"Village head?"
Pu Sang shouted, but no one responded.
She exchanged puzzled glances with the others, then raised her voice and shouted, " Shuishui! Qianqian! Grandma!"
It remained quiet.
"Where is everyone...?" Pu Sang shouted, panting with his hands on his hips. He turned around and saw that everyone had already gone to Li Ta's door.
She suddenly felt a chill run through her body, shivered, and followed.
[Oh my god! They're all gone...]
I was just trying to take a nap while they were chatting, but it's still so exciting!!
" Li Ta is missing." Si Yan was the first to enter, said in a deep voice, turning around to let them in.
The bed was clean and tidy, showing no signs of having been slept on.
" Li Ta vomited a lot of blood in this room yesterday. Even if the blankets and pillows can be changed, the bloodstains on the floor are far too clean..."
Zhou Yize couldn't believe it. He stepped on the floor under the headboard. The country house was made of wooden bricks, which would clean up quickly once they got stained.
Wu Chou immediately went out, saying, "I'll go check the other rooms."
Since entering, Jiang Nuo's eyes had been constantly scanning his surroundings, and his brows were furrowing more and more tightly.
A moment later, he pursed his lips, finally lowered the hand that had been touching his left eyelid, and hurried towards the door of that mysterious room.
I pushed open the pregnant woman's door again.
It was still dilapidated inside, but something was different.
The baby skull vase, which Jiang Nuo smashed yesterday, has reappeared in the cabinet today.
Si Yan stood outside the cabinet door, facing the baby skull bottle. He lowered his voice, pointed his thumb at the baby's forehead, and squinted to look.
"Different angles."
He pointed to the door, "When we came in yesterday, the baby's eyes were facing the doorway."
"Today..."
Si Yan gestured again, then looked around and stopped below the window.
Jiang Nuo went over and knocked on it. "They're all solid; there are no hidden compartments."
Si Yan slightly dejected voice came from behind, "Then I guessed wrong. The strangeness of the room has nothing to do with the angle."
Jiang Nuo remained crouched in the corner. Upon hearing this, she turned around and glanced at him, then her gaze froze, her eyes widening. "There!"
" Si Yan, squat down."
Opposite the corner where the baby was looking, at the bottom of the cabinet where the baby skull vase was, lay a woman's corpse.
Jiang Nuo was crouching at an angle that put him directly in eye contact with the female corpse.
The female corpse's eyes were wide open, her cheeks were mostly rotten, and her head was stuck under the cabinet, staring fiercely outside.
[Oh my god! Honeybee, don't fly over and slap me! Don't get so close to my face!]
That sudden eye contact scared me to death...
The two men put on gloves and dragged the body out.
Just then, the group of guests who had finished looking at the other rooms arrived, and Wu Chou's deep voice announced, "All the rooms are empty."
The crowd gathered around the corpse to examine it.
Jiang Nuo seemed to be deep in thought, pressing her finger against the corpse's abdomen. Underneath the abnormally wide clothes, there was indeed nothing there.
"She's the pregnant woman I met that day," Jiang Nuo said.
Zhou Yize was puzzled again, "If it was given to a lonely ghost as a wife, why was it suddenly brought home?"
Jiang Nuo suddenly turned her head, a slow smile playing on her lips, "How do you know she didn't walk back by herself?"
Zhou Yize: "...!"
Lin Yu stroked the inside of his arm, his voice low and somber, "Burn this corpse, and it'll all be over."
Jiang Nuo clapped three times symbolically, then gestured for him to join in. "You're absolutely right, thank you for your trouble."
Si Yan took the vase down and, just like Jiang Nuo did yesterday, grabbed it and smashed it on the ground.
With a shattering sound, the skull remained broken into pieces.
But unlike yesterday, there were no red stones or black snakes.
Si Yan was somewhat suspicious and puzzled, but there were too many people present, so she didn't say anything, only exchanging a glance with Jiang Nuo.
Jiang Nuo thought for a moment, glanced at the shattered skull on the ground, then looked at the corpse, and suddenly pulled out a dagger. To the astonishment of the guests, the dagger plunged straight into the corpse's head.
With a flick of his wrist, the blade plunged deeper, even twisting as if searching for something.
"No, did I guess wrong?" Jiang Nuo muttered to herself, still unwilling to give up, and prepared to stab herself in the chest again.
[Can anyone help me figure this out...? I had tofu pudding for breakfast ^_^]
[Aa ...
I'm speechless... She's already suffered enough; even in death, her body can't rest in peace, and she has to be tortured like this... I wouldn't blame her even if she became a ghost.
"My God, you're not worried about the living guests, but worried about a corpse that might provide clues? What kind of new-age cyberpunk saint are you?"
"Here."
Jiang Nuo's arm was grabbed by Si Yan, "In the corpse's palm."
He tossed aside the dagger, took out a red stone from his tightly clenched hand, and then took the one he had given to Si Yan.
"What... is this?" Jiang Nuo murmured.
The surface is rough to the touch and opaque; apart from being redder than blood, it is no different from an ordinary stone.
Lin Yu, as if watching a good show, crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, his back foot braced against the wall. "Try it with your blood."
"Maybe it'll work once it's absorbed enough blood."
Jiang Nuo slowly stood up, patted her already dirty pants, and looked up at him. "Is that so?"
"Since you've put it that way..."
The next second, he teleported.
Jiang Nuo appeared before Lin Yu with a smile on her lips, a hidden blade in her palm, her Spiritual Power firmly gripping his neck.
Lin Yu's first reaction was to resist, but he forced himself to suppress it, constantly reminding himself that he couldn't expose his identity so quickly.
He was forced to tilt his head back like an ordinary person, his body stiff, gritting his teeth, "Are you deaf? I said I want your own blood!"
Jiang Nuo gave an "oh" and, without any hesitation, cut open his palm and let the blood flow onto the stone; the blade drew blood immediately upon slicing through his palm.
"No, I won't use mine."
[Idiot!! What is Jiang Nuo doing?!]
" Jiang Nuo, are you crazy?! Why would you cut off an ordinary person's hand??? Didn't you boast about being full of Spiritual Power?!"
But no one in the room objected, hoping the two stones would be of any use.
"Let go!" Lin Yu glared angrily, as if he would retaliate at any moment.
"Why are you being so fierce? Didn't you say you wanted blood to be drawn?"
Jiang Nuo showed no remorse, smiled brightly, and said, "You're a good person."
Lin Yu: "... Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell!"
Once the blood had soaked into the stone, he held it in his hand, playing with it, ready to witness some miracle.
"Snake!"
Pu Sang suddenly exclaimed in surprise and quickly moved aside.
A black snake, moving as fast as a shadow, darted in through the window.
The snake's forked tongue is extremely long and hisses.
Jiang Nuo saw it heading straight for him and threw two blood-stained stones at it.
The black snake leaped up and swallowed the two stones whole.
All the guests clearly felt a fluctuation in the air.
