Chapter 2 The Girl in Red

7 p.m.

Darkness enveloped the entire city.

Although there are still several hours before the 12 o'clock curfew, there are already fewer people on the nearby streets due to rumors on the Internet that a horrifying incident of "ghosts eating people" occurred in the Aegean Community.

Xu Nian didn't see Zhao Qiang when he arrived, so he stood by the trash can and smoked alone.

Smoke rings dispersed.

One stick, two sticks, three sticks. Zhao Qiang still didn’t show up.

Xu Nian was a little confused, so he put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can and made a phone call.

"Brother Qiang, where are you? I've been waiting for you for a long time?"

There was a sound of rapid breathing on the phone, and after a while, he finally said weakly: "Brother, I'm really sorry. Your sister-in-law and her brother have to continue working. You can go in and see for yourself first. The password for the corridor is 666666, and the password for the room is 330715. Be sure not to let other people see it. Remember to wear shoe covers and gloves. Honey, I’m just going to answer the phone. Hang up right now.”

beep--

Xu Nian looked at the phone screen in astonishment and said, "Nima, who is this worried about?"

Shaking his head, he glanced at the gate of the Aegean Community next to him, then lowered the brim of his hat, put on his sunglasses, pulled up his high collar, and easily followed a couple into the community.

"Building 13, Unit 2, No. 404."

It was the first time for Xu Nian to come to this community, so after silently reciting the location of the crime recorded in the file, he used street lights to search for it.

To say that this community is indeed high-end, each building in the community is a standard six-story building. The community not only has rockeries and fake water for appearance, but also has basketball courts, badminton courts, table tennis tables, slides, exercise equipment, etc. The supporting entertainment and sports facilities really allowed him, a lower-class citizen living near the city wall, to have a good feel of the living environment of the middle- and upper-class people.

He had to say with emotion: "It's so damn good to have money."

Soon, he found Building 13.

Directly in front of Building 13 was an equipment area for middle-aged and elderly people to exercise, but there was no one there at the moment. If it weren't for the bright lights upstairs, he would have thought it was an empty building with no one inhabited.

Without delay, he took out disposable gloves and shoe covers from his pocket and put them on, then entered the password to open the corridor door and went directly to the fourth floor.

In order to prevent the residents here from hearing any noise, he was very careful with every step he took. Even when he went upstairs, he would lift it gently and hardly hear the slightest sound.

Going upstairs went smoothly, and he soon arrived in front of door 404. There was a security hall seal on the door, and the combination lock keyboard was covered with dust.

He glanced at the aisle, listened for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem, he carefully entered the password, only to hear a "beep" sound, and the green light turned on.

He slipped into the room in a flash and closed the door gently.

This is a very simple living room.

The sofa, coffee table, marble floor, wall-mounted TV, etc. were no different from other places. After looking around in the moonlight, he did not find anything unusual in the room.

Although there was slight dust, the cleanliness of the room allowed him to make a preliminary judgment about Link.

"This is a guy with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia."

After noticing that the bookcases on the wall behind the sofa were full of books tilted to the left, he became more certain of his judgment.

Then, he looked through each room again, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual, he came to the kitchen.

The only place he hadn't checked yet.

According to the information, Link is a lonely person who lives alone. Although he occasionally orders some takeaways, it is impossible not to cook a meal. Therefore, in this seemingly unimportant area, it is very likely that there are hidden things that ordinary people can see. The secret that cannot be reached.

He looked around carefully. Whether it was pots, pans, chopping boards, tables, or even the sink, they were all spotlessly clean and neatly arranged, perfectly showing what a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia should do. Performance.

He frowned and touched the countertop with his fingers. After confirming that there was no trace of dust, he said with a horrified expression: "This place has been blocked by the police for five days. How is it possible that there is no dust at all?"

Thinking of this, he felt an inexplicable coldness on the back of his neck, as if there was a sinister gaze staring at him behind him in this dark and empty kitchen.

Stare at him.

He didn't dare to move at all, and his whole back was soaked with cold sweat.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly reached into his pocket.

Boom——

There was a muffled sound out of thin air.

Cardiac arrest.

His pupils dilated dramatically.

In front of me, a girl in red appeared with a kitchen knife. She stood expressionlessly in front of the chopping board, cutting the red meat on the chopping board.

Her speed was not fast, but she was very rhythmic. Every time she cut the meat, blood splattered on her body, on the chopping board, on the floor, and everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Xu Nian's nervous heart calmed down inexplicably, and he slowly took out a red rattle from his pocket with his left hand.

"What did you cut?"

Xu Nian asked lightly.

"Meat."

The girl in red slowly turned her head, and a strange face that seemed to have been patched up bit by bit with superb needlework appeared in his sight.

Xu Nian's pupils shrank, but he still said calmly: "What kind of meat?"

“Tasty meat.”

The girl in red grinned, and several of the shocking black lines on her face broke, and a trace of blood flowed out of her skin: "Just like you."

Xu Nian nodded: "You are Wang Yuying, right?"

The girl in red blinked, and the blood on her face flowed more and more.

"Do you know me? Or do you love me as deeply as he does?"

Xu Nian's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "Yes, I love you as deeply as he does."

The girl in red walked to Xu Nian's side, handed the kitchen knife in her hand to Xu Nian, and the whole person leaned on Xu Nian's chest like a little bird.

"You know, I like to eat meat, delicious meat."

"Come on, start from here."

"Prove it to me!"

The girl in red drew circles around Xu Nian's heart with her fingers, and her soft voice seemed to carry an irresistible magic.

Xu Nian had a dull expression, and the whole person was like a puppet. He slowly raised the kitchen knife, and then, under the strange and greedy eyes of the girl in red, he stabbed the girl's back with a backhand knife.

"Puff".

Xu Nian quickly drew the knife, stepped back, and then stabbed forward again like lightning.

Straight into the girl's chest

No,

It's the heart.

"You"

The girl in red stared at the indifferent Xu Nian in front of her, and her bloody face was full of astonishment and disbelief.

Xu Nian played a knife flower, and then without saying a word, he chopped at the head of the girl in red again.

It was a posture of taking advantage of your illness to kill you.

However, the girl in red grinned, did not dodge, and let Xu Nian chop her head with a knife.

The sharp kitchen knife cut into the girl's head half an inch.

Xu Nian was covered in blood.

Xu Nian's pupils shrank, and he instinctively felt a sense of crisis. He didn't have time to draw his knife, so he quickly retreated and switched the rattle in his left hand to his right hand.

At this time, the girl in red pulled out the kitchen knife on her head with a "puff" sound and threw it on the ground. Then, with a "chuckle" of strange laughter, her hands were inserted into the wound on her head like claws.

Blood flowed out along her fingers.

The pungent smell of blood almost filled the entire kitchen.

Although Xu Nian was well-informed, he was shocked by such a horrifying scene. He hurriedly retreated, and the rattle in his hand also "dong dong" sounded because of his nervousness.

"Chu chu chu, meat, delicious meat."

At this time, the girl in red exerted force with both hands.

"Rip".

The girl in red laughed.

Blood flowed between her teeth.

She continued to push down with both hands.

The eyes, nose, and mouth could no longer be seen.

But Xu Nian could feel that she was laughing.

She laughed even happier.

As if she had finally taken off her cotton hat in the middle of summer, the girl in red finally let out a moan of extreme comfort.

Xu Nian took a deep breath, unable to control the shock in his heart any longer, raised the rattle high, and closed his eyes.
