Chapter 24
Three people died in four days, which cast a shadow on everyone's hearts, and the reduction of three people, the most intuitive problem is that the work of the dead needs to be replaced by others.
When Yang Qi died, Su Xiaoqian did her job and cleaned the room instead.
Fortunately, the villa was calm for the next two days, and the hostess did not arrange other work.
On the morning of the seventh day, Baiyan found an opportunity to ask the hostess a question he had always wanted to know. Because he was afraid that the hostess would think of something, he didn't dare to ask this question early, and didn't try to raise it until today.
"Madam, where did the employees who left early?"
"Didn't I say it earlier? They were all fired." The hostess looked at Baiyan's face, thinking she understood what he meant, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, you guys have been working for seven days, I won't If you don’t pay, even if someone makes a mistake today, I won’t drive him away. Those who are fired, as long as there is no petty theft, I also give them a little money. Saying that you don’t pay is scaring you and afraid that you will work. not serious."
"So, Madam, you are really kind-hearted."
After the routine, the hostess, at the noon party, Baiyan said about it.
"We guessed right before. The ghost brought back by the hostess and hostess changed the memory of the couple. The hostess and hostess probably didn't know that they were dead, and the people who died are normal in their perceptions. I left, and didn't die."
After summing up the information, Baiyan said with emotion: “Speaking of which, the couple were originally good people. They were keen on charity and were willing to help others. After death, their personalities changed drastically and they began to like to eat dead mice, but they never defaulted on their salary. , Should be the first person killed by the male host in the memory, and the hostess took turns walking in our room every night. I am afraid she herself does not remember, but they are also victims."
Baiyan's words made Li Hao feel sad. When the hostess arranged for him to go to the garden to dig roses, he really hated her. But when he passed through safely and understood the cause and effect, he didn't hate her so much. After all, the hostess is also a poor person. She took the fierce ghost back home as her son, but she didn't expect that this would directly harm their family.
"In short, we can't remind the hostess of what they have already died." An Qing concluded: "As long as we don't expose the falsehood that they have been killed, we can maintain the surface peace and live the last day safely."
An Qing's words were unanimously agreed by everyone. The knock on the door had been named by everyone in the past two days. Everyone was familiar with the method to deal with it, and it was worthwhile again.
Three people have died, and on the last day, no one wants to be extravagant.
...
At half past six in the evening, the villa family just finished dinner. Called by the hostess, everyone stood in the lobby on the first floor, watching her and the host look at each other.
It's the last day. Shouldn't they go back early to rest? Why are they called here?
"You have worked hard for the past seven days. Actually, there is nothing major, just to explain the finishing touches." The hostess said with a smile on her face: "You did a good job. You are the best employee I have ever met. Tonight you... "
The hostess did not finish, when a deafening thunder came from outside the villa, interrupting her words.
Accompanied by thunder, the pouring rain fell from the sky.
From outside the wide open window, everyone could hear the ticking sound of raindrops hitting the ground, and their hearts were inevitably gloomy.
It was the last night, and it was not a good sign that it rained suddenly in the sky.
Many tragedies often happen on rainy nights.
Tonight is no exception.
Before the hostess continued the topic, there was a rapid knock on the door, and everyone's complexion changed drastically.
The knock on the door, could it be the knock on the door a few nights ago?
Shouldn't the knocker be the hostess?
Is it someone else?
While everyone was on guard like a frightened bird, the knock on the door continued. Baiyan's eyes followed the couple and found that they also looked surprised, as if they were incomprehensible to the late-night visitor.
Everyone had different thoughts, the hostess hesitated and asked Su Xiaoqian to open the door.
Upon hearing this task, Su Xiaoqian's face was full of reluctance.
The guest who visited on the rainy night, who knows whether it is a human or a ghost, if she goes up and opens the door, she will be the first to suffer. However, the hostess had to listen to her orders. Despite the fear in her heart, she still shivered, moved to the door with small steps, and opened the door with her teeth.
The door was opened.
What appeared outside the door was a shaggy man, not a knocker.
The man's head was intact on his neck, but when they saw his face, everyone felt a strange sense of familiarity.
This strange familiarity, instinctively made everyone feel uneasy.
"Excuse me, are you...?"
Su Xiaoqian hesitated to ask, but without a man answering, the hostess covered her mouth and said: "Son! Why did you come out?"
Hearing this, An Qing's face changed drastically, and she didn't care about the hostess and hostess beside her, and immediately shouted: "No! You can't let him talk!"
As soon as her words fell, Lu Tianyi rushed forward to subdue the man and tried to block his mouth with Su Xiaoqian. Unfortunately, they were still a step late.
"Dad! Mom! I'm not crazy! My brother died a few years ago! I don't have a brother!"
"Silly boy, what are you talking nonsense, isn't your brother right here..." The hostess was taken aback when he said this, right, where is it?
During these six months, the hostess always thought that her son was crazy, and even her brother didn't recognize him.
But today, the memory that the hostess had neglected for a long time finally returned. When she was excited by her eldest son, her eyes flashed with confusion, but she gradually remembered something very long ago...
Six months ago, she and her husband went out to play together. On the way back, she saw a faceless child standing on the side of the road. Seeing them approaching, he suddenly stopped in front of them, looking terrifying.
But somehow, they didn't feel scared at the time, and even couldn't help but think of their youngest son, who unfortunately died young.
She couldn't help calling her son, and then they took it back home, really raising it as their little son.
later……
Then what happened?
Recalling this, there was a sharp pain in the hostess's neck, which seemed to prevent her from thinking about it. However, the memory continued to advance beyond her control, making the hostess's expression more and more horrified.
She remembered! She remembered!
After that, the eldest son started yelling that his younger brother had died early. Seeing that he was making a lot of trouble, she and her husband thought he was crazy, so they locked him in the cellar.
On the night when the eldest son was locked in, the faceless ghost walked to the study and gave them an axe. So, in the study, the husband raised his axe and chopped off her head at once. Then, he waved the axe and chopped off his own head together...
Thinking of this, the hostess's skull fell from under her neck with a loud noise, and rolled to the ground with the host's head...
The death of the hostess and hostess gave the man a lot of excitement. He seemed to think of something, and infinite fear emerged in his eyes.
The skulls of his parents rolled towards him, the man's eyes became red, his tongue swelled, his eyelids turned out, and one eyeball fell out of his eye socket when he lowered his head.
Seeing such a horrible scene, Baiyan raised his hand and grabbed a knife from the dining table, rushed to the man, inserted the knife into his throat, and reunited the family of four.
Before the man died, Baiyan saw gratitude in his tearful eyes. After being detained for so long, every day being fed carrion by his dearest and beloved parents, his body became like a ghost. The man probably did not want to live long ago, but he was supporting him to escape from the cellar in one breath, and wanted to wake up his parents and tell them the truth. Now that he saw the tragic death of his parents, he completely lost the will to survive.
Seriously, this look really made him feel sick.
Not only did he kill this half-human and half-ghost guy, he was not only boring, but it made him feel sick.
But now there is no time for nausea. As soon as Baiyan took the knife, he immediately ran out, without reminding his teammates.
"Baiyan! What are you doing?" Lu Tianyi was startled by Baiyan's harassment.
"Fool, what are you doing in a daze? Run!" An Qing threw away the twitch, grabbed Lu Tianyi, and motioned to him to bring herself: "Run, it will be too late if you don't run!"
