Chapter 15 Blood Eyes (V)

After coming out of the gate of the community and turning a corner, Jack came to the place where Fiona's body fell with a shovel. This place has been cleaned up, even the sewage has been washed, and there is no strong garbage smell at this moment, but there is still a green trash can parked in the corner. He opened the three trash cans close to the corner, and endured the stench that kept rising from the garbage alley, and searched inside one by one with a shovel. However, after searching for a long time, he did not find the dead dog that Uncle Wang mentioned. After careful recollection, the place Uncle Wang mentioned must be here. There is no better place to throw a dead dog around than here.

 Ten minutes later, Jack gave up searching, convinced that the dead dog was gone. He stuffed the shovel into the trash can, found a small ramen shop not far from the alley, went into the kitchen to wash his hands with hand sanitizer, and ordered a large bowl of ramen with noodles and meat in this shop. While eating, he thought that Uncle Wang would definitely not lie, and the dead dog must have existed just now and must have been thrown into the trash can. He was a little stunned when he thought of this. Wouldn't this dead dog be picked up by some unscrupulous guy and stewed? ! Anyway, the person who picked it up wouldn't eat it himself, and it could be made into delicious dog meat and sold to make money.

 Thinking of this, Jack's face showed a strange color, and he couldn't help asking the shop owner who happened to walk by: "Sister Hui, your shop is all beef, no dog meat, right?" Sister Hui stopped and looked at him seriously: "Jack, eating dog meat in this weather, I just want to ask you if it's dry?" "Just asking." Jack smiled and lowered his head to concentrate on eating noodles. Usually he doesn't have a big appetite, and this bowl of beef ramen with extra portions made his stomach round.

 After leaving the ramen shop, Jack didn't rush home, but walked around the street twice to digest it. As night fell, more and more people walked and strolled on the street, and a small square nearby was crowded with dancing aunties. There are many missing tiles on the streets in this old city that have not been repaired, and pedestrians have to walk carefully when there are many people. After walking for half an hour, Jack turned back to the Ivy Community.

 When he went upstairs, he saw that the place on the first floor where the dead dog originally appeared was now covered with a layer of grayish-white fine ash, which could absorb the moisture on the ground and prevent the stench from spreading. It should be done by Uncle Wang. This old man usually looks hot-tempered, but he is actually kind-hearted and likes to help his neighbors. When passing the third floor, Jack noticed that Fiona's residence was still surrounded by yellow cordons and was still blocked. He glanced at it and remembered the strange scene when Fiona's body stood at the end of his bed. He suddenly felt scared. He went up to the fourth floor in a few steps, took out the key to open the door, and went into the house to close the door.

 He pressed the light switch, but there was no response. Jack was stunned for a moment, pressed it twice, and still had no response. He looked at the water dispenser in the living room that had been plugged in, and the green light that was always on had gone out. There should be a problem with the circuit in the house. With the light outside the window, he walked to the door of the bedroom, ready to find a flashlight to see if the switch had tripped.

 Just when he walked to the door of the bedroom, he remembered that the flashlight had been broken when he was fighting with Fiona's body. At this moment, the broken flashlight was lying quietly in the trash can next to the sofa. Jack turned around and prepared to go downstairs to buy it. But at this moment, his eyes fixed and vaguely saw a foot in dark pants at the kitchen door, which quickly retracted into the kitchen.

 Seeing this scene, Jack held his breath immediately. There was someone in the house! Moreover, the light circuit was broken! He immediately realized that this was probably not accidental, perhaps it was caused by the guy who sneaked into the house. At the same time, he had a deep resentment towards the lock on the living room door. This lock must be changed. The people in the investigation team can come in, and the people hiding in the house can also come in. It feels that this lock has become a pure decoration.

 I can't stay in the house any longer. I don't know how long that person has been in. Maybe the other party has prepared means against me and is waiting for me to go home. Jack didn't believe that this person was a thief, because it couldn't be such a coincidence. Now, whether it was Fiona or the thief, they had been visiting him one after another in the past two days. Just now, when he walked into the bedroom, the man who was hiding in the kitchen was about to follow him, but he didn't expect that he suddenly turned around and walked out, so he was discovered. Moreover, this person was wearing ordinary pants, not the clothes of Fiona's corpse, so he should be a living person.

 Jack retracted his gaze and pretended not to see the abnormality at the kitchen door. He muttered to himself: "Why did the power outage trip again?" As he spoke, he came to the door of the living room and reached out to pull the door. At this moment, he found out from the corner of his eye that the person in the kitchen seemed to be unable to hold back, and his figure appeared again, and then a small black shadow flew towards him at an incredibly fast speed.

 Jack had just opened the door at this moment, and before he had time to walk out, he almost subconsciously squatted down after noticing something flying over. With a puff, a kitchen knife sank into the door panel above his head, almost one-third of it. Because the doors of the old residential area were not replaced with metal security doors, the wooden door easily allowed the kitchen knife to embed. When Jack looked up, he was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and felt a chill on his head.

 "Damn, you can throw the kitchen knife so well, are you an acrobat?" A thought quickly came to his mind. Before he could fully stand up, a tall man at the kitchen door had already rushed out at the same time as the kitchen knife was thrown, and he hit him with an extremely violent side shoulder. Jack had not yet stood firm at this time, and the hidden man was tall and majestic, so he was hit hard. The two of them pressed on the living room door, and the door suddenly twisted and deformed with a click.

 The tall man who knocked Jack down moved quickly. After stabilizing his body, he grabbed Jack's arm and tried to drag him into the house. But after grabbing, Jack's five fingers hooked, and his strength was even greater. He sank into the opponent's right arm muscles and grabbed the man abruptly. The tall man felt pain in his right arm, and immediately grabbed the handle of the kitchen knife embedded in the door panel with his left hand, took it off, and chopped it down on Jack's head.

 This knife was very powerful and was intended to kill him. In fact, Jack's head was buzzing after being hit, but he also knew that the man wanted to save his life. After realizing that the kitchen knife was chopped at his forehead, he immediately let go of the man's hands, turned his body to the side, and tilted his head to the left. The kitchen knife fell quickly and chopped the ground next to Jack's right cheek, and a string of sparks came out of the ground. The moment the kitchen knife passed by his face, Jack really felt a sharp wind blowing past his face, and he was almost chopped in the face. His cheeks were burning and his breathing was stagnant.

 He immediately grabbed the man's left hand holding the knife, and a strange force burst out between his five fingers. There was a click, and the man groaned, his wrist broke, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground. The next second, the man punched Jack in the nose, and blood immediately gushed out. Although Jack was stronger at this moment, his fighting experience was obviously not as rich as that of the tall man. He failed to avoid the punch and was knocked dizzy, and his vision became blurred.

 Taking this opportunity, the tall man pressed his right knee against his stomach, and his intact right hand grabbed the kitchen knife on the ground again, this time aiming at his neck and slashing it hard. Jack was numb all over, and his body desperately turned sideways, barely avoiding the blade. The kitchen knife passed along the edge of his ear and slashed into his shoulder with a puff. The intense pain came, and Jack's left side suddenly went numb, as if it no longer belonged to him. He immediately stretched out his right hand, grabbed the tall man's knee, and used all his strange strength, his five fingers were like iron. There was only a click, and the man screamed in pain. Although his knee did not shatter immediately, it was at least fractured.

 The man never expected that it would be easy to attack Jack with his own skills. He never knew that Jack, who was smaller and thinner than him, had such a strong hand! Although he had injured the other party and had the upper hand, it was because he had seized the initiative by the sneak attack. But the tall man was also injured, with a broken left wrist and a cracked left knee. Enduring the severe pain from these two injuries, the man raised the kitchen knife again and was about to chop Jack's neck.

 At this moment, a strange sound suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the door behind. The sound sounded like grinding teeth, and it seemed to come from the throat, like a strong warning from some animal before it was about to attack.
