The torrential rain outside the window, the wind roaring, the light and shadow inside the house swayed and creaked.
Lin Yu's figure at the desk reading the papers was hit by the dim candlelight on the wall behind him, like a ghost with teeth and claws.
[File 1: The Old Corpse of Xiaohe Village]
"There is a 53-year-old woman in Xiaohe Village. She is greedy for petty gains. She likes to use others to blackmail some petty gains. The villagers don't like to deal with her. One day her temperament changed drastically, she went to apologize everywhere, but no one wanted to. Reconcile with her. The old woman is getting desperate day by day, and on the seventh day she wailes all night, disturbing the whole village."
"On the eighth day, the villagers found that the old woman was dead at home, her face looked like a dead tree, and her whole body was shriveled. After an examination, the old woman's blood was lost and her internal organs were hollowed out, leaving only a skin and a skeleton, like A mummy that has been dead for thousands of years."
Lin Yu closed the file in his hand, closed his eyes and thought.
Light this volume, it is impossible to see what the key points of such incidents are.
Thinking so, Lin Yu opened the second case file.
[File Two: The Thousand Tongue Girl of Kawakami Village]
"There is a 20-year-old peasant woman in Heshang Village. She has a vigorous personality and a lack of virtue. She loves to talk about the length of the person. The villagers are afraid to avoid it. One day they suddenly threatened to kill all the people who evade her on weekdays. People took her words seriously. The peasant woman got more irritable every day, and on the seventh day she knocked on the door with a kitchen knife, scared that no one in the village dared to open the door overnight."
"On the eighth day, the villagers found that the peasant woman died by the dry well, with her tongue sticking out of her mouth and branching into two smaller tongues at the tip of the tongue. The meat blanket is usually on the body, which is extremely horrible and disgusting. After an investigation, the tongue of this peasant woman has branched out more than a thousand small tongues."
Lin Yu closed the file in his hand again, and raised his forehead in thought.
Judging from the two case files, the deceased have three things in common. The first gender is female, the second is hateful people, and the third is the seven days from abnormality to death.
As for death, I can’t find any similarities.
Lin Yu’s forehead oozes some drops of sweat. If you can’t find the key point, I’m afraid...
wiped his sweat, he continued to open the third case file.
[File Three: Giant Heart Man in Huangsha Village]
"There is a 31-year-old river worker in Huangsha Village. He has a bold personality and a righteous man. He is very helpful and has a reputation in the village. However, one day he suddenly asked the villagers he helped to come and thank everyone who came to the door. People must prepare a hundred catties of rice and noodles and ten catties of meat. Although the villagers visited in person as he said, no one could meet their requirements."
"I never imagined that He Gong would not just stop here, but intensify it. The demands were getting higher day by day. On the seventh day, every villager was even asked to donate all his property to him, which made the whole village hate him."
"On the eighth day, the villagers discovered that He Gong was violently killed by the river beach. His upper body was bulging like a ball, and his head and feet and limbs were hanging like granules on the flesh ball. After investigation, this phenomenon was because He Gong’s heart became bigger inexplicably. Protruding the body into a deformity."
Lin Yu's hand holding the file began to tremble.
Judging from the third case file, the two common points found before have been overturned. He Gong is neither a woman nor a person who is hated. Only the third point remains the same.
But just knowing that the date of death is seven days is meaningless, and it can't explain anything.
Lin Yu doesn't think this will be the key point.
But if you can’t find the key point anymore, then...
"No, it's not right." Lin Yu swallowed hard, with a trembling voice, and muttered to himself: "The second point is still the same. They are all people who are hated. Although He Gong is kind at first, but behind After all, it is hated by others."
Thinking of this, Lin Yu seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw, but immediately his breathing became extremely rapid.
"Okay, so cold, why is the back of the chair so cold?"
A pair of hands trembling like sieve chaff moved backwards tremblingly, and after a while, I realized that my clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
Lin Yu didn't dare to look back, for fear of seeing something weird.
He opened the fourth case file tremblingly, trying to calm himself down.
[File Four: Xiamen Village Compound Eyed Girl]
quickly flipped through it, and then opened the fifth file.
[File Five: No Leather Male in Xiaohu Village]
The sixth...
Seventh...
Soon, a total of seven files have been read.
Lin Yu's heart became more chaotic as he watched. He couldn't find a common key point in several cases. All things were the same, that is, all the victims died seven days later.
"Death in seven days? Die in seven days! Today is the seventh day, I..."
tick—
tick—
I don't know what's going on, there is a ticking sound from time to time behind me, like some liquid dripping on the floor.
"House, the roof is leaking, is there a leak?"
"No, how can the roof leak? The roof of my Lin Mansion will never leak!"
Lin Yu did not dare to look back, not only did he dare not to, but he also closed his eyes tightly.
"What is the key to these cases? What are they?"
"I can live if I find the key point, and I can live as long as I find the key point -"
The tick is getting closer and closer to him.
Sudden…
The air behind him became extremely cold, as if entering an ice cellar.
At this moment, Lin Yu figured it out, and he finally knew the key point.
The victims of these files are of different ages and genders, their personal preferences are not at all different, and the way they die is even more bizarre. UU reading
But the similarities are not only the "Seven Days", there is also a very crucial similarity.
"It's too late, it's too late!"
"Hehehe, it's too late, if you can figure it out earlier, why is this?"
"I think my young master of the Lin family will walk the birds in a cage on weekdays, so unhappy, how can I care about these messy things."
"But now, hahaha, it's late, everything is late..."
Lin Yu knows the key to survival.
is not to be nosy.
Seven case files, each victim is a nosy person, so he will be found by evil.
He is a man who has grown up in a honeypot since he was a child. He always knows how to enjoy the blessings, so how could it be possible to pay attention to the life and death of some poor villagers, but in the end...
There was a plop.
Lin Yu slipped weakly from the chair and fell to the ground.
There is no breath, and I can't die again.
Immediately afterwards, an extra eye suddenly appeared on his face, and one more after a breath.
One by one, the face grows on the body if it doesn’t grow apart.
But suddenly, these eyes faded one after another, and returned to the original appearance of the skin.
And his pale face, which had lost its **** color, slowly turned rosy again.
"Master, are you okay?"
There was a crisp questioning sound from the outer room, which was obviously agitated by the movement in the room.
"Master? Master?"
The man yelled twice and pushed the door open with a creak.
"Young Master..."
A beautiful little maid walked in from the door. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Lin Yu lying silent on the ground.
"It's not good, the eldest master has an accident, the eldest master has an accident..."
