Chapter 43: A sense of ritual

Views:

Xu Langteng stood up from his chair. Of course, he understood what it meant to be missing one person at this time. That person must be ill-fortuned.

Xu Lang will not be so excited to die alone. The first victim in a key mission usually reveals some clues, or an opportunity for the evil spirit to kill or be killed because of the discovery of a key clue.

Xu Lang would never accept it if he were killed silently and worthlessly by the evil spirit without any clues.

He hurriedly inspected the 7 executors present, and he knew that the one who was missing was her!

That's right, Jiang Hui is the only woman among the performers.

Xu Lang frowned and looked at the old man who was always standing on the edge of the crowd like a waiter. At this time, he was expressionless and didn't know what he was in a daze.

Is it him

Lu Xiaozhi also discovered that the missing person was Jiang Hui. His eyes widened and he bounced from the chair, "Jiang Hui, it's Jiang Hui, she... she's not like that, right? Anything! Will you die if you don't do it?"

Cheng Guoguo calmed down a few words on the side: "Don't be so excited, her death may give us some clues, but it does not mean that we too will die."

Lu Xiaozhi's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he grabbed Cheng Guoguo's collar ferociously: "A life is so worthless in your opinion? That's our companion!"

Cheng Guoguo was also a little angry, "I can comfort you with a few words, but you still beat me up", immediately opening Ling's teeth and cursing back.

Wuming on one side actually knocked off Lu Xiaozhi's arm first, and kicked to the ground: "Furthermore, these useless nonsense, I will pull out all your teeth next time."

Li Feng watched the scene chaotically at this time, his eyes rolled steadily, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhu Zixue, who has always been watching the show, was also very scared in his heart. He died on the first night of the mission, and he died silently and inexplicably. His face was also ugly, and he kept thinking about why Jiang returned. will die.

Lu Xiaozhi was clutching his hot belly at this time, and fell to the ground wailing, Xu Lang looked at these calmly.

This task separated everyone, which hindered the progress of the task and the collection of clues, and Jiang Hui was inexplicably wrong. What did she experience

Xu Lang frowned and looked at the old man on one side. At this time, the old man was still in a daze. It was as if he could not hear or see the internal conflicts of the surrounding performers. Just now Lu Xiaozhi and the others were indifferent when they said the dead, like a wooden person. Standing by the table.

"Does Jiang Hui's accident have something to do with him?"

But Xu Lang was actually not sure whether Jiang Huidi was dead or not. After all, he just didn't come down to eat breakfast. Although it is reasonable to say that Jiang Hui, a person with low psychological endurance, would definitely not be alone if he could get together.

Therefore, the probability of this situation is too low. Basically Jiang Hui will not survive, but the clues still need to be looked at.

Xu Lang coughed, and said to the executors: "Jiang Hui's situation is still uncertain. It may just be that he didn't wake up. Let us go and take a look.

Lu Xiaozhi and Ruan Fei shook their heads directly, joking, who knows whether the evil spirits will be in Jianghui’s room. Although they sympathize with Jianghui’s life, they also cherish their own lives. Of course, they still don’t know that the old man is. News of evil spirits.

Li Feng hesitated and didn't speak, Zhu Zixing's heart beat the drum, but the last time he gritted his teeth, raised his hand and expressed willingness to go.

Then Wu Ming and Cheng Guoguo both expressed their participation. When Li Feng heard that these senior people were going to go, he hurriedly opened his mouth. When he was about to express that he was willing to follow along, Xu Lang made a final decision. Go with them, Li Feng, take care of the others."

Hearing this, Li Feng's face suddenly sank. Xu Lang's approach was to completely exclude himself and stay with these two wastes. Thinking of this, Li Feng lowered his head, hiding the malice in his eyes.

Xu Lang accurately captured the changes in Li Feng’s expression, but he didn’t care at all. He saw too much of this kind of incapable and insidious villain, so he chose to ignore it, anyway, he was going to play Li Feng to death sooner or later. .

Thinking of this, Xu Lang and others would go upstairs to find Jiang Hui, but at this moment, no one thought that the old man who had been standing still in the same place opened his mouth and said to Xu Lang in a low, hoarse voice: " I will look for it with you."

Originally, Xu Lang and others were about to leave. Hearing this, the steps he had just taken stopped urgently, and he was shocked. No one thought that this evil spirit old man would suddenly participate in the actions of the executors at this time. Among.

Wuming and others set their eyes on Xu Lang, with anxiety in their eyes. What should I do

Li Feng and the three remaining newcomers were also taken aback. It was really helpless to stay with this gloomy old man. If he followed Xu Lang upstairs, then the three of them would be much safer, and the corners of Li Feng’s mouth appeared even more. Smile.

Xu Lang slowly turned around and looked at the old man, pretending to not hear clearly: "What did you say?"

The old man answered patiently: "I want to go up with you." His tone revealed firmness, as if Xu Lang would get angry if he didn't allow him.

Xu Lang's expression was a little ugly, and he glanced at Wuming and others, and then nodded to the old man.

Then he took the nameless and the others and walked quickly to the stairs. While walking, he looked back at the location of the old man. The speed of the old man was not fast, just like a normal old man. At this time, there was already some distance from Xu Lang and the others. .

Xu Lang quickly whispered to the three people: "I have an intelligence, that is, we can't let the old man know our true name. If we do, there is a possibility of a terrorist incident."

"Now, I am No. 1, Cheng Guoguo is No. 2, Wuming is No. 3, and Zhu Zixing is No. 4. Lu Xiaozhi and Ruan Fei have already informed the old man's name and don't know what will happen. We will pay attention to it when that happens. "

We went to Jiang to go back to the room to take a closer look, if she died because she exposed her name. "

In fact, Xu Lang's words were a double insurance, because he didn't know whether the engraver on his desk helped him or harmed him, so simply observe it first.

Take a look at the fate of the executors who have revealed their names, and then make a decision. Before that, it is still safe to use code names to match them.

Because Jiang Hui had an accident with a high probability, Xu Lang did not hide her name while at the dinner table.

Everyone nodded, but when he was talking like this, Xu Lang inadvertently glanced at the old man behind him with his light, only to find that the old man behind him was nowhere to be seen.

Then Xu Lang hurriedly turned his head and pointed behind him. The old man who had just disappeared appeared behind them again, in just half a second.

At this time, the old man took a difficult step, leaning on the stairs and said to Xu Lang and the others: "You slow down, I can't keep up."

Xu Lang frowned, could it be an illusion? But in my heart, I felt that half a second after the old man disappeared was not that simple.

It’s not the time to ponder this. Xu Lang hurried up to the third floor. Zhu Zixing said: “When I went out, I noticed that the room next door has not been moving. That might be Jianghui’s room.”

Xu Lang and the others nodded, walked to the door of the room, and looked at each other one by one. Xu Lang took the lead in holding the handle, but when he turned down, he found that he couldn't turn it at all, and the door was locked at all.

Feeling the resistance of the door lock, Xu Lang frowned and looked back at the old man who was about to catch up. At this time, the old man was holding a bunch of keys in his hand and raised his eye to them.

"Could this old man know that Jiang Hui locked the door, so he came with us?"

After this time, the old man finally rushed over. Several executors tacitly gave up a doorway. The old man did not speak, and without looking at it, he directly took out a key and stabbed it into the door lock.

With the creaking sound, the door snapped open. Due to the dark yellow window grilles, there was not much light in Jianghui's room.

As soon as the door opened, Xu Lang and others immediately smelled a choking bloody smell, and hurriedly took two steps back, holding their noses. No one thought that Jianghui's room would be so terrible.

The room was slightly dim, mixed with the smell of blood, and it was filthy and depressed. Xu Lang was the first to see the police. The floor and walls were sprayed with a lot of blood. This level of bleeding was completely caused by torn limbs. dead.

Jiang Hui's end was so tragic that it made the hearts of all the executors present to chill. What has she experienced in the end, she will be so cruelly tortured.

But for all this, for the old man walking in the front, he turned a blind eye, with no expression on his face. When Xu Lang noticed this, he even more believed that his previous speculation was wrong.

Evil spirits are evil spirits. How can there be harmless spirits

Xu Lang and others also began to enter the room one after another, the fear that permeated people's hearts began to haunt, Zhu Zixue was in the worst state, had already begun to sweat, and showed signs of retching, even Xu Lang felt a little hairy in his heart.

The calmest of the four executors was the nameless. Looking at his performance, Xu Lang couldn't help but start to speculate about what his previous occupation was, and he was physically immune to this kind of occasion.

After entering the room completely, Xu Lang immediately realized that something was wrong, and Jiang Hui's body was gone!

why is that? What is the intention of the evil spirit to hide the corpse? Is it related to the method of death

Xu Lang glanced at the old man again, and found that after he entered the room, he stood still at the door, and did not hinder the actions of the executors in the slightest.

Without thinking about it, Xu Lang approached the bed. Judging from the scene, Jiang Hui should have died. A mixture of various unpleasant odors rushed to the nose, Xu Lang clutched his nose and mouth slowly. Past.

At first glance, the empty mirror frame above the bed has also disappeared!

Xu Lang clearly remembered that when he was talking to Jiang Hui before, he was told that there was an empty frame in her room, why did it disappear at this time

He suddenly figured it out a little, the function of the empty frame turned out to be like this.

The empty frame of each room is not a self-portrait of the owner at all, but a portrait of the executors before death!

Last night Wuming saw a picture in the corridor. There are undoubtedly the victims who died of evil spirits. Once killed by the evil spirits, the empty frame in the room will display the portrait of that person before death. , And mark personal information.

This is an evil spirit with a high sense of ritual with murder as an art! (End of this chapter)
