Chapter Forty-Eight: Betrayal and Killing: Red Act IV

The tall, fast-paced man strode forward with the men behind him, much shorter than him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The door that should have been locked with the internal security lock was locked from the outside. The two of them didn't open the door with great effort, so they had to give up.

As he passed by the window on his return, the shorter man behind him turned his head to look out the window, and the sky was already dark, leaving only a glimmer of light shining on the earth, making everything look like a shadow.

Especially in the grove behind the house, the canopy of the trees fluttering in the wind, and the rain fell on it and into the dirt below. The trunks of the trees, which were not very closely arranged, looked damp and gloomy at the moment, causing those who watched them to shudder a little.

"What's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing."

Slightly flustered, the person behind him quickly withdrew his gaze and followed the footsteps of the person in front.

"The door won't open, how can we get out? In case the murderer ......"

"Don't worry," he was interrupted in the middle of his words, and the side face of the man in front of him looked calm and seemed a little cold.

He continued lightly and calmly: "I know of another exit, which I accidentally discovered when I regained consciousness just now, you just follow me!" ”

"Oh......"

Although his mouth was answering, in the depths of the eyes of the person in front of him, fear condensed like a dark cloud, and his eyes once again glanced at the space where someone was hidden, and unconsciously brought a hint of pleading.

The man who was walking in a hurry stopped abruptly, and searched around as if to determine the direction of something.

As soon as he pulled the shrunken figure behind him closer to him, parallel to it, he turned his head to the big beautiful eyes, and immediately his face was dyed a faint red color.

The beautiful eyes mixed with sadness and fear were still misty at this time, as if there would be droplets of water slipping down anytime and anywhere, and they were especially beautiful on the fair and delicate face, and the small and slightly plump lips had been bitten red by the teeth, which was very attractive.

But their owners are unaware of this, and they are still putting on some seductive and criminal expressions, consciously or unconsciously.

The man was a little stunned for a moment, but he quickly adjusted, he still had a lot of things to solve now, and he couldn't take care of them.

Moreover, there is always a little bad premonition haunting his heart, which makes him a little afraid of the people around him.

Turning his head, he also looked at the space that the people around him were looking at just now, although his vision was blocked by the wall, he could still see a little bit vaguely, and there should be no one in sight there.

He had just walked back and forth, and he should have looked at that place too, but he couldn't see anyone, and everything that should have been dealt with had already been dealt with, so there was nothing to worry about. ’

It was a last resort to make him feel at ease to follow me, but now that I think about it, I ought not have been so merciful, I ought to have thrown him with that sinister fat man, and let their life-hungry and death-fearing people taste what real horror is.

However, after thinking about it, the man also knew that the person he was thinking about was not on the same level as the sinister fat man, and it was impossible to be killed simply.

The murderer who appeared in the stairwell in the middle of last night should not be the mastermind of all the murderers, although he was stabbed unexpectedly, but looking at his panicked appearance when he encountered his fierce resistance, he was more like a fledgling accomplice.

Now, the most important thing is to hide the news that someone around him has died, and take him out of the house smoothly.

But what happens when you take it out? The secret passage I know leads to the woods behind the house, so it will be difficult to escape from the woods and then bypass the house in the direction of the bridge.

First, the bridge has been broken, unless there is another way down the mountain, otherwise the two of them can only hide and wait for rescue, but the chance of waiting for the people down the mountain to come up and find them is too slim.

Second, now that the woods behind the house are dark, there is no way to hide the murderer in the house, whether it is the old secret room or the newly built part, it has been more or less explored.

The murderer will either continue to hide in a secret room or secret passage in the Bird's House with the idea that 'the most dangerous place is also the safest place', or he will only hide in the dark grove behind the house.

Therefore, the danger of them rashly entering the woods behind the house can be imagined.

Wait, though......

The man suddenly had a brilliant idea, which made him more than willing to risk his life and go into the grove with the people around him. Anyway, you always have to try things first, don't you?

Having made up his mind, the man deliberately distanced himself from the cute little sheep around him, and stopped holding his hand.

Instead, he walked forward a few times, and said in an obviously nervous and impatient tone: "Don't look around, let's go quickly!" The murderer is coming, we all have to die! ”

The trembling of the people behind him could almost be felt in the air around him, but the man didn't want to look back, and he didn't want to comfort him, it was more important than these deaths.

"Can you ...... Let me go see him...... I don't feel at ease......" The person behind him begged in a small voice.

"What!?" The man was very surprised, and turned his head suddenly, "You don't want to die!" Didn't you just say it well?! ”

"No, I'm afraid he ......" The tears on the little face hung down, and the people behind him were flushed and panicked.

"Either hurry up and follow me, or you stay here and solve it yourself, I don't care!"

The man was so angry that he was about to leave, and he yelled impatiently at the people behind him, with a look of anger and helplessness, and his eyes kept glancing in fear at the door where the murderer might come out.

Seeing the man's steps, perhaps really afraid of being abandoned here by a person, the person behind him hurriedly ran up and grabbed the man's hand again, and stammered while following the trot: "Don't... Don't leave me ......"

The two of them quickly disappeared into a strange place in the spacious space, and when they entered, one of them secretly reached out and pressed it somewhere behind them, seemingly unsteady.

But when his hand left, a small, shiny patch of something was evident in the place, revealing a tiny bits of white in the light.

――――

The not-so-pretty, somewhat chubby woman walked among the green trees, still holding in her hand what she thought she could do.

The thin thing was half clawed in the palm of his hand, half wet by the rain, and fluttered slightly with the cool breeze of the night.

The woman who originally wanted to inform the outdoor people directly of the news was full of chagrin and anger on her face at the moment.

Where the hell did these people go? ’

They were only away for a while, and they ran away, but where could they go? The woman asked herself.

She craned her shoulders, a chill coming over her. muttered: "Why is it early summer, and it's still so cold!" ”

The woman's hands were raised and she pulled the collar of the thin garment, only to find that the important thing was still in the palm of her hand.

Just now I was looking for someone, I forgot about it, and looking at the soaked things in my palms, the woman unintentionally wiped a handful of rain from her face.

'She's so pretty......

blurted out a word of admiration, and the woman strangely discovered something that she had not noticed all along, that is, someone was actually beautiful, much better than she had imagined.

There was a trace of sourness in my heart inexplicably, why was my love so dangerous and difficult, and I had to endure deception and betrayal, but their love was so unswerving, and the sea was rotten.

Little by little, the sore pain grew wider, and the woman leaned on the trunk of the nearest tree with exhaustion, and her face began to damp again.

But this time she didn't know if the water was coming from heaven or from her own eyes......

"Hey! Why are you here?! ”

There was a calm, deep male voice in my ears, the kind that most girls would like.

The voice made the woman jump, and she turned her head in surprise, the panic in her eyes fleeting.

"You... I've been looking for you...... I thought you didn't care about me, scared to death......"

The woman's words unconsciously carried a hint of coquettishness, and she didn't know why she had this emotion, probably because of panic, the woman comforted herself like this.

The man who found her looked distressed, his brows gaunted, but he was still handsome, and although not as charming as the man trapped in the house, he was the best of his kind.

The woman was slightly stupid, and the water on her face couldn't help but be more.

"I'm sorry, we didn't want to leave you, not to mention that you risked your life to save me just now, we just found a safe hole in the river bank under the rope bridge and hid in it first."

"I've been looking for you, quick! Come with me. ”

The handsome man ran over and grabbed the woman's right hand, which was still pinching, and he immediately noticed what was half-pinched.

"What are you holding?" Looking at the things in the woman's hand, the handsome man asked strangely.

His eyes were staring straight at the thing, his eyes drooping, and the woman couldn't see his face clearly.

It was almost dark, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and in the icy rain, a man and a woman walked hand in hand, hunched over their waists, hiding in the bushes on either side of the house.

They were still muttering something, and it looked like the woman in the back was telling the tall man in front of him something, and the man's face was looking forward with a deep sad look.

Except for the occasional answer to a woman's question, the man barely spoke, he kept looking ahead, the rain had drenched his hair and clothes, but he seemed unaware, still immersed in his own thoughts.
