Chapter 82

After a simple dinner, the sky darkened.

Everyone went back to their respective rooms to prepare to rest, and Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming were no exception. Lin Qiushi simply finished washing up in the room, and instead of going to bed in a hurry, he stood by the window and observed the room opposite.

The place where the baby corpse cried yesterday was just across from them. There were two groups of people living in those rooms, that is, four people. The room that Lin Qiushi moved out in the middle of the night was right in the middle of them.

After inspection during the day, Lin Qiushi didn't find anything unusual in those rooms, except for the small holes on the window paper that were easily overlooked.

The windows here are separated into small pieces by wood, with glass on the top and paper on the bottom. Lin Qiushi can see the outside scene through the glass when he stands by the window, but he can't see anything if he sits down.

"What are you looking at?" Gu Longming, who was lying on the bed, turned his head to look at Lin Qiushi and asked.

"I want to see how that room is different from ours." Lin Qiushi said, "Go to sleep first."

Gu Longming said: "Then let's go together."

Lin Qiushi said: "I'll do it alone, I won't be there for too long, you go to bed first, you won't be able to help you if you're awake anyway."

Gu Longming blinked and looked at Lin Qiushi, but didn't insist: "Okay." He yawned, turned over, and actually fell asleep within two minutes.

Looking at him, Lin Qiushi couldn't help but think of Ruan Nanzhu... Ruan Nanzhu's ability to fall asleep is also top-notch, but then again, the people who enter the door with him to do tasks seem to sleep faster, even Cheng Yixie No exceptions.

The night was dark, and the cool breeze hit the corridor, blowing the lanterns hanging on the corridor to the shaky.

The fire was bright and dark, and Lin Qiushi could only see the scenery of the corridor outside through the darkness. He looked down at his watch, it was eleven o'clock in the evening, almost midnight.

Lin Qiushi was going to wait until twelve o'clock. If there was no change in the room opposite, he would go back to bed.

While thinking about this, Lin Qiushi noticed that at the end of the corridor opposite, a vague red figure appeared at some point. The figure moved slowly in the darkness, and when he was under a lantern, Lin Qiushi finally saw it clearly by the light of the lantern. What the hell is that red figure?

It turned out to be seven or eight children in red clothes. They put their heads on the shoulders of the people in front of them, and moved forward slowly, step by step. don't know if it was because of the distance, that Lin Qiushi couldn't see their appearance clearly, but judging from their walking posture, these children were obviously not human.

They lined up and walked slowly forward. When they reached a window, they suddenly stopped. The first child showed a weird smile on his pale face and slowly turned to face the The window, stood on tiptoe, stretched out a tiny finger, poked a small hole in the paper sticking on the window, and put his face on the hole.

Lin Qiushi saw this scene, and a layer of white sweat formed on his back. Now he finally understood why there were so few small holes in the window of the room he had changed before... If he hadn't taken the baby body with him Come out, without changing rooms, then those little ghosts will see them from the other side of the window paper.

Those things seemed to have noticed that there was no one in the room, so they turned around and went to the next room. Lin Qiushi remembered that the room was occupied by people, so he saw that after poking a hole, the children turned into a stream of blood, which flowed into the room along the hole above the window paper.

These things happened quietly, but in an instant, the corridor was calm again.

Lin Qiushi thought of what happened during the day, and read the clues softly several times: "The sky is panic, the ground is panic, there is a crying boy in my family, the past benefactor recites it three times, and sleeps until the sky..." He After reading it three times in a row, I was about to go back to the bedside to sleep when I saw the back of a woman appearing in the middle of the yard. The women wore long red dresses and long black hair, and looked like the hostess who received them during the day.

She stood there quietly, facing the room where the children entered, her indifferent back like a frozen statue.

Lin Qiushi didn't want to look anymore, he turned around carefully and walked towards the bed. However, just as he was sitting on the edge of the bed, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him. Lin Qiushi was stunned and found that the oil lamp on the table was lit by himself for some reason.

The light of the oil lamp illuminated the whole room, unquestionably attracting the attention of everything in the dark, good and bad.

Between the lights and flints, Lin Qiushi flew to the oil lamp one by one, and he didn't care about anything else, he reached out and picked up the lampshade and quickly covered it over the oil lamp.

The fire of the oil lamp went out instantly, but Lin Qiushi's body froze. He felt a line of sight, a line of sight projected from outside the window. He squatted halfway and didn't dare to straighten up, worried that things outside would see him.

I don't know if Lin Qiushi was too nervous, or what, he even heard the slight sound of the breeze blowing through the skirt outside.

Then, something rubbed slowly on the window paper, and after a while, a finger painted with red nail polish pierced the thin layer of window paper.

Lin Qiushi was squatting beside the window, just in the blind corner of the hole, but the person in the hole couldn't see him, but he could see the person in the hole - a black eye appeared behind the window, malicious Peeking into the house, searching for a target.

Gu Longming on the bed was still breathing evenly and was not awakened by all this.

Lin Qiushi held his breath and tried his best to reduce his sense of existence.

Those eyes looked outside for a long time, but in the end, she didn't find Lin Qiushi who was squatting in the corner. She sighed with regret and slowly moved her eyes away.

But Lin Qiushi didn't dare to move. He had a feeling that this thing was still near the house...

Sure enough, a few seconds later, the black eyes appeared again. If Lin Qiushi had just started to believe that she had left, he would have been stared at by this thing. As for what would happen, it was unknown.

Lin Qiushi was still not found, and the black eyes showed anger and unpleasantness. There was another sound of beating from outside Lin Qiushi's yard. After the owner of the black eyes heard the sound, he disappeared behind the window paper.

Lin Qiushi squatted in place for a long time, and after making sure that the things outside had left, he slowly stood up from the ground. His legs were numb, and he stumbled back to the bed.

Gu Longming was still sleeping, not knowing what happened just now.

Lin Qiushi exhaled and lay down on Gu Longming's side, thinking about the children and the hostess of the yard. He always felt that there were key clues hidden in the yard.

If this is an ordinary person, he will definitely not be able to fall asleep after experiencing the scene just now, but Lin Qiushi quickly calmed down due to the rich experience of going through the door before. He closed his eyes and began to try to recall the peaceful feeling lying beside Ruan Nanzhu. Actually fell into sleep really quickly.

It seems that Ruan Nanzhu, the sleeping pill essence, is really useful, and basically you can fall asleep just thinking about it.

On the third day, the sound of Gu Longming getting up woke Lin Qiushi. He opened his eyes and saw Gu Longming greeting him with a smile: "Good morning, did you encounter anything last night?"

Lin Qiushi said, "I encountered it, and I almost got cold."

Gu Longming: "...Are you serious?"

Lin Qiushi said, "Seriously, of course." He sat up from the bed and briefly described what happened last night.

Gu Longming didn't take it seriously at first. When he heard that thing standing by the window and looked at him for a long time, he showed a horrified expression: "Damn, she just looked at me like this all night?"

Lin Qiushi: "Almost."

Gu Longming said: "Fortunately, I was wearing pajamas." He said shyly, "If I sleep naked like I do at home..."

Lin Qiushi: "..." You might die.

Gu Longming made a joke, then he became serious again and said, "Then do we need to change rooms tonight?"

Lin Qiushi thought about it and said, "Let's have breakfast first."

When they got to the place for breakfast, Lin Qiushi found that there were two people missing in the team. They were the two people who lived in the room where the children stopped yesterday.

"Did the two of them come back last night?" Everyone was whispering about the two missing people.

Lin Qiushi quickly settled the breakfast and winked at Gu Longming.

Gu Longming wasn't full yet, and after stuffing another steamed bun into his mouth, he said vaguely, "Let's go."

Lin Qiushi stood up and walked outside the house.

"Where are you going?" someone asked them.

"Let's go and see their room." Lin Qiushi replied, "Let's see if they are still there."

"I'll come with you." Yan Shihe, who entered the ancestral hall after Lin Qiushi and the others yesterday, also stood up. His partner Xiao Qian seemed a little reluctant to go, but in the end he didn't say anything and came along with him.

The four of them were walking in the corridor, and Yan Shihe asked them if they heard anything last night.

"No." Gu Longming said bluntly, "I slept until dawn and didn't hear anything."

Lin Qiushi also shook his head.

"Oh." Yan Shihe nodded, "I heard the cry of a child last night... It probably came from next to where you live. Be careful at night."

Lin Qiushi didn't speak when he heard the words. He didn't hear any strange sounds last night. In terms of his hearing, even Yan Shihe could hear it. He had no reason to miss it.

When Yan Shihe said such words, he was either lying to them, or he was the only one who could hear the cry.

As they spoke, they walked to the door of the missing two people's residence.

Lin Qiushi raised his hand and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, he was not surprised to find that there was no movement inside.

"Go in directly?" Lin Qiushi said.

"Okay." Yan Shihe didn't mind, "but it seems to be locked inside."

Lin Qiushi said: "I'll try it." He had already started learning the art of opening the door with Ruan Nanzhu outside the door, but the progress was not fast, and he couldn't handle some more complicated locks. There is no problem with the old lock in front of you. If you really can't open the door, you can break in. Anyway, if you really want to get in, it's not that difficult.

A minute later, the lock slammed open.

Gu Longming cast an admiring look at Lin Qiushi: "Brother, you are amazing, I now believe you are a homeless person."

Lin Qiushi: "..." He always felt that there was something wrong with this sentence.

Yan Shihe stretched out his hand and pushed open the door in front of him, showing the scene in the house in front of them. saw blood everywhere in the small bedroom, but the blood did not seem to be splashed, but more like left after dragging.

There is no doubt that the owner of the room is already fierce at this time.

Lin Qiushi walked into the room, and after pretending to check around casually, he slowly walked to the window. He saw those little holes again, but compared to yesterday, seeing Xiao Kong today was a little more complicated.

Yan Shihe is also very meticulous, and soon found the small hole in the window. He looked at the small hole and couldn't find any clue, but Gu Longming pretended to be casual and said: "Why do I remember the fragrance in the martial arts drama? , it's people who won't kill them, right?"

Yan Shihe glanced at Gu Longming after hearing this.

Inside the house, there is another thing that makes people more concerned, that is, Lin Qiushi noticed that the oil lamp on the table was out of oil. The oil lamp was full when they first moved in, and it took only two nights. Impossible to run out. However, the oil lamp in front of him had been burnt to dryness, and it was unknown whether someone had poured out the oil in the lamp, or for some other reason.

"Where are the corpses, where are their corpses?" After looking around in the house, Yan Shihe didn't see the corpses of the two. He was a little puzzled, "Even if he died, he should see the corpses."

But the corpse was gone. There was no place to hide the corpse in the small bedroom.

"I don't know." Xiao Qian replied, "Could it be eaten by those things?"

Yan Shihe frowned and said nothing. In fact, there is such a possibility. After all, inside the door, anything can happen.

Lin Qiushi was also thinking about the corpse, but what he wanted to know more was where the hostess is now.

It seems that there are no extra clues in the house, but Gu Longming found another child's bloody handprint in a very remote corner. He didn't say this to Yan Shihe, but after the four separated , quietly told Lin Qiushi.

"Well, I see." Lin Qiushi nodded, "Where do you think their bodies were taken?"

Gu Longming: "I don't know...Isn't it normal to be killed by this kind of thing without a body?"

Lin Qiushi said: "It's not good." Gu Longming's words actually made sense, but he just felt that something was wrong, and his intuition seemed to tell him that the whereabouts of the corpse was very important, but this was just intuition, but there was no evidence to prove it. This is like the experience that Ruan Nanzhu said, it is difficult to describe in specific words.

"You care so much, or we'll look everywhere?" Gu Longming noticed that Lin Qiushi's brows had been frowning, and said, "There are still some places in this yard that we haven't visited."

"Then look for it." Lin Qiushi nodded.

The two began to wander around the yard again.

I have to say that this yard is very large, and the roads are set up in a mess, and it is easy to get lost in it. Fortunately, Lin Qiushi has a very good memory, and it is not difficult to take Gu Longming through it.

On the contrary, Gu Longming walked completely confused and said, "Didn't we just walk here?" He remembered that the surrounding scenery seemed to be exactly the same.

"I haven't been there." Lin Qiushi said, "The road I walked just now has a smaller stone."

Gu Longming: "..." He stared at the stone and stared out the flower, but he didn't notice any difference from the previous one, so he cast his admiring eyes on Lin Qiushi and said, "You are really amazing... this can be found.”

Lin Qiushi smiled and said nothing.

In fact, he didn't have such a memory before, but since he entered the door, his memory began to improve. He said that the memory of this fixed scene was not difficult at all.

This yard is like a deliberate attempt to get people lost. Many places are built exactly the same, and even the potted plants and rockeries use the same pattern.

Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming spent all morning in the courtyard, and finally found the place they were looking for-they found the courtyard where the hostess lived.

Why was it determined to be the place where the hostess lived, because Lin Qiushi saw a long red dress hanging from the treetops and swaying in the wind. He remembered that the long dress was the one the mistress wore last night.

"Have you smelled anything?" Gu Longming frowned and sniffed, "It smells so bad."

Lin Qiushi also smelled it. It was a smell that was difficult to describe in words. It was a bit like blood, and it was a bit like something rotted. All in all, it was very disgusting.

Fortunately, Cheng Yixie was not here, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable.

There was an iron door between where the hostess lived and where they were. The iron door was half closed, and the scene inside could be vaguely seen.

Lin Qiushi first observed outside for a while.

It was a large yard, but the inside of the yard was empty. Except for a huge dead tree, no plants could be seen. And the long dress worn by the hostess hangs on the top of this dead tree.

After confirming that there was no movement inside, Lin Qiushi gently opened the door, and the two walked into the yard.

After Lin Qiushi looked around, he soon found that there were traces of blood in the corner of the yard. This trace seemed to be dragged from the ground, very similar to the traces in the rooms of the two missing persons.

Gu Longming seemed to dislike this yard very much. He covered his nose with his hands and looked disgusted.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiushi asked him.

Gu Longming said, "The feng shui in this yard is so bad, it's a place where dead people live."

Lin Qiushi said, "Isn't the place where we live the place where the dead live?"

Gu Longming shook his head: "It's more serious here. The normal houses are all square, but the houses here are specially missing a corner..."

Lin Qiushi took a closer look and found that the house here really lacked corners, and the corners were just built into an arc shape, which looked extremely weird.

The two of them were talking when Lin Qiushi's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "Hide, someone is coming." After speaking, he found a corner and hid with Gu Longming.

After a while, the mistress in red appeared at the door, with an indifferent expression on her beautiful face, she did not notice the existence of Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming, and went to a certain room.

After she entered the room, Gu Longming breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Scared me to death... Are we going?"

Lin Qiushi said: "No, I want to go and see."

Gu Longming: "Go and see? It's so dangerous to see?"

Lin Qiushi made a silent gesture. In fact, not long after the hostess entered the house, he heard a very subtle sound, which sounded like a sharp knife was cutting something hard, knife after knife, with a thud.

Although Gu Longming disapproved of Lin Qiushi's behavior, he still did not object. Instead, he followed Lin Qiushi obediently and walked forward on tiptoe, although such a big man's action was indeed quite funny.

Lin Qiushi walked to the door of the hostess and looked inside cautiously.

The hostess turned her back to them, holding a long knife in her hand, and was slashing at something with her head lowered. After Lin Qiushi took a closer look, she found that it was a very large piece of meat... And from the rib, it was clearly part of the human body.

Obviously, the bodies of the two people who disappeared last night should be what the hostess was dealing with at this time.

In the room where the hostess was, there were some more strange things that caught Lin Qiushi's attention. It was a row of shelves, and the shelves were filled with dense oil lamps, some of which were empty, and some of which were filled with solidified lamp oil.

The hostess hummed a song and easily disassembled a few pieces of meat. Lin Qiushi saw the parts belonging to the hands and feet, and was more certain of his guess. I saw that the hostess, after separating the pieces of meat, started to light a fire and put an iron pan on the stove.

What is she going to do... Gu Longming silently asked Lin Qiushi with frightened eyes.

Lin Qiushi spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know.

Gu Longming's eyes were a little panicky, and he lowered his voice: "Fuck, the meat I eat during the day is not just..."

Lin Qiushi: "...Probably not."

Lin Qiushi's tone also contained hesitation, and he was obviously not sure. Thinking of the delicious food he ate during the day and the bone broth he drank last night, Gu Longming wanted to spit it out on the spot, he tried his best to hold back, and warned himself in his heart that he would still eat compressed biscuits in the door in the future. things are more secure...

The hostess, however, had already heated the pot and began to put pieces of meat into the pot.
