Chapter 15: Head to Head

Lu Qiu didn't show any surprise when he saw Gu Chong and Li Jiawen coming back together.

Li Jiawen glanced at Lu Qiu, who was sitting on the seat and eating leisurely, and the two of them were speechless, without speaking, and sat down in their own seats.

The hostess's state has been getting worse and worse these days, if the hostess a few days ago was just a young woman with a mental breakdown, then she is close to a complete mental breakdown these days.

"Ouch!"

At the dinner table, a man covered his mouth and screamed, and everyone's eyes were attracted to him, only to see the man spit something out of his mouth and put it on his hand.

"Oh my God, there's broken glass in there!" Hearing his words, everyone present hurriedly took spoons and slashed them in their bowls, for fear of eating something strange.

"The time is almost up."

Gu Chong heard Lu Qiu muttering in a low voice.

After dinner, a few people who were about to go back to their rooms suddenly heard a woman's high-pitched scream. hurriedly rushed over and found Li Jiawen and He Ya standing in front of the storage room that had opened the door, He Ya's face was pale, and Li Jiawen's face was also very ugly.

What fell in front of the two of them was the corpse of a beige puppy, the puppy's neck was twisted and hung weakly on the neck, the blood stained the hair around its neck red, and even the exposed bones could be faintly seen.

"No, it's none of my business, I just saw something white in this door, and I was going to open it to take a look, but I didn't expect ......"

He Ya stammered, and Li Jiawen's face became even more ugly.

"Did you touch this thing?" Li Jiawen asked, although he tried his best to cover it up, he could still hear the unkindness of his tone. He Ya seemed to have felt Li Jiawen's suppressed anger, she looked at Li Jiawen with tears on her face, and reached out to grab his sleeve.

"Brother Jiawen, Brother Jiawen, I know it's wrong, you save me, I don't want to die."

The dog seemed to have been dead for a while, Gu Chong frowned, he clearly remembered the last few pages of the fairy tale book, the beginning of the hostess's blackening, the first one was to kill a puppy.

So, has it already begun?

Gu Chong didn't find it, no one found it, Lu Qiu Wuyan didn't know when he disappeared, and Fang Linna was the only one standing in the crowd.

When everyone returned to the room, they could still hear He Ya kneeling in front of the door of Li Jiawen's room while crying and banging on the door, crying was heartbreaking. No one cared about her, and no one dared to care, but after more than half an hour, Li Jiawen actually opened the door and put him in.

This is something that no one expected.

The fairy tale book Luqiu Wuyan has been returned to Gu Chong, and it seems that Luqiu Wuyan and they seem to have reached another important prop. Gu Chong also vaguely knew that he and Han Han were being used by Lu Qiu speechlessly, but Li Jiawen didn't embarrass them, just dealing with such a smiling person, after all, he was still a little panicked.

Today's Gu Chong quickly fell asleep.

He had a dream in which a man in a top hat with long fingertips, hidden in layers of mist, looked at him from afar. Suddenly, the man stretched out his finger towards him, and Gu Chong woke up suddenly.

When I wake up, it will be dawn.

Gu Chong rubbed his eyes, yawned on the bed, and was about to continue sleeping, but he vaguely heard a burst of screams from next door.

Gu Chong thought about it, but still covered his head with the quilt, and fell asleep again in a blink of an eye.

It's dawn.

He Ya disappeared.

The sleeves of Li Jiawen's clothes seemed to have been pulled by something vigorously, and they were already a little tattered; He also had some scratches on his forearms, some of which were red. Gu Chong had never seen him have such a gloomy expression since he saw him, and he didn't seem to want to disguise himself.

He slammed the table in front of him with a "bang", and at the same time stared at Lu Qiu silently, and said in a low voice:

"Did you do it?"

Lu Qiu Wuyan was not frightened by him, but gently raised his eyes and glanced at him, "I don't understand what you're saying?" ”

"Don't pretend to be garlic," Li Jiawen yelled viciously, "What kind of hatred do I have with you, and you want to go against me again and again?" ”

"This sentence is really interesting," Lu Qiu Wuyan was still so calm and light, "If you haven't done anything, why would anyone come to harm you?" ”

Li Jiawen's expression on his face changed, he didn't speak again, but glanced at Lu Qiu speechlessly, didn't even eat breakfast, turned his head and went upstairs. Lu Qiu was speechless and continued to eat the bowl of milk-soaked cereal in front of him.

The crowd has not been reduced in the past few days, and to be honest, compared to the B-level world that Gu Chong had last time, there were far fewer people dying in this world. Despite this, because Li Jiawen has torn his face in the past few days and is too lazy to disguise the appearance of the big brother, the people who were originally centered on him suddenly lost their backbone and could only run around like a headless fly.

After all, in their opinion, there is not a single key item that has yet appeared.

Li Jiawen didn't panic, looking at him, it seemed that he had already taken the key items on Luqiu Wuyan's body, and in the past few days, his main job was to monitor Luqiu Wuyan.

Among the others, there should be people who guessed what key items Lu Qiu Wuyan had gotten, but no one raised it with fanfare and said that this is the reality, and in the world, selfishness is the normal state of people.

In the blink of an eye, there is only one day left before the deadline.

The weather, which has been fairly bright, has become a bit gloomy today.

Early this morning, the hostess wore an off-white nightdress and walked around the house. His blonde hair had become messy and gray due to neglect for a long time, and his eyes were bloodshot, making him look like he hadn't slept for a long time.

She wandered around the room like a ghost, the muscles of her face twitching from time to time, so that no one in the house dared to leave her room.

"Tomorrow is the day to open the door," Lu Qiu sat on Gu Chong's bed without a word, and at this time, the four of them also gathered together to discuss.

"Now the two things are in our hands, the initiative is ours, don't care about others, we must not make mistakes today, maybe Li Jiawen will use some means, you two will be with us at any time."

"But we still don't know what the amulet is or what the key is," Gu Chong asked. "We'll try things when we open the door tomorrow, and then I'll take the key and open the door."

Before Gu Chong could ask how to try, he heard a scream from the first floor.

Lu Qiu stood up wordlessly, motioned for the others to retreat, opened the door herself, poked her head out, looked around first, and walked out of the door.

In the hallway, there was silence, walking on the old wooden plank, making a "creaking" sound.

Lu Qiu wordlessly stuck his head out of the corridor, and could see two figures in the living room. A taller woman, a shorter boy.

It was the mistress of the house and her son.

And a knife was stuck in her son's neck.

The little boy had a fruit knife stuck in his neck, and blood was bubbling down the edge of the knife, staining the old navy blue sweater of the little boy black.

The most frightening thing was not this, but the knife stuck in the boy's neck, but the boy did not have any pain on his face, just looked at the woman in front of him who had fallen into madness with an expressionless face.

His mother.

As if sensing that someone was peeking, the woman turned her head awkwardly, but she didn't see half a figure. The woman turned her head again and slammed the knife in.

The little boy stretched out his hand to grab the corner of his mother's skirt, but in the end, his hands drooped because of weakness.

"Plop."

He fell to the ground with a bang.

The hostess crouched down and pulled out the knife stuck in the boy's neck, splattering her with blood. She ignored it and continued to wander like a walking corpse.

Lu Qiu ducked back into the room without a word, closed the door lightly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"How?"

"The woman killed her son."

"Killed?!" Gu Chong was surprised.

"Now the last step in the fairy tale book has been completed, tsk, it looks like tomorrow is a big battle." I don't know if it's an illusion, Gu Chong always felt that when Fang Linna said this,

A little excited.
