Chapter 53: Those who come here are not normal people.
Where did the corpse go?
Even if it was eaten, based on Liu Haoyu’s experience with supernatural events.
Eating people would definitely leave bloodstains and scraps of meat everywhere.
It’s absolutely impossible for the situation to be this clean.
On the bed, there were only traces of struggling, besides that, there were only spots of blood.
There wasn’t even a trace of dragging.
The victim seemed to have vanished into thin air in bed.
Liu Haoyu’s expression was very solemn.
He gripped the table leg in his hand, his gaze focused on every corner of the room.
Because of the corpse that had vanished into thin air, every dark corner of the room seemed like it could suddenly spew out something terrifying.
Qiu Leling dared not move, her body tense, she didn’t even dare to look around.
However, she remembered a horror movie she had watched, which had a similar plot, so she quietly said.
“Brother Liu… do you think the deceased has become a ghost and is hiding among us living people?”
“…!”
Hearing this, Liu Haoyu’s mind was instantly opened.
In supernatural events, similar situations had indeed occurred. People killed by ghosts might turn into ghosts and disguise themselves as living people to continue attacking others.
As more people died, more ghosts disguised as people would appear, until everyone became a ghost.
Liu Haoyu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
“Although it’s not certain, I guess it’s probably like that…”
“Tap… tap…”
While the two were talking, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the entrance.
Because of the previous guess, after hearing these footsteps, Liu Haoyu’s gaze instantly became extremely vigilant.
He gripped the table corner, hiding in a corner that wouldn’t be seen immediately after opening the door, so that if he encountered a ghost or a person with ill intentions, he could strike first.
“Creak~”
The door of the room was gently pushed open.
However, what entered was not a ghost, but Xu Wenbing, who had been giving orders outside earlier.
His face did not carry any killing intent, instead, he looked very fearful.
“Don’t move.”
Before he could get a clear look at the situation inside, Liu Haoyu immediately pressed the table leg against his throat.
The table leg was full of sharp wooden splinters from being broken, and if it were to stab in directly, the person would surely die.
“Calm… calm down.”
Xu Wenbing was also startled by Liu Haoyu’s stern face. He quickly raised his hands and saluted the French way.
“I am not a ghost.”
“Why are you here?”
Facing Liu Haoyu’s questioning, Xu Wenbing explained at a very fast pace.
“I’m here to seek cooperation with you.”
“Aren’t you afraid I’m a murderer?”
Xu Wenbing looked at Liu Haoyu’s cold face and calmed down instead. He smiled and said.
“If you were really a murderer, you would have made a move by now, you wouldn’t be talking so much nonsense with me.”
Liu Haoyu could tell that this person could reach the position of chairman not because of connections, but because he really had some ability to observe people’s expressions.
If it were any other person, they wouldn’t dare to come alone to this room where someone had died to find himself.
Seeing that Liu Haoyu hadn’t put down the table leg, Xu Wenbing continued to explain.
“I’ll get straight to the point. Those who have entered this game are all more or less abnormal. Among such a group of people, I actually think you are more reliable.”
“Not normal people?” Liu Haoyu frowned slightly, “What do you mean?”
“Cooperate with me, and I’ll tell you.”
Xu Wenbing’s threat made Liu Haoyu a little unhappy, but at this time, intelligence and clues were the most important things.
“You speak first. If it’s misleading information, won’t I lose out terribly.”
“Fine.”
Xu Wenbing could also see that Liu Haoyu was very different from the headless flies outside. He was likely a ghost exorcist that Liu Haoyu had learned about from books, or at least someone from the criminal police.
“But I’ll only say a part of it…”
Xu Wenbing took a deep breath and said.
“First, everyone who comes to this place must have some kind of case on them, to some extent.”
“For example, that tall guy who is 1.9 meters tall, although he is a security guard, he has five lives on his conscience.”
“You know that thin and small student next to them?”
“He killed all his roommates, and his methods were extremely brutal.”
“As for that woman… she is the biggest madam in Jiangquan City.”
“It’s no exaggeration to say that none of the people who were brought to this place are simple characters.”
Xu Wenbing spoke in an orderly manner.
After listening, Liu Haoyu looked coldly at the man in the suit in front of him and asked.
“What about you?”
“This… I know some other things, but they are not convenient to disclose.”
Xu Wenbing’s implication was that he would only tell Liu Haoyu the remaining information if he cooperated with him.
Looking at this man who kept raising his eyebrows at him, Liu Haoyu slowly exhaled.
“I’ll try my best to save your life.”
“Okay…”
Since Liu Haoyu did not give a definite answer, Xu Wenbing could only sigh helplessly.
As a businessman, what he disliked most was such ambiguous answers.
Especially after being used to being in high positions, that sense of control was not something that could be overcome just by wanting to.
“Can you let me leave now?”
Xu Wenbing slowly lowered his hands.
“There are quite a few people standing outside 207. If I die here, you won’t be able to escape either.”
Hearing this, Liu Haoyu slowly put down the table leg. Xu Wenbing took a step back, nodded slightly, and then left the room.
Watching the man in the suit’s receding back, Liu Haoyu looked at the girl behind him, thought for a long time, and said.
“Let’s leave this room first.”
“Okay.”
Qiu Leling nodded repeatedly, but as she followed Liu Haoyu, she couldn’t help but ask the question in her heart.
“Why don’t we cooperate with him?”
“Human hearts are far more terrifying than ghosts. You might think it’s cooperation, but who knows if you’ll be completely devoured by the other party the next second.”
Liu Haoyu didn’t explain too much.
The two went down to the first-floor hall.
This was where everyone in the entire apartment was gathered.
And because of the spacious venue, the crowd was divided into small groups.
Among them, Xu Wenbing’s group had the largest number, reaching a total of 6 people.
Including others, there were more than twenty people who were brought to this apartment.
This number was somewhat beyond Liu Haoyu’s imagination.
Although there were quite a few women present, Qiu Leling’s mere presence there drew quite a few glances.
Looking at this girl who was less than 1.5 meters tall.
The majority of people present showed disdain and mockery, and even some eager and lustful gazes.
As Xu Wenbing had said, there was indeed no one simple here.
