29 Cave 13 || Bride
Tian Yiyi said: "Can't a grown man be more motivated?"
It’s no wonder that Lei Daoquan reacted so strongly, because there was only a piece of human skin left in the sedan chair.
There were no bones, no flesh, and the once snow-white skin was now dyed bright red, like a red wedding dress. The human skin sat quietly in the sedan chair, with a hemp rope hanging from the ceiling around its neck, stimulating everyone's eyes.
Xu Yaoyu tried to hold it back several times but couldn't, so he turned around and vomited.
Tian Yiyi turned pale and looked away, unable to bear the sight.
"This... this, how did it become like this?" Old Man Li was already old, and seeing such a scene, Yan Shuang was worried for him, wondering if he could withstand it. After watching for a while, he shook his head with regret, "Hey, what a good young man..."
Several people cast sympathetic glances at Ye Qi. Her boyfriend had died in such a tragic way right before her eyes. She remained indifferent, neither shouting nor shedding tears, staring at the man in front of her, who was only a shell left.
Jingning glanced at the deceased, put down the curtain, turned around and walked towards the gate.
Everyone followed Jing Ning with their heads down. The performance made everyone silent. The newcomers no longer dared to jump around. A living example was right in front of them.
Yan Shuang walked last, but couldn't help but say to Ye Qi: "The dead cannot be resurrected. Say goodbye properly. We will wait for you at the exit."
When Yan Shuang was the last one to come out, Lin Haichen said, "Have you seen the conditions for death?"
"It should have been when the lights were turned off. When the lights came on, he was already in the sedan chair." He didn't know what happened when the lights were off. Yan Shuang only described the details of what he saw when the lights were on. After finishing, he added, "And when the lights were off, I smelled blood. At first I thought it was just an illusion."
Lin Haichen's face was tense, his hands clasped lightly in front of his chest, his brows furrowed, and he asked in doubt, "The smell of blood?"
"Yes, didn't you smell it?" Yan Shuang said.
Several people looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Did you hear any other sounds?" Lin Haichen asked Chen Rujing.
Chen Rujing stared blankly ahead, stunned for a moment before coming to her senses. She must have been terrified. "Ah? What?"
"I'm asking you a question! You're almost dead, and you're still just sitting there in a daze." Lei Daoquan's face was gloomy, and he yelled at Chen Rujing to regain the face he had just lost. There was no other way. The others were too lazy to pay attention to him, so he just took advantage of those who were easy to bully and put on airs.
Chen Rujing hunched her shoulders and replied, "When the lights were turned off, I heard Liu Hu crying, and then the woman behind me said that a bride crying is considered a good omen."
Now Lei Daoquan was furious and quickly confirmed, "There is someone in the seat in front of me, did you hear me right?" There was an empty seat between Lei Daoquan and Chen Rujing.
Chen Rujing shook her head and said with certainty: "No, that person said it right behind me."
Lei Daoquan muttered an extremely unpleasant curse word, which was the only outlet for the anger and fear in his heart. His face turned very ugly, his brows were tightly furrowed, and a thin layer of sweat even appeared on his forehead.
He was in the crowd and felt that he could no longer bear this environment and atmosphere. Not only was there death, but there were also people everywhere. A strong desire to escape surged in his heart, and his eyes began to look around anxiously.
That’s right, in a closed environment with strange things happening everywhere, it’s not easy to stay mentally calm.
It was only one night, and everyone's faces were tired.
No one expected that the first person to get into trouble would be Liu Hu. What kind of death conditions did he encounter?
At this time, Ye Qi came out of the theater. Liu Hu's departure instantly changed her. She was no longer the girl who would hide in her boyfriend's arms and act like a spoiled child when she encountered problems. With red and swollen eyes, she said expressionlessly, "Let's go."
It was almost morning when they arrived at the hotel. The woman at the front desk stood there as usual, as if she had never left. Her smile was identical to the girl in the theater, and she said in a robotic tone, "Welcome home, travelers."
Jing Ning ignored the woman's presence and strode straight into the corridor. Seeing this, the others also quickened their pace and followed Jing Ning closely, fearing that they would be left behind.
No one asked to go back to their room to rest, even after staying up all night. Instead, Jing Ning led them to stop in front of Ye Qi's door. Yan Shuang immediately understood what he meant and turned to Ye Qi and said, "Would it be convenient for us to go in and take a look? There might be some clues in the room."
Even if she didn't want to, they had many ways to get into the room, but Yan Shuang still felt that asking was a minimum of respect.
Anyone who has experienced the game knows that things in the game will not kill people for no reason. Now that there are deaths without any clues, it can only mean that they have overlooked clues.
Ye Qi quickly took out the key from his pocket and said in a hoarse voice, "It's not inconvenient at all. Please feel free to do as you please."
Jing Ning took the key from her hand and opened the door in two or three seconds.
The layout and style of the rooms were similar. Jing Ning described them as coffin-like rooms. The bed bore traces of two people having slept there, and directly opposite the bed was a stone figure resembling a human.
Jing Ning stopped in front of the stone and stared at it for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Yan Shuang asked when she saw him staring at the stone.
Jing Ning raised his head slightly, revealing his tense jawline, "It's okay, go back and rest."
"Not looking for clues anymore?" Lei Daoquan asked doubtfully.
"The room is so small, if anything was to be discovered, it would have been discovered long ago." Tian Yiyi said.
"Tian Yiyi is right, let's rest for a while." Lin Haichen also agreed. They walked around the room several times but found nothing. They couldn't stay here for seven days without sleep. Who knows what will happen tonight.
"No, he just died..." Lei Daoquan plucked his hair hard, glanced at Ye Qi, and swallowed the rest of his words, "Can you guys sleep? I think it would be safer for everyone to stay together, right?"
Xu Yaoyu said: "There is no such thing as safe or unsafe. Even if we stay together, there will always be ways to separate us."
That's true. Lei Daoquan was speechless.
Before leaving, Yan Shuang gently reminded Ye Qi to be careful.
Ye Qi nodded casually, turned around and closed the door.
When Yan Shuang returned to the room, Jing Ning was lying on the bed, mumbling, "I'm so sleepy. My face has turned yellow."
If others saw him like this, they would be shocked. Their first reaction would be that he was possessed by something. Where was his supposed aloofness and fierceness?
Perhaps because they lived under the same roof, Yan Shuang was used to it. She sat beside the bed and asked, "Did you really not notice?"
Jing Ning raised his head from the bed, his eyebrows raised casually, "What did you find?"
"I always feel that the stones in Ye Qi's room are different from ours." Yan Shuang said.
Jing Ning said nothing.
"It's just my intuition." Yan Shuang said and shook her head, "Or maybe I'm overthinking it."
