2385: You, Must Die Too! 2385: You, Must Die Too! “This…”
Gu Yiran stood frozen in place, a cold sweat running down his smooth forehead.
Lin Yi’s expression was equally serious; he had anticipated many different scenarios.
Clearly, the scene before him was not one he had predicted.
On the ground lay an old quilt, upon which two snow-white foxes were crouched.
Upon seeing someone enter, they immediately stood up, warily fixing their gaze on Lin Yi and Gu Yiran.
But beside them, scattered haphazardly, lay the corpses of many animals.
There were the most common chickens, ducks, geese, and even cats and dogs.
Their bodies were covered in blood, some even rotting away, emitting a foul and pungent odor.
In addition, on the walls hung many pieces of white paper and yellow cloth with inscrutable drawings on them.
There was nothing particularly special about the kitchen; the items before them were all there was.
Lin Yi cautiously looked around, finding nothing further to investigate, and then gestured with a wave of his hand, quietly retreating with Gu Yiran.
Upon exiting the room, Gu Yiran heaved a deep sigh of relief.
It was as though the dilapidated door behind them was guarding the gates of hell.
“Let’s go. It looks like there’s nothing in their home.”
“Yes.”
Gu Yiran’s mood lightened quite a bit, following behind Lin Yi as they walked out.
Pushing open the old door and seeing the sunlight once again cast upon them, Gu Yiran felt as if he had passed into another world.
“Old Lady, we’re done looking and ready to leave. Living alone here, you should take care of yourself.”
Lin Yi didn’t want to stay any longer in this ghastly place and was preparing to leave.
The old lady nodded.
The two turned and went on their way.
But at that moment, the old lady’s hoarse voice rang out behind them.
“You didn’t go to the kitchen, did you?”
“No,” Lin Yi answered with a smile.
“You’re lying!”
Suddenly, the old lady’s voice turned sharp again.
“You did go! They’ve already told me.”
Hiss—
Gu Yiran’s skin crawled, and he felt goosebumps all over again.
Lin Yi looked at the old lady, his gaze fixed on her sunken, hollow eyes.
As their eyes met, the intense pressure surrounding Lin Yi also dissipated at that moment.
The old lady, however, showed no fear and even revealed a chilling smile!
“Hehehe…”
The old lady started laughing, her laughter eerily indescribable.
“Good that you looked, good that you looked… Now you’ll have enough to eat… after eating your fill…”
The old lady’s gaze turned even more intense,
Deeply staring at Lin Yi and Gu Yiran.
“They are all going to die!”
Under the bright light of day, the old lady’s words seemed to blanket the sky with dark clouds, enveloping everything with gloom and eeriness!
“Let’s go, don’t bother with her anymore.”
At this point, Gu Yiran didn’t even want to maintain the most basic of courtesies.
Dragging Lin Yi with him, they left the old lady’s house.
Once back on the village’s concrete road, Gu Yiran finally felt a huge relief.
“The old lady really is…”
“Indescribable, right?” Lin Yi said with a smile.
Gu Yiran nodded. “You’d think she has mental issues, but she can communicate normally. If you say she’s normal, however, the things she says and does are all so nonsensical.”
“So, she must be healthy,” Lin Yi confidently stated:
“Her eyes were not at all confused. The only reason she rambles on is simply that she wants to.”
“So, do you suspect that she might be the murderer?”
