Chapter 28 Classmates Reunion (VII)
Zong Yi looked at the open door and discussed with Lu Ren: "Should we... go in? The paper man is not still inside, right?"
But the truth was that they could not afford to hesitate any longer. There was a rustling sound coming from the rose bushes behind them, and the vines were about to catch up. The two looked at each other, rushed directly into the open door of the villa, and then closed the door at lightning speed, hiding behind the curtains to observe the situation of the human head tree.
The vines rushed out of the rose bushes with great force, and then hesitated at the door for a moment, but they were too timid to move forward. Finally, as if unwilling to give up, they silently retreated back into the rose bushes.
Zong Yi was overjoyed when he saw this: "Finally I got rid of it."
Lu Ren couldn't laugh. He said to Zong Yi with a serious face, "Why doesn't it come in?"
"That must be because it doesn't dare to come in."
But at this point, Zongyi also fell silent. He didn't dare to come in. What was he afraid of? Was he afraid of the glass door? He couldn't be afraid of the fertilizer duo who were just running for their lives.
I'm afraid there are something even more terrifying in this villa.
The two were currently in the lobby of the villa. In fact, only two hours ago, they were still here eating skewers and bragging. Now, not long after the party, there was no more laughter and joy. The whole lobby was shrouded in darkness and was silent, which made people feel an inexplicable fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Zong Yi carefully scanned the area with the help of his phone's light, but he didn't see the paper figures in Xiao Ye's room. So he bravely suggested, "Why don't we go find Qi Fan and the others first? There's strength in numbers. In horror movies, those who act alone all die in the end."
Lu Ren thought this suggestion made sense, and the two of them hit it off. They decided to go to the second floor to find Hu Xilin first, and then go to the third floor to find Qi Fan and the class beauty. As for the housekeeper, they would explore the first floor together after everyone gathered. After all, no one knew whether the paper man in the maid's room was still there.
However, things did not go as planned, and their plan failed as soon as they reached the stairs to the second floor.
I saw five or six paper people guarding the stairs on the second floor, like a row of receptionists, all lacking was a "Welcome".
The paper figures stared with lifeless eyes at Lu Ren and Zong Yi who had just come up the stairs. Although they neither spoke nor moved, their staring gaze made it difficult for people to feel at home.
Zong Yi gave a dry laugh and said, "Are you all busy? Then my brother and I will come back later." After saying that, he put his arm around Lu Ren's shoulder, turned around and was about to run downstairs.
There was still silence behind him.
Did these paper figures let them go?
After walking up two steps, Soichi couldn't help but decided to look back. He was shocked to see that the paper figures that were originally lined up at the stairs had also walked down two steps and were now lined up on the stairs, quietly looking at Soichi.
Zongyi yelled "Oh my god" and took Lu Ren downstairs. When they arrived at the living room, they found that the paper man who was originally in the maid's room also came out and was sitting quietly on the sofa. When he heard them coming down, he turned his head to look at them, like a wronged wife waiting for her husband to come home.
Faced with such a scene, Zongyi could no longer scream. He only felt his scalp tingling and his feet seemed not to be his own. They moved forward mechanically, and he didn't know where to go.
At this moment, he heard Lu Ren shouting, "Go there!" Zong Yi turned around without thinking and followed Lu Ren's instructions. After entering, he found that the place Lu Ren brought him to was the kitchen.
Fortunately, Qi Fan's family did not have an open kitchen, but spent a lot of money to build a closed kitchen. Once the glass door of the kitchen is closed, the paper figures can be delayed for a while. However, the paper figures gathered in front of the glass door can be seen by the people inside, which looks bustling and makes people's scalps numb.
Zong Yi was facing the glass door as if he was facing an enemy, afraid that these paper figures would run in at any time, and at the same time he heard Lu Ren rummaging through the cabinets in the kitchen. Lu Ren found a washbasin and a stack of kitchen paper, and he calmly analyzed the current situation: "If they could obviously follow us, why didn't they chase us when they first met us?"
Zong Yi felt that what Lu Ren said made sense, so he followed Lu Ren's line of thought and analyzed: "Because it was raining at the time?"
"Yes, this at least proves that these paper figures are still afraid of water, just like ordinary paper."
Then Zong Yi watched Lu Ren skillfully turn on the gas stove, light a stack of kitchen paper, push open the glass door of the kitchen, and throw the burning kitchen paper out: "Then they must be afraid of fire."
One of the many paper figures was squeezing in the gap of the door, looking for an opportunity. When he saw Lu Ren opening the door, he struggled to squeeze in, and bumped into the kitchen paper thrown by Lu Ren. The paper figure was instantly engulfed by the fire, and a shrill scream suddenly rang out in the living room.
The paper figure shook its stiff limbs in vain to escape the flames, but in the process of struggling, it even caused the other paper figures to be ignited.
The shrill screams echoed in his ears, but Lu Ren ignored them and used a basin to collect water. After the screams of the paper figures outside the door stopped, he put out the flames with a basin of cold water.
Thanks to the large space of the villa and the scattered arrangement of furniture, no other flammable materials were ignited. Only the wall at the kitchen door was blackened, and the blackened figures on it looked like screaming human faces one after another, which made people feel sick.
Zong Yi looked at the ashes on the ground and the wall, touched his chest a sigh of relief: "Are these scary things dead?"
Lu Ren reached out and smeared some dust on the pattern on the wall. He twisted it and confirmed that it was just ordinary paper dust. Then he nodded and said, "It shouldn't come out again."
"Then what are you still standing there for! Find someone quickly!"
The two of them rushed up to the second floor in two steps, but Hu Xi's neighbor's room was empty. The two of them searched everywhere on the second floor but couldn't find him.
Faced with this situation, many possibilities flashed through Lu Ren and Zong Yi's minds, but they never thought of what they saw on the third floor.
The door to the room on the third floor was wide open, and the scene inside the room could be clearly seen from the stairs.
The housekeeper was holding Zhenzhen's hand, Hu Xilin was holding Zhenzhen's feet, and Qi Fan was holding a knife, ready to insert it into Zhenzhen's heart.
Zong Yi's eyes were red with anger when he saw this. He rushed forward, grabbed Qi Fan by the collar, and asked harshly, "You beast! What the hell are you doing?!"
Being the class beauty is the dream of many young people, including Zong Yi. A young man's dream is like the moon, you don't ask for it, you just hope that every time you look up, you can see the moon still waxing and waning like yesterday.
Zong Yi's movements were so fast that Lu Ren couldn't even react.
Qi Fan's knife fell to the ground after being attacked, and he was pushed against the wall by Zong Yi and pinned down. His neatly combed hair was messed up, and although his gold-rimmed glasses were still there, there were a few bloodstains on his face for some reason. He no longer looked like the elite before, and he looked very embarrassed.
Hu Xilin saw the two fighting, and while shouting, "Zong Yi, don't misunderstand me," he wanted to rush over to help. However, he only heard Qi Fan yell, "Don't let go!" Hu Xilin was completely frightened, and silently maintained the posture of holding Zhenzhen's feet.
Qi Fan, who was pressed against the wall, said to Zong Yi in a hoarse voice: "This person is not Zhen Zhen."
Zong Yi was stunned when he heard that. He quickly turned his head to look at the face of the bound woman. Although her eyes were closed as if she was asleep, that face was undoubtedly Zhenzhen.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Qi Fan was about to explain, but at this moment something strange happened. A man suddenly appeared next to Zhen Zhen, and without hesitation, he raised his knife and cut off Zhen Zhen's head.
It’s Xihe.
The scene suddenly became quiet and no one could react.
All Lu Ren could see was a blinding red. Blood gushed out from the broken neck of Zhen Zhen, splashing on Xi He's body. A bloody streak also appeared on his cheek, and he looked like a demon from hell.
Xi He held up the head he had just severed and said with a sigh, "I caught you."
