Xi'er laughed more and more wildly, and Shang Yu regretted it more and more.
Suddenly, screams replaced laughter.
Shang Yu saw with his own eyes that the evil spirit pounced on Xi'er, gouged out his eyes, broke his neck, tore the pig's head into pieces, and threw them one by one into the fire.
The pig's head cried out in the flames.
The evil ghost licked the blood on the back of his palms, and the machine turned around and stood up. No eyeballs could be seen when it opened its eyes, no teeth could be seen when it opened its mouth, and there was no sound when it laughed.
Dark green pus oozed out from all over his body, and his face suddenly showed anger. He shook his body and pus splattered everywhere.
Shang Yu escaped in time but was not spared. The pus was like sulfuric acid corroding the back of his poor right hand.
A sudden heavy rain extinguished the fire.
Only half of the eighteen buildings remain.
Shang Yu reluctantly ran away from the evil ghost, but on the way he saw Xi'er waving to him.
"Come with me, I'll help you hide."
Shang Yu stared at Xi'er without the pig's head, almost naked, and decisively chose another direction.
"Why don't you believe me? I really want to help you, and your companions still expect you to save them."
Shang Yu didn't believe her words, so he punched her hard and broke Xi'er's arm.
"Even you don't pity me anymore, do you?"
Xi'er bared her fangs and grabbed Shang Yu's arm, and was about to bite him when the evil spirit rushed towards him from the one o'clock direction.
Shang Yu was caught in the middle, and he tried every means to make them bite each other, and once he found an opportunity, he would roll out.
He understood that the evil spirits were targeting him from the beginning. They first looked at Yu Niao and then threw down Xi'er because they were wearing his coat.
Besides coats, what else do evil spirits use to identify people?
He accidentally ran into another building on the 18th floor. At the door of 101, there was a mummy of a woman with her eyeballs falling out and her nose picked out and crooked.
The door was open, and the mahogany furniture and ornaments inside were swaying here and there.
He saw a dressing table with a wig hanging on a mahogany stand next to it.
After dressing up, his phone rang. He unlocked it and looked through the text messages:
"A new mission appears on Qiu Yali's card. We have followed the instructions. Except that we are now being chased by paper men, there are no changes. Ps: Is there anything wrong with Xi'er you are escorting?"
Shang Yu said, "It's not Xi'er. The evil spirit is chasing me. You'd better return to the community as soon as possible. The real Xi'er should still be in Building 18."
The phone screen automatically dims.
Shang Yuzheng stood up, and the door of the mahogany cabinet leaning against the corner suddenly disappeared, as if someone inside was closing the door to avoid being discovered.
He looked around, only the sharpened eyebrow pencil had some lethal effect. Before he could walk over, the cabinet door opened again, and two human heads poked out from inside.
"It's us."
Shang Yu did not relax and stared coldly at Ding Beibei and Liu Yanyu as they climbed out and stood up.
"We hid in the cupboard to avoid evil spirits." Ding Beibei could only see clearly with her right eye, pointing to the injury on the back of Shang Yu's hand, "We have it too."
Liu Yanyu lowered her eyebrows and kept her eyes fixed on her pocket.
Shang Yu saw this and immediately looked away, "Besides the evil ghost and that woman, have you encountered any other ghosts?"
Ding Beibei shook his head, "We don't dare to run around."
Shang Yu continued to ask: "Is there some reason why the evil spirits are actively chasing you?"
Ding Beibei watched Liu Yanyu hesitate for a few seconds. When Shang Yu saw this, he understood and his tone became more serious, "Information can be exchanged. The more you know, the greater the possibility of leaving here alive."
Liu Yanyu remained motionless.
Ding Beibei became anxious, stretched out his hand to open Liu Yanyu's hand that was protecting his pocket, and handed an uncovered book to Shang Yu.
"When I started looking for a bride, a task appeared on my card, 'The card holder is required to bury all the corpses in the community in the flower beds.'
Liu Yanyu's mission was the same as mine, so we decided to help each other.
It wasn't that we were timid and didn't dare to touch them, but we just thought those corpses looked disgusting and we really didn't dare to do anything. After a lot of effort, we couldn't even bury a single corpse.
This book was found in the pit in the flower bed downstairs of Building No. 13."
Shang Yu still believed most of their words. He kept his word and informed Xi'er and Yu Niao about Diaobao.
Liu Yanyu finally said: "I see."
She happened to witness Yu Niao, Gao Yuan, Chen Yifei and Yang Mengxin when Mo Yan escaped, and felt that the bride's behavior was very familiar.
"The evil spirit is most likely targeting me. It might not be a good thing for you to continue wasting your time hiding."
Liu Yanyu nodded in agreement and turned to stare at the notebook in Shang Yu's hand, signaling for him to return it.
Seeing this, Ding Beibei hurriedly said: "Yes, it would be bad if there were time regulations."
The two of them left the eighteen buildings one after the other.
Ding Beibei told Liu Yanyu that the things in this community must be weird and look evil when placed on them. It would be terrible if it caused misfortune.
Liu Yanyu also knew it, but she was not willing to give up the book to others.
"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and dig the soil for me."
Liu Yanyu retracted her thoughts, picked up the stick again, and accidentally touched something very cold with her hand.
"Where did you find the shovel? This will make it easier for us to dig holes."
"I'm not looking for it at all." Liu Yanyu pulled Ding Beibei to stand up and jump out of the flower bed.
"You look so strange, what's wrong?"
"Look over there!" Liu Yanyu stiffened.
Ding Beibei was dumbfounded, "He is indeed dead."
The corpse stood up on its own and turned around to face the two of them.
"Run!"
Ding Beibei ran all the way, then turned back and found that Liu Yanyu had not followed her at all. Thinking about her small size, what if she was bitten to death by a fake corpse, she quickly returned to the way she came.
"Wait, don't worry!"
Instead of running away, Liu Yanyu held Ding Beibei's arm and insisted that she take a closer look at the moving corpse.
"Is there something crawling out and in?"
Ding Beibei looked at it for a long time before confirming that what emerged from the swollen skin of the corpse were almost transparent squirming insects.
They probably drank blood, some of it was blood red.
"They are eating the corpses. If the corpses are gone, our mission will have failed." Liu Yanyu spoke urgently.
Ding Beibei understood immediately, but those densely packed corpse-eating bugs just wanted to vomit.
"You dig the hole, and I'll move the body."
Since I have been in contact with Liu Yanyu for so long, I have just heard her speak more than three sentences.
At this moment, Ding Beibei looked at her petite and exquisite body, ignoring those disgusting insects, picked up the body and threw it into the pit.
She was so amazed that she couldn't help but feel inexplicable fear.
"Hurry up and fill in the soil, and I'll move it."
Liu Yanyu looked like she had been given a shot of blood and was full of energy.
Ding Beibei couldn't help retching, closed his eyes, shoveled dirt and threw it on the body.
The next second, she suddenly felt someone pulling her hair, and when she opened her eyes again, she was lying on the same ground as the corpse, with dirt coming towards her face.
