People like them have no sympathy for those from their own world, let alone NPCs from another world. Therefore, he sat in the living room as a matter of course, watching Lu Yanli busying about.
Huang Wei connected the recording to the TV, and everyone sat together to watch.
“This is the largest viewing area of the Ocean Park.” Lu Yanli’s voice came from the screen.
The picture moved, and it could be seen that Lu Yanli was walking along the glass wall. He seemed to be admiring this beautiful sea view. Then, he took a step back, presumably to let the camera capture the panoramic view.
“When I followed him before, I only went as far as the outside of the door, for fear of him finding out, so I didn’t know where he went to visit. That’s why I had to film all the scenery in the Ocean Park. I’m counting on you to judge.”
Lu Yanli muttered to himself as he stepped back. He seemed to adjust the strap of his satchel to aim the camera at the glass wall.
A sea turtle that had lived for who knows how long slowly swam past.
It must be said that Lu Yanli’s photography skills were still good. If they didn’t consider the current urgent situation, everyone would probably be able to appreciate the beautiful scenery he had captured.
But now… who wants to look at the scenery?
In order not to skip any key information, they had to sit down and watch carefully, for fear of missing any clues.
After about five or six minutes, the sound of stir-frying from the kitchen came, and the TV screen finally intended to switch to another scene.
The camera screen swayed with the owner’s walking. Unfortunately, the Ocean Park was empty and gloomy. Today was also a working day, and he didn’t run into a single person.
It was as if… as if something was about to happen in the next moment.
It seemed like there was music playing in the Ocean Park.
A soft female voice, an unknown dialect, a song never heard before… made people fascinated as soon as they heard it.
Lu Yanli seemed oblivious, still looking around, but the faint singing he recorded had already entangled everyone’s minds.
So sad…
The pain, sadness, and unwillingness of being betrayed…
Why treat me like this? Why? What did I do wrong?
Why do I have to endure this? Why can’t I live a peaceful life?
The people in front of the TV were completely immersed in the woman’s painful and sad singing.
Finally, at the end of the lyrics, there appeared lyrics they could understand.
Those were three words that appeared repeatedly:
Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell, go to hell…
In the kitchen, the sound of chopping vegetables gradually overlapped with the singing, superimposed into a strange rhythm.
Lu Yanli didn’t seem to hear the singing outside. There were tears in his eyes, but in the pocket of his close-fitting clothes, the bus ticket was faintly hot.
Another bus ticket has been invalidated…
Lu Yanli was busy stir-frying. After a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes was ready, he pushed open the kitchen door and carefully placed the plate on the table, and then blew on his reddened hand.
The living room had completely changed. Except for Li Fangwan, who was still sitting in place, everyone else was crying and wailing.
One person’s limbs were already a little stiff.
Lu Yanli dodged the crazed people who were about to smash their heads on the floor and came to the TV.
The camera, which had originally only been filming scenes of various scenic spots, was suddenly raised, and then the camera was aimed at Lu Yanli’s own face.
That familiar face showed a smile on the screen: “Did you hear it?”
“Pa.”
Lu Yanli turned off the TV and casually picked up a vase from the side and smashed it hard on the TV.
In an instant, the glass shattered.
He Lou shook his head. He was the first to wake up. After recalling what had just happened, his pupils shrank: “Did the singing appear again just now?”
“Yes. Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. The next song is likely to be…” Lu Yanli didn’t say it clearly.
“I was stir-frying in the kitchen just now, and I didn’t hear the singing. Later, it became louder and louder, so I hurried out to turn off the TV.” Lu Yanli’s face was a little pale, and the corners of his eyes were red with tears. He was obviously also affected.
“Is everyone okay?”
According to the information he searched, Lan Zhiyu was not raising little ghosts at all. What she was raising was a Jiangshi!
This couldn’t help but remind He Lou of the zombie movies he had watched when he was a child.
The person whose limbs were gradually stiffening and whose face was turning blue was Huang Wei. He Lou, Li Fangzhi, and Feng Chuchu held him down, controlling him in the sun. The latter was panting heavily and struggling constantly.
On his outstretched hands, his nails were gradually turning black and sharp…
Lu Yanli also responded loudly: “No!”
“Hurry up!”
“Soon! It’ll be ready soon.”
As he said that, Lu Yanli had already found a bag of glutinous rice: “Glutinous rice found! How to use it?”
“Sprinkle it directly! Aim!”
Lu Yanli ran over in a hurry with a large bag of glutinous rice, grabbed a handful and sprinkled it on Huang Wei’s head.
Like pouring a few drops of water on hot oil, sizzling sounds kept ringing.
Seeing that it was useful, Lu Yanli quickly sprinkled more, from head to toe. The white glutinous rice sprinkled on the stiff human body suddenly emitted white smoke, and the sizzling sound never stopped. When it fell on the ground, it had turned into a pitch-black unknown object.
“Continue! Quick!”
He Lou breathed a sigh of relief.
Now it seems that the method provided by that person is correct.
Hearing him speak, He Lou was truly relieved. Several people stood up, patted the dust off their bodies, and looked at Huang Wei, who was lying on the floor panting.
“I feel much better now, but I still feel a little uncomfortable. I’ll bask in the sun here for a while.” Huang Wei said weakly.
Lu Yanli brought him a chair and then took the broom to sweep up the scattered glutinous rice on the ground.
To be honest, being an NPC to this extent made Huang Wei feel a little uneasy.
“Sure, do you eat spicy food? Are there any taboos? I’m afraid the food I make won’t suit your taste.” Lu Yanli smiled gently.
He was always very patient with dying people.
“Anything is fine.” Huang Wei had already smelled a bit of the fragrance of the food and felt that it shouldn’t be too bad.
What’s more, could it be worse than moldy bread covered with maggots?
Perhaps it was an aftereffect, but Huang Wei always felt that the sun was particularly dazzling, but when he thought of the Jiangshi being afraid of the sun, he forced himself to sit in the sun, turning around from time to time to ensure that his whole body could enjoy sufficient sunbathing.
The recording definitely couldn’t be watched anymore, so He Lou could only ask the person involved.
Lu Yanli was also very confused and said, “But… I didn’t hear the singing when I was in the Ocean Park.”
Then… where did this singing come from?
Lu Yanli’s answer made several people feel a little cold in their hearts, especially Huang Wei. He almost turned into a Jiangshi, and he still didn’t have any strength in his body. If he inadvertently heard the singing again, he would definitely be the first to transform!
“Didn’t you encounter anything unusual in the Ocean Park?”
Lu Yanli shook his head: “No, there were very few people in the Ocean Park today. I basically didn’t meet anyone. I went around all the places, and even went to the men’s restroom before coming back.”
After a tasteless meal, the hour hand slowly turned to two o’clock.
According to the pattern discovered by Lu Yanli, the neighbor should be going out.
He… no, it, will it see the corpse at the door?
He Lou was not sure about the species of the upstairs neighbor. He didn’t dare to open the door rashly to confirm, so he asked everyone to listen against the wall.
With a “bang,” the sound of the door closing, neither light nor heavy, reached their ears.
Did he go out?
Lu Yanli’s door was facing the elevator entrance. Feng Chuchu was called by He Lou to look outside through the peephole.
He saw the figure of that person leaving in big strides, carrying an unusually large bag on his back.
Hearing this, He Lou and the others immediately gathered by the window to watch the tightly wrapped black figure leave.
For some reason, He Lou always felt that this figure was a bit familiar.
“Gone? Is he really gone?”
Feng Chuchu glanced at the peephole again. This glance made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he fell heavily to the ground.
“Then why… why is it still red when looking through the peephole?”
“Red? What red?” Lu Yanli walked over in surprise and glanced at the peephole quickly, “No, are you seeing things?”
As he spoke, Lu Yanli looked directly into Feng Chuchu’s eyes, his voice with a hint of strangeness.
“Impossible, I clearly saw it just now… I saw…” Yes, what did I see?
Feng Chuchu shook his head: “Maybe I’m really too stressed, I must have seen it wrong.”
“Okay.”
Now Feng Chuchu couldn’t help but feel a little grateful to Lu Yanli.
He was a little stupid, but he was really too kind.
Feng Chuchu couldn’t help but ask: “Won’t people bully you in your usual life like this?”
He said it too seriously, so that Feng Chuchu didn’t know whether this sentence was sincere or sarcastic. Seeing that there was nothing to do for the time being, he really turned around and went back to his room to sleep.
Lu Yanli’s previous observations were not wrong. At five o’clock in the afternoon, that figure appeared in the community on time. The difference was that the large package he was carrying was gone.
On the third floor, several people squatted behind the curtains, watching the figure walk towards the apartment.
This time, Feng Chuchu refused to look through the peephole, and everyone listened against the wall. They heard another bang, the sound of the door closing.
Night came quietly.
Huang Wei had been basking in the sun all afternoon and felt that he was about to get tanned, but he was still a little worried and planned to continue basking in the moonlight on the balcony of the living room.
Moonlight is also a reflection of sunlight, it should be useful… right?
“Brother Huang? Brother Huang?”
Everyone couldn’t leave the house, and Huang Wei didn’t know where he went early in the morning. Feng Chuchu called out in a low voice, but he searched every room and couldn’t find anyone.
He felt a burst of panic for no reason and shook Lu Yanli, who was sleeping on the sofa, awake.
“Did you see Huang Wei?”
“Huang… Huang Wei is gone?” Lu Yanli was dazed for a moment and suddenly widened his eyes.
“Yes, he’s gone.”
Hearing this, Feng Chuchu immediately dialed Huang Wei’s phone number.
“Love you even if I die…”
