Chapter 269 Perform a Magic Show
Xiongxiong's voice was that of a boy who had not yet fully developed and had a milky, underdeveloped tone. Normally, he spoke with a slightly elongated, rising tone at the end. But at this moment, as if he had encountered something terrifying, his voice became so high and sharp that it almost formed a 90-degree upward line.
Xia Yan's hand holding the paper cutter trembled, "What's wrong?"
"Yes, yes, there is a situation. Boss, come quickly."
Xiongxiong was running out of breath, and the short, shiny hair on his chest rose and fell violently, creating layers of halos.
Xia Yan turned his gaze to the blonde girl beside him. The latter's pupils were also dilated to the extreme due to horror. Her right hand was pressed on her chest, her face was pale and she couldn't say a word.
She jumped off the cardboard box and put away the paper cutter. "Take me over there."
Chu Wanfu on the side followed silently.
Xiongxiong walked in front, took a few deep breaths and tried to describe what had just happened.
"I had just returned the plungers to the store, preparing to distribute them tomorrow, when a man came knocking on the counter with his arm around the female customer. He said he heard some noise outside and wanted me to take care of it.
“After all, I’m the store manager, and it’s my job to handle customers’ questions, so I just went along.
"I didn't expect the man to lead me around to the back of the hotel, then he took his female companion out and stood outside the safe zone, laughing loudly and saying he wanted to perform a magic trick for me."
Xiong Xiong crossed his arms and trembled all over when he thought of the next scene. The female customer walking among the crowd looked even paler.
Xia Yan looked up.
After dark, the lights on the top floor will be turned on on time, and the safe zone is well lit, just like during the day. Looking down, the windows of the north-facing rooms are neatly arranged up and down, and the thick curtains let in the dim light from inside, which is in sharp contrast to the dark room next door that has been occupied for a long time.
Perhaps hearing some noise, a corner of the curtain was lifted, revealing an unclear face peeking out.
Xiong Xiong then said in a tearful voice, "Before I could refuse, the man's body swelled up like it was inflated. He stared at me with his eyes wide open, and they swelled up more and more until they soon burst their eye sockets and fell out with a "pop." Then his body exploded with a "bang."
The female customer finally couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and burst into tears.
"I, I almost died, thanks to Manager Xiongxiong who pulled me back, otherwise..."
Xiong Xiong said, "The same second the man exploded into a bloody mess, she also swelled up. In a few seconds, she looked like a fat man weighing two or three hundred pounds. I didn't think much of it and pulled her back. I didn't expect that after I got in, her body stabilized and gradually returned to its original state."
Xiong Xiong glanced at the female customer who was sobbing with her head down, and added in his mind: She lost weight after farting a series of times.
Several people stood still at the scene of the incident.
Just one step away from the safe zone, there was indeed a ground full of bright red broken limbs and debris. Two eyeballs the size of a newborn baby's fist were intact, with light gray pupils pointing left and right at the people in the safe zone. It seemed like a clown was making a weird expression with his eyes. Against the backdrop of the inky black night, it was really scary.
Chu Wanfu was getting a bit interested. One exploded, and the other was forced to explode? Was it the deceased's supernatural power, or was it someone controlling it remotely?
How would Boss Xia handle it? If it was the latter, dying right in front of her employees, wouldn't that be a deliberate provocation? Given her style, what would she do?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a long voice in my ears.
"So he committed suicide."
Xia Yan watched as the protective shield slowly refreshed, and the yellow and white objects splashed on it were washed away and returned to its owner.
Xiong Xiong asked the female customer, "Did you feel threatened? Did he threaten you?"
The female customer only raised her head slightly, trying her best to avoid looking at her former boyfriend on the ground. She looked from bottom to top, and after struggling to turn her dizzy head, she shook her head, "No, when we were together, everything was normal."
Suddenly she remembered something and added, "...We went for a walk outside in the afternoon. He had to pee urgently, so he ran into the bushes to relieve himself...and then we came back together... Ugh."
She tilted her head to the side and suddenly began to vomit violently.
Xia Yan stared at her unusually flushed face and felt something was wrong.
"...I..." She was almost bent over, retching bitterly, as if she wanted to vomit out all her organs, "...save me..."
With a "click", a bloody object came out of her mouth.
“…Aaaaaaah!”
The female customer clutched her throat with both hands and screamed in horror. When she suddenly raised her face, it was covered in bloodstains - she had been bleeding from all seven orifices without even realizing it!
She stared with bloodshot eyes, stumbled and stretched out her hands to ask for help. A stream of bright red blood gushed out of her nose, fell into her open mouth, and dyed everything red.
“…Ahem, ahem.”
She touched the area under her nose and put her hands in front of her eyes while shaking violently. Her eyes widened instantly, her pupils contracted to the size of a pinhole, and then expanded to the maximum. Her eyes rolled back, her whole body shook like a sieve, and she fell to the ground trembling and twitching.
The sticky liquid oozed out from the torn skin and gradually spread, and the person who merged into the pool of blood lost his life.
It all happened so quickly, from the female customer vomiting to falling to the ground and dying, it only took a few seconds. Before anyone could take action, everything stopped.
Zhikang, who came hurriedly, was panting. He pressed on the abdominal cavity of the corpse and felt it carefully. After dozens of seconds, he looked at Xia Yan and shook his head.
"The internal organs are unusually soft and cotton-like, and the abdominal cavity is full of blood due to ruptured blood vessels. There's no way to save him."
It seems that when the man dragged her outside just now, her internal organs swelled up, causing severe damage, and she has not been exposed until now.
In this situation, even if you get into a hotel, there is no guarantee that you will survive.
It's impossible that a seriously injured and dying person can be revived just by returning to the hotel.
What do you think the hotel is, a resurrection city? A paradise where you can endlessly refresh your life?
What do you regard her as, the ruler of life and death?
Xia Yan turned on the background surveillance and carefully watched the surveillance video of the two people today.
Like other new customers, these two people rarely actively communicate with other residents through words or physical gestures, never gather in groups, and go out only a few times.
etc.
In the evening, when I was in the restaurant on the second floor, a man sat down opposite me, ate his noodles and left without saying a word.
But there are still many empty tables nearby.
Xia Yan zoomed in with his fingers and slowed down the video.
The man's lips moved rapidly while he was blowing the cool air. The two people opposite him showed obvious expressions of fear. After the man left, the two people lowered their voices and started arguing in a low voice.
As for what was said, the voice was so soft and far away that it was impossible to record it.
What was said is no longer important. What is important is the person sitting opposite - the new customer, Fan Jie.
