A human head, a human head placed inside the liquor cabinet!
All animals feel fear when they see their own kind gruesomely dead, a premonition of danger in their brains.
Wu had never seen a dead body before, and it was the first time he realized how terrifying a severed human head could be.
Every single hair stood on end, his face turned the color of eggplant, as if a bone was lodged in his throat.
He was scared stiff, unable to even turn around and run away, but that was when the knocking started.
Someone was outside the door!
The thought flashed through Wu's mind, and, as if clutching the only lifeline left, he summoned all his strength to shout, "Help! Murder! There's been a murder!"
With whatever hope he had left, Wu felt strength return to his legs, and he ran towards the office door.
The knocking grew more intense, and Wu was frantic. The door had been locked from the inside by Manager Nian, only openable from within.
"Hurry! Hurry up! I must escape!"
