Chapter 430 The corpse in the bathtub
My sister's room was a bit messy, with girly things piled up on the bed. Yu Xing followed Ye Ting into the room and took a cursory glance.
There are several large dolls on the bed, including rabbits, bears, and ragdolls. Two books are spread out in the free space. In the corner next to the books, there is also a red-cased PSP game console squeezed into the bed. It was slightly wrinkled, but the desk next to the bed was clean.
Yu Xing could already imagine that Ye Ting was reading and studying in bed. When she was tired, she would lie down and play games for a while. Speaking of which, this little life was quite pleasant.
But now she wanted her brother to make up lessons for her. Instead of lying on the bed, Ye Ting picked up the book and sat down at the desk in a dignified manner, leaving a stool for Yu Xing.
“Let's take tutoring lessons in math today, functions and so on...” Her voice was soft, as if she was a little ashamed that she was not good at math. “I read it by myself, so I can't understand it.”
Yu Xing nodded and sat next to Ye Ting.
For now, except for Ye Ting's poor health, her behavior is the most like a normal person. He feels that he should be able to cultivate a relationship with Ye Ting a little, so that he can get information from her later.
So, he made up two hours of extra time.
Although he was born relatively early, Yu Xing also learned a lot when he was wandering around alone. There was no pressure in junior high school mathematics. He carefully explained the knowledge points to the little girl and even took out the little girl's exercises. He drew some questions for her to do. After she finished, she had to check them. If she made a mistake, she would repeat the lesson again.
Finally, after finishing the last question, Ye Ting breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, I finally understand it. Mathematics is really annoying."
Yu Xing chuckled lightly: "Mathematics is the easiest subject to improve scores during exams. You must study this carefully. It is also related to physics."
"...I know, I'm just complaining." Ye Ting shook her head helplessly, "Tell me about physics tomorrow. Maybe I will be interested in mathematics because of physics."
Yu Xing said yes, stood up and yawned.
It was strange that he was already sleepy after just a few hours after school, and it was still a few minutes before nine o'clock.
"Second brother is also very tired from the exams these two days. Why don't you go to bed early." Ye Ting was very concerned about him. "I will let the second brother use the bathroom today."
"It's okay, I'm really sleepy." Yu Xing agreed. There were no particularly obvious clues in the sister's room for the time being. I'm afraid even if there were, they were hidden deep. He had to find a way to get rid of Ye Ting and then search again. .
It was impossible today. There was no reason for him to call a little girl out of the room at night. Even if Ye Ting went to wash up later, Ye Ming would have come up too, which was inconvenient.
Just when Yu Xing was about to leave, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the shadow of a red game console appeared in his mind.
Um?
Yu Xing was slightly startled. This feeling was very familiar to him. It was a special inspiration enhanced during channeling. It came from meeting the ghost Chenshu.
So this ability still exists?
This is almost his most inconspicuous power, and it doesn't even have a name. Doesn't the system know that he has this ability, so it omitted this item when blocking the sacrifices and physique?
Yu Xing did not delve into it for the time being. No matter how this power escaped the system, it was a good thing for him. The top priority was to investigate what was so special about that PSP game console that it was worthy of inspiration to remind him alone.
Yu Xing walked past Ye Ting's bed and pretended to have just seen the game console: "By the way, what games have you been playing recently?"
"Ah?" Ye Ting was stunned for a moment, looking at the game console on the bed, and then said hesitantly, "It's that kind of... stand-alone... small game."
“I seem a little interested, what's the name of the game?” Yu Xing felt like he was asking if his child had a parent who fell in love early.
"Oh, it's just..." Ye Ting paused and finally told him, "It's just a horror game, but don't worry, this level of fright will not make my health worse!"
"You actually like to play horror games?" Yu Xing's heart moved, knowing that this might be a clue. He asked this, but he was not afraid of ruining the character, because Ye Ting's room was decorated in a very warm and girly style, with a little bit of horror elements. None, presumably she has never shown any interest in this area before.
He thought for two seconds: "Could it be that he was dragged along by Yu?"
"Oh, that's about it. Sister Yu Wan likes supernatural things so much. I'm just curious after listening to it for a long time." Ye Ting glanced at him secretly from the corner of her eye, holding her hands together, a little nervous, "Sister Yu Wan You can just like these, and it doesn't matter if I understand, right?”
Yu Xing didn't speak, he put on a slightly frowning expression.
As expected, Ye Ting continued to persuade her: "Just because you like Sister Yu Wan, you can't indulge her. If you don't like me, you shouldn't let me have access to these things."
Yu Xing is always very good at grasping the key points. He immediately replied: "What are you kidding? How could I not like you?"
"Wow, you admitted that you like Sister Yu Wan!" Ye Ting is also very good at focusing on the key points. To a certain extent, there are still similarities between the two.
Yu Xing tried his best to hide but still showed a trace of shyness: "...Don't talk nonsense. If you play games, remember not to play too late, and don't always think about games when studying."
Ye Ting said repeatedly: "I know, I know, brother, please leave quickly!"
Yu Xing clicked his tongue in his heart. When it is really useful, please come quickly. When it is not useful, please leave quickly.
He didn't take this opportunity to see what the so-called horror game was like, because it didn't match the personality he liked to learn. He had to wait until the next time and come in when others didn't know.
He walked out of Ye Ting's room thoughtfully, and closed the door for Ye Ting with his backhand.
In the master bedroom opposite the room, overlapping chains were hung in iron rings specially inlaid on both sides of the door frame. The huge padlock was very eye-catching. He had not seen it clearly at a glance just now. Now that he had time to stop and observe, he found that there was something on the chain. A small bell hung.
There is no wind on the second floor. This kind of bell usually does not ring casually, but if someone touches the chain, it will definitely be discovered.
It seems like something weird is locked in the master bedroom. I wonder if it's the bodies of my parents?
It is self-evident who originally lived in the remaining master bedroom. What is noteworthy is the act of locking it. Who holds the key?
The person with the key should have some idea of the situation in the master bedroom.
With all kinds of thoughts, Yu Xing came to the door of his room. His room was unlocked. He reached out and turned the handle, looked at the note on the door saying "Do not disturb while studying" and walked in.
The main color of his room is also blue, which is the same as the tone of this two-story building. The cold color makes the surrounding air seem low and cold. This room is about 20 square meters, very spacious, and one bed is enough for sleeping. The beds for the next two people were placed in the center of the room. The headboard of the bed was against a wall. There were curtains on one side of the bed. Now the curtains were opened, revealing the bay window behind and the quiet night.
Next to the window is the desk where Ye Qin studies. There is a very simple desk lamp on the desk. Next to the desk lamp is a gray-black old-fashioned radio. It is not working at the moment.
Yu Xing stepped forward and turned on the light. The bright light illuminated more than half of the room, and then he turned his head and continued to observe.
On the other side of the bed is a large wardrobe. Like the bed, it is made of wood. Yu Xing walked to the wardrobe and had very complicated feelings about the wardrobe.
In old folk tales and old-fashioned horror stories, cabinets were very dangerous places, and many ghosts could come out of the cabinet and drag people in front of the cabinet.
Even the murder cases in urban ghost stories often involve hiding bodies in cabinets.
However, since some foreign horror games were introduced to China, hiding in a cabinet when encountering monsters has become a habit. In old Chinese stories, the very dangerous cabinet has become "cabinet father", symbolizing safety.
Judging from the current atmosphere of the times, the cabinet in this deduction should belong to the dangerous hexagram.
He stretched out his hand, grasped the raised door nail on the cabinet, and slowly pulled the cabinet open.
“Creak—” The cabinet door made a heart-wrenching sound, casting a dark shadow.
Yu Xing's eyes widened slightly.
There was nothing inside except some of his clothes, and nearly half of the place was empty, which was disturbingly empty.
He didn't expect to see anything when he opened the cabinet. He just wanted to familiarize himself with the possible hiding places in the room. After closing the cabinet door, he walked to the bed again.
This kind of wooden bed should be considered very good at this time, with fine workmanship, and the wood feels very comfortable without any thorns. But the space under the bed is also of concern to people. There are many ghosts hiding under the bed in various horror stories.
Yu Xing went down to check again. This time he found nothing, because he saw what he wanted to see under the bed.
There is a large pool of blood at the bottom of the bed. It is in the middle of the bed and cannot be easily seen from both sides. There are many **** handprints on the ground next to the blood. The handprints are blurry and it looks like someone has been struggling under the bed.
I don't know how long ago this happened, but the blood stains have not dried yet, and it is obviously not consistent with common sense of physics. Yu Xing's eyes darkened a little, and he had a little guess about the world he was in.
But this time will also be his limit. The kind of sleepiness is not under his control, just like the sudden sleepiness he felt when he was lying in the classroom of Xuechi Middle School. The sleepiness made him unable to think about other things carefully. Want sleep.
"This method of advancing the plot is really..." Yu Xingqiang found some changes of clothes in the closet, and then prepared to go to the bathroom on the second floor, "It's because the current deducers don't have any special abilities, otherwise it would just be All kinds of resistance sacrifices are enough to resist this kind of difficulty."
He yawned again and pushed the door open. At this time, Ye Ming happened to come out of the room. When Ye Ming packed up the dishes and other things downstairs and went upstairs, Yu Xing was giving Ye Ting extra lessons. I heard some movement.
Ye Ming saw the clothes in his arms and was stunned for a moment: "Do you want to take a shower first?"
"Well, I'm sleepy. I want to go to bed early today." Yu Xing saw Ye Ming's empty hands and figured he didn't just come out to compete with him for the bathroom.
"It's amazing. My brother actually wanted to go to bed before eleven o'clock today. The sun came out in the west." Ye Ming laughed. "Okay, you should have a good rest. Then I will go to the toilet first and finish you." Wash again.”
Yu Xing nodded and waited there for a while. Ye Ming had already finished solving the problem, entered the room and closed the door.
The bathroom and toilet on the second floor are integrated. The toilet area is much smaller than that on the first floor. The rest is a bathing area. Their home does not use a shower, but a bathtub. When Yu Xing walked in, there was a bathtub in front of it. The curtains were drawn tightly.
He put the clothes on the shelf next to him, glanced in the half-length mirror mounted on the wall, and saw this face that made him feel a little awkward.
His appearance has stayed at the age of twenty-three for too long. Now this teenage body is too unfamiliar to him. As soon as he took a look at it, he couldn't move his attention away.
Yu Xing walked to the mirror with interest and leaned forward to look at himself carefully. He saw that his face was still very young at this time, and there were even some traces of baby fat on his cheeks that he had never noticed before.
His hair is that of a well-behaved student, cut relatively short, exposing his eyebrows and ears. Not only is he not as tall as an adult, but the muscles on his body are also much thinner, and his figure is green and has not yet fully grown.
“Tsk, it turns out that I used to be this kind of virtuous and a weakling.” After looking at it for a while, Yu Xing finally expressed his opinion in his heart.
He was disdainful of himself like this, and even pulled his own face, and then gave himself a contemptuous look.
He didn't like himself when he was a child.
Although the real situation is different from his current image, for example, his hair was longer at that time, because in his impression, some elders still shaved half of their hair and wore long braids, which was so ugly that He couldn't bear it, so he took good care of his hair since he was a child and didn't want others to touch it. He was afraid that others would lie to him, so he took him to a barber shop to have his head shaved.
Until he went to study abroad, his hair was relatively long. Instead, he cut it short after he returned to China, but his bangs also covered his eyebrows.
Some people look really good with short hair, but because they look more feminine and are born with a strong sense of art, they know how to take care of their appearance to match their appearance without going against the grain.
They students of art have never shied away from being feminine, because they can see beauty in all forms, and they can also accept some people's more bizarre aesthetics and treat them equally.
But these are things of the past.
After entering the laboratory as an experimental subject, Yu Xing's life has never been linked to the carefree art world. As innocent and happy as he was at the beginning, he later regretted not being exposed to the dangers of the human heart earlier.
So he didn't like his old self.
In the past, he was just a weakling, with nothing but his proud artistic talent.
Facts have also proved that his artistic talent did not bring him any benefits. It only made him more tolerant of the existence of actors, which finally led to...
Irreparable fault.
The person in the mirror now reminded him of a long, long time ago, but he didn't long for those days, and even just thinking about it made him feel bored.
"Forget it, I'm so sleepy." Yu Xing ended his inspection of himself with a soliloquy. He didn't miss the image in the mirror that represented the past enough. He turned around, walked a few steps, and reached out to pull out the bathtub. curtain.
I didn't pull it open the first time.
Yu Xing paused with his hands and raised his eyes slightly.
Having just reminisced about the past, he was not in a very good mood now. At this time, something happened to come to the door to cause trouble.
It's really interesting. Did you rush here to relax him?
He increased his strength to pull the curtain, but the thing behind the curtain did not let go. The curtain was firmly fixed and did not move at all.
Yu Xing pursed his lips and put down his hand.
Seemingly aware of his relaxation, the things inside may have thought that he was scared and wanted to leave, so the curtain suddenly moved.
Immediately afterwards, the curtain was opened in an instant, and Ye Ming's blood-stained face appeared in front of Yu Xing's eyes.
Ye Ming's whole body seemed to be watered with blood. He stretched out his upper body from the bathtub naked, and then stopped moving. His hand was still holding one end of the curtain tightly. His eyes were open, and his pupils were dilated. It was obviously a corpse.
Outside the window, a huge bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the sound of thunder made Ye Ming's body even more terrifying.
Is it going to rain? Yu Xing stood there with an incomprehensible expression, making people wonder what he was thinking.
He stared straight at the motionless corpse. The corpse had opened the curtain just now, but after it was opened, the corpse stopped moving and lay quietly on the edge of the bathtub.
The blood on the corpse also gushes out from the wounds. Ye Ming's emaciated body is covered with cracks, each one merciless and the bones can be seen deeply.
No matter how you look at it, the supernatural phenomenon of throwing away the body and pulling the curtains by yourself makes this place look like the scene of a bathroom murder case.
Yu Xing came closer and carefully observed the wound. He didn't care about the possibility that the body was still "alive". He compared the size of the wound with the knives in the kitchen and said softly: "It's not a kitchen knife, not even a kitchen knife." It will leave such a wound.”
“The murder weapon was bigger and heavier, similar to an axe.”
The corpse really didn't seem to care about what he was talking about, although there were few madmen as bold as Yu Xing, who dared to be so reckless when they had no ability to protect themselves at all.
"But brother, you clearly promised me to take a shower after going to the bathroom. What's going on now that you've occupied the bathroom?" Yu Xing clearly saw Ye Ming walk out of the bathroom and return to the room, but now Ye Ming's body is And it's clearly laid out here.
Ye Ming is here, who is coming out of the bathroom?
Or perhaps these two are both Ye Ming, so Ye Ming himself... cannot be "Ye Ming".
Yu Xing found that his sleepiness dissipated a lot after seeing the corpse. This was also in line with the emotions of normal people after seeing the corpse. He said to the corpse: "Okay, I have seen it. Now please leave. , I'm going to take a shower.”
After saying that, Yu Xing pressed the corpse's hand without hesitation, opened the rigor mortis fingers that were holding it on the curtain one by one, and then decisively closed the curtain to block all this.
