Chapter 25 Flaws

Some things, once started, can never be taken back.

Xiao Yi, who was killed, seemed to be a prelude, opening the curtain of death. Zeng Ruguo and Zhong Chengjian both died tragically in just two days, but the scythe of the god of death did not stop. On the second day after the woman's resurrection, a fourth dead man appeared.

It's just that it wasn't one of them who died, but the little ten of the triplets.

This time it was Xiao Shi's body that Xu Xiaocheng found. As soon as she entered the toilet, she screamed and ran out, saying that she was dead again, and dead again.

"Who died?" Tang Yaoyao asked.

"I don't know, it feels like those two little girls." Xu Xiaocheng's eyes widened, her reaction to seeing the corpse had calmed down a lot, at least she didn't vomit non-stop, "I didn't dare to look at it, I just glanced at it. ran away."

So everyone went to the toilet and saw the bodies scattered in the toilet.

Similar to Xiao Yi who was hacked to death by a random knife, Xiao Shi's body was also in a messy state, which could be described as flying corpses.

This time, everyone was calmer after seeing the corpse. Lin Qiushi simply checked the scene and determined that Xiao Shi was dead and could no longer die.

Ruan Nanzhu didn't speak, standing beside him remained silent.

Lin Qiushi asked in a low voice what he was thinking.

"It's okay." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I'm just curious how her mother will react when she sees this scene this time."

When everyone thought of the woman, their faces became ugly.

However, when Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Ruan Nanzhu just mentioned the woman, and she appeared at the door of the toilet. This time, she didn't cry and looked very calm. Holding the mop and pocket in his hand, he began to slowly pick up his daughter's body with his head down.

Like a mime, there was only the sticky sound of the mop on the blood. The woman skillfully put all the corpses into the bag, and dragged it away in silence.

"I feel very uncomfortable." Tang Yaoyao's face turned pale, "How about you?"

"Me too." Zhang Xinghuo said, "Can we really live to that day?"

There are still two days before their birthday, but they are already living like a year.

No one can answer Zhang Xinghuo's question. In such a world, everyone's life is not guaranteed at all, and it seems that they can survive only by pure luck.

In the afternoon, Tang Yaoyao felt unwell, so she went back to rest early.

Lin Qiushi remembered what happened yesterday, so she politely reminded her to be careful.

Tang Yaoyao didn't take Lin Qiushi's words to heart, she nodded casually, turned around and left, Xu Xiaocheng looked at her back and hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiushi asked when he saw Xu Xiaocheng's appearance.

"It's okay." Xu Xiaocheng said, "I just think it might be safer for everyone to stay together."

Zhang Xinghuo said: "There is nothing safe or unsafe. Even if everyone is together now, they have to be separated at night."

That's the truth, Lin Qiushi sighed.

Everyone was in a bad mood and didn't have much time to chat.

After a simple dinner, Ruan Nanzhu said that he was tired, so he took Lin Qiushi and returned to the coffin room.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiushi asked, "Why are you so anxious today?"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "I want to stay with you for a while..."

Lin Qiushi: "...Speak human words."

Ruan Nanzhu: "I seem to know where the door is."

Lin Qiushi was shocked: "Do you know where the door is?"

"It's just a guess." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I'm going to verify, this matter is more dangerous, so you..."

"I'll go with you." Lin Qiushi knew what Ruan Nanzhu wanted to say, and he interrupted him, "Although I can't help too much, at least the two of them take care of each other." He pursed his lips , his voice lowered, "I know I'm weak now, but if something happens to you..."

Ruan Nanzhu smiled like a smile: "That's right, if something happens to me, you'll be a widower."

Lin Qiushi: "..."

Ruan Nanzhu: "I don't allow you to find other women."

Lin Qiushi was overwhelmed and asked if we can stop making trouble.

Ruan Nanzhu reached out and patted Lin Qiushi's butt, and said, "Okay, let's go now."

Lin Qiushi: "..." You really owe it.

A few minutes later, the two appeared on the roof. There is still a heavy lock on the roof, the lock is stained with rust, it should not be used for a long time. But compared with before, Lin Qiushi noticed that there was a little more things on the lock, as if someone had opened it, especially the position of the keyhole, there were traces of friction.

"Someone came to the top floor?" Lin Qiushi immediately thought of the door that couldn't be opened in the fairy tale, and he said, "Is this the door?"

"Maybe." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I'm not sure, so I plan to go up and have a look. You help me watch the wind here."

Lin Qiushi nodded.

Ruan Nanzhu took out the departure card and started to unlock it. He was really good at this, and he opened the big lock with three strokes and five divisions.

With a swipe, the lock fell to the ground, and the iron door was slowly opened by Ruan Nanzhu, making a slight creaking sound.

The scenery on the rooftop was also revealed in front of the two of them along with the opened iron door. Although it was already dark outside, Lin Qiushi could barely see the situation on the rooftop. saw that there were countless black cloth bags on the rooftop. These cloth bags were so familiar that Lin Qiushi had just seen them this afternoon—the body bags that women used to hold the bodies of triplets.

However, at this time, dozens of such bags appeared in front of his eyes.

"Tsk." Ruan Nanzhu tutted softly and turned to look at Lin Qiushi, "We seem to be in trouble."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "What would happen if it was not the three sisters who opened the door, but the eggs."

Before Lin Qiushi could speak, he saw Ruan Nanzhu stepped up and stepped into the rooftop: "But since you have come..."

Lin Qiushi: "..." My friend, do you think you're here to travel? God is here, do you want to buy some souvenirs to go back?

Ruan Nanzhu went to the rooftop and looked left and right, as if he was looking for something.

Lin Qiushi saw him turn around on the rooftop, and finally stopped in a corner. The corner was filled with black cloth bags, which made people feel like they didn't want to get close.

Lin Qiushi stood at the door and gave Ruan Nanzhu the wind, watching him bend down and start rummaging on the cloth bag. However, at this moment, he heard slight footsteps, which seemed to be coming in this direction.

"Nanzhu!! Someone's coming!!" Lin Qiushi whispered, "Come out soon"

Ruan Nanzhu hummed, but did not move.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Lin Qiushi was so anxious that a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Although he didn't know who was coming, he always had a feeling that it was best not to let others know about them going to the rooftop.

"Come on." Ruan Nanzhu seemed to have finally found what he was looking for, and then got up. Fortunately, he moved quickly, rushed to the door, then closed the iron door and hung the iron lock. The whole action was completed in one go.

And the footsteps came downstairs.

Lin Qiushi had an idea, took Ruan Nanzhu's hand, pushed him against the wall, and then got close to Ruan Nanzhu, pretending that the two were making out.

"Who?" When the footsteps came to the side, Lin Qiushi turned his head, with an expression of impatience to be disturbed, "Who is there?"

No one spoke.

Ruan Nanzhu gave Lin Qiushi a look, and the two got up and walked downstairs, but they didn't see anyone downstairs, as if the footsteps they heard just now were just an illusion.

"No one?" Lin Qiushi said.

Ruan Nanzhu shook his head and pointed to the corner of the wall.

Lin Qiushi looked in the direction he pointed, only to find that there was a smear of blood in the corner of the wall. The blood was like a trace of something dragged on the ground. The only thing Lin Qiushi could think of was a black body bag.

"It's okay." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Lin Lin, your reaction is fast enough."

Lin Qiushi: "It's okay." In fact, his palms were sweaty, and he wiped it twice, "What did you see?"

Ruan Nanzhu said, "Go back and talk."

So the two returned to the coffin room.

Because the sound insulation here is too poor, they dare not speak too loudly. Ruan Nanzhu leaned against Lin Qiushi, his voice as low as possible, and said, "I found the door."

"Found it?" Lin Qiushi didn't expect it to go so smoothly, "On the roof?"

"Yes, it was covered by a body bag on the floor at the top of the building." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I guess the key will appear on the birthday, so you must seize the opportunity."

"Well." I don't know why, when Ruan Nanzhu was around, Lin Qiushi always felt very at ease, and now that he had found the way out, he always felt relieved.

"Go to sleep." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I'll stay for a while and then go out."

The next morning, everyone gathered in the living room.

Because Tang Yaoyao was also stained with blood, Lin Qiushi paid special attention to her and found that she had no accident and had breakfast with everyone on time.

"I want to go downstairs to have a look today." Ruan Nanzhu said, "There should be information on the two people downstairs."

"I'll be with you." Lin Qiushi said.

Tang Yaoyao said that she didn't want to go anymore. She had been running downstairs for the past two days, and she didn't get any information. She was either locked up or unable to communicate. And the worst thing is that the elevator can't go down, and you have to run the stairs for more than ten floors. Every time you run, it feels like you are in a horror movie.

"Then you are on top, Yu Linlin and I will go down." Ruan Nanzhu said.

"I want to be with you." Xu Xiaocheng said quickly, she looked at Ruan Nanzhu timidly, "Sister Zhu Meng, is it alright?"

"Whatever you want." Ruan Nanzhu said indifferently.

So the three of them stood up and walked towards the door. When they were leaving, Lin Qiushi noticed that the bedroom door had opened a crack, and a pair of eyes appeared in the crack. It seemed that the little soil in the last remaining triplets was secretly sizing them up.

But when her eyes met Lin Qiushi, she immediately moved away, and the door was closed again.

Lin Qiushi frowned upon seeing this.

Climbing from the 14th floor to the 4th floor and not being able to take the elevator in the end is a painful thing. Especially the stairwell is dark and narrow, with a damp smell unique to the old building.

"When can I go out?" Xu Xiaocheng asked such a question as she went downstairs, "Sister Zhu Meng, I'm so scared every day."

"It's almost time." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Let's stay for two more days."

Xu Xiaocheng nodded haggardly.

Lin Qiushi looked at her appearance, but became a little curious. Ruan Nanzhu said that she was taking over the job, and she was still a big star in reality. just don't know how Ruan Nanzhu used to pick up the job, and how to connect with Xu Xiaocheng.

"It's here." Just when Lin Qiushi was thinking about the problem, they had already reached the fourth floor, but as soon as they left the stairwell on the fourth floor, they smelled a strong smell of blood. People with insensitive noses may be able to smell it clearly.

"What's the smell? It's disgusting." Xu Xiaocheng covered her nose and fanned with her hand.

"The smell of blood." Lin Qiushi was very familiar with the smell. He walked in the front and saw the resident at the end of the corridor at a glance.

"Damn it." After seeing the resident's condition, Lin Qiushi couldn't help but swear.

I saw that the door of the resident was wide open, and the door was covered with bright red blood.

The three did not speak, and walked to the door of the resident.

"Is there anyone?" Lin Qiushi called out hopelessly at the door.

As he expected, there was no response from the room, he stepped over the blood, glanced into the room, and found that the whole house was dark. He took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and illuminated the room with the light of the flashlight.

Although he was already mentally prepared, Lin Qiushi involuntarily took a step back when the light of the onlookers illuminated a bloody corpse.

"Dead." Ruan Nanzhu stepped into the house.

All the windows of this house were sealed with wooden boards, and no light could be seen. The house was fairly clean. The owner of the house was the young man who opened the door for them a few days ago.

At this point, he had lost the features of his life, and the corpse was slumped on the sofa with his head up, with a very frightened expression on his face.

"The eyes were gouged out." Ruan Nanzhu said.

Lin Qiushi walked behind Ruan Nanzhu, glanced at the corpse, and found that the man's eyeballs were gone, leaving only two large bloody holes. This reminded him of Zeng Ruguo, whose skull was chiseled, and Zhong Chengjian, whose flesh and bones were dug up.

"Why did he die suddenly?" Lin Qiushi said, "Is something wrong?"

Ruan Nanzhu didn't speak. He went to the nearby wall to find the switch of the light in the house. After pressing it, the light above his head turned on.

"There is also blood on the windows." With sufficient lighting, it is much easier to observe. Lin Qiushi noticed some strange conditions in the room. He saw that the closed windows were full of blood. These blood should not belong to the deceased. Because he is at least two or three meters away from the window.

"Do you still remember the blood at their door?" Ruan Nanzhu said, "I thought that the blood might ward off evil spirits, but now I want to come..."

"Is someone trying to kill them?" Lin Qiushi suddenly realized, "Someone deliberately splashed blood at their door?"

"Well." Ruan Nanzhu nodded.

"Did this person die for Tang Yaoyao?" Lin Qiushi remembered something, Tang Yaoyao also had blood on her body, but she survived the night safely. He thought she had escaped the disaster, but he didn't expect that Another dead man was seen behind the building.

"It should be." Ruan Nanzhu said.

"Let's go to the first floor again." Lin Qiushi thought of the old grandmother downstairs and wanted to know the situation there.

"Go." Ruan Nanzhu agreed.

They left the fourth floor and went to the first floor, where they saw the closed door. Sure enough, as Ruan Nanzhu reasoned, although the door on the first floor was closed, something new appeared - fresh blood was poured on the door, and the blood had not even solidified. At first glance, it looked like it had just been made up.

Ruan Nanzhu reached out and knocked on the door.

They didn't expect the people inside to respond. Who knew that after a while, the old man actually opened the door for them. She half-squinted her eyes and looked at the three of them with cloudy eyes, mumbling something.

Lin Qiushi didn't need to listen to know that she must be repeating that sentence: "I've eaten it."

He had never paid much attention to the old lady's repeated words before, but now that he thinks about it, this sentence is inexplicably creepy.

Why did she keep eating it over and over again, and who was going to feed her? What to eat? And although she was old and confused, she was still conditioned to refuse.

"Old lady, what do you want to eat?" Lin Qiushi asked.

When the question was asked, the old lady was silent for two seconds, and then said in a hoarse voice: "I have eaten, I have eaten the cake."

Lin Qiushi: "..."

"Don't eat, don't eat." The old lady didn't say anything, so she raised her hand to close the door, but Ruan Nanzhu reached out and pulled the iron door, and said warmly, "Old man, are you not going to this year's birthday party?"

When the old man heard the words "birthday party", his body trembled, his turbid eyes showed a strange look, and after a while, he said, "If you don't go, you won't go."

Ruan Nanzhu said, "Why don't you go?"

The old man said: "I haven't come back yet, I have to wait for them." After she finished saying this, she began to repeat that she didn't eat again. No matter what Ruan Nanzhu asked, she couldn't ask anything else.

In desperation, Ruan Nanzhu had to let go and let the door close.

However, although it was only a few words, it had confirmed their guess that there was a reason why this building was empty, and the reason seemed to be the birthdays of the triplets on the fourteenth floor.

"None of those who participated in the birthday survived?" Lin Qiushi analyzed, "But the world's requirement for us is to wait for seven days and participate in their birthday seven days later. Isn't this a paradox?"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "The world of the door will not set a dead end, and participating in a birthday may not be a necessary condition for death."

"What is that?" Lin Qiushi frowned.

"I don't know yet." Ruan Nanzhu said, "We can only wait."

While discussing, they returned to the fourteenth floor.

When Lin Qiushi entered the door, he saw Tang Yaoyao sitting on the sofa with an indifferent expression, and Zhang Xinghuo's face was not good-looking. When the two saw them back, they didn't say hello, and they didn't even mean to say a word.

"What happened?" Xu Xiaocheng asked timidly.

"It's alright." Tang Yaoyao said, "that girl came to trouble us just now."

"To trouble you?" Ruan Nanzhu said, "How do you say it?"

"She insisted on telling me her name," Tang Yaoyao said. "How the hell do I know, the three all look exactly the same, who knows which one died, bad luck." After she said this, she spat out angrily. With one mouthful, "Zhang Xinghuo also said don't be angry with the child, is this a child? I think it's a kid."

Zhang Xinghuo said: "Don't you have this attitude? If she is a kid, wouldn't your attitude towards her die faster!"

"It's uncertain who will die first!" Tang Yaoyao said irritably, "I really don't know what you're thinking, can you recognize it?"

Zhang Xinghuo fell silent.

It seems that Tang Yaoyao has been in a bad mood since she got bloody yesterday, especially now.

"The remaining one is Xiaotu, don't say it wrong next time." Ruan Nanzhu said calmly, "This may be the condition of death. We just went down and saw the man on the fourth floor dead."

Then Lin Qiushi talked about the situation on the fourth floor, and also shared some information given by the old man.

Who knew that after listening to the information he shared, Tang Yaoyao's attitude was even worse. She stood up and circled around the room like a trapped beast, her expression extremely grim.

"Tang Yaoyao, what's the matter with you?" Xu Xiaocheng asked worriedly when she saw her appearance.

"Don't worry about me." Tang Yaoyao said, "I'm fine!!" As she spoke, she rubbed her arm hard.

The weather here is not cold, everyone is wearing short sleeves and jackets, Tang Yaoyao is the same, wearing a T-shirt inside and a single shirt outside, the movements of the hands are very large and very rough.

Everyone didn't speak, and everyone felt that something was wrong with Tang Yaoyao.

"Tang Yaoyao, what's wrong with your hand..." Xu Xiaocheng couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice.

Tang Yaoyao said angrily, "What's wrong with me? I'm fine, I'm very, very good!!" After she said this, she rolled up her sleeves and continued to rub her arms.

But after she rolled up her sleeves, Lin Qiushi saw a trace on her hand.

It was a smear of red marks, which looked like blood splattered on it. Tang Yaoyao rubbed it hard with her hands, as if it was extremely itchy.

Then, Lin Qiushi saw that the red mark began to spread gradually, from the forearm to the shoulder. Everyone's eyes widened, apparently seeing this terrifying scene, but Tang Yaoyao didn't feel anything, and continued her actions until she noticed everyone's eyes.

"What are you looking at me for?" Tang Yaoyao, whose cheeks also turned blood red, asked in so much confusion.

The author has something to say:

Ruan Nanzhu: Come here...

Lin Qiushi: Where are you touching?

When I think of the Chinese New Year, I can't help but hit the sky, the holidays are all for others, and I don't have anything.
