Did you see my knife?

Chapter 24 The Carrion Hanging from the Roof Beam

"It came from outside." Lin Sanmu said, "Go out and have a look?"

"Can the door be opened?"

Under the reflection of the lights, Lin Sanmu's face became even paler, and with the smile slowly rippling on his face, Xu Fengchun's whole nerves became a little tense.

"Open." Lin Sanmu put the kerosene lamp on the table again, stood up, went to the door, and opened the dilapidated door. The moonlight outside poured in, shining on the ground as if covered with a layer of silver frost. The air exudes a cold chill.

Was the door closed earlier for this time to open?
The singing of nursery rhymes became more and more indistinct, until it finally disappeared. There were voices of people talking outside. Xu Fengchun walked to the door and saw that people from other rooms had already come out.

The sound seemed to wake them up.

But how to explain his dream?In the real world, why dream about this song?But here, he also heard that familiar voice strangely.

Could it be that this world has something to do with my dream?

This idea was so absurd that Xu Fengchun himself didn't believe it. Seeing Lin Sanmu go out, he followed.

At some point, two red lanterns were hung on both sides of the center of the courtyard. Everyone's faces were a little creepy under the red light of the fire. Xu Fengchun looked at everyone present.

"What's going on, I just heard someone singing Little Swallow." Zhou Hui rubbed his sleepy eyes, glanced at the person in the middle of the courtyard, yawned and wanted to go back to sleep.

"I heard it too. It's so ugly, it's like howling ghosts and wolves. Do we have children here?"

After saying this, several people's eyes fell on Lin Sanmu almost at the same time.

He is the youngest here and the closest to a child.

Lin Sanmu looked back at them lightly, "Is it a child or something else, you really don't know or don't think of it at all?"

The unwavering voice made everyone present feel a little nervous. The voice was so weird, how could it be just a child so innocent, maybe it was those ghosts.

"When did this lantern appear? Speaking of which, this courtyard is really weird, things will appear automatically? There were water and kerosene lamps in my room before. There is still a reminder from the first world. Why is there no one here?"

Zhou Hui muttered something, but he couldn't understand it. His eyes wandered around in the crowd and landed on Lin Sanmu. He whistled and joked, "That little brother, why is your face so pretty? You Is this what you are most afraid of? Impossible, right?"

Lin Sanmu seemed to be annoyed by other people talking about this issue. As soon as Zhou Hui's words fell, he turned around and prepared to go back to the room, but he didn't even bother to talk about it.

"Wait." Taking a sneak peek at everyone, Xu Fengchun's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "One is missing."

"What's missing?" Zhou Hui scratched his head. He was not too old, and he had just graduated from university. He was somehow bound by that book to this strange world, but his personality was relatively optimistic and cheerful. Fortunately, there was no danger of any kind.

Lin Sanmu paused, turned around, under the red light, everyone stood there looking at each other, no one said a word, but there should be eighteen people, but now there are seventeen strangely.

"One person is missing." Xu Fengchun said, "Two people share a room. Now there are only seventeen people. How about one more?"

Everyone looked around to see who was missing. Zhou Hui searched the crowd, still wondering why the man who lived with him was not there, and suddenly thought that the man was gone when he woke up from sleep.He thought it was the man who came out first, but...he was not in the crowd.

"Yes, it's the fat man, the fat man is gone!" Zhou Hui jumped up as if being jerked by something, and ran back to his room to check, but there was no one there.

He went to another room to check, and walked out with a serious expression: "When I woke up, he wasn't in the room, the door was open, I thought he had come out.

This courtyard is located in the center of the courtyard, and there are only nine rooms other than that. How could it be possible that a large living person suddenly disappeared?

And in this situation, no one dared to walk around. Did he go somewhere by himself, or was he caught by something...

Everyone present had some daydreams, and in the end they all shivered in unison. Zhou Hui suddenly said: "Chair, one chair is missing!"

Xu Fengchun was next to the chair, and counted immediately after hearing this, and sure enough, a chair was missing.There were originally eighteen chairs, but now only seventeen remain.There is an obvious vacancy among the side-by-side chairs, which is immediately visible.

"Look for him, quickly, look for all the places." Zhou Hui's face turned pale, and he began to search around, but this place is generally so big, if someone is around, he can see clearly.

"The door is closed." Lin Sanmu checked the door when he came in. It was sealed and could not be opened like a cement wall.

Since the gate is closed, it is impossible to go out from here, and there is no place to hide inside, so it means that the fat man really disappeared out of thin air in this yard?

"Look again in the room, have you looked under the bed?" Fang Li, a woman with acne all over her face, asked.

"Oh, what are you looking for? A big living person suddenly disappeared. What does it have to do with us? It's the middle of the night. It's better to go back to sleep. The singing just now was weird. What if we made such a big noise in the yard and provoked something? ?" Another woman with double ponytails, sagging face and dull eyes, who looked like a 90-year-old grandmother said impatiently.

"I agree with Shuanghan's words." Zhu Dazhuang, a thin man standing next to the woman named Shuanghan, raised his hand to second him: "Since the man has disappeared, there is no need to bother. We are not related to him, so why not?" What a waste of time for him."

"Are you human?" Zhou Hui scolded angrily, "If a person disappears, we won't look for it? If we don't understand the truth clearly, what if there are people who continue to disappear like him?"

"That can only mean that that person is unlucky." Zhu Dazhuang sneered, "What can be done about unlucky, and how do you know if he is afraid to hide somewhere?"

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!" Zhou Hui stopped talking and turned back to his room.

He had been in contact with the fat man, and he was the person he was most familiar with. Now that a real person suddenly disappeared, he was in a panic.

There was no light in the room, and it was a little dark. Fortunately, some red light from outside came in, allowing him to fully see the scene in the room.

The bed was empty, there was cobweb dust under the bed, and nothing.

Zhou Hui suddenly smelled a strong rancid smell, which was the smell of corpses, and he was very familiar with it.

There was a creaking sound from above, Zhou Hui looked up subconsciously, and then froze.

The roof is very high, with many beams. From this angle, one can see a rope tied to one of the beams, and a person is apparently hanging from the end of the rope.There was no wind, but the man swayed back and forth from side to side, making creaking noises as the swaying beams continued.
