Nightmare Attack

Chapter 14 Missing
"It's not a vacation."

Fatty seemed to have thought of something, his face pale and said: "So you mean that Sister Nuan just now. Is it a ghost?"

"I'm afraid so." Jiang Cheng nodded.

"That's really Nuan, and that girl named Chen Xiaomeng in the room isn't it?"

"Okay," Jiang Cheng interrupted him and said after a few seconds, "Let's go to the living room."

In order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, Jiang Cheng didn't deliberately slow down his steps when he went down the stairs, but when he and Fatty came downstairs, only the firewood was burning vigorously in the fireplace.

Fan Li, who was supposed to be by the fireplace, was gone.

Fatty was a little scared and asked, "Could it be that something happened to him too?"

Jiang Cheng glanced around and said, "Come out, we are humans, not ghosts."

As soon as the words fell, a figure as strong as a bear stood up from behind the sofa. Fan Li stared at them vigilantly, and a sharp knife in his hand reflected a cold light.

"Why did you come down?" He glanced at the stairs quickly and then focused on Jiang Cheng's face, "Where are the other two?"

"They have an accident."

Fan Li stared at them suspiciously. According to the previous inference, women should be safe in this mission. How could such a thing happen.

Fatty quickly told Fan Li what happened just now.

Fan Li's face changed slightly, and then he sighed, "According to what you said, they're probably more fortunate than fortunate."

More than bad luck, Fatty thought to himself, it would be good if they didn't die as ugly as Xie Yu.

Since the ghost has appeared tonight, the three of Jiangcheng are relatively safe, but after the incident just now, even Fatty lost sleepiness.

"Let's rest for a while." Jiang Cheng said, "I won't sleep. I will wake you up in two hours."

Fan Li may have experienced this kind of thing a lot, so he's used to it. In short, he lay down, not on the sofa, but in front of the fireplace.

No one knew if he was really sleeping, and the sharp knife he had collected in the kitchen was put away by him, and it should have been hidden somewhere on his body.

By the warm fire, Fatty's nerves also began to shake. He hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, and only the remaining consciousness was still struggling.

He was sitting on the sofa, the scene in front of him was a little blurry.

When he opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright, Jiang Cheng and Fan Li were gathering together to discuss something in a low voice, Jiang Cheng's face looked the same as usual, but Fan Li was a little excited from time to time.

When the fat man moved, the sofa made a slight pressing sound.

Jiang Cheng turned his head, looked at him and said, "Awake?"

"Yeah." The fat man rubbed his face in embarrassment, "it's dawn, should we go upstairs and have a look?"

"Don't worry, wait until it's all bright."

In this way, they waited for another half an hour. During this time, the three of them simply ate something like small bread, which was barely enough to fill their stomachs.

When it was all daylight, Jiang Cheng stood up and said that it was almost done. The three of them took the things in their hands and started going upstairs along the stairs.

Fan Li was still holding the sharp knife from last night, Jiang Cheng had a rolling pin in his hand, and the fat man saw that there was nothing left in the kitchen, so he carried the cutting board away and used it as a shield against his chest.

The three slowly came to the corridor on the second floor and gradually approached the master bedroom.

At this time, they could already be sure that something happened to Sister Nuan and the others.

The door to the master bedroom was a third open, and there was no sound inside.

Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.

The fat man immediately raised the cutting board.

They were already prepared to see two corpses, and even a ghost rushed over, but when the door opened, there was nothing inside.

No corpses, no ghosts, no blood.

Not even a trace of struggle left.

The quilts in the room were neatly folded, the things on the table and chairs were in order, and there was a silk nightgown on the sofa, as if the hostess had just left.

"Where's the person?" The fat man asked with wide eyes.

Jiang Cheng went to check under the bed, while Fan Li went to the closet with a gloomy face, then the bathroom, and behind the sofa. Finally, they even searched several nearby rooms, including the one where Xie Yu's body was found.

No.

nothing.

Sister Nuan and Chen Xiaomeng seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Jiang Cheng thought for a while, and suddenly said to Fan Li, "Is there such a possibility that the two of them are not dead, and they have successfully left here."

"You mean they have finished their mission?" Fan Li's face was gloomy, but after a while he replied, "The possibility is very small, but this possibility cannot be ruled out."

Fatty interjected, "If you say that, how do you explain the ghost we met last night?"

Jiang Cheng knew what Fatty wanted to say. Since the ghost turned into Sister Nuan and appeared in the master bedroom where Sister Nuan and Chen Xiaomeng were, they should have encountered it.

Before meeting the ghost last night, Jiang Cheng had been on the second floor, and he did not hear anyone walking in the corridor, which meant that Sister Nuan did not leave the room.

The windows in the villa cannot be opened, so there is no possibility of leaving through the windows.

So either Sister Nuan and Sister Nuan had been killed by a ghost, but the body was hidden, or before the ghost appeared, Sister Nuan and Sister Nuan had already finished their mission and left here to return to the real world.

Regarding the way to leave the mission, Fan Li gave his own experience. He said that after finding all the clues, a door will appear.

Through that door, you can return to the real world.

But he also emphasized that the door can appear in any location, but generally speaking, it will not be too remote, and most of it is related to important clues in the mission.

"Like the iron door we pushed open in our dreams?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Fan Li nodded, "Yes, you can imagine it as a channel connecting the dream world and the real world."

Back in the living room on the first floor, Jiang Cheng sat on the thick carpet, Fan Li and Fatty also sat down, opposite Jiang Cheng.

The situation they are now facing is somewhat complicated.

"Okay," Jiang Cheng raised his head and said, "Let's assume Sister Nuan and the others have successfully left here, let's think about how they did it."

The fat man shrank his neck and hesitated: "But why do I think the two of them were killed by ghosts?"

Jiang Cheng looked at him and said indifferently, "This question doesn't make any sense. If you insist that they have been killed by ghosts, then let's just wait to die."

Fatty was frightened by Jiang Cheng's attitude and did not dare to speak for a while.

Fan Li then nodded and said, "You are right, Sister Nuan and the others must have found a way to leave!"

"So...it's our turn." Jiang Cheng patted his trouser legs and stood up.
