There must be a purpose for placing this coffin here, but what is that purpose?
I stared at the coffin, wishing I could burn a hole in it. I looked at it for a long time but still didn't see anything unusual.
I've searched the entire coffin, but found nothing.
Finally, my gaze had to turn back to the lying man. Now only he and the person underneath him were missing. Should I move him out?
"Brother, it doesn't seem like a good idea to move out?" Xiao Ding seemed to see what I was thinking and reminded me with a pout.
"Are you saying that we are not good enough or that he is not good enough?" I raised my eyebrows when I heard that. It's already this time, and you are still fussing about this?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding made a gesture of "please do as you please" and stood aside waiting for instructions without saying anything else.
My eyes fell on the coffin again. After a moment, my eyes darkened. I finally made up my mind and said to Xiao Ding beside me, "Let's move him out together!"
Xiao Ding looked at me as if he had seen a ghost, and then he started to follow me to move the corpse with a constipated look on his face.
What's strange is that, perhaps because of the jade Buddha, the man's skin retains the touch of a normal person. Except for the lack of temperature and pulse, everything is the same as a normal person.
Xiao Ding and I both felt a chill down our spines. After moving the person to the ground, we quickly jumped a few steps away, feeling our hair standing on end.
Xiao Ding and I continued to lie on the coffin to study it.
Sure enough, after throwing away the quilt and flowers underneath, a formation was revealed, carved on the bottom of the coffin. However, I have never seen it before, so I can't be sure for the time being.
However, Jack seemed to know a lot about these things. He subconsciously looked at Jack, only to see Jack standing at the entrance of the corridor on the fifth floor, frowning and looking at this side with a not very good look on his face.
I suddenly remembered that I seemed to be able to hear him talking just now. Under normal circumstances, each floor of this building seems to be an independent world, and the corridor door on each floor is the dividing line. People inside and outside the door cannot hear each other talking.
But just now...what happened?
I stared at the entrance of the fifth floor corridor, looked at the frowning Jack, and wondered whether I should ask him. I had a lucky thought in my heart that maybe he had some special secret method?
After all, he looks so mysterious.
However, just as I was thinking, I saw Jack's face suddenly change color, and he looked behind me with horror, as if he saw something terrible.
At the same time, a cold hand rested on my shoulder, and Xiao Ding's stumbling scream rang in my ears: "Brother...Brother, brother, behind you..."
Behind me?
What's going on behind me?
Besides me, there's only Xiao Ding here, oh, and the man that Xiao Ding and I just moved out.
Thinking of this, my heart sank suddenly, the veins on my forehead throbbed wildly, and I felt the person behind me getting closer and closer, so I had to turn my stiff neck to look back.
As soon as I turned my head, I was suddenly met with a pale face and a pair of empty, emotionless eyes. The pupils were emitting a strong coldness and murderous aura, and the eyes were staring at me with a gloomy face.
I opened my mouth in surprise, and before I could react, my body was suddenly flipped over and hit the wall with Xiao Ding screaming.
"elder brother--"
The moment my body was flipped over, I instinctively grabbed the jade Buddha hanging in front of him, and then flew straight out.
The moment the sharp pain came from my back, I almost thought my spine was shattered. The pain made my vision go black and I almost fainted.
But thinking of Xiao Ding who was still lying beside the coffin, I endured the pain in my body, gritted my teeth, raised my head, and shouted at him urgently: "Xiao Ding, run!"
However, it was too late. The moment I raised my eyes, I saw that Xiao Ding had been grabbed by the neck by the man. His face was flushed red, as if he would die in the next second. I was shocked.
You knew there might be danger as soon as you decided to open the coffin, so why were you still so careless?
I couldn't help but blame myself in my heart, but at the same time I knew that now was not the time to complain. I endured the waves of pain coming from my back, picked up the bones that fell on the ground and rushed towards the man, staring at the man's emotionless and empty eyes.
"Go to hell!" I ran closer and swung the bone towards the man who was pinching Xiao Ding's wrist, shouting.
The bone hit my wrist, but it felt like hitting a piece of hard iron, and it made my palm numb. Fortunately, I used a desperate fighting style, using all my strength, and didn't care whether I would get hurt or not.
The man seemed to be as strong as a wall of steel, but he was still knocked back a few steps by my blow, and a bit of human anger surged in his hollow eyes.
"Cough cough cough..." Xiao Ding was suddenly released, air rushed into his trachea, and he lay on the ground coughing violently.
However, now is not the time to give him a break. Almost at the moment I repelled the man, I suddenly grabbed Xiao Ding from the ground and ran towards the corridor on the fifth floor like crazy.
That last blow has used up all my strength. Now the only way to survive is to run.
Just as he was about to run to the corridor entrance on the fifth floor, just a few steps away from leaving here, a hurricane suddenly blew from behind.
I knew it wasn't a hurricane, but the wind blade brought by the man when he caught up with me. My heart suddenly tightened, almost jumping out of my throat, and I rushed forward desperately.
Just as I stepped into the corridor on the fifth floor, the hurricane behind me arrived as expected.
I widened my eyes in despair. Could it be that I was only one step away from dying here today?
At this moment, a strong force suddenly pushed me from the back, and my body fell forward due to inertia and fell directly to the ground on the fifth floor.
However, I had no time to rejoice that I had escaped death again, nor did I care about the pain in my body. I just turned around to look for Xiao Ding's shadow.
Because the moment I was pushed to the fifth floor, Xiao Ding's hand, which I had been holding, was suddenly pulled away by him.
I don’t know, if I knew that turning back would allow me to see a scene that I will never forget, would I still choose to turn back?
All I know is that this scene will entangle every nerve of mine for the rest of my life. Even if I get out of here one day, I will not be able to escape this nightmare.
In the dim light on the fourth floor, Xiao Ding's body was suddenly caught by the man who caught up with him from behind. He pushed me away with all his strength, picked up the bone stick on the ground and smashed it hard at the last glass pillar.
The glass column shattered and red blood gushed out. At this moment, Xiao Ding's body was torn into two halves by the man who grabbed him from behind, and then thrown to the ground, a bloody mess.
