1817 Old Liang Family Residence, Crazed Lu Wenjing
Sure enough, something happened to Yun Yiyi. Qi Hao was also woken up by screams the next day. He looked around, only to see that his sister-in-law wasn’t in the room. The bed was neat and tidy, as if it had never been slept in; could it be that his sister-in-law hadn’t slept the entire night?
He tossed the thought to the back of his mind as he hurriedly put on his clothes and got up.
He was quick, but Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu were quicker. They knocked on the door, and when Qi Hao opened it, he saw that their faces were pale and unsightly.
Qi Hao was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”
Fang Yu’s face didn’t look good as he said, “Something happened, Brother Qi. Something happened to Yun Yiyi. She’s dead, she’s dead!” At the mention of Yunyi, Fang Yu’s face was filled with fear. He stuttered and continued agitatedly, “And… and Xiao Ying’s body – Brother Qi, you will never guess where Xiao Ying’s body was. She… she was actually under Yun Yiyi’s bed.”
Compared with Yun Yiyi’s death, Fang Yu felt that the fact that Xiao Ying’s body had been hidden under the bed where Yun Yiyi slept was even more terrifying. At the thought that Yun Yiyi had been above Xiao Ying’s body, Fang Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
Fang Yu wasn’t the only one who felt a chill run down his spine; Lu Ningwen panicked just thinking about it. He had seen with his own eyes Celestial Master Chi pull apart Yun Yiyi’s bed to discover Xiao Ying’s body. Xiao Ying’s body was no different from He Liuqing’s back then, and was densely packed with bugs. When Yun Yiyi died, her body became a vessel for eggs and all her internal organs were chewed up. Who knew if this was the punishment for Yun Yiyi breaking the rules last night.
At the thought that it could have been him and not Yun Yiyi, Lu Ningwen shuddered and his blood ran cold.
After coming back to their room, he and Fang Yu had felt the urge to pull open the bed to take a look, but they didn’t have the guts. Still, the two of them didn’t plan to sleep on the bed anymore.
They would rather sleep on the floor than on the bed.
Qi Hao’s heart turned cold when he heard Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen’s words. After all, he had seen He Liuqing’s tragic state last time. Qi Hao had a thought and hurriedly asked, “Where’s my sister-in-law? Where is she? Is she still in Yun Yiyi’s room?”
Seeing that Qi Hao was about to go out, Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu hurriedly stopped him and said, “Brother Qi, Celestial Master Chi said not to let you go out, and told us to stay in the room. She’s not in Yun Yiyi’s room right now. She went somewhere else, but we don’t know where!”
When Qi Hao heard this, he could only stop and invite the two into the room first.
Before the two of them could enter, a woman’s weak voice rang out behind them. “Can… can I go in with you?”
The three looked up and saw that it was Lu Wenjing behind them. They had a good impression of her, so they didn’t think much of it and immediately let her in.
Qi Hao saw that Lu Wenjing’s face was even paler than Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu’s. He also knew that she had probably been scared out of her wits when she saw what happened to Yun Yiyi.
Lu Wenjing didn’t stop shaking as she sat on the couch and gripped the water which Qi Hao handed to her.
Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu, who were more familiar with Lu Wenjing, comforted her together.
Lu Wenjing was fine at first, but when she heard their comforting words, she suddenly collapsed and cried. Her cries were especially despairing and terrified. She tugged at her hair repeatedly and muttered a little psychotically, “Yiyi is dead too. Who will die next? I shouldn’t have come onto this horror variety show. I shouldn’t have come here. Why did I come here? So many things have happened. Why didn’t I believe it back then? Why did I come here?!”
The more Lu Wenjing spoke, the more agitated she became. She suddenly smashed the cup on the floor, splashing water everywhere and shocking the other three.
The three men didn’t expect Lu Wenjing to suddenly lose control of her emotions, and were alarmed. They consoled her softly and said she would be fine.
“Something will happen, something will happen. I might be the next person to die!” Lu Wenjing’s voice suddenly rose and her face twisted as she drowned in her fear. Before the three men could console her again, Lu Wenjing suddenly grabbed Lu Ningwen’s hand tightly and said anxiously, “Brother Lu, Brother Lu, you have to be careful, you have to be careful. Just now, Sister Song and Brother Du kept muttering in private about why you weren’t the one to get into trouble. You have to be careful, you have to be careful. You might be next. Yes, you’ll definitely be next. It’s you, not me, not me, it’s you, it’s you!”
Lu Wenjing’s pupils dilated and she stared fixedly at Lu Ningwen with a crazed expression. Lu Ningwen felt inexplicably cold and panicked under her psychotic gaze. He wanted to pull his hand away, but Lu Ningwen’s grip was tight. Her nails were long and dug into his flesh. It was only when Qi Hao saw that Lu Wenjing’s mental state wasn’t right that he quickly hit her on the back of the neck, causing her to suddenly faint so that Lu Ningwen could pull his hand away.
Qi Hao’s action startled Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu, but Fang Yu got it – Lu Wenjing’s psychotic appearance just now had been a little scary. He and Brother Qi hurriedly carried her onto the couch and let her sleep first.
After dealing with Lu Wenjing, Qi Hao and Fang Yu hurriedly asked Lu Ningwen how his hand was. Was he okay?
Lu Ningwen came back to his senses quickly and stared at the unconscious Lu Wenjing with a complicated expression. “Why don’t I carry her back to her room first?”
Qi Hao waved his hand. “Forget it, forget it. Let her sleep here first and calm down. What happened to Yun Yiyi probably hit her hard.” After a pause, Qi Hao continued, “By the way, be careful of Film Empress Song and that Du man. Better to be safe than sorry. Also, Yun Yiyi’s death had nothing to do with you. It was her bad luck!”
After Qi Hao said that, Fang Yu immediately echoed him and told Lu Ningwen not to blame himself for Yun Yiyi’s death. He had gotten to know Lu Ningwen better in the past few days; the latter was mature and sensitive, so it was easy for him to think too much.
He was afraid that Lu Ningwen would feel guilty about Yun Yiyi’s death. The most important thing now was to get out of this place alive.
Lu Ningwen nodded gratefully. “I understand!”
“Okay, let’s wait for my sister-in-law to come back first!”
