Chapter 721 The Smell of Meat

This woman is like the heroine Ball of Suif in Maupassant's novel. She is plump but not annoying.

"Hey, I want to ask you a question? Are you new here?" The woman's lips are thick and moist, but there are some oil stains on them, which slightly ruins the scenery.

I put the bag with the severed hand behind me, put away the mirror fragments without leaving a trace, and then spoke: "I'm wearing a mask, how dare you open the door for me at night, how brave are you?"

"There are more weird people than you in the Pig Cage Apartment. Besides, the least scary thing about people here." The woman winked at me: "If you want money, I don't have it here; if you want me, then Come and get it?”

Her deft tongue licked away the remaining oil stains around her mouth. I had to admit that this ordinary-looking woman was very good at dealing with the opposite sex.

"People are the least scary... thing in the red building? Your choice of words is quite interesting." I smiled and didn't continue talking. I glanced around. There were no lights in the room. The furniture in the simple room was completely different from other rental houses. In the center of the living room was a huge dining table, with a red wax candle lit on the table.

A weak candle flame danced in the room, illuminating the wooden table that occupied a quarter of the living room.

I took a casual look, and after I knew what was going on, I touched the cold mask on my face with my fingers: "You haven't seen my face, how can you dare to insist that I am a newly moved tenant? Are you the old tenant of the entire Red Building? Do you know them all?”

"We all know each other, but the male tenants do know each other." The woman rolled her eyes upwards, lifted the corner of her clothes and walked towards me: "There are rules in the red building. No one will come out and fool around on a rainy night. So you are either a new tenant or an outsider.”

When her eyes glanced at Li Ming, she stayed unnaturally for about half a second, and then, as if to cover up, she added: "Also, the men who come to my place never bring a bottle of oil with them."

I captured the woman's panic in just half a second. It seemed that this was not the first time she had seen Li Ming.

I didn't answer, thinking about a question in my mind.

None of the tenants in the red building are normal. Among the few people I have contacted, Zhu Li and Bai Yaer know each other. The doctor seems to be unfamiliar with Zhu Li and others. In fact, he should show this deliberately.

Zhu Li used corpse specimens to paint his paintings. The handling of corpse specimens in his works is very sophisticated. It can be seen that there are professionals assisting him, and this person who is the mastermind is probably a doctor.

Thinking about it this way, the three of them are actually a team.

At the beginning, I found a braided wig in Bai Yaer's pillow, a child's skull at the doctor's house, and the black plastic bags oozing with mucus that he had hidden in Zhu Li's house. All of the above were connected, so at that time I have a bold guess.

Li Ming was probably abducted to the Red Mansion by the three of them. These perverts used the supernatural stories in Jinghai City to target orphaned children, and then tortured and killed them after they were brought back to the Red Mansion to satisfy their twisted psychological needs.

But now it seems that this is not the case. If I had not seen Li Ming with my own eyes and noticed the strange changes in this child, I am afraid I would insist that this is the truth. But after meeting Li Ming himself, I was shaken.

This child's fear was disguised. When he smiled in the mirror, the expression on his face did not look like what a six or seven-year-old child should have. Some unknown change had occurred in him. If he wanted to break the situation, Understanding the reason for Li Ming's change is the key, and this is probably the biggest secret among the tenants of the Red Mansion.

I raised my head and stared at the woman's face. Her little actions just now revealed that she was also an insider.

The mask obscured my expression. The woman in front of me was very sensitive. She hesitated, twisted her waist and walked towards me: "Why are you wearing a mask? Are you afraid of being seen? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. of."

Her soft, boneless body came close to me. She was like a cat that has met its owner. She was very well-behaved and wanted to hug me.

As the woman approached, I slowly frowned. This woman did not have that gaudy perfume smell, but instead had a very strange greasy smell.

I took a step back. The woman was stunned for a moment, and then she actually laughed: "You have already found me, why are you so shy?"

She opened her snow-white arms, and her soft and plump body was like the waves of wheat in spring, graceful and charming, attracting people's imagination.

Frankly speaking, this woman is not annoying, although her clothes are greasy and she is what Zhu Li calls a "dirty" woman.

She leaned against the wall, untied her hairpin, and let her black hair spread over her shoulders: "You were in a hurry to come in just now, why are you running back now?"

With her fingers hooked, the woman spoke words full of ambiguity, her plump and moist lips close to my chest: "Your heart is beating so hard, come inside."

"I think you misunderstood." The greasy smell on the woman's body made me very uncomfortable, and her heartbeat had nothing to do with her. Since the opening of my heart orifice, every beat of my heart has been strong and powerful.

"What's the misunderstanding? It's raining heavily outside. You must not be planning to go back tonight. You are obviously thinking of some bad things, but you still haven't said them out." She stretched out her plump fingertips to press the buttons of her jacket: "But let's make a deal first, if we stay the night , it has to be calculated separately.”

There is a very interesting characteristic of a woman's speech. She is trying her best to seduce me, and all her attention seems to be focused on me, but I'm afraid even she didn't notice it. Whenever she gets close to me, her eyes will unconsciously glance at Li Ming who is standing next to me.

"Why are you more anxious than me?" I neither explicitly rejected her nor did anything extraordinary to her. I grabbed Li Ming's hand and walked into the living room and sat down at the dining table.

The red wax on the table was the only source of light in the room. Under the dim light, I could see the oil-stained dining table.

"Do you like eating meat?" After thinking about it for a long time, I finally asked.

"Why are you asking?" The buttons on the woman's collar have been unbuttoned, and a hint of whiteness can be seen in it.

"Nothing?" I took out a banknote from my pocket and put it on the table: "Go get me some food? The money is easy to talk about."

"You're such a strange person." The woman curled her hair with one hand: "You came to my place to eat?"

"Only when you are full can you have the strength to do it." I replied lightly.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." The woman accepted the money with a smile, turned around and entered the kitchen: "Wait for me for a while."

Sitting in front of the dining table, I drummed my fingers on the back of the chair and looked at the woman's back, my eyebrows knitting together.

Compared with Zhu Li and the doctor, this woman is a bit too normal. Her words and deeds are completely consistent with her profession, and there is no fault at all.

"There is a woman who sells meat living on the eighth floor. These are Zhu Li's exact words. Didn't he deceive me?" Normal people can't stay in the Red Mansion, but she has rented here for a long time. The specific time Probably longer than Bai Yaer.

"But there is good news. At least judging from her figure, she is definitely not the show host I am looking for." I rubbed my fingers against the grease on the table, which was thick and difficult to clean off: "She is in this room. How much meat have you eaten?”

Thinking of this, I turned to look at the kitchen. There was no refrigerator in the dilapidated rental house. The woman took out a hard black bag directly from the cupboard, which seemed to contain a large piece of meat.

She removed the bag. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but her body just blocked the shape of the meat. I only saw her raise the kitchen knife and cut the meat open one by one.

When the meat was chopped into pieces and no shape could be seen at all, she picked up the dirty rag next to the chopping board and wiped her hands. She turned back and smiled at me: "It'll be ready soon, I'm going to fire up."

The woman closed the kitchen door, and then I heard the sound of her lighting the fire. Not long after, a strong smell of meat wafted out of the kitchen.

The smell is very fragrant. If it is another occasion, it might make people feel excited, but at this moment, this smell can only make me feel sick to my stomach.

The reason is very simple. I am still holding a black plastic bag in my hand. This bag is exactly the same as the bag the woman put the meat in just now, except that my bag contains a severed hand.

The fragrance in the room became stronger and stronger. Li Ming touched his stomach and looked around. The fear in his eyes was much lessened.

"Are you hungry?" I touched Li Ming's head and raised the corners of my mouth: "Eat less in a while. If you eat too much, you won't be able to run fast."

Ten minutes later, the kitchen door opened and the woman came out carrying two small basins.

"You've been waiting for a long time, let's try it." She put the dinner basin on the table, one with braised meat and another with stewed minced meat soup.

The woman's knife skills were good, and the bones were removed so that the original shape of the meat could not be seen.

"Here are the chopsticks for you to try." She grabbed a chair and sat close to me, far away from Li Ming.

Before she could continue, Li Ming picked up the chopsticks and started eating. The little guy seemed to be hungry and devoured it.

I also picked up a large piece of meat, but I was not in a hurry to eat it. I just stared at it, peeling off the skin, and the meat was tender.

"The food I cook is very delicious. You don't regret spending the money." The woman had a smile on her face and leaned most of her body on the back of my chair.

I twitched my nose and took a whiff: "It really smells good. Did you add any special seasoning?"

"No, it's all done in vain."

"I'm being humble. You are so skillful with your hands. I think you really don't deserve to suffer such a serious crime and live in this place." I sighed and took off the mask of Good and Evil Shura, revealing the face of the human skin mask underneath: "I hope this thing I didn’t scare you.”

"By the way, why haven't I seen any weird people living in the pig cage apartment?" The woman smiled. After seeing me take off the mask, she obviously relaxed a lot and leaned closer.

"What's your name? We might be neighbors in the future." I didn't dodge, and started chatting with the woman, talking about some light topics, and even used some hypnosis during the process.

"Zhang Shuxue." The woman leaned on the back of my chair, her plump body like a melting snowman.

"A very elegant name, very nice."

My eyes twitched, but my expression became gentler. After closing the distance, I waited until she completely relaxed her guard. Then I picked up a piece of meat and leaned close to her: "Come on, I'll feed you."

The woman didn't think much and swallowed the fat in one mouthful, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Your meat is so delicious, even better than human meat."

I said something casually, and the woman swallowed the meat in her mouth. She didn't think much about it and just received it smoothly: "If you ask me, human flesh is actually better..."
