Chapter 4: The Curse
When he returned to the scene, Lu Buming was the last to come in.
The bloodstains and corpses were gone. It was as if nothing had happened in the room, except for ink and a mess of stationery and books scattered on the floor.
Zhao Lao Wu's eyes widened.
"Where's the corpse!"
His question was the same question that everyone on the spot had. Within seconds of leaving the room, the corpses in the room were gone, and there was no doubt that this annex was a real murderous mansion.
Middle-aged people watched these supernatural phenomena happen, and tension and fear swirled in their throats, and they couldn't even make a whimper for a while.
"What the hell is going on!" Even Huang Zixi became nervous, the house was chaotic, noisy sounds and a frightened atmosphere dominated the entire annex, and the middle-aged people sat down on the ground in frustration, originally going to the banquet with fifteen people, but the banquet had not yet started, and even the corpses of the companions could no longer be found.
Lu Buming watched all this quietly without a glance.
Zhao Lao Wu slowly retreated, as soon as he left the room, he tripped over something behind him and fell to the ground, and was about to scold, but there was a frightened snort in his throat and eyes.
"This, this, what is this...... Zhao Lao Wu's voice became thinner and thinner, and when he heard his voice, the people in the room divided into several parts and went to the corridor.
There was no light in the corridor, but the lights in the main hall were smashed by something, and the dark corridor was very terrifying.
The blood-colored font dragon and phoenix dance, the blood stains are still dripping down, and the candlestick is swaying, which is even more terrifying.
I saw it written on the wall. "Ten years are not overdue, and I will pay it back."
The eight words are like a spell, looking at these eight blood words, the middle-aged people silently read them out of their mouths, and their faces became more and more ugly. They crawled to the main hall, and Zhao Lao Wu found a few candlelight lamps and placed them around the room, and the faint light and shadow illuminated the interior of the hall.
Silent.
At this time, there is nothing else to be done but to remain silent. No one dared to break the silence, and the condensed atmosphere spread throughout the inner hall, except for Lu Buming.
He glanced at the crowd disdainfully, yawned, and put on a bored face.
Huang Zixi and the other two women stood beside Lu Buming, and they naturally kept their distance from these middle-aged people, not because they felt dangerous, but because a bad atmosphere spread.
At first, it was suspicion.
One of the middle-aged men smoked two packs of cigarettes in a row, a speed that stunned Lu Buming.
He angrily ripped off his collar and tie, exposed his neck, and threw the empty cigarette case on the ground, which made Lu Buming look familiar.
"It's a curse, it can't be wrong." The middle-aged man's voice sounded, and fear somewhat carried a sense of helplessness in resignation, and he held his head with both hands and began to sob.
"We were here ten years ago." The man opened the subject, and he looked both painful and guilty. "I said a long time ago that if you do this kind of thing, sooner or later you will pay it back."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The other man jerked to his feet and stopped him from speaking, the man who looked to be the oldest, with the same snow-white hair, who had already thrown his suit jacket aside, revealing his broad, stiff chest.
"What did we do wrong? When did those gentlemen treat us as human beings? We are doing the right thing for heaven! The man was very excited, waving his fists and saying.
The two soon quarreled.
"It's a ghost." for two
The argument, as if only these middle-aged people could understand, a look of horror appeared on their faces, and a woman sobbed, she pulled out a square scarf and handkerchief from her bag, and whimpered.
"Back then, we were confused." The woman hid her face and said, "Yes, they are shameless, but that shouldn't be damned...... We...... We were all idle merchants at first, and we just made ends meet......"
"Subsistence?" The man stood up, walked quickly to the woman, his face full of anger, and said, "You know their faces! Where is our place? We're just getting started, and you see the results! Lao Xin's family was forced to jump off the building, and the coffin book that Old Man Sun had saved all his life, and the industry with his son were eaten clean, what was the result? ”
The woman couldn't speak, she could only sobbed faintly, what this man said was not unreasonable, if he hadn't been forced into a dead end, who would have come to this point?
In the end, however, fear triumphed over reason. The other stood up suddenly, his short beard as if set in his cheeks, and his short, thin body looked a little more obscene.
"They're begging for their lives, what can we say? Look at this annex, is it the same as it was back then? At first, there was one, and then there was ......" The more the obscene middle-aged man spoke, the more frightened he became, the color of his face changed and changed, and even the man with the biggest temper didn't dare to refute anything anymore.
"Uncle!" Huang Zixi stood up suddenly, and his big back combed upside down was very eye-catching.
"Don't scare everyone, add to the mess." Huang Zixi suggested that everyone calm down, and it is best to call the police to deal with it.
However, except for the four young people who agreed to call the police, the rest of the middle-aged people strongly objected.
"It's a curse, it's revenge. Alarm? Calling the police has a fart. The middle-aged man scolded fiercely: "This can't be wrong, it's them, they're here to take revenge." ”
Who are they? Lu Buming wanted to ask clearly, but from the trembling words of the middle-aged people, he could hardly piece together a complete clue.
"Hahaha." One laughed, pale. Lu Buming recognized him, and it was this person who hit the door first, he staggered to his feet, and his mind was no longer normal.
"They're finally here. I haven't slept a full night for so many years, so many years. The man staggered to his feet, staggering, and walked step by step to the desk by the candlestick.
The madman's stumbling behavior aroused the disgust of all the other middle-aged people present, and they all stood up nervously, and one person dared to stop in front of the madman.
"What are you going to do?"
The man shouted and asked, but the madman didn't seem to take him seriously, muttered "Get up, you go", and dragged the man aside, put his hand in, and groped his way into the bookcase.
His eyes rolled around, and his mouth spasmed: "It's back then, that house back then." That's right, here, here's ......"
Before the madman could finish his words, he suddenly let out a scream. His arm that had been put into the bookcase had been severed at the root, and blood gushed out from his root artery.
The madman screamed and crashed in all directions, like a fly with a severed head.
All eyes in the main hall were now focused on a woman cowering in the corner, the madman's arm caused by the axe she had flown out. However, the middle-aged people were not surprised or frightened by this, but were unusually calm.
They watched with their own eyes as the woman took a hatchet from the flowerbed in the corner and threw it at the madman, but instead of screaming in horror, there was silence and calmness.
Until the two young women behind Lu Buming
The people cried out, and they dispersed. The distance between each middle-aged person was at least two meters, and they looked at each other vigilantly, slowly moving back.
"Sure enough." A man at the very edge of the main hall stepped back nervously, and he said, "Here, this place is exactly the same as the room from ten years ago. Calm down, everyone. ”
He said several times calmly, and the voices that answered him also came and went, and everyone didn't dare to act rashly, but their fingers desperately touched behind them, and their eyes were fixed on the crazy man in the middle.
The man's wrist was gone, and the blood gushed out, but no one dared to move him, and the man with the hemorrhage first wailed and writhed, then pleaded and writhed, and finally stopped in the middle, his face was as white as paper, and he could no longer move.
He's dead.
Lu Buming felt in his heart, he understood what was happening, this crazy man was gone.
Leng Shuang, who has always been calm, seemed to want to stand up and say something, Lu Buming suddenly grabbed her hand, and with the other hand, he took a wine glass and pushed it in front of Leng Shuang.
Leng Shuang looked at Lu Buming suspiciously.
Lu Buming didn't say a word. Huang Zixi, who witnessed the bloody scene, Meng Wan and He Qiuye were so frightened that they couldn't say a word, they looked at the middle-aged man in front of them like looking at a monster.
"They, what are they doing?" Although she kept a certain distance from the middle-aged man, He Qiuye still had palpitations, and she locked her neck.
"I'm afraid it's going to kill each other." Lu Buming's calm analysis made the three of them look sideways at him, and they could still be so calm and calm in this situation.
"No, that's not right." Huang Zixi's body swayed. "In this situation, shouldn't we find the murderer, how, how can we kill each other? And, moreover, where did they find the guys? ”
Huang Zixi didn't say the latter words. It's like a space that exists for killing, surrounded by a quiet and sealed basement, and the weapons that can be seen at hand, as well as the restlessness and air condensed in the air, ignite the murderous aura like a booster.
"Call, call the police. What are we going to do. Meng Wan also panicked, her hands clutched her handbag tightly and shrunk into a ball.
"Murderer." Lu Buming looked at the middle-aged men at the moment of crisis and said, "I'm afraid only they know the murderers. ”
Zhao Lao Wu had never seen such a formation, he panicked, and staggered back to his bedroom, but was grabbed by Huang Zixi's wrist.
"What the hell is going on?" Huang Zixi asked with a gloomy face.
Zhao Lao Wu's face changed as soon as he brushed the ground, he was originally strong and completely lost his confidence now, it was enough trouble for someone to die, but he didn't expect this paradoxical atmosphere to spread.
"I don't know, I really don't know anything, I'm just listening to the owner." Zhao Lao Wu cried with a sad face, but Huang Zixi didn't believe it.
"Didn't you say you were going to call the owner? What about people? Huang Zixi seemed to grasp the flaw and said: "I just feel weird, why did it take so long for you to call someone?" You were the one who took us all the way into the annex, and you were the first to find the body, did you happen to be the one who arranged this 'game'? ”
Zhao Lao Wu listened to Huang Zixi's inference, and immediately fell to his knees with a thud.
"Wronged." Zhao Lao Wu cried and broke away from Huang Zixi's hand and gasped violently.
The more I looked at Zhao Lao Wu like this, the more I felt that he was suspicious. The three young men stood up and glared at Zhao Lao Wu.
"It's not him." Lu Buming suddenly spoke up at this time and said. "The murderer is certainly not him."
