The two of them walked to the top of the stairs. The iron door leading to the third floor had been broken open, and a strong stench rushed straight into their noses. This smell was exactly the same as the smell of the liquid in their room – the smell of a decomposing corpse.
Liu Chengfeng covered his nose and frowned. His stomach churned, and he tried to swallow hard, suppressing the feeling of nausea, and followed Ning Qiushui to the third floor.
As soon as he stepped onto the third floor, the stench became even stronger. Liu Chengfeng couldn't bear it anymore, his stomach contracted violently, and finally he collapsed, vomiting.
"Ugh…"
Liu Chengfeng vomited until his face turned pale. Ning Qiushui patted his back.
After vomiting all the food in his stomach, Liu Chengfeng felt a little better.
The two of them followed the pitch-black corridor forward. The floor was strangely sticky. Even without light, Liu Chengfeng could guess what the sticky thing under his feet was…
It was… the decomposition fluid from a corpse!
The entire third floor was covered in this disgusting, sticky fluid.
Both of them were terrified. How many corpses would it take to create such a huge amount of decomposition fluid that could cover an entire floor?
"Indeed…" Ning Qiushui narrowed his eyes.
Although the stench was unpleasant, it wasn't as nauseating as Liu Chengfeng's. Before entering, he had already guessed the situation.
Stepping on the disgusting, viscous liquid, the two of them walked towards the room with the strongest stench. Ning Qiushui carefully opened the door. The scene before their eyes shocked them both!
The room was dimly lit by the moonlight, and the inside was filled with… corpses!
There were still quite fresh corpses, covered in blood and flesh, but there were also corpses that were only skeletons. The common point was that all of them had their heads intact. The faces of these corpses carried strange smiles, staring at the two people as if inviting them…
"Calm down!" Liu Chengfeng covered his mouth, took a step back, his whole body trembling.
He looked at the other rooms, as if he understood something, trembling as he pushed open the remaining doors.
"Oh my god…" He exclaimed in horror.
Sure enough, all the rooms were filled with corpses!
The organs of these corpses had all been removed, and their bodies were covered with knife wounds, proving that something had eaten them!
The corpses of Wang Yuning and Ya Mo were also among them!
Liu Chengfeng trembled as he held onto the wall, slowly sitting down, his face paler than a sheet of paper.
"So… the decomposition liquid on the ceiling of our room… came from here…"
"But… Why are there so many corpses?"
"Could it be…"
Ning Qiushui looked out the window, towards the villa that was immersed in darkness.
"Perhaps… all the residents of this villa… are in here."
Liu Chengfeng swallowed his saliva, cold sweat pouring out like a shower.
The evil thing hiding in this villa… has eaten all the residents of the villa?
"Perhaps we are not the first group of people to come here to take care of the old lady. There are so many rooms downstairs, and they are specially designed, perhaps they are for the previous servants…"
Every word that Ning Qiushui said made Liu Chengfeng's heart beat faster.
"Xiao Ge… Why don't we leave here quickly…"
"If it comes back, we…"
Liu Chengfeng hadn't finished his sentence, but Ning Qiushui already understood what he meant.
"It's almost time to reveal the truth…"
"Goatee…"
"Don't you want to know… what is the thing that ate everyone in this villa…?"
Liu Chengfeng was stunned, then smiled bitterly.
"Xiao Ge, I found out that you really are not afraid of death…"
"The truth… is more important than life?"
Ning Qiushui asked back:
"If we leave here, are you sure you can leave this villa, leave this villa area?"
"Who knows what other killing rules it has?"
"Perhaps from the day we entered this villa, it has activated its killing rules. It's just that we're lucky, it hasn't been our turn yet."
"Moreover, it's already downstairs looking for prey, it's very likely right next to us… As the number of deaths increases, we'll be in even more danger!"
Liu Chengfeng was silent, his expression pensive. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Alright!"
"I trust you!"
They passed through the rooms filled with corpses, and came to the innermost room.
It was an office, the door was clean, without any blood stains, and looked out of place on this deadly third floor.
The two looked at each other, their eyes flashing.
"Maybe this is it!"
They carefully opened the door. A stream of dusty air rushed into their faces.
The room was not large, and inside was a skeleton that had long rotted. Judging from the size and shape of the skeleton, it could be seen that this was a girl around 14 or 15 years old.
The skeleton held a small teddy bear in its arms. The eyes of the teddy bear were pitch black, as if staring at the two people.
Ning Qiushui carefully approached, carefully observing the skeleton.
"This little girl… was not eaten."
"The ribs, the sternum, the neck bones… all had no traces of knives."
Previously, when he examined the bodies of Wang Yuning and Ya Mo, he noticed that although their internal organs and some muscles had been eaten, there were still traces of knives on their bones.
But the skeleton in front of him did not have any.
"Not eaten?"
"Then how did this girl die?" Liu Chengfeng became even more suspicious.
Ning Qiushui carefully observed the skeleton for a long time.
"Most likely starved to death or died of thirst."
"That demon probably couldn't enter this room, but this little girl couldn't get out either, locked in here… Without food and water, most people would die within three days."
"The windows were sealed with steel bars, covered with rust, showing that they had been installed a long time ago. Perhaps when the girl was little, her family was worried that she would climb out of the window and fall, so they installed these steel bars."
"But perhaps they did not expect that these steel bars… would take away the girl's last hope of survival!"
Hearing Ning Qiushui's words, Liu Chengfeng felt a chill down his spine. He could imagine the girl's despair when she was alive. Outside was a terrifying cannibalistic demon, inside was a room with no way out. In the end, she could only die in despair in this very room!
"Hey, Xiao Ge, look, behind that corpse… there seems to be something!"
