Chapter 36 Brother...Toilet

The other person exuded a sense of oppression and stood there motionless, not approaching or speaking, but his sight clearly penetrated the fog and fell on him.

Yin Xiu stood there holding the little girl without moving forward. He was silent for a moment, and after noticing that the other party had no intention of moving, he tentatively asked, "What's the matter?"

The figure did not answer him, but slowly moved forward a step. Only then could Yin Xiu see clearly what was standing opposite him.

That's probably the woman in the seal.

She stood in the mist, wearing a long white dress, her hair disheveled, and bright red blood staining the hem of her skirt, which was flowing down her legs to the ground.

One of the woman's legs was lame, and her entire calf was red, swollen, and twisted, as if it had been broken by something. The clear marks on her pale skin looked extremely scary, and also made the blue and purple scars extremely conspicuous.

It was the first time that Yin Xiu met this woman face to face. He carefully looked at the marks on the woman's body and frowned slightly.

The origin of the monster that was rumored to be so terrifying that it needed to be sealed to be suppressed, but it looks like a victim?

The woman stared at him quietly, and after appearing in Yin Xiu's sight, she did not come any closer.

Yin Xiu looked at her thoughtfully, "You've already chosen me as a sacrifice, there's no need to be so anxious, right?"

The woman's eyes were cold, her voice hoarse and low. "Do you think I'm harming you by choosing you as a sacrifice? I'm helping you."

Yin Xiu raised his chin slightly, "What do you mean?"

"That man has his eyes on you. Anyone he sets his sights on never has a good ending." The woman slowly turned her gaze towards the portraits hanging on the wall. "They are the best proof. They are regarded as works of art by that man, forever trapped within them, imprisoned, unable even to disappear."

Yin Xiu followed her gaze and looked at the portrait on the wall.

Those people who had closed their eyes and been quiet during the day now opened their eyes. They lay in the portraits, looking at Yin Xiu in fear and helplessness, just like the man in the portrait in the corridor before.

Based on the rule of not looking at each other for long periods of time, Yin Xiu returned his gaze to the woman. "So, how can you be considered helping me by choosing me as a sacrifice? I'm going to die tomorrow night."

"You'll all die sooner or later anyway. It's better for you to die in my hands than in his." The woman looked at Yin Xiu with a cold gaze. "Become my sacrifice, and you'll be mine after death. You'll have a chance to seek revenge one day. If you're killed by him, you'll never have a chance to turn things around."

Yin Xiu took a deep breath.

It seems that both of them are not easy to deal with. Don’t they want him to die?

"And in order to keep you, he will definitely lie to you and make it impossible for you to pass." The woman stared at Yin Xiu with red eyes, her face gloomy. "I guess he must have said a lot of bad things about me to you."

Yin Xiu nodded calmly, "It's true that he can't be trusted, but you're not much better for wanting me dead. Aren't you also saying bad things about him now?"

Yin Xiu's words made the woman's face show a hint of anger. "I've seen too many people deceived by him, and none of them ended well. If you don't believe me, you will definitely die too!"

Yin Xiu silently raised his hand and pointed at the little girl in his arms, "The curse on her is yours, right?"

The woman was silent for a moment and then nodded.

"The curse on the townspeople in this town is also yours, right?"

When the townspeople were mentioned, the woman's eyes instantly turned vicious. "That's what they deserve! They are all accomplices of that man!"

"He killed me! Everyone knew it, yet they turned a blind eye! I was just taking revenge on them! I made them as ugly as their hearts!"

"What about her?" Yin Xiu pointed again at the little girl sleeping soundly in his arms. "She's just a child, so she shouldn't be involved in your death, right? She came later."

Mentioning the little girl, the woman fell silent again. "She is indispensable for revenge..."

As he spoke, he slowly took two steps back, as if wanting to end the topic. "When you go to the basement of this house, you will know what happened to that man. He was lying to you. He is a bad man. I came here just to tell you this."

"Only my sacrifice can know the truth."

She stared at Yin Xiu, and her figure slowly disappeared into the mist.

After a while, the outlines of some objects appeared in front of Yin Xiu's eyes. He took two steps forward and saw the stairs that he had been unable to reach. Next to the stairs was a sign for men's and women's restrooms.

Yin Xiu sighed softly and looked at the little girl in his arms.

Now he could confirm that the woman and the mayor were hostile to each other. They were two stalemate forces in the town, and they had restraints on each other. The little girl who came here with her mother was the one who was truly implicated.

The truth is in the basement which is forbidden to go to according to the rules, which makes things difficult for him.

"Yaya, wake up, it's time to go to the bathroom." Yin Xiu reached out and patted the little girl's face twice.

She opened her eyes in a daze, still looking like a monster. When she turned around and saw the toilet, she immediately jumped out of Yin Xiu's arms and quickly went into the women's restroom.

Yin Xiu found a seat against the wall and stood at the door waiting. He looked at the fog in the corridor, slowly closed his eyes and took a rest, thinking about the conversation just now.

Less than two seconds after the little girl entered, a strange low cry suddenly came from the women's restroom, and she panicked.

Yin Xiu opened his eyes quickly, then turned and went into the bathroom, knife in hand. As soon as he entered, he saw a little girl lying on the sink, desperately trying to grab a dark, eerie shadow in the mirror and pull it out. The shadowy figure panicked and tried to crawl back in, but the little girl bit it as it crawled, and it screamed in fear.

Obviously, the monster in the bathroom mirror was arranged for the player, but unexpectedly, the first person to come in was a little girl. The result of choosing the wrong target to scare is that now it is impossible to go back.

"Hurry up and come out after using the toilet." After seeing that she was fine, Yin Xiu silently said this and turned to leave.

As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he bumped into a figure.

The corridor was pitch black, and the other person was standing silently at the door. Yin Xiu, who had just turned around, didn't notice him so suddenly that his head was stuck in the collar of his suit. Only then did he realize that the wall in front of him was a person.

"What are you doing out here?" Yin Xiu looked up and met Li Mo's smiling eyes.

He stood there motionless and replied calmly, "Toilet."

Yin Xiu looked at him thoughtfully, but he did not comment on whether the man's body structure allowed him to go to the toilet.

"The men's restroom is next door, let's go over there." Yin Xiu raised his hand and pointed to the entrance next to him.

"I know, I'm just watching what you are doing." Li Mo smiled and squinted his eyes to see the little girl fighting with the monster in the toilet, then turned and walked towards the entrance of the toilet next door.

As soon as he stepped aside, Yin Xiu noticed that the fog in the corridor had dissipated and turned back into a deep, dark place. The chill that had previously filled the corridor also dissipated.

He stood at the door in a daze for two seconds, and suddenly the same low shout was heard from the toilet next door, accompanied by the sound of a mirror breaking, a struggle and panic, the shouting became clearer and clearer, and then suddenly disappeared completely.

Compared to the ongoing struggle in the women's restroom, it was much smoother over there.

Yin Xiu stood calmly against the wall, continued to take a nap with his eyes closed, waiting for the two to come out.

But a portrait near the stairs opened its eyes quietly and silently.
