Dong dong dong...
A fierce knock on the door rang in Hao Ren's ears, and then a familiar voice came from outside the door, it was Hao Huai.
"Hao Ren, wake up quickly, what time has it been?"
Hao Ren opened his eyes drowsily, as if he had had a terrible nightmare last night.
In the dream, he seemed to have seen a ghost!
"ghost!"
Hao Ren was startled and jumped out of bed in a panic. He rushed to the door and stared at the bottom of the bed.
However, the bottom of the bed was empty except for a few spider webs and a layer of dust.
"Is this really a nightmare?"
Hao Ren shuddered involuntarily when he thought of the ghost that looked like it had been skinned.
Click...
Gently unlock the door, and outside the door is Hao Huai with a huazi in his mouth.
"What's going on with you kid? It's almost noon and you haven't gotten up yet. Believe it or not, the second uncle will be so angry with you that he will get out of the coffin.
Hao Huai looked around the room and said with a mean smile: "You are not a coward in a tile-roofed house, are you?"
"Is it already noon?"
Hao Ren turned back and looked out the window. It was another sunny day today, and the hot sunshine was baking the earth wantonly.
"etc……"
Looking at the opened curtains and a few old textbooks scattered under the table, Hao Ren was stunned.
He could confirm that the curtains were closed!
The fallen textbook on the ground was exactly the same as the one he knocked over in his dream last night.
A terrible thought began to appear in his mind uncontrollably.
The Skinner hiding under his bed last night was real!
"What's wrong with you? Hey, hey..."
Hao Huai patted the stunned Hao Ren, took a puff of cigarette and said: "Such a big thing happened in the village, it's a good thing you can still sleep."
After coming back to his senses, Hao Ren noticed that there still seemed to be sirens blaring in the village.
"What's wrong?" Hao Ren asked.
"Don't you know, someone will die again at the end of the day!" Hao Huai whispered in Hao Ren's ear.
"Another death?"
Hao Ren was a little surprised.
"Yes, Uncle Ping found it in the ditch on the roadside when he came home from the ancestral hall this morning."
Hao Huai took out a Huazi and handed it to Hao Ren: "You're an adult now, take one."
This time, Hao Ren did not refuse. He took the Hua Zi that Hao Huai handed over and took a deep breath.
Cough cough cough…
The cigarette passed through his lungs and almost choked Hao Ren to death.
Seeing Hao Ren's embarrassed look, Hao Huai said with a smile: "You don't know, I went to see the scene, it was so miserable."
"I don't know who is so perverted. He just kills people and skins them off."
Hao Huai shuddered when he thought of the skinned corpse he saw in the morning.
"You mean skinned?"
Hao Ren caught the key word.
"Well, you don't know. When I close my eyes now, all I see are skinned corpses covered in blood and white fat. It's so terrifying."
"Is the body still there?" Hao Ren asked.
"Why do you ask?"
Hao Huai shook his head and said: "The criminal police who were guarding Mrs. Wang's house last night were taken over by a group of people before they finished their investigation, and the body was also taken away by them."
"By the way, I heard someone say they are from some special investigation department."
"Is that so?"
Hao Ren fell into deep thought.
Everything that happened in the past two days caught him off guard. He habitually found a piece of yellowed white paper on the table. Hao Ren planned to write down something and sort it out.
Suddenly, he froze!
There is a piece of white paper filled with keywords in his pocket. Could it be that he wrote it down all by himself?
Hao Ren took out the folded white paper from his pocket, spread it out and frowned at the keywords circled in red marker on the white paper.
[Different], [Selected], [Death], [Photo], [Tenth Person], [Non-Existent Eleventh Person]?
[Bus], [Gan G·1748]
【Forgot】.
Looking at the most circled word [forgetting] on the white paper, Hao Ren felt a little scared.
It seems that I really forgot a lot of things.
For example, what happened after the Skinner emerged from under the bed?
Instinct told Hao Ren that there must be a connection between the skinned corpse in Hao Huai's mouth and the skinned ghost that appeared under his bed last night.
[Bus], [Gan G·1748]
"Why should I leave this message?"
Hao Ren looked at the other circled keywords and fell into deep thought.
He took out the youngest's mobile phone from his pocket, found the browser and entered [ganG·1748], but the search result only had a big "404".
This means that the license plate number [Gan G·1748] does not exist at all, or it has been harmonized for some reason.
However, no matter which outcome, Hao Ren wanted.
"What are you looking at?"
Hao Huai curiously poked his head and took a look, [Gan G·1748].
Hao Huai said to himself: "Isn't this a license plate number? Why does it look so familiar?"
Snapped……
Hao Huai suddenly slapped Hao Ren on the body and said with a grin: "I'm just wondering why it looks so familiar. Isn't this the bus that had a car accident a few days ago?"
"you know?"
Hao Ren turned his head with a grin on his face, looked at Hao Huai in surprise and said, "You know it, please take pictures of yourself next time."
Hao Ren rubbed his slightly red and swollen shoulders, waiting for Hao Huai to explain his doubts.
Hao Huai took out his mobile phone and handed it to Hao Ren after tinkering with it for a long time.
[Bizarre car accident on Xunyang Ring Expressway]
…
"Does the car accident have anything to do with me?"
Hao Ren returned the phone to Hao Huai, a little confused.
A major car accident that killed nine people, could it have anything to do with me?
A big deal!
Hao Ren complained in his heart, folded the white paper and put it back into his pocket and asked, "Do you know who the uncles who sent us back yesterday are?"
"what happened again?"
After putting away his phone, Hao Huai glanced at Hao Ren and said.
"It's nothing. I just saw a strange face that I didn't recognize." Hao Ren said.
"When you say that, it seems like I've never seen it before."
Hao Huai thought for a while, glanced at Hao Ren and said, "Well, why are you asking these questions?"
"Nothing, just asking."
Hao Ren shook his head, stood up and walked out of the room to the cement road outside the yard.
At the entrance of the village less than 500 meters away, several police cars had set up a cordon, seemingly blocking the entire village.
"The village is closed."
Seemingly sensing Hao Ren's doubts, Hao Huai explained: "I heard that the murderer was still in the village. They were afraid that someone would escape, so they sealed the entrance to the village."
Hao Ren looked around and asked, "This is not a community. It is surrounded by fields. What's the use of just blocking off one village entrance?"
"Then how do I know?"
Hao Huai spread his hands and continued: "A lot of people would have come to express condolences today, but now it's better. People from outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out."
Hao Ren looked away and said, "Let's go and see the ancestral hall."
"Uncle Hao specifically told you that you are not allowed to go anywhere today, and you asked me to accompany you."
Hao Huai shook his head and pulled Hao Ren back to the yard.
"It's good now. I was supposed to go up the mountain tomorrow and bury the second uncle and leave. But now it's good. Who knows how long it will take."
"hey-hey……"
"Hehe... You are all going to die. You are all going to die. I am going to die too. No one can run away. No one can run away."
Suddenly a crazy voice came over, and a young man in ragged clothes walked past the door with disheveled hair and a dull expression, still talking nonsense.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming!"
"I can't get out, I can't get out!"
"ah………"
"Die, die...die, die, die, die..."
"It seems to be Mrs. Wang's son-in-law!"
Hao Huai looked at the figure walking through the door in shock: "Why is he like this?"
Before Hao Ren could speak, there was another exclamation outside the door: "Someone, come quickly! Someone is diving at Dongtangjiao!"
