…
After the mistress of the villa left, everyone returned to the hall. After briefly introducing themselves, they began to discuss matters about taking care of the elderly.
Among them, Yan Youping, a short and thin girl with twin ponytails, weakly raised her little hand.
"Well...by the way, how did you all get into the bus?"
"I, I was originally on the high-speed train. I got sleepy while playing on my phone, so... I fell asleep for a while, and when I woke up, I was on the bus."
"Me too. I was working overtime at the company, but suddenly I felt very sleepy..."
Everyone spoke one after another, and they discovered that everyone came to the bus in exactly the same way.
This kind of weirdness made their already frightened hearts become even more frightened!
"Damn... I'm really possessed..."
The bearded Liu Chengfeng cursed.
Yan Youping was silent for a while and then said weakly:
"You think, could it be that... this is a program group inviting us to a reality show in this way?"
"After all, I used to watch TV..."
Before she could finish her words, Liu Chengfeng interrupted her with a sneer:
"Have you forgotten that fat man so quickly?"
"TV programs will kill and skin people?"
Yan Youping's heart trembled suddenly, but he glared:
"What if... what if it's just a prop?"
"Blood is also a prop?"
"Who knows, what if it's a bloody battle..."
Yan Youping still wanted to deceive herself and others, but Ning Qiushui's abrupt words next to her broke down the last line of defense in her heart:
"It's not animal blood."
Everyone looked at Ning Qiushui.
He seemed to have accepted it all and seemed extremely calm.
"I used to be a veterinarian, and I am particularly sensitive to smells. There is a clear difference between the smell of the blood of cats, dogs, pigs, sheep, cows, chickens, ducks, fish, geese, and pigeons, and the smell of human blood."
"For example, sheep blood is very smelly, while human blood has a distinct smell of rust..."
"I can tell you very clearly that the blood on that traffic light was 100% human blood."
"And it's...the freshest human blood!"
After Ning Qiushui finished speaking, Yan Youping shivered with fright, hugged his knees and began to sob softly:
"do not talk……"
"Please... stop talking..."
Seeing her like this, Ning Qiushui's tone softened a little.
No wonder the girl was frightened.
If normal people in real life saw the previous scene, they would probably have a lingering psychological shadow for a long time.
Only people who often deal with corpses can feel better.
After all... that scene was too bloody!
"Let's think about how to spend these five days first..."
An ordinary-looking man, about 170cm tall, with gloomy eyes said.
His name is Xue Guize.
"There are seven of us in total. Our task this time is to take care of the old man in bed for five days. How are you going to allocate it?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Ning Qiushui saw that no one was speaking, so she said:
"Let's do this. The three girls will be responsible for cooking and washing clothes, and the four of us guys will be responsible for taking care of the old man..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the beautiful Queen Yu Ning with gold earrings said in a strange tone:
"Hey, women should wash and cook for you stinky men?"
"You guys are lazy. When the hostess said that the old thing was lying on the bed and couldn't move, you took the initiative to take care of her... Do you think we are stupid or something?"
"You say you're taking care of that old guy, but I'm afraid you don't have to do anything and just laze there, right?"
When Liu Chengfeng heard Wang Yuning's words, he couldn't help it. He raised his chin and said leisurely:
"It stinks... What a beautiful girl, why does her mouth smell like shit?"
Wang Yuning's face also darkened:
"Who are you scolding?"
Liu Chengfeng wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Ning Qiushui.
"If you don't want to wash clothes and cook, I can change with you. You can take care of the elderly from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. It will probably get dark after 10 p.m., so we will just wash up and rest."
Wang Yuning glanced at Ning Qiushui and snorted coldly.
"Then...thank you."
Although she said this, her tone was completely devoid of gratitude.
Just full of mockery.
"By the way...it's past five o'clock now. I'm hungry. Don't you want to cook? Go ahead."
Ning Qiushui took a deep look at Wang Yuning, said nothing, turned to the two girls and said:
"Do you want to change?"
Yamo, the girl who had been silent, raised her hand.
"I……"
"Sorry, I really can't cook."
Compared to Wang Yuning's annoying appearance, Ya Mo is much more sincere.
In this society, there are too many pampered children, and there are many men and women who cannot cook. This is not surprising.
"Is there any man who can cook?"
The remaining three men were silent for a while, and Liu Chengfeng said impatiently:
"Hey, forget it, I'll go cook and wash clothes with you!"
"What a bunch of losers, they can't even cook and wash clothes!"
Wang Yuning said coldly:
"Rough guy, keep your mouth clean!"
Liu Chengfeng glared, pointed at Wang Yuning and said:
"If I hadn't beaten women, you would have died today!"
Wang Yuning sneered and went upstairs on her high heels.
The kitchen was on the first floor, and the old man was on the second floor. The villa was very big, so everyone was busy and separated.
Liu Chengfeng cursed and followed Ning Qiushui to the kitchen.
Accompanying him was the little girl Yan Youping who kept sobbing.
"Okay, stop swearing."
Entering the kitchen, Ning Qiushui was really annoyed by the noise, so he interrupted Liu Chengfeng.
"No...can you bear this anger?"
Liu Chengfeng stared.
Ning Qiushui opened the refrigerator and started to take out the ingredients.
"Do you really think taking care of that old man... is a good job?"
Hearing this, Liu Chengfeng's breath suddenly stopped.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Ning Qiushui slowly turned her head and looked at Liu Chengfeng and Yan Youping next to her.
"Do you still remember what the man in the suit in the Black Villa told us?"
"They will answer our questions only after we come back from the Blood Gate alive."
"This means that the world behind the Blood Gate...has unimaginable dangers!"
After he finished speaking, Yan Youping's thin body trembled again!
She trembled:
"What...what danger?"
Ning Qiushui shook her head.
"It's not clear yet... but since the mission of the Blood Gate is to take care of the old man, the danger is probably related to the old man."
"Anyway...be careful."
After hearing Ning Qiushui's instructions, Liu Chengfeng rolled his eyes, secretly pinched his fingers, and the previous gloomy look on his face disappeared, and he chuckled:
"Brother, I think what you said makes sense, so I'll hang out with you."
Ning Qiushui glanced at Liu Chengfeng in surprise, shook his head, but said nothing more.
He first took out the vegetables from the refrigerator and then looked at the freezer.
As the hostess of the villa said, there was a lot of meat there.
The hostess cut them into pieces and stuffed them into different bags.
Ning Qiushui took out a bag labeled [Beef Tenderloin], threw it into the pot, and thawed it over low heat.
When closing the refrigerator, Ning Qiushui suddenly noticed something with his peripheral vision. He took out a piece of frozen meat from the depths of the refrigerator.
There were many black unknown substances in the meat bag.
It was just that the crushed ice covered it up too much, and the bags containing the meat were all vacuum-packed, so it was impossible to see what the black substance was.
There is no meat label on this bag. It seems that the hostess forgot it.
Ning Qiushui stared at the meat for a while, but unexpectedly, Liu Chengfeng, a rough man with a beard, came closer again.
"Why is this meat black?"
he asked curiously.
Ning Qiushui shook her head and stuffed the meat back into the refrigerator.
"I don't know, maybe it's broken because it was frozen for too long."
The three of them were busy in the kitchen. To Ning Qiushui's expectation, Liu Chengfeng, a rough guy who looked like an old gangster, was actually good at cooking!
The way he washes, chops, and stir-fries vegetables shows that he is an expert at it.
"time to eat!"
Liu Chengfeng brought the fried meat and vegetables to the table and yelled upstairs.
Then, regardless of whether the people upstairs came or not, he directly picked up the hot rice and started eating it.
Yan Youping looked at Liu Chengfeng's reborn appearance as a hungry ghost and couldn't help but ask:
"Don't wait for them?"
Liu Chengfeng said angrily:
"What are you waiting for?"
"eat!"
After saying that, he started to devour it again.
Da da da--
Four footsteps were heard upstairs. Wang Yuning was still on the stairs when she saw Liu Chengfeng engrossed in eating and couldn't help but mocked:
"Look at the way you eat, you look like a starving ghost reincarnated..."
If it had been before, Liu Chengfeng would have definitely fought back fiercely.
But he seemed to be particularly attentive while eating, and completely ignored Wang Yuning's ridicule.
Wang Yuning just thought that he had given up and started eating on her own.
At the dinner, everyone was silent.
do not know what to say.
But they felt that their eyes were getting darker and darker, and when they got to the back, they couldn't even see the beef in the bowl clearly.
It wasn't until Ning Qiushui stood up and turned on the light that they finally realized...it was dark.
"Depend on!"
"Why does it get dark so quickly?"
"It's barely 7 o'clock!"
The man named Bei Dao screamed strangely, and his startled look made everyone feel uncomfortable.
"what's your name?"
Xue Guize, who had an ugly face to begin with, frowned.
"Didn't you hear the owner of the villa say before he left that the rainy season is coming soon?"
"How normal it is to be dark...no fuss."
He scolded Bei Dao, his tone was a little too excited, but everyone knew why and tacitly did not speak.
The atmosphere in the villa... was really depressing.
"Hey, hey, is this how you take care of the elderly?"
"Is it appropriate to let a paralyzed old man starve upstairs when he is full?"
"No one really thinks that taking care of the elderly means doing nothing, right?"
Liu Chengfeng, who was full, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and while picking his teeth, he said strangely to Wang Yuning, who was sitting opposite.
The latter clenched his fists and his eyes became colder.
"Hmph, do you think everyone is a loser like you?"
"A man as disgusting as a maggot."
She kicked her high heels in disgust, went to get a bowl of rice, randomly picked up some leftover dishes, and went upstairs.
Everyone watched her figure disappear into the dark corridor. For some reason, their hearts beat faster...
"Were you all on the second floor just now?"
Ning Qiushui also put down his bowls and chopsticks at this time and asked the three people responsible for taking care of the paralyzed old man.
Xue Guize said 'hmm'.
"The second floor was all over the place, except for the paralyzed old man, there was no one else."
"Our rooms are opposite the old man's room and belong to the same corridor."
Ning Qiushui asked:
"Did you find anything unusual?"
Xue Guize shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and replied:
"There is a... very strange smell in our room. I can't tell what it is, but it doesn't smell good."
"All seven rooms?"
"Yes, both."
At this time, the girl next to her named Yamo added softly:
"There is another strange thing..."
"The rooms the hostess prepared for us all have private bathrooms."
Bei Dao sneered:
"Isn't this strange? If you are rich, you don't want to go to the toilet and run around..."
Ning Qiushui frowned.
"No...it's indeed strange."
"This villa is obviously only occupied by the hostess and her family. Even if the male host is at home, there are only four people. Why are so many bedrooms and toilets prepared?"
"This...what's so strange about this? Maybe they are very hospitable?"
"I often invite friends to my home for parties. Don't rich people like to have this party?"
Bei Dao's tone was slightly flustered.
No one answered his words.
Everyone fell into an eerie silence again.
until……
A piercing scream from the second floor pierced the terrifying silence——
"ah!!!"
