From the moment the movement outside the door sounded, Silent Yan could feel that Xu Zhen on the side was instantly quiet, as if someone had pressed a switch, he closed his mouth and didn't dare to come out honestly.
All the relaxation I had before is gone now.
Xu Zhen immediately remembered the things he had forgotten before, such as this is a haunted house, there is a ghost in this room, and the ghost will repeat the crime scene at four o'clock in the morning.
In this case, Xu Zhen felt that it was of little use. He felt that if he really encountered a ghost, it would be good for him not to lose his legs. What he needed to do most was to try not to hold back his legs as much as possible.
He waited for Silent Yan to give instructions, but saw that he did not speak for a while.
In the middle of the night, when the whole world was quiet, Xu Zhen didn't dare to speak out suddenly. He always felt that suddenly speaking out at such a time would have a particularly disturbing feeling.
Silent Yan actually looked at the clock placed on the desk under the window. Although it was not very clear against the moonlight, he could vaguely see the angle and length of the pointer.
"It's two in the morning," he said.
"Earlier?"
"Hard to say."
When Chen Guoyi was so sure that the incident happened at four in the morning, at two in the morning it was probably just the time for Father Chen to come back, and in the next two hours, Father Chen and Mother Chen had a dispute.
Xu Zhen was about to say if it was going to wait until four o'clock in the morning when he saw Silent Yan got up and got ready to get out of bed.
"Where are you going?" he asked quickly.
"Go and see what's going on."
Sometimes Xu Zhen really doesn't feel that he is timid. When facing this guy, he even has the feeling that he is a normal person.
Although the lights were turned off in the room, Chen Guoyi didn't fall asleep either. In this case, no one could really fall asleep. When he saw Si Siyan got out of bed, he quickly sat up, "I'll go with you."
Silent Yan originally just wanted to go out and have a look by himself, but when his eyes touched the girl who was sleeping on the bed, he stopped and agreed to the proposal.
Under normal circumstances, it is the best choice to let Xu Zhen stay in this room to protect Chen Guoyi, but now he doesn't know what role the girl plays in this fictional space. There is no way to deal with the current state.
If so, it is better to act together.
Both of them went out, and Xu Zhen naturally wouldn't stay in the room alone. He crept out of bed, and when he turned to look at Chen Guoyi, he saw that he was carefully pulling the girl to get up by him. Crumpled quilt.
Brothers and sisters separated by yin and yang...
Xu Zhen also has brothers. Although it is only separated by time and space, it cannot be said that it is separated by yin and yang, but he can still somewhat understand Chen Guoyi's mood at this moment. It is no wonder that when he mentioned the topic of his sister to Silentyan, he did not want to say more. .
Since he came to a strange world after getting the system, Xu Zhen will pay special attention when he speaks. He and everyone keep the most basic distance between people and people. Under normal circumstances, he will not blurt out such words without thinking at all. .
But when faced with Silent Yan, he would always relax subconsciously, always feeling that he had nothing to say, and Silent Yan always accepted the performance that belonged to him, as if he had such a personality in his eyes. .
He always felt that the other party had become acquainted with himself in a place he did not know.
It's a bad feeling.
It will make him a little envious of the one who knew each other first.
As soon as Silent Yan looked back, he saw Xu Zhenzheng slapped his face, with a very bitter expression on his face. In fact, Xu Zhenzheng was in disbelief at the kind of thought that had just arisen.
Fortunately, no one at the scene had the ability to read minds, and Silent Yan, the only one who knew his character, only thought that he was emboldening himself through self-abuse.
But the effect is still good, no matter what the reason is, Xu Zhen, who was surprised by his bold idea just now, really has no energy to be afraid.
The lights in the living room were turned off. After they pushed open the bedroom door, the moonlight in the bedroom lit up part of the space through the window, but it still couldn't illuminate all the places.
Except for the place where the moon was lucky enough to visit, it was pitch black, and every shadow could not clearly see what it was.
Fortunately, the room itself is not big, so there is so little space that a person can't see it.
So far, it seems that the evil spirit does have the ability to block their perception. They can't accurately measure where it is, who it has become, and when it will act. This is undoubtedly very deadly.
In such an atmosphere, everyone involuntarily held their breaths and consciously lightened their pace, especially when they came to the door of the master bedroom.
There are actually many careful methods here, but Silent Yan is trying to open the door directly. He is so direct, which saves the worrying time of the two people around him, but they still mention it because of his gesture of not saying hello. Take a breath.
However, the door still could not be opened, and it remained motionless.
"So it's still four o'clock in the morning?" Xu Zhen murmured.
As if in response to his words, there was clearly visible footsteps coming from the master bedroom across a door, and the footsteps were gradually approaching the door!
They immediately found a place to hide.
This house is really not big, even the living room can be small, the only place to hide is under the dining table and the toilet on the other side.
Although there is a tablecloth to cover the part of the dining table, the space is too small, and as long as the other party turns on the light, it is not a blind spot, and it is naturally not a good choice.
Their natural first reaction was to run to the toilet. Although they were farther away than the dining table, because of their timely response, they hid in the master bedroom before the door was opened.
Almost as soon as he hid it, Silent Yan realized that Chen Guoyi was running in the opposite direction to them. He was already hiding under the dining table at this time. Xu Zhen obviously found this too. He looked at Silent Yan, but saw him rushing towards him Shake your head.
It's good that only Chen Guoyi is hidden at this dining table. Chen Guoyi's body age at this time is younger than both of them. With the cover of tablecloth and chairs, as long as the hiding position is moved in time, the possibility of not being discovered is still very high. .
Even if it is discovered, it will not necessarily happen, because what this evil spirit wants is to reproduce the scene. If it simply wants to kill Chen Guoyi, why not take a more direct method.
After the door of the master bedroom was opened, the one who came out was Father Chen, who had just returned home. His face was unnaturally red, and his eyes wandered. At first glance, he drank too much, and he even walked a little. Not very stable.
He turned on the light in the living room, then walked straight to the kitchen, and then heard the sound of the refrigerator being opened.
At this time, another person came out of the room. This time, it was a woman. The woman was wearing a nightgown. She should not be too old, but she looked particularly old, and her eyes were impatient and angry.
She stood at the door of the kitchen and didn't go in, so she scolded the man who was looking for wine in the refrigerator, "You didn't want to tell me at all?!"
The man held the fresh beer in his hand, and immediately frowned when he heard the woman's voice, and after drinking the wine, his temperament seemed to be even more uncontrollable, "Why are you crazy, woman? "
"Ah."
The woman snorted coldly. She turned around and went back to the room. When she came back, she had a stack of paper in her hand. She seemed to have already understood the man's temperament. She didn't even hand it to him, but raised her hand. He smashed the stack of paper into the man's face.
She hit with a particularly heavy hand, and the smashed man subconsciously cursed. He raised his hand and wanted to hit, but the next second he saw the content on the paper.
If it were just words, he might not be able to react so quickly, but on this piece of paper are all printed photos.
He suddenly looked bad.
Seeing this, the woman sarcastically said, "You can't be convicted of cheating, so this should let you in, right?"
"Are you crazy?! This is going to be found out and you think you have nothing to do with it?"
"Why can't I get rid of it? It's not me who is doing this kind of business! If you want to go in, you go in! A scum like you should die in prison! Breathing the same air as you makes people feel sick!"
"You...!" The man stopped suddenly, he stared at the woman in front of him and laughed suddenly, "You know we breathe the same air, do you think you've never breathed that? Guess the police will investigate it. Do you think we are conspiring or what?"
The woman's face turned pale in an instant. She never felt that there was anything wrong with her body, nor did she have any addictive reactions in her daily life. Fake.
Seeing her like this, it was like hitting a whip to give a sweet date, the man suddenly softened his tone, changed his previous appearance and started to reason with her.
"I did this for this family, do you still want to be poor for the rest of your life?"
Who wants to be poor forever
"Aren't you curious where I spent all that money?"
When he said this, the woman really became curious.
These are conversations that have never been described by the girl or Chen Guoyi. At this time, seeing Father Chen groping out a box from his pocket, they couldn't help but set their eyes on the box.
As the lid of the box was lifted, so did the contents inside.
It was an emerald bead the size of a baby's fist, as if it had been deliberately made to be round, and even under the illumination of an indoor incandescent lamp, it was so crystal clear that it was hard to take your eyes off it.
Without waiting for the woman to speak, Xu Zhen grabbed Silent Yan's arm suddenly, he obviously recognized it.
"Do you remember that I mentioned the plot of this world to you?" Xu Zhen didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the theme, "That thing is the main story."
Xu Zhen never thought that it would not be mentioned in such a plot. It seems that there may be important items related to the main line of this world in an event that may not even be considered a branch line.
He knew that Silent Yan didn't have any memory related to the plot. Just when he was about to talk about this bead in detail, his cheeks suddenly cooled, as if something had dripped on his face.
Xu Zhen wiped his face and saw that Silent Yan's eyes seemed to be directly above him, so he also raised his head subconsciously.
"!!!"
His pupils shrank, and before he could make a sound, he was pulled over and covered his mouth by Silent Yan.
Hanging on the top of the dark toilet is a girl who should have been sleeping in her dream. Her neck was tied by a rope, her head drooped naturally, and she was dead. Only those eyes stared blankly ahead.
The blood dripped down the hem of the girl's skirt. The surroundings were too dark, but through the light from the living room, it could be seen that she had more than one stab wounds on her body.
"Don't panic, this is not a ghost."
Silence speaks to enlightenment.
"It's just a corpse."
