The corridor is so dark.
There is some light ahead.
It seemed like someone had lit the candle.
Who would be wandering around the corridor by candlelight so late at night? I tiptoed over, and when I got closer to the candlelight, I realized it was the beautiful nanny who had previously made "black tea" for Xuanxuan. What was she doing here?
I hid behind a cylinder, watched and listened for a long time, and only heard the sound of "crunching, clucking" chewing, as if she was eating something, but the nanny had her back to me and the light was so dim that I couldn't see what she was chewing.
But, chewing something in a dimly lit hallway late at night—that was a little too much, wasn't it? And the noise was so unsettling. I really wanted to go over and see what she was chewing, but I was afraid of disturbing Xuanxuan, which would make things even more troublesome. So, I waited behind the column.
I waited for a full half hour and could hardly wait any longer. The nanny finally turned around. In the dim candlelight, I noticed a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. She licked her lips, held a candle in her hand, and slowly walked to the other end of the corridor.
I walked out in a cat-like manner and came to the place where the nanny had stayed just now. After a careful inspection, I didn't find anything unusual. However, there was a lot of bright red blood on the ground, and the smell of blood kept wafting into my nostrils.
I couldn't help but cover my nose and walk away. I kept wondering, was that blood human or animal? Putting aside the question of whether it was human or animal, the mere fact of someone gnawing on raw meat in the hallway in the middle of the night was enough to make my hair stand on end.
When I think about it now, I feel a chill in my heart.
I had already inquired about the location of the kitchen before, but the castle was so big, much larger than it looked from the outside. It would take half an hour, or even longer, to walk from my room to the kitchen.
As I cautiously faced the vastness of the castle, feeling powerless, I finally reached the kitchen door. The door was slightly ajar, and there were a few bloodstains on the floor. It seemed that the nanny had come into the kitchen earlier and taken out some raw, bloody meat, which was why I saw that scene...
My eyes could see through the darkness, so I peeked inside through the crack in the half-open door. The kitchen was quiet, with no one in sight. Only then did I feel relieved and push the door open and walk in.
This kitchen is very simple and has all the necessary equipment. Just looking at it from the outside, it is clean and refreshing, and the air is fresh, without any discomfort. However, the most terrifying thing is that when I opened the refrigerator, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.
A bloody head lay on the refrigerator shelf...
The head was disheveled, blood was sticky, the corners of the mouth were cracked, the eyes were wide open in horror, and the pale face seemed to reveal a cry of helplessness and despair at the moment of death.
This is a woman's head.
I took two steps back in shock, and before I could react, I felt like I'd bumped into something soft. I turned around and saw it was Xuanxuan... Ah! Xuanxuan! How could she suddenly appear here? I didn't even notice anything!
I was so frightened that I quickly stepped aside. Just as I was about to ask her, Xuanxuan lowered her head and spoke. She held the dolls tightly in her hands. Not to mention how many dolls she had, her voice was extremely low, and there was a hint of pain in her creepy smile: "Brother Xu Fei, do you see? That's my mother. I don't want her to leave me, so I let her stay with me forever."
What the hell?
I stared. What Xuanxuan meant by "staying by my side forever" meant killing her mother and freezing her in the refrigerator?
Indeed, this truly means "stay with me forever", but using such an extreme and terrifying method is a bit too cruel.
"I say...Xuanxuan, are you okay?" My heart was pounding. This Xuanxuan made me feel very unfamiliar.
However, Xuanxuan just shook her head with a happy smile on her face: "Why would Mom leave? Why would she leave me? I won't let her leave, because she is my mother, and a mother is not allowed to leave her daughter, absolutely not! So, I killed her, stained her skin, crushed her bones, ate her body clean, and then put her head here. In this way, whenever I want to see her, I come here, and the first thing I see when I open the refrigerator is Mom. She is not leaving me like before, not leaving me anymore. She will be with me forever, and I feel so happy."
My fingers trembled constantly at what she said, and my back felt even colder. I couldn't help but take a step back and said with a forced smile, "Xuanxuan, I know you're not that kind of person. You didn't do such a thing. This is just an illusion you had while in the Ghost Gate Bagua Escape. Wake up quickly, and let's get out of here immediately."
"No, Brother Xu Fei." Xuanxuan shook her head, biting her red lips tightly, and said, "Xuanxuan really did it. Don't you know? Mom and Dad divorced, and she left me. I was so sad. During that time, I didn't go to school and was in a bad mood. My longing for Mom became stronger and stronger, and I became more and more unable to control my emotions. Finally, one day, I plucked up the courage and went to find Mom. Mom was so good to me, and she was very happy to see me. I was very happy too, because I wanted to take her for myself. Mom was mine. That night, I slept next to Mom and killed her while she was sleeping. I peeled off her skin and made a doll. I ate her flesh and coexisted with her skin. I hid her head..."
