Xu Hao was very scared. He trembled as he spoke, tears and snot running down his face. "It's true. You have to believe me. I swear every word I said is true …"
Si Yu looked at him and asked, "You must have been hiding something from us! Tell us now. "
"I, I didn't … I didn't." Xu Hao's voice trembled. He covered his mouth with his hand and cried in fear. He trembled and looked pitiful.
"If you don't say anything, then we can't help you." Si Yu raised her chin and said casually, "Be careful. You might be the next one to die. After all, he smiled at you."
Si Yu gave them a look and said calmly, "Let's go."
Xu Hao grabbed Si Yu's clothes and half-knelt on the ground. "I, I'll talk. I'll tell you everything I know."
They followed Xu Hao into his dilapidated house. The house was filled with a strange stench. It was the smell of garbage and moldy food. After Xu Hao entered his house, he closed the door and said, "Actually, when you asked me just now, I lied."
"Wang Chunjiao is right. On the day Old Madam He disappeared, I stole something when I passed by the vegetable stall. At that time, I bumped into Old Madam He. I actually saw her walk into the butcher's shop, but I didn't think much of it at that time. I was stealing from the vegetable stall of the Gao family and was almost discovered. At that time, I directly jumped into the ditch."
"A ditch?" Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and asked. Not only him, but the others also looked at Xu Hao in confusion.
Xu Hao explained, "It's on both sides of the road you came from. Now you see that there are one-meter-long bricks on both sides of the road. In fact, there are two ditches on both sides. Later on, because of the serious pollution, the ditches on both sides became ugly. The water was extremely black, so we requested the village to put bricks on both sides of the ditch to seal it."
Gu Xizhou thought for a moment. On the way here, they had indeed heard splashing sounds. It seemed that there was still water flowing through the ditch.
Seeing Gu Xizhou nod, Xu Hao continued, "At that time, I jumped into the ditch and hid for about 20 minutes. Then, Old Master Mo came to find Old Madam He. While they were talking, I walked along the ditch and sneaked back home. When I came out of the house, I found out that Old Madam He was missing."
"At the time, I was in the river. I saw Old Madam He enter the butcher shop with my own eyes, but I didn't see her come out … Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. The strange thing is that the butcher said he had never seen Old Madam He before."
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why didn't you say anything when the police came to investigate?"
Xu Hao's body trembled. He raised his right hand, which was missing an index finger, and said, "I, I wouldn't dare! I'm scared of him! This finger of mine was chopped off by that butcher. At that time, my finger was chopped off by him! "
"Wasn't it chopped into three sections?" Yu Yifan retorted.
"Anyway, it was chopped off by him. I'm scared of him. Also, after I left, I wasn't sure if Old Madam He had left the butcher shop when no one was looking, so I didn't say anything." Xu Hao stuttered, "I was also scared that he would find trouble with me. Someone like the butcher … If he knew that I was talking nonsense, he would definitely kill me on the spot."
Gu Xizhou looked at him and motioned for Xu Hao to continue.
"After Old Madam He went missing, I had some guesses in my heart, but I was scared … When I thought about the meat he sold, I was very scared. Sometimes, I would secretly observe his butcher shop. I was seen by the surrounding vegetable vendors a few times, and they told the butcher that I wanted to steal his meat.
"At that time, if I didn't run fast enough, I would have been killed by him, thinking that I was a thief. Actually, I just wanted to know that meat … whether it was human meat or pork. At that time, I didn't dare to eat meat. Whenever I saw meat, I would vomit. "
The group was silent for a while. After listening to Xu Hao's story, it seemed that the butcher was the one who killed Old Madam He. The butcher sold the human meat after killing people. He sold meat himself, so it was easier for him to dispose of the body than other people.
Xu Hao might have seen Old Madam He walk into the butcher's shop, so he knew that Old Madam He's death was related to the butcher. What he saw was real, such as Lin Hao's body.
"You mean that the meat was sold to the villagers?" Gu Xizhou asked. "What evidence do you have?"
"This, this is just my guess …" Xu Hao shrunk his neck and explained, "Otherwise, how do you explain Old Madam He's disappearance? That must be it. If you ask the police to arrest him and investigate him, he will definitely confess. He is a demon! "
Gu Xizhou looked at Xu Hao. He didn't look like he was faking his fear. What he said just now was reasonable. Gu Xizhou asked him for some details, and after Xu Hao answered them, Gu Xizhou and the group left.
After leaving, Xiao Nan's spirit was much better. "Now, we just need to tell him the results of the investigation, and we should be able to leave, right?"
"I don't think it's that simple," Gu Xizhou frowned and said, "If that's the case, isn't it too simple?"
Xiao Nan rubbed his hands and said, "How is this simple? One of us died! Isn't it good to end it like this? Plus, this is the previous world, right? I don't think it will be too difficult. "
"Maybe." Gu Xizhou thought about it and said, "Let's tell the old man what Xu San told us first."
"Is that so …" Yu Yifan was a little disappointed. "I haven't experienced the feeling of being able to walk and jump …"
"You don't have to worry about that," Si Yu casually answered Yu Yifan's question. "As long as you can pass the mission worlds again and again, your cause of death will change. I've met people like you who were hospitalized because they were sick. They all recovered from their illness, and their cause of death would be the same as most of us, an accidental death. "
When Yu Yifan heard Si Yu's words, all his attention was attracted. He immediately asked Si Yu excitedly, "Really? Is that so? Does that mean I can eat when I get out of here? Can I eat? "
"I don't know about that. I can only tell you that your illness will be cured," Si Yu said calmly.
They walked all the way to Old Man Mo's house. Gu Xizhou glanced at the closed door and knocked on it.
When the old man came out, Si Yu went straight to the point and told the old man the results of the investigation. The old man revealed a strange smile, and the corner of his mouth cracked into a strange arc, looking very scary. He said gloomily, "Thank you."
When Xiao Nan heard the old man's words, he instantly became excited. He thought the old man was going to turn into a door, but the old man just slammed the door shut.
"Why … why didn't he turn the door into a door?" Xiao Nan asked sadly.
Gu Xizhou glanced at him. "I knew it wasn't that simple."
Xiao Nan was like a disheartened rooster.
Nothing happened that night.
Before they went downstairs, they heard a commotion outside. All the residents of Huangshui Village had come out.
When they heard the commotion outside, they all got out of bed. After washing up, Gu Xizhou and the others left the room together. Before he left, he intentionally looked at the number of people in the room. Very good, all five of them were there. None of them were missing an arm or a leg.
Wang Chunjiao stood in the middle of the crowd. She covered her eyes with her hands and peeked at the corpse on the ground through the gaps between her fingers.
"Oh my god, who did this? Isn't this too scary? "
"Who on earth would be so deranged?"
Gu Xizhou and the others pushed through the crowd and finally saw the corpse on the ground. A human brain was placed on the ground. Beside the brain was a pig's body, but it didn't have a head.
The ground was covered in blood. Gu Xizhou found Xu Hao among the crowd. Xu Hao was looking at the head on the ground in fear. Suddenly, he turned around and ran while screaming!
Gu Xizhou and the others were about to chase after him when they suddenly heard a gurgling sound.
Gu Xizhou instinctively turned around and saw the head on the ground suddenly open its eyes. It stared in the direction Xu Hao had left in. Its face was ferocious, and the bloody face revealed a creepy smile.
"Ah — —" This was Yu Yizhou's first time coming into direct contact with a supernatural situation. His entire face turned pale. He clutched Gu Xizhou's clothes tightly and said in a trembling voice, "He, he's smiling."
"I'm not blind. I saw it."
Yu Yizhou avoided the gaze of the head and asked Gu Xizhou in a low voice, "You, you're not afraid?"
"It's alright. I've seen it a few times." Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and said casually.
Si Yu was also very calm. The only people who had a common topic with Yu Yizhou were Xiao Nan and Fang Zhi.
"The Butcher is dead. It seems like he's related to Old Madam He's disappearance. "Gu Xizhou frowned and said," But the door didn't appear. "
"What do we do now?"
Gu Xizhou observed Si Yu. Their eyes met. Si Yu curled his lips and said, "I don't know. Let's find that old man first."
"Okay, we'll listen to you." Gu Xizhou said.
The few of them went straight to the old man's house. They knocked on the door and it opened with a creak.
The old man didn't seem to be at home. Gu Xizhou and Si Yu looked at each other and had an idea, "Let's go in and take a look!"
"Will … will something happen?" Xiao Nan said hesitantly.
"You can't catch the wolf without risking the child. The door hasn't appeared yet. There must be something we didn't expect. "Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and said," Let's go in and take a look. Maybe we'll find some clues. "
Xiao Nan was still hesitant. At this time, Yu Yifan raised his hand and said weakly, "I think Gu Ge is right …"
Xiao Nan looked speechlessly at the silly guy in front of him. Gu Ran and the other two were obviously together. This guy was quite obedient?
Xiao Nan had no choice but to follow Gu Xizhou and the others into the house.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, everyone couldn't help but frown. They didn't know what was in the house. They could smell a stench from afar.
Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi looked at each other. They were familiar with this smell — it was the smell of a corpse.
