Chapter 158
Aruo knew there was no hope, so he could only sigh and eat his own food.
Green and Bai Meiyu also finished their meals quickly and returned to their rooms. For safety reasons, they stayed in one room, because it seemed safer than being alone in the room.
"It's getting late. Do we have to rest later instead of meeting the bride?"
Aqiang asked.
"I also hope it's the latter, so that we can leave as soon as possible, but no one is coming now, which is enough to show that we'd better stay in the room quietly and rest for a night.
Anyway, the time here is different from that outside."
Green said.
"Well, I hope we can see each other tomorrow."
Aqiang waved to Green and returned to his room.
A'ruo followed behind A'qiang. It seemed that they knew each other before they came here, otherwise A'ruo would not ask A'qiang for help. The main reason was that A'ruo was not the kind of person who would ask for help from others casually.
Especially since A'qiang seemed difficult to approach and aggressive.
A person who is very aware of his own weakness will not approach a person of the same sex who is several times stronger than himself and looks aggressive when he needs help.
They are not the same kind at all, at least in terms of strength and body shape.
"You seem to have forgotten to tell me something? For example, is the time here different from outside?"
Bai Meiyu asked.
"You didn't ask before. And this matter is not very important, and it is not the same every time."
Green said.
"Can you talk about it briefly?"
Bai Meiyu asked.
"Yes, but I don't know much.
Sometimes after a few days in the place where the incident happened
, you go back home and sleep and find that time has gone back to the moment before you left the house. Sometimes after a day in the place where the incident happened, you go back home and sleep and find that time has gone by one second or several days.
It's not fixed."
Green said.
"I was confused. But I roughly know it."
Bai Meiyu said.
"It's very narrow here. If you stay here, we can't lie on the same bed, right? It will be difficult to run."
Green said.
"Don't worry, I'll lie on the ground and won't squeeze your bed. And I'll be the first one to run if something happens, so I won't block your way."
Bai Meiyu said.
"That's good. But don't sleep too deeply at night, otherwise you may not be able to run out. Check the door. Don't let someone come in while you're sleeping, or you won't be able to get out when you're ready to run."
Green said.
"I've finished the inspection."
Bai Meiyu walked over, pushed the door, and then closed it. "Speaking of which, there is no toilet here .
If we want to go to the toilet, do we have to go out?" Bai Meiyu asked. "Probably? But who knows where the toilet is? Going out alone to find the toilet in the middle of the night is even more dangerous than going to the kitchen alone to ask for an extra portion of food that doesn't belong to you." Green said. "Can you look in the upper cabinet to see if there are any pillows or something?" Bai Meiyu asked. Green stood on the bed and opened the cabinet, throwing down a pillow, a quilt, and a mattress. Bai Meiyu spread the mattress on the ground, lay down, shook the quilt, pressed the pillow behind her, and rolled over, like a wild animal cub that needed to smell its own scent in its nest. "Aren't you worried that I'm a ghost?" Green asked. "Don't worry, I always feel that you won't hurt me, that's an intuition, I've lived to this day relying on this intuition, so I believe in you just like I believe in myself. I believe in my intuition more than my brain, so in a sense, you can also say that I believe in you more than I believe in myself. Because when you appeared in front of me, my intuition told me that I should get close to you. Maybe this is a bit absurd. But you don't have to believe it, but I'm telling the truth." Bai Meiyu said. "Thank you very much for trusting me so much. Let's discuss the sincere things later. I think that thing is not delicious." Green was lying on the bed and felt a little sleepy. "Then I'll give you something else to eat another day." Bai Meiyu turned over and said. "Then I'll go to sleep." Green replied. Bai Meiyu responded. After that, he didn't hear Green's voice again. After a while, he didn't fall asleep and turned over. This time he faced the bottom of the bed and felt something white gurgling inside. Whether it was a ghost or a bug, he jumped up. Green was awakened by him and sat up from the bed. "What's wrong?" Green asked. Bai Meiyu opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, a sound came from next door, a small scream. "It seems someone died." Green said. "I heard it." Bai Meiyu nodded. "It sounds terrible. I don't know if the person is still alive." Green got out of bed. He put on his shoes and opened the door. The doors outside were all closed. "I suddenly felt that it was very dangerous outside." Bai Meiyu said beside Green. "It's dangerous here day or night." Green replied. A gust of wind blew over.
"Should we go back to bed? It's not a good time to go out now. I don't have many clothes on, so I'll catch a cold easily."
Bai Meiyu didn't want to go out and shivered.
"I think it's dangerous if I don't go out."
Green replied.
"Then I'd better go out with you."
Bai Meiyu said.
"It's always good not to be alone, so you won't die easily."
Green nodded.
The two of them left the room and closed the door.
A black shadow and a miserable white head crawled out from under the bed.
Not finding anyone in the room, the shadow hugged its head and stuck to the door. When looking in from the outside, you can see the outline of the shadow, like an ordinary black paper-cut.
But if you don't pay attention, you might mistakenly think that it was something inside that stuck to the door, so there was a shadow.
The door next to it was also opened.
Maybe the people inside noticed that someone outside had opened the door and came out, and thought it was safe outside, so they followed him out.
"What happened in there?"
Aqiang asked.
"He's probably dead,"
Shaoshao said.
"I heard he's not dead yet,"
Aruo whispered.
Others stood by, whispering or keeping quiet, but they didn't plan to come forward.
"Then let me knock on the door,"
Green said.
"I think knocking on the door might cause trouble,"
Bai Meiyu said.
"Then just open it,"
Green and Shaoshao said in unison.
"Boy, not bad."
Shaoshao smiled at Green, walked over and pushed the door open.
The door was pushed open easily.
This was completely different from before.
There was some colorful liquid on the ground, sticky and looked like ice cream melted by high temperature, but the colors were mixed and turned black.
Especially since there was no light in here, the more you looked, the darker it got.
Inside was Ah Xiaoxiao's head, with his eyes open and his mouth open. A bloody nose had been cut off, but his chin was still there, very complete.
The clothes were neatly stacked, and the limbs were cut into large bloody pieces of meat, with the skin still on the surface.
If you hadn't seen this kind of thing in the room, you might have mistaken it for something accidentally dropped by the owner of the pork stall, a piece of oilcloth the color of human skin covering a bloody piece of fresh meat.
The meat was still jumping, as if the person was not dead yet.
Too fresh.
"It feels like I got a skinned bullfrog and was about to throw the meat into the hot pot, but the skinned bullfrog actually jumped out of the hot pot.
The worst thing is that the hot chili oil in the hot pot flew into my eyes, hot and spicy, I almost jumped up."
Shao Shao said standing by.
Her attitude was very strange, with regret mixed with curiosity, as if she really wanted to taste it, but because there were so many people here, it was difficult to do it or eat it.
Especially after having a meal before, she was not very hungry now.
"You are too much."
Aruo said.
"Stop pretending to be a good person here.
I didn't see how good your relationship was when he was alive.
Now that he's dead, you're going too far here, as if I could bring him back to life if I said a few less words. If I really had that ability, I would have been rich and wealthy, so why am I still here?"
Shao Shao shook his head and walked back to his room.
"I'm not talking to you, you guys can't understand me." Shao Shao
yawned and closed the door.
"This death really looks a bit like hot pot ingredients."
A Qiang said, looking at the corpse.
"No way? Are you the same as that person? I didn't realize you were so excessive before."
A Ruo was shocked and looked at A Qiang.
"You misunderstood me. I meant that this person's death made me know a new, possible rule."
A Qiang shook his head and said.
"What rules have you learned?"
A'ruo asked.
"You must eat the food given by the servants. If you don't eat it, you will turn into food. We only heard screams, but it is very likely that this person had already been in trouble before the screams."
A Qiang analyzed.
"It is very likely, but we all ate it, so it should be okay."
A'ruo said.
"Then I don't know, maybe there will be other things tonight."
A Qiang shook his head.
"Then we should rest quickly, otherwise we won't know how to open our eyes when we are called later."
A'ruo said.
Others returned to the room faster than them.
"Strange, did the person inside fall asleep so quickly?"
A'ruo muttered to himself when he passed by the door of Shao Shao's room.
But he didn't think much about it.
Everyone returned to the room, and soon a servant came and knocked on the door one by one to ask them to get up.
"Didn't you tell us to rest? Why are you asking us to get up again? What's the matter? Can't we just talk about it together?"
Afan asked.
Afan was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 30s or 40s. He was a bit fat, moved slowly, had a little puffiness on his face, and looked very irritable.
"Excuse me, everyone, it's urgent."
The pale-faced servant smiled and said.
