Three people died in four days, which cast a shadow on everyone's hearts, and the reduction of three people, the most intuitive problem is that the work of the dead needs to be replaced by others.
When Yang Qi died, Su Xiaoqian took over her job and cleaned the room for her.
Fortunately, for the next two days, the villa was calm and the hostess did not arrange any other work.
On the morning of the seventh day, Bai Yan found an opportunity to ask the hostess a question he had always wanted to know. Because he was afraid that the hostess would think of something, he didn't dare to ask this question earlier, and he didn't try to ask it until today.
"Ma'am, where are the employees who left early?"
"Didn't I say it earlier? They've all been fired." The hostess looked at Bai Yan's face, thinking she understood what he meant, she couldn't help but smiled and said, "Don't worry, you've all been working for seven days. No money will be given. Even if someone makes a mistake today, I will not drive him away. Those who were fired, as long as they did not commit petty theft, I also gave them a little money. I said that no payment is to scare you, and I am afraid of you. Don't worry about work."
"That's how it is, madam, you are really kind-hearted."
After the hostess finished the routine, Bai Yan talked about it during the noon gathering.
"We guessed right before. The ghost brought back by the host and hostess changed the memories of the husband and wife. The host and hostess probably didn't know that they were dead, and those who died were normal in their cognition. left, and did not die unexpectedly."
After summarizing the information, Bai Yan said with emotion: "Speaking of which, this couple was originally a good person. They were keen on charity and willing to help others. After death, their personalities changed drastically. They started to like eating dead mice, but they never defaulted on their salary. The club There, it should be the first person killed by the host since he can remember, and the hostess takes turns walking in our room every night, she probably doesn’t remember, but they are also victims.”
Bai Yan's words made Li Hao feel sad. When the hostess arranged for him to dig roses in the garden, he really hated her. But when he got through it safely and understood the cause and effect, he didn't hate her so much. After all, the hostess is also a poor person. She took the fierce ghost back home as her son, but she didn't expect that this would directly harm their family.
"In short, we can't remind the hostess that they have died." An Qing concluded: "As long as we don't expose the false impression that they have been killed, we can maintain the superficial peace and spend the last day safely."
An Qing's words were unanimously approved by everyone. Everyone has called the door knocker by name in the past two days. Everyone is familiar with the way to deal with it, and it is worthwhile to come again.
Three people have already died, and on the last day, no one wants to cause trouble.
…
At half past six in the evening, the villa family just finished their dinner. Called by the hostess, everyone stood in the lobby on the first floor, watching her and the hostess look at each other.
It's the last day, shouldn't they go back to rest early, why call them here at this point
"You have worked hard for the past seven days. Actually, it's not a big deal. I just need to explain the finishing touches." The hostess said with a smile on her face, "You have done a good job, you are the best employees I have ever seen. Tonight you..."
Before the hostess finished speaking, a deafening thunder suddenly came from outside the villa, interrupting her words.
Accompanied by bursts of thunder, pouring rain fell from the sky.
From the wide open window, everyone could hear the sound of raindrops hitting the ground, and their hearts were inevitably a little gloomy.
It was the last night, and it rained suddenly, which was not a good sign.
Many tragedies often happen on rainy nights.
Tonight is no exception.
Before the hostess could continue the topic just now, there was a hasty knock on the door. For this reason, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
The knock on the door, could it be the knocker from the previous nights
Shouldn't the knocker be the hostess
Could it be someone else
While everyone was on alert like a frightened bird, the knock on the door continued. Bai Yan's eyes followed the couple closely, and found that they also looked surprised, as if they couldn't understand the late-night visitors.
Everyone had different thoughts, the hostess hesitated and asked Su Xiaoqian to open the door.
Hearing this task, Su Xiaoqian's face was full of reluctance.
No one knows whether the guest who visits on a rainy night is a human or a ghost. If she goes up to open the door, she will be the first to suffer. However, the hostess had to obey the order. Although she was full of fear, she still trembled, moved to the door with small steps, and opened the door with a gritted teeth.
The door was opened.
A disheveled man appeared outside the door, not a knocker.
The man's head was intact on his neck, but seeing his face, everyone always felt a strange sense of familiarity.
This strange familiarity instinctively made everyone feel uneasy.
"Excuse me, are you...?"
Su Xiaoqian asked hesitantly, but without the man answering, the hostess covered her mouth and said, "Son! Why did you come out?"
Hearing this, An Qing's complexion changed drastically. She didn't care if the master and hostess was nearby, and immediately shouted: "No! Don't let him talk!"
As soon as her words fell, Lu Tianyi rushed forward to subdue the man, trying to silence him with Su Xiaoqian, but unfortunately, they were still one step too late.
"Dad! Mom! I'm not crazy! My brother died years ago! I don't have a brother!"
"Stupid boy, what nonsense are you talking about? Isn't your brother right here..." Speaking of this, the hostess was taken aback, yes, where is it
During the past six months, the hostess always thought her son was crazy, and she didn't even recognize her own brother.
But today, the memory that the hostess had neglected for a long time finally returned, and she was shocked by the eldest son. Confusion flashed in her eyes, but she gradually remembered something very long ago...
Half a year ago, she and her husband went out to play together. On the way home, they saw a faceless child standing by the side of the road. Seeing them approaching, he suddenly stopped in front of them, looking extremely scary.
But somehow, they didn't feel afraid at the time, and even thought involuntarily of their youngest son who unfortunately died young.
She couldn't help but call her son, and they took it home, really treating it as their own little son and raising it.
later…
And then what
Recalling this, the hostess felt a sharp pain in her neck, as if to stop her from thinking about it. However, the memory continued to advance without her control, making the expression of the hostess more and more horrified.
She remembered! She remembered!
Afterwards, the eldest son started to yell that his younger brother had died long ago. Seeing that he was making a lot of trouble, she and her husband thought he was crazy, so they locked him in the cellar.
On the night the older son was locked up, Faceless went to the study and handed them an axe. So, in the study, Mr. raised the ax and chopped off her head. Then, he swung the ax and chopped off his own head...
Thinking of this, the head of the hostess fell from her neck with a bang, and rolled to the ground together with the head of the hostess...
The death of the hostess and hostess gave the man a lot of excitement. He seemed to have thought of something, and infinite fear appeared in his eyes.
The parents' skulls rolled towards him, the man's eyes became red, his tongue swelled, his eyelids turned outward, and when he lowered his head, one eyeball fell out of its socket.
Seeing such a horrifying scene, Bai Yan raised his hand to pick up a table knife from the dining table, rushed to the man, inserted the knife into his throat, and reunited his family of four.
Before the man died, Bai Yan saw gratitude from his tearful eyes. After being imprisoned for so long, he was fed carrion by his dearest and most beloved parents every day, and his body became like a ghost. The man probably didn't want to live long ago. He escaped from the cellar with one breath, and wanted to wake up his parents and tell them the truth. Now seeing the tragic situation where both his parents died, he completely lost the will to survive.
To be honest, this kind of gaze really made him feel sick.
He killed this half-human, half-ghost guy not only tasteless, but also made him feel sick.
But now there is no time to even vomit. As soon as Bai Yan put away the knife, he immediately ran outside, without any intention of reminding his teammates.
"Bai Yan! What are you doing?" Lu Tianyi was startled by Bai Yan's coquettish manipulation.
"Fool, why are you still standing there? Run!" An Qing threw away the crutches, grabbed Lu Tianyi, and motioned him to take her with her: "Run, if you don't run, it will be too late!"
