Chapter 5 The Blood-Red Room (5)

The Count returned angrily to the first floor.

Mrs. Schreck's eyes lit up strangely, and a hollow and sinister smile appeared on her face: "How many are left?"

The earl had a sullen face, made no sound, and only pointed to his mouth.

Mrs. Schreck leaned over to look into his mouth in confusion, but was dizzy for a few seconds by the taste of his mouth.

She pinched her nose and complained: "It's time for you to brush your teeth too...why are all your gums cut out?"

The count stared at her.

Mrs. Schreck looked behind her at the drowsy figure sitting on the stool in the display screen. Her cube-shaped head was moving bit by bit, and she looked very sleepy.

Mrs. Schreck walked over and whispered: "...the count's tongue is gone, please bless him."

The face with a large head full of horizontal lines returned to the emoji standby state, and her voice was unhappy: "Do you know how many days in a row I haven't rested."

Mrs. Schreck squeezed out a flattering smile on her wrinkled face: "I know you are working hard, isn't this all for..."

Da Tou didn't want to hear anymore: "What a waste... Okay, come here."

The count took two quick steps diligently. He squatted on the ground and raised his head obediently like a dog.

The big head stood up, stretched his hand out of the display screen, and pressed it on the earl's head.

Black mist lingered in her palm, and upon closer inspection, there was a blood-red lip in her palm.

The blood-red lips were open, with sharp teeth inside.

Black bugs flew out of the big blood-red mouth in a steady stream and penetrated into the earl's head. The earl twitched all over, his eyes were filled with black bugs, and a long tongue gradually gathered in the open mouth.

Da Tou retracted his hand.

The earl went stiff and fell straight to the ground.

His long tongue was stuck to his face, and his eyes were straight, like a big toad.

Datou sat back.

After a while, the count sat up and happily touched his lost long tongue.

Mrs. Schreck and the Count cried out, "Blessed be my Lord!"

……

……

"Is it really okay for us to be like this?" He Qingqing was a little worried.

Huo Ran used his fingers to wrap several dolls together with tape. He glanced at her, but kept holding on: "What does it matter? Since they can provide the count with our location, stuff them all into a room. Wouldn’t it be safe elsewhere?”

He Qingqing: "Although it is true, but..."

Seeing Huo Ran throw a dozen dolls with malicious eyes into the closet, she hesitated before speaking.

"The dungeon is about karma. Aren't you afraid that they will take revenge on you? In the last dungeon I went to, a man kicked a cat and was bitten to death by the cat at night."

Huo Ran's hand stopped closing the closet: "Aren't these just little dolls, and they can still harm people?"

He Qingqing shook her head: "Nothing in this place is kind to us."

Huo Ran nodded: "That's right, what should we do now? I have offended them all, can I still save them?"

He Qingqing was silent and pointed to the closet: "You can tell by looking at their expressions."

Huo Ran looked.

The skirts were thrown on the bed, and a dozen identical dolls in the closet were wrapped with tape and their mouths were wrapped. A pair of tortoise-shell eyes looked at her with the most vicious eyes.

Huo Ran held his forehead and sighed: "Don't look at me like that. It's very vicious and scary."

He Qingqing: "...let's leave quickly."

Huo Ran hummed and closed the cabinet: "Wait a minute."

"It's too late to leave. You are a newcomer and you don't know that the NPCs in the dungeon will recover soon if they are not fatally injured." He Qingqing kept chattering with worry on her face, "I only have one prop, and you are a newcomer again. Let’s hurry up…”

Huo Ran rummaged around the bed and looked under the bed. After finding nothing, he went to the dressing cabinet to search.

Seeing that she was not in a hurry and was very calm, He Qingqing was speechless: "...What are you looking for?"

Huo Ran opened the last drawer, took out a notebook from it, and shook it at her: "Look for clues." "Diary?" He Qingqing was surprised, "How could there be..."

Huo Ran flipped through it and found that the diary was quite thick. He said casually: "Since it is a copy of the game, there must be a way to pass it. Didn't you come in once and you don't know this?"

He Qingqing looked embarrassed.

There happened to be a boss in the last dungeon. Among them, except for the one who was bitten to death by a cat, they all relied on the boss to find clues and cleared the level in a daze.

Huo Ran didn't have time to look at her, so he went out with his diary.

"Find a place to look, it's not safe here anymore."

……

……

Announcement on the radio: "There are still ten minutes until the ghost arrest is over."

Huo Ran didn't go downstairs, but walked to the room at the end of the fourth floor. There was a "404" house number on the door.

"404...You're not going to enter this room, are you? That doesn't sound like a good sign."

Huo Ran opened the door, glanced briefly, pulled He Qingqing in who was cowering and resisting outside the door, and comforted him casually.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

He Qingqing looked at the room carefully. There seemed to be nothing unusual, and urged: "Look at what is written in the diary."

Huo Ran sat on the bed and opened it.

The diary is a bit old. There is a photo posted on the first page. The photo shows a blond girl holding a doll and smiling brightly. The signature is Ella's fifteenth birthday photo.

The owner of the diary is named Ella.

Huo Ran quickly flipped through the lines. Most of them were her daily records, and the words were full of happiness.

Starting in May, Ella's mood changed.

"It will be cloudy on May 6th
Today is my birthday. My mother gave me a very beautiful doll. I like it very much. I named her Xiaosha. Xiaosha, Xiaosha, you will be my sister from now on.

The weather was really bad. I originally wanted to pick some flowers in the garden and make a wreath for Xiaosha. I slept so soundly last night, Xiaosha was even thrown out of bed by me. It was still raining in the middle of the night, and someone covered me with a quilt. It was too dark for me to see clearly. It must have been my mother.

Sunny weather on May 8

My mother said that my younger brother was about to be born. I was a little happy, but also a little worried. Will my mother still like me if my younger brother is born? Forget it, if my brother is born, I will take good care of him. Who makes me the sister? I always feel like someone is watching me when I go to bed these days. Am I overthinking it?
We had a fight with Susie, but she didn’t blame me. She said that if my mother had a younger brother, she wouldn’t want me. She was the child no one wanted, and so would I. Children no one wanted would be kidnapped by witches. She talks nonsense and I will never play with her again.

Susie and I apologized and I forgave her, after all she was my best friend. "

"Witch?" Huo Ran was thoughtful.

"When it comes to witches, do you think," He Qingqing recalled, "we seem to have seen people who look like witches somewhere."

Witch-like person?

Huo Ran turned back and found a few pages torn out in the middle.

"It will be cloudy on May 16th

My brother doesn't seem to like me. He cries whenever I get close to him. My mother won't let me go to her room, and I didn't send the garland I made to my mother.

Susie is right. After my mother had a younger brother, she never looked at me again. I hated my younger brother a little, but it was not his fault that he was still so young. I couldn't do this.

Cloudy weather on May 17th
It was so noisy on the street. I seemed to see fire. Is there a fire somewhere? Hope no one got hurt. My mother came to cover me in the middle of the night, but she still loved me. I should be ashamed of my despicable and jealous heart! I will protect my brother from now on.

Cloudy weather on May 18th
Susie is gone.

The mother said that she was arrested by the church. Why did the church arrest her? "

Seeing this, Huo Ran suddenly closed the diary.

He Qingqing was confused and asked: "What's wrong?"

Huo Ran grabbed a knife out of thin air and quietly approached the door.

Huo Ran put his index finger against his lips to signal her to be silent.

Then speak with lips.

"Someone is coming, be careful."
