Room 204 was quiet. The instance had been open for less than six hours, and there were only four survivors. Among the four, Shi Jinzhe and Shehe were two people who could not be simply defined as players. Zhuo Jiajia and Ding Xun felt the pressure increase dramatically, and fear rose uncontrollably in their hearts.
The writhing black-gold fluid, resembling a long, inky serpent, turned around the corner of the house, its mouth snatching Yu Fu's corpse and placing him side by side with Xue Ge on the ground.
Then, Shi Jinzhe drove the dense golden threads to cover the walls of the two rooms, making it look like a large golden cage.
Ding Xun looked at the room wrapped in gold thread and regained a bit of his lost sense of security.
The two corpses, especially Yu Fu's body, had lost a lot of blood, and the smell of blood was pungent. The serpentine fluid lifted the human head, and Shekh then realized that his eyeballs were gone.
"The eyes are here." Shi Jin squatted down halfway, gesturing for Sheh to look at Xuege's face.
The eyeballs stitched up to her eye sockets belonged to Yu Fu, and the last frame before her death was Xue Ge's own face with two black holes.
Shi Jinzhe took out a dagger and cut the taut red thread on Xue Ge's mouth. He used tweezers to pick up the thread and pulled it away. The red color was unevenly distributed; it was blood that had stained the cotton thread.
Without any obstruction from the lines, two red pupils rolled out from deep within her mouth; they were Yu Fu's eyes.
Shekh drew a wisp of black mist from Xuege's mouth, "There are traces of black mist attacking her."
“Two kinds of power.” Shi Jinzhe pointed to the red eyeballs, sensing an unfamiliar power within them.
As he wished, the red flesh and blood was the invading unknown force. The two were respectively possessed by the black and red forces, which is why they started fighting. Although the reason for the fight was unclear, the red flesh and blood did indeed entangle the black mist.
The black mist grew on despair, and it must have done something to trigger Yu Fu's negative emotions, while Xue Ge, under the control of the red flesh and blood, completed the counterattack.
Although the price was huge, he lost his life.
Shi Jinzhe's gaze fell on Yu Fu's broken neck for the third time.
Wang Zao, Zhuo Jiajia who escaped death, and Yu Fu all died by being beheaded.
Gu Li, Xue Ge, and Xiao Yun died in different ways, which should be related to the struggle between the two forces, and they were not killed by the same boss.
Shi Jinzhe remained silent in thought, while Shehe stared blankly at Yu Fu's stomach. Neither of them spoke, and Zhuo Jiajia felt the atmosphere become oppressive again.
Her throat felt a little itchy, and she couldn't help but scratch it a couple of times. Then she asked softly, "Did you see the one next door... before you came into this building this afternoon?"
"I saw it." Ding Xun also felt uncomfortable with no one talking to him, so he was the first to respond. "It was quite obvious, but I was too embarrassed to look any longer."
He kept in mind the psychological projections Shi Jinzhe had mentioned, as well as the fact that Zhuo Jiajia had almost been killed just now. He didn't use specific names, only describing it vaguely.
Shi Jin asked, "Which house is on the right?"
“Yes, the right side.” Zhuo Jiajia nodded. “I really didn’t expect things to be so open during this period. I thought everyone had to hide themselves completely.”
Ding Xun: "It's just an isolated case. The overall trend doesn't represent individuals; it's just that some people are more daring."
Zhuo Jiajia: "That's true. They don't even close the curtains, and they're on the first floor. Aren't they afraid people will see them and call them perverts?"
Ding Xun: "It's also possible that people inside are criticizing those outside, which is why I quickly shifted the focus."
The conversation between the two sounded a bit off. Sheikh lowered his eyes and asked, "Do I look good in it?"
"No..." Ding Xun's unease resurfaced on his face, "I wasn't wearing anything."
Sher could tell he wasn't lying. She exchanged a glance with Shi Jinzhe. She had specifically looked at the adult store before entering, and there wasn't a soul in sight, let alone anyone.
What they see is different.
What appeared before Ding Xun and Zhuo Jiajia was a naked person sitting alone by the window, making no attempt to cover their body.
Shekh didn't ask any more questions. Based on previous experience, the two people would probably see different genders. If they were to communicate effectively, it would likely lead to another life-threatening crisis.
She changed the subject and brought up the issue of heads.
However, the subtle pause made Zhuo Jiajia, who was unusually sensitive at the moment, realize that something was wrong. She wanted to ask, but the itching in her throat made her a little scared, so she didn't dare to say anything more.
Zhuo Jiajia's anxious thoughts were only calmed down when Sher's focused voice rang out again.
She heard Shekh say, “A woman cannot give birth to a child on her own, so stuffing a human head into her belly is a metaphor. The person who does this hates men. What she is trying to express is probably... if you want to continue the family line and pursue same-sex love, then just give birth yourself.”
Shi Jinzhe: "Therefore, the party representing the wife likes to kill by beheading, and then stuff the severed head into the victim's stomach to vent their hatred."
Zhuo Jiajia kept touching her throat, "The way Gu Li and the other two died shows that the man also hated his wife, but what did he hate?"
Shekh: "His eyes and mouth were sewn shut, perhaps because his wife made the matter public, and the loss of face and broken limbs were all his revenge."
"Not only that, their targets of revenge are not limited to the other party."
Shi Jinzhe thought of Wang Zao and Gu Li, who died by beheading and disgrace, respectively.
The husband's mistress is also the wife's target of attack. Perhaps his lover is not very strong, so Wang, who is only slightly taller than an average woman, reminds her of bad memories and becomes the object of her anger.
As for Gu Li, Boss Sun had clearly expressed his disdain for her fitted suit, and warned her to be careful not to be kidnapped by people from the north and south. Therefore, Gu Li represents a foreigner.
Besides what Shech mentioned, another reason for the husband's resentment towards his wife was his hatred of foreign things.
Shi Jinzhe inevitably thought of that shabby adult product store and the first scene Ding Xun described.
A proactive woman and a fake male model.
The woman's moans emanating from before the door was opened, the naked bodies reflected outside the building—even if it were a reflection of their inner thoughts, not everyone would actually be thinking about these things. It was the other side of the story that was guiding them; what they saw and heard was the building revealing its desires.
