"Help ... help ... uh uh ..."
The man sent out a plea for help to the guest house, but the ... only thing that responded to him was dead silence.
Ning Qiushui carefully got out of bed, came to the wooden door, and unlocked it before taking a step to the window, checking below through the cool moonlight.
He saw that a dark shadow stumbled and fled from the woods, his hand clawing hard at his neck!
It was the very man who had begged for help!
The man was pleading piteously for help to the guest house while scratching his neck frantically, as if ... there was something there.
He attempted to reach out towards the guest house, but his hand retracted as if uncontrollably, and he continued to scratch his neck furiously!
The whole man also just kept thrashing around in the courtyard, seemingly unable to get close to the guest house.
The man's screams became more and more miserable, and one's scalp was numb from hearing them!
But always, in the guest house, not a single person went out to save him.
Perhaps no one heard him.
But even if someone heard it, no one dared to go and save him.
Everyone knew that the world behind the Blood Sect was such a terrifying place!
If they went out to save someone rashly, not only might they not be able to save them, they would also bury themselves!
Finally, after about ten minutes, the man outside stopped screaming.
Originally, he thought that things would end here, but the next scene made Ning Qiushui's eyes widen and he nearly screamed out!
He saw that under the bleak moonlight, the man in the courtyard open space sat on his knees, and with both hands exerting force, he actually ripped his head off alive!
A large amount of blood sprayed out, and even sprayed as high as the first floor!
What was even more terrifying was that after ripping off his own head, this man actually didn't die yet, and his mouth was still emitting creepy cries for help:
"It hurts so much ... save me ... please beg you ... save me ..."
"It hurts ... I'm in so much pain ..."
"Why ... is no one coming to save me ... why ..."
As he spoke, he even suddenly lifted his own bloody head and slowly turned towards the guest house, as if he was checking out one house at a time!
Ning Qiushui keenly withdrew his gaze at the first opportunity, and took a step back to his bed!
He felt his heart beating extremely fast!
It wasn't until a long time later that there was finally no movement outside.
And Ning Qiushui was also dazed and confused as he finally fell asleep.
The next morning, Ning Qiushui was woken up by a knock at the door.
He got up and opened the door, and it was Bai Xiaoxiao who was already dressed.
She was still in her usual state, with almost no make-up on her face, theThere was only a splash of luscious lip red.
"Get dressed, after breakfast, we'll go to the nearest spot and wander around, we might be able to find useful clues to the way of life."
Ning Qiushui nodded and didn't say much.
He quickly got dressed and went downstairs to see Liu and Bai already waiting at the entrance.
There was already a large group of people surrounding the place.
Ning Qiushui counted them and suddenly frowned.
There were three people missing.
Did they leave first, or did they not get up?
Or perhaps ...
"What's wrong?"
Coming over to Liu and Bai, Ning Qiushui askedDao.
Neither of them said anything, and Bai Xiaoxiao picked with her delicate chin, signalling Ning Qiushui to look towards the open space in the courtyard in the distance.
There, lay a corpse.
Blood and flesh were blurred.
There was no head.
It was none other than the man Ning Qiushui had seen last night.
He pushed aside the whispering crowd and walked over towards the corpse.
The man's head was already gone, leaving only a headless corpse, with fishy red scratches all over his neck, and on the nails of his fingers, there was still a lot of shredded flesh!
"Do any of you recognise him?"
Ning Qiushui suddenly turned around and asked to the crowd.
At this time, a little girl in the crowd stood out, her face white, and softly returned:
"He, he seems to be my friend ... but I'm not sure because his head is missing."
Ning Qiushui beckoned to her.
"Then come over and take a closer look."
When that girl heard this, she panicked and hurriedly waved her hand, her tone carrying a sobbing tone:
"No ... me, I'm not going ..."
Ning Qiushui was speechless.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he also seemed to be relieved.
This was his second Blood Gate, so most of the other people he matched with were also newcomers.
Seeing such a gruesome corpse for the first time, it was expected that no one would react too well.
At this time, someone in the crowd seemed to have pushed the girl, and she screamed, staggered a few steps forward, and fell to her knees in front of the headless corpse!
The girl hurriedly covered her eyes, not daring to look at the corpse in front of her.
Luckily, after a night of wind, the corpse's blood odour wasn't so heavy, otherwise Ning Qiushui was worried that the girl would just vomit!
He got up, stood on an angle, and said to the girl who was covering her eyes:
"Alright, I've blocked the bloody part for you, now look at his clothes and other details, can you confirm his identity?"
The girl sniffed and carefully opened a finger slit to seeIt took a few seconds before he nodded and shuddered:
"It ... is him!"
Ning Qiushui frowned.
Sure enough.
The one who died was the one inside them.
"What did he go and do yesterday, do you know?"
The girl took a deep breath for a long time before stabilising her fear.
"Last night ... he, he wanted me to go with him to the temple at the back of the village to take a look, he said that the NPC called Houkong wouldn't let us go to that place, it must be because the way to life is there, but I was scared, so I didn't go..."
"He went alone and didn't come back after ... that!"
A temple?
Hearing her words, Liu Chengfeng in the crowd whitened his face.
Obviously, he had had such thoughts before.
It was only because of Bai Xiaoxiao's obstruction that he didn't put his thoughts into practice.
Otherwise ...
There would likely have to be one more headless corpse in the open space right now!
"See, this is what happens when you act rashly at night ..."
Bai Xiaoxiao's voice was very soft, but it made Liu Chengfeng beside him shiver violently.
"Alright, let's go to the canteen to eat."
Her vermilion lips lightly opened and she yawned, and after finishing theAfter that, he led the way out of the guest house, bypassing the bodies and heading towards the canteen end of the village.
Someone in the crowd behind them glared:
"No, this body is lying here ... no matter?"
Bai Xiaoxiao did not look back:
"If you have the heart, you can also bury him, but this is all meaningless."
"Within the Blood Sect, the bodies of dead ... people quickly disappear."
After Ning Qiushui carefully examined the corpse, she seemed to have discovered something, and felt out an object from the corpse's clothes, quietly hiding it in her palm, and then she also stood up and followed Bai Xiaoxiao and Liu Chengfeng, going to the canteen ...
