Before he knew it, Gu Xu had stopped his movements.

Eyes that are indefinitely bright are locked firmly on the young man who is in a daze.

This person loves acting, and his mouth is mixed with truth and falsehood. No one knows which sentence is true and which is false, but his concern is always the most direct and sincere, and he never hides it.

Gu Xu's world had been completely destroyed, and under the care of Xu Fang, he had to rebuild a small town with difficulty.

The small town was not big, and it contained two people he didn't care much about. One of them wanted to kill him for the sake of profit and power, and the other was old, but still quietly guarded him and watched him.

But only Gu Xu himself knew that this was not enough.

There are still a lot of empty houses in that small town, or, fill them all up.

Or, destroy them all.

Li Yu lost another fight with the system. He recovered angrily, and when he caught a glimpse of the man's eyes, his scalp was numb and his forehead was cold.

The man's eyes were too aggressive, like a fine net, wrapping him tightly from head to toe.

Subconsciously scratching the back of his neck, Li Yu stood up, "I'll go take a bath first."

The housekeeper watched the young man leave, thinking in his heart.

According to the young master's temper, he doesn't seem to be someone who is willing to listen to people's nonsense, but allows the lawyer to talk to and fro for half an hour in front of him.

This is not normal.

His gaze shifted, and following the eldest young master's gaze, he landed on the closed bathroom door.

At this moment, the butler suddenly understood.

The young master is waiting, waiting for someone, a concern and a maintenance.

The housekeeper rubbed his forehead. Even though he knew he had no right to intervene, he couldn't help but say, "Chen Jing's identity is doubtful."

Before everyone officially enters the Gujia work, they will conduct a thorough investigation, so as not to mix into anyone's eyeliner.

Naturally, they also checked Li Yu's identity. It has been six years since he started working away from his hometown at the age of sixteen.

During this period, he worked odd jobs, delivered takeaways, ran night taxis, and moved bricks at the construction site.

Judging from this resume, the young man should have endured a lot of hardships and exhaustion. Let's not talk about character, just the thin skin and tender meat would go against these experiences.

"I know." Gu Xu interrupted the housekeeper's thoughts, "Uncle Li, I know it."

The butler opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

Li Yu came out of the shower, fragrant all over. He wiped his hair and sat beside Gu Xu, staring at the screen generously.

The man is not writing code today, but is writing some kind of document, densely packed, listing a lot of data and charts.

Li Yu looked dizzy, got up, moved his legs, and went to sleep.

As soon as touched the pillow, that terrible nightmare came to mind.

The small building with the red roof, the endless corridor on the second floor, the screams of women, the children running around with wounds on their faces... By the way, there are monsters transformed from children.

For a person who has never dreamed, suddenly dreaming is a very novel thing.

But this novelty cannot defeat the fear brought by dreams at all.

Li Yu put his hands on his abdomen, closed his eyes, and let the system play a cross talk. After a while, he fell asleep amid the laughter in the background.

I don't know how long it took, when my foot was suddenly touched.

Li Yu opened his eyes in a daze, "..."

Paralyzed, nightmare again.

His legs were being embraced by a pair of short arms, and the owner of the arms was looking up at him with a blue nose and a swollen face.

Li Yu's eyes shifted slightly and landed on the child's feet. It was too dark to see a shadow.

But this does not mean that this is a normal child.

Li Yu didn't dare to reach out and pick him up, so he asked him bravely, "Why are you here, is this your home?"

The child did not speak, but blinked.

Li Yu's scalp was numb, and his eyes fluttered, for fear of seeing those strange arms again.

He swallowed and squatted down, "What's your name?"

The child frowned, and his dark eyes stared at the person in front of him for a moment, like a dry well with a deep abyss, which made people shudder.

Li Yu felt uncomfortable, and was about to get up when the child grabbed his sleeve and pulled him down.

The little boy was very fast, and he opened his mouth and took a heavy bite on his ear.

"Hold!"

Li Yuchi scolded, grabbed the child's arm, raised his hand and slapped on the little butt.

The child was stunned, his expression suddenly changed.

Suddenly a little brighter in the dim space, Li Yu turned his head to look out the window, there was a moon in the sky.

The moonlight came in and slowly elongated the shadows under the two of them.

Li Yu closed his eyes in despair, got up and ran.

To be honest, when just spanked the bear child, it was really cool, and now, hehe, went straight to the crematorium.

The sound of walking that belonged to a child gradually turned into heavier footsteps, mixed with the sound of fingernails scratching the floor.

Li Yu found a random room on the second floor and got into it, indented in the corner, not daring to make a sound.

With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open.

The tall and deformed monster walked in. Because of the limited vision, Li Yu could only see the other's black feet with sharp nails, but they were only outlines.

To be precise, this monster is more like a shadow that has turned into reality.

The more Li Yu thought about it, the more terrifying he became, and he wanted to cry, what the hell is this shit!

He covered his mouth hard, held his breath, desperately shrinking to the corner of the wall, hypnotizing himself, "He can't see me, can't see me, can't see me."

The monster didn't leave, but like a pet, deliberately walked around the house slowly along the base of the wall.

Li Yu, "..."

This IQ, at least five or six years old.

The slender black sickle arm dragged across the ground, making a sharp sound that could penetrate the eardrums.

Li Yu's goosebumps suddenly arose, and his heart was tightened by the sound.

Just when he couldn't help rushing out to beat him, a woman's scream came from the corridor.

The monster hesitated for a moment and left the room with two arms.

Li Yu crawled out of the corner, pressed his chest, and said to himself, "It's fucking scary, if it's a dream, then it's too real."

So this is not an ordinary nightmare, whether it is auditory, visual, or from the perspective of self-reaction, this is more like what happened in a real space.

The screams in the corridor continued, as if they were venting maliciously, for a while, and then sounded again.

If you pay attention, you can still hear the sound of beating.

Afraid of returning to fear, curiosity still has to try to satisfy.

Li Yu cat went out with his waist and heel, and was far behind the shadow monster, and as he got closer, the woman's scream became louder and louder.

Under the irritating voice, there was still the cry of a child.

For some reason, Li Yu thought of the scarred child, but isn't the child a shadow monster.

Li Yu shook his head, dispelling the fog in his mind.

When he looked up again, the shadow monster had already walked into the darkness at the end.

Li Yu, "..."

Fuck, he looks so ugly, and he jumps very fast.

He quickened his pace to catch up, only to find that the end of the darkness was a closed wooden door.

The curses and the cry of the child were overflowing from the crack of the door below, and the two voices were intertwined, and it looked very strange in such a place where there were no fingers.

Li Yu raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Anyone?"

The two voices in the room were not interrupted, instead they became louder and louder, coming from all directions, making people's minds bloated.

Just as he was about to leave, the wooden door automatically popped open.

By the moonlight outside the room window, Li Yu could see that this was a bedroom.

In the bedroom stood a woman with disheveled hair.

She grabbed her hair irritably and walked around in place, "I told you not to cry, shut up, I told you to shut up!"

Li Yu followed the cry and saw a child squatting behind a cardboard box.

The corner of the child's mouth was wounded, his eyes were red from crying, and his arms and legs were all bruised, which was more serious than what he saw downstairs before.

The impatient woman stopped suddenly and poked the child's forehead hard with her pointed fingernails.

"I asked you to please your father, why didn't you go? What else would you do but cry?"

It was probably too painful, and the child's cry suddenly rose.

The woman's anger exploded, and she raised her hand irritably.

Li Yu rushed in immediately, and his fingers failed to intercept the opponent's hand, but passed through the violent wrist.

"Snapped."

The slap fell, and the cry of the child stopped.

The woman didn't stop, but raised her high heels and kicked it, then pulled the child up from the ground and pushed and shoved like a sandbag.

Li Yu has never seen such a situation. In his perception, those lucky children who have not been abandoned should have loved each other with their parents and grew up being spoiled.

"Stop!" He shouted at the top of his voice, reaching out to pull and block, to no avail.

Repulsed by the suffocating space, he couldn't do anything.

At this moment, the child who closed his eyes and curled up on the ground suddenly opened his eyes.

The shadow pressed under the weak body slowly elongated, becoming tall, deformed, and weird.

Li Yu saw in horror that a black shadow climbed up from the ground.

The woman who was beating was completely unaware of this, her face was contorted from venting, and the corners of her mouth grinned exaggeratedly.

Crazy, this is a fucking lunatic!

As soon as this thought fell, Li Yu saw the black shadow waving his arm and slashing down quickly.

Blood splattered, blood everywhere on the floor, walls, cardboard boxes.

The black shadow did not end the killing, it was like a manipulated puppet, bent over stiffly, and opened its mouthparts——

Realizing what he was going to do, Li Yu couldn't bear it any longer, squatted on the ground and retched, almost spitting out his bile.

At this moment, he lost all interest in this nightmare and just wanted to leave quickly.

But not to mention going out, it was difficult to even move his feet, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and they were frozen in place.

Li Yu wanted to cry without tears, and turned his head to stare at the initiator.

The child was still curled up on the ground, dying. Probably sensing someone nearby, he opened his eyes with difficulty.

That pitiful look made Li Yu's heart soften again.

He squatted down, stared into the child's eyes and asked, "Little boy, is your name Gu Xu?"
