Returning from the abyss

Chapter 253 Dark Night
The wind blew into the dining room through the open windows, shaking the candles.After realizing this, Asayama Kiyotaro by the window quickly closed the window.

"Professor Shen's deduction is also reasonable, but now is not the time to find the roots of devils and witches." Lu Ning stood up, "As Karl said, we don't have to mess around at this time, but I think there may be one thing that must be solved now." It's done."

"What?" Qu Siyuan asked.

"Re-introduce yourself."

Lu Ning looked around, then put her hand on her chest and said, "Let me just say a little bit, I came here not by accident, but to find a rare medicinal plant. Arrived here, and disappeared. Now I have only two goals, to find the medicinal plant, and to ensure that my colleague never appears again."

"You..." Kiyotaro Asayama looked at her in astonishment, and the expressions of the others were similar.But Lu Ning just sneered: "It's all academic monopoly, you don't have to show that expression. Since I am like this, it is not difficult for me to infer that all of you have not very clean identities and backgrounds, for example... Qianshan, why are you in the same class as me?" The companions who came don't often act with you?"

Being questioned like this, Kiyotaro Asayama's expression became a little more dignified.

"Also, Professor Shen and Ms. Ye understand very well, Yiluo, what is your purpose for following them to such a remote place?"

"Tsk." Yi Luo smacked his lips.

"Xia Xinhe, at least we met in this scene. You are an annoying person, but don't you think the deliberate pickpocketing behavior at the beginning was too contrived? Do you think everyone can't notice it? Why do you deliberately make yourself Isolated?" Lu Ning turned her finger again, pointing at the two sitting in the corner.

"And Sally... Since you asked me to come here yesterday, all your actions have been extremely suspicious."

Lu Ning raised the corners of her mouth and put her hands back into her pockets: "Therefore, I hope everyone can introduce themselves to a limited extent, so as to avoid conflicts due to personal goals in the future."

Everyone is still silent.

"Okay... I'm going to the bathroom. I hope I can at least hear some voices when I come back. Otherwise, I can only take a similar approach to Fujii. I don't trust you at all."

She didn't take a flashlight, and walked out of the restaurant directly. The bathroom is next to the restaurant. Within this distance, it can be said to be a "safe distance" in the general sense.

"She's alone..." Zhu You glanced over there worriedly, and wanted to get up, but Kiyotaro Asayama stopped her directly.

"Everyone here is not allowed to follow, otherwise I will suspect that you have the intention of trying to murder others."

"Hehehe..." Shen Lishu tapped on his crutches, started to laugh lowly, but didn't say anything.Qu Siyuan and Xue Fengchun whispered, Qiu Yiyun sat at a loss, and Sally looked at Yu Guiting and the two bodyguards anxiously. Everyone was in a strange atmosphere at the moment.

Lu Ning walked into the bathroom.

The space here is small, only a small window can see the outside, facing the direction of the backyard.The width of the small window obviously cannot allow a person to pass through, and the other two bathroom windows here are also of the same form.Lu Ning raised her hand and opened the window. She could just see the outside through the window. Today's moonlight is not very clear, and she can only vaguely see the wall of the opposite hot spring room and the door on the corridor side.

Of course she didn't really want to use the bathroom.

"Lu Ning?"

Maybe it was because of staying here for too long, Zhu You's voice sounded outside the door.She shouted at the door of the restaurant without getting too close: "Are you okay? Why did it take so long?"

"The toilet is broken." Lu Ning opened the door and walked out, "After all, it is the toilet of this era...it seems to be blocked, I have to go to another one."

"no!"

"I didn't say to go alone..." Lu Ning glanced at the restaurant, "If you are not at ease, you can come with me, but according to our majority principle, at least three people should go with me."

"Then I'll follow." Zhu You was the first to say, "It just so happens that I want to..."

"Both, it would be better if they were all girls?" Qiu Yiyun also got up and said.

"But Tachikawa, Sugiyama, and Inawara are all near the side yard, right?" Asayama frowned, "If you use the bathroom in the laundry room over there, you can get their support at any time."

"I have to remind you that Zhong Feiying's disappearance was just because he didn't pay attention to his back for a moment." Lu Ning shook her head, "In the current state, no matter how prepared you are, you can't be too prepared."

"Then I'll go there together, so we can make up three people?" Sally also got up, "This is also a good way to test how far the devil can do it."

After the team was organized, they walked down the corridor together with flashlights.

The laundry room was almost completely dark, and the wind was blowing outside at this time, and the woods behind the house made rustling noises, making it even more scary in the quiet environment.Lu Ning walked into the bathroom without hesitation, closed the door, and the three of Zhu You stood in the laundry room and stared.

"I remember there is a small window in the bathroom." Sally said suddenly, "Should we also pay attention to that?"

"That makes sense." Zhu You nodded, "And Li Chuanliang said that he wanted to check the side yard, but I didn't hear any movement in the yard. Speaking of which...where are all the people who came out to check the situation?"

"It's too quiet...a bit scary." Qiu Yiyun subconsciously leaned against Zhu You.

"We'd better be more prepared." Sally pushed open the door leading to the side yard, poked her head out and looked outside, the cold wind blew by, she couldn't help shivering, and immediately retracted her head.

"I didn't see anyone, where did Li Chuanliang and the others go?"

"Maybe...the basement of the tool room?" Qiu Yiyun guessed.

"There's nothing to see there." Sally curled her lips. "Many people have gone to see it during the day. There are piles of things that are not used all the year round, and there is not even a sinister pattern."

Zhu You picked up the shotgun, squatted down and opened the door and walked into the side yard, then turned around and said, "Then let me guard the outside, you'd better pay attention to the corridor, I don't know if the devil is inside or outside the house."

"Okay...Okay!" Qiu Yiyun responded quickly, and then walked to the door on the side of the corridor, leaning against the wall to listen to the movement outside.

"Lu Ning...you're so slow." Sally knocked on the bathroom door impatiently, "I'm also in a hurry, can you hurry up?"

"Sorry, you can come in."

The door lock slammed lightly, and Sally quickly pushed the door open, and saw Lu Ning was washing her hands, but her eyes were slightly lost in the mirror.

"Is there something in the mirror?"

"No, I just remembered something from the past." Lu Ning replied casually without turning her head, "I know a very good person. In a very similar place, she saw the evil spirit in the mirror."

"It sounds like an unfortunate story." Sally pulled her clothes away, making a loud noise.

"Yes. She wanted to save people, but I always wanted to kill people. The two of us became wonderful friends and never saw each other again. Looking at me in the mirror now, it seems to be looking at me. Like a ghost."

"Do you still regret it?"

"I don't mind living with regrets. Although I don't agree with it, I can somewhat understand the theory that 'memory' is an important part of a person."

Lu Ning smiled lightly and shook her head, picked up the flashlight and turned around.

"I said a lot of emotions, don't take it to heart, I'll come out now..."

chapped.

The sharp blade pierced through her clothes and went straight into her abdomen. At the same time, she held a handkerchief with one hand and pressed it on Lu Ning's nose and mouth. The strong anesthetic made her unable to speak. Press the blade hard into your belly.

"You're a little too focused."

The wind blew outside the window, and only Lu Ning could hear Sally's whisper.

"I thought Xiang Yi thought it was a difficult person to deal with, but it turns out that she is just a little girl who hurts the spring and the autumn."

She let go of the handle of the knife, stretched out her hand to press on the wall next to her, led Lu Ning directly through a trap door, and rolled into the guest room next to her.

"You... are Millie..."

Lu Ning lay on the ground and made a small sound. Sally didn't answer immediately, but listened to the movement outside, and then provoked a completely different, ecstatic smile from before.

"That's right, I'm the Millie who is very interested in you. It's just that you found out too late..."

"Do you dare to... do it at a time like this?"

"I never let go of any good opportunity. Let me tell you that my identity is also a human collector, and my taste is just similar. I will disguise your death as a demon attack, thank me , you will be the first body to be found." Sally pulled out the knife from Lu Ning's abdomen, this time pointing at her heart, "Do you have any last words? For the sake of my interest in you, I want you to say one more word."

"Ronan..."

"Just a clever trick. Don't worry, my brother will return in the right way at dawn. This is just a slightly fantastic ghost story."

"Why do you still make such a choice when you know there is a demon?"

"It's not that I haven't experienced hunting scenes before. Confrontation is the real content of this scene! There must be murderers like me hiding among the tourists. It's our 'secret mission' to kill all of you secretly. Alright, You should be able to go on your way now."

Sally stabbed the knife into Lu Ning's heart forcefully.

Blood poured out slowly, and along the wound, Sally was slightly intoxicated by the smell of blood in the air, but felt something was wrong with the touch.

She has killed a lot of people, whether they are tourists or characters in the scene, and she has pierced the heart many times. Only this time, something is missing.

For example... the sticky feeling when the warm blood is sprayed onto the face by the heart's last struggle.

She lowered her head and saw the blood oozing slowly along the crack between the blade and the clothes, her eyes were a little dull. Normally, the blood should gush out along the blood groove and leave the body in the fastest way.

A somewhat rough hand supported her cheeks, making her gaze fall on a pair of beast-like golden vertical pupils.

"Then I would like to thank you for creating this ideal environment."

"you……"

Sally—Millie just said one word, her throat was blocked by a big hand, and she couldn't continue speaking.

"Hush." ​​Lu Ning made a "silence" gesture with her normal hand, "Since this matter started quietly, it's better to end quietly. The only difference is that there will still be no demons." The dead bodies are just within the range of people's vision."

Millie struggled to break Lu Ning's huge arm with her hands, but she couldn't keep up with her strength. Gradually, her movements became smaller and smaller, staring at a pair of eyes full of confusion and unwillingness, and lost her vitality.

"Thank you for letting me know. I'm afraid this mission will have to be reassessed. I thought avoiding eyes would consume a lot of time and energy. Now it seems that the tourists are not single-minded...then there is still room for it." Lu Ning carried the rice Li's body, looking out the window to his RV on the shore of Baisha Lake, the angle and position are just right.

"So……"

For an instant, she sank into the shadows together with Millie's body.
