Chapter 42: Attacked
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, as if someone was about to come down from the stairs.
"Drag it in." Shen Mengyun immediately made a decision and asked Xu Sheng to drag the box at the door into the house, and he tore off the apron on his body, threw it on the ground, and wiped the pool of blood clean.
At this moment, in the house, Lu Jie also walked out of the room with a book after hearing the movement at the door. Shen Mengyun closed the door with a heavy face, and everyone looked at the box on the ground that was constantly oozing blood, and vaguely guessed what was inside.
"Since it's all delivered, let's take it apart and take a look." Lu Jie looked at the box, and the expression on his face was still the same smiling look. Shen Mengyun glanced at him hesitantly and swallowed back what he wanted to say.
At this time, Ling Meng happened to come out of the kitchen, still holding the sharp knife for making breakfast in his hand. After seeing the box on the ground, the girl came to it without saying a word, bent down silently, and used the sharp blade in her hand to cut through the tape wrapped around the surface of the cardboard box, and then tore the box fiercely. Her movements were not gentle, for a moment, Xu Sheng felt that this girl was like a living creature in front of her dismemberment, a cold knife light flashed from her face, and through the side of the bangs, Xu Sheng saw a cold eye without any emotion.
He subconsciously shuddered, and at the same time, Ling Meng had already dismantled the outermost paper shell, revealing the white styrofoam box inside. The top of the box was covered with a layer of red cloth, and there were a lot of ice packs around it, the weather was hot at the moment, and the ice packs had already melted a lot, mixed with the blood oozing from the bottom of the box, soaking the outer layer of paper shells.
"Be careful." Shen Mengyun grabbed Ling Meng's arm and pulled her away. She vigilantly approached the detection item to the box, but did not respond.
Seeing this, Ling Meng nodded, intending to uncover the box. Chen Zhi couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed her arm and said, "Let me come." ”
He had good intentions, but Ling Meng seemed to be very resistant to having contact with men, she shook off Chen Zhi's hand, pushed two steps away, and didn't pay attention to the other party. Chen Zhi was a little embarrassed, of course he didn't want to take advantage of the other party. He just felt that the box was not a good thing, the other party was a girl after all, and it was better to let a man do this kind of dirty work.
Chen Zhi didn't want to explain more at the moment, he picked up the knife that Ling Meng had placed on the ground, took a deep breath, and slowly cut the last layer of tape wrapped around the plastic cardboard box. The moment the box was opened, the smell of bloody blood instantly permeated the entire room.
Chen Zhi covered his mouth and nose, staggered back two steps, and was almost so frightened by the scene in front of him that he couldn't stand steadily. Xu Sheng quickly grabbed the other party, but his hands were also extremely cold, and he was obviously frightened.
"How so...... They...... Something went wrong? Shen Mengyun was shocked.
The box contained a bloodstained skull and pieces of flesh scattered about, among which mutilated bones could be seen. The man's expression was still frozen in the moment of death, and his face still had the pain and despair before death.
"Not long after I died, huh...... At most, this morning. Lu Jie calmly examined the corpse in front of him and muttered to himself, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the action?" ”
The reason why he said this was because the corpse in the box was one of the five people who were in charge of infiltrating the Luo Sect this morning.
"What about the others? They won't all be killed, will they? Xu Sheng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart: "If they all die, won't we fail in action?" No, you can't just sit back and wait for news! ”
"Calm down, it's just one of them. Maybe someone else hasn't revealed their identities yet...... But it's no longer safe and we have to evacuate immediately. Shen Mengyun said. She didn't expect that Luo Jiao would once again discover their hiding place, and deliberately sent the corpses of her companions to the door to warn. But if the other party knew that they were here, why didn't they do it immediately, but took great pains to scare them with a box of corpses?
Thinking of this, her gaze fell once again on the pile of bloody corpses in the box. The overhead fan "creak" and "creak" kept ringing, the room was silent, and the indoor breeze mixed with the smell of blood stimulated the nerves of everyone present.
The head that had been placed in the box suddenly moved without warning.
Shen Mengyun was sure that he was not mistaken: just now, the corpse's eyes did blink!
At this moment, the fan above everyone's heads suddenly sped up. There was a loud "click" at the junction at the top of the fan, and the metal cracked. In the next second, with the fall of ash from the wall overhead, Shen Mengyun saw that the rapidly rotating fan had just fallen.
For a moment, blood splattered in the house.
Xu Sheng's face still had a look of horror and incredulity, but his body had fallen to the ground with a "bang", blood was flowing all over the ground along the break in his neck, Xu Sheng's body was not completely dead, like a decapitated earthworm, falling in a pool of blood and convulsing.
Although Chen Zhi was injured, his reaction was not slow. The moment he heard a loud bang overhead, he was already rolling in other directions, away from the center of the room.
Shen Mengyun covered her mouth, blood splashed her face, and at this time, she was already so frightened that she lost her ability to speak.
She was knocked down by Ling Meng beside her, if it wasn't for the other party's timely response, just now, she would have ended up like Xu Sheng.
"Thank you......" Shen Mengyun came back to his senses, and just wanted to say something, but found that the blood under his feet had turned into a sea of blood at some point, and Ling Meng beside him was gone. She was sitting on the ground with her hands on the floor, and by the time she realized it, the blood had reached her knees.
Shen Mengyun saw that the blood in front of her was bubbling as if it had been boiled, and she looked around, intending to ask Lu Jie and the others for help.
However, before she could make any sound, the next second, a bloody hand reached out from in front of her, grabbed Shen Mengyun's long hair, and dragged her into the bloody water.
"Goo-dong"
A bubble bubbled on the surface of the water, and then, Shen Mengyun's figure sank to the bottom like a stone thrown into the river, and disappeared.
By the time the blood in the room had faded, everything had returned to its previous state. At this time, the room was empty, whether it was the boxes, Lu Jie and the others, they all disappeared. It was as if nothing had happened, and all that was left of the room was the old fan on the ceiling, still "creaking" and "creaking".
……
Lu Qing and the others didn't know anything about what happened to Lu Jie. They would not have thought that in the ranks of the Luo Sect, a Dream Breaker had already been killed.
