Chapter 19 Exchange Rooms
The person who screamed was Su Huijin.
She slumped down at the door of Room 405, covering her mouth with her hands, her face pale with fear.
Qi Zhiyong asked angrily, "What happened again?"
"The body... the body is gone!"
Everyone was shocked and ran over quickly.
There were two bodies in Room 405, one was Lu Yuzhu who had turned into a statue, and the other was Fang Zhi who had no head.
The survivors were worried about causing unnecessary trouble, so they did not transport the bodies away, but temporarily stored them in 405.
But now both bodies are missing.
The ground was covered with blood and clothing fragments. The cement statue was completely smashed open, and only some broken bones were left of Lu Yuzhu's body. Fang Zhi was in a similar condition.
It was obvious that both bodies had been eaten.
Everyone felt a little dry in the mouth.
The door-breaking ghost, the door-knocking ghost, and the children's ghost that appeared last night are not enough, and now a creature that eats corpses has appeared. How can they feel at ease?
Wu Xian twitched his lips and said, "Look at it from a positive perspective. At least we don't have to worry about these two corpses rotting and causing a plague."
His comfort did not make everyone relax, but instead cast a gloom over everyone.
Among the crowd, Wen Chao was the calmest.
He walked to Yue Mei's door and restored the door just as Wu Xian had done yesterday.
"Come and take a look. There are traces of cement palm prints on it, but it has been wiped off. I'm afraid..."
Su Huilan suddenly realized.
"It's Yue Mei!"
"I remember now. I heard some noise outside yesterday morning. Yue Mei must have discovered that she was marked, so she erased her mark. Otherwise, why wouldn't she dare to come back and stay here at night?"
After her reminder, everyone remembered Yue Mei's various abnormal behaviors yesterday morning, which was indeed worthy of suspicion.
Qi Zhiyong seemed to be thinking about something.
"Since she was the one who was marked yesterday, then my palm print is..."
Wu Xian's heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't let him come to his senses, so he immediately interrupted, "Do you remember the first morning?"
On the first morning, there was a palm print in front of Lu Yuzhu's door, and there was also a palm print on Fang Zhi's door.
Shi Ji's eyes widened, and he clapped his hands fiercely: "I understand, two palm prints can exist at the same time, and the order of the big evil spirit's attack is based on the order in which the palm prints were placed!"
Qi Zhiyong's expression, which had originally been somewhat relaxed, became tense again.
If that was the case, then he would definitely be the one attacked tonight. He had been on guard the entire night, and his courage and awareness had been reduced by half. He didn't want to wait any longer for a duel with Da Sui.
Su Huijin raised her hand.
"Well... maybe we don't need to think so complicatedly. Since the Great Demon will only attack the marked rooms, then as long as we all live in the unmarked rooms, won't everyone be safe?"
Qi Zhiyong nodded: "That makes sense, then I'll move to another place tonight!"
He glanced at the remaining rooms. So far, there were five rooms that had not been destroyed by the evil spirit.
From Qi Zhiyong's perspective, his 402 and Shi Ji's 403 had both been marked, so the only safe rooms left were Wu Xian's 406, Wen Chao's 401, and the Su sisters' 404.
The Su Huilan sisters looked at Qi Zhiyong with their big, bright eyes. They came up with this idea because they wanted Qi Zhiyong to live with them.
Su Huijin looked at Qi Zhiyong and said, "You can stay with us tonight. We are not worried that you will behave like a hooligan."
"Several little devils broke into our room yesterday. If we didn't have a man to give us courage, we might have been scared to death by ourselves."
Su Huijin's face was flushed, her voice was soft and cute, and the subtext in her words was very obvious.
Qi Zhiyong refused without hesitation.
"Men and women should not touch each other, forget it."
Qi Zhiyong has never been a gentleman. If the Su sisters are really what they appear to be, Qi Zhiyong doesn't mind living there. Not to mention that the sisters are really good-looking, if something really happens, he can let the Su sisters be scapegoats. But the problem is.
The waters between these two sisters are very deep!
He Qiong, who was suspected to be a follower, died, so why did they survive? A little kid sneaked into the house last night, so why didn’t they have a single bruise on their bodies?
A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea...
Then he looked at Wen Chao.
Wen Chao shook his head and refused: "You'd better not live with me..."
Wen Chao's room was filled with clutter and there was no place to even stand. It was horrible that the room was turned into this state in just two or three days.
So, the only option left was Wu Xian's room.
"Give me your room. You can live in my room, or go and give courage to the Su sisters, or go and accompany Mr. Wen or Shi Ji."
It's said to be a discussion, but in fact it's an order.
Qi Zhiyong had already offended Wu Xian so much that he would not share a room with Wu Xian, so he forcibly took Wu Xian's key and threw the key to his own room to Wu Xian.
Everyone frowned when watching this scene.
But no one stood up for Wu Xian. Over the past few days, everyone tacitly accepted that Wu Xian was Qi Zhiyong's punching bag.
During this period, Wu Xian refused twice, but was ignored by Qi Zhiyong both times. His eyes turned red with anger and his lips trembled constantly, but he finally endured it and went into the room to pack his things.
Shi Ji looked at Wu Xian who was quietly packing up his things, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart: "This BYD's acting is really good."
Wu Xian held his luggage and first looked eagerly at the Su sisters, but was only met with two pairs of contempt. Wen Chao also refused to allow anyone to live with him.
So Wu Xian could only find Shi Ji.
"Don't talk nonsense, let me move in, I'll protect you."
Shi Ji held Wu Xian's arm, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Boss, welcome!"
Through yesterday's cooperation, Shi Ji realized that Wu Xian was not a simple person. He wanted to ask Wu Xian for something, but he didn't expect Wu Xian to come to him.
It seems that the room change has been decided.
Everyone dispersed and went to search nearby for supplies and statues.
At this point, Qi Zhiyong's initial cover-up has completely failed. Even Shi Ji knows the importance of the statue, not to mention Fudan Professor Wen Chao and others who have known about the statue for a long time.
Seeing that everyone had left, Shi Ji also hurriedly wanted to rush outside.
After worshiping the gods yesterday, his body began to feel strange, and he barely managed to save his life by spreading filth in the room. This problem must be solved today.
But Wu Xian held him back.
"Wait a minute, let's move first. We'll stay in Qi Zhiyong's room 402 tonight."
Shi Ji was stunned: "Why?"
Wu Xian chuckled: "Because the room that will be attacked tonight is your room."
He told Shi Ji about the experience of rubbing and drawing his palm prints. Shi Ji gradually opened his mouth and looked at Wu Xian with a bit of horror.
"Also, I need your help with something else."
"what's up?"
Wu Xian took out two pieces of wire and a screwdriver.
"Now that there's no one up there, let's go and change the door between your room and mine. I also want to verify whether it's the room or the door that's marked."
Shi Ji opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
