"Brother, it's time."
In room No. 6, Liu Chengfeng checked the time, then took out a match and lit the candle.
A bright light shone, dispelling the darkness in the room almost instantly.
The candlelight flickered faintly in their eyes.
"Hiss...it's quite cold at night."
Liu Chengfeng rubbed his arms with both hands, and goose bumps appeared on them.
"There is no sound outside..."
Ning Qiushui came to the window and looked outside through the small hole that Chai Shan had poked in the window paper.
"That guy Chai Shan must have escaped into the fog."
Their room is on the far right, farthest from Room 1.
Fortunately, in the middle of the night, there was a lot of noise when Chai Shan escaped from their neighbor, and it was indeed dead quiet outside, so even if Chai Shan was shouting outside Room 1, Ning Qiushui could barely hear the noise.
"Tsk, tsk, escaping into the fog in the middle of the night... Life and death are so unpredictable!"
Liu Chengfeng's tone contained a hint of schadenfreude.
He has always hated evil, and he would not feel sorry if a scheming person like Chai Shan ended up in a tragic end.
Ning Qiushui thought for a moment.
"He really may not die tonight."
Liu Chengfeng, who was playing with the copper coins, was slightly startled.
"Can you survive this?"
Ning Qiushui:
"This fan of blood should have a daily death limit. We have to live for 5 days, and there are only eight people. Judging from our number, it is estimated that the maximum number of deaths per day will not be more than two."
"Of course, this is just my guess... If it is true, I think it will be Mei Wen and Lu Nanshang who died tonight."
Liu Chengfeng's thick eyebrows raised.
"I can understand Mei Wen. She drank so much meat porridge, and she acted strangely during the day yesterday, as if she was possessed... But it seems that Lu Nanshang just didn't come to eat. Why did he die?"
Yesterday, Lu Nanshang did not come to eat at noon or evening.
Ning Qiushui said:
"Lu Nanshang ate our first meal."
"Eating meat porridge."
"When he came back at noon yesterday, Shan Hong said he saw hair in Lu Nanshang's mouth. Do you still remember?"
Liu Chengfeng nodded.
Ning Qiushui:
"He was right."
"Lu Nanshang really has hair in his mouth."
Liu Chengfeng stared when he heard this...
"Holy shit, isn't it?"
"Brother, are you sure you read it correctly?"
Ning Qiushui shook his head.
"It's absolutely impossible to mistake it."
"Perhaps, after they ate the 'meat' in the meat porridge, they were no longer 'human'."
"When the young monk was burying the body, Duan Zengtian's body disappeared inexplicably. It was probably stolen by Lu Nanshang..."
"Moreover, judging from the reaction of the young monk Fahua, he should have guessed what would happen after the body was stolen."
"Before us, several groups of tourists came to Dengying Temple. Maybe similar things happened more than once,"
"That's why Fahua told us that once we find the body, we must notify him as soon as possible."
When Liu Chengfeng listened to Ning Qiushui's words, a cold feeling spread across his back.
He originally thought that Mei Wen was the most abnormal one among them, but now it seems that Lu Nanshang is the one.
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but shudder when he thought about what Lu Nanshang did during lunch time yesterday.
"Although Chai Shan also drank the meat porridge, he did not eat the meat particles in it. His whole body was hardly affected, at least it was not visible on the surface."
"This shows one thing, that is, what really affects their sanity is the 'meat' of unknown origin in the meat porridge."
Recalling the dwindling number of monks in the dining hall, the chill on Liu Chengfeng's back became heavier and heavier, even crawling all the way to his Tianling Gai.
The note I saw in the room before, the allusions in unofficial history, and the missing monk...all kinds of clues point to the truth!
"Brother, do you think the meat in the meat porridge is related to the number of monks in the temple?"
Liu Chengfeng asked this question.
However, before Ning Qiushui could answer, there was a knock on the door of their room.
Boom--boom--boom--
Three very consecutive times.
This sudden sound pierced the silence like a sharp knife in the dead night.
"who?"
Ning Qiushui asked next to the window.
"it's me."
The dark figure outside the door answered.
The voice did sound a little familiar.
After going through it in his mind, Ning Qiushui immediately remembered that it was Lu Nanshang's voice.
"Is there a problem?"
Lu Nanshang opened his mouth and said:
"Uh, I have something I want to discuss with you. Can you open the door first?"
Ning Qiushui and Liu Chengfeng looked at each other, and the latter immediately said angrily:
"Sorry, we wanted to open the door for you, but something unexpected happened in the room and we can't open the door."
Lu Nanshang outside the door was a little confused when he heard this.
"Unexpected situation, what unexpected situation?"
Liu Chengfeng cleared his throat.
"We're in the tuba."
After he finished speaking, Lu Nanshang was silent for a while outside the door.
"Then I'll wait for you. After you finish, open the door for me..."
Liu Chengfeng said:
"no problem!"
"After we finish solving it, we'll come over and open the door for you right away!"
After he finished speaking, there was no movement outside the door.
Ning Qiushui motioned to Liu Chengfeng to bring him the red candle. The latter tiptoed to Ning Qiushui holding the candle and handed the candle into his hand.
Then Ning Qiushui gave him a gesture. Liu Chengfeng agreed, returned to the bed, took the chamber pot in the room, put it under his buttocks, and sat directly on it.
Time passed minute by minute. About half an hour passed. Lu Nanshang outside the door seemed to have lost his patience and knocked on the door again.
Boom, boom, boom!
This time, his knocking on the door became much more urgent.
"Are you okay? It's been half an hour, haven't you finished pooping yet?"
Liu Chengfeng said loudly and impatiently:
"Oh, no matter what, I have to push you even if you squat in a pit!"
"I'm constipated. I usually start at six hours when I'm squatting at home. Just wait, and I'll come over and open the door for you after I'm done!"
Six hours.
It was already time for the first bell to ring in the morning and the fog to clear.
When Lu Nanshang outside the door heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"It takes you fucking six hours to poop?"
He changed his usual smiling good-guy demeanor and cursed.
Liu Chengfeng said casually while watching Ning Qiushui squatting under the window:
"Oh, yes."
"It's still short...if I don't get enough breath later, I sometimes sleep on the toilet."
Lu Nanshang outside the door seemed to have heard that Liu Chengfeng was talking nonsense. He started walking in the corridor outside the room and came to the window where Chai Shan had poked a small hole before. He slowly leaned down and turned his eyes to the window. Target the small hole and observe the situation in the room.
He immediately saw Liu Chengfeng sitting on the chamber pot next to the bed.
The latter also saw his eyes.
With the help of the red candlelight under the window, Liu Chengfeng immediately discovered that there was a large area of blood and flesh around Lu Nanshang's eyes!
It felt like the skin on my face was being peeled off!
"Aren't you taking a shit?"
Outside the door, Lu Nanshang's tone was already a bit chilly.
Liu Chengfeng looked directly at him.
"yes."
"Why don't you take off your pants when you poop?"
"I like to zip my pants pockets, it feels like home."
"Then you're such a shitty chamber pot, hurry up and open the door!"
"You don't understand. Sitting on the chamber pot is the best way to exert your energy."
"..."
Lu Nanshang is going crazy.
He pushed forward frantically, pressing his eyes hard against the small hole in the window, as if he wanted to squeeze in through there.
But the next moment, he let out a scream.
Because Ning Qiushui, who was hiding under the small hole in the window, suddenly lifted the red candle up and placed it against its eyeball!
Lu Nanshang's eyes seemed to have been hit hard by the small flame on the red candle, and he suddenly retracted out of the window.
After he screamed a few times, he seemed to adapt, and then started to bang on the door crazily!
boom!
boom!
boom!
