Chapter 38 The Room at the End
Xiao Li Zi ran all the way and finally caught up with Old Guo.
After confirming he was following, he looked back again, and the creepy feeling in his heart did not subside.
Old Guo threw the black bag into the bushes. Wolves that appeared at night would deal with these things.
“Old Guo, you’re not joking with me, are you?”
“Now you’re scared?”
Seeing the startled Xiao Li Zi, Old Guo couldn’t help but laugh.
“Don’t you know that the more you understand some things, the more terrifying they become?”
“Old Guo, inside…” Xiao Li Zi secretly swallowed his saliva and then said in a low voice, “After you said that, I don’t dare to deliver meals anymore.”
“Hahaha!”
Old Guo finally burst into laughter.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of, you don’t have to go into the room anyway.”
“…”
“By the way, don’t forget to deliver the lunch later.”
Xiao Li Zi wanted to say something more, but his gaze fell on a maid not far away.
It was almost noon, and it was time to deliver lunch…
He gritted his teeth, then walked up to the maid and said.
“Zhou Xixi, are you free?”
“Xiao Li Zi?”
The maid named Zhou Xixi looked at Xiao Li Zi approaching her and said in confusion.
“What do you need me for?”
“This… it’s like this…”
Xiao Li Zi’s expression was a bit awkward, and his voice carried a hint of pleading.
“I have something to do at noon, could you help me deliver the lunch to that room on the third floor?”
Zhou Xixi, who had been smiling, suddenly changed her expression upon hearing this.
Then she placed her hands in front of her and said respectfully.
“I’m sorry! I have something else to do. Go find someone else.”
“Wait…”
Zhou Xixi ignored Xiao Li Zi’s attempt to stop her and fled towards the courtyard gate in a panic.
The other servants around also heard Xiao Li Zi’s words. Their faces turned pale, and before he could ask further, they left the place directly.
In the empty corridor, Xiao Li Zi was left alone.
The unease in his heart was slowly turning into fear.
Can I not deliver this meal?
What if I run quickly?
A thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Li Zi’s mind, but when he saw the closed gate of the courtyard, he gave up the idea.
More importantly, this place was very far from Jiangliu City, and escaping was almost unrealistic.
If caught, perhaps he would end up like the maid before… torn to pieces.
Xiao Li Zi swallowed hard.
“Forget it, I don’t care anymore.”
He gritted his teeth secretly, and resolutely walked towards the kitchen.
After all, it wasn’t the first time he had delivered food. He had delivered it for so many days before without any problems, so how could something happen this time?
Not to mention that it was the middle of the day, even if there were any monsters or ghosts inside, they wouldn’t dare to kill someone in broad daylight, right?
After gathering his courage again, Xiao Li Zi walked into the kitchen, picked up the rich meal, and then began to walk upstairs along the stairs.
This time, delivering the meal was even more cautious than the first time.
He was afraid that if he dropped the food, the monster in the room would take him as an example.
“Third floor… here we are.”
Xiao Li Zi looked at the quiet corridor in front of him and was completely stunned, not daring to move forward for a moment.
When he came here for the first time, he didn’t feel anything, but after knowing a little now, he realized.
It was especially cold on the third floor…
Even the sun in the middle of the day seemed unable to dispel this cold.
Although the sunlight shone brightly through the windows, illuminating the corridor, it didn’t seem like a place where a living person should live.
Instead, it was more like a place with gusts of cold wind, like a cemetery.
And when the bloody scene downstairs reappeared in his mind, this feeling in Xiao Li Zi became even stronger.
A strange chill made him take two steps back.
This place… is really a bit creepy…
No wonder none of the servants downstairs dared to come up, it’s because of this.
“Gulp…”
Xiao Li Zi’s gaze fixed on the room at the end of the corridor. He swallowed hard and then forced himself to walk towards that room.
This corridor was not long, but now every step was extremely difficult for Xiao Li Zi.
He didn’t dare to take his eyes off the door of that room, for fear that if he looked away, a terrifying fierce ghost would appear inside.
One step…
Two steps…
After an extremely long three minutes, Xiao Li Zi finally reached the door of the room.
At this moment, his heart was in his throat. He carefully pushed the meal tray in, then immediately pulled his hand back, afraid that he would be dragged into the room if he was a second late.
Fortunately, as usual, nothing happened.
Xiao Li Zi tiptoed back a few steps, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly froze in place.
His gaze also gradually turned to horror.
Where did the lock on the door go?!
Could it be that the monster inside had come out?
Realizing this possibility, he turned around without a second word, trying to escape from this place.
However, when he turned around, he found that at some point, a man had appeared behind him.
The man held a blood-stained fire axe, wore an old gas mask, and a pitch-black trench coat.
Although he didn’t know who the other party was, with such an outfit, Xiao Li Zi knew very well that the other party was definitely not here to have a heart-to-heart talk!
“Save… save…”
“Thump!”
Before he could cry for help, the man swung his axe and knocked the delivery servant unconscious.
Then, the man wearing the gas mask grabbed the servant’s leg, dragged him into an inconspicuous corner, and stuffed a talisman into his mouth.
The talisman would erase his memory, so even if he woke up, he wouldn’t remember what happened here.
Hearing the commotion outside, Xiao Qin Liu’s head poked out from the bedroom.
When she saw Liu Haoyu’s extremely proficient way of hiding bodies, the little guy couldn’t help but complain.
“I say… do you really have a side job? Like a robber or something?”
To Xiao Qin Liu’s words, Liu Haoyu patted the dust off his hands and said.
“You can eat anything, but you can’t say anything. I am a five-star good citizen of Jiangliu City, how could I engage in illegal activities like killing and robbing?”
“Look at your attire, do you think your words are convincing?”
“There’s nothing I can do about it, who would have thought that as soon as I got the lock open, I would run into this servant? He’s just unlucky.”
Liu Haoyu was also a little helpless.
He wanted to take Qin Liu to the pharmacy to study the semi-finished black coffin, but who would have thought he was so unlucky? As soon as he opened the lock, he ran into the servant who came to deliver the meal.
“Let’s go. Now that the servants are all eating on the first floor, let’s quickly go to the pharmacy on the second floor to see if the formation on the black coffin matches the formation you saw in your dream.”
