Where did the nun's body go?

Or was what Qiu Xuan saw in the bathroom at that time really the "real" nun?

At this point, she herself was a little unsure.

"I'll go out and have a look." Qiu Xuan stood up and passed Ya, who raised his hand slightly and made a blocking motion. "Now that the situation is undecided, we can't act so rashly, lest we startle the snake."

Qiu Xuan had to admit that what Ya said was right. In the current situation, only she knows what happened in the bathroom at that time, so if the nun was really just a fantasy that she saw at that time, then the real nun would definitely make full use of the innate advantage of the enemy and the enemy at this moment, and stand still for the time being.

She thought for a while, and then said, "What happened to Selena?" Is there still someone guarding her room? ”

"There's no one for now, but the room is locked." Ya shrugged, "I looked, the lock was locked from the outside, but the explanation given by the 'priest' is that Selena took self-isolation because she didn't want her disease to spread to us. ”

"You can climb in from the back wall of the church."

Ya: "That's what I thought, too. But now the problem is that Bai Yi's gang has chosen to go over the wall. We don't have to wait, since they are so proactive, let's just let them test the waters first. ”

So they sat in the room until the afternoon, and when Bai Yi and his party finally came back from outside, people found that there seemed to be one less person in the team that went out.

"We met Selena secretly, and she asked us to save her." Bai Yi frowned and strode back, facing Song Shuang and said. "We can get Selena out first, and then we can leave the church ourselves."

"Why don't you just get rid of all the fake clergy?" Song Shuang seemed puzzled, "There are nine of us, but there are only six of them. What's more, can't we beat a few aborigines of the original world combined? ”

"It's not impossible, but I always feel ......" Bai Yi was still trying to analyze and weigh the pros and cons, Qiu Xuan suddenly stood up from the chair, bent down and looked out through the gap in the window of the room.

Ya also got up at the same time, "What's wrong?" ”

"Did you reveal your identity when you went out just now?" Qiu Xuan suddenly opened her mouth and said to Bai Yi and his group, "I heard someone knocking on the door. ”

"Knock on the door?"

The executioner in the room looked surprised, and Song Shuang shouted "Don't talk nonsense" while leaning over to look out the window. After observing for a long time, he had an expression of "you are really pouring dirty water on us", and said: "There is no one outside at all, you can at least make up a better reason next time." ”

Qiu Xuan really didn't see anyone out of the window, and just when she wondered if the illusion effect of the previous incident in the bathroom was still there, this time, the knock on the door was a little louder.

All the executioners held their breath and fell silent, apparently hearing the voice.

Knock, knock, knock......

The sound was strange, neither like the tapping sound of a normal person's fingers bent up, nor like the sound of a strong slam on the door or a slap on the door.

Knock, knock, knock......

The executioners in the room looked at each other silently, opened their mouths and made a few lip syncs—

"What's going on?"

"Who is it?"

Bai Yi also frowned tightly and squeezed away Qiu Xuan and Song Shuang who were gathered by the window, he cautiously looked out through the gap in the window, and just as he looked over, the knocking sound outside the door suddenly stopped.

"What do you see?"

Song Shuang next to him asked in a low voice, Bai Yi looked at it for a while, turned his head and shook it. "There's no one out there at all."

Just a second after his words fell, a strange knock on the door rang out again.

Bai Yi turned his head abruptly to look out of the window, but this time it was the same, no matter how he looked at it from a different angle, there was no one outside the door and nothing. He clenched his fingers into fists and said in a dumb voice, "Could it be that someone is playing a prank?" ”

"No kidding." Ya crossed her arms and sneered, "Now it's nothing more than two situations, one is that you yourself are stupid enough to expose the fact that you know their identities, so the gangsters come and want to kill people." The second is ...... They began to get suspicious. ”

"They weren't sure if we knew who they were, so they wanted to make a test."

"Why are we knocking on the door this way?" Song Shuang raised his eyes and looked over, "And there is no one outside the door at all, so this may just be an accident or a prank." ”

Ya stared at Song Shuang and Bai Yi beside him with a hopeless foolish look, the latter was so angry that he choked, but he didn't open his mouth to quarrel after all.

The intermittent banging on the door lasted for about two or three minutes, and just as someone in the executioner suggested that he simply open the door and see what the strange force was. I could hear the sound of something rubbing against the ground outside the door, and then the knocking on the door disappeared completely.

After a few minutes, a strong executioner opened the door, and the outside of it was empty and silent, and there was no movement.

He sniffled slightly, "Is it my delusion?" Why do you seem to smell blood? ”

"Is there one?" Song Shuang also sniffed like him, "No, what's going on with you one by one today, don't think about it yourself!" ”

The executioner glared at him and stopped talking.

The Chainsaw Man, who had been sitting in the corner as a backdrop, suddenly stood up, and the huge shadow that suddenly began to oppress down enveloped him, causing the surrounding executioners to be vigilant for a moment. However, the chainsaw didn't even look to the side, just walked straight past the crowd and walked out the door.

"And where's the dude?"

Ya stood behind her and said strangely, Qiu Xuan patted her on the shoulder, and also told her: "I go to the bathroom again, and I always feel that something is wrong." ”

"Then I'll go with you."

If Ed was left alone in the middle of this group of executioners who could do anything for profit, they didn't know what would happen, so they had to piggyback Ed as well. A few minutes later, the three of them arrived at the familiar bathroom again, and Qiu Xuan walked straight to the compartment where the nun's body was kept, pushed open the door and bent over to check something. OK

There was not a single trace of blood missing from the ground and the surrounding walls.

"Maybe it's really that nun who made a ghost, similar to a kind of illusion ability." It seemed that seeing that her face was really not good, Ya gently patted Qiu Xuan on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't think too much, isn't it a kind of 'illusion' that we came to this scene?" It's okay, just find a way to go back when the time comes. ”

"I know."

Qiu Xuan didn't say much, she seemed to be a little tired and stroked her forehead, and suddenly thought of something. "Before, among the people who went out in Bai Yi's team, was there one less person who didn't come back?"

"Looks like there's one missing." Ya frowned and recalled for a few moments, "But the people who came back didn't mention it, it should be a lone wolf or some other reason, so let's leave the team for the time being." ”

"That's right."

They carefully and almost turned over the entire bathroom, but found no key clues. I had to leave for a while to go back, when I saw a tall figure covered in blood coming from the other side of the corridor.

Ya suddenly stopped, and loaded the gun in her hand with a wary expression.

"Where did you just go?" From a distance of a few meters, she shouted at the Chainsaw Man, who looked terrifying at the moment. The latter's bloodstained eyes, which looked even more terrifying, swept over and did not answer her words.

Qiu Xuan thought of something, and suddenly quickened his pace and ran down the corridor, passing by the blood-stained chainsaw man, and rushing into the utility room he had just walked out of.

I saw a tattered corpse, apparently hanged alive, in the gloomy utility room, with its eyeballs bursting out and falling on the floor of the utility room in a miserable state.

Qiu Xuan remembered that the man's face was a "priest" he had seen at the long table at the dinner table before, and he should also be a member of the gang.

Because the chainsaw man was in the way, Ya and Ed didn't dare to rush over without looking like Qiu Xuan. Just holding the gun in both hands vigilantly locked on the figure of the chainsaw, and asked Qiu Xuan from afar, "What's going on over there?" ”

"It's nothing, a fake priest died."

Qiu Xuan was sure that what she was witnessing now was not a "hallucination" she saw, and she slowly took a step back out of the range of the utility room, turning her head to look at the chainsaw man standing in the middle of the road.

"You can't stay here any longer, or they'll know that you killed someone when they see it." She said, "You go and wash the blood off your body, and then go back to the lounge, where I will watch." ”

The Chainsaw Man figure seemed to pause, and just as Ya was about to press the trigger, his overly narrow eyes rolled in their sockets. He took a stride and walked towards the bathroom at the end of the hallway.

Qiu Xuan retracted her gaze, swept her gaze around the utility room a few times, and locked on a dusty wardrobe.

She squeezed into the closet, angled it to make sure she could see the tragic corpse on the ground through the transparent gap, and said to Ya and Ed, who came along, "You guys go back first, make sure no one else passes by during this time, I want to make sure of something." ”

Ya guessed what she was going to do, and with a "be careful", she pulled Ed, who was still trying to ask something, and closed the door and walked out.

Qiu Xuan curled up in the closet, holding the ugly jade pendant of the solar-charging model in the palm of her hand, closing her eyes and contemplating something.

Yes, she still didn't believe that the nun she had killed before was just her own fantasy. And if it wasn't, then it was only possible that after he left the bathroom, someone would sneak in and dispose of the body and the murder scene.

This conjecture is even more certain after seeing the Chainsaw Man kill. Although she still couldn't guess which side the person who was carrying everyone behind his back and what he wanted to do, it seemed that she would soon get the answer.

……

Inside the lounge dedicated to "hunters".

After an afternoon of unexpected, all the executioners calmed down and sat around again, trying to figure out the reason from the collective discussion.

The executioners, including but not limited to the Chainsaw Man, led by Ya, sat on the other side of Bai Yi and them clearly, discussing their own affairs.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the dead lounge.

The crowd inside instantly seemed to be choked by the throat, and after being silent for a long time, a grumpy executioner stood up and scolded: "It's not fucking endless, isn't it, no matter who the mischievous grandson is, he's messed with the wrong person!" ”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal his strong and powerful muscles, strode to the door and opened the door with a bang.

The action of the fist smashing down suddenly stopped.

Qiu Xuan patted the ash and got up from the ground and glanced at the man stiffened in front of him.

"Ah, it's you......" the man scratched his head, "No, why don't you have anything to do with someone knocking on the door, I almost confessed my mistake." ”

Qiu Xuan shook her head, casually pushed aside the figure of the man blocking the door, and staggered into the lounge. His steps seemed to be a little vain, and his face was slightly pale, as if he hadn't closed his eyes for days and nights.

"Why are you?" Song Shuang glanced at it and began to shout, "Are you idle and have nothing to do, is it fun to play us!" ”

Qiu Xuan didn't even look at him, and walked straight to Ya and Ed, she raised her hand and pressed her temple, her tone sounding tired.

"I've found the executioner who didn't come back that afternoon, his name is Theron, right?" Qiu Xuan Road.

Bai Yi immediately stood up, "Yes." So where is Theron now? ”

Qiu Xuan looked back expressionlessly, "He's dead." ”

"What?" "How so?"

The crowd exploded in an instant. Then Ya vigorously patted the table to make them quiet, and motioned for Qiu Xuan to continue. The latter's drooping eyelashes lifted slightly, sweeping around the crowd with different looks.

"When I found Theron's body, all he had left was one torso, his hands and feet had been chopped off, and his tongue was gone...... Do you see what I mean? ”

"This afternoon, the knock on the door was Theron, who was left with only a torso in the middle, banging his head on the door," she said. Because he had no hands or feet, and he couldn't make a sound, he had to squirm and arch with his head, which is why we couldn't see him through the window - he could only lie on the ground and ask us for help. But no one paid attention to him, and no one opened the door, so a few minutes later, the murderer chased after him, and dragged him away from the door. ”
