"Miss, this is a new health chicken soup, and you drink it to be good for your skin."

"Isn't my skin artificial?"

"......", Laifu didn't answer, but still put the chicken soup on the bedside table, "In addition to the beauty effect, it can also moisten the lungs." ”

"Looks like two-thirds of my lung tissue has been removed, right?"

Ellie didn't look back when she spoke, but she always felt a little strange about the blessings these days. It's not so much strange as excessive hospitality.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly turned her head to look at the old man with a straight waist, and without opening her mouth to ask, she could see the expression of "everything is OK" on his face.

"Let's go, I can't drink, and besides, I don't feel hungry."

casually found a movie and watched it for a while, her eyelids began to heavily, and she squinted at the time in the lower right corner, half an hour had passed, and she hurriedly turned off the player to see what the results of the investigation were.

"Well, it's over."

The mouse wheel slid up and down, making a subtle "click", but soon, the sound became a little harsh.

Ellie stopped her finger curiously, but the sound didn't stop. Only then did she realize that the sound did not come from the mouse.

"Click......"

The shrill voice, sometimes sharp, sometimes crisp, but she never found its source. Just as she thought she was hallucinating and was about to continue studying the list on the screen, there was a "thump" sound at the door.

She didn't rush to open the door, because the only people who could knock on it were Uncle Rifle and Maria, who was in charge of tidying up her room.

Uncle Laifu had just gone out, and Maria had returned to her parents' house today, so there were only Bison and Xiaolan who came to visit in the middle of the night.

But they are already in a hurry now, and it is impossible to do such a thing in one more way. The rest of the possibilities can only make Ellie feel frightened.

She lifted the curtains, picked up a pot of succulent meat from the windowsill, and tiptoed to the door.

The slender fingers gently hooked the ball-shaped handle and quickly twisted it down, but there was no one outside the door.

"Shhh Ellie muttered something in a whisper, then swallowed again.

Cautiously poking his head out, he searched back and forth in the hallway for figures, but still found nothing.

"Maybe it's a hallucination, so let's play less VR. Well? What is it? Just as she turned to enter the house, she stumbled upon something different on the door panel.

This door has been living in the house for longer than Ellie. I heard my father say that these solid wood furniture and other furnishings existed as early as the time of Zengzeng's grandfather.

He was also particularly concerned about it, and before he went bankrupt, he had to hire a professional to wax and starch it every month.

The dark brown door panel was almost smoother than his face, but now, he could clearly see a few obvious scratches below, near the ground.

When I looked closer, there were still some scraps of wood paint on it, and when I reached out and touched it, there was a sticky feeling.

But when she saw her fingers, Ellie almost cried out.

It's faintly red, and it's clearly blood.

"No, what's going on?" Ellie returned to her room in a panic, locking the door securely.

Messy brain, no clue at all. Is it a ghost seeking his life, or is it a demon attacking? It's impossible, Maria has gone home, and the other maids are it?

No, I'm usually so nice to them, absolutely impossible.

Huh? Xiaolan, why did they go to the toilet for so long?

Thinking of this, and contacting Uncle Laifu, who behaved strangely, Ellie had goosebumps on her body. A worst thought arises spontaneously.

After thinking about it, she moved the bed board through a crack, then reached in and took out a revolver.

Staring at the gun in her hand, she couldn't help but recall the time when she was at her worst, and he didn't have the courage to pull the trigger when he stuffed it into his mouth several times, and finally gave up the idea of suicide.

Now, there's a good chance the gun will save her life. I just can't figure out why things are the way they are.

"Uncle Laifu, maybe I shouldn't have rescued you back."

After checking the bullets, she walked briskly out of the room, barefoot searching the hallways for clues.

"The carpet has been dragged," Ellie muttered silently, looking at the subtle shape of the carpet as she walked straight towards Rifle's bedroom.

Before he could reach the door, Rifle pushed the door and walked out, and Ellie hurriedly hid her hand behind her back and greeted him.

"Miss, you still haven't slept so late?"

"Uh, have you forgotten that I'm helping Xiaolan find someone?"

"What Xiaolan?" Rifle was very surprised, but his eyes noticed Ellie's hand, "Miss, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

Ellie didn't answer, but continued to ask if he saw Ran and Bison.

"I don't know what you're talking about, miss, have you drunk the medicine you've drunk?" Rifle was about to come over when he said this, and when Ellie saw it, she quickly pulled out her gun and pointed it at his head.

"Don't move! I don't know if something is wrong with your system or if you have a virus, but now, tell me where the two of you are! ”

After the words came out, Laifu's originally expressionless face also showed a smile again. It's not weird, but it's still quite creepy in this dim environment.

"Miss, you must ......"

"Shut up!" Ellie yelled angrily, "Hurry up! ”

Laifu was not shocked or panicked, slowly lowered his head, and said in a strange voice: "Miss, your illness has flareed up again, and I have to take some measures to put you to sleep now." ”

With that, he dodged to Ellie's side, and then grabbed her arm with the gun.

"Bang! Boom! Two gunshots rang out, and the light of the fire illuminated the hallway, but not a single bullet hit Riful's body.

Just as the two of them were at a stalemate, another gunshot rang out in the air, but Ellie was stunned because she didn't fire it.

Subconsciously looked at Laifu's body, only to see that a large hole appeared in his chest inexplicably, judging from the diameter of the hole, it should have been caused by a larger bullet.

It's just that it didn't hurt the vital point.

"Well, such a guest, it would be nice to kill it in the first place." Rifle couldn't care about Ellie, turned around and walked off into the distance.

Ellie, who had been stunned for a long time, also saw the person who shot at this time, it was Xiaolan who was lying in the distance.

"Ellie, run!"

Xiaolan's voice was very weak, and her face couldn't be seen clearly, and Ellie remembered what had happened when she heard the shouting, and her complicated feelings swept through her body for a while.

Thinking back to the half century when Uncle Laifu took care of her family, she hesitated and was never able to shoot.

Seeing that he was about to go to Xiaolan's side, he pulled the trigger hard, and all his memories disappeared in an instant.
