Chapter 104 The Day of Doomsday (Part 7)
Through the TV screen, Qiao Yuan could clearly see the middle-aged woman's increasingly anxious expression. She was obviously so angry that she was rummaging under the bed and in the closet, muttering to herself, "Where is it, where is it..."
From this angle, the entire wardrobe cannot be seen. All you can see is that after opening the closet, she leaned her entire upper body inside, as if she wanted to search carefully in the closet. But unexpectedly, at this moment, the closet door suddenly slammed shut.
Logically speaking, the closet door was not locked and could be easily pushed open, but after shaking violently a few times at the beginning, the closet soon became quiet again.
Qiao Yuan noticed that the time displayed in the lower right corner was 9:30 p.m. six months ago. She guessed that it might be something that happened when the doomsday came or soon.
She looked down immediately, but found that the screen had not changed at all. If it weren't for the time in the lower right corner that continued to flow as if it was at double the speed, Qiao Yuan would have thought it was stuck.
It was not until 9:30 the next night that the angry voice of a middle-aged woman came from the closet: "Where is it, where is it..."
Then the closet door opened automatically and the middle-aged woman came out, looking for the camera as usual, but her skin looked unusually pale. After repeating the previous search path, she returned to the closet and the closet door closed again.
At 9:30 in the evening of the third day, the middle-aged woman came out again, but this time there were a few more bruises on her exposed skin.
Qiao Yuan recognized that it was a corpse spot, and it was obvious that the other person was dead. Although she might have become an infected person, she still habitually called the other person a female corpse.
After searching around, the woman returned to the closet.
Day 4…
As time went by, the middle-aged woman would appear from the closet at 9:30 every night, and would return to the closet after searching around. The layout of the room had not changed, but her appearance was changing. Although the airtight closet did not allow her body to rot, her skin had already shown signs of dryness and dehydration.
By the end, the middle-aged woman's skin had turned gray, and her originally slightly fat body had shrunk a lot. Her relatively soft hair had become like dead grass, and her eye sockets and belly had collapsed, sticking to her bones like dry bark, making her limbs look even thinner.
Until she saw herself push open the door on the TV screen, she carefully looked around before walking in, first opened the window, and then turned on the TV.
The moment Qiao Yuan saw his figure appear on the TV screen, he realized that something was wrong and subconsciously walked towards the door, but failed to open it.
However, because this situation had happened before, Qiao Yuan was not too surprised. He just thought to himself that it was no wonder that Zhaocai did not say whether he could go out at night. It turned out that there was no choice at all.
Qiao Yuan's eyes fell on the closet. As if it had noticed her gaze, a middle-aged woman's hoarse voice came from inside: "Where is it, where is it..."
That woman...
Or the body is still in the closet.
After entering the room, her attention was attracted by the windows and the TV. She thought about checking the closet later. Now it seems to be the right choice. After all, who knows what the other person's condition is in the closet.
Qiao Yuan's eyes fell on the clock on the wall, which showed that it was already 9:30.
The female corpse is about to crawl out.
Qiao Yuan's intuition told him that the female corpse was not harmless. After all, the TV screen showed that the other party had not spared even the bugs in the room. When he first entered the room, Qiao Yuan thought that although the layout of the room was simple, it looked clean and hygienic. He didn't expect that there was a female corpse hidden in the closet, and it was cleaned at a fixed time every day.
Although he was very grateful for her contribution to the cleanliness of the room, Qiao Yuan didn't want her to come out at this time.
Fortunately, after watching TV, she already knew what the female corpse was looking for -
Surveillance cameras.
Qiao Yuan had roughly guessed where the surveillance camera was. She stepped on the table and found a pin-shaped camera in the angle between the closet and the wall. As the camera was removed, the TV screen turned into a snowflake shape.
The wardrobe was opened a crack, and a dark, skinny hand was about to come out of the gap. Qiao Yuan quickly threw the camera in through the gap.
Although there was a cry of pain and a curse that seemed to be about to come out, it soon turned into a satisfied voice: "Finally found it."
As the door closed again, the wardrobe stopped shaking and the room returned to its quiet atmosphere.
After checking that there was nothing strange under the bed, Qiao Yuan was finally able to sit on the bed and rest for a while. However, because there was still a female corpse in the closet, she did not fall asleep, but kept watch alone.
Fortunately, she was already familiar with this matter. She just kept an eye on the movements around her while chatting with the system: "I wonder if Shadow is resting now."
What's more, Shadow was obviously much less restricted than her. If he didn't need to rest...
System: [You need to rest, and it certainly needs to rest too. ]
Qiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I was just worried that while I was resting, my competitors were still working hard."
system:【……】
Before this, the system had never thought that there was anything wrong with rolling up, but after thinking about what Qiao Yuan's shadow might do, there was only one thought left in its mind: how could there be such a terrible contrast.
The night passed quickly. Qiao Yuan took a nap as usual after daybreak, and woke up when the sky was bright the next day.
Looking out the window, the shops on the street that had originally pulled down their shutters had now raised them again, and seemed to be open for business, but there was still no one inside.
Qiao Yuan tentatively pushed open the window. There was no heat outside, but a cool breeze in the early morning. If he had not experienced the steaming heat yesterday, he would have thought it was all an illusion.
After making sure the weather outside had returned to normal, Qiao Yuan put on his clothes and went out for breakfast.
Several players had agreed to meet at the restaurant at eight o'clock in the morning before leaving last night. Qiao Yuan arrived at the restaurant a little earlier and happened to run into Yu Guo and Sheng Guiye.
The two of them probably went through something last night, and they looked a little tired. Although they walked together, there was a distance between them. Yu Guo was talking about something, but Sheng Guiye didn't answer, she was still in high spirits.
After seeing Qiao Yuan, Yu Guo showed a relieved expression and greeted her with a smile . Sheng Guiye just glanced at her with the corner of his eyes and then looked away. When he sat down, he chose the seat farthest away from Qiao Yuan as usual, but Qiao Yuan didn't care.
The dining tray on the side was already filled with various breakfasts. After finding that he could eat it, Qiao Yuan no longer thought about who made the food. After all, that would only affect his appetite.
The next person to arrive at the restaurant was Song Yanchi, who walked in anxiously. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Qiao Yuan, called her "Sister", and then came up to her and sat directly next to her.
Joe noticed that his arms had large burns.
From his slightly coquettish words, Qiao Yuan knew what happened to him last night -
He found the body of a middle-aged man under the bed. At first, after discovering that the body would not move, Song Yanchi was not prepared to move it casually, but he did not expect that countless black hairs would suddenly fall from the ceiling and attack him directly. Song Yanchi immediately realized the problem . There could only be one person in this room, and the dead person was also a person, so he directly opened the window and threw the body down. Although he was burned, the hairs disappeared without a trace.
Yu Guo, who was sitting at the table, also heard what Song Yanchi said. Although there were dark circles under her eyes, she looked in good spirits. She stirred the porridge with a spoon and said with a smile, "No wonder Zhaocai repeated those words at that time."
Her eyes fell on Qiao Yuan and Song Yanchi, and she looked gossipy: "But your relationship is too good. Are they really just the celebrity-chasing siblings as the trending searches say? Why do I feel like they are a couple..."
Song Yanchi subconsciously glanced at Qiao Yuan, then turned to look at Yu Guo and said impatiently, "What are you talking about?"
Yu Guo stuck out his tongue and pretended to beg: "Oh, I'm really curious. Anyway, I can't reveal anything about the copy. Just tell me. Please, this question is very important to me..."
Song Yanchi: "...Your real job is not an entertainment reporter, right?"
Qiao Yuan felt a little strange. Although Yu Guo's expression seemed to be joking, the concern for this issue revealed in his words seemed to have gone beyond the scope of gossip. He must get an answer. However, it seemed that the other party was not a fan of her or Song Yanchi.
Another strange person is Sheng Guiye.
When hearing Yu Guo mention the couple, Qiao Yuan noticed that Sheng Guiye looked at him again, but not with his peripheral vision. Even Yu Guo noticed it and teased, "I didn't expect you to be interested in this, too."
Yu Guo was already used to Sheng Guiye not replying, so she just said it casually. Unexpectedly, Sheng Guiye responded this time, but his voice was still cold: "Not interested."
I don’t know if it was because he was surprised or because the atmosphere was too awkward, but Yu Guo, who was usually talkative, couldn’t help but fall into silence.
Fortunately, at this time, Yan Yi also came to the restaurant, breaking the atmosphere. He still had that high-level world-weary face, and the sadness that only Sadness could see, and after greeting the people present, he went to get the food.
"Very good, now only Li Qiang and Le Wenfei are left." Yu Guo's eyes swept across the crowd. "I am relieved that I don't have to see Li Qiang when I eat. Last night, every time I ate fried food, he looked at me with a frown. It reminded me of my fitness coach."
"And Le Wenfei, it seems like he doesn't even know how to walk anymore, hahaha..."
As the time reached twenty minutes, Yu Guo's voice became weaker and weaker: "Why haven't these two come out yet? Could it be..."
