"What does this mean? What do you mean it's me who is looking at me?" Lu Qing followed her sister with a puzzled expression on her face.
The prompt on the notice board is like a riddle, telling things in a cryptic way, making it difficult for people to guess what it means.
Lu Qing couldn't think of any results in a short time, so she could only follow her sister quietly.
This tunnel is not long. After all, the basement of the home is not very far from my sister's room. The two of them only walked for a short while and arrived at the end of the entire tunnel.
There was a crack at the end of the tunnel. My sister squatted down next to the crack, pointed at the crack with her finger, and whispered: "This is the crack on the ceiling of the basement. I wrote it down after sneaking into the basement before. Digging this tunnel is
To be able to observe the basement through this crack."
As she spoke, her sister made some room for Lu Qing. This tunnel was originally only for her to use alone, but now that the two of them are crowded together, it seems a bit narrow.
The two of them were squeezed together, and it was as if they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeat in the quiet tunnel. The younger sister's body temperature was not high and she felt a little cool to the touch.
Lu Qing moved her head above the crack and looked through the crack at the layout in the basement.
Just as Lu Qing imagined, the walls of the basement are made of thick stone bricks, and some wooden frames are hung on the walls for unknown purposes. On the walls of the basement, there is also a four-sided stone frame.
Square device.
The fireplace of this device was emitting a soft light at this time, which actually reminded Lu Qing of the milky white ball of light she saw before. From the small hole above the device, an inexplicable gas full of security floated.
Come on, I think this is the safety gas that those monsters hate.
After staring at the gas stove for a while, Lu Qing looked away from the gas stove and looked at the object in another corner of the basement.
"Is that the monster you mentioned?" Lu Qing asked in a low voice.
"Well, that's it." My sister nodded and replied affirmatively.
"That's really..." Lu Qing looked at this scene and didn't know what to say. The monster looked more disgusting than she imagined.
I saw the corpse on the ground. Large areas of flesh on the body were swollen with pus, and lines that looked like tentacles or muscles were all over its body.
Structures that looked like centipede legs grew on the back of the corpse. It had no head, and the part above the neck had disappeared. It was as if something had gotten out of the bloody neck.
Right in front of the corpse was a huge mutated centipede, with red and black blood spraying all over the ground, and a mark that looked like it had been penetrated by a sharp weapon on the centipede's corpse.
If Lu Qing guessed correctly, this centipede should have been nailed to the ground alive with some kind of sharp weapon.
This scene is disgusting, especially after knowing that the food my mother brought out today was probably provided by this creature.
Lu Qing was very glad that she had not touched this thing even once, otherwise her current feeling would definitely not be as simple as nausea.
Looking at other places in the basement, apart from a large amount of debris, the only thing that is of concern is the diesel generator that has stopped operating.
"You've stayed here long enough, it's time for us to leave." My sister reminded Lu Qing in a low voice.
"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded, and she knew exactly what her sister meant.
The reason she entered her sister's room was to help her sister, who was feeling uncomfortable and sick, eat the food. However, she had been staying in this room for a long time. If she didn't go out, she might attract her mother's attention.
It would be bad if the mother came to knock on the door at this time and found that no one answered the door, so she opened the door and saw the tunnel under the debris.
Leaving the tunnel with some difficulty, Lu Qing reached out and patted her body to remove the dust on it.
Anyway, when she went out yesterday, there was a lot of dust stuck to her body. Although it has become a bit more now, I believe her mother will not notice it after she took care of it.
Picking up the dinner plate on the counter, Lu Qing pushed open her sister's door and walked out.
Pushing open the door, Lu Qing came to the kitchen with a dinner plate. She happened to see her mother wiping the dishes with a wet rag. After seeing Lu Qing come in, her eyes stayed on the dinner plate for a moment, and then she smiled happily.
smiled and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Ah Qing, just put the dinner plate here."
"Yes." Nodding, Lu Qing placed the dinner plate on her mother's finger, and then hurriedly left the kitchen.
Leaving the kitchen, Lu Qing recalled the smile her mother had just shown to her in the kitchen, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should believe her mother or not.
There are problems everywhere in this family. Almost everyone has their own secrets. Speaking of secrets...
Lu Qing looked around and soon found his younger brother squatting in the corner. He was squatting in the corner in a daze just like yesterday, and he seemed to have an indescribable weirdness.
Thinking of her brother's weird behavior during the previous meal, Lu Qing felt that she needed to investigate.
Arriving in front of his younger brother, Lu Qing knelt down and waved his hand in front of his brother's face.
"..."
No response.
It's strange. Even if a normal person is in a daze, if someone shakes his hand in front of him, he should be able to wake up.
Without making any further attempts, Lu Qing stared at his brother for a while and found that he didn't even blink, as if he was a corpse.
Lu Qing was startled by her own idea, but if she thought about it carefully, it seemed quite reasonable, and she couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
Could it be that the younger brother died for some reason last night and was the person who killed the younger brother? Or was it some kind of creature that relied on remote control to control the younger brother's body?
This is also the reason why my brother looked weird when we were eating today.
"..."
Drops of cold sweat could not help but form on his head. The more Lu Qing thought about it, the more he felt that he was right, and the most likely person to control his younger brother was...
"Aqing?"
Behind him, his mother's weak voice with a hint of softness sounded. After hearing her mother's voice, Lu Qing was startled and her muscles tensed up. She turned around sluggishly, looked at her mother and said: "
What's the matter, mom?"
For some reason, she felt that her mother's expression was a little cold at this moment. Even when she called her to stop, there was a chill hidden under the warmth that she could not usually feel.
"It's nothing, I just have something to talk to your brother about. If you're bored, just go and play with your sister." Mother said in a calm voice.
"Well, I understand."
Nodding slightly stiffly, Lu Qing stepped away from her brother. After thinking about it, she finally returned to her room.
"thump."
Lu Qing closed the door to the room, her mind filled with what had just happened.
"There is definitely something wrong with mother." She leaned against the door and thought to herself.
