Could it be the girl who was abused?" The innocent woman analyzed, "The girl died after being abused and her grievances were not digested and turned into a severe ghost, and it was her who killed the middle-aged man in the early morning."

So far, the innocent woman's analysis seemed reasonable.

"That could be the case, but we still need some evidence," the burly man who had emerged from the bathroom was much weaker, and one could even see the thin cold sweat on his forehead.

It was clear to Aoiz that he wasn't as calm as he looked.

"Let's go eat first," someone suggested.

The matter of cooking was left to Fatty alone, and the innocent woman went to help wash the vegetables.

It didn't take long for a fragrant meal to be ready, and even in such circumstances everyone finished it without a single bit left, so you can imagine Fatty's skill.

"You're the cook?" The strong man took a sip of the hot soup, and with it, he looked at the fat man's big face much more smoothly.

"No," the fat man scratched his head, embarrassed, "just running around and doing all sorts of jobs, so I know a bit of everything."

"What do you all do? It's fate that we're all gathered here," the burly man put down his bowl and his gaze softened, "My name is Fan, I'm a bodyguard."

"I ...... My name is Xi and I work for an insurance company," the male clerk whispered.

"My name is Una, I'm studying at university, majoring in law," the innocent woman introduced herself.

It was the woman with the mole on her lip's turn, and I thought she would be dismissive, but a slow voice rang out, "You can just call me Nan, I'm older than all of you, professional ......" She smiled cryptically, "I sell goods."

The woman's aura was not that of an ordinary trader, and there was a lot to be said for what she meant by "goods".

But no one dwelt on this question, they all looked at Aoiz, who was even more curious than the woman who called herself Nan.

Aoiz straightened his upper body and said with a straight face, "My name is leo, I'm a male model."

"You're a model?" The innocent woman looked like she didn't quite believe it, "Is it in a film and television company?"

Aoiz slowly turned his head and glanced at her with a seemingly deep look, "I work the night shift at a KTV."

Everyone stared at him with an astonished look, but no one commented, everyone had the right to choose their own profession, not to mention that they felt Jiang Cheng really had the physical conditions for it too.

Daylight seemed to be extraordinarily short in this world they were in, and after a few more conversations, it actually got dark again.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

The strong man went to the window and looked out, then walked back and said, "It's not that it's going to rain, it's that it's really dark."

Just as he had said, half an hour later, night fell again.

The men sat around the fireplace in the living room, roasting and analysing all the clues they had so far.

To be on the safe side, they had moved some of the firewood from the storehouse into the living room during the day, so that they wouldn't have to wait until the night to get it after they ran out.

The fat man was sitting closest to the firewood and was throwing one in now and then.

The fire was burning very brightly, turning everyone's faces red.

Xi was still clinging to her earlier belief that it was the other members of the family who had mistreated the girl, ultimately leading to her tragic death, and that the ghost in this cottage was the girl of the family of four.

She seems to have an obsession with this viewpoint, and her emotions become agitated every time she talks about it, a far cry from her previous gentle appearance.

Thinking of the fact that she was studying law, Aoiz thought that this might be a girl with a story.

After a few rounds of discussion there was nothing new, instead someone yawned, it seemed that Aoiz was not the only one who did not sleep well last night.

Fan stood up, moved his slightly numb legs and suggested, "Let's go to bed first."

His proposal was quickly responded to.

Since the middle-aged man had died on the ground floor for no apparent reason, everyone decided to sleep on the first floor tonight.

Xi whispered that could we all stay together so that it would be safe, but the words were denied by Nan before she could say anything, saying that maybe we would miss something.

Xis eyes widened in fear, but in the end no one asked Nuan what she meant by what she said.

That said, there was a tacit agreement to avoid the bedroom where the girl lived.

The intention was to split into two groups, one sleeping in the boys' bedroom and one in the master bedroom.

Nan and Xi, both women, naturally had to live together, and they chose the first floor master bedroom, the one where the men and women lived, where they slept last night.

Fatty insisted on sharing a room with Aoiz, so Aoiz and Fatty went into the boy's bedroom together.

Next came Fan and Xi, who both wanted to stay in Nan's room, as they were more experienced and had a better chance of surviving with them.

In the end, Nan and Xi chose Fan , and the three of them closed the door after they entered the room.

Only the lone Xie Yu was left in the corridor.

A gloomy wind blew in, making him unconsciously hug himself tighter and goose bumps exploded on his arms.

He jogged all the way to the door of the bedroom where Aoiz was and knocked quickly on the door.

Bang, bang, bang!

"It's me, open the door!"

Aoiz slowly checked the room while replying carelessly, "Didn't you have to throw me into the bathroom alone before? Go live next door yourself."

Xi stared at the door next door that had been left with a gap in it, the door trembling gently with the breeze, like something was about to come rushing out the next moment.

It was the girl's bedroom.

Xi was so frightened that she turned around and begged with a sobbing voice, "I'm sorry, I was wrong! I shouldn't have said that, please forgive me!"

After checking the room all over, Aoiz sat down reassuringly, casually unscrewed a new bottle of mineral water, took a shallow sip and asked frivolously at the door, "What did you call me?"

"leo! leo!"

Aoiz narrowed his eyes comfortably.

"leo! leo!"

Fatty: "......"

"Phew-" Aoiz exhaled in satisfaction, then waved his hand, signalling the fatty behind the door to open it.

As soon as the door opened, Xi scurried in like a gust of wind, and then closed the door with a bang.

After what had just happened, Xi didn't dare to breathe a word, so he huddled in the corner of the bedroom, afraid of annoying Aoiz and throwing him out.

"You," Aoiz raised his chin and turned to Xi, "go sleep in the bed."

"Me, sleep on the bed?" Xi showed an incredulous expression.

This was a single bedroom and the bed was an ordinary single bed, which meant that only one of the three of them could sleep on the bed.

The other two would either hit the floor or squeeze the sofa.
