Chapter 7: Night, Horror
It is said that the empty room in the village chief's house was originally for the village chief's son, but when the son went to school in the city, the village chief added a bed to it and converted it into a guest room.
The autumn night was cool, and as soon as the wind blew, the wooden window of the room creaked, Yu Xing simply closed the window and turned around and sat on the bed.
As soon as he told Carlos the clue and got what he wanted, the magician, who had a bit of an odd action, left.
He was able to go back to his room to rest.
The room was simply furnished, there was basically nothing suspicious, and he completed it after a random investigation, and there was really nothing to do.
His gaze shifted to his backpack next to the bed.
At this moment, the door was opened, and Xiao Xuechen walked in with a little restraint, and through the dim moonlight from the windowpane, Xiao Xuechen could see the outline of Yu Xing's figure.
Although they have explored the ancestral hall together and are familiar with each other, she is a girl after all, and it is a little uncomfortable to sleep in a room with a man, so she hesitated in place for a while, and walked over: "San." β
"Huh?" Yu Xing was sorting out his backpack, and for the first time since he entered the game, he was looking through what was in his bag.
In addition to easels and other drawing tools, there are also notebooks, water, some simple snacks and the like, especially at the bottom of the backpack, a touch of metal cold light is faintly revealed.
Is it a dagger?
Yu Xing grabbed the handle and pulled it out.
Sure enough, it was a dagger, although it was only an ordinary material, but the blade was very sharp, and a casual scratch on the skin would hurt it.
He searched in his memory, and the dagger should have been bought in the small town next to Guanjia Village after he got off the plane.
"I have already reminded Wei Gong just now," Xiao Xuechen saw that Yu Xing seemed to have put something under the pillow, and didn't ask much, "Ju Lan was also there at the time, and Wei Gong said that he would go and inform Xu Hong and Xu Yuan and let them be careful at night." β
"How are their rooms allocated?" Yu Xing didn't pay much attention to this.
"Ju Lan and Carlos live together, and Wei Gong lives with those two brothers, but when I went, those two brothers were still outside and didn't return to the room." After saying a few words, Xiao Xuechen gradually relaxed, she also packed up her things, and asked by the way, "If we can't let people in tonight, and we can't go out, then do you want to move something to block the door?" β
Yu Xing shook his head slightly: "No, just pull the door latch down, we'd better not move all the arrangements in this room." β
"Oh, listen to you." Although he didn't know why, Xiao Xuechen decided to listen to the big guy.
The two of them rubbed against each other for a while, and then they went to bed separately.
Yu Xing's bed was against the window, the bed board was very hard, wooden, not well maintained, and there were traces of insects on both sides.
He observed for a moment, then pressed the pillow with his hand, and then touched the bottom of the pillow, and his dagger was placed underneath, and he could pull it out as soon as he stretched out his hand.
Confirming this, Yu Xing closed his eyes, covered himself with a cold quilt, and found a comfortable position to sleep with confidence.
It was a little early to go to bed around half past nine, but for Yu Xing, as long as he was sleepy, it was a good time to sleep anytime and anywhere.
What's more, he probably couldn't sleep well after midnight, so he could only take this opportunity to nourish his spirit first, otherwise his body would not be able to hold on.
Xiao Xuechen fiddled with the phone for a while, turned his head and saw that the guy across the aisle had fallen asleep on his side, and in the silence, he could vaguely hear the other party breathing steadily, and his clothes were not taken off.
With nothing to do, she stared at Yu Xing for a moment, half-dazed, half-appreciative, before taking off her T-shirt and covering it with a quilt.
Originally, she was still muttering, San was sleeping too fast, and it seemed that she didn't worry about what would happen at night, but she didn't expect that maybe she was infected by people in the same room, and she quickly became sleepy.
β¦β¦
"Knock knock."
Who is it?
Yu Xing heard a sound in a daze, frowned slightly, and turned over.
"Knock knock knock."
Which little king and eight lambs dare to make him sleep?
He unconsciously buried half of his face in the pillow, but unfortunately, this could not be separated from the constant noise.
The slender fingers with distinct bones groped around the pillow for a while, and soon touched a cold object, and in an instant, Yu Xing's eyes opened, and in just a second, he faded into a daze, remembering his current situation.
Well, he's in a deduction game......
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The knock on the door exploded in my ears, and I have to say that the force of the person who knocked on the door was rushing to wake up the sleeping people.
"San, are you awake?" On the other side, there was the voice of Xiao Xuechen speaking softly in her throat, Yu Xing turned over and sat up with a "um" sound, only to see that she probably woke up a little earlier than him, her curly hair was very compliant, and she was putting one leg on the ground, with vigilance between her eyebrows.
Reaching out and grabbing two handfuls of hair on his head, Yu Xing yawned, opened his phone and looked at the time.
0.03.
Sure enough, I came at the point, and I was really diligent.
He looked coldly at the slightly vibrating door, his voice was hoarse because he had just woken up, and he raised his voice and asked lazily, "Who?" βγ
Xiao Xuechen held his breath for a moment, waiting for a reply from outside.
The knock on the door stopped abruptly.
In the panicked silence, Yu Xing stretched: "If there is no one, let's go back to sleep, if there is something to say during the day, I'm so sleepy~"
"I'm looking for that little girl......" Hearing him say this, an answer finally came from outside, and a layer of goosebumps suddenly rose on Xiao Xuechen's arm, and sure enough, it was the woman's voice!
What's the matter, you still specifically said to come to me, do you really pinch me as a soft persimmon?
She snorted coldly, not to be outdone, and the tone in which she spoke was very polite, so that people couldn't find mistakes: "Auntie, what's the matter with you?" It's so late, the young people are going to sleep, so you should rest early and pay attention to your body. β
Yu Xing chuckled.
"Little girl, it's cold, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold, I want to change the bed for you and the thick quilt, I've already brought the quilt for you, you open the door." The woman's voice was kind, but when they already knew something, it was terrible to hear.
"No need Auntie, I'm not cold, I'm sleepy, you go back, the thick quilt is still your own use, I want to sleep." When Xiao Xuechen heard that the woman didn't seem to be able to break in, she was even more confident.
The people outside the door of "......" seemed to be silent for a moment.
"Little girl, if you live with a boy, it's better to cover it with a thicker quilt." After a few seconds, the woman continued her efforts.
Yu Xing: ?
What do you mean?
He was not happy about this, he rolled over and got out of bed, put on his shoes, and whispered to Xiao Xuechen, "What are you going to do?" Walking to the door, the woman was still persuading: "Also, young man, think about it, it's not good to let your female companion catch a cold, or you can open the door......
"Knock knock." Yu Xing curled his knuckles and knocked twice on the wooden door.
The sound of something outside the door was interrupted.
He smiled: "Auntie, you better go back to sleep, it's so inconvenient to come in in the middle of the night, I'm used to sleeping without clothes." β
Xiao Xuechen: ?
Something out there:?
How did you get to the door without clothes?
Xiao Xuechen looked at Yu Xing, who opened his eyes and said nonsense, and actually wanted to laugh inexplicably in this atmosphere, so he also got out of bed and came to Yu Xing's side.
When the woman heard this, she naturally didn't believe it, but she also guessed from the attitude of the two that these two people might already know something.
Her voice suddenly became gloomy: "Open the door for me!" β
As her voice fell, the door began to be forcibly opened, but fortunately, the latch was locked, and the door was only opened by a small crack, and it was difficult to expand again.
Yu Xing took the opportunity to look outside.
It was pitch black outside the door, and it looked like the woman hadn't lit a candle.
He quickly turned on the light of his mobile phone and shone it directly into the crack.
The crack in the door was so small that he narrowed his eyes and could barely see the silhouette of a woman.
The next moment, an eye suddenly came to me, widening wide, as if peering into the room with all his might.
"Damn." Xiao Xuechen, who was also paying attention to the crack in the door, was startled and instinctively took a step back, but as soon as the cold light flashed in front of her eyes, she saw a dagger stabbing towards the crack at a speed that was difficult for her naked eyes to catch.
She looked up along this hand, the dark light in Yu Xing's dark eyes flowed, and there was a trace of cold light in the dark environment, and the slightly upturned eyes carried an indescribable smile, together with the indifferent corners of her lips, it seemed ...... Pleasure? Or immersion?
It's like a psychopathic killer has found her prey and is thinking about something she doesn't want to think about.
This expression made her stunned for a moment, and the instantly changed temperament made her, a friendly unit, feel a chill swept from behind, and the cold hair stood up, as if in the next second, she would also be cut into pieces with a dagger by the person in front of her while laughing!
This person...... It's dangerous......
What woke her up was a scream from something outside the door, with the sound of the dagger cutting into the flesh, Xiao Xuechen shuddered, and also saw the broken eye retreat, Yu Xing held the dagger and pulled it back, the door crack "Peng" closed, and then ......
"There was no blood, and sure enough, it should be a corpse." San's voice was obviously the same as before, but Xiao Xuechen felt like a demon whispering.
No way, the close-up sensation at that moment just now left too deep an impression on her.
"Huh?" Sensing that the little royal sister's expression was wrong, Yu Xing glanced over.
"No, it's fine." He's a teammate, he's a big guy, he's a good guy...... Xiao Xuechen muttered in his heart.
The next moment, Yu Xing realized what she was thinking.
"Haha, young lady, don't be afraid, I'm kind~" He bent down slightly, put the dagger back, and showed a harmless smile, like a bright light in the dark, which washed away the hazy temperament on his body at once.
Xiao Xuechen covered her eyes.
Never mind...... Just as if he didn't see anything, yes, he was kind!
"Peng!"
There was another loud bang, causing the two men who had just finished the door to look towards the source of the sound.
It's the windows.
Outside the window, the village chief stood there at some point, his square face was floating into a twisted smile, and he stretched out his hand and pushed open the unlocked window frame.
"Oops!" Xiao Xuechen exclaimed, and was about to rush up to close the window, of course Yu Xing was faster than her, and stepped over a few steps, but before he touched the window, the village chief sneered, and the figure disappeared into the darkness.
Let's go? Yu's gut feeling is not so simple.
He stretched out his hand and was about to close the window again, when he heard a familiar female voice with urgency and fear coming from far and near: "Don't close! Help me! Let me in! β
The girl's figure ran from the other side of the house, and her lovely face was distorted with horror in the dim moonlight.
It's Ju Lan.
Xiao Xuechen's eyes widened slightly, and a thought popped up in her heart: Why did she go out?
Seeing that the girl was about to pounce and enter their room through the window, Yu Xing quickly and ruthlessly closed the window.
"Don't!!" Ju Lan screamed bitterly, and knocked the window, "Let me in, let me in!" β
"Didn't you live with Carlos? You're out, what about others? Xiao Xuechen remembered something and asked.
"When I woke up, he wasn't in the room, he had a paper figure on his bed, I didn't know where he was! Please, let me in, there's a ghost, there's a ghostβ"
With Ju Lan's words, behind her, two slender figures slowly emerged.
That's two villagers.
Two villagers, one with an ax and the other with a firewood knife.
Ju Lan glanced back, turned her head in despair, tears flowing from her eyes: "Please...... Xu Yuan, they won't let me in, only you are here......"
Yu Xing put his hand against the window, and when he heard the words, he turned his head to look at Xiao Xuechen.
"What do you think, do you want to open it?"
The right to decide was suddenly thrown to him by Yu Xing, Xiao Xuechen was stunned for a moment, and then, with a key perception, realized that this was Yu Xing testing himself.
She didn't know what kind of feedback her answer would get from Yu Xing, she only knew what the right option was as a deducer.
She closed her eyes, and her tone was full of unbearability:
"Can't be opened."
Ju Lan's expression suddenly cracked, and a bitter hatred rose in his eyes.
