Ning Qiushui also noticed the foreign object behind the body. He groped in the darkness and found a notebook. The thick layer of dust had imprinted someone's desperate fingerprints.
He flipped the notebook open. Under the dim moonlight, the two of them saw the hastily written words:
...
June 1, 2037, Cloudy
... Grandpa called, saying that grandma missed mom, wanted mom to come home…
... But for some reason, mom firmly refused, even though she usually cared a lot about grandma…
...
June 9, 2037, Cloudy
... Mom didn't go to work…
... Mom looks very scared…
... What is Mom scared of?
...
June 12, 2037, Cloudy
... These past few days, Mom has been secretly crying. I asked her why she was crying, but she didn't say anything, just hugged me tightly...
... Mom hugged me so tightly, I felt like I couldn't breathe...
...
June 21, 2037, Drizzle
... Grandma passed away, Grandpa called to inform Mom. After hanging up, Mom's face was very ugly...
... Mom suddenly left the house, and didn't return until late at night. Mom gave me a piece of blood-red jade, telling me to hang it on the window, and not to take it down no matter what happened...
...
June 22, 2037, Heavy Rain
... Mom packed her luggage and left the house with Dad, leaving only me and Auntie Wang, the maid who had taken care of me for many years…
... Before leaving, they told me and Auntie Wang, if they saw them coming back, we must not open the door…
...
July 12, 2037, Heavy Rain
... Mom has returned…
... I remember what my parents told me, but I still open the door…
... I… miss them so much…
...
August 1, 2037, Heavy Rain
... That's not right…
... It's… not mom!
...
August 15, 2037, Heavy Rain
... I'm not a good child, I disobeyed my parents, let that scary thing into the house…
... Now it's outside…
... I'm very hungry, very thirsty, but I don't dare to go out…
... Am I... going to die?
... What should I do?
...
The diary ended here.
The content inside made people shiver.
The two looked at each other, silent for a long time.
"It turns out… the old lady on the second floor is not the villa owner's mother, but… the maid." Liu Chengfeng swallowed his saliva.
"So… that monster…"
Ning Qiushui closed the diary, looked at Liu Chengfeng, and said:
"In the shoe cabinet at the entrance, there are a lot of newly bought women's shoes. I thought, a woman who loves shoes so much, if she goes on a trip, she will definitely bring a few pairs, right?"
Liu Chengfeng was stunned. They had passed by that shoe cabinet many times, but no one had noticed this detail.
Ning Qiushui's observation skills… were really scary!
"Moreover, don't you want to know what the three words that the old lady on the second floor kept repeating were?"
Liu Chengfeng came back to his senses and looked at Ning Qiu Shui.
"Is… What is it?"
Under the pale moonlight, Ning Qiushui looked straight at Liu Chengfeng, slowly speaking the truth that made him shiver:
"The old lady on the second floor didn't say "I'm not used to meat"".
"She wants to tell us that… "You're not leaving!""
Liu Chengfeng held his breath, his eyes wide open.
"Xiao Ge, you mean… The woman in the red dress we saw that day… hasn't left yet?!"
Ning Qiushui slowly nodded.
"That's right."
"It never left."
"It's probably hiding somewhere nearby… and eating that little girl."
Thud!
Liu Chengfeng's legs buckled, and he fell to the ground.
"F**k…"
He was trembling, his whole body was cold.
Ning Qiushui walked to the window, reaching out to touch the blood-colored jade.
No matter what it was, what material it was made of… it didn't matter.
What mattered was…
This jade could block that terrifying thing, something that no one knew exactly what it was!
Suddenly, he thought of something, turned to Liu Chengfeng, and said:
"Goatee, hurry up!"
"Let's split up. You go to the kitchen on the first floor, pretend to prepare the ingredients, the more the better!"
Liu Chengfeng was stunned.
"Then… then what about you?"
Ning Qiushui replied:
"I'll go to the second floor and bring the old lady down!"
Liu Chengfeng immediately understood Ning Qiushui's intention.
"We… won't encounter that monster, right?"
Ning Qiushui looked at him, her eyes determined.
"We have to take a risk!"
"There aren't many of us left, and we can only sneak in here when it comes downstairs to find food!"
"If we miss tonight, it won't be that easy to bring the old lady and food in here again!"
Hearing this, Liu Chengfeng gritted his teeth.
"Okay!"
Having come to this point, there was no way back.
He trusted Ning Qiushui absolutely.
If it weren't for Ning Qiushui, he would have died on the first night.
At this point, he could only take a gamble!
The two of them carefully left the room. After confirming that the monster had not returned, they quickly dispersed. Liu Chengfeng ran down to the first floor kitchen. The kitchen was dark, but he remembered Ning Qiushui's instructions and did not turn on the lights. Fortunately, he worked here during the day, so he remembered the location of each ingredient.
However, Liu Chengfeng's hands were still trembling violently.
In the darkness, it seemed like countless eyes were watching him.
From the dark corners, behind the doors, it seemed like terrifying ghosts could appear at any moment, swallowing him up!
"Hurry… Hurry…"
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
Cold sweat poured down his forehead like rain.
In no time, Liu Chengfeng had filled three bags of food. He carried the three bags of food, and ran up the stairs.
Ning Qiushui was also carrying the old woman upstairs. The old woman was quite heavy, about 70kg, if it wasn't for Ning Qiushui's extraordinary physical strength, he probably wouldn't be able to carry her!
"Go ahead!"
Ning Qiushui saw Liu Chengfeng stop in the hallway and urged him.
Liu Chengfeng nodded and carried three bags of food up to the third floor.
Ning Qiushui also hurriedly followed. The third floor floor was slippery and slippery, he couldn't walk fast, otherwise he would fall.
The old woman was weak, if she fell, who knows what would happen!
"Hurry… Hurry…"
Arriving at the third floor, Ning Qiushui rushed towards the office. Liu Chengfeng was already standing at the door, sticking his head out to look around, his expression alert.
Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock, as if he had seen something!
Liu Chengfeng waved his hand towards Ning Qiushui, trembling and shouting:
"Hurry up! Xiao Ge!"
"It… It's chasing after us!!!"
Hearing this, Ning Qiushui felt a chill down his spine!
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
The terrifying sound of knives and forks rubbing together rang out from behind. Ning Qiushui clenched his teeth and rushed forward like a moth!
At this moment, he no longer cared about whether he would fall or not!
Ning Qiushui knew that if he hesitated any longer, he would undoubtedly die!
The icy cold breath spread along with the pale moonlight, enveloping Ning Qiushui. He didn't dare to turn back, and he couldn't turn back!
Faster…
Must be faster!!!
Ning Qiushui roared in his heart, gritted his teeth, and desperately ran forward!
But even though he used all his strength, the terrifying sound of knives and forks scraping against each other was getting closer and closer…
Not good!
Carrying a person, he couldn't escape from that monster!
When he was only five steps away from the door, a cold, pale hand suddenly reached out from behind, grabbing Ning Qiushui's neck!
"Where do you want to… run ?"
A cold, resentful female voice rang out in his ears.
Ning Qiushui's body was cold, as if all his strength had been drained.
He… slowed down.
Just as Ning Qiushui was in despair, waiting for death to come, a figure suddenly rushed out from the office, delivering a powerful blow to that pale arm!
"Ah ah ah!!!"
A piercing, miserable scream rang out. Following a puff of white smoke, the other hand let go. At the same time, another warm hand grabbed Ning Qiushui, pulling him into the office!
As soon as he entered, Liu Chengfeng immediately ran to the window, hurriedly hanging up the blood-colored jade!
After finishing, he fell to the ground, his legs trembling violently…
"Ah!!!"
The woman in the red dress screamed madly, furiously. She crawled to the front of the room, looking at the two people with a hateful gaze.
At this moment, thanks to the moonlight, they could clearly see the woman's face…
That was… what a terrifying face!
Her mouth was wide open, her sharp teeth crowded together in its mouth, and one could vaguely see rotting flesh and hair inside…
Her eyes were full of cracks, as if they were about to crumble.
Her limbs were twice as long as a normal person, and its entire body was curled up like a giant spider clinging to the wall!
In its hand, she held a bloody knife, sharp to the point of being terrifying!
"F**k… It… what the hell is it?!"
Liu Chengfeng felt like he was about to stop breathing, his mouth continuously uttering curses.
The woman in the red dress screamed crazily, she kept banging on the door, as if she wanted to rush in, but seemed to be restrained by something, in the end she could only glare at the two people, growl angrily and then leave…
