Chapter 148 I Am Good at Comforting People
The first sound Yan Lingqing heard came from inside the closet.
He was familiar with this sound. He had heard it the night before.
Dong... Dong...
It was as if someone was hitting the closet with his head, one after another, very rhythmically.
The initial force was small, but soon, the force hitting the closet became stronger and stronger.
Yan Lingqing stood up and hugged his head in fear.
The "person" in the closet seemed to be blocked by something and had not entered the house, but just that sound was enough to make the player feel depressed and scared.
Yan Lingqing was extremely scared now.
However, what made him even more panic was that he found that there was also a strange sound coming from the ceiling.
The vent that was originally used for players to escape, suddenly, a few strands of long hair fell from it. Then, a pale hand reached out and brushed over several screws around the vent screen, and they fell off automatically.
Yan Lingqing looked at the long-haired monster, who was indistinguishable as a man or a woman, in panic. It fell from a height like a puddle of water, and then remained lying on the ground.
Its long black hair covered its face, with only its tall nose showing through the hair.
It sniffed, as if it was using this method to identify the direction. Then, Yan Lingqing watched it crawl toward the wardrobe, and then hooked its fingers on the recessed handle of the door and gently pulled it.
Countless pale, branch-like "hands" rushed out of the door and rushed straight to Yan Lingqing in the room!
Yan Lingqing screamed, threw himself forward, and dodged. But the strange hand and the strange "woman" suddenly attacked him at the same time. He screamed, ran to the door of the room, and shook the door vigorously.
The door did not open at first, because he realized that the bolt below was not unfastened. His palms were already sweating a lot, and he hurriedly pulled the bolt open with shaking hands.
He was busy opening the door and didn't see that the white "hand" behind him had retracted into the closet.
And the "woman" stood there silently, and didn't seem to have any intention of further harming Yan Lingqing.
As for why it did this...
The moment the door opened, Yan Lingqing, sweating profusely, was about to rush out.
But it was too late.
Xi Li stood at his door waiting, and the hook in his hand deeply pierced Yan Lingqing's body.
Blood dripped down.
Yan Lingqing stared in disbelief, and died with his eyes open. At this moment, the TV in the room suddenly turned on by itself.
The picture played on it was exactly what Yan Lingqing didn't see this morning, the scene of him being pierced by a hook.
Zizi.
The TV finished playing the picture and turned off again.
The room returned to darkness again.
The "woman" in the room disappeared, the wardrobe stood silently in the corner, and Xi Li at the door was nowhere to be seen.
Yan Lingqing, who was lying on the floor, suddenly climbed up from the pool of blood, shook his body twice, and walked stiffly to the end of the corridor with his hands hanging down.
Zheng Xun was in room 103 at the end.
He heard all the movements that Yan Lingqing had just made.
He also realized that the other party was probably in danger at this time.
He looked through the gap in the door and saw that Yan Lingqing was coming in his direction.
Zheng Xun thought about it, turned around, and moved very quickly.
He took the photo album on the sofa chair. The pockets of his clothes were not easy to put, so he lifted up his sweatshirt and stuffed it into his clothes.
He went to look for the bag of money behind the curtain.
Zheng Xun tightened the drawstring of the nylon purse and quickly tied a few knots.
At this time, Yan Lingqing had approached the door of room 103.
Zheng Xun opened the door and hid behind it.
When Yan Lingqing was about to get in through the gap in the door, he suddenly closed the door and hit him hard. Yan Lingqing had just died and had not yet adapted to his new identity. He was caught by Zheng Xun and fell to the floor with a buzzing head.
Zheng Xun took a look at the huge wound on his stomach and estimated that it was a fatal wound.
He did not delay any longer, stepped over Yan Lingqing's body with his long legs, held his big bag of money, and ran to Room 102.
Close the door and insert the bolt.
Hide yourself.
There was no other sound from outside for a long time. Maybe it was because the blow was too heavy and Yan Lingqing had not reacted yet.
Zheng Xun ignored him and continued to look through the album in his hand.
He had not read the last page yet.
There was only one photo on this page, and it was also a group photo.
This photo was taken from outside, and the camera was aimed at a window on the first floor of Linxun Mansion.
The "he" in the photo is about 8 or 9 years old. He stands by the window, raises his hand, and tries to grab the lily of the valley in the vase. His method seems rough, and several white bell-like flowers have already fallen on the windowsill.
Behind him stands a man in a black suit. The man is behind him, with one hand on his shoulder and the other hand on the body of the vase to prevent the poor vase from being thrown to the ground and broken.
The sunlight reflected from the window just blocked the man's face.
It clearly captured the way he destroyed the flowers, plants and trees.
Zheng Xun rubbed the reflective corner of the window with his fingers, but unfortunately, he couldn't see his face, so he couldn't know his identity.
He took the photo out of the transparent protective film and turned it to the back.
There is another sentence here.
——I know I am ugly, and it doesn’t matter if I am stoned, but I feel sad to scare you.
?
A question mark slowly appeared on Zheng Xun’s head.
What does this mean?
He was a little confused.
Now there is something that makes Zheng Xun more annoyed than deducing and solving puzzles, that is, solving word puzzles.
He silently read this sentence twice in his heart, and waited to ask Gu Xiuqi tomorrow morning.
Second floor.
You Xueshan is a little confused now.
A long-haired woman appeared on the bed, sitting there so abruptly, making her scalp numb.
She had no idea where the other party came from, nor did she understand her identity, let alone what the meaning of her sitting here was.
Originally, You Xueshan thought that this woman would suddenly turn her head 180 degrees to show a hideous smile, or crawl towards her darkly, like in the movie.
But nothing happened.
The woman cried.
She didn’t cry in a shrill way, but sobbed weakly. You Xueshan thought, since this person is here, if she doesn't come over, then she should go over and take a look.
After she approached cautiously, she found that the woman on the bed did not have a scary face.
On the contrary, she was very beautiful, and the moonlight made her eyes look like a lake of falling snow.
"You..." She suddenly spoke, "Are you here to comfort me?"
"..."
You Xueshan was silent for a moment, and then replied very confidently.
"Yes, I am particularly good at comforting people."
Third floor.
Gu Xiuqi stood at the door without taking a single step into the house.
It was the person in the house who spoke first.
"Please go inside. There is something wandering outside, I guess you know."
Gu Xiuqi stared at the man's face and felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
...
He remembered, it was Zheng Xun.
The facial features of this man and Zheng Xun were indescribably similar, but not completely the same.
