A knock on the door interrupted Shen Xixi's reminiscence. She got up, looked through the peephole, and pulled out the door bolt.
Li Bai walked in from the outside, picked up the mineral water on the table, and gulped down half a bottle. He then said, "I've found out that the group of people is in the opposite community."
"How many people are there?" Shen Xixi asked.
"This is a small society that has just emerged. There are less than twenty people in total, and most of them were dragged in without knowing why. They shouldn't be affected much. The ones who are deeply affected are probably only three to five people."
Shen Xixi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. "Thank you for your hard work. After dealing with this trouble, we won't leave today. We will rest here for the night and continue on our journey tomorrow."
Li Bai seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated.
However, Shen Xixi was thinking about what to do next, and she did not notice the look on Li Bai's face. After that, she took out a headset from her pocket and put it on.
Rabbit's voice came from the other end of the headset, "Where are you now?"
"We are getting ready to leave. We will arrive in about ten minutes," Shen Xixi said after looking at the watch on her hand.
"Okay, don't worry. They are still setting up the venue, and it seems that not everyone is here. They won't be able to organize anything in ten minutes." Rabbit licked her lips and pressed the flush button on the toilet.
However, after hearing what she said, Shen Xixi sped up and left the hotel with Li Bai with a suitcase.
After that, the two found a public toilet on the side of the road and went in with the suitcase. When they came out two minutes later, they had transformed into two police officers.
Police caps, police uniforms, law enforcement recorders, and even their police IDs. In other words, as long as they did not check the police system, it was almost impossible for them to be seen through.
After changing, Shen Xixi and Li Bai rushed to the target community. With their police uniforms, the security guard did not stop them. He even took the initiative to ask if they needed any help.
Shen Xixi asked him to unlock the door of Building 1. After that, they took the elevator to the eleventh floor. They did not even need to knock on the door because the door of Room 1104 was wide open.
There was a strange-looking ornament hanging on the door. For some reason, the security guard felt a chill in his heart when he saw the ornament. He felt uncomfortable, but it was difficult for him to look away. Just as he was about to take a closer look, the policewoman in front of him suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of him. At the same time, she pulled the ornament down and put it into a document bag.
Then, without any hesitation, he walked in.
There were already seven people in the living room. Five of them were on the sofa, and the other two were standing in front of the window, smoking and talking about something.
Seeing Shen Xixi and Li Bai coming in from the outside, everyone in the room except for Rabbit, who pretended to be attracted to join the club.
Shen Xixi turned on the law enforcement recorder and then took out her police officer ID. "Police, who is the owner of this house?"
The people in the room looked at each other, and then a man standing by the window smoking coughed and said, "This house belongs to Old He. He is in the back room. Do you want me to call him?"
"No need. I will go by myself," Shen Xixi said. She then gave Li Bai a look, asking him to stay here and watch the people in the living room while she continued to walk inside.
It was a three-bedroom house. In addition to the living room, there were three other rooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen. The kitchen could be seen from the living room, and there was no one inside. The bathroom was now on Shen Xixi's left, and the door was closed. It seemed that someone was using the toilet.
There was a study room, and the door was open. Similarly, there was no one inside. After that, there were only the master bedroom and the second bedroom. Shen Xixi first opened the door of the second bedroom and found that it was a children's room. There was a child about eleven or twelve years old inside. He should have just come home from school, and he was leaning on the table doing his homework.
When Shen Xixi saw the little boy looking back, she tried to squeeze a smile on her face. "It's okay. You can continue studying." After that, she left the second bedroom, closed the door, and reached out to push the door of the master bedroom next door. However, this time, it did not open.
Shen Xixi knocked on the door. After about three seconds, a voice came from inside, "Wait a minute. The event needs to be prepared before it can start."
However, Shen Xixi continued to knock on the door as if she did not hear it.
A few seconds later, the door of the master bedroom finally opened, but it was only opened a small angle. The person inside poked his head out and saw Shen Xixi.
It was a thin man with deep dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he had not been sleeping well. When he saw Shen Xixi, a look of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down. However, the change in his eyes did not escape Shen Xixi's eyes.
"Officer, what can I do for you?" the man asked.
"We have received a report that someone is forming an illegal association here. Come with us."
"Illegal association? No, no, no. We are not doing that kind of thing. It's just a small gathering between friends, and there is no cash involved. I bought the drinks and food for the party with my own money, "the man hurriedly defended himself.
However, the female police officer in front of him was unmoved. She just spat out two words, "Open the door."
"We … It's not convenient now," the man stammered.
But the next moment, Shen Xixi kicked the door. Not only did the door open, but the man behind the door was also thrown aside by the force, falling to the ground.
The expression on his face was a little confused. Perhaps he did not expect to encounter such a violent police officer. In such a situation, shouldn't they give a warning first? After a few times, they would only choose to break the door.
As a result, the female police officer in front of him skipped to the last step. In addition to the man who was leaning on the door, there were two other people in the room. One of them looked like his wife, and the other, who was slightly older, might be his uncle.
They were busy creating a strange and abstract mural on the wall. The mural depicted a guy with an octopus head wreaking havoc in the world. Just like before, Shen Xixi only took a glance at it before she wanted to look away. But the next moment, she felt that her eyes were attracted by something. The thing in the mural seemed to have come to life, and tentacles stretched out from the wall!
Shen Xixi felt a strong sense of dizziness in her head. Her body swayed, and before she could make the next move, she fell to the ground. The last scene in her consciousness was the woman among the three opposite her pulling out a fruit knife from under the bed in a panic.
