Once you smell the stench of rotting corpses, you will never forget it.
Ordinary people simply cannot describe the smell that begins to produce putrefactive gas due to the proliferation and growth of putrefactive bacteria in the intestines. At most, they just think it is like stinky tofu or snail noodles.
But the real corpse odor is ten or a hundred times beyond that smell.
It smells like a trash can that has been exposed to the scorching sun for ten days, and then a bucket of swill is poured into it and stirred thoroughly.
And this kind of smell is coming out of the seventh room of the inverted room.
Even though the woman behind the little girl has disappeared.
Disappeared in an instant.
It's like appearing suddenly.
However, the taste is not there.
The people blocking the door dispersed one after another.
They looked at each other, at a loss.
The sudden appearance of the woman just now scared them.
Not to mention looking into those empty eyes, it felt as if the soul was about to be sucked away.
And now?
The raging stench frightened everyone present.
Although no one present could conclude that it was corpse odor like Mo Shili, they could all make instinctive guesses.
Corpse.
Dead, still alive.
Zombies.
sly.
As soon as many associations appeared, no one dared to stay in front of the door of the seventh room of the upside-down room, and they all turned around and left.
The old woman even crawled back home, closed the door, and hid in the bed, shivering.
And there are those who are more timid and go out to find the master.
In less than a moment of burning incense, the entire courtyard knew the rumor that the seventh family in the upside-down house was "trickster".
After an hour, the whole street knew about it.
There is fear.
Do not believe it.
There were sneers.
However, when the little girl went out to buy groceries with a basket, everyone who saw the little girl tried to avoid her, even those who had just laughed.
In fact, it is these people who are the fastest to hide.
After the little girl passed by, these people gathered together and started talking.
The little girl heard the discussion behind her, but she didn't pay attention.
Carrying the vegetable basket, continue shopping.
It was at this time that Mo Shili avoided everyone's sight and entered the seventh room of the reverse seat room.
Mo Shili, who was covering his mouth and nose, was already prepared to face the impact of the corpse smell.
As a result, although there was a slight smell in the room, it was far from the stench as imagined.
Moreover, at a glance, although the whole room is a bit dark, the pots, pans, clothes, etc. are arranged in categories. When you reach out and touch it, there is no dust on the floor.
Apart from……
There is a body on the bed.
Mo Shili approached cautiously.
The corpse's face was pale, the blood had long since disappeared, and the back of the head had collapsed, but even so, the face was still beautiful.
Mo Shili was sure that this was the woman he had just glanced at.
The only difference is that his eyes were open just now, which makes people feel chills down their backs when they see him.
At this moment, his eyes were slightly closed, his expression was peaceful, as if he was sleeping soundly.
Just a pair of eyes makes a world of difference?
Mo Shili looked carefully.
Soon, he discovered something was wrong.
The face of the woman's corpse in front of her has a gelatinous texture at the corners of her mouth. If you touch it with your fingers, it will feel sticky. After touching it for a long time, if you remove your fingers, it will be drawn directly.
"glue?"
Mo Shili frowned slightly.
Later, he made more discoveries.
There were cowhide straps tied around the waist, back and shoulders of the woman's body.
There are holes drilled into the cowhide straps one finger wide.
In an instant, Mo Shili turned to look at the roof beams.
The dim light blocked Mo Shili's sight, but it made him more certain that there was something fishy on the beams.
You can't even see it in the room.
Not to mention outside the room!
The next moment, Mo Shili circled the pillar like a four-legged snake.
When Mo Shili stood bent over the beam, a pulley fixed to the beam appeared in front of him. Four pulleys formed the set of pulleys, and there was a fishing line on it.
"The fishing line passed through the cowhide straps tied to the body and passed through the pulley block..."
"In the hands of that little girl!"
"After sharing the weight with the pulley block, even a little girl can easily make the body of an adult woman stand up. The corners of her mouth fixed with dried glue make her smile look scary. When the little girl slightly loosens the fishing line
, the corpse will suddenly disappear, just like it suddenly appeared before, plus the smell!
Everyone will definitely have the first impression!”
Mo Shili gradually understood what had just happened.
As for why?
Mo Shili looked at the corpse.
In other words, it's the back of the corpse's head.
That collapsed skull speaks volumes.
Murder!
The woman was murdered!
And the little girl?
To avenge my mother!
Use rumors of 'strange things' to lure out the murderer!
Any perpetrator who heard that the body was alive would be tempted to go back and investigate.
Even if he ran away at that time.
I will definitely not be able to restrain myself from coming back!
Because, fear!
Face the fear of the unknown!
I'll be in panic all day long, suspicious of ghosts and ghosts, and eventually I can't bear the torture anymore, so I'll definitely have to put an end to it!
And that's what little girls want!
Of course, it is difficult for a little girl to do this.
But what if someone helps?
For example: the wonton stall owner.
Now that I think about it, it wasn't an accident that he saw the paper money.
But I deliberately let him see it.
No!
It was not meant for him to see, but anyone who appeared at the wonton stall during that time would see this scene!
Moreover, no matter whether that person follows or not, they will still remember this incident.
Later, whenever something 'strange' happens in the courtyard, the other party will become the best witness.
It will even be vigorously promoted!
As for how the ‘strange thing’ happened smoothly?
The behavior of the old woman next door would be the same even without his presence.
What would happen if he didn't cough in the morning?
When the little girl and the old woman were arguing, the bowl of wontons fell on the old woman.
So, what will the old woman do?
Naturally, he blocked the door and cursed.
What happened after that was basically the same as what happened just now.
"Come back with the wontons...
This was also calculated?!"
Mo Shili rubbed his eyebrows.
He really didn't expect that a wonton stall owner could have such a layout.
With this kind of scheming, if he had some poison or the like in his hands, most people would probably die.
If the poison were more special, even some masters would be capsized in the gutter!
"A scary world!"
"I must be cautious, calm, and stand back when something happens!"
Mo Shili told himself again.
So, when the little girl's footsteps sounded outside the door, Mo Shili ran directly up to the beam.
He watched from the rafters as the little girl returned to the room carrying a vegetable basket.
After putting the vegetable basket away, the little girl put her hands on her knees and sat next to the woman.
A few seconds later, a low sob sounded.
When he was tired of crying, he curled up in his mother's arms.
After a while, the little girl's breathing became longer.
For others, it's the body of horror.
But to the little girl, this is her mother.
It is her only support.
The sun sets in the west.
The bright moon rises in the east.
The courtyard that had been noisy all day became quiet.
Even quieter than before.
The 'strange thing' had spread, and people in the courtyard went to bed early and did not dare to go out at all.
If it weren't for my inability, I would have moved away by now.
And at this moment——
Bo, bo.
There was a slight movement.
Mo Shili could clearly see that a thin dagger stretched out from the door along the crack of the door and was gently turning the door latch.
