"No … It's not like that. It's definitely not like that. That thing came out yesterday too!"
If such a rule was true, there was no need to think about the outcome — one of them would die!
"Brother Lei, Ah Wei, you can't leave me alone! We're the ones who came together! " At this moment, a gentle and aggrieved voice was heard. Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with tears as she suddenly started crying.
When Yuanyuan heard this delicate voice, she instinctively looked at Brother Lei and the other man in the same room. At the same time, she realized that the two of them took a step back without leaving a trace and stood together with the fickle Xiao Yu.
Ah Wei shifted his gaze away from Yuanyuan and said guiltily, "That Yuanyuan … We used to live together with Xiao Yu, so …"
When they were first allocated rooms, it was Brother Lei who redistributed the rooms. However, in terms of feelings, they still chose Xiao Yu. In fact, they did not tell the truth on the first day. The two of them, Xiao Yu and Dong Chao had already known each other in the previous world. This time, the four of them actually came together!
When they had to make a choice, they did not hesitate to abandon the newcomer girl and choose Xiao Yu, who they had worked with a few times, instead of a newcomer.
"You … How can you do this? What, what should I do? What should I do? "
"No … It's not like that …"
The woman in the room suddenly started crying. Gu Xizhou turned to look at the newcomer. The woman broke down emotionally. When she saw Brother Lei and the others looking at each other, she fell into despair. "No, you can't do this to me! No, I won't. I don't want to die — "
"Don't leave me alone. Don't leave me alone. Please … I can do anything. Please …"
Xiao Yu looked at the girl and stood behind the two men. She grabbed the corners of their clothes tightly. "I'm sorry Yuanyuan, but Brother Lei and I came in together. Please … don't blame me."
"Besides, this is just their guess. It might not be true …"
Seeing the girl's venomous gaze, Xiao Yu lowered her head as if she was being bullied. She was full of grievance. "I didn't want to do this. Please don't hate me."
After she said this, a male voice suddenly sounded, "Put down the knife, what are you doing!"
Gu Xizhou saw a fruit knife stabbed straight into Ah Wei's heart. The girl looked at her blood-stained hand helplessly and said, "I … I didn't want to kill you. I clearly wanted to … it was her. She pushed you!"
Yuan Yuan explained in fear … Suddenly, she looked at the rest of the people and her eyes lit up. "Brother Lei … There are only six of us left. Six of us … No one needs to sleep in a room alone!"
Brother Lei trembled and took a few steps back, but the girl walked closer and closer. "The three of us will share a room …"
"We won't die," the girl said. "We can definitely leave this place. There are only two days left!"
Brother Lei shook his head. He swallowed subconsciously and pointed behind the girl.
Behind the woman, the already dead Ah Wei was crawling on the ground like an arthropod. His neck kept elongating until it was similar to the monster that they had seen yesterday. His head circled around the woman like a snake and curled around her neck. He looked at the woman and grinned. His mouth instantly opened into a gaping maw and was about to bite her.
Gu Xizhou wanted to move, but a force pinned him to the spot, preventing him from moving. In his daze, Gu Xizhou heard the sound of chains sliding.
After the monster that was Ah Wei consumed the woman, his body instantly returned to normal, but at the same time, he was still as dead as a doornail.
"Dead, dead …" Brother Lei's whole body shook. This was not the first time he had encountered something like this. When he entered the mission world for the first time, there was a newbie who did not believe the seniors and killed to protect himself. In the end, he was taken away by the dead person.
He was not allowed to kill in the mission world, that was a rule that he had always adhered to.
After the monster disappeared, Gu Xizhou realized that the restraint on his body had disappeared. The force disappeared instantly.
"There was a strange sound earlier," Gu Xizhou said.
Si Yu turned to look at him. "What sound?"
"When the man killed the girl, I think I heard the sound of chains." Gu Xizhou looked at the male body on the ground with confusion.
"I didn't hear that."
"I didn't hear it either …"
"You heard wrong," Si Yu said lightly.
Seeing that everyone said they did not hear it, including Xiao Fang, Gu Xizhou frowned. In the previous world, when he saw the memory of the female ghost committing suicide, he had also heard the sound of chains …
"So … what should we do now?" Xiao Yu swallowed and pulled Brother Lei back. She pointed at the body on the ground. There were only five of them, and the three of them had always worked together. Once she thought about that rule, her whole body shook in fear.
She cursed, "D * mn it, that woman wants to kill all of us!"
Hearing this, Brother Lei looked at Ah Wei's body on the ground. His face turned pale. "What else can we do? There are only the two of us in the room. If we really want to die, we won't be able to escape."
"If she wants to die, why does she want to drag us down with her? Ahhh!"
Fang Zhi saw the woman break down and scream crazily. His Adam's apple bobbed. He looked at Gu Xizhou and Si Yu as if he wanted to say something. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted.
Si Yu smirked and said calmly, "Don't say anything about caring about them. First, the rule we guessed might not be correct. Second, do you think you're the savior here and can save everyone?"
"We can save those that we can, but don't mention those that we know we can't."
"Also … don't think that this world makes you suffer because we're all destined to die. Without it, we would have died long ago."
Si Yu said softly, "Everyone who enters this world is destined to die. Do you still remember what I said to you on the first day? If we continue to live here, we're just fighting against the heavens. "
Fang Zhi was speechless by Si Yu's words. The script he had prepared in his mind was stuck in his throat. However, Si Yu was right. If he didn't make it out alive this time … in the real world, he would be killed by a woman's car …
The face of his younger sister, who was still in university, slowly appeared in his mind. He couldn't die yet!
Gu Xizhou patted him on the shoulder. Not having three people in the room didn't mean that they would die because there weren't enough people in the previous rooms. However, it didn't mean that they would be wiped out immediately. It was different from the shattering of the mirror.
When the mirror shattered, he didn't feel anything strange around him. However, the person who threw the mirror instantly disintegrated in front of him. This kind of unfathomable rule of death was scarier than ghosts.
At night, Gu Xizhou's group of five returned to their respective rooms. Brother Lei looked at them with a bitter smile. He felt helpless.
After Gu Xizhou's group of three returned to their room, there was a commotion upstairs.
"That wretched girl is dying every day. Who is she trying to show off to? Don't I treat you well? If it weren't for me, would you be able to live in this villa and live like this? "The male owner of the house scolded from upstairs.
"Hubby, don't be angry. I'll go next door and talk to her. She has been obedient since she was young. That child's death was a huge blow to her."
With that, the woman opened the door and left. Soon, Gu Xizhou's group didn't hear any sound. They didn't have a clue what was going on.
Gu Xizhou carefully recalled the events of the past few days. He turned to look at Si Yu and said, "You said that Lin Meng's painting was a hint. Could it be that her previous paintings were also a hint?"
Si Yu pondered for a moment and said, "That's possible."
"Do you remember the paintings we saw at the beginning?"
Si Yu nodded. Fang Zhi also recalled. The first painting was a self-portrait of Lin Meng. The second painting was of Lin Meng and her father. The third painting was of Lin Meng's younger sister and her father. The last painting was a family portrait.
"I remember that in those paintings, except for Lin Meng and her younger sister, the other four people's skin color was as dark as the dead." Si Yu said, "But the people in the paintings all had faint smiles on their faces. There was no anger or fear."
Gu Xizhou nodded. "Yes, there must be a special meaning behind this difference."
The two of them were deep in thought. At this moment, Fang Zhi suddenly raised his hand. Under Gu Xizhou's gaze, he whispered, "I, I have an idea."
Si Yu was slightly surprised. He gestured for him to continue. "Go ahead."
"Dark skin color and fear on their faces represent death. White skin color and anger on their faces represent that they are still alive. So the master's family with dark skin but smiling faces … Does it mean that in Lin Meng's eyes, they are dead but they are not really dead?" After Fang Zhi finished speaking, he looked at the two of them weakly and waited for their answers.
"It's very possible!"
Gu Xizhou nodded. "This is a very reasonable explanation. In this case, Lin Meng actually hates her family and wants them to die."
"What's the reason?"
Si Yu and Fang Zhi shook their heads at the same time.
Lin Meng's family was obviously very well-off. Her whole family had immigrated to the United States. This time, they returned to their hometown to visit relatives. During the past few days, they could see that Lin Meng's life was not restricted. She was not mistreated by her family. Moreover, from her food and clothes, they could see that her family had always raised her well.
"Could it be because of the dead baby?" Fang Zhi asked.
Gu Xizhou shook his head. "No, those drawings were drawn before we came. At that time, the baby was still alive."
Fang Zhi rubbed his forehead. As a criminal police officer, he could still find clues for murder cases. However, in this world, he still felt like he was blind. If he had not brought Gu Ge and Si Yu into this world at the same time, he would have been dead.
At night, Gu Xizhou was sleeping when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
"Open the door! Open the door! Hurry up and open the door! " Brother Lei knocked on the door anxiously. Today, he had been feeling uneasy when he went to sleep. He suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and found that he was the only one in the room!
Xiao Yu was gone!
He couldn't help but recall the vicious look in Xiao Yu's eyes last night. He had a bad premonition.
