Chapter 105
After maintaining this position for a while against the gravity of the earth, Johnny's muscles began to tremble involuntarily, but because he didn't want to be discovered, he still held his breath and maintained the position of sticking to the bed.
The three faces looked under the bed for a while, and seeing that there was no one under the bed, they slowly shrank back. This time Johnny clearly heard the creaking sound of the broken bed, and someone was really cleaning it.
After sweeping the broken bed for a while and changing the sheets, he saw several ankles reappear and then gradually move away from the broken bed.
It’s four, four ankles…and one maid is missing.
Johnny counted them clearly and almost choked, but he still didn't let go.
Sure enough, one minute later, on the originally quiet bed, a smiling face appeared again, hanging upside down along the edge of the bed, looking under the bed.
When it saw that there was still no one under the bed, the smiling face gradually disappeared and shrank back.
Then Johnny saw its ankles, too, and watched it move away from the broken bed.
Johnny slowly relaxed his grip, carefully laid down on the ground, and breathed heavily and silently.
What a cunning guy.
Now Johnny also felt that only a fool would believe that these weirdos didn't notice them.
After lying there for a while, he turned over and crawled slowly and hard in the opposite direction of the servants. He wanted to find another place to hide immediately.
Two maids in the room walked to the closet, and after simply dusting the surface of the closet with a feather duster, they tried to open the closet and clean the inside, reaching out to pull the closet door.
The black-haired girl noticed someone pulling the door from the outside, and her heart rose to her throat. In panic and despair, she dared not make any sound and grabbed the cabinet door tightly from the inside.
The maid outside pulled the door twice and felt as if something was stuck in the cabinet from the inside.
The maid tried a few more times and then turned back to call others: "I can't open this cabinet."
"Idiot, can't you use more force?" After hearing this, the middle-aged woman walked to the closet on her own, grabbed the handle of the closet with both hands, and pulled it back and forth with great force.
The cabinet was pulled back and forth, making a banging noise. The black-haired girl hiding inside banged her head against the cabinet several times. She was almost scared to tears and prayed desperately in her heart that they would leave quickly.
Although the closet looks like a good place to hide yourself, it is small and there is no other way. Once someone is in front of you, hiding in such a place is tantamount to seeking death.
One of the maids outside asked, "Is this cabinet broken?"
Another maid said: "I heard something banging around inside. It seemed like there was something inside."
All the other servants in the room put down their work, even the maid who was standing on a bench and trying to poke Lu Jiamu with a broom got down from the bench.
They gathered together beside the closet and watched quietly.
The middle-aged woman pulled the cabinet and shook it back and forth several times. Because the shaking was irregular, the black-haired girl inside was caught off guard and bumped into things.
The servants outside all looked at the closet and said, "Sure enough, there is something blocking the door."
One of the maids put her ear to the closet door.
The black-haired girl failed to grab the door as she staggered, but the middle-aged woman had stopped and was no longer trying to pull the door.
The black-haired girl couldn't see what was happening outside, so she covered her mouth with her free hand.
Then she heard a moment of silence outside, and then a female voice almost right in front of her face said, "I heard breathing."
This was equivalent to knowing that someone was hiding in the closet. The black-haired girl had no way to escape, and she hesitated whether to go out and have a good talk with them.
It was wrong for her to break into someone else's house, but even if she called the police and got caught, it was better than continuing to live in fear in this closet.
Just as the black-haired girl made up her mind, the middle-aged woman outside took a broom from another maid, inserted the iron rod into the door handles on both sides, and bolted the closet door directly.
This time it was the black-haired girl who couldn't get out. She found out about this and banged on the door in panic, but it wouldn't open.
The middle-aged woman ignored the sound in the closet, waved her arms and knocked the entire closet to the ground.
The black-haired girl hiding inside was thrown down by the closet without any preparation, and her head hit the closet door. Her vision was blurred and her ears were buzzing. The closet became completely quiet.
The middle-aged woman turned around and said, "This closet can't be opened. The door is broken. There may be mice in it. It can't be cleaned. Throw this dirty thing out quickly."
After that, the servants gathered around and lifted the wardrobe together. There was a person hidden in the wardrobe, which was inexplicably heavy, but none of the servants questioned it.
Lu Jiamu hid in the mezzanine, listened to the door closing when they left, and took out the lighter that Johnny gave him in the hospital.
With a click, a small flame sprang up, and Lu Jiamu faced a pale skull in the faint light of the fire.
It was the thing that had just blocked Lu Jiamu from moving deeper into the mezzanine, because after Lu Jiamu reached out and pulled at it a few times, it had already separated into two parts.
But Lu Jiamu knew what was next to him before he lit the lighter, so he was not surprised. He turned around in the mezzanine with difficulty and looked back at the skeleton carefully.
Judging from the color, the bone was too white. It looked fake. But Lu Jiamu had just touched it in the dark, and it felt like real bone.
The clothes it was wearing looked very old and had already been rotten. Lu Jiamu searched through them and only found a wallet that was also almost rotten. It contained some identity documents whose contents were unclear and seemed to be of no use.
Lu Jiamu also noticed that there were thin steel wires between the bones for fixing. This definitely wasn't someone who died here but wasn't found.
This is a real human skeleton. The excessive whiteness may be due to bleaching. It is unknown whether the clothes on it are its own.
But no matter what, making a skeletal specimen, dressing it up, and hiding it in the mezzanine of the room, it all started to seem a bit perverted.
Lu Jiamu withdrew his gaze, moved to the outside of the decorative mezzanine, and looked down from a high vantage point.
Johnny also knew that those people had gone out, so he carefully crawled out from under the bed, but he didn't dare to go too far or make any noise, for fear that the group of servants might come back at any time.
Johnny looked up at the mezzanine and asked with his mouth: She was taken away, what should I do?
Johnny had no confidence in the two of them. They had been together for four days, and he knew clearly that Lu Jiamu's skill points were mainly added to evasion and escape, and his ability to fight head-on was not very strong. This might be the reason why he followed them as a group after they split into two pairs.
Johnny himself was just an ordinary man, not very good at fighting. It would be difficult for the two of them to succeed against a group of monsters.
Lu Jiamu listened for a while before jumping down from the mezzanine, slightly opened the door, and looked out cautiously.
The servants must have gone to move the cabinets, and no one was left on the second floor. From the sound just now, the group should be going downstairs.
"Let's change rooms quickly."
