Chapter 6: Devouring

Cheng Ming stared blankly at the water shadow in front of him who was about to pinch him, and there was an inexplicable chill in his heart, as if he was really going to be choked by this water shadow and he would die.

He couldn't help but feel ridiculous at his ridiculous idea, but his body instinctively stepped back, and he distanced himself from the Mizukage again.

At the same time, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"Knock knock!"

With the sound of the door, the water shadow that had been drifting towards Cheng Ming unhurriedly finally stopped, and then gradually disappeared in the vast mist.

Cheng Ming didn't notice the disappearance of the water shadow, because his attention at this time was attracted by the sudden sound of the door, and just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, the person outside the door took the first step and said:

"Dude, my stomach hurts, can you hurry up?"

Cheng Ming heard who the owner of this voice was, it was a man named Xu Tianming, a tenant who moved in after him, and was currently living in the bedroom next to him, and they had both symbolically introduced each other before.

"That's good." Cheng Ming replied loudly, then raised his hand to turn off the shower head that was spraying water "whoosh", planning to wash it later.

Cheng Ming didn't dry his body carefully, he put a towel around his waist and pushed the door and walked out, seeing him come out, Xu Tianming hurriedly covered his stomach and rushed in.

Cheng Ming turned his head and glanced at the bathroom at this time, and said in his heart that this kind of shared house is inconvenient, even the toilet is grabbed by you, and you can't stop going to the toilet.

When it was almost dark, Xiao Mo and the others rushed to the Yuyang community. I thought it was a small community of half size, but who would have thought that this community was so big that it was divided into four districts of ABCD, each with no less than ten residential buildings.

Standing at the door of the Yuyang community, Xiao Mo suddenly felt a little headache with a calm face, with the strength of these few people, it was obviously unrealistic to want to go through the community in a short time. But if they don't try to walk around and see, they don't have a good way to do it at the moment.

After all, the hint of this incident gave them almost no clues to refer to.

Seeing Xiao Mo standing by the door of the community and looking like he couldn't enter, Li Shuai couldn't help but ask:

"Xiao Mozi, if you can't get in, it's a word, we didn't come here to work as security guards."

Xiao Mo looked back at Li Shuai speechlessly, and then he said to everyone with some apologies:

"I miscalculated the size of this Yuyang community, it is difficult for a few of us to visit it completely, and the police have also done this kind of thing, even if we repeat it again, it may be in vain."

"Maybe it's the interference of the event, but if it were us, we would have found out." Wang Zi interjected uncertainly.

Xiao Mo also agreed with Wang Zi's speculation. But still, he said:

"From the words of the policeman, it is not difficult for us to judge that all the missing people are renting houses, and we don't know how many houses are rented in this Yuyang community, and it is undoubtedly a waste of time and energy to ask blindly.

Let's go back and help the police find out how many tenants there are in the community. In addition, as long as it is a supernatural event, there will definitely be dead or missing people in the process of occurring. The reason why the police have not received such a report recently. It is very likely that the victims of this incident were not missing but were also killed.

In other words - the incident is not really the beginning, so we still have time for them to intervene in the investigation for the time being. ”

"It seems that this is the only way to do it for now." Wang Zi nodded and accepted Xiao Mo's suggestion.

The others didn't have much of an opinion after hearing this, after all, the decision-making power among them was generally in the hands of these two people.

Xu Tianming clutched his stomach and returned to his and Chen Yang's bedroom in pain, and sat on Chen Yang's bed as soon as he came in. At this time, Chen Yang was leaning against the head of the bed. He was concentrating on reading a skill book closely related to his current profession, and Xu Tianming's sudden wail obviously interfered with him.

He put down the book and raised his eyes to glance at Xu Tianming. As a roommate for the next two months, he felt the need to care for each other, so he asked:

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know what to eat. I've been hurting since I came back, and I'm dying of pain. Xu Tianming said quite painfully.

"If you have diarrhea, I seem to have medicine here, you wait, I'll find it for you." Chen Yang got up and was going to find medicine for Xu Tianming.

Seeing this, Xu Tianming's heart warmed, and he subconsciously refused:

"Don't bother, I guess I'll be fine...... Oops. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Tianming screamed in pain again, and hurriedly got up and ran out. When Chen Yang took out the medicine for diarrhea from his duffel bag, Xu Tianming had long since disappeared from the bedroom.

Xu Tianming hurriedly ran into the bathroom, and as soon as he came in, he couldn't help but curse again, because the narrow interior was filled with damp mist, and he had to slip under his feet and hang without stepping into the dung pit.

Xu Tianming squatted down, knowing in his heart that this must be a good thing done by that kid named Cheng Ming, he really had to boil the water so hot, and then laboriously poured cold water into it.

But this fog is indeed very strange, because it has been so long, it should have dissipated a long time ago, but in fact, it was more and more, and he squatted for a while before he was completely enveloped in the fog.

At this moment, Xu Tianming's heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable palpitations, and the mist that spread from all around him somehow seemed to have weights, weighing him all over, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

He felt like he was about to suffocate.

Xu Tianming didn't dare to continue squatting, because it was very likely that he would die of lack of oxygen, he tried to stand up and rush out, but because his legs were weak and he was strained, he couldn't stand up.

The feeling of suffocation became heavier, Xu Tianming's vision had even become blurred, and he struggled to open his mouth to call for help, but at this critical juncture, a blurry almost invisible hand suddenly stretched out from the mist and pinched it on his open mouth.

Xu Tianming struggled violently a few times at first, but soon, his body was motionless.

Only in the bathroom, a humanoid fog shadow that began to dissipate was left, as for Xu Tianming...... It's completely gone!

Cheng Ming came out of the bedroom more than once, and then stared at the bathroom door, but the door was kept tightly closed, which showed that the people inside still had no intention of coming out.

He lifted the bowl and looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, if he didn't wash it again, then he wouldn't have to wash it today.

Cheng Ming stood in front of the door and hesitated, and finally decided to knock on the door and remind the buddies inside to hurry up, after all, he was already very tolerant here.

"Knock...... Hey? ”

Cheng Ming only knocked once, and the door of the bathroom slowly opened with a "creak", and he looked inside suspiciously, there was obviously no one inside!

"I'm really making a problem for myself."

Cheng Ming muttered self-deprecatingly, then hurriedly pushed the door and walked in, if he didn't hurry up, who knew if someone would rob him.

After the water in the water heater was left for more than an hour, the water temperature had basically dropped, and he took off his clothes and pants and stood under the bath head to rinse it quickly.

It's just that he didn't notice that the mist in the bathroom began to thicken again.

Chen Yang read in the bedroom until nearly 12 o'clock, but this time he didn't pay attention, because more than two hours had passed since Xu Tianming entered the bathroom, and he should have climbed out even if he had fallen inside for so long.

Chen Yang was a little puzzled in his heart, for some reason he suddenly remembered the dark green liquid that exuded a strange smell. He subconsciously sniffed it with his nose, and this smell couldn't help but frown, because he actually smelled the disgusting smell again.

"Aren't they all wiped clean, why are they still there?"

Chen Yang's strange expression was mixed with a little confusion, and he leaned down again, looking towards the position close to the corner.

Sure enough, a puddle of that strange-smelling liquid reappeared.

Chen Yang stared at the liquid for a while, this time not only did it smell uncomfortable, but even his body became uncomfortable, as if when he looked at the pool of liquid, the pool of liquid was also looking at himself! (To be continued......)
