When they regained consciousness, they all went behind the blood-colored wooden door.
Everyone was scattered in a beautiful suburban villa area.
It was just strange that, although this place was built extremely exquisitely, it seemed gloomy and filled with deathly aura.
After passing a few villas, Ning Qiushui confirmed that this villa area was uninhabited.
It was terrifyingly quiet.
"Is there no one here, or has everyone gone out to work?"
Ning Qiushui carefully observed this villa, seemingly discovering something.
"Not right..."
"The garden has traces of recent care, there are goldfish in the pond, there are also some commonly used tools in the yard... This place should have been inhabited."
"But... where did those people go?"
Very quickly, he saw the villa that he needed to enter according to the mission requirements.
This one was not difficult to distinguish.
Because in the entire villa area, only this villa had someone standing outside.
It was a woman dressed neatly and elegantly, carrying a suitcase.
She wore a sun hat, pinned a small rose, and led a little girl around eight or nine years old, standing like that under the bright sunlight in the courtyard, smiling at the people who came here.
The woman's smile was very beautiful, the kind that the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes, but for some reason, when Ninh Thu Thuy looked at her smile, she always felt... a chill down her back.
That smile, didn't seem to be welcoming guests, but more like...
Just as Ning Qiushui was lost in thought, a large hand patted his shoulder.
Ning Qiushui was startled and turned around, it turned out to be the bearded Liu Renfeng.
"Little dude, you're here too?"
Ning Qiushui nodded.
"Hmm, it seems that villa is where we need to go."
Liu Renfeng glanced at the villa from afar, his expression became more serious, he counted on his fingers and muttered:
"Ugly..."
Seeing his appearance, Ning Qiushui's eyes lit up:
"Are you a fortune teller?"
Liu Renfeng shook his head.
"On the outside, I do tell fortunes for others... But I just remembered, I actually don't know how to tell fortunes, I'm just a scammer."
Ning Qiushui's breath caught.
Speechless.
This person is truly... typical of typical.
Lies so much that even he believes it's true?
Also...
How can he say this kind of thing so openly?
"Alright..."
Ning Qiushui helplessly shook his head, walking straight towards that woman's villa.
Someone had already arrived.
The villa's female owner didn't speak to them, only smiled at them.
This indifferent smile made them feel helpless. When they spoke to the female owner, she only replied with one sentence:
"Please wait a moment, there are still a few more caretakers who haven't arrived yet."
About ten minutes later, the last seven people had finally arrived.
At this moment, as if activating some kind of condition, the hostess who had been smiling the whole time suddenly spoke to everyone:
"Is everyone here?"
"I'm really sorry, I invited everyone here to take care of my mother, it's just that my husband is at work, I want to take my daughter to the beach for her birthday, there's really no one at home..."
"My mother is old, not only is she bedridden, but her mental capacity has also seriously declined, I'm worried that two or three caregivers might not be able to take good care of her, so I decided to hire everyone from the company..."
"As for the money issue, everyone doesn't need to worry, I don't lack money."
"After I return... If my mother is well taken care of, I'll pay everyone separately."
After speaking, she led everyone into the villa, up to the second floor, and into a large room.
The room was not very bright.
Inside... there was also a very unpleasant smell.
On the large bed next to the window in the room, lay a kind old woman, looking at Ning Qiushui and the others calmly.
On the old woman's face hung a strange smile that was hard to detect, making everyone feel... a chill down their spine.
"This is my mother..."
After introducing herself to everyone, the woman sat down next to the old woman and said affectionately:
"Mom, I want to take Bao Bao to the beach for her birthday. I specially found seven people to take care of you. I'll leave it to them to take care of you for the next five days."
After she finished speaking, she leaned close to the old woman's ear and whispered something.
Then the woman stood up, looked at everyone, and said with a smile:
"Although my mother is bedridden and a little confused, she can still understand simple things. Moreover, her body is generally healthy, she doesn't have any other illnesses, and she eats well... Oh, right, I haven't shown you all the kitchen yet."
After speaking, she led everyone downstairs and went to the villa's kitchen.
The kitchen was also very large, with all the cooking utensils on the table, all of which were cleaned.
There were two large refrigerators on the left side of the kitchen entrance.
"It's summer now, the rainy season is coming soon, Bao Bao is very afraid of heavy rain, there might be a storm in the next five days, at that time buying food and meat will be very inconvenient..."
The woman said as she opened one of the two large refrigerators, revealing that it was filled with meat and vegetables, and smiled at everyone:
"But everyone doesn't need to worry."
"I've prepared enough food and drinks for everyone..."
"Also... My mother doesn't like to eat vegetables, when cooking for her, everyone should cook a little more meat."
After speaking, the woman did not rush to take her daughter away, but asked everyone:
"Does everyone have any questions?"
Ning Qiushui spoke first:
"Excuse me, is there no one else living in this villa area?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly:
"That's right, actually this villa was built a long time ago, but because it's so deserted, no one else lives here besides us, in fact, if it wasn't for my mother, we wouldn't live here..."
After a pause, she added:
"For these five days, everyone just consider yourselves the owners of this villa, I've prepared rooms on the second floor for everyone, when the time comes, everyone can choose the room they like."
"But everyone must pay attention... Absolutely, absolutely do not go to the third floor of the villa, understand?"
As she said this, the woman's expression suddenly became extremely serious.
Everyone replied in unison, "Understood."
Seeing that everyone agreed, the hostess smiled again.
"If everyone understands, then... I'll leave my mother to you!"
"Ah... the car is about to leave, I want to go with my daughter first, otherwise I'll miss the high-speed train."
After saying that, she hurriedly put on her high heels, walked to the door, took her daughter and carried her suitcase and went out.
Ning Qiushui vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she walked to the window and looked in the direction the woman left.
Just as she got into the car, the little girl she was leading turned around, her eyes met Ning Qiushui who was standing at the window.
This gaze made Ning Qiushui stunned.
He had very good eyesight.
So, Ning Qiushui clearly saw a circle of... fear in the little girl's eyes!
She was afraid.
Afraid of what?
Afraid of going to the beach?
Afraid of her mother?
Or... afraid of this villa?
Just as Ning Qiushui was thinking, Liu Renfeng with a strong beard came over and said, "What are you looking at? They're already gone..."
"Little dude, I didn't expect you to be so young, but you like married women... Not bad, not bad, you have potential in the future!"
