Chapter 59: The House of Evil
The sky was dark and gloomy.
The dark clouds, as black as thick ink, pressed down heavily.
The howling wind kept blowing, the leaves on the trees rustled, there were almost no pedestrians on the road, and the birds had all hidden themselves.
Boom!
A flash of thunder passed by.
The loud noise suddenly woke Wu Xian up.
Wu Xian opened his eyes.
I found that this was a residential area. I lay on the bench like a homeless person. This residential area looked familiar.
Wu Xian may have been here, or he may not have been here.
Because the residential areas in this world all look pretty much the same.
At the other end of the bench, there was a radio left by someone unknown. The radio was playing a piece of news, a warning from Xianwei City Radio Station to the general public.
"There have been a lot of home invasions and murders in recent days. Please be vigilant and don't let strangers into your home at will."
Wu Xian sat up and turned off the recorder.
It seems that this burglary and murder case has had a great impact on the blessed land.
He looked up at the sky and shuddered.
"It's going to rain soon... maybe even hail."
Wu Xian didn't know how long he had been lying here.
But he was wearing very thin clothes, so he was very cold and his body temperature had already been lost. If he was caught in heavy rain again, he might suffer from hypothermia and a severe cold.
This had a fatal impact on his actions in the blessed land.
Wu Xian looked around and soon found a house nearby. There was a warm light on. Through the window, he could see someone busy inside.
So he walked to the nearest house and rang the doorbell.
The door opened a crack.
Warm light and heat came through the crack in the door, and a woman with her hair combed to the side looked at Wu Xian warily.
"who are you?"
Wu Xian rubbed his arms and shivered as he said, "I'm so cold, it's going to rain heavily soon, can I take shelter at your house?"
Hear Wu Xian's request.
The woman looked hesitant. There had been a lot of home invasions and murders lately, and she didn't want to take the risk of letting a stranger like Wu Xian into her house.
Wu Xian looked through the crack in the door and saw that the TV in the room was playing a press conference of the Investigation Bureau, so he took out his inspector's ID and showed it to the woman.
"You don't have to worry about me being a murderer."
"The heroic detective who caught the murderer and was praised in the news is me!"
The woman was skeptical.
He went back to the room and watched the news. After several comparisons, he finally confirmed Wu Xianle's identity.
"Come in, I'm really sorry for doubting you just now. After all, the world is very unsafe now."
The woman welcomed Wu Xian into the house and asked him to sit on the sofa. Wu Xian finally recovered from the coldness in his body.
This is a small building with one household.
The area of the small building is not too large, and the decoration inside the house is simple but very thoughtful. The layout looks somewhat familiar to Wu Xian, but this world is so monotonous that it is very normal for the room layout to be similar.
In this cozy little home, four people are busy.
The hostess and an old woman were cooking in the kitchen, while the old man and a girl were decorating the room, hanging colorful flags and lights everywhere.
There was a four-layer cream cake in the middle of the dining table. It looked like they were preparing a birthday party.
Wu Xian sat on the warm sofa.
The body temperature gradually returned to normal.
The biggest problem he faces now is the loss of memory.
After some tests, Wu Xian confirmed that his memory in reality was intact. However, his memory after entering the blessed land had begun to become a little fuzzy. He could no longer fully recall the details of the first mental assessment and some things that happened when he returned home.
So how do we preserve the memory?
While thinking.
The hostess brought a stainless steel tray and placed it on the coffee table.
There was a teapot, a teacup, and a small snack on the plate.
She smiled gently at Wu Xian.
"I saw you earlier. You've been lying outside for a long time. You must be cold and hungry now. Would you like a cup of tea to warm yourself up first?"
After saying that, she left, covering her mouth, as if she had a toothache.
Wu Xian really wanted to drink something hot.
But when the woman smiled just now, Wu Xian clearly saw a crack appear at the corner of her mouth...
"lady!"
Wu Xian suddenly shouted.
The woman turned her head quickly, but because she turned her head too quickly, only her head turned around, and a trickle of blood burst out from her neck. Her body turned slowly and then closed up perfectly.
"Inspector, do you have anything else to ask for?"
Wu Xian had already started cursing in his heart.
I just randomly found a family, how come I encountered evil spirits again?
But he was very polite.
"I think it's time for me to leave. I can't cause you any trouble."
"You don't want your husband to know that you entertain strange men at home."
Wu Xian felt that the reason he found was great.
So he picked up his clothes, stood up and was about to leave. Although he still had eight chances to use the Flying Blade Spell, he did not want to fall into an inexplicable evil crisis for the time being.
"Uncle, you can stay here without worry. My dad would be mad at my mom if he knew she kicked a heroic inspector out of the house on a rainy day!"
Wu Xian turned his head.
He saw a girl with a bright smile greeting him.
She was putting up colorful flags on the stairs. After hearing the conversation between the two, she tried to keep Wu Xian. After that, she went upstairs. But Wu Xian saw clearly that she didn't take any steps when she went upstairs, but moved sideways in a strange way!
She is evil too!
This family is full of evil!
But Wu Xian had no reason to refuse. Forcibly going against the wishes of these two people might lead to bad things happening.
Wu Xian's sitting posture on the sofa changed from relaxed to stiff. What was happening in front of him made him feel very strange, and he also felt a sense of familiarity, so he was very nervous.
The nervousness made his mouth dry.
The hostess seemed to see Wu Xian's predicament, so she spoke to him in an understanding manner.
"Please try our tea. It is all top-quality tea. It was given to me by one of my husband's patients. The patient is from Miaojiang, and the tea from there is not available here."
"Tea from Miaojiang..."
The corner of Wu Xian's mouth twitched, and he could only grit his teeth and pour a cup of tea under the gaze of the hostess.
The tea is emerald green, the tea soup is clear, and the tea aroma is rich...
It's a good cup of tea.
But Wu Xian was very curious about what shape the tea leaves were. He opened the teapot, looked down, and his expression froze again.
I saw more than a dozen green millipedes in the filter of the teapot!
These insects were still alive, twisting and turning in the boiling water. When they found that the lid of the kettle was open, they started crawling around with their claws and fangs bared. Wu Xian quickly put the lid back on.
This kind of thing...
How can I swallow it?
Wu Xian stared at the cup of tea for a long time without moving. As he stopped moving, heavy footsteps were heard behind him.
