Chapter 15

He Lou vaguely understood Lu Yanli’s hidden meaning, and his mood was complicated.

But at least He Lou and the Li sisters had survived safely until now, which meant that Lu Yanli didn’t want to kill them for the time being, or perhaps it was because they still had some value to him.

The roles of hunter and prey reversed, and He Lou’s mood was complicated.

Master Lin didn’t speak, ignoring the personal grudges that had erupted before him. After hearing Lu Yanli’s inquiry, he slowly raised his hand and shook the brass bell in his palm.

“Ding Ling—”

But the worry was unnecessary. It steadily advanced towards the wide-open room 405.

At the same time, the prematurely aged Master Lin slowly closed his eyes, using its eyes to scan the interior environment.

“It is no longer here.”

The room was empty except for bloodstains.

He Lou pressed on, “Then why is there an extra floor in this building?”

The next second, he recoiled as if burned, and a hint of shock appeared on his usually indifferent face.

“This inside is…” His tone was filled with uncontrollable shock.

*

City center, Lan Zhiyu Ocean Park.

It was Guan Yunlong, the resident of 405.

His movements didn’t stop. After taking off his hat, he unzipped his jacket, followed by his short-sleeved shirt, long pants, and underwear. Soon, he was completely naked.

At the same time, inside the wall, the calm water surface suddenly fluctuated violently.

The corpse slowly floated to the surface, snatched up and swallowed by several fish. Then, those fish swam into the distance, and when they were far enough away, they all rushed towards the glass wall at once, crashing into the wall with a “thump.”

He stood quietly in place. As the blood flowed out, he seemed to be a deflated balloon, his skin rapidly shriveling. In the end, the figure standing in front of the glass wall was no different from a mummy, its bones protruding, covered only by a thin layer of skin.

But the mummy’s abdomen gradually swelled.

*

“We must go there!”

He opened his eyes. The Jiangshi who had entered the room to investigate had returned at some point, standing quietly behind him, his arms stiffly raised, his toes on tiptoe, exuding a cold and decaying stench.

Junior sister Li looked calm, as if she had already accepted her destined death.

He looked around, feeling that something was wrong.

What exactly was it?

He Lou took it, turned to ask Master Lin, “Can I watch it?”

That meant it was okay.

He Lou asked Lu Yanli again, “Aren’t you going with them?”

Lu Yanli curled his lips. “I said, I want to live.”

Why would he run to the Ocean Park?

To die?

As long as these people left, he would be safe.

He Lou didn’t really want to stay with Lu Yanli, but he couldn’t leave the apartment. Currently, only Lu Yanli’s apartment was habitable. The other rooms looked like they had been swept by a hurricane, covered in bloodstains.

“Let’s go, let’s watch the recording together.”

Lu Yanli frowned. “I was just about to ask that question.”

Li Fangzhi frowned as well.

They felt like they were missing something.

What were they missing?

Li Fangzhi shook her head. “Forget it, I can’t think of it now. Let’s watch the recordings first, we’ll watch them together.” Li Fangzhi knew that He Lou had also installed recording equipment in the living room in his own way.

The weather was very bad today, it seemed like it was going to rain. Dark clouds were low, ominously gloomy.

It was a song that had never been heard before, a beautiful and enchanting song that could awaken the most beautiful yearnings in people’s hearts, that could take people to a state of bliss, that could penetrate all obstacles and reach people’s ears.

No matter what you were doing, you couldn’t escape the call of this song.

Street shops, high-rise office areas, residential buildings, parks… more and more people heard the song.

How wonderful…

People’s faces flushed, and their smiles gradually widened.

It was so wonderful that even if they died in the song the next second, it would be worth it.

A blood fog gradually spread, and everyone in the city put down their work and surged in this direction. They wore fascinated smiles on their faces, their eyes gradually losing their luster, becoming dull. They walked onto the streets, staggering as they followed the figure.

*

The moment the song rang out, the three people sitting on the sofa watching the recording reacted quickly, closing the windows, drawing the curtains, and turning on the lights, completely sealing off the entire house, plugging their ears with earplugs, and turning on all the computers and stereos, playing various kinds of music, trying to block the ubiquitous music and blood fog.

But it didn’t help much.

“What to do?”

They stood at the window, watching the endless stream of people below, and a chill rose in their hearts.

This question was not only among the three of them, but also between the two Taoists.

She looked up at the sky. In the space that ordinary people could not see, blood-colored mist was constantly gathering.

Li Fangwan, or rather Lan Zhiyu, had already entered the Ocean Park.

The mummy standing in front of the Ocean Park slowly turned around, revealing its swollen abdomen. His hands were still on his back, and with a strong pull, the human skin was pulled open like gauze. He opened his back skin like opening a zipper, revealing a long opening.

Strangely, there were no bones or flesh inside.

Time was short. These were the ones she hadn’t been able to digest yet, so she could only store them in the extra floor between the third and fourth floors.

The floor that Master Lin had sensed just now was the place she used to store provisions!

At this moment, Lu Yanli was sitting on the sofa, trying to concentrate, his eyes fixed on the recording, his handsome face a little red and swollen, as if someone had beaten him.

“Do you think… they… will… win?”

Li Fangzhi struggled to utter a sentence. She felt like she wanted to laugh again. She pinched a needle in her hand and stabbed it hard into her thigh, regaining some clarity in her eyes.

He Lou didn’t answer. Instead, Lu Yanli laughed. Li Fangzhi’s eyes lit up, thinking that she could take revenge again, but Lu Yanli struggled to sit further away. “It doesn’t matter if they can’t win…”

“Let’s all die together.”

He glanced at He Lou and Li Fangzhi, thinking that it was better to die with these two than to be with those idiots before.

“By the way, when… will you… be able to leave?”

He Lou wasn’t surprised that he knew there was a time limit for this mission. He took a deep breath, “Midnight on the seventh day.”

“…That’s, there are still two days.”

Lu Yanli was a little distracted.

Now, Lan Zhiyu’s sacrifices should be enough. The three of them were not important people, so Lan Zhiyu wouldn’t necessarily have to eat the three of them.

As long as they could survive for two days.

Survive for two days…

Where could they hide?
