"What? She's dead? How did she die? How is the old lady doing now? What? She's dead too? What the hell happened? We have to find out!"
At the Yu County Public Security Bureau, the chief received a call informing him that the two policemen he had dispatched to find Li Xia's mother, who had gone to Lijia Village the previous night, had died, and even Li Xia's mother was dead! The chief frowned; something eerie was amiss in this matter.
The bureau chief arrived at the cemetery in Lijia Village with a grim face, then crossed the cordon and saw a group of police officers busily searching for clues at the scene.
"You mean they both froze to death here?" The bureau chief frowned as he looked at the preliminary investigation results, somewhat incredulous. Frozen to death in this weather? It's only early autumn, and the weather is still quite hot. It would be believable if two people froze to death in an icehouse or freezer, but to freeze to death in the middle of nowhere seems a bit far-fetched.
"Yes, they both froze to death here. Look at their posture, facial expressions, skin color, and the color of their bodies." The forensic doctor also felt very strange, but this was the result he had found.
"Where is Lixia's mother? Where was she found?" The chief looked at the two corpses curled up in a ball, looking like two policemen who had frozen to death, and his doubts grew even stronger.
"This old woman must have been greatly traumatized by her son. She hanged herself in the grove of trees not far from the cemetery, holding her child's ashes," the forensic doctor said.
"Let's go take a look?" The bureau chief then left the scene and went to another place...
An elderly woman lay stiffly in a body bag, her face purplish-black, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, her tongue covering her chin. She was still holding an urn in her hands. The staff tried to take the urn from her hands, but after countless attempts, they still couldn't pry her hands off the urn.
"How could this happen?" The bureau chief frowned even more deeply as he looked at Li Xia's mother's corpse.
"Let's go to Lijia Village and find out from the local residents about the situation of this cemetery," the bureau chief said, leading a group of people away from there and heading towards Lijia Village...
"How did I get here?" The hyena suddenly woke up with a start, finding itself lying in an unfamiliar bed with a completely unfamiliar woman next to it!
The hyena cautiously surveyed its surroundings. The house looked very clean and tidy, and it should be a woman's room. But it remembered that it should have been hiding in the bushes by the river. How did it suddenly end up lying on someone's bed, with a woman next to it?
"What's wrong with you?" the woman asked the hyena, looking at it with some confusion.
"Who are you? Why am I here?" the hyena asked warily, looking at the unfamiliar woman.
"I'm your wife! What's wrong with you? Do you have another woman outside? Don't you want me anymore?" the woman asked the hyena with a resentful look.
"Wife? I've never been married, where would I get a wife?" After saying that, the hyena put on his clothes and prepared to leave.
"Nie Gou, are you sure you want to leave here? You haven't finished your business yet and you want to run away?" the woman suddenly asked in a very cold tone.
The hyena looked at the strange woman with great fear, because its real name was Nie Gou. When it was a child, it had been ridiculed by many people because of this name. It had fought with people countless times because of this name and had gone back to beg its parents to change it. However, its parents' reason was that they did not want to change it, that changing a name was too troublesome, and that it had spent a lot of money to get this name from a master.
He gradually became numb and didn't care what others called him. Because he had been fighting with others for a long time, people started seeking his protection. Before long, he had a force that could not be underestimated. Then, he caught the eye of the warlords of Padang, and he transformed into a member of the government army...
"What do you mean?" The hyena looked at the woman and grabbed her by the neck!
"We finally made it out, so we want to make this outside world our domain. Therefore, we need to reproduce, and you are the one we have chosen!" After saying this, the woman suddenly smiled eerily, and a worm crawled out of her eye, circled her face, and then went back into her mouth!
"Holy shit!" the hyena cursed. What on earth was going on? How could this woman have become like this? How could she look just like those three corpses in the dense forest?
"Don't be surprised, you are now our king, and we are your queens. Don't you human men like very, very women? I can grant your wish. Whatever kind of woman you want, I can give you!" the woman said.
"You mean you want to find countless women, use my body to impregnate you, and then have these women give birth to all of you?" the hyena asked.
"Yes, that's roughly the idea. It's just an experiment now, and we don't know if it will succeed. After all, our current form is too fragile; we're no match for you humans. So we need to evolve and become like you, so we can contend with humans. Don't think you're still human. Let me tell you a little secret: you killed everyone in this village overnight. Now they're all your puppets. Hehe, you're the king here now." After saying this, the woman slowly approached the hyena, resting her head against its chest. Suddenly, the worms inside her head emerged from her skull, making a series of "squeak, squeak, squeak" sounds at the hyena.
The hyena felt a sharp pain in its head, as if something was trying to crawl out of its head. The hyena rolled on the ground in agony, but the woman just watched coldly...
"There's nothing unusual here," the director said as he arrived at Li Manzi's house. He looked around at the small villa, which was filled with ordinary furniture, farm tools, and household items.
"Grandpa and Grandma, we are from the Yu County Public Security Bureau. We would like to know about the Li Xia family's situation!" After leaving Li Manzi's house, the bureau chief went directly to this intelligence station, which was said to be comparable to the CIA of the United States.
“Their family is too cowardly. If it were me, that family of Li Manzi would have taken over the house. Back in the day, when I was…” An old man, upon hearing that it was the Public Security Bureau, began to recount his past heroic deeds, such as who bullied his family and how he directly dealt with them.
"You old fool, people are asking about the Li Xia family, not listening to your bragging. Officer, let me tell you, the Li Xia family used to be very poor, but Li Xia's father was poor but had great ambitions."
At that time, to support his wife and children, he worked as a coal miner in a state-owned enterprise in our town, earning nearly four or five thousand yuan a month. Li Xia's mother was a virtuous and kind woman, and before long, the couple's life was thriving. However, misfortune struck; Li Xia's father was hit in the foot by a rock in a mining accident.
Although the company compensated him with a large sum of money, around two or three hundred thousand yuan, he barely used any of it before it was almost all borrowed away by relatives.
I remember when Eve was in high school, her family was a little short of tuition fees. Li Xia's father went to the relatives who had lent him money before to ask for some money back to pay for his child's tuition. In the end, he didn't get the money and almost got beaten up.
Some simply refused to pay their debts, even threatening that if Li Xia's family came to ask for money again without any evidence, they would beat them up first, then sue Li Xia's parents and make Li Xia's whole family go to court.
"It's also Li Xia's parents' fault for being too honest and trusting their relatives too much. When they first borrowed money from these relatives, they didn't write any IOUs. The relatives said that since they were all relatives and not outsiders, there was no need to be so calculating. The two good-natured people heard this and didn't mention writing any IOUs. Now, they've directly said, 'I owe your family money. What evidence or IOU do you have? You have nothing. If you come back for money, believe me, I'll kill your whole family!'"
"That's right. When we first asked them to lend us money, they called us 'brother' and 'sister-in-law' so sweetly. But after we got the money, they didn't even look at us properly. Two or three hundred thousand yuan! My God, all of it was swindled away by these relatives. They swindled us out of everything. It left Eve's family with no choice but to borrow money everywhere, but no one would lend it to them. They knew that even if they lent it to them, it would be a problem if they could pay it back. So no matter how much Li Xia's parents begged these relatives and friends, they didn't get a single penny."
"In the end, it was Lixia's father who went to the credit union to get a loan for Eve's education. Eve was also very hardworking and her grades were always excellent. She also worked during winter and summer vacations to earn money for her studies. In this way, the family's situation gradually improved after Eve graduated from university and got a job."
"When these relatives saw that Eve's family was slowly getting better, they started to associate with Li Xia's family again. They began to openly and secretly inquire about how much Eve's monthly salary was. The two good-natured people had no guile at all. They forgot the pain as soon as the wound healed. When people asked them, they honestly told them."
"In my opinion, these relatives deserve to go to hell. They've started asking Li Xia's family for money again, one by one coming to Li Xia's house to play the victim. The two kind-hearted people softened and lent out the money their sons had deposited with them."
"These aren't relatives, they're a bunch of vampires. They figured Eve was going to get paid, and these relatives showed up. They're not even human."
"Later, somehow Eve discovered that all the money she had sent to her parents had been lent to these vampire-like relatives. After that, she never sent money to the two elderly people again. She just sent them enough money to support the two kind old folks."
"When their relatives couldn't borrow money from Li Xia's family, they started to sow discord between the two kind-hearted people, saying things like, 'A son is no longer under his mother's control now that he has money, but he doesn't hand it over to his parents to manage. A young man spends as much as he earns, and if he doesn't have money to buy a house or a car in the future, how will he get married?' These two old folks are senile, and after being instigated by these relatives, they actually went to make trouble for their son."
"As a result, the originally harmonious family was turned into chaos by these relatives. In the end, Li Xia could not bear it any longer and asked the village chief to mediate. The village chief just tried to smooth things over. Li Xia had no choice but to go to the city and never came back."
"Later, Lixia's father accidentally fell while helping a relative with something, and then couldn't get up. The family took Lixia's father to the hospital, and then called Lixia's mother, asking her to bring money to the hospital to pay for the treatment."
"This simple-minded woman actually took the money to the hospital. After she arrived at the hospital, all her relatives had disappeared. She didn't have enough money on her, so she had to call her son to ask for more. But after a few days, she still couldn't be saved and died."
"What's even more bizarre is that after Li Xia returned, these relatives swarmed around her like a pack of wolves who saw a piece of fat meat. On the surface, they were helping Li Xia with her father's funeral arrangements, but in reality, they took advantage of Li Xia's lack of knowledge about funeral customs and took this opportunity to fleece her relentlessly."
"Li Xia's father passed away, leaving only her elderly mother. In order to make her mother's life better, she discussed with Li Laoshuan's family about rebuilding their old house with her own money so that her mother could enjoy her old age there. But what no one expected was that after the house was renovated, it was occupied by that shameless Li Laoshuan. He even made Li Xia's mother call Li Xia every day. If she couldn't get money from Li Xia, the old woman wouldn't even be able to eat."
"In the end, the old woman had no choice but to go to the city to find her son. But unexpectedly, Eve died in a car accident. Oh dear, it really feels like God has no eyes."
As the bureau chief listened to the elderly people recounting the story of Li Xia's family, he was surprised to learn that Li Xia's family had gone through so much.
"Leaders, it's good that you're here. You should go and take a look. The relatives of the Li Xia family are fighting at the Li Xia family's house, and it's getting serious!" A villager came over, panting, and said.
"These damned relatives must know that the Li Xia family is extinct, so they're here to divide up the Li Xia family's property," an old man said.
"Let's go take a look," the bureau chief said with a frown, leading his group toward Li Xia's house...
"Sir, I'd like to ask if Ruhuan is here with you?" A young man with dyed yellow hair came to the Yuxian Public Security Bureau and asked.
"Who are you? What do you want with her?" The policeman looked at the energetic young man in front of him, who didn't seem like a good person, so he didn't want to talk to him.
"Hehe, I'm her distant cousin. I heard she was arrested here, so I wanted to ask what she did wrong," the energetic young man said, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and handing it to the policeman with a fawning expression.
The policeman glanced at the cigarette in the young man's hand, but didn't take it. He just stared at him coldly. The young man quickly and awkwardly put the cigarette back into his pocket, then waited respectfully for the policeman's answer.
"Let me see your ID card!" The police officer's expression was very serious; he wanted to see the young man's ID card.
"ID card? Hmm, please wait a moment, sir, I'll get it for you right away," the energetic young man frantically rummaged through his pockets, then looked at the policeman with a miserable expression.
"Well, sir, I was in a real hurry when I left and I forgot my ID card. Could you please do me a favor? I just want to see my cousin," the blond-haired man pleaded.
"Didn't bring it? Then read your ID number aloud and I'll register it for you," the policeman said coldly, looking at the energetic young man.
"I'm not well-educated, so I can't remember," the energetic young man said with a look of nonchalance.
"Then go back and get it. Once you have it, I'll register it for you," the police officer said, preparing to leave.
The young man glared at the policeman with a sinister look, then left the police station dejectedly...
"Alright, Lixia, I have some very unfortunate news for you. Your mother has passed away. She hanged herself near your family's cemetery!" The police officer approached Lixia and said this, observing her reaction.
"Hanging? Suicide? How could that be? How could she hang herself? You must have made a mistake, right? Ah! You must have made a mistake!" Li Xia suddenly stood up, looking at the policeman with hopeful eyes, as if she wanted him to tell her, "I was just kidding you, your mother is alive and well."
"Sigh... please accept my condolences," the policeman said before leaving the interrogation room.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" The bureau chief arrived at Li Xia's house and saw a group of men and women standing at the door, holding all sorts of farm tools, ready to start a fight.
When the crowd saw the police arrive, they quickly put away their batons and looked at the officers with fawning expressions.
"You've come at the perfect time, sir. Be a notary for us, so things won't get chaotic," an old man who looked to be nearly sixty or seventy years old said with a grin, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. A pungent smell of smoke emanated from the old man's voice.
The bureau chief subconsciously took two steps back, then coldly looked at the crowd who were preparing to exploit the family. What family ties? They were all fake. Few people had any hope for you; many hoped you would be poorer and worse off than them.
"What? The old lady's body hasn't even been laid to rest yet, and you're already preparing to eat her off? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
“Well, the old lady has already passed away, so let’s take stock of Li Xia’s belongings here first, and then see how much each person should receive, and how much money we should use to bury the old lady, right? If we don’t take stock of these things, how will we know how much money we need to use? Don’t you think so?” the old man said to the bureau chief.
"You relatives don't need to worry about this. I'll have my men bring Lixia back in a bit," the bureau chief said, looking at his relatives' excited expressions, feeling a wave of nausea.
"Sir, you're really joking. I heard that Lixia is still in the old lady's arms. Where are you going to find Lixia and bring her back?" The old man looked at the policeman, who seemed to be an official, with a disbelieving expression.
"I'm not kidding. If you don't leave here, I'll prosecute you for trespassing and robbery!" the police chief said, looking at his relatives.
"Hehe, boss, don't be like that. I know what you're thinking. As long as you act as a notary for us, we're not the kind of people who don't understand things. We'll pay you the notary fee when it's done," the old man winked at the bureau chief.
"Go make a call and have someone bring Lixia back. Her mother has already passed away, so it's impossible to keep her locked up. Besides, the murderer has been found, so it's none of their business anymore," the chief said to his subordinate.
"Okay, I'll have someone bring Li Xia and the others back right away," the subordinate said, taking out his phone and starting to call the bureau...
“Sir, what you’re doing is pointless, isn’t it? I know you’re the leader, but you can’t be this ruthless, can you? Li Xia’s family is already extinct, and you’re still finding someone to replace her. Aren’t you afraid…?” Another old man looked at the bureau chief and said in a somewhat meaningful tone.
"Get all these people aside. If anyone resists, arrest them, lock them up for half a month, file them up, and see if their descendants can pass the civil service exam later," the bureau chief said.
"What a big official you are! Are you trying to bully us ordinary people? But we are not afraid. The entire Li Xia family is dead. We, their relatives, have the right to inherit. So what kind of person are you, a police officer, if you don't arrest bad guys and find criminals?"
"Oh! You know a bit about the law, looks like you came prepared?" the bureau chief joked.
"That's a must. I've been studying it at home for over half a month now, and I still remember some of it," the old man said proudly.
"I heard you swindled a lot of money from the Li Xia family before?" the bureau chief asked, looking at the relatives.
"What? Fraud? We're all honest farmers, how could we possibly do such criminal things? Besides, the money or property that Li Xia's parents gave us was voluntary, not coerced, so it can only be called a gift, not fraud. Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation. You all saw it, this official defamed me..." The old man shouted at his relatives and the villagers who were watching the show.
About half an hour later, a police car drove up from a distance and came to the courtyard of Lixia. The car door opened and a man and a woman got out of the car!
"What...what's going on? Wasn't he supposed to be dead? How is he still standing here alive?" A group of relatives watched as Li Xia got out of the car. Some of the more timid ones started to hide far away, fearing that Li Xia had come back from the dead.
“I sent two people to look for your mother last night, but they couldn’t find her. In fact, two of our colleagues died. Your mother’s body was only found this morning. Lixia, you have to pull yourself together and bury your mother properly first.” The director patted Lixia on the shoulder and said.
"What should we do now? They're not all dead yet. They're still standing right in front of us, alive and well."
"What should we do? Keep going. What good is it if he's still alive? The authorities have already declared him dead, and there's a death certificate. All we need to do now is go to the notary office, bring our documents, and apply for all of Li Xia's assets."
"Yes, the government has already announced that he is dead. Even if he were not dead, so what? It wouldn't affect our inheritance of his property at all."
Now that you're back, we won't interfere with your mother's funeral arrangements. We have very important things to do. Goodbye, Lixia.
These relatives, upon seeing Li Xia's appearance, immediately sensed a crisis. They decided to take advantage of Li Xia's busy schedule arranging her mother's funeral to go to the notary office, obtain a certificate, and then inherit all of Li Xia's property.
Even if Li Xia asks him for money in the future, there won't be any problem, because this matter is the government's fault and has nothing to do with ordinary people like him.
"Should I give the go-ahead and freeze all your accounts?" the bureau chief asked, watching the people hurriedly leaving.
"Alright, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble these relatives will cause," Li Xia said coldly, looking at the flustered relatives.
"Then you go ahead with your work, I have things to take care of. Li Xia, sigh..." The director saw Li Xia's current situation and thought that if he had a group of such snobbish relatives, he would also be annoyed.
"Fellow villagers, I need your help with my mother's matter. Don't worry, I won't let you help me for nothing. I will give you some reward," Li Xia said, looking at the villagers who were still watching the commotion.
“We’re all from the same village, so helping each other is only right, don’t you all agree?” Some villagers who were about to leave heard that Li Xia was offering payment and quickly turned back to start preparing for Li Xia’s mother’s funeral…
“There are bugs in this village,” Ru Huan said, looking at the group of young girls not far away.
"Insects? There are insects everywhere in the countryside," Li Xia said nonchalantly, and then began to arrange for the villagers to bathe and prepare her mother for burial...
With Li Xia's money, her mother's affairs were handled very smoothly. A black coffin was placed in the main room, while the villagers suggested that the coffin be placed outside the house, since the old lady had been carried in from outside.
There's a custom in the countryside that if someone dies outside, they can't be brought inside the house; their body can only be placed next to the house. Li Xia said these were all superstitions, and besides, she wouldn't be living in this house anyway, so she simply put her mother's coffin inside...
Li Xia watched as the villagers busily made arrangements, entrusting all her affairs to a villager she considered competent, while she knelt before her mother's coffin and memorial tablet.
Ru Huan kept staring at the young girls, who had been infected by the insects. Neither she nor Li Xia had these insects on them, so how did these insects get to this place?
"Have you discovered it?" Suddenly a voice rang out behind Ru Huan.
"So it was you. Now that explains everything. I think you're about to die. Go back and prepare for your funeral," Ru Huan said without turning her head.
"Can you save me? Like your uncle Lixia?" the hyena asked Ruhuan.
"Why should I save you?" Ru Huan's tone was extremely cold.
“That’s true. Name your terms. I’ll do anything for you as long as you keep me alive!” the hyena said.
"No need!" Ru Huan still refused.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill everyone in this village?" the hyena asked.
"Whatever you want!"
"Then I'll kill Li Xia first!"
"Whatever you want!"
"Alright, since we're all going to die anyway, I'll take these people with me. At least I won't be lonely on the road to the underworld!" After saying that, the hyena left...
Ru Huan just coldly watched these people, feeling like a bystander. These people were busy, some for money, some for fame and fortune, and some were willing to hurt those around them to achieve their goals, climbing over the corpses or wounds of these people to get ahead...
Night slowly fell. After helping out, the villagers had all left after dinner, leaving only a group of people playing music and drums, and a group of Taoist priests performing rituals for Li Xia's mother.
These people walked ahead, and Li Xia followed them around and around in the courtyard. According to the rural custom, after a person dies, they go to the underworld, but the journey there is not always smooth.
Therefore, in order for their deceased relatives to smoothly enter the underworld, the only option is to seek out powerful Taoist masters to clear the way for them, help eliminate the evil spirits that are about to rob them, and allow their loved ones to be reincarnated and start anew in the underworld...
Because Li Xia was an only child with no brothers or sisters, and no wife or children, all his relatives were busy trying to get their own property, so no one came to see him. Therefore, he was all alone when he sent his mother to the underworld. Everyone who saw him like this felt very sad.
After a long night of work, things finally calmed down. The atmosphere team had been busy all day, banging drums and gongs, and were very tired. Li Xia found a room and settled them in to sleep.
Before long, the Taoist masters finished their work, and then Li Xia arranged for them to go to sleep.
By the time Lixia had finished arranging things for everyone, it was already late at night. She then went to her mother's coffin and began preparing to keep vigil for her.
"Tap, tap, tap..." Heavy footsteps came from outside, and a person slowly walked towards Lixia from inside the dam...
The hyena coldly stared at Lixia kneeling in front of the coffin, then stood behind her without saying a word.
“Insects, really insects. It seems the insects Ru Huan was talking about are different from the insects I had in mind,” Li Xia glanced at the hyenas behind her.
The hyena stared blankly at Lixia, knowing that Lixia and the woman with her were his enemies. That's why he came here, intending to kill these two potential threats.
The ground floor, which was originally a grayish-white color under the electric lights, was now being rapidly covered by something pitch black, which spread across the ground floor and rushed into the house!
Countless insects swarmed behind the hyena, layer upon layer, waiting for the hyena's command so that they could rush forward and devour the human until nothing was left!
"Want to kill me? Can you give me two days to bury my mother before you make your move?" Li Xia said calmly, without fear or apprehension.
The insects behind the hyena suddenly stirred, as if they disagreed with Lixia's request. Lixia had to die tonight! Otherwise, things might get complicated!
Just then, a rope suddenly appeared around the hyena's neck, and the hyena suddenly sensed a dangerous aura...
"Special Operations Team?" The deputy director looked at the two composed young men in front of him and felt a headache coming on. Director Mao had disappeared, and he was here to temporarily take over Director Mao's work.
I received a lot of calls to the police, saying that there were two psychopathic killers who were killing people everywhere. I quickly organized a team and finally brought the two murderers to justice, but the two of them didn't seem to care at all.
Then they produced their identification, indicating they were from a special operations group, but upon checking, they found they didn't have the necessary permissions! They tried to get something out of these two mysterious people, but they remained silent.
If we release them, they'll continue killing; if we don't, they'll be left here to face consequences.
The deputy director was caught in a dilemma and could only ask his superior for instructions. Not long after, the superior ordered the deputy director to release the two mysterious men and not to interfere with what they were doing in Langcheng. He was also instructed to help the two mysterious men with some matters.
Upon receiving instructions from his superiors, the deputy director immediately released the two mysterious men and then assigned his most capable subordinate to follow them, fearing that these two troublesome individuals might cause problems within his jurisdiction.
But the two mysterious men had just stepped out of the police station when they suddenly stopped and stood at the entrance, looking around as if waiting for something to appear.
"What? They stopped at the door?" The deputy director was also a little surprised when he heard this, and then he went to the window of his office.
"This...this..." The deputy director stared in disbelief at the scene outside, then rushed to the phone, his trembling fingers dialing a number.
"Hello, is this the Armed Police Riot Squad? Hurry, hurry, there's been a riot here! Please come to our aid immediately!" The deputy director wiped the cold sweat from his face as he sounded the alarm!
Countless police officers rushed out of the building and arrived at the square in front of the Public Security Bureau, all armed with various weapons and ready for action...
"Why are so many people here? Is a riot about to break out?" Countless police officers were still unaware of what was happening when a dark mass of people slowly walked towards them from not far ahead.
Standing upstairs, the deputy director looked down at the throngs of people, a dense, endless crowd stretching as far as the eye could see. A chill ran through him; the city was doomed! he thought to himself.
"Where is this place?" Director Mao opened his eyes groggily and felt that he had come to a very dark place. There seemed to be a person lying in front of him. Director Mao rubbed his eyes and then struggled to get up from the ground.
This is a corpse! Director Mao looked at the person lying motionless on the ground, the bodily fluids on the floor already congealed, and wondered how long they had been dead.
Director Mao covered his nose and walked up to the corpse. He squatted down and found that the corpse's back looked like it had been hit hard by something and was dented. It would be strange if it hadn't died after suffering such a serious injury.
Director Mao was about to turn the body over to see who it was, whether it was male or female, but then he thought that it had been dead for so long that he wouldn't be able to see anything by turning it over.
Director Mao ignored the corpse and began searching for an exit in the dimly lit house, intending to leave and make further plans.
Just after Director Mao left, the fingers of the corpse lying motionless on the ground, which were already rotting and stuck to the floor, suddenly twitched!
Director Mao searched everywhere in the dimly lit room, but the room felt very spacious. He didn't know where to leave. He opened one door, and there was another dimly lit room. There were countless doors and countless rooms.
"This room feels somewhat familiar!" Director Mao suddenly felt as if he had wandered around and returned to the room where he had found the body.
To prove that this was the same house he had lived in, Director Mao went to the middle of the living room, where the corpse was lying.
When Director Mao arrived in the living room, he found the corpse still lying on the floor. Was he really trapped here?
Then he remembered what the two mysterious men had told him before they left: some phone numbers are not meant to be dialed, so don't dial them if you can't get through. If you do manage to dial one, you'll be dead!
Director Mao suddenly felt a sense of fear, but just then, his phone rang!
Director Mao grasped at a straw, quickly pulled out his phone, ready to answer the call and call someone to rescue him. But when he saw the phone number, his fear intensified. This mysterious number was calling him again!
In the dimly lit and quiet room, Director Mao's phone rang like thunder, echoing throughout the entire house! Director Mao hurriedly tried to hang up, but no matter how many times he pressed the buttons, the call wouldn't end!
Just as Director Mao was panicking and about to hang up the phone, the corpse lying motionless on the ground began to move slowly. The corpse used its hands as support points and slowly lifted its body off the floor.
Director Mao was oblivious to the state of his own body. He had already thrown his phone on the ground and was kicking it hard, trying to crush the damned phone. But even though the phone was already broken into pieces by Director Mao, it still stubbornly kept ringing, as if it would ring forever if Director Mao didn't answer it...
