On the afternoon of the fifth day, a large fog suddenly rose outside the school.
Seeing this thick fog, everyone knew that it was time for them to go home.
They walked through the school and couldn't see anyone.
The four survivors all knew that they were completely separated from the NPCs in this blood gate world by the fog.
The familiar shabby bus has been waiting outside the school gate for a long time.
After getting in the car, everyone felt a little sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.
Five consecutive days of high-intensity tension were a severe test to their spirit and willpower.
When Ning Qiushui regained consciousness, the bus had already stopped at the license plate at the door of his hut. He didn't know how long he had been waiting.
He got out of the car and looked at the time on his watch. It was already past midnight.
When he pushed the door open and entered, in the hall, the brazier was still shining with a not bright but warm light. Liu Chengfeng was sitting there roasting corn alone.
"Come back, little brother!"
After seeing Ning Qiushui returning safely, Liu Chengfeng was very happy and handed him a roasted waxy corn with a smile.
Although there are some burnt marks on the surface, it is indeed very fragrant.
"Why are you alone?"
Ning Qiushui asked vaguely.
Liu Chengfeng replied carelessly:
"This weekend, Tian Xun's little sister came back from school, and he went back to accompany his sister."
"I originally fell asleep in the afternoon...but something happened in Xiaoguan at night. The brothers and sisters couldn't make up their minds and asked me to go back to deal with it, so I didn't eat dinner. When I came back, I was hungry and I could only bake a few corns. eat."
Ning Qiushui took a few bites of corn and praised:
"The corn is roasted well."
This roasted corn is really fragrant. When you bite into it, the crispy skin has a crispy burnt flavor, and the inside is soft and sticky. After chewing, you will have a sweet aftertaste in your mouth.
"When I was a kid, I was very poor and couldn't afford rice. Eight out of ten meals we had could only eat sweet potatoes. I followed my master in baking growing up, and of course I have mastered the skills..."
Liu Chengfeng chuckled.
This smile was indescribably honest, and Ning Qiushui could feel Liu Chengfeng's nostalgia for that time.
"By the way, little brother, how is the little girl you protected this time?"
Facing Liu Chengfeng's inquiry, Ning Qiushui's tone was calm.
"died."
When Liu Chengfeng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then sighed. He reached out and patted Ning Qiushui on the shoulder, and said with some empathy:
"I know, it's not your fault. A person's ability is limited after all. You can't save everyone, so don't put too much pressure on yourself..."
Ning Qiushui looked at Liu Chengfeng's sympathetic look and replied coldly:
"I killed him."
Liu Chengfeng, who still wanted to continue to comfort Ning Qiushui, suddenly became stiff.
The corners of his mouth twitched and he said after a long time:
"No, little brother, you..."
Ning Qiushui had nothing to do and told him about what happened behind the Blood Gate. After listening, Liu Chengfeng was silent for a while before sighing.
"In this world, people's hearts are unpredictable!"
"I'm done eating. I'm going to rest first."
Ning Qiushui said goodbye to Liu Chengfeng, went to his room, turned on his phone and looked at "Mole", which sent him a bunch of messages.
The general meaning is that the organization behind the person he helped Bai Xiaoxiao kill last time was related to the "halfway up the mountain" who sent the killer to kill him before!
Ning Qiushui was a little surprised.
If this is the case, then "Mid Mountainside" may know something about the death of their senior "Uncle Mang"!
Apparently some of these people have entered the world of mist.
It’s just that we don’t know yet, what was the motive behind these people killing “Uncle Mang”?
According to Bai Xiaoxiao's previous description, everyone's ghost weapon is absolutely personal, regardless of whether the person is alive or dead.
Therefore, in the world behind the Blood Gate, there is no possibility of killing and selling goods.
Since it's not for profit, why take such a big risk to kill an old man who lives in a deserted house?
Ning Qiushui felt very curious about the motive behind the crime of "Halfway Up the Mountain".
From the mouths of other people in Guishe, we learned that this senior named "Uncle Mang" has some abilities. It is not an easy task to kill him. In addition to a careful plan, some skills are also needed. Great people to complete this project.
If there is no benefit, they cannot risk taking the initiative to enter the world behind the Blood Gate to assassinate a target that is likely to fail.
There are various signs that "Uncle Mang"'s death involves some unknown secret!
As for this secret, Bai Xiaoxiao and Tian Xun did not tell Ning Qiushui. Ning Qiushui even felt that maybe even Bai Xiaoxiao and the others did not know...
At this time, he thought of the three mysterious letters without signatures.
Ning Qiushui suddenly wondered, could there be some kind of connection between these two things?
He lay on the bed and stared at the messages Mole sent him. He was silent for a long time before replying:
[Help me check this organization. I want to talk to their leader. 】
After sending this message, he fell asleep.
On the second day, Ning Qiushui had lunch, said goodbye to Liu Chengfeng, and took the bus back to his residence.
After entering the room, he immediately took out the cell phone of the target that Bai Xiaoxiao had asked him to assassinate, and put it in a plastic paper bag. After waiting for about ten minutes, a short, fat young man with a crew cut knocked on Ning Qiushui's door.
The two of them didn't speak. Ning Qiushui handed him the phone directly, and then he turned around and left in a hurry.
After closing the door again, Ning Qiushui opened "Jujiu"'s computer. To his surprise, "Hongdou" actually replied in the chat box!
…
【Not interested, won’t meet】
[Do you have any idea about the letter? 】
…
Looking at the content on the chat box, Ning Qiushui's heart started beating!
His fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, and it didn't take long for him to reply:
[Nothing was found, and the same goes for the other person. Maybe it would be helpful if you could provide me with some clues on the letter. 】
"Hongdou" was silent for a long time this time. Just when Ning Qiushui thought he wouldn't answer, the other party sent a picture.
That picture is a bit strange.
The surroundings were pitch black.
There is a path in the middle. This path is narrow and straight, almost only a foot wide, with dark, bottomless abyss on both sides.
At the end of the path is a bloody door.
Unlike the bloody door on the third floor of the Guild House, the bloody door at the end of this path was completely painted red with blood.
A man stood in front of the bloody door, with his back to the audience outside the screen. His left hand seemed to be covering his chest, while his right hand, which was also bright red, wanted to knock on the bloody door...
But because the Blood Gate in the painting is too far apart, the person at the door is also painted very small and blurry.
[This is the sticker on the letter, please contact me if you find it]
"Hongdou" sent such a message and went offline.
