Xiao Xi, who was standing next to him, was also startled by the sudden cry. Her body trembled and her face turned pale.

Chen Mu took a deep breath and realized that something went wrong with Bai Jingjing.

In the quiet night, shouting so loudly that there is no doubt that mom and dad will hear it.

Bai Jingjing must have known it, but the fact that she was still screaming so loudly could only mean that she had encountered something extremely terrifying.

If nothing unexpected happens, it is very likely that someone died.

Chen Mu made a "hush" gesture to Xiaoxi, signaling her not to panic.

After being alarmed, parents are likely to go out to check.

Chen Mu and Xiao Xi were still in the study, and the risk of exposure increased dramatically.

Fortunately, Chen Mu was experienced. He told Xiao Xi not to panic, and he quietly walked to the door and looked into the corridor through the gap.

The corridor was dark, and there was no sound of Mom and Dad's footsteps.

At the same time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps downstairs, rushing upstairs at a rapid speed. Someone was running upstairs madly!

Stay in the study or go back quickly, you must make a decision immediately!

Chen Mu thought for only one second before making a decisive decision - go back to the room immediately!

An unidentified person downstairs is going upstairs, and Mom and Dad may come out at any time. There is also a strange tall man in the study.

Under attack from three sides, the danger of the study room increased dramatically.

Chen Mu pulled Xiao Xi, and the two of them quickly rushed out of the study and headed towards their own door.

The footsteps downstairs are getting closer and closer, and they are already going upstairs!

In the dark stairwell, the footsteps sounded like a devil urging people to die. No one knew if the person going upstairs would be a strange person with blood all over his face!

Fortunately, when I slipped out, the door was only ajar to avoid being heard by my mother.

It worked just at this moment. Chen Mu pushed the door open, pushed Xiao Xi in, rushed in himself, and then tried to close the door with his backhand.

However, something unexpected happened.

Just as the door was about to close, a huge force suddenly pushed against the door from outside.

Only then did Chen Mu realize that the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs had disappeared at some point.

No, it didn’t disappear, but it just stopped.

The bad thing is that the car was parked outside his door.

Chen Mu couldn't help but shudder. He could imagine that on the other side of the door, in the dark corridor, there was a strange person, probably covered in blood, blocking his door with his hand.

Chen Mu put his left hand in his pocket and held the scalpel.

At the same time, he exerted force with his right hand, trying to slam the door shut.

At this time, the man outside spoke.

"Please, Chen Mu! Open the door and let me in!"

When Chen Mu heard Bai Jingjing's voice, he was stunned for a moment and then opened the door inward.

After opening the door, Bai Jingjing appeared outside with a terrified look on her face.

She rushed into Chen Mu's room like a frightened rabbit and hid in the corner, shivering.

Chen Mu glanced outside the door, and after making sure that there was no one outside, he closed the door quietly.

In the room, Chen Mu and Xiao Xi stood together, looking at Bai Jingjing, who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, shivering.

There were bloodstains on Bai Jingjing's clothes.

The bloodstains were in jet-like shape and the splashing force was very strong.

Based on his experience, Chen Mu judged that someone's head had been cut off, and this was the splashing force that only the carotid artery could produce.

As for who the owner of the bloodstain was, Chen Mu already had a guess - Jiang Xiaoge did not come back, and he was most likely beheaded to death.

Bai Jingjing was so frightened that it took her several minutes to come back to her senses from her extreme fear.

Chen Mu unscrewed a bottle of water, handed it to Bai Jingjing, and comforted him:

"Don't be afraid. Tell me slowly what happened."

After Bai Jingjing drank a sip of water, she breathed heavily and tried to calm down.

After a while, Bai Jingjing came to his senses, finally put down the water in his hand, and said to Chen Mu:

"Thank you. I was really scared just now. Xiaoge...is dead."

When he said this, a hint of fear flashed in Bai Jingjing's eyes again.

As Bai Jingjing described, Chen Mu gradually learned the whole story.

After Bai Jingjing and Jiang Xiaoge went downstairs, they went to the basement.

The basement was cold and dark, and there was no light at all!

In order to show off in front of Bai Jingjing, Jiang Xiaoge took the initiative to walk in front throughout the whole process.

I didn't expect there were several steps when entering the basement.

The steps were too slippery and Jiang Xiaoge, who was walking in front, accidentally slipped and fell.

Just like that, Jiang Xiaoge rolled into the door of the basement and disappeared from Bai Jingjing's sight.

Bai Jingjing was startled and hurried downstairs to find Jiang Xiaoge.

Unexpectedly, when Bai Jingjing rushed down the stairs and came to the door of the basement, she saw a scene that she would never forget.

Jiang Xiaoge was standing at the door with his back to her.

Bai Jingjing was about to step forward and pat Jiang Xiaoge on the back when she saw a red blood line on Jiang Xiaoge's neck.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiaoge's head broke with a snap and rolled to the ground.

A large amount of blood gushed out, splashing all over Bai Jingjing's face.

What was even more horrifying was that Jiang Xiaoge's head had originally blocked Bai Jingjing's vision. When his head was cut off, Bai Jingjing saw the scene in the basement through the broken head.

A few meters away from her, there was an old lady with gray hair and a grim smile on her face, laughing at Bai Jingjing.

That smile was terrifying and sinister, revealing a chilling chill.

Bai Jingjing couldn't bear it any longer and screamed in fear.

This was the loud scream that Chen Mu heard when he was in the study.

Frightened Bai Jingjing didn't care about anything else and rushed upstairs at all costs.

Chen Mu was closing the door just then, and she held against it tightly, wanting Chen Mu to save her.

After listening to Bai Jingjing's story, Chen Mu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It seems that what my mother said was right. There are indeed dangerous things in the basement.

If you rashly sneak into the basement, your life will be in danger. Jiang Xiaoge is an example!

Chen Mu looked at Bai Jingjing. According to his observation, Bai Jingjing did not have the ability to kill. There was no sign of training on her body, and she was in the same team as Jiang Xiaoge, so there was no reason for her to kill Jiang Xiaoge.

The credibility of what Bai Jingjing said is over 80%.

Why not 100%? Because Chen Mu could feel that when Bai Jingjing was describing the first half, his eyes were a little vague and evasive, and he even touched his nose subconsciously.

This is a subconscious behavior when people lie.

Bai Jingjing concealed something in the first half, but in the second half, Bai Jingjing's eyes were filled with fear and there was no pause in his speech, which showed that the second half was true.

Chen Mu doesn't care about the content of the first half, he only cares about the content of the second half.

As long as the second half was true, Chen Mu had already obtained the information he cared about, so he had no intention of exposing Bai Jingjing's lie in the first half.
