Chapter 57: A Bloodthirsty Night (I)
There are all kinds of people in this world, old people, children, gentlemen, hypocrites, geniuses like Mi Jingyun who can calculate each other's every step into their plans, and there are also fools like Zhang Lu who are scheming and simply excessive.
"You want to regret it? Hehe, a woman who is too fickle doesn't seem to be likable. Mi Jingyun said softly to Zhang Lu, who went forward to cancel the bet.
Zhang Lu snorted: "That's my business, do you agree or not?" β
Mi Jingyun didn't rush to answer, she walked to the window unhurriedly, and while looking into the distance, she said slowly: "Zhang Lu, remember that your parents used to be employees in Ah Ye's father's company, but unfortunately just three years ago, they were fired by their uncle inexplicably, so your two incompetent parents who don't have any skills can only rely on fragmentary work to live a poor life."
"And according to some rumors of the long-tongued woman, your parents seem to hate Ah Ye's family, but it's strange, why are you so close to Ah Ye? Do you like him very much, hehe, or ......" Mi Jingyun looked at her and said slowly word by word: "Or did your parents let you deliberately get close to him, and then find an opportunity to take revenge on him?" β
"Mi Jingyun!" Zhang Luqi's eyes were about to burst into flames, and she said angrily: "You can insult me, but don't insult my parents." Yes, my family is very poor, but we have never complained! Although my parents are really incapable, they are the best and most understanding parents in the world, so they will not be as despicable and unscrupulous as you! β
"Oh?" Mi Jingyun laughed disdainfully: "Black and white are what you said, of course I don't know, but as far as your explanation is concerned, can I think that you admit that you like Ah Ye very much?" β
Zhang Lu was stunned: "I never said that." β
Mi Jingyun sank her face and glared at her fiercely: "Since you don't want to take revenge on him and don't like him, then why are you always cheeky and stuck between me and Ah Ye?" Why do you always thwart us? Don't you have never understood the truth that you would rather destroy ten temples than break one family? Or are you just bored and find it funny? β
"I ...... I ......" Zhang Lu was so anxious that she couldn't speak, her rough nervous brain began to mess up, and she faintly felt that her position was indeed very delicate.
Mi Jingyun continued: "What do you think of me and Ah Ye? Do you understand the pain of liking someone? I love him like crazy, not just because he's my fiancΓ©, but because he's really similar to me. He is always unscrupulous and even treacherous for his curiosity, that kind of man, the only one who can give him happiness is me! Please don't bother us again! β
"Nope! Silent at night is not like what you say! Zhang Lu suddenly came to her senses, and she shouted loudly: "Ye Buyu is a very gentle person, he is very smart, very confident, and very righteous, in short...... In short, he is very trustworthy, so he is not like you! β
Mi Jingyun looked at the excited Zhang Lu in surprise, and her face showed a rare anger: "Zhang Lu, you are too naΓ―ve." I'm not going to cancel this game, hmph, it seems that only by winning you can you completely die to Ah Ye. β
Zhang Lu also sneered: "I don't plan to cancel it now, I won't let you get close to Ye Silent again, I will never allow him to fall!" β
After listening to Zhang Lu tell the antecedents, I couldn't cry or laugh: "Zhang Lu, you guy was completely tricked by Mi Jingyun!" β
"It's all your fault!" Zhang Lu said angrily: "If it weren't for shouting in front of Mi Jingyun's house in order to help you get out of the siege last time, I wouldn't be swayed by what she said!" β
"But I didn't ask you." I muttered.
Zhang Lu glared at me fiercely, looking like a cannibal: "What did you say? β
I immediately sweated profusely and said with a dry smile: "Haha, I thank you for your great kindness." Then he changed the topic and asked, "So you really went to that building last night, the toilet where Ni Mei died, and then really peeled apples there?" β
"Yes, I'm scared when I think about it now, it's so weird!" A vicious chill surged up his back, and Zhang Lu couldn't help but shiver.
"So what happened that night? Can you tell me more about it? Inexplicably excited, I asked as I handed her a glass of water.
Zhang Lu nodded helplessly, and began to recall the incident he had encountered last night in fear.
At around half past eleven last night, Mi Jingyun came with Yang Shanshan and Huang Juan.
"They're the referees for this competition." Mi Jingyun pointed behind her and said.
Zhang Lu pursed his lips: "No coward, I think it's just that you're afraid." β
Mi Jingyun laughed softly: "Zhang Lu, you are too villainous, although I am a little extreme, I still care about fairness." The two of them would wait quietly outside the room during the competition, and for the sake of fairness, I also had some things in the room. β
Yang Shanshan opened the door with the key she got out of nowhere, and then the four bold girls slowly walked in and went upstairs.
Ni Mei lived in the first room on the right side of the fourth floor of this haunted house before her death, and Zhang Lu was surprised to find that the door was not locked, but wide open. At this time, Mi Jingyun spoke again: "Before going in, let me explain the rules of this competition."
"Since the game stipulates that one person must have one room, and since Ni Mei does not have a second toilet in her home, I divided her room into two rooms, and I drilled a hole between the paper walls to be fair."
She looked at Zhang Lu and continued, "I know you don't believe me, so you can look through that hole from time to time to see if I'm peeling an apple like you. I've prepared the props for the competition in each room, but if one of us finishes peeling the apple first and doesn't break it, we call it a stop. At that time, the other party can no longer move, and everyone must immediately gather in front of the room and show their results. β
"It seems that you have good intentions for this competition!" Zhang Lu said sarcastically.
"Of course, because I'm working on someone I love." Mi Jingyun smiled sweetly and added: "Another point, the time limit for our game is five minutes, and I have prepared a timer in the room, and I must come out when the time comes." If no one has finished peeling by then, or if the skin of the apple has been broken, the winner will be judged by the longest section. After the explanation, do you agree? β
Zhang Lu snorted: "You are so thoughtful, of course I don't have any opinions." β
"Alright, let's get started! After this tournament, we can be friends no matter who wins or loses, right? Mi Jingyun asked expectantly.
"I'm sorry, I appreciate your kindness. Be your friend, I don't dare, otherwise I won't know how to die if I am sold by you one day! Zhang Lu immediately made a look of admiration.
"That's a shame! I thought we could be friends. Mi Jingyun walked in disappointed first.
Zhang Lu followed and walked into Ni Mei's not small room. In this room of more than 20 square meters, as Mi Jingyun said, it was divided in half by cardboard, and she chose the left.
Under the dim wall lamp, a table and a chair can be faintly seen. A mirror of more than twenty square centimeters, a bright red apple, and a terrible white candle were already placed on the table, and a sharp fruit knife.
The fruit knife shimmered with gray light in this orange light, and people couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of oppression. Zhang Lu shuddered, looking through the hole in the paper wall, Mi Jingyun had already sat at the table, she picked up the apple, and seemed to be thinking about where to start.
Can't be careless any longer, Zhang Lu also took action, she lit the candle, turned off the wall lamp, and sat down.
Suddenly realizing that the hand holding the apple was trembling slightly uncontrollably, Zhang Lu looked up at himself in the mirror. The candlelight flickered and burned a dim light, and the shadow in her mirror swayed, and she vaguely felt that her face had turned pale, permeated with a strong weirdness.
"Am I scared?" Zhang Lu whispered to himself: "You have to blame that guy who is silent at night, you must blackmail him tomorrow!" "One picked up the knife and sharpened it slowly.
The flesh of this apple is very tight, and it is of the kind that is quite easy to peel. She mustered up the results of two days of special training, and the sharp fruit knife continued to separate the peel and pulp.
Peeling apples is actually very particular, because if you want to peel well, the apple skin should be shaved long, you must grasp the thickness of the skin and the amount of flesh, if there is more flesh peeled together, the skin is too brittle and heavy and easy to break, but if there is less, it is more troublesome, so it is easy to break.
Zhang Lu worshipped his mother, who claimed to be a master, as his teacher, and trained in hell for two days. In those two days, the whole family was in hell, and her parents, afraid of wasting, ate her peeled apples desperately, and finally caused the whole family to have a strange illness similar to stomach cramps at the mention of the word apple.
Of course, after training, she has finally achieved some results, and now she can fully grasp the rhythm of apple peeling.
Finally cut half of it, Zhang Lu took a deep breath. Haha, it's only been a minute, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked at Mi Jingyun from the hole, Mi Jingyun had already cut a lot, and she saw that her speed was faster than herself!
"I'm not going to lose!" Zhang Lu muttered to himself and started again.
