The room was filled with an eerie silence.
Combined with the unpleasant stench lingering in the air, the two felt cold from head to toe.
Drip ——
A drop of liquid fell beside the two, falling onto the floor.
This sound was not loud, but in the extremely quiet room, it was amplified infinitely…
Ning Qiushui even felt that, following the drop of unknown liquid falling, Liu Renfeng beside him suddenly trembled.
"Xiao, Xiao Ge…"
Liu Renfeng's voice trembled, slowly reaching out his hand, as if he wanted to touch something.
Ning Qiushui took a deep breath and said:
"Don't turn on the light."
"If you don't want to die."
Liu Renfeng was startled.
"Why…why?"
Ning Qiushui shook her head.
"I can't say for now."
"…You just need to know, in windy places, it's best not to turn on the light."
"If you turn on the light, you have to stay away."
Hearing this, Liu Renfeng suddenly remembered that every time Ning Qiushui closed the window, he would always close the window tightly!
For some reason, he felt cold from head to toe!
Then, Liu Renfeng's eyes fell on the crack in the door, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Who the hell went into the last room, and didn't turn off the hallway lights!
After this incident, the two of them couldn't sleep anymore, and didn't care about the discomfort of sleeping in the same bed. Squeezing together on the same bed, it seemed like each other's warmth could bring a little comfort.
In a daze, who knows how long it had been, the outside of the window gradually became brighter, and the rain also gradually lightened.
Liu Renfeng looked at the clock, it was already 8am.
The faint light shone in from outside the window, although it was still dark outside, but fortunately one could still see clearly.
His eyes fell on the puddle of water on the floor on his left.
The sound of water dripping nonstop yesterday was coming from here.
Liu Renfeng sat under the bed, looked closely at the stain on the floor, bent down to smell it.
"Ugh —— "
The strong stench almost made him vomit.
Ning Qiushui beside him also discovered his abnormality, bent down to look.
Ning Qiushui sniffed it, her expression slightly changed.
"This is…"
Liu Renfeng hurriedly asked:
"What is it?"
Ning Qiushui pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"The body… Or in other words, body oil."
"Usually, when animals decompose at a high level, the fat turns into oil and flows out…"
Liu Renfeng couldn't bear it anymore, and quickly interrupted Ning Qiu Shui:
"Stop, stop, Xiao Ge, stop talking! I… I understand."
His face was extremely unsightly, and he raised his head to look at the stain.
The dampness from the corpse oil seeping out of the wooden ceiling had spread from the size of a fist to the size of a human head!
God knows what was above their heads?
While Liu Renfeng was thinking, two terrified female screams suddenly came from outside the door!
"Ah!!!"
The two looked at each other.
Something happened!
"Go take a look!"
Ning Qiushui opened the front door and led Liu Renfeng out of the room.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, Ning Qiushui frowned.
The smell of blood was so strong!
In the hallway, a pool of fresh blood stretched from the door at the end of the hallway to the stairs…
A terrifying scream came from the window at the end of the hallway.
A group of people were gathered there.
Ning Qiushui and Liu Renfeng walked over, squeezed through the crowd, and saw Ya Mo and Yan Youping sitting on the ground in front of the door, their whole bodies trembling, their faces pale.
Beside them, in addition to the large pool of blood, there was also… vomit.
"What happened?"
Ning Qiushui asked seriously.
The two girls looked at Ning Qiushui, their eyes filled with extreme fear, as if they had just experienced something extremely terrifying!
Their lips trembled, unable to speak, pointing towards their room, tears falling continuously.
Ning Qiushui looked towards their room, preparing to open the door, but was stopped by Xue Guize beside him.
His expression was extremely unsightly.
"Inside… It's terrifying."
Ning Qiushui glanced at him, pushed his hand away, closed the window beside him first, then opened the door.
When they saw the scene inside, the breaths of the people outside stopped!
They saw, on the bed closest to the door in the room, lying a bloody corpse!
This corpse… was Wang Yuning wearing a gold earring!
Dead!
Ning Qiushui endured the strong smell of blood, walked into the room, when he went deeper, he saw clearly this bloody corpse!
This scene almost made Ning Qiushui vomit!
The corpse lay on the bed, the head was still intact, the neck was white and slender, but from the neck down, it was brutally torn apart, the muscles were red and messy, the wounds were crisscrossed!
The internal organs were gone, many muscles were smashed, missing and scattered…
What was more terrifying was Wang Yuning's expression…
She closed her eyes, there was no sign of pain on her face, on the contrary… there was a strange smile.
"F**k…"
Liu Renfeng followed in, his eyes wide open, his legs trembling, if he didn't hold back, he would have peed his pants!
"What, what, what…"
At this moment, he finally understood why the two girls outside had become like this!
Don't even mention women, even he, I'm afraid he wouldn't be much better off than them right now!
Ning Qiushui tried to suppress the discomfort in his heart, and walked closer to the corpse.
The others stood outside, not wanting to enter the room.
Inside… It was really too scary!
After examining the body for a while, Ning Qiushui suddenly remembered something, her expression changed abruptly, she turned around and ran out the door!
"Xiao Ge, what's going on?"
Seeing Ning Qiushui running, how could Liu Renfeng dare to stay in the room?
Everyone didn't dare to stay on the second floor, and followed Ning Qiushui down to the first floor, to the kitchen.
Ning Qiushui stared at the knife and fork set hanging on the wall for a long time, then muttered:
"There's a set missing…"
Bei Dao, who was already frightened, hurriedly asked:
"What set is missing?"
Ning Qiushui slowly said three words:
"Steak knife and fork."
Hearing this, the first person to be startled was Liu Renfeng.
Last night, when he heard the sound of metal rubbing against each other in the hallway, he felt that it was the sound of knives and forks!
Could it be…
Liu Renfeng seemed to think of something terrifying, his whole body trembled!
"Missing a set of knives and forks, what does it have to do with that corpse?"
Bei Dao was still wondering.
Most people still didn't understand what was going on.
Ning Qiushui slowly turned his head, staring at them, every word he said sent a chill down their spines:
"The wounds on Wang Yuning's body… were caused by knives and forks!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of several people turned pale.
" Ning Qiushui, you, what did you say?"
"Are you sure?"
Ning Qiushui did not answer Bei Dao, but asked the other two girls:
"Last night, did you two hear Wang Yuning's cry for help?"
The two girls shook their heads, their eyes filled with fear.
"No, we were so sleepy last night, we all fell asleep very quickly…"
At this moment, Xue Guize suddenly gritted his teeth and said with a strange expression:
"I… I heard something last night…"
"What did you hear?"
"… It was the sound of metal rubbing against each other, now that I think about it, it sounds a lot like the sound of knives and forks!"
Ning Qiushui and Liu Renfeng looked at each other and said to him:
"Go cook porridge."
"Put more meat in."
"I'll go check on the old lady upstairs."
Liu Renfeng nodded.
"Xiao Ge, be careful!"
"What about us?"
"Follow me."
Yan Youping and Liu Renfeng stayed in the kitchen to cook porridge, while Ning Qiushui led a few others upstairs and hurriedly went to the bedridden old woman's room.
As soon as they entered the room, everyone was stunned.
Because, on the table next to the bedridden old woman… there was actually a set of shiny knives and forks!
It was the set that had disappeared from the kitchen!
As if sensing everyone's presence, the old woman lying on the bed slowly turned her head and gave them a gentle smile.
"Ah!!"
Ya Mo screamed in fear and staggered downstairs.
Bei Dao and Xue Guize beside him were not much better, their faces were extremely unsightly, if it wasn't for the calm as a rock Ning Qiushui beside them, they would have run away with Ya Mo!
After experiencing such a terrifying thing, Ning Qiushui faced this old woman, not only was she not afraid, she even… took the initiative to approach!
"F**k! Ning Qiu Shui, are you crazy?!"
Xue Guize's face was unsightly.
Everyone could see that the old woman lying on the bed was the one who killed Wang Yuning!
Moreover… She was most likely not human!
Ning Qiushui ignored Xue Guize, went straight to the old woman's bed, picked up the knife and fork and examined them carefully.
Very clean.
He brought them up to his nose and smelled them.
There was no other smell.
Ning Qiushui frowned.
He looked at the old woman on the bed thoughtfully.
Ning Qiushui bent down and whispered into the old woman's ear:
"Grandma... Normally, in this room, is there only you?"
The old woman's lips moved.
"Meat..."
"Meat... There is no..."
It seems like she has a mental problem, repeating it over and over again.
Ning Qiushui narrowed her eyes.
Meat?
Meat is nothing?
Is the meat bland?
He listened for a long time, still not hearing the old woman say the third word.
At this time, Liu Renfeng brought up the bowl of porridge.
"The cold water has been mixed in, it's not hot, you can drink it directly."
I have to admit that this bowl of porridge is really fragrant.
The aroma of beef.
There are also green onions for decoration.
Ning Qiushui personally brought it to the old woman's mouth, scooped a spoonful of meat porridge and brought it to her mouth.
Everyone standing nearby watched nervously, their breathing slowing down, as if afraid that the old woman would suddenly open her mouth and swallow Ning Qiushui.
However, that terrifying scene did not appear.
The old woman calmly ate the porridge.
But when she ate something, she suddenly frowned and spat it out in disgust.
It was a piece of beef.
Immediately after, the old woman started spitting continuously, until she had spit out all the porridge in her mouth, then stopped.
"Meat… There is no meat…"
She started repeating these two words again.
Ning Qiushui put her ear close to the old woman's mouth.
This action, in everyone's eyes, was truly dangerous!
Because if this old woman really was the one who killed Wang Yuning last night, then at this moment… Ning Qiushui's action was no different from seeking death!
Fortunately, the old woman did not bite Ning Qiushui's ear.
It was this risky action that helped Ning Qiushui get an… important piece of information!
"Meat… Not… Familiar…"
The third word, not "taste", but "familiar"!
But… Why is the meat not familiar?
Ning Qiushui ate a bite of beef porridge by himself.
Familiar.
Definitely familiar.
Standing there in contemplation for a long time, Ning Qiushui suddenly thought of something and said to Liu Renfeng:
"Goatee, hurry up and cook a bowl of porridge without meat!"
Liu Renfeng stood outside and heard this, feeling a bit strange, but still listened to Ning Qiushui.
Very quickly, he brought in a bowl of white porridge.
This time… the old lady ate.
No more spitting out.
