The moment the refrigerator door was opened, he met a face in the refrigerator and stared blankly. Red viscous liquid poured out from the refrigerator and slowly flowed along the refrigerator door. It slid to the ground and snaked towards his feet.

"Well… "
After silently staring at the face facing him in the refrigerator for a while, Bai Zhi reached out and took out the poster with a human face on it.
"So who is so wicked as to put posters and flyers with human faces on them in the refrigerator... And how long has this watermelon been stored? The smell of rotten watermelon is just like herring that has been exposed to the sun all afternoon in the dog days of summer. Canned…”
Due to the power outage, the situation inside the refrigerator seemed quite messy. Half a watermelon that had completely rotted was placed crookedly inside. A poster with a human face on it wrapped around the watermelon. At first glance, it looked like Like a human face.
"The supermarket flyer half a year ago...is this a real place in the real world?"
After simply taking the leaflet and looking at it, while thinking about this in his mind, Bai Zhi folded the leaflet and threw it into the trash can.
And just such a simple action immediately frightened the body of the night owl who closed his eyes tightly and trembled.
"...Are you that scared?"
Turning his head to look at the girl beside him who was holding his hand tightly, Bai Zhi's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"Who, who is scared!? I, I just..."
"Oh, can you let go? It's very inconvenient for me to move like this."
Bai Zhi interrupted the other party's words without politeness.
"..."
"Once upon a time, a senior said this."
After waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for the other party to let go, but instead hugged him tighter. After rolling his eyes, he shined the flashlight on the refrigerator in front of him again, and Bai Zhi spoke nonchalantly.
"Don't be afraid of any difficulties we encounter. Face it with a smile. The best way to eliminate fear is to face it and persevere, which is victory. Come on, Ollie... huh?"
As if he noticed something, Bai Zhi reached out and opened the compartment below. But when he saw the things placed in the compartment, his expression could not help but change slightly.
In the compartment under the refrigerator, a pair of empty, dead eyes with eyeballs dug out were staring at him blankly.
—It was a man’s head that was placed there.
"What, what's wrong?"
It seemed that he was aware of something amiss. He held his arm tightly and still had his eyes closed, not daring to open them. He asked him nervously.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that there is a head chopped off by someone in the refrigerator."
After responding lightly, Bai Zhi pushed the compartment back again.
"!!!"
"You can't do this. I suggest you go home and watch more horror movies every day after this mission. It's best to develop your resistance early."
Bai Zhi closed the refrigerator door and turned to look at the night owl beside him. Bai Zhi spoke with a serious look on his face.
"For example, when I was alone at night and felt bored, I would look for a few horror movies to watch online. In less than half an hour, I felt like everything was on the bed, in the closet, under the pillow, and under the quilt. We are all human beings, I think you can give it a try.”
"...I have practiced courage before."
After a moment of silence, Night Owl spoke silently.
"In order to practice my courage, I confidently bought two horror movie tickets online a month ago and planned to invite someone to watch the movie with me."
"Then what?"
"When I was standing at the door of the cinema taking a deep breath with anxiety to adjust myself, that bastard called and said he wanted to play games and couldn't come... That night I ran away from the door without even finishing half of the movie. I was scared the whole time. Go back to the dormitory."
I don't know why, when talking about these things, the words of the night owl are full of gritted teeth.
"Well... I have a question."
Bai Zhi raised his hand.
"Kick me!! Why do you keep that bastard who always sits in an Internet cafe and plays games!? Are you setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year!?"
"No, what I want to ask is, did the door you took away at that time be returned to the cinema?"
Bai Zhi had a serious look on his face.
"???"
"Doors are very expensive. I once worked as a decorator for a period of time, so I have the best say on this."
"…Then I want to watch horror movies in the dormitory to improve my courage."
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and the night owl pretended not to hear the other party's question.
"In order to proceed step by step, I specially chose a horror movie that I watched as a child and became a shadow of my childhood. After all, I watched it in elementary school and knew the plot, so I wasn't so scared."
"If that's the case, then why are you still so scared to death?"
"I haven't finished speaking yet... After watching that movie, the former shadow of elementary school has successfully turned into the shadow of college."
"Huh? I have a good idea here."
Bai Zhi answered casually while using a flashlight to scan the other furniture and furnishings in the kitchen, which was actually not that big.
"Your method and posture of practicing courage are wrong. For example, when you are watching a horror movie, why don't you try to play a festive song about Good Luck Coming or Zhu Bajie carrying his wife on his back?"
"… Well?"
"Yeah, I almost forgot about this... just hold it for a moment."
Patting his head and handing the flashlight in his left hand to the other party, Bai Zhi took out an artifact that had always occupied public places from his backpack. After turning the volume to the maximum, he reached out and pressed the play button without hesitation. .
"The vast horizon is my love~
Flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills~
What kind of rhythm is the most swaying~
What kind of singing is the most joyful~"
… … … … … …
In an instant, the energetic and exciting music resounded throughout the kitchen. Stimulated by the music, the night owl who finally opened his eyes looked a little dumbfounded.
"What are you..."
"I bought a special speaker for square dancing aunties online. It has enough power and the sound is loud enough! How about it? As soon as the music starts, do you feel that the situation around you is different immediately?"
Holding up the speaker specially designed for square dancers, Bai Zhi nodded proudly.
"I stored more than 300 songs in it beforehand, all of which are songs full of strong positive energy. Do you want to play a song about Zhu Bajie carrying his wife or bringing good luck?"
"...What exactly did you put in your backpack?"
Looking at the stereo in someone's hand, the corner of the night owl's mouth twitched fiercely.
"It's a must-have, haven't you guys prepared it? Unfortunately, if diesel generators weren't available for a while, I would be able to connect this villa with electricity right now."
Bai Zhi shook his head with a look of regret on his face.
"Oh, by the way, let me state in advance that I have some knowledge of electrician and am quite professional."
Night Owl: "..."
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 28 Chapter 28 The Famous Detective Bai Zhi
Accompanied by the very rhythmic square dance music, with an extremely entangled mentality of toothache, Night Owl and Bai Zhi searched the kitchen one by one.
I have to say that the importance of BGM is undoubted. As we all know, the way to defeat Uncle Long is not to fight him in the furniture store and not to wear clothes and ties. The best way to fight Huang Feihong is not to practice martial arts hard, but Turn off the speakers the other person carries.
Although the music was loud, it was obviously not enough in front of the torrential rain outside and the white lightning and thunder that lit up from time to time between the sky and the earth.
So the two people in the other group didn't notice the situation on their side. At most, they vaguely heard some quite festive music...
The kitchen is not big, so under the premise that two people used flashlights to search, the search was quickly completed. Except for the human head in the refrigerator compartment, there were very few other harvests. However, because of the dead man in the refrigerator First, someone was very curious about the composition of the unknown solidified object in the pot.
If Night Owl hadn't pulled him desperately, he might have used a shovel to scoop up the solidified unknown objects in the pot to find out... Bai Zhi felt quite sorry for this.
"The windows are all boarded up with wooden bars... to prevent water from entering?"
Bai Zhi glanced thoughtfully at the blinds that were nailed up with more than a dozen pieces of black wood, then turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
There is no comparison between the efficiency of one person and the efficiency of two people. With the addition of BGM, Night Owl finally gave up his identity as a dragster and joined the search cautiously with a flashlight. ranks.
Following the same pattern, after continuing to explore the kitchen, Bai Zhi, Ye Owl and the others explored a toilet and a master bedroom one after another.
It seemed that no one had been to this villa for a long time. The ground was covered with dust, the corners were covered with spider webs, and everything was gray.
Just like the kitchen, the windows in other rooms are all firmly nailed with black wooden strips. The dressing mirror in the toilet is stained by a large black stain of unknown origin. Under the light of the flashlight Under the illumination, he seemed a little cautious.
—A certain night owl hid behind him again.
After exploring the four rooms under his own name, Bai Zhi returned to the hall.
The dirty and worn-out sofas were placed haphazardly, and the candlelight on the coffee table was still shining, but the snacks on the table were scattered all over the floor at some unknown time. The originally closed door was opened, and the strong wind mixed with the sudden rain blew randomly. Invaded towards the hall.
The candlelight stays bright.
Looking at the snacks scattered on the sofa, Bai Zhi's deep black eyes wrinkled slightly, and he realized that things were not simple.
… … … … … … … …
After closing the door again, Bai Zhi came to the sofa.
In the empty and messy living room, all kinds of debris are piled up haphazardly on the floor. The half of the floor near the window has been wet by the rainwater that seeped in from the window, and is mixed with thick dust to form a muddy floor. It was one puddle after another.
The shabby sofa was spliced into a circle in the center of the living room. A half-broken coffee table was placed in the center of the sofa. A half-burned candle was placed on the candlestick on the coffee table.
The curtains were soaked in a lot of disgusting dark red substance. Most of them fell off the wall, leaving only a few strips of cloth stubbornly connected to the ceiling. Thickly stacked wooden strips were nailed to the glass. The heavy rain made the curtains stained. The living room looked increasingly gloomy.
In such a gloomy and dark environment, Bai Zhi stood next to the sofa with his hands folded, looking at the empty living room bit by bit with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Although the door is said to have been opened, there are no footprints left in the mud. It must have been blown open by the strong wind."
Bai Zhi's eyes moved to the sofa and coffee table, his sharp eyes catching any possible information, and he elaborated in his mouth as if talking to himself.
"There are very slight traces of movement on the ground at the edge of the sofa, and there are obvious finger marks on the coffee table. There are two other lines of messy footprints around the sofa besides the footprints I just stepped on, and one line of footprints is slightly Heavy, but a line of footprints was slightly lighter and more staggering, which shows that they were injured and did not even have time to do such trivial things as closing the door."
Squatting down, using the faint light from the candlelight on the coffee table, Bai Zhi looked at the ground in front of him attentively, while still continuing to talk.
"The scattered snacks on the ground were obviously man-made. They were accidentally swept to the ground by Qianxiao and the others in panic. This shows that their situation was critical at that time... The truth of the matter is already obvious -"
A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, illuminating the entire living room in an instant. Bai Zhi stood up from the ground with a solemn look on his face.
"Unlike the smooth progress of our exploration over there, Husband and Qian Xia's group was obviously in danger. Some of them were even injured. Judging from the depth of the footprints, the injured person should be Qian Xiaoxin. Rou, Huzi was busy taking care of her and accidentally swept the snacks on the table to the ground... "
Turning his head to look at the two people sitting on the sofa opposite him who were looking at him blankly, Bai Zhi's words contained a hint of pride after a famous detective solved a case.
"So, my reasoning is correct, right?"
Smiling softly: "..."
Bearded man: "..."
... This is crazy!
Night Owl, who had roughly understood the character of the teammate with the ID Black and White, turned his head silently.
Unlike Bai Zhi's side, the Bearded Man's group was indeed attacked. The master bedroom and storage room were fine, and nothing unusual was found. However, when he and Qianxiao Xinrou went to explore the toilet At that time, Qianxiao Xinrou was attacked inexplicably.
Black finger marks slowly appeared on her neck, as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling her neck. If he hadn't seen the opportunity and quickly pulled her out of the toilet, he might have Qianxiao Xinrou was inexplicably stuck in it.
After a moment of shock, they returned to the hall, ready to help each other deal with the wounds. Although the black finger marks on their necks did not expand after leaving the toilet, they still looked quite scary. .
As it turned out, while they were dealing with their injuries, the night owl came back with a speaker specially designed for square dancing in his hand amid the joyful, festive and positive BGM. Before they could recover, a certain guy with the ID of Black and White A reasoning show was temporarily staged in front of them, and the expressions looked real...
The smiling Xinrou was confused, and the bearded guy was confused.
Volume 1 The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 29 Chapter 29 My reasoning is foolproof
As time went by, the thunder became smaller and smaller, but the heavy rain not only showed no intention of stopping, but became heavier and heavier.
From the half-broken window on the east side of the hall, large tracts of rain poured into the room from the outside. Mixed with the mottled unknown stains on the wall and the dust on the ground, a rather disgusting stream gurgled on the ground. .
"This finger mark..."
Shining a flashlight on the black finger marks on Qianxiao Xinrou's neck, Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly.
Compared with the petite night owl with the same stature and courage, Xiaoxiao Xinrou, an intellectual girl with glasses and a scholarly air, is obviously much stronger in terms of character. Although she was attacked before, she herself showed Very calm.
