His face trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't believe it! Don't believe a single word he says!"
"Why?" Jiang Chen asked.
"My nephew has been a loner since he was young. After my brother and his family moved here, he became even more eccentric, often talking to himself."
“Sometimes he would say some pretty scary things.”
"For example, one time, a little girl from a few buildings ahead disappeared, and he actually told everyone that my brother had killed her and frozen the body in the freezer."
"Later, the police came and found the girl's remains in the stomachs of some stray dogs."
"The medical examiner concluded that she may have been drunk and sleeping on the street, and was eaten by a pack of stray dogs."
"Another time, we came here to play and saw a family holding a funeral at the intersection. It seemed that a child in the family had fallen ill and died. I saw the name of the deceased on the mourning hall."
"That evening, I suddenly heard my nephew talking to someone upstairs, and he was calling out the name of that damn kid!"
"This is not the scariest thing."
The man spoke here, as if he was afraid of something. He pulled the few people to the bathroom door with extreme caution, and used the sound of his wife taking a shower inside to cover up the noise before he dared to continue speaking.
"Do you know what's the scariest thing?"
"My nephew died a long time ago!"
"Not long after I came here, I heard he died by jumping from a building."
"My brother and sister-in-law only had this one child. After he died, they cried their hearts out."
"But two days later, when I visited them, they were very happy. I thought they had gotten over their sadness, but that conversation gave me chills."
"They were talking to us, and from time to time they would call out Xiaohao's name, telling him not to make trouble, but there were clearly only four of us in the room at the time!"
"I guess they couldn't accept the fact that their child was dead and had mental problems."
"But a few months later, when I called, something even more terrifying happened!"
"That time, my brother was talking when he suddenly scolded Xiaohao for being naughty and even slapped someone. I thought he was still sick, but who knew I could hear a child crying on the other end!"
"I was so scared that I couldn't sleep that night."
"The next day, I changed my mind and thought that maybe my cousin and his wife couldn't bear the pain of having a child, so they kidnapped someone else's child."
"I was terrified. This is a serious crime."
"I hurried over here and tried to persuade them."
"It was only after we got married that I discovered that the child was actually Xiao Hao!"
When the man said this, veins on his forehead bulged, his face was covered with sweat, and sweat was dripping down his whole body.
He seemed extremely nervous.
"Later, my wife and I tried to escape, but once we were about to leave the urban village, we felt like there were a lot of children behind us."
"They are all my nephew's friends!"
"They don't seem to want us to leave!"
"Tonight, we have more people and we run together. Only in this way can we have a chance of survival."
Finally, he stated his intentions.
"Okay, I'll tell you more later."
Jiang Chen said something perfunctory again.
Then he pulled Sister Hong aside.
Sister Hong was more cautious this time: "Why do they want us to run away with them? Could it be that the uncle and nephew in this family are not alive, and they are all trying to trick us and murder us alone?"
"Maybe."
Jiang Chen remained silent.
At this time, a voice came from the kitchen: "Little girl, can you come and help me pick some vegetables? I'm a little too busy."
It was the previous hostess, she was lying at the kitchen door, calling softly.
"good!"
Jiang Chen agreed on behalf of Sister Hong.
The two of them headed towards the kitchen.
