Calm down, calm down. She had to stay calm.
Xia Xiaoyu forced herself to suppress the urge to escape at that moment, but when she glanced at the door, it was already locked by Wood. As a woman alone, there was no way for her to get out. Noticing that Big Man and the old man had not shifted their gaze toward her, Xia Xiaoyu quietly pulled out her phone from her bag.
Fortunately, she had set her phone to silent mode. She extended the phone under the table, trying to conceal the light from the screen. Knowing her phone's capabilities well, she found Xu Qian's number and dialed it.
"Come on..."
Big Man glanced sideways into the room again.
But in that instant, Xia Xiaoyu felt every hair on her body stand on end as fear spread throughout her being.
Because Big Man's eyes shifted back toward her, and they rolled back completely; he was no longer human.
"Hehe, you noticed..."
The man saw the terrified expression on Xia Xiaoyu's face and said with an evil smile, "People in the city are so clever."
At that moment, Xia Xiaoyu saw that her phone was already connected. She could no longer care about anything else and shouted into the phone, "Qingshui Village, come save me..."
"Smack..."
The phone was knocked to the ground by the hand of the Big Man, and Xia Xiaoyu was filled with dread. The facts were now laid bare; everything that had happened to her throughout the night had been off from the start. First, she had inexplicably wandered onto a fork in the road, then got lost in the woods, and finally ended up on a dirt path. After being terrified in the forest, when she saw someone coming, she suddenly overlooked many things.
For instance, when she came down from the hillside, she hadn’t felt anything at all. Moreover, in the car, she felt extremely cold, not because of the weather, but because the man beside her was not human at all.
Additionally, when entering this bungalow, Uncle Wang had come out wearing a thick gray outfit. Who wears work clothes while sleeping? The sounds coming from inside the house also puzzled Xia Xiaoyu. It was strange how someone could move so gracefully and rhythmically in the dark. This was not a common phenomenon.
When Xia Xiaoyu looked up, she saw that the Big Man's face had turned deathly pale. Looking at her own clothes, they were tattered and resembled a shroud worn by the dead.
“Dinner is ready,” came a shaky voice from the doorway. An old woman bent over slowly walked out. She looked frail and unsteady; however, Hunan's Candle did not cast her shadow.
She had no shadow?
Her voice trembled as she approached the table and set down a tray...
Xia Xiaoyu was completely filled with cold dread; she felt as if her body was frozen and unable to move.
Had she entered a Haunted House where everyone inside was a ghost?
On the tray lay several pieces of moldy rotten meat along with some moldy rice. The Big Man lunged at it like a starving ghost and began stuffing the rotten meat into his mouth...
Xia Xiaoyu felt her stomach churn violently; her throat felt tight as if she might vomit. But now, she couldn’t make any movements; all she could do was pray that Xu Qian would arrive soon; otherwise, today might be her last.
“Do you know Wang Xiaojia?”
Xia Xiaoyu looked up and happened to see the old woman's face. She had seen Wang Xiaojia before, so when she looked too closely, despite the old woman appearing most human-like, her dead eyes still sent a chill down Xia Xiaoyu's spine.
