Fang Zhi hugged his blanket in fear. His gaze landed on Gu Xizhou and Si Yu as he asked, "I … I'll go?"
Gu Xizhou waved his hand, indicating that there was no need. He flipped over and sat up on the bed. He said to the person outside, "He's here. Stop knocking."
Gu Xizhou got up to open the door for Brother Lei. He saw the man rush in. Actually, he was a little surprised that Gu Xizhou opened the door for him.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll be chased by a monster? You opened the door for me without asking? "Brother Lei asked.
Gu Xizhou's boss yawned and said nonchalantly, "I'm not that afraid of monsters. But why are you looking for us in the middle of the night?"
"Xiao Yu is missing," Brother Lei said. His face suddenly turned pale as he pointed under Fang Zhi's bed.
Gu Xizhou and Si Yu instinctively looked in the direction of his finger. Under Fang Zhi's bed, the white bedsheet covered a little part of her blue dress. Fang Zhi saw the two of them staring under his bed and instinctively lifted the bedsheet. A pair of eyes under the dim bed met his eyes.
"You … Why are you under my bed?!" Fang Zhi's face was filled with confusion and his eyes were blank. He had no idea when Xiao Yu had entered his room, and … and was even sleeping under his bed!
F * ck. Fang Zhi instantly thought of the conditions they had agreed to during the day. He cursed in his heart, but because of work, he couldn't say anything harsh. He could only glare at the woman.
The woman under the bed cried sadly. After being discovered, she didn't say a word and crawled out from under Fang Zhi's bed.
Brother Lei's face turned pale as he asked, "If that's the case, how many people are sleeping in your room?"
Fang Zhi instinctively looked at the woman. However, the woman just sat on the ground and cried sadly. Her tears flowed down and she completely ignored Brother Lei's question.
Si Yu sneered, "What are you crying for? Don't think we don't know about your evil intentions when you sneaked into our rooms in the middle of the night."
The woman sitting on the ground suddenly stopped crying when she saw that she had been exposed mercilessly. She sneered and glanced coldly at the three men in Gu Xizhou. She stood up from the ground and glanced at Brother Lei. She said, "Hmph, you're such a nice guy. Why are you looking for me here when you didn't see me when you woke up?"
"Then I hope you don't die here tonight," the woman said coldly.
After saying that, the woman turned around and slammed the door as she left Gu Xizhou's room. At this moment, other than the lights in their room, a cold wind suddenly blew in from outside the door.
Less than a minute after the woman left, a woman's blood-curdling scream came from the darkness. Then a shadow appeared in the corridor from outside. It was dragging the woman who was covered in blood away from the corridor.
They couldn't even see the woman struggling. She was lying quietly on the ground, covered in blood.
"Oh my God!" Brother Lei was so frightened that he instantly closed his eyes. He suddenly felt like vomiting. He glanced outside and saw that the corridor was covered in blood. That thing was much taller than an average person. Its neck was like a coiled snake. He instinctively closed the door.
The sound of bones being gnawed could be heard from outside the door. Blood flowed into their room through the crack in the door. Fang Zhi held his right hand with his left hand and listened nervously to the movements outside.
The sound kept ringing at the door. It seemed like it hadn't left yet. It was right outside their room.
Fang Zhi was at a loss. He … was so scared.
Even the usually calm Brother Lei had goosebumps all over his body when he heard the sound outside the door. He was so scared that his legs turned to jelly and he sat on the ground. "How can this be? We're all going to die. This world isn't simple at all. It's too difficult … It's impossible to leave this place alive. It's impossible …"
"Be quiet. There's no sound outside the door." Gu Xizhou stopped Brother Lei, who was on the verge of breaking down.
"It seems to have stopped," Si Yu said softly. He turned to look at Brother Lei, who was on the verge of breaking down. "Get up first."
"Don't leave me alone. I'm scared." Brother Lei sobbed. "I've never experienced a world like this. It's so simple. Why did so many people die?"
"I didn't ask you to go back alone. Do you still have your mirror?" Gu Xizhou asked.
Brother Lei was probably really scared. His eyes were red and he choked. "Yes. I brought a mirror to my room yesterday. It's in the bedside table."
"The mirror must have other uses. Bring all the mirrors here first." Gu Xizhou rubbed his head and said to him.
Brother Lei heard this and looked at the closed door. His face was pale and he looked like he was scared out of his wits. He choked. "I … I don't dare to go out. I'm scared."
Gu Xizhou glanced at him and patted him on the shoulder. "I'll go to your room to get the mirror. Tell me the exact location."
Brother Lei told him the location of the mirror and asked in a trembling voice, "Will you be in danger if you go alone …"
"You don't have to worry about that." Gu Xizhou glanced at Brother Lei, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. The man's eyes were red and his face was covered in tears and snot. He looked very pitiful.
Si Yu looked at Gu Xizhou in surprise. He really didn't understand Gu Xizhou.
Gu Xizhou left the room and went straight to the room next door. There was a cracked mirror on the bed in the room next door. This was probably the mirror that Xiao Yu had taken away.
He found the mirror according to Brother Lei's instructions. Just as he was about to leave, the mirror in his hand suddenly acted strangely. A pale hand suddenly reached out from the mirror and grabbed his wrist.
Gu Xizhou was grabbed by the hand, but he didn't let go of the mirror in his hand. He grabbed the pale hand and dragged the owner of the hand out of the room.
The three people in the room were waiting for Gu Xizhou to come back. When they saw Gu Xizhou being attacked, they suddenly heard a strange scream in the dark.
Fang Zhi didn't care about his fear and rushed into the room next door. In the dark, a slender figure was standing in the room. From the height and build, Fang Zhi could tell that it was Gu Ge.
"Gu Ge, are you okay?"
In the dark, Gu Xizhou saw Fang Zhi and Si Yu rushing over. When he turned to look at the mirror in his hand, the hand was gone.
"I'm fine," Gu Xizhou said indifferently. "Let's go back to the room first."
The three of them returned to the room. Brother Lei was at a loss when he saw Gu Xizhou come back safe and sound. "You, you're okay?"
"Yeah," Gu Xizhou replied.
"What was that sound just now?" Brother Lei trembled in fear. However, when he saw that Gu Xizhou was safe and sound, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Gu Xizhou said, "That damn thing wanted to come out of your mirror. The mirror is too small and it's in pain because it's stuck. It's screaming in there."
Brother Lei: "…" I didn't believe your nonsense!
Fang Zhi: "…"
Si Yu: "…"
Gu Xizhou said, "Let's sleep first. It probably won't appear tonight."
It was a dreamless night. Other than Gu Xizhou, the other three didn't feel sleepy at all. Obviously, they didn't believe Gu Xizhou's words. The three of them forced themselves to keep their eyes open and wait for dawn.
Early in the morning, Brother Lei saw Xiao Yu appear in the dining room. He instinctively swallowed his saliva.
"Miss, let's go and sketch." Gu Xizhou patted the woman's shoulder with a faint smile on his face.
Lin Meng: "Okay, okay."
He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Lin Meng was a little afraid of Gu Xizhou today. Every time she talked to Gu Xizhou, she would be nervous. Brother Lei was stunned.
After asking Lin Meng to sketch, they confirmed that there were four survivors, although they already knew about the situation last night.
On the way back, Gu Xizhou suddenly pulled Si Yu. Si Yu raised her eyebrows. "?"
"Today and tomorrow are the last days. Let's go upstairs and take a look. What do you think?"
"No, we can't …" Brother Lei hesitated.
Fang Zhi nodded in agreement with Gu Xizhou. "We've already checked downstairs. There's no useful information at all. We have no other choice but to go upstairs. Also … those people didn't say that we can't go upstairs, right?"
"Yeah." Si Yu nodded. "Yeah … we can try."
They went back to the villa and had a simple lunch. Brother Lei looked at Lin Meng who was going upstairs. He swallowed and asked with difficulty, "Are we really going up?"
Gu Xizhou nodded. "Of course. Do you want to sleep alone tonight?"
"No … I don't want to."
He would be dead if he slept alone! Brother Lei hurriedly explained. He was afraid that the three of them would leave him alone if he spoke too slowly.
The four of them sneaked upstairs.
Gu Xizhou pushed open the first room. There was no one in the room. It should be the study of the male owner. There were many pictures in the study. There was a picture of a five or six-year-old girl, and pictures of her growing up. They finally confirmed that it was Lin Meng in the last picture.
"The male owner likes his daughter very much. He put so many pictures in the room," Brother Lei said subconsciously.
Fang Zhi picked up the pictures and looked at them. He frowned. "There are only pictures of Lin Meng in the study. There's no picture of Lin Meng's mother?"
"What's so strange about that?" Brother Lei was stunned and asked.
Fang Zhi shook his head. Based on his intuition as a criminal police officer, he felt that there might be something wrong.
"Okay, let's go to the next room and have a look," Gu Xizhou said.
He gently turned the doorknob. This was Lin Meng's room. She was taking a nap. She was curled up on the bed like a baby. There was a baby chair beside her bed. There were two pictures in the room. They had never seen them before.
The first painting was still the same reservoir, but the three people in the painting were three young people that they had never seen before.
The three young people were smiling and looking straight ahead. A smiling girl was reflected in their pupils. It was Lin Meng.
There were four small words written in the footer of the picture — My Hero.
The second picture was of a newborn baby holding a furry bear in her hands.
There were also words written in charcoal at the footer — Mommy loves you.
"Who is it …?" The woman opened her sleepy eyes in a half-awake state.
