This NPC really has a problem

Boss Lu and Bai Zhu looked at each other, and ran out the door at the same time.

The door of the hotel was pulled open with a creak, and the moment it opened a crack, the bitter cold wind from the wilderness rushed in, and the door was pushed open heavily.Behind him was the muffled sound of the door panel slamming against the wall, and the wind blowing in front of him carried the smell of blood.

A distorted corpse lay quietly on the ground, and a pool of blood gradually spread under her body.

The light came from the glass window, the window surface was not wiped clean, and the light from the outside seemed to be covered with a layer of stains.Boss Lu stopped a meter away from the corpse, and looked at the calico skirt spread on the floor without saying a word.

The skirt was gradually soaked in blood.

A slight gasp sounded from beside him.

Boss Lu turned his head to look, and saw Bai Zhu looking at the woman's head, and said in a low voice, "It was the head that fell to the ground first."

The head of the corpse had the most blood, and it was probably cracked somewhere. What was even more strange was that the woman's face was bloody and bloody, and it was her already terrified expression that appeared even more ferocious.

Boss Lu approached, squatted down to observe carefully, and found that the woman's eyeball was missing.He stood up and looked up, and said, "The face was scratched by a branch."

Several trees had been planted outside the hotel, and the overhanging branches did not act as a cushion, but instead scratched the woman's face when she fell.

The tree slightly has a strange circular protrusion, Boss Lu suspects that the woman's eyeballs are hanging on it.

"Ah!" A piercing scream suddenly sounded from behind.

A series of messy footsteps sounded, and after the woman fell, several people who heard the movement ran out.Boss Lu vaguely remembered that the screaming girl was a woman's companion, with an ordinary and handsome appearance, and had a good conversation with the deceased during dinner.

The girl's eyes were wide open as if the corners of her eyes were about to burst, she couldn't hide the panic on her face, she covered her mouth, not daring to say anything: "Dream, half-dream, how could this happen?"

The few young men and women who ran out of the hotel were all companions of the deceased, and they also had unbelievable expressions on their faces.

There was the sound of windows opening overhead, Bai Yiyi looked up and saw four heads popping out of different windows, they were Xiaozhen the waiter, Danyou the traveler, and Chen Jin and Xu Yan who were huddled together to look out.

Boss Lu asked calmly, "Does any of you know what's going on?"

……

The woman who fell down the building was Xiao Mengban, a student of the Sculpture Department of the Beijing Academy of Arts.

"I heard the sound of something hitting the ground, so I opened the window and looked out. I didn't expect Meng Ban to fall down the stairs." The panic in the eyes of the weak girl with glasses has not faded, and she unconsciously clutched her skirt, " After I found out, I ran downstairs, how, how could this happen?"

Boss Lu remembered that when he looked up at the branches, the window of a room upstairs was opened, but he couldn't remember if it was the girl's room.

"Do any of you live in a room with her?" Boss Lu asked, "I remember you all share a room with two of you."

"I'm the one who lives in the room with Meng Ban." A young man smiled wryly. Boss Lu vaguely remembered that the name he registered in the registration book was Guan Yi, and the names of other people were registered by their representatives. Only this The young man's name is more complicated and he wrote it himself.

"But Meng Ban and I quarreled, and she said that she doesn't want to see me now, so I wasn't in the room at that time." Guan Yi said, "It would be fine if I insisted on staying in the room. If I were at that time, say Maybe something like this wouldn't happen..."

A heroic-looking woman interrupted him in a flat tone: "If you want to insist on staying there, you won't be able to. You will definitely be beaten out by Xiao Mengban."

What she said seemed very disharmonious under the current circumstances, but apart from Boss Lu and Bai Zhu who were somewhat puzzled, no one else raised any objections.

Only the weak girl whispered: "Meng Ban is now... Lu Qian, don't say such things."

The heroic woman named Lu Qian snorted coldly.

Guan Yi's face was a little embarrassed: "...Meng Ban has a bit of a young lady's temper, but she is not bad."

"You..." Boss Lu looked at the two young men who hadn't spoken before.

One of the youths quickly said: "Yu Xiao and I have been playing cards in the room, we don't know what happened."

The young man named Yu Xiao was obviously dragged down. Steward Lu could smell the strong smell of alcohol even if he was not close to him, and he didn't know how much Yu Xiao drank.

At this time, Yu Xiao looked drunk, squinting his eyes, lying on the window and looking out, and said vaguely: "Xu Liao, where are our painting utensils? Hurry up and bring them here... What a good material!"

Hearing this, the faces of the others were not very good-looking, especially Guan Yi, the boyfriend of the deceased, whose face was turning blue.

Xu Liao hurriedly covered his mouth: "Say a few words less."

No one knows how the deceased fell down the stairs.

Boss Lu frowned slightly. At this moment, Lu Qian glanced at the dead body outside the house expressionlessly, and said, "I guess she accidentally fell down by herself. Didn't Xiao Mengban quarrel with Guan Yi? She was playing with her temper." She insists on making others unhappy, and she may not be happy herself when others are unhappy. When Xiao Mengban is in a bad mood, she likes to sit on a high place and look out. Maybe she won't sit still all of a sudden, and she will fall headlong. go down."

Boss Lu thought thoughtfully, "You know her well?"

Lu Qian's words showed that she didn't like Xiao Mengban, but she chose to speak words that were familiar with the deceased.

"You doubt me?" Lu Qian glanced at Boss Lu.

Boss Lu shook his head: "Just ask, someone died in the store. As the boss, I always want to find out."

Lu Qian snorted: "Of course I know her. After all, I've known her since elementary school, and we've been best friends for several years."

It's obvious that the pair of former girlfriends have turned against each other now.

"Since no one was with the deceased at the time, let's assume that she fell from the building by accident." Boss Lu selectively ignored Lu Qian's whisper of "it was" and asked, "Do you have any questions?" ?"

The weak girl plucked up her courage and asked: "That...boss, can we move Meng Ban's body into the store? Is it not good to leave her body outside like this..."

"No," Boss Lu refused without hesitation, "The corpse outside cannot be moved, and I will temporarily seal the room where the deceased fell from the building."

He looked at Guan Yi: "I only gave you one key at that time. If you have the key, please leave it to me now."

Guan Yi was stunned when he heard the words, the key was indeed with him, Xiao Mengban had always been careless, and he took care of keys and other small things that were easy for her to lose.Although Xiao Mengban was very angry when he drove him out of the room, he didn't take back the key.

He took out the key but didn't hand it over, but asked hesitantly, "May I ask why? After all, I have to stay tonight..."

"Please squeeze with others for a while," Boss Lu apologized but could not refuse. "The police will not arrive until tomorrow morning from the nearest town. Before the police arrive, please don't destroy the scene."

"After all, no one can be sure that the deceased died accidentally." Boss Lu's tone was rare and firm, with a hint of majesty. The people present did not raise a single objection, not even Lu Qian, who had a bad relationship with the deceased.

Guan Yi quickly handed the key to Boss Lu.

Bai Zhu, who hadn't said a word since the other NPCs came over, watched this scene in shock.

He felt that he was suddenly illuminated by the brilliance of the rule of law, this...is this really a horror game?

Before he came back to his senses, he was taken aback by Boss Lu's sudden approach.Boss Lu wondered why the boy was like a frightened rabbit, he hesitated for a while, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back and rest first, I have to go and lock the room where the accident happened."

Bai Yiyi, who hadn't reacted, forgot his policy of staying close at every step, and subconsciously agreed.When he wanted to follow up, Boss Lu disappeared without a trace.

The NPCs left one after another, Xu Liao dragged Yu Xiao to the end, he finally pulled the drunk man off the window, I don't know how Yu Xiao did it, his body was tightly stuck like a layer of glue On the window, Xu Liao also smelled of alcohol and was in a mess.Seeing Bai Zhu looking at them, Xu Liao smiled shyly and hurriedly dragged Yu Xiao away.

Reluctantly, Yu Xiao stretched his neck and looked out the window: "Material...Xu Liao, please don't disturb my drawing!"

Xu Liao's miserable growl came from the stairwell: "Yu Xiao, don't even think about drinking anymore."

Yu Xiao’s gaze has been refusing to leave the corpse outside the window, the distorted limbs, hideous face, the blood spreading like a flower, the old skinny tree, the deep night and the dim light. For him, this is the perfect painting. material.

Bai Zhu was almost infected by his gaze, and his gaze fell out of the window unconsciously.

Not long ago, the living person lost his breath at this time, his bright face was cut to pieces by the branches, and the beige bottom of the calico skirt was dyed scarlet at this time, showing the dullness of dried blood after being infected by the night.

The wind blew violently one after another, and the old trees kept shaking their thin bodies and shaking their dry branches and leaves.In fact, there are not many leaves on the branch. It is late winter at this time, and the leaves are almost gone a few months ago, and the new leaves have not yet sprouted.

Bai Zhu found something on the branch, and he couldn't help looking closer, but the darkness affected his vision, and the lights in the hotel couldn't even illuminate the tree trunk outside.

Another gust of wind blows violently—

The wind was stronger than the previous ones, and even made the window panes vibrate and make a muffled sound when it blew on the windows.

The thing being watched by Bai Zhu fell from the branch.

It rolled around on the ground a few times, then stopped, just rolling into the range of the hotel's lights.

It was a human eyeball.

Bai Zhu suddenly shivered.
