Everyone suffers, and the world is full of suffering. All scheme in a myriad of ways just to find a way out.
Until that night thousands of years ago, a blood-red star fell from the sky. Insta...
This is her cell phone.
The girl curled up her body and hid her back tightly in the corner under the desk.
She covered her mouth and nose with one hand and breathed gently and carefully, while in the other hand she held a bright pink mini knife and a cell phone.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the gray and white surveillance images on her phone, sliding her thumb across the screen, looking for any trace of the figure.
The surveillance here does not cover places like the living room. At most, just like the previous cloakroom, a camera is installed next to the mechanism in the wardrobe.
But all the stairways are completely covered.
Jiang Yunshu couldn't grasp the man's movements in real time, but he wasn't too far behind.
"It's okay." She said calmly in her heart unconsciously.
"The most difficult thing is that he and I are not on the same world channel..."
Jiang Yunshu sighed inwardly, then calmed down in an instant and thought, "This... family, what on earth is going on? The surveillance footage showed them on the first floor, decorated with celebratory decorations and cakes. How could they suddenly be wiped out today?"
"How should I put it..." Jiang Yunshu muttered to himself, "The person who came to exterminate our family chose a modern urban fantasy plot. I don't dare to believe it so easily. This family is truly unaware of the situation."
She murmured to herself:
"Since they've reached this level, they definitely won't let themselves be slaughtered like chickens, ducks, fish, or sheep. They themselves have fantasy cheats, and even though they know these terrible dangers exist, they will definitely have people using fantasy cheats guarding here..."
"Regardless of whether they were careless or not, they were all taken care of by that person. This means..."
Jiang Yunshu was silent for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the colder he felt.
She decided not to think about it anymore.
After a pause, she seemed to remember something, blinked rapidly in frustration, and sighed in her heart -
She forgot.
The corpse on the ground just now happened to appear in front of her, and she actually forgot to take her cell phone.
Forget it, let’s see if she can get away with it this time. If she can’t survive, it’s useless even if she takes the phone.
What if I accidentally leave some traces?
Jiang Yunshu comforted himself silently.
At times like this, nothing is more important than staying calm.
Jiang Yunshu's mind was in turmoil, but only a dozen seconds had passed. He stared at the figure on the mobile phone surveillance screen that appeared slowly in the aisle.
The figure seemed to follow her out of the cozy bedroom like a shadow. He stood at the door, seemingly considering whether to go left or right.
"Right, right, right..." Jiang Yunshu stared at the screen and prayed in his heart.
However, the figure turned and walked to the left.
Jiang Yunshu: “…”
Not surprising at all.
What's going on? Why am I not surprised at all?
So this is the crappy luck she's become accustomed to over the years, haha...
Oh, this is so damn familiar.
Noise flickered on the gray-white surveillance screen, and the tall figure in black walked slowly on the carpeted aisle as if strolling.
"Da, da, da..."
One by one, steady footsteps sounded far behind him, filling the silence of the surveillance camera.
The sound of footsteps echoed leisurely behind her, and a faint white light shone on the girl's face. She lowered her head, and the screen of her mobile phone was filled with square images, some still and some moving, which was weird and extremely eerie.
He stood in front of the messy study door.
A pair of snake-like vertical pupils looked ahead coldly and ruthlessly.
Jiang Yunshu, curled up in the shadows, raised his hands and covered his mouth and nose tightly.
With her eyes wide open, she stared at the tall figure on the screen without blinking.
The "thump, thump, thump" sound of my heartbeat exploded in my ears, then suddenly stopped, and then started beating like crazy again...
Panic and tension overwhelmed the pain in my heart.
Jiang Yunshu stopped praying in her heart. She tensed up and prepared to strike.
She couldn't beat this man... But if she was asked to die so easily, she would be unhappy and unwilling...
Why should she die so easily?
She just wanted to die, and since she couldn't drag anyone down with her, couldn't she try her best to make the murderer suffer greatly before she died?
"Da, da, da..."
He walked into the study, ignored everything, and walked straight ahead on the blood.
Bloody footprints appeared on the white papers scattered on the ground, with words written on them sparsely or densely.
Glancing at the half-open door not far away, he casually snapped his fingers with his lowered right hand.
The half-open door was instantly smashed open by an invisible gust of wind.
“Hua——Hua——”
The ornate, heavy wooden door swayed violently open and closed in the strong wind.
But that person had already turned away his gaze with disinterest.
"Da, da, da..."
The soles of his shoes left streaks of half-dried blood on the carpet and wooden floor.
He walked straight to the majestic and solemn desk in front of him.
In the cold shadows.
The girl who had been staring at the phone screen slowly withdrew her gaze from the phone, slowly raised her head, and her eyes were cold.
The figure in black casually placed one hand on the messy table covered with scattered papers, and his black hair, tied at the back of his head, slid down his back in mid-air...
He bent down slowly and casually.
The scarlet vertical pupils looked slowly under the desk.
Fine dust drifted slowly down, into the large shadow under the desk...
Empty, there's nothing.
The figure beside the desk slowly straightened up, an unfathomable expression on his face.
Outside the study.
On the dark brown, almost black stairs, a young girl crouched down, quietly and quickly running up to the next floor.
Her pale face looked unhappy.
She just knew it!
Knowing her luck was bad, she still relied on it. Did she think she wasn't dying fast enough?!
With her bad luck, she wouldn't even believe it if she lost her memory!
Fortunately, fortunately...
Jiang Yunshu stood at the stairs, holding two mobile phones and a bright pink mini knife. He hesitated for a moment, then rushed into the back of the corridor and found a room to hide in.
Fortunately, when she was hiding under the table, she was still a little nervous, so she quickly came out, grabbed a cell phone and ran away.
This is a bedroom with simple layout and light colors throughout.
Walking in and taking a step, my sight met a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the right with a wide view.
Jiang Yunshu's fingers gripping the two phones moved, and the thoughts in his mind that had not yet been translated into clear words turned for a moment.
Instead of going deeper, she stepped back and pressed herself against the wall beside the door.
Pulling out the new mobile phone from his left hand, Jiang Yunshu put the knife from his right hand into his left hand, and opened the rose gold mobile phone.
As soon as the phone lights up, the screen is locked.
Grass.
Jiang Yunshu stared at the password lock on the screen after the facial recognition failed, and couldn't help cursing in his heart.
My heart, which was hanging in the air, fell to the bottom of the valley. The fatigue could no longer be suppressed and it set off a huge wave that swept over my body and settled in my heart, leaving me with a sense of emptiness and powerlessness.
Is it just...
Are we placing our hopes on that… unknown mechanism in the basement that might be used for communication with the outside world?
I ran around, thought about and planned a series of things, but then failed because of such a simple problem.
Jiang Yunshu leaned against the cold wall, lowered his head, and stared at the password lock on the phone screen until the screen turned off automatically.
The pigtails that had been styled to look lively and natural, and were actually so refined that the curves of the hair were customized, had already become truly messy and loose during the continuous running and hiding.
The girl was wearing a pink and white casual dress that was generally low-key and unobtrusive, but with exquisite details.
She held up her cell phone with the screen turned off, her head lowered, not moving at all.
Suddenly, the hand holding the phone dropped down heavily and weakly.
Jiang Yunshu raised his head, and the depression that had been accumulating between his brows became a little thicker.
Her dark eyes were so calm and still that they seemed numb and gray as she glanced forward casually.
Or how about just... find a place to lie down and get a good night's sleep before you die?
My sight swept across the floor-to-ceiling windows not far away.
Jiang Yunshu looked at the darkness outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Heavy rain hit the window. The sound of rain was faint in the dead silence, but it could not hide its fierce and ferocious momentum.
And outside...
She doesn't have to wait in this house for someone else to come!
She can get out on her own!
The tired and heavy feeling that felt like being haunted by countless evil spirits suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Yunshu blinked, and the flame of hope suddenly rekindled in his heart. He trembled to keep her limbs warm in this cold and rainy night.
She wants to go out! She wants to go out!
Her previous desperate escape and hiding were not in vain!
Jiang Yunshu's lowered hand tightly grasped the phone. Just as he was about to look away, his sight suddenly stopped.
Not far away, on a small table half-surrounded by a soft sofa, a mobile phone was quietly placed in the center.
Jiang Yunshu's mind was a little confused for a moment.
While she was thinking disappointedly, "I can't open the lock, it's useless to take it", she walked over involuntarily.
She stood in front of the sofa, lowered her head, and slowly reached for the phone on the table.
The phone screen lit up, and almost the next second, the screen changed, and the lock... was opened.
Jiang Yunshu stared at the phone blankly, his mouth opening unconsciously.
This is...her cell phone.
She raised her head and looked around in a daze.
However, after just a moment, she decisively withdrew her gaze and looked down at the phone screen.
Clicking on the address book, Jiang Yunshu unconsciously thought calmly:
"Think carefully before you call someone... If you hit a dead body... that would be bad."
Jiang Yunshu subconsciously slid his finger across the screen and blinked, only then realizing that there were very few people in his address book.
"Adoptive mother" and "adoptive father"...
"Jiang Qili", "Jiang Shuangyu"... "Jiang Shuangli"?
And one more...
Jiang Yunshu stared at the note——
"Head of the family".
After his mind raced for a second, Jiang Yunshu decisively clicked on "Head of the Family", put down the unnecessary things in his hands, and began to edit messages with his phone in both hands.
There are so few people, there is no choice.
If the "head of the family" is the real head of the family, and if even the head of the family died here, who else can she wait for?
Just run away!
Her fingertips tapped the screen subconsciously, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she had already edited three words and sent them out -
"Those who act rashly."
What the hell is this… ?
Jiang Yunshu was confused, but didn't think about it anymore.
She picked up a light yellow thin coat on the sofa and put it on, then put the bright pink mini knife and three mobile phones into the coat pocket.
Jiang Yunshu walked quickly and silently around the room.
I wanted to find some handy tools, but I couldn't find any.
"Don't you have a paper cutter or scissors?"
Jiang Yunshu frowned slightly.
It's actually normal not to have one, but she just has an inexplicable weird feeling.
After a pause, her brows suddenly relaxed and her face became calm.
I see.
In this room, the sharp corners of all the furniture are tightly covered with transparent anti-collision corner guards.
Not to mention sharp weapons, I didn't even see any sharp objects or pointy jewelry.
