remembered it today and asked me to come upstairs to return it to you."

After hearing what Hoang Tuan said, Khang's eyes turned to the vegetable peeler in Hoang Tuan's hand, and his expression completely changed from before, he smiled and said, "It's okay, at home, you need to use it, I have another one at home."

"I've already bought one, still return it to you, anyway, it's borrowed."

When Hoang Tuan spoke, he brought the vegetable peeler in his hand forward.

His right hand holding the rìu was slightly tightened, if there was anything wrong, he would not hesitate to swing the rìu directly.

But the man responded very well.

He took the vegetable peeler while saying, "Alright."

After returning the vegetable peeler, uncle Khang invited Hoang Tuan to stay for a while, watch TV, and have a drink...

"Thank you, but my mom is at home cooking noodles, if I don't go down, I will be scolded by her."

Hoang Tuan politely declined the invitation.

He immediately turned around to leave, he had been upstairs for quite a while, hoping not to be scolded
