Chapter 19: [Prayer for Rain] Headless corpses

"Save ...... Help me...... Uh-uh......"

The man called for help at the guest house, but responded to his ...... There is only dead silence.

Ning Qiushui got out of bed carefully, came to the wooden door, locked the wooden door, and then walked to the window step by step, looking below through the cold moonlight.

He saw a dark figure stumbling out of the woods, his hand scratching at his neck!

It's the man who called for help!

The man screamed for help at the guest house, scratching his neck frantically, as if ...... There's something like that.

He tried to reach out to the guest house, but it seemed to be uncontrollably withdrawn, and he continued to scratch his neck!

The whole person only kept turning around in the courtyard, and it seemed that there was no way to get close to the guest house.

The man's screams became more and more miserable, and the scalp tingled when he heard it!

But all the time, no one in the guest house went out to save him.

Maybe no one heard.

But even if anyone hears it, no one dares to save him.

Everyone knows what a terrifying place the world behind the Blood Gate is!

If you rashly go out to save people, not only may you not be able to save people, but you will also bury yourself!

Finally, after about ten minutes, the man outside stopped screaming.

originally thought that the matter would end here, but the next scene made Ning Qiushui's eyes widen and he almost screamed!

He saw that in the white moonlight, the man in the open space of the courtyard was kneeling on the ground, and with the force of his hands, he actually ripped his head off alive!

A large amount of blood spurted out, and it was as high as the second floor!

What's even more terrifying is that after tearing off his head, the man is not dead, and his mouth is still making a terrible cry for help:

"It hurts...... Save me...... Please...... Help me......"

"It hurts...... I'm in so much pain......"

"Why...... No one came to save me...... Why ......"

As he spoke, he suddenly lifted his bloody head and slowly turned to the guest house, as if he was looking at it one by one!

Ning Qiushui keenly withdrew his gaze for the first time and returned to his bed step by step!

He felt his heart beating so fast!

It wasn't until much later that there was no movement outside.

And Ning Qiushui finally fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, Ning Qiushui was woken up by a knock outside the door.

When he got up and opened the door, it was Bai Xiaoxiao, who was already dressed.

She was still the same, with almost no makeup on her face, just a touch of bright lip red.

"After getting dressed and having breakfast, we go to the nearest spot and maybe find useful clues about how to get around."

Ning Qiushui nodded and didn't say much.

He quickly got dressed, and when he went downstairs, he saw Liu and Bai already waiting at the door.

There was already a large crowd of people around here.

Ning Qiushui counted and frowned suddenly.

3 people less.

Did you leave first, or didn't you get out of bed?

Or ......

"What's wrong?"

Coming to Liu and Bai's side, Ning Qiushui asked.

Neither of them spoke, Bai Xiaoxiao picked it with her delicate chin, and motioned for Ning Qiushui to look at the open space in the courtyard in the distance.

There, a corpse lay there.

Flesh and blood blur.

No head.

It was the man Ning Qiushui saw last night.

He pushed through the whispering crowd and walked towards the corpse.

The man's head was gone, only the headless corpse remained, the neck was full of crimson scratches, and there was still a lot of scrap of flesh on the nails of his fingers!

"Do any of you know him?"

Ning Qiushui suddenly turned around and asked the crowd.

At this time, a little girl in the crowd stood up, her face pale, and replied softly and weakly:

"He, he's like my friend...... But I'm not sure, because his head is missing. ”

Ning Qiushui beckoned to her.

"Then come over and take a closer look."

When the girl heard this, she panicked, and hurriedly waved her hand, and her tone was crying:

"No...... I, I'm not going to ......"

Ning Qiushui was speechless.

But after thinking about it, I seem to be relieved.

This is his second blood door, so most of the others who are matched are newcomers.

Seeing such a tragic corpse for the first time, it is estimated that the reaction will not be very good.

At this time, it seemed that someone in the crowd had pushed the girl, and she screamed, staggered a few steps forward, and fell to her knees in front of the headless corpse!

The girl hurriedly covered her eyes, not daring to look at the corpse in front of her.

Fortunately, after a night of wind blowing, the smell of blood from this corpse was not so strong, otherwise Ning Qiushui would be worried that this girl would vomit it directly!

He got up, stood at an angle, and said to the girl who was covering her eyes:

"Okay, I've helped you block the bloody part, can you confirm his identity now by looking at his clothes and other details?"

When the girl heard this, she carefully opened a finger, and after looking at it for a few seconds, she nodded and said in a trembling voice:

"Yes...... It's him! ”

Ning Qiushui frowned.

Really.

It was the people in them who died.

"What did he do yesterday, you know?"

The girl took a deep breath, and it took a long time to calm her fear.

"Last night...... He, he wanted me to go with him to the temple in the mountain behind the village, and he said that the NPC named Hou Kong wouldn't let us go to that place, it must be because the way of life was there, but I was scared, so I didn't go......"

"He went alone, and after that...... Didn't come back since! ”

Temple?

Hearing her words, Liu Chengfeng's face in the crowd turned pale.

Apparently, he had thought that way before.

It's just that because of Bai Xiaoxiao's obstruction, he didn't put his ideas into practice.

Otherwise......

There is probably one more headless corpse in the clearing now!

"See, this is what happens when you act rashly at night......"

Bai Xiaoxiao's voice was very soft, but it made Liu Chengfeng beside him shudder suddenly.

"Alright, let's go to the cafeteria for dinner."

She yawned lightly, and when she had finished speaking, she led the way out of the guest house, bypassing the corpse, towards the end of the village cafeteria.

Someone in the crowd behind him glared and said:

"No, the corpse is here...... In spite of? ”

Bai Xiaoxiao didn't reply:

"If you have the heart, you can bury him, but it's all pointless."

"Within the Blood Gate, the dead...... The corpse will soon be gone. ”

After Ning Qiushui carefully inspected the corpse, he seemed to have found something, took out something from the corpse's clothes, quietly hid it in his palm, and then stood up, followed Bai Xiaoxiao and Liu Chengfeng, and went to the cafeteria......
