“Aaaaaah!!!” Wang screamed in agony, her head cleaved in half.

　　Fresh blood splattered onto the white snow, creating wisps of white smoke.

　　Her vomiting stopped, she slowly slumped to the ground, her expression still frozen in pain.

　　"Haha, haha, she's dead." Cheng let out a satisfied smile.

　　 He kicked Wang's body, still chuckling, "Haha, we're going to live."

　　No one spoke, the remaining four people watched the horrifying scene in silence.

　　The hair Wang had vomited out gradually faded and disappeared.

　　Her eyes remained wide open, as if she couldn't understand why she had died in such a way.

　　"Haha, haha." Cheng loosened his grip, the blood-stained iron shovel fell to the ground.

　　He looked around, seeing fear and disgust in their expressions.

　　"What are you all looking at me for? I saved you!"

　　"Shhh shhh…"

　　Just as the atmosphere froze, the sound of rustling in the snow broke the silence.

　　Lin turned, clearly hearing the strange sound coming from the mountains—as if something was dragging itself across the ground towards them.

　　"What sound is that?" Lin felt a bad premonition, "Let's go!"

　　"Yeah." Chi's face changed slightly, no longer concerned about Cheng, who had killed Wang.

　　Lin and he, in tacit understanding, grabbed the rope and ran towards home.

　　This time, everyone ran with all their might, but the soft snow and heavy clothes hindered their progress.

　　 Lin panted heavily, not daring to stop.

　　He could clearly hear the sound getting closer.

　　Cheng also ran along, leading the way. He was the first to reach the residence.

　　"Cheng, quickly open the door!" Chi yelled in a panic.

　　Cheng frantically opened the door.

　　Normally, he would immediately rush inside, but for some unknown reason, he saw something within the door.

　　He grabbed his iron shovel and began wildly slashing at the air, continuously yelling, "There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"

　　Lin initially thought he was having a breakdown, but upon closer observation, he was startled to find that Cheng really had a problem.

　　His shadow, illuminated by the moonlight, had split into two.

　　One was his own, while the other was a long-haired woman.

　　The woman reached out her hand, pulling Cheng.

　　The two shadows stood side by side on the ground, seemingly separated from Cheng.

　　"There's a ghost!! There's a ghost!!" Cheng screamed miserably.

　　His fear was about to break his last nerve.

　　In the end, Lin couldn't stand it anymore, he gave him a chop to the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious before he could continue his howling.

　　"Hurry inside!!!" Ruan yelled from inside, "It's coming!"

　　Lin and Chi worked together, one carrying the corpse, the other carrying the unconscious Cheng, just managing to carry both inside before the sharp rustling reached the door.

　　"Bang, bang, bang." Someone knocked on the door.

　　The four people left inside were all panting, none responded.

　　"Bang, bang, bang." The knocking continued.

　　Sensing they wouldn't open, a woman's voice rang out, "Open the door. I'm so hungry. Give me something to eat."

　　Upon hearing the word "hungry", Lin immediately thought of the evil god mentioned by the carpenter.

　　"I'm so hungry." The woman murmured, her voice getting louder, "Please, give me something to eat."

　　"Shit." Xiao suddenly cursed, "Look at the wall!"

　　Upon hearing this, Lin looked towards the wall and saw a half-emerging head and a pair of black eyes on top of it.

　　The courtyard wall was at least 2 meters high, normal humans could not stick their head out from behind it.

　　"I'm so hungry." The black eyes slowly moved, noticing them standing in the courtyard, "I'm so hungry. If you don't give me food, I'll have to find it myself."

　　"What do we do?" Lin's mouth went dry.

　　Ruan said, "Let's go, don't mind her, let's throw the body down the well first."

　　"Okay." Lin agreed with Ruan and along with Chi, he carried the body toward the well.

　　Ruan stayed by their side, even daring to look down into the well.

　　"Throw it." Ruan said.

　　Lin and Chi let go at the same time.

　　 The mutilated body slid down the well, but for a long time, they couldn't hear it landing.

　　However, even though they didn't hear it land, other sounds soon came from within the well... an unpleasant chewing sound.

　　"So delicious." The woman outside the wall suddenly said, "So delicious..."

　　Lin took a deep breath of relief.
