sunk in yesterday

After returning to Guan Yuzhou's room, Xia Zhuo was still thinking about the journal and notepad.And that photo that disappeared into the frame, what would be inside?

Guan Yuzhou stroked his hair, hugged him and lay down under the blanket to catch up on sleep.

Xia Zhuowei waited for a long time, and finally found a comfortable position to settle down, "What did you just say to that star? The little girl next to him doesn't look right at you."

"He thanked me and I reminded him to be more careful next time."

Xia Zhuo believed that there would be ghosts, but the sleepiness after the meal had fermented to the extreme in the comfortable embrace, so he didn't ask any more, "Do you want to set an alarm?"

Guan Yuzhou stroked the soft hair on the back of his head repeatedly, "No, I'll call you."

"You do not sleep?"

"sleep."

"Then you haven't set the alarm yet."

"I don't need an alarm." Guan Yuzhou explained: "Many dreams don't have such a thing as an alarm. In order to be able to wake up exactly when you want to wake up, your body has already been exercised."

"...Bull. You don't want to say that because you have to be vigilant at all times, you have practiced the ability of goldfish to sleep with their eyes open?"

Guan Yuzhou was amused by him, "Such a rich imagination?"

Xia Zhuo remained silent, relaxed physically and mentally, and fell asleep quickly after closing his eyes.

It is indeed suitable for sleeping during the day, it is comfortable and bright, and it is many times better than the danger-ridden night.

When Guan Yuzhou patted him on the back to wake him up, the clock on the table had reached 03:30.

Xia Zhuo didn't care about the hand that got into his clothes and was caressing, and stayed on the bed as usual.

It was so comfortable to sleep with Guan Yuzhou, without any nightmares, he wished he could just sleep like this until the end of time.

Guan Yuzhou didn't urge him, but just slid down the hand touching the spine, "If you can't get up, just keep lying down, huh?"

Xia Zhuo couldn't bear this kind of deliberate teasing, she was rubbed by him so that she lost her sleepiness immediately, grabbed the neutral gear and rolled to the left, pressed straight onto his body and kissed him.

Guan Yuzhou quarreled with him for a quarter of an hour. His mouth was torn and his clothes were ripped apart. There was a scratch left by his fingernails where his collarbone connected to his chest. It looked a little scary, but he looked at the young man who was getting out of bed The smile in his eyes was so clear.

"Go wash your face and get ready to go upstairs."

There was a slight conversation in the corridor, and the two of them closed the door and came out. In the living room directly opposite, they saw Yang Yin, Ge Rongrong, and Ke Jingsheng sitting on the sofa. From their perspective, the young men could only see long black hair, which obviously didn't match Zhao Bin or Wan An.

Yang Yin looked at them, wanting to say hello, seeing Xia Zhuo's index finger touching his lips and making a "hush" sound, he naturally looked away and continued talking with the stranger.

The two went up the stairs smoothly, and Xia Zhuo looked down at the situation under his feet through the gap, and sighed: "Xu Heze finally came out."

This distance makes it impossible to see the face clearly, but the general outline of the other party can be seen.

Xu Heze was wearing loose pajamas, and his hair was messy, obviously he hadn't woken up for a long time.He didn't seem to care about his appearance, he didn't look like a young master of a big family, and his back was bent like a shrimp.

Guan Yuzhou grabbed Xia Zhuo's wrist, "Let's go."

They weren't sure where the advisor had gone, but the man had spent most of the day in the kitchen and was presumably preparing dinner for them, so the timing should be safe.

When approaching the third floor, a person hurriedly walked towards him.

Wan An was taken aback by the two people who suddenly appeared in front of him, and hurriedly hid his hands behind him after regaining consciousness.

This participant has never acted with them before, and usually leaves when he is full after eating. It must be courageous to dare to go up to the third floor alone. Xia Zhuo guessed that he is also an experienced person.

Greeting them face to face, Wan An didn't intend to greet them, and lowered his head to avoid passing by.

Xia Zhuo glanced back at him, but Wan An was obviously very vigilant, and the thing he was clutching in his hand was blocked in front of him again, and he could only see that it seemed to be a light brown leather book, which was bigger than the one he found in the master bedroom. A palm-sized book should be bigger.

The two didn't pay much attention to what he got, and stood in the corridor where they had just come this morning.

After checking left and right, there was no change in the furnishings, and they entered the bedroom again.

In the morning, I couldn't find it thoroughly, and Xia Zhuo felt that since the USB flash drive could be found, there must be a camera hidden somewhere, but it was hidden a little deep.The two of them divided up the work and checked carefully, and after half an hour went down, they didn't find any place that had been overlooked before. He didn't even let go of the toilet, and the water storage cover was lifted three or four times, but there was nothing in it except clear water.

Xia Zhuo leaned against the wall, puzzled, and turned his head to see Guan Yuzhou was still squatting next to the drain pipe next to the bathtub. This person had maintained the same posture for almost 2 minutes.

He noticed something strange, and took a few steps over there, "What did you find?"

Guan Yuzhou moved to the left to make room for him.

Xia Zhuo hooked his head, and noticed that his hands were wearing disposable gloves that he didn't know where to touch, and there were a few drops of gray liquid on his fingertips, which looked sticky.

"What's this?"

"It's just that I haven't cleaned the liquid formed by the fusion of the dust left by the spout and the residual shampoo for a long time, so it's more or less sticky." Guan Yuzhou frowned, and pointed the open hour glass upright. He lo and behold.

Xia Zhuo saw the hair sticking to it at a glance, and was disgusted by the accumulated smell, "...Why are you looking at this?" He thought it was normal to have hair in the bathroom sewer.

Guan Yuzhou didn't say any more, he took the mop and squashed the hollow metal handle, and made a simple thick hook to probe into the sewer.

The metal scratched the wall of the pipe and made an unpleasant sound, and the repeated dredging made the precipitated smell keep going up. Xia Zhuo almost threw up on the spot, but was hit hard when the hook floated out of the pipe mouth. Can't say a word.

Few strands of hair were pulled out, which is actually nothing, but the important thing is that there is still a large piece of blood-stained scalp stuck on top.

"Damn it?" He backed up again and again, thinking that it was clinging to someone else's head, and being cut off bit by bit by a sharp weapon, he suddenly felt a chill.

He even heard the sound of a knife scraping his skull, which made his teeth ache, but when he saw Guan Yuzhou looking solemnly in his direction, he realized that the sound was not an illusion at all, but a real existence .

Guan Yuzhou didn't think carefully about this lump of hair sticking to his scalp, and he didn't even want to carry it on his body or even put it in the warehouse. He hurriedly stuffed it back into the sewer to restore it, and then pulled Xia Zhuo to the next door where the movement was coming from.

Xia Zhuo hesitated, and asked in a low voice before leaving the bedroom: "Could it be that the consultant is next door?"

"Go and have a look." Guan Yuzhou sensed his nervousness, and the hand holding his wrist slipped slightly, and took his hand instead, "Afraid?"

"I'm afraid it won't happen." Xia Zhuo clasped his fingertips, shook his head and denied, "It's just that the impact of that thing just now was too strong, I think seeing a severed head in front of me brought me a lot of pain." The shock was not as great as the scalp."

Guan Yuzhou smiled lightly, and was about to say something to comfort her, but Xia Zhuo scratched her palm with her nails instead.

Xia Zhuo took the lead in pushing the door out, and revived on the spot, "Let's go! I want to see what happened in this house."

Just as Guan Yuzhou expected, the closed door next door opened.When they first arrived, they had checked the lock status of each room, so they naturally had an impression of this door.

There was no sound of footsteps or unlocking outside the door just now. The door was opened from the inside.

Xia Zhuo originally thought it was a room for consultants to live in temporarily, but after a quick glance, she knew it belonged to a girl.

Pink wallpaper, pink curtains, pink bed nets, pink wardrobe...

Everything here is pink, with cartoon patterns of little white cats or puppies, which look cute and lively.The missing art photos in the corridor are placed in a row on the low shelf, and the bright colors of the clothes become the only embellishment in this monochrome room.

Don't even think about it, this is Xu Mengzhi's boudoir.

The bathroom next to the master bedroom of the old house is also the bathroom. Seeing Guan Yuzhou heading straight for the frosted glass door, Xia Zhuo hurriedly followed, fearing that there would be a sudden change.

The mirror on the wall reflects the figures of the two and the background behind them. Both the pool and the ground are clean, and the messy picture in the imagination does not appear.But the bathtub was surrounded by a plastic waterproof curtain, and the interior view could not be seen from the outside, only the constant sound of ticking water and a bloated silhouette of a human figure could be vaguely seen.

Xia Zhuo licked his slightly dry lips, and asked the man beside him with his eyes: Do you want to open it?

Guan Yuzhou only blocked him from behind, reached out and grabbed one end of the curtain, and responded with actions.

The white tiles were covered with streaks of blood spots. A drop of red liquid emerged from the small hole of the shower and fell into the large bathtub. The ripples were light, and the rising water almost overflowed.The one in the middle is not a human being, but a giant panda cloth doll, with thread lacerations at the two eyes, and the blood-stained cotton scrambled out, falling into two sticky strands and sticking to the face. In addition, there is a small swimming ring for children floating on the surface.

The strong fishy smell broke through a thin layer of cloth and entered the nasal cavity. The smell of being hit twice in a short period of time was so unbearable that he retched, and vomited some acidic water out of the pool.

The blood was very dark, slightly blackened, and judging from the amount that could fill a bathtub, it was definitely not enough to flow from one or two people.Xia Zhuo took a few sips of the water passed by Guan Yuzhou, and was about to wave his hand to say it was okay, when he keenly caught the sound of footsteps outside the house.

The person who came was definitely not one of their participants, and he could tell that he was heading towards the direction of the room if he looked carefully.

Xia Zhuo quickly searched for a place to hide in this bathroom.

The lockers under the sink are layered, and unless they are cut into pieces, they can’t fit a whole person in. Now when you go out from the bathroom, it is very likely that the people who come will face the top, maybe throw them back downstairs, maybe Be a part of this pool of blood.

"Come here, get here and hide."

Xia Zhuo turned his head, and Guan Yuzhou had already hollowed out the cotton wool in the puppet in twos and twos, and the gap inside was wide enough for an adult to hide in.He let Guan Yuzhou stuff himself in, and asked worriedly, "What about you?"

Guan Yuzhou glanced at the bathtub and didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious.

Going in again?Xia Zhuo is still brooding over the fact that this man dived into the swamp not long ago, and now he really can't let go of letting him dive into the bloody water again, regardless of whether there are any unknown things in the pool, just from its In terms of size, it is more than enough to accommodate a ten-year-old girl, but it is still a bit reluctant for a man who is 1.8 meters faster than 1.9 meters, not to mention that this puppet has already occupied half of the country.

Guan Yuzhou didn't give him time to comment, and carried him back to the pool with the puppet, "He's outside the door now, and he will definitely come in. There is no other place to hide here. Don't move for a while, no matter what. Be quiet, he won't find you."

The ice-cold water dipped into the puppet's skin, making Xia Zhuo who was wrapped inside goosebumps.

Seeing his reluctance to agree, Guan Yuzhou reached out to caress his frowning brows, "Be obedient."

Xia Zhuo pursed his mouth, knowing that there was no other way at the moment, and his stubbornness and refusal would only make things worse for the two of them, so when Guan Yuzhou pulled away to leave, he tore off the necklace from his neck and stuffed it in, "You You have to help me zip up the back."

Re-zipping the zipper behind the panda and making sure it was placed in the same position as before, Guan Yuzhou dived into the pool of blood holding the swimming ring.Xia Zhuo watched the top strands of his hair sink, and for a moment didn't know whether to rejoice that the pool was big enough or worry that the pool was too deep.

He did not gather his composure until he realized that his arm stretched in the panda's arm was grasped by one hand. Through the cotton wool stuffed in his eyes, the red water waves around him swung around in his sight, and the messy water surface was swaying. Restoring calm little by little.

The footsteps were already very close, and if the plastic curtain hadn't been pulled back, he could even see the figure of the other party through the frosted glass.

When the last wave of water disappeared, the bathroom door was opened.

The shower curtain was pulled open, the hook and the shower curtain rod rubbed against each other quickly, and the ear-piercing creaking sound made the heart beat fast.Xia Zhuo thought that he would see a face with a metal mask, but the reality was quite different from what he thought.

The person who came was not a consultant, but Xu Mengzhi's brother, Xu Heze, who was talking to Yang Yin and the others downstairs.
