Looking at the pale female corpse in the bathtub.
Chris and the others were starting to believe Li Dan's story about cannibals, but still held out hope it might have been murder?
Now everyone shared a common thought: leave the cabin and get back to the road, lest they be targeted by the killer.
But as soon as they ran out the door, the roar of an engine grew from far to near.
Chris and the others had no choice but to run back into the cabin. Chris had already checked the back door and found it blocked.
Everyone had to find a place to hide.
Li Dan crawled under the bed directly opposite the entrance, and Jessie followed closely behind. Seeing Li Dan's swiftness, the couple quickly hid under the bed near the door. Chris ran into the inner room.
The cabin was terrifyingly quiet.
Immediately, the main door was violently pushed open with a creaking and crashing sound.
Three Deformed Persons walked in, one after another.
The most muscular one was carrying a woman wrapped in barbed wire, who had already stopped breathing. He casually threw her onto the ground.
She landed right in front of the two, her eyes wide open and unseeing, as if staring at them.
Li Dan, lying on the ground, gripped his long spike, and a Ghost Card appeared in his hand. "Detected Contained Entity: Deformed Person."
If there was any doubt before whether this was truly a Wrong Turn, now it was confirmed.
Seeing her friend's corpse, Jessie was so terrified she didn't dare to breathe, clinging tightly to Li Dan. Her soft chest pressed firmly against his back, spreading out like cotton.
Soon, the woman was lifted onto the dining table like a dead pig and dismembered. The deformed person sawed off her left arm and right leg. Blood stained the tabletop red again, flowing down the table legs and the corpse.
The three Deformed Persons began to feast.
Only now did Chris and the others truly believe in the existence of cannibals, and it was too late for regrets.
Time ticked by.
Li Dan's nerves were constantly on edge. Even with a warm, soft body pressed against him, he felt nothing.
Time continued until the afternoon.
Hearing the snoring, Li Dan realized an opportunity had arrived. He signaled Scott and Carly opposite him, preparing to crawl out from under the bed.
Just as he was about to move, Jessie, behind him, grabbed Li Dan's hand and shook her head. Only when Scott emerged did she let go.
After carefully crawling out.
Li Dan glanced at the sleeping Deformed Person on the bed. Their appearance could only be described as disgusting: sparse hair, twisted and ugly features, no eyebrows, and clothes covered in filth and reeking of stench.
A name fitting the creature.
Li Dan gripped his long spike, and at the same time, signaled Jessie to give the knife to Scott, then pointed at the Deformed Person.
Scott looked at the Deformed Person, swallowed, and shook his head. He didn't dare.
Chris also quietly opened the door and came out at this time. He gestured, indicating that everyone should go out first to discuss.
This decision was unanimously agreed upon by Jessie and the others.
But Li Dan didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. He had already tried to contain the sleeping Deformed Person with a Three of Hearts, but it was completely ineffective.
So, he had to try another method. Perhaps the corpse could also be a contained entity?
Looking at the Deformed Person on the bed, still asleep with one hand resting on a shotgun, he directly drew his pistol and aimed at its forehead.
At this moment, Chris quietly opened the door. He wanted to stop him because if they woke the Deformed Person, they would surely be in danger, but it was too late.
BANG BANG BANG!
Three loud gunshots.
Li Dan fired three more shots at its head. If it still wasn't dead after this, he was out of options. He picked up the machete again, the sharp blade slicing through.
The Deformed Person's wrist was severed.
A heart-wrenching scream rang out.
The entire process took less than three seconds.
The remaining two Deformed Persons woke up with startled yells.
Only then did everyone snap back to reality and run wildly outwards, heading up the mountain along a fallen tree. Gunshots echoed behind them.
But they had already run far, and coupled with the Deformed Persons' terrible aim, no one was hit.
The short Deformed Person stared intently at the group running up the mountain, letting out strange cries. Another Deformed Person was responsible for driving.
After reaching the mountaintop.
The group's soaring adrenaline slowly subsided.
Chris, panting, looked at Li Dan with disbelief.
"Dude, have you always been this brutal?"
"I had some professional training before. If they don't die, we die," Li Dan panted. When the blood splattered on his clothes earlier, he had nearly thrown up.
At this moment, Carly couldn't walk anymore. Crying, she said, if she heard correctly, it was the woman who had just been dismembered.
This was a typical case of a "pig teammate."
Jessie and Chris ran back to comfort Carly.
Taking advantage of this time.
Gradually, Li Dan stopped.
Jessie looked at the stopped Li Dan and anxiously asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Dan made a decision that seemed somewhat crazy: "I need to go back."
"Shit, brother, are you crazy? Didn't you see how brutal those ogres were?" Chris couldn't hold back his reaction. It was one thing for the couple to cry, but for the main combat power of the team to want to go back and die was another.
Jessie grabbed Li Dan's hand and pleaded, "No, come with us. It's too dangerous for you to go back alone."
Li Dan shook his head. He was sure he wasn't courting death.
When they ran out, those Deformed People had also chased after them in cars. Rather than fleeing aimlessly, it was better to go back and fight for it. The most dangerous place might be the safest place right now.
Besides, the handgun had an extended magazine, so they wouldn't be so passive if they encountered Deformed People. As long as he was careful, nothing would happen.
He hadn't lied when he said he had participated in some firearms training after learning about the Ghost Nun's existence. It was to prevent accidents and to give himself some psychological comfort.
The most crucial thing was that he had to figure out the true purpose of the Ghost Card.
"Then I'll go back with you," Jessie seemed determined to stay with Li Dan, feeling a sense of security only by his side.
"No, you stay here. I'll go back and check alone." Li Dan and the others hadn't run very far, so there was no need for two people to go back.
If he found any Deformed People, he wouldn't fight them head-on but would escape immediately.
After separating.
Soon, Li Dan returned to the wooden house and cautiously peered through the crack in the door.
A Deformed Person was lying on the bed, holding a hunting rifle. Its forehead was simply bandaged, and it was barely breathing. It wasn't dead yet?
Three shots to the forehead didn't kill it. He couldn't have missed, could he?
After observing the surroundings again.
Confirming that there was only one Deformed Person in the house, Li Dan burst in, snatched the hunting rifle from the Deformed Person, who was almost in a vegetative state, and took out the Two of Hearts.
A line of text appeared on the Ghost Card.
"Name: Deformed Person"
"Status: Near death, restricted, containable"
Containable only when near death and restricted? Li Dan leaned more towards the latter, being restricted.
Containment. Li Dan had no hesitation. With a thought, the Two of Hearts automatically inserted itself into the Deformed Person's forehead, sucking the entire being into the black card.
The card's surface was no longer blank but was occupied by a lifelike, ugly Deformed Person.
It seemed that Mutated Ogres could only be at the bottom of the hierarchy within the Ghost Card.
