Screams and wails seemed to break through the roof.
They were running rampant in the house, trying to get out of this small space.
Xiao Chong bit her finger in a panic, blood flowed from her fingertips, and she smeared it on the gray-white ring one by one.
The ring was stained red by blood, and returned to its previous color within a moment.
At the same time, the bright blue dumplings in the room also became quiet.
They float in the air like clumps of dandelions.
"I'm sorry, they didn't mean to do it, they were just stuck here for too long."
"Your blood has a soothing effect on them?"
Xi Yu's eyes were full of inquiry: "Who are you?"
"I'm Xiaochong, sister, don't you recognize me?"
Xiaochong lowered his head and chuckled, with two blushes on his cheeks. As he said this, he was about to step forward to take Xi Yu's hand, but Xi Yu turned around and dodged him.
"Can you take me to another room?"
"Of course, it's just that my sister needs to go in by herself. My brother doesn't like me entering his room."
The door was opened, and the bright blue light floating in the room instantly dissipated.
The boy is still in front of the window.
Seeing everyone coming out, he had no intention of looking back.
"Why are you still here?"
Hearing the sound, Xi Yu noticed the woman at the stairs.
The woman's face is distorted, her eyes are up and down, her nose is on her forehead, and her big mouth takes up half of her face.
She was lying on all fours, but her head was facing the ceiling, just like when the insect was angry before.
"I'm sorry, mom, I'm going down right now."
Xiaochong glanced at Xi Yu reluctantly, turned around and followed the woman downstairs.
The boy then turned around and focused his attention on the four of them.
Like inquiry, also like compassion.
"Come with me."
He walked to the door and opened it.
The room that neither of them had entered the night before was now open to the owner and invited them in.
Xi Yu nodded and did not refuse.
This room is much larger than the previous one.
At least when you put down the table, chairs, benches and a bed, you can still have a lot of open space.
There is a drawing board covered with white cloth standing in the open space.
Xi Yu focused on the boy.
Eyes facing each other.
Xi Yu: "You don't hate them?"
A trace of surprise flashed in the boy's eyes, and then he shook his head:
"I'm not qualified."
"Why?" Xi Yu asked.
"No matter what, I am the profiteer, and the profiteer has no right to express hatred."
The boy is not half as tall as Xi Yu, but he talks like a grown-up.
"But you are also a complete individual, and what is more, your so-called profit is the cage that imprisons you."
"You guys have finished reading, it's time to go."
The boy chased the guest away with an expressionless expression.
When we got downstairs, it was just time for lunch.
This time, the woman was also at the restaurant.
She was still on all fours, at the end of the dining table, looking around at everyone with her head raised.
The difference is that Xiaochong is wearing red this time.
"Please enjoy your meal."
Xiao Chong smiled and got into the kitchen after distributing the food.
Everyone didn't move, just froze in place and didn't know what to do.
Eating the food will violate the rules, and not eating the food will also violate the rules.
Blue Stripe cursed and slammed his spoon on the table.
No one responded to him, and everyone's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Eat, guests. You will be punished for wasting food."
The woman spoke and laughed, her mouth wide open, and countless tongues sticking out of it, dancing in the air.
Like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, waiting for someone to reveal a flaw and then kill him with one blow.
No one dared to move, and there were only ten minutes left before the end of the meal.
Blue Stripes slumped on the chair and stared at the ceiling with dull eyes, looking like he was at the mercy of others.
Looking at the dinner plate in front of him, Xi Yu raised his hand and walked to the end of the corridor in the eyes of everyone.
There was a knock on the door in the silent room.
Blue Stripes sat upright in his seat, his hands unable to stop shaking.
Seeing that no one responded, Xi Yu knocked on the door harder, which was the same sound as the man knocking on the door that night.
"Who..."
A hoarse voice sounded from behind the door, and the door opened with a creak.
Xi Yu could not hide the man's figure, and everyone in the restaurant could clearly see the man's appearance.
Like a giant ball of jelly.
It was pitch black, and turbid water droplets were falling down along with the voices.
Xi Yu frowned at the stench that hit his face.
"This is your lunch today. As a guest, I feel I have an obligation to repay you for your hospitality during this time."
The man didn't speak for a long time.
The two holes representing eyes are almost touching the plate.
Black juice dripped into the plate as he moved, splashing all over Xi Yu's hands.
The pain spread rapidly, and Xi Yu's painful hands were shaking.
But it still didn't move.
The plate was sent forward two steps, and the man finally caught it.
"……Thanks."
Food and plates were stuffed into his "mouth" indiscriminately.
The man's belly then swelled into the shape of a plate.
"I'm sure you won't be full with such a small amount of food. Please wait a moment."
Xi Yu was very polite and walked back and forth three or four times between the surprised eyes of the two parties. He didn't stop until all the plates were stuffed into the man's mouth.
Eleven thirty.
The meal is over.
The man should have walked out of the door to the restaurant to eat, but he could not move because his belly was full of plates.
The door was slammed shut.
The woman was crawling around the restaurant restlessly, screaming.
"Let's go. I'm too full. Let's go for a walk to eat."
After Xi Yu said this without shame, he led the three of them out of the restaurant.
Unlike yesterday's clouds, the sun was shining brightly outside.
Light and shadow pass through the trees, creating a beautiful Tyndall effect.
Xi Yu returned to the cemetery again.
The stone engraved with Xiao Chong's name still lies in place.
Xi Yu kicked it off the cliff again without a moment's hesitation.
"Xiaoyu! Look here!"
Qin He shouted and pulled Xi Yu to the edge of the cemetery.
There are eight more standing stones.
Xi Yu looked at them one by one and saw that they were the graves of the eight dead players.
In addition, there are eight dug holes and eight huge stones.
Their names are engraved on it.
"This little girl is really diligent."
Gu Qiao smiled and picked up the piece with his name engraved on it.
Li Shu felt awkward looking at his "grave", so he packed up the stone tablets of the three people and threw them down the cliff.
"I don't want to stay in a hellish place like this."
"That's not necessarily true," Qin He smiled bitterly: "It's only the second day, and they are already eager to kill us. Maybe tonight will be our last supper."
Xi Yu didn't say anything. He took a few digs out of his pocket and revealed a bronze key in his palm to the three of them.
"When did you get it?!"
Li Shu lowered his voice, full of surprise.
It was obvious that they had been acting together these two days.
"It was given to me by that boy, this morning."
Gu Qiao smiled and then immersed himself in filling the four holes again.
