The whole team was in a foul mood after Zhong Chengjians unexpected breakdown.
Zhong Chengjian had hacked the woman bodys to pieces to the point that her corpse was unrecognizable; lumps of tissue and flesh were ssily littered about, and thick crimson blood spattered the kitchen floors.
Sared in blood from head to toe, Zhong Chengjian covered his face with his trembling hands and howled miserably. He simply couldnt keep himself together; it was as if he couldnt take any more of this, as if he had already given up on himself.
The look on everyones faces was beyond complicated. An infuriated Tang Yaoyao stood near the pool of blood, looking as if she wanted to strangle sobody. With black lines marring her face, she scrubbed her arms hatefully in an attempt to clean the blood off her body.
Wu wu wu, what should I do? Zhong Chengjian choked out between his sobs. I didnt an to kill her, I didnt an to kill her. I was just so pissedit was just in the heat of the mont
Kill, kill, kill, snarled Zhang Xinghuo, incredibly annoyed. His already ruined mood grew even worse after hearing the other repeat the word kill way too many tis for his liking. He spitefully added, In any case, this isnt the real world, and there are no police officers to arrest you here, so what the fuck are you crying about?
Right. Thats right. This isnt reality. Having been reminded of this by Zhang Xinghuo, Zhong Chengjian suddenly seed to have beco enlightened. His face broke into a wide grin, and he happily bobbed his head in agreent. As long as I leave this place, nobody will know that I killed soone.
Not a single person uttered a word upon hearing this. Tang Yaoyaos lips curled into a contemptuous sneer. No questions asked, every experienced person here held the sa exact thought. It was certainly true that you would be free and alright once you left this hellhole, but thats also under the condition that you are able to leave it in the first place.
As the mbers talked amongst themselves, Lin Qiushi caught sight of two shadows flitting past the doorway. Although he wasnt able to see the shadows clearly, he was positive the figures belonged to the remaining two identical little girls.
Now what? Tang Yaoyao looked at the ghastly, chaotic ruins of what was supposed to be a kitchen, and her head began to ache. She pressed her fingers against her temples and grumbled, Look at this kitchen. I honestly dont want to go in there and clean this ss.
Just wait a bit. Ruan Nanzhu said. Perhaps itll be as clean as a sheet tomorrow.
Assuming he was rely joking around, the group didnt bother responding to him.
That afternoon, everyone locked themselves in their rooms. The filthy kitchen hadnt been cleaned, and the pungent sll even managed to spread to the living room, causing those sitting there to gag at the rancid stench. Without a second thought, everyone vacated the area, helplessly escaping to their rooms so that they didnt have to bear with this vile odor any longer.
When it was ti for dinner, Lin Qiushi, who was sitting on the bed with his head down as he played with his mobile phone, slled the aroma of food.
The scent was indescribably tantalizing, simply mouthwatering. The mont it hit Lin Qiushis nostrils, he couldnt help but drool. Swallowing hard, he wondered, What is this sll?
Soones cooking? A dejected Ruan Nanzhu was sprawled listlessly across the bed. He groaned in frustration, Ugh, Im fucking starving. Thats final, Im treating myself to the best al when I get back.
Lin Qiushi: Should we go and have a look?
Ruan Nanzhu: Lets go.
Pretty much everyone could agree that they hadnt eaten a decent al since arriving to this world. Whenever they saw an appetizing dish before them, they wouldnt dare move their chopsticks. In fact, they practically lived off of dry, tasteless bread every day. As Ruan Nanzhu put it, one beca what they atethis dry bread was virtually sucking the life out of them; the more they ate this dry bread, the drier and more miserable they themselves beca.
When the two of them stepped out of their room, they spotted the others leaving their rooms as well. It appeared as though the other mbers also ca out because of the tempting aroma.
Whos cooking? Xu Xiaocheng gulped down her saliva. On one hand, she was starving to death, but on the other hand, she was terrified to death; her fear was holding her back, but her hunger and greed were urging her. It looks like soone is in the kitchen
Lets go take a look. Ruan Nanzhu suggested.
The group followed the enticing scent back into the repulsive kitchen that was supposed to be painted with thick blood. However, contrary to everyones expectations, that odious kitchen that was left in shambles, with strips of flesh, residues of ground tissue, and twisted limbs strewn across the blood-slathered floors, had undergone a total renovation; it was so immaculate that it gave them the impression that it was a brand-new kitchen instead. And at this very mont, there were two large pots on the stovetop, bubbling softly and exuding a rich aroma.
Lin Qiushi took a step forward, cautiously walked over to the pots, and took a peek inside, only to see a few pieces of at occasionally floating in the boiling stew. He then bowed his head and carefully examined the floor. Upon scrutinizing the area, he found that the blood, which was supposed to be difficult to remove, had basically vanished, only leaving behind traces of black stains.
This scene only reminded him of what happened after the pitiful Zeng Ruguo died.
Nothing. Lin Qiushi murmured. The corpse is gone.
The faint Xu Xiaocheng stamred, N-Not even a few hours have passed yetjust how could it beco so clean
This isnt the normal world. Ruan Nanzhu once again pointed out. You have to think unconventionally; you cant explain things here using common sense or any natural laws.
While they were standing in the kitchen talking to each other, the rest of the team ca up to them. Tang Yaoyao sighed in relief when she saw that the kitchen was spotless. She muttered under her breath, Fortunately, the kitchen is clean; otherwise, what are we supposed to eat for the next few days? She then sauntered over to Lin Qiushis side, gazed at the pot, and praised, It slls delicious.
Lin Qiushi let out a dry chuckle. It might sll delicious, but you also dont have the guts to eat it.
Tang Yaoyao was rendered speechless.
Zhong Chengjian was also within the crowd, and his ntal state was looking far from good. He constantly bumbled like an utter fool, spouting unintelligible things and issuing random noises. The jumbled words spilling out of his mouth were simply incoherent and nonsensical; only God knew what he was trying to say! It seed as though if soone were to poke him slightly and feed him a bit more stimulation, he would surely beco mad!
Then again, it wasnt easy to maintain ones sanity when trapped in a closed environnt, where everyone was forced to endure various unimaginable and bizarre conditions.
In just a couple of days, everyones faces had beco haggard and drawn. As the skies grew darker, the atmosphere beca increasingly heavy, until all that was left was sense of foreboding and apprehension for the dreadful night that was approaching once again.
None of them had eaten well, they hadnt slept well, and they even had to face the threat of ghosts. It just couldnt be any worse!
Too many things happened during the day, and now, everyone was weary and exhausted. The sa was true for Lin Qiushi. And so, he decided to wash up early and head back to his room to sleep. Upon finishing his business, he exited the bathroom and noticed Tang Yaoyao standing in one spot in the wons room. Lin Qiushi knitted his brows and wondered what in the world she was up to. After observing for a while, he eventually called out, Tang Yaoyao?
Huh? Whats up? Tang Yaoyao swiveled her head around at his voice.
Its rather late. Lin Qiushi pointed at the pitch-black night outside the window. Arent you going to go to bed?
In a bit. Tang Yaoyao replied. But I cant seem to wipe the blood off my body.
Lin Qiushi paused, What?
Raising her voice, Tang Yaoyao loudly repeated, I said I cant seem to wipe this blasted blood off my body!
It simply wouldnt disappear despite how hard one scrubbed it. Lin Qiushi instantly recalled what occurred the first day he arrived here, how Zeng Ruguo voiced sothing similar when he tried washing the blood off his body in the shower. Upon recollecting this, Lin Qiushi anxiously shouted, Dont try to wash it off anymore! Its late; just go back to your room as soon as possible!!!
Sensing the urgency and worry lacing Lin Qiushis voice, Tang Yaoyao imdiately paused; her hand froze in its place, and she no longer tried rubbing the blood off her arm. Alright. You head back first, Ill be right out.
Lin Qiushi stressed, Make it fast.
Mhm. Tang Yaoyao humd in reply.
In the Grimms fairy tale, Fitchers Bird, before the sorcerer would leave his ho and depart for his journey, he would always give the sisters an egg to keep safe. And as long as they opened the door to the taboo room, the egg they held in their hands would inevitably fall to the ground and be stained with blood, never to be wiped clean. And so, when the sorcerer returned ho, only to see the stains on the egg, he would make sure those sisters knew the consequences of their actions. He would subsequently butcher the sisters, hacking them to pieces, and toss their mangled corpses and flimsy limbs into the basent.
At long last, Lin Qiushi finally recognized the importance of the note he chanced upon in the first door. If he didnt know anything about this childrens fairy tale, he was afraid that hed be completely in the dark about this entire world and the circumstances surrounding it.
But now, the murky connection between the world of this door and that childrens fairy tale gradually floated above the waters surface, clearly reflecting the situation at hand.
Once Lin Qiushi noticed that the sound of rushing water ceased, aning that Tang Yaoyao had closed the faucet, he returned to his room. The first sight that greeted him when he walked into the room was a bored Ruan Nanzhu, lethargically spread out on the bed and casually playing puzzle gas on Lin Qiushis phone.
Lin Qiushi laid his body down right beside him and remarked, It looks like the blood on Tang Yaoyaos body cant be washed off.
Naturally, the blood staining the eggs cant be cleaned. Ruan Nanzhu didnt raise his head. Otherwise, whats the sorcerer supposed to look for once its clean? How would they able to find their marked targets without any sort of identification?
Lin Qiushi: Whos the sorcerer?
Ruan Nanzhu rely shook his head and didnt respond. Lin Qiushi narrowed his eyes; he simply couldnt figure out whether the other truly didnt know who the sorcerer was, or if he simply didnt want to reveal it.
Theres going to be another death tonight. Today, nearly all but three of them had been stained with blood. Lin Qiushi brooded over this, I just dont know who itll be
Ruan Nanzhu put down the cell phone in his hand. With his head cocked to one side, he stared thoughtfully at Lin Qiushi. You know, you truly are an interesting fellow.
Huh? Lin Qiushi blinked in perplexity.
Ruan Nanzhu clarified, I thought that you would try to find a way to save them. Ever since he had been in contact with Lin Qiushi, he ca to notice that Lin Qiushi possessed quite a soft heart; he was soone who was foolishly kind but who would show a serious side when it ca to lifeas it was evident that he attached great importance to life. And yet, when he knew that death was unavoidable and imminent, this big softie who valued life greatly would adopt an unperturbed and calm bearing.
Im not as smart as you are. If even you didnt manage to think of any way, what more can I do? Lin Qiushi yawned. Im rather tired. Ill be going to bed first.
Ruan Nanzhu bid the other good night, Good night.
Good night, whispered Lin Qiushi.
With his mind prepared and his heart steeled for the night to co, Lin Qiushi already expected to be awoken during his ti of sleep. And sure enough, it was as he had anticipated. At around three oclock in the morning, he was started awake, roused by a disturbing noise. The peculiar sound seed to be coming from afar, for it was barely audible.
Lin Qiushi tossed over to lay on his other side, only to catch sight of the tranquil face of Ruan Nanzhu who was sleeping peacefully next to him. He had to admit it. Ruan Nanzhu was undeniably stunning; he was truly as beautiful as a woman, if not even more so. As of this mont, the others thick, long lashes were gracefully fluttering with every soft breath he took, like a butterfly flittering gently in the wind.
The strange sound persisted. Lin Qiushi began mulling over whether he should wake Ruan Nanzhu up.
However, before he could decide on how to proceed, a wretched shriek echoed throughout the building. The one who cried out was undoubtedly Zhang Xinghuo. It was as if he had encountered sothing unspeakable terrifying, sothing woefully ghastly, because he continued screaming like a banshee until his vocal cords were on the verge of snapping.
The sound was so loud that even Ruan Nanzhu, the slumbering pig notorious for sleeping like the dead, woke up. As soon as his eyes flew open, he and Lin Qiushi, who was directly across from his line of sight, locked gazes. Lin Qiushi hadnt even opened his mouth to say sothing, before Ruan Nanzhu cut him off and bashfully squealed, How hateful! Too embarrassing! I cant believe you actually watched this one all night!
Lin Qiushi tried defending himself: N-No, thats not it. I didnt
Ruan Nanzhu: Well, its fine. It doesnt matter. I understand completely. I also know that Im so good-looking that I tend to unintentionally capture peoples eyes.
Lin Qiushi: Yeah yeah, just keep saying that. Go ahead and praise yourself to the heavens. As long as youre happy, whatever.
The blood-curdling screeches from outside didnt pause. Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu soon got dressed and turned on the lights. When the left the room, they saw a terror-stricken Zhang Xinghuo at the end of the corridor, still screaming in horror.
The others had also awoken from the noise; one after another, they ca over to see what the ruckus was all about.
Tang Yaoyao stomped to the others side and fiercely demanded, Stop yelling! Now tell us what the hell is going on!
Dead! Zhong Chengjian is dead!!! Zhang Xinghuo curled up into a ball and began rocking back and forth; he was obviously suffering from severe trauma. He cried out, He died in the room
Tang Yaoyao snapped, Is he the first person to have died? The issue here is, whats up with your reaction? Why in the world is a big man like you acting like a sissy and reacting in this exaggerated manner? Dont tell you thought hed still live after throwing that tantrum yesterday?
Zhong Chengjian had caused such a disturbance yesterday afternoon, so everyone knew that he wouldnt have long to live. But no one knew what exactly happened in the end; they couldnt fathom any situation that could provoke Zhang Xinghuo to this extent.
But the mont they stepped foot into the room where Zhang Xinghuo rood with Zhong Chengjian, they instantly understood why Zhang Xinghuo reacted as he did.
Because all that was left on the bed in the room was a flimsy sheetof human skin.
There were no bones. No flesh or tissues. No hair. The mans entire body had been hollowed out, and all that remained was his skin, silently resting atop the bed, inducing various negative emotions in all those who witnessed this sight.
Xu Xiaocheng couldnt endure any longer. She quickly turned her back to the scene and puked her guts out.
Tang Yaoyaos complexion had also turned ashen. Her body quivered in horror, and she retreated a few steps.
Only Ruan Nanzhus expression remained unchanged. He mumbled sothing under his breath.
Lin Qiushi was close to him, so he clearly heard the other mutter, Oh, it seems that the inside of his bodys been cleaned outhis skin truly is thin
Lin Qiushi: Youre really shaless, you know that? Are you happy with how thick your own skin is?
Wu wu, wu wu. I heard sothing in the middle of the night. When I turned on the light, I just saw him like thisdead! Zhang Xinghuo collapsed to the ground and began shivering uncontrollably. Sothing ca into our room. It killed Zhong Chengjian, and then left.
Lin Qiushi: Did it sound like a spoon scraping sothing?
Zhang Xinghuo was shocked. Y-yes! Exactly so! You heard it, too?!
Lin Qiushi: Mhm I heard it.
It was reasonable to say that Lin Qiushi and Zhang Xinghuos rooms werent at all close to each other. This faint noise shouldnt have been heard by the other, but not only had Lin Qiushi heard this indistinct sound, he actually heard it loud and clear!
No one could say for certain what Lin Qiushi was suggesting by affirming this, but Lin Qiushi might as well have not ntioned this, for his declaration only served to arouse feelings of disgust, horror, and bewildernt in the others. The expression on everyones faces beca increasingly ugly. What exactly did he an by it sounded like a spoon scraping sothing? It couldnt be that Zhong Chengjians insides were scraped out little by little with a re spoon, right?
Can you not describe it so detailed? Tang Yaoyao envisioned the scenario, and her body broke out into goosebumps. Attempting to suppress the bile threatening to force its way up, she swallowed hard; her throat nervously bobbed up and down. She anxiously licked her lips and hoarsely retorted, How do you know for sure that its a spoon, and not sothing else
Lin Qiushi shrugged, I dont know. Its just that the first thing I thought of was a spoon. He himself didnt know why he used such a taphor to describe the noise, but the instant his ears caught that sound, he simply associated it with another sound he was vaguely familiar with, and so the first image that popped to his mind was a spoon scraping sothing.
Its pretty funny that Yu Linlin happened to describe it like that. The blood had long drained from Zhang Xinghuos face. In fact, this is the first ti Ive heard sothing like that; however, now that he ntioned it, it definitely did sound like a spoon scraping sothing out As he spoke, violent trembles wracked his body once again. He swayed on his feet and looked as if hed fall unconscious to the ground at any given second.
Then again, if one thought about it, the person living with him had just died. His viscera and flesh were ticulously scooped out with a spoon, and all that remained was a gory peel of intact human skin. Just who would be able to maintain their composure after having witnessed a sight like this?
It was only natural that no one could fall back asleep after such an incident broke out. Everyone was wary, and pessimistic thoughts plagued their minds; they thought about how there was no safe place in this building.
Everyone returned to the living room and mutely sat themselves down on the sofa.
Ruan Nanzhu had incomparable guts. He gently set his head on Lin Qiushis shoulder, cuddling into the others side and making himself comfortable, then quietly dozed off.
Tang Yaoyao, who was sitting beside them and watching the entire spectacle unfold, rolled her eyes and scoffed. She bitterly derided, Zhu ng sure can sleep, huh? Isnt your shoulder sore, Yu Linlin?
Im fine. It isnt sore. Lin Qiushi replied. Zhu ng really can sleep though, sleeps pretty well, in fact.
Hehe, well would you look at that. How cute. You two are really sothing. Tang Yaoyao said. To think you two can even fall in love in a place like this
Lin Qiushi didnt respond. How could he just say that the gorgeous princess resting on his shoulder was, in actuality, a big gentleman who was even manlier than him, ah! And even if he did say it, who in the world would believe it?! Only God knows why Ruan Nanzhu ended up being the most beautiful girl inside the door worlds.
They endured and endured, forcing their blood-shot eyes open in spite of their exhaustion, until the break of dawn.
At long last, Zhang Xinghuo broke free from his distressing fear. He announced with a wry smile that he was extrely hungry and wanted to eat sothing.
Theres only dry bread. Tang Yaoyao told him. Unless you happen to be interested in that stuff inside the fridge?
Zhang Xinghuo shook his head, indicating he certainly wasnt interested. The bag filled with the little girls chopped-up corpse and limbs had been stuffed inside that fridge a while back. They couldnt imagine anyone who would eat that, much less anyone who would even think about eating it.
Soone had already died today, so everyone assud that the conditions of the door world would be rendered void as of this mont. But who wouldve imagined that the group of individuals werent even gathered together for more than half an hour, before they all surrendered to sleep without any warning.
It wasnt until the dawn of the next day that everyone awoke.
Lin Qiushi was the first to wake up. He opened his eyes and saw everyone collapsed on the sofa. Xu Xiaocheng and Tang Yaoyao were leaning against each other, and Zhang Xinghuo was huddled into a ball where he slept. Ruan Nanzhus arms were wrapped around Lin Qiushis neck and waist, so naturally, Lin Qiushis entire body was drawn into the others embrace, nestled tightly against the others chest.
Ruan Nanzhu eventually woke up when Lin Qiushi moved. He opened his eyes in a daze, and still feeling a bit muddled-headed, he wondered, Its morning?
Yeah. Lin Qiushi grunted. We all fell asleep. Thats too dangerous
What too dangerous? Ruan Nanzhu dismissed indifferently. We couldve died if we had slept in that coffin-like room, too. Besides the King of Hell swears by a three-hour shift, from eleven oclock in the night to one oclock in the morning. Its already a pain in the ass for him to be trying to drag people to hell during those three hours, so imagine how much of a struggle it would be for him to try to work on a five hour shift instead; hed probably die at that rate.
As if thats true. Lin Qiushis face revealed helplessness.
The twos hushed discussion eventually woke the others from their sleep, as well. Xu Xiaocheng had reacted similarly to Lin Qiushi the second she opened her eyes. Like Lin Qiushi, she thought that it was way too risky and dangerous to have fallen asleep while sitting on the sofa together.
Is there anything to eat? Just as he did yesterday, Zhang Xinghuo began to clamor that he was starving; the very first thing that ca out of his mouth the mont he woke up had to do with his hunger and how he wanted to eat.
Ill go to the kitchen and check things out. Tang Yaoyao heaved herself up off the couch and headed towards the kitchen. After a while, her voice ca from inside the kitchen, How about you guys co in here and have a look as well, yes?
Lin Qiushi thought that there was sothing strange about the way she spoke. Nevertheless, when he entered the kitchen, he finally realized why her tone when she called out to them was so strange.
Because on top of the wood board inside the kitchen was a freshly-prepared al, seeming intended for those hoping to eat breakfast. Light porridge, baked bread that was hot out of the oven, and boiled eggs for everyone present. These dishes might not be anything fancy in the real world; in fact, one might as well say these dishes were remarkably simple. However, for those who have not eaten well for the past few days, these dishes were more than tempting and could even be considered delicacies.
Who made this? asked Lin Qiushi.
Ive no idea. Tang Yaoyao replied, just as clueless. It was already prepared when I walked in. Wait, Zhang Xinghuo, what in the world are you rushing
As they were chatting between themselves, Zhang Xinghuo had already made a beeline for the bowl. Without any hesitation, he clasped the bowl in his hands, brought it to his lips, and slurped on it noisily. When he finally downed the entire bowl, he brusquely wiped his mouth and responded, Im so hungry. I dont want to wait any longer.
It should be fine. In any case, Im hungry, as well. Ruan Nanzhu examined the al and saw no problems with it. Lets eat.
Ruan Nanzhu had pretty much beco the main pillar of the team. So, when he declared the dishes were safe to eat, no one hesitated to pick up their chopsticks and dig into the al before them.
Truthfully speaking, Lin Qiushi was also quite hungry. He inhaled a large piece of bread and three bowls of porridge in just one breath, but he never touched the boiled eggs, as he couldnt seem to jump over that hurdle.
On the contrary, there seed to be nothing that could stop Ruan Nanzhu from feasting; it was like a switch inside him had flipped. Bite after bite, he devoured the eggs, and before one knew it, he had already swallowed three in one shot. Afterwards, he gracefully wiped his mouth and expressed that he was full.
At last, their hunger had been satiated. Satisfaction and lethargy colored everyones faces a healthy shade.
That was so good. Im so full. Xu Xiaocheng stroked her bulging belly and giggled ecstatically, Ah, Im so happy! I havent eaten so much in such a long ti. Though I wonderwho made this al?
Well, whoever did it, did it. Tang Yaoyao continued, Luckily, because of this person, we ended up eating so much that She wanted to say that they managed to solve their hunger, as they were now full, but just then, the sentence she uttered died at her lips; her words abruptly got caught in her throat, and she involuntarily swallowed whatever she was going to say back down.
Because a figure slowly erged in front of the crowd. It was a woman donning an apron, with tousled curls loosely scattered and cascading past her shoulders. Her features were quite ordinary, nothing overly special, but the kind smile on her face was striking. She noticed the group before her gape at her with looks of horror on their faces, but she rely turned her head, flashed them a wide grin, showing off her bright pearly whites, and chuckled softly, Oh my, what are you all looking at like that for? Go on, eat. I cooked this specifically for you all. How is it? Is it tasty?
Xu Xiaocheng covered her mouth and bolted for the bathroom.
A grave, deathly silence hung in the atmosphere. Everyone held their breaths as they stared at the womanjust yesterday, the mother of the triplets had been hacked to death by Zhong Chengjian, yet as of this very mont, the woman who had been t with an unimaginably tragic death, where all her internal organs were spilling from the gaping holes in her body and her limbs were ripped apart to the extent that they could never be attached again, was standing right before them, seamlessly intact and uninjured; if that wasnt all, she even exposed a gentle smile as she sincerely asked them if the breakfast they ate was delicious.
Its no wonder Xu Xiaocheng imdiately dashed for the toilet and spewed the al shed just gorged herself on.
Whats the matter? Does it not suit your tastes? The woman couldnt seem to comprehend why the others were gawking at her that way, and she continued pestering them with questions.
It was delicious. Ruan Nanhzu was the first to finally open his mouth and speak. Thank you for the al.
Im glad you enjoyed the al. The woman smiled sweetly, her eyes curving into crescents. The children at ho are such picky eaters, unlike you all, they only eat what they like. Once she finished saying this, she turned on her heels, and tittering gleefully, she exited the area, leaving behind a room full of individuals whose twisted expression looked as if theyd just been fed dog shit.
Lin Qiushi was quite calm, but Tang Yaoyao had begun spitting out the most unpleasant string of curse words. Judging from her unsettled and discomfited appearance, it was obvious that she was utterly repulsed by what she had just eaten.
Furthermore, this person had been brutally torn apart yesterday, but today, that sa person had managed to prepare scrumptious als for them. Naturally, everyone believed that the breakfast they just ate was a big deal, and not in a good way; it was one of the biggest problems theyd faced yet. Everyones initial reaction was to regurgitate what theyd just eaten, but unfortunately, they couldnt do so; yet, at the sa ti, they couldnt even swallow it all the way down, causing the food to be lodged in the most uncomfortable spots in their throats, where they couldnt spit it out or force it down.
Although the woman was faced with apprehensive and hostile gazes, she did not seem to mind. She slowly ambled back into the kitchen and asked, What would you all like to eat at noon? There is quite a lot of at inside the refrigerator She picked up the knife and tenderly caressed the blade for a mont. She then paused and continued, I can cook you all even tastier food.
The knife in her hand was the sa one Zhong Chengjian had used to attack her that day. At a closer look, one could see a few specks of black running along the blade.
No one breathed a sound, and they cautiously backed out of the kitchen.
Xu Xiaocheng soon returned to the living room where the rest of the group was seated. Her face was white, her lips colorless, and she seed seconds away from fainting. Sitting on the sofa, she gasped for air and bawled lodramatically, I cant I cant do this anymore! Just kill already
You shouldve gotten used to this by now. Ruan Nanzhu unsympathetically said. Just how many tis have you vomited these days, ah? You vomited even more than a pregnant woman would.
Upon hearing his words, Xu Xiaocheng began sobbing even harder.
How is she alive? Tang Yaoyao just couldnt wrap her mind around this. Does this an shes a ghost now?
She certainly isnt human; however, she also isnt a ghost. Ruan Nanzhu answered. He then supposed, Perhaps shes an indispensable NPC. It could be that shes particularly vital to this world; therefore, if she dies, shell only revive later on?
Tang Yaoyao gave a curt nod, Your hypothesis is quite novel.
But there is another issue now. Ruan Nanzhu continued. Does she still retain mories of her death whenever she is resurrected?
Tang Yaoyao: Im guessing no? If thats not the case, how can she act so nice in front of us?
Ruan Nanzhu: Maybe because the murder is already gone?
Tang Yaoyao pursed her lips.
There was indeed one less amongst them, and that was Zhong Chengjian, the one who had slaughtered the woman. Fortunately, Zhong Chengjian was long gone; otherwise, if he were to witness the womans resurrection, according to his state of mind, he would surely charge at the woman with the knife again and kill her for a second ti.
On the brighter side, at least soone will help make breakfast for us now. Ruan Nanzhu said. I dont want to eat that dry bread anymore.
You dare eat what she cooks? Tang Yaoyao openly expressed her disapproval of Ruan Nanzhus audacious behavior.
Didnt you also eat today? Ruan Nanzhu rcilessly exposed the cold truth as it was. In fact, you even ate more than I did. Everyone here ate.
Tang Yaoyao:
Sitting right next to him, Xu Xiaocheng feebly raised her hand. I technically didnt eat anything though. I threw all of it up.
The others: Well, look at you! Now arent you an amazing one!
Authors Comnt:
Ruan Nanzhu: I love eating eggs so much.
Lin Qiushi: Why do you always like to stare at whenever youre eating eggs?
Ruan Nanzhu: Were all eggs right now! *wink*
Lin Qiushi: You You just Quit it!
Ive been plagiarized again; I truly hope to encounter this less in the future, as it honestly affects my mood. _(:)_
