... In the thick fog, a dilapidated bus was running slowly along the endless highway.
Inside the bus there were a total of seven people, three women and four men.
They sat in the car, looking out the window through the thick fog, each with a different expression on their faces.
Doubt, ambiguity, fear...
But other than that, their faces were equally pale.
It seemed that along the way, they experienced something terrifying.
The bus kept going straight until it finally stopped in front of an old, quaint villa.
The villa was shrouded in mist all around, pitch black, mysterious and eerie.
The car door opened, as if telling the passengers inside... it was time to get off.
The 7 people in the car slowly got off the car, they looked around, their eyes filled with an indescribable fear.
Because, the driver's seat on this bus, which should have had a driver... was currently empty.
That's right, this bus... had no driver.
After the last person got off the bus, the bus door automatically closed, then continued moving, until it disappeared into the thick fog...
Standing in front of the pitch-black villa, the 7 people looked at each other, seeing each other's extremely unsightly expressions.
"Let's go..."
"I think we have no other choice."
At the crucial moment, a skinny man in the crowd spoke up, he wore a pair of dark brown square-framed glasses, his delicate features exuded an unusual calmness.
"Really... do we really have to go in?"
Ding Wang Yuning, the beautiful woman wearing gold earrings, spoke with a trembling voice.
She was dressed very lightly, so she felt very cold.
Her two hands hugged each other, rubbing them together continuously.
"What if it's... unsafe inside?"
The others were silent.
At first, they thought that this was a malicious joke, or some kind of show that was staged, inviting them to participate...
But, when they discovered that there was basically no driver on the bus, they all fell into deep fear!
Although they were all staunch materialists before, what happened before... was truly beyond imagination!
"So, you want to go into the fog?"
Ning Qiushui took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Actually, his heartbeat was also beating very fast.
From the time he received that mysterious letter until arriving here, it had only taken less than an hour.
But this hour, to his worldview, was truly too shocking!
"Have you forgotten about the fatty who jumped off the car and fled at the intersection earlier?"
Mentioning that fat man, the woman's beautiful eyes instantly filled with fear!
Her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed!
Previously, there were a total of 8 people on the bus.
Everyone suddenly appeared on this bus after falling asleep.
Among them was a fat guy, who kept nagging along the way, saying that this must be some kind of inhumane program, wanting to invite them to film an episode of a reality TV show.
The fat guy said impatiently that their cell phones were definitely swapped, the driver was actually driving the bus under their feet, the fog scene was caused by specially created dry ice, etc...
Finally, when the bus stopped at a certain intersection, the fat guy directly opened the window, jumped off the bus, and walked alone into the fog...
The development of the matter to this point was still within the normal range.
However, when everyone reached the next intersection, they discovered something hanging on the traffic light pole that was covered in fog...
As the bus slowly approached, they saw clearly that the thing hanging on the traffic light pole... was the bloody human skin of the fat man who had left earlier!
The skin was completely peeled off, and everyone could even see the extremely frightened and distorted expression of the fat man, as if he had seen something particularly terrifying before he died!
And on the traffic light pole, fresh blood was continuously flowing out!
This scene directly frightened the people in the car!
Some people didn't believe in evil, and rolled down the car window, as a result, the nauseating smell of blood flew into the car...
...
When that fatty mentioned that, everyone's faces became extremely unsightly, and some even started to vomit.
"... No one dared to get close to that fog anymore, so we could only enter this pitch-black villa..."
Ning Qiushui took a deep breath.
He was also scared.
But for some reason, whether he saw the bloody human skin hanging from the traffic light pole, or smelled the strong smell of blood, his reaction was not as intense as the others.
Furthermore, he felt very interested in that mysterious letter.
The owner of the letter... what exactly did he want to tell him?
Following Ning Qiushui's lead, everyone followed behind him, pushed open the iron gate of the pitch-black villa, and entered the garden in front of the villa.
The surroundings were very quiet.
It was so quiet that it was scary.
Everyone couldn't help but gather closer, the beautiful woman wearing gold earrings felt someone was touching her, but she only frowned, not saying anything more.
Let them grope... It's better than being skinned inexplicably anyway!
Just like that, everyone arrived at the door of the pitch-black villa, Ning Qiushui knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock ——
Following his knocking, footsteps quickly sounded from inside, the people behind couldn't help but take a few steps back, staring at the door, seemingly extremely worried!
Clank ——
The door opened.
But the terrifying scene that everyone imagined did not appear.
The person who opened the door was a very beautiful, very delicate young woman.
She seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Here?"
"Come in."
The girl spoke, and only then did everyone realize that she was actually... a boy.
A very handsome boy.
But this boy's voice was extremely cold.
There wasn't much emotion.
Everyone saw Ning Qiushui following the boy inside, and they looked at each other, not knowing whether to follow or not.
"You guys better hurry in..."
While everyone was still hesitating, the young man's voice rang out from inside again.
"That mist... is very dangerous."
Mentioning the fog, everyone thought of the fat man's tragic death, trembling in fear, jostling to get into the room.
The villa was very spacious, decorated in a classical style, on the left were neatly arranged bookshelves, on the right was a wooden staircase leading upstairs, in the middle of the resting area were three large sofas.
In the middle of the sofa was a burning charcoal stove.
Inside the room, four people were sitting around the charcoal stove.
They looked at the fire in the charcoal stove, lost in thought, not saying a word.
The atmosphere, in this silence... is getting colder and colder.
"Excuse me... where is this?"
"Why do we have to come to this place?"
"What's with the fog outside and the bus?"
"..."
Finally, after thinking for a while, Ning Qiushui asked these three questions.
But, still no one answered him.
In fact, the four people who were warming themselves, did not even bother to glance at him.
At this moment, the bearded man Liu Renfeng standing behind Ning Qiushui couldn't help but speak up:
"I'm talking to you guys!"
"Are you all deaf and mute?"
His voice was extremely loud, echoing throughout the room, making people's eardrums ache.
Finally, the man in the suit who was sitting on the sofa opposite Ning Qiushui warming himself spoke up:
"I know you all have a lot of questions..."
"If you can survive and return from the first blood gate, I will tell you the answers to these questions."
Hearing this, everyone's hearts were immediately filled with a bad feeling.
"Blood Door? What is that?"
Ning Qiushui's heart moved, remembering the mysterious phone call from before, he asked.
The man in the suit didn't bother to raise his head, pointing to the third floor of the villa.
"Your time is running out, in less than 5 minutes, the blood gate will open, at that time, you will enter the terrifying world inside the blood gate, to complete the mission on the door."
"After completing the mission, the bus will come to pick you up."
The man in the suit heard this, slowly raised his head, and looked straight at Yan Youping.
Those calm and cold eyes made Yan Youping break out in a cold sweat.
"Will die."
"And death... is extremely tragic."
Hearing this, everyone's limbs went limp.
They really wanted to believe that this was just a joke.
But... the serious expression of the man in the suit dispelled the last ray of hope in their hearts.
"Can... not go?"
A young man with dyed blond hair swallowed his saliva, as if asking.
The man in the suit glanced at him.
"Maybe."
"But... you better not sleep anymore in the future."
The blond young man was stunned:
"Why, why?"
The man in the suit sneered:
"Because, if you don't go into the blood door to complete the mission, then... there will be "Things" coming out from behind the blood door to find you."
"No matter where you run to, they will find you."
"And then..."
The man in the suit did not continue, but everyone knew what the outcome would be.
Ning Qiushui glanced at the third floor, and finally asked the man in the suit:
"Before we leave, do you have any advice?"
The man in the suit was stunned, then turned his gaze to Ning Qiushui, seeing Ning Qiushui's unusually calm expression, a trace of barely perceptible admiration flashed in his eyes.
"Advice... Yes."
"The story behind the blood door, although extremely dangerous, but there is more than one way to live, as long as you find a way to live, wanting to complete the mission and survive... is not difficult."
Ning Qiushui nodded.
"Thank you."
After saying that, he was the first to step out and go upstairs.
Liu Renfeng, the man with the goatee, saw Ning Qiushui's determination, after a fierce struggle in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and followed.
"Damn it, little friend... you're really bold!"
Walking behind Ning Qiushui, Liu Renfeng spoke in a low voice.
On the way, he actually noticed Ning Qiushui.
It was hard not to notice.
Whether it was when she discovered the fatty's skin, or when she smelled the strong smell of blood, Ning Qiushui did not have any big reaction.
"So bold?"
Ning Qiushui laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Do you think we have any other choice?"
Liu Renfeng was very tall, so although he was one rung shorter than Ning Qiushui, his height was only slightly shorter than his.
"When you saw the fat guy's skin before, little friend, you didn't even blink an eye, what was your job before?"
"What job?"
"Assassin."
"You read too many novels, in reality there aren't that many assassins?"
"Ah... Is that so..."
"I'm a doctor."
"Oh~ no wonder, forensics?"
"Almost, a veterinarian."
Liu Renfeng: "..."
The two of them chatted as they walked up to the third floor of the villa.
As soon as they stepped up, the two of them stopped chatting.
The strong smell of blood and a strong smell of rotten wood filled the air.
On the third floor of the villa, there was nothing, only a wooden door stained red with blood.
On the blood-stained wooden door, there was a line of text written:
[ Take care of the bedridden elderly for five days ]
"Take care of the elderly... This is our mission this time."
Ning Qiushui's eyes flashed.
The others also came one after another, seeing the words on the wooden door, they were all stunned.
"Just... that simple?"
Wang Yu Ning, the woman wearing the gold earrings, was a little incredulous.
Everyone was talking excitedly, suddenly, they all stopped, as if they sensed something, they all looked towards the wooden door.
Crackle ——
Inside the wooden door, it seemed like something was pushing the door.
Very quickly, the wooden door was pushed open by a pair of pale hands!
