Almost.
So close.
Ning Qiu Shui would have died in the hands of that horrible woman!
If it wasn't for Liu Chengfeng rushing out with the Blood Jade at the critical moment to lay down his life to help, Ning Qiu Shui would have died for sure!
"Many thanks ..."
Ning Qiushui sat cross-legged on the ground, one hand propped up on his knee, gasping for air.
Just now ... it really was all perilous!
Liu Chengfeng shook his head as he slapped his trembling legs:
"I should be the one to thank you, little brother. ..."
"If you hadn't brought me to this place, I guess I would have turned around and been eaten by that horrible woman sooner or later!"
After saying that, he laughed again.
It was undisguised, the joy of escaping from death.
Liu Chengfeng was like a patient who had lost his mind, lying on the ground and laughing.
Only after a long time did he return to normal.
"By the way little brother ... what about the others?"
Liu Chengfeng righted the old lady's body and confirmed that she was not in any serious trouble before he asked Ning Qiushui.
The latter's gaze flickered slightly.
"We absolutely can't go out now ...."
"It's too treacherous outside, wait until tomorrow to see if we can contact them from the third floor, if it's really not possible, then we can be considered to have done our duty with benevolence."
Ning Qiushui seemed to appear indifferent to the deaths of strangers.
He certainly didn't mind pulling those people along, especially since those people didn't have any grudges against him.
But the premise was that ... himself wouldn't be in danger.
After all, at that time, when asking these people if they were willing to come with him to risk their lives to find out the truth, not a single one of them had stepped forward.
Dangerous things he went to do, other people sit and enjoy the benefits, this kind of thing for who will not be happy.
He wasn't some holy monk who had great mercy and compassion and was universal.
"By the way little brother ... I have another question."
After Liu Chengfeng basically recovered, he seemed to remember something.
"Ask."
"Why do you ... know the killing laws of that ghostly thing in the villa?"
At the mention of this question, Ning Qiushui was silent in the darkness for a while.
"Because, before I got on the bus, I had received an anonymous letter."
"Letter?"
"Yes. The letter gave me a picture and a few words."
After saying that, Ning Qiushui slowly read out those few words:
"The wind does not light lamps, the rain does not burn candles."
"The day does not ascend the stairs, the night does not close the eyes."
Upon hearing these four sentences, Liu Chengfeng's jaw dropped and a look of disbelief appeared on his face:
"I have a rub ... right ah!"
"Little brother, you're too good, there's someone high up behind you!"
"So, what about that photo?"
Ning Qiushui glanced at him, her gaze moving slightly.
"You want to know?"
Liu Chengfeng's face was stunned.
"Why, is it inconvenient?"
"If it's inconvenient ..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Ning Qiushui reach inside her black checkered shirt and take out a somewhat yellowed photo, pointing it at him head-on.
The latter looked at the photo, and his pupils suddenly shrunk!
"No way ..."
Under the reflection of the moonlight, Liu Chengfeng saw that it was a photo of a person.
And the photo is not someone else ... exactly him Liu Chengfeng!
The two of them looked at each other, just across a thin photo, did not speak for a long time.
Liu Chengfeng saw his own photo, but did not see the words behind the photo.
Yes, behind this yellowed old photo, there is also a line of black handwriting ---.
[A Friend Worth Making ... But 100,000 Reasons]
Liu Chengfeng stretched out his hand, still wanting to hold it in his hand for a closer look, but Ning Qiu Shui took back the photo and smiled at him:
"Surprised, right?"
"I'm surprised too."
"Originally, I thought it was just a prank or that someone had filled out the wrong recipient ..."
"But when I woke up on that bus and saw you, I realised that it wasn't as simple as I thought."
"That bus without a driver, that mysterious fog, that weird bloody door ... and us on the bus."
"Behind all of this, there must be a hand that we can't see manipulating!"
Liu Chengfeng smiled bitterly.
"Little brother ... Forgive me, the real world, I'm afraid that there is only no one who has the ability to do all this."
"You've seen the situation outside."
"That's simply not something humanly possible."
Ning Qiushui was silent.
He didn't continue to argue on this matter.
But that mysterious letter, so far, everything on it had been fulfilled.
The bizarre Blood Sect, the strange Law of Killing ... and a friend he didn't even know, but could risk his life to come out and save him.
This is a very scary thing.
It was as if ... there was always someone staring at him in a place he couldn t see!
There were no words for the rest of the night.
The duo hadn't had much sleep on the first night, and now after experiencing such tension and easing off, sleepiness came in like a tidal wave.
It wasn't until the arrival of the following morning that the silence of the villa was broken by the mournful screams coming from the first floor.
Obviously, another death had occurred.
Moreover, what made the survivors on the first floor feel even more horrified was not only the fact that they woke up to new deaths, but also the fact that three people were missing!
In this case, aside from Ning Qiushui, who was the backbone of the crowd's hearts, there were also important mission roles!
After all, the Blood Sect had given them the task of taking care of the old man in bed for 5 days.
Now that the damn old man was gone, what were they taking care of a hammer for?
Ning Qiushui and Liu Chengfeng listened to the voices of the people on the first floor and learnt that the one who died last night, was the man called North Island.
He was eaten.
"Oooooooo..."
"They ... why are they all gone ..."
"Have they all been ..."
"Oooooh ..."
"I'm so scared! I don't want to die here ..."
Yan Youping's intermittent cries came from downstairs.
Liu Chengfeng screamed loudly at the window, wanting to pass the message down below, but it seemed that their voices were bound to the third floor, and no one came to the rescue ... er or heard them, even if Liu Chengfeng screamed at the top of his voice.
"Alright, stop howling."
Looking at Liu Chengfeng's unrelenting appearance, Ning Qiushui slightly shook her head.
Liu Chengfeng felt a little uncomfortable with Ning Qiushui's indifference.
"Little brother, aren't you a doctor, there are two living people down there, we just give up on them, isn't that a little too ..."
Ning Qiushui closed her eyes and said:
"Although I'm a veterinarian, there are three things I don't save in the practice of medicine."
Liu Chengfeng froze:
"Three don't save, which three don't save?"
