call--
Seemingly aware that they had been discovered, the previously mild cold wind suddenly blew the curtains high, and the streetlights outside slowly illuminated some corners.
At the same time, a strip-shaped object appeared and disappeared in the darkness outside the window, like a venomous snake poised to strike.
The window is open.
But Yu Shijiu clearly remembered that he had made sure the window was locked before going to sleep.
Yes, lock it.
The thought that he might be targeted by some unseen monster made Yu Shijiu's calm heart start racing, but he still stared intently at the wide-open window and silently moved closer to the door step by step.
What are those things outside the window that look tangled together?
"????!!"
The players watching from outside the screen also felt their hearts tighten. Having seen the unusual flowers before, they had almost a god's-eye view and could completely guess what was outside the window.
"Holy crap! Yu Shijiu still dares to go up and look? Is he looking for death?"
One player whispered, "That's obviously a distorted rose..."
Actually, the villa's yard wasn't just planted with roses; there were also some delicate and elegant flowers, but they were all red, and from a distance, they looked no different from the large groves of roses.
"He doesn't know," one player rolled their eyes.
"Besides, what else can you do in this situation but keep moving forward? Do you really want to open the door and go out?"
The player who had spoken earlier fell silent.
He simply stared at the boy silently approaching the window on the screen, and gritted his teeth with a hint of disdain.
He thought Yu Shijiu was the strongest attacking newbie player, but in his opinion, she was just strong but brainless. She dared to charge in without knowing what was in the darkness—what else could it be but stupidity? Those who idolize Yu Shijiu are also out of their minds.
As the players silently complained, the boy on the screen gradually approached the window.
Yu Shijiu stared at the window so close to her face, and could even feel the cold wind blowing on her face.
A cold wind was blowing.
Outside the window, those things that looked like lurking venomous snakes swayed slightly in the wind, occasionally making a rustling sound.
Rustling?
Yu Shijiu blinked, and after getting closer, he could see what was outside the window clearly with the help of the streetlight's glow.
They were some extremely vibrant red roses.
The petals are full and round, and there are even some tiny, transparent water droplets in the stamen, which are lightly sprinkled in and drip into the center of the stamen little by little, following the veins of the petals.
When the slightly familiar floral scent wafted into her nostrils, Yu Shijiu's eyes curved into a slight smile.
"It's a flower."
Yu Shijiu climbed onto the bed near the window without a care in the world, quietly observing the roses that had grown to the edge of the window. He marveled several times at the unusual height of the roses' sound and the thickness of their roots.
"She's so beautiful."
The rose, swaying in the cold wind: "..."
The players watching the live stream outside the screen, holding their breath: "..."
Damn it! No! This bizarre time and place! This plant's completely abnormal growth! Is this the time to appreciate whether roses are pretty or not?!
Completely unaware that she was being teased, Yu Shijiu leaned against the window and sneezed slightly, then wrinkled her nose after letting out a soft "ha!"
"Are you getting a cold from being so cold...?"
Yu Shijiu muttered something, then turned around and slammed the window that had just been "blown open by the wind" shut again, and then "casually" pulled the window lock, which should have been locked tightly, down several times.
call--
The cold wind blew against the windowpane, making it rattle and creak.
Yu Shijiu leaned against the window, gazing at the vibrant rose petals that clung tightly to the glass after the window was closed, and blinked his large amber eyes.
"I'll take a good look at you all when it's light tomorrow."
Yu Shijiu said reluctantly, then pulled the curtain that had been blown to one side by the wind.
swipe-
The rose petals outside the window, their petals crushed by the glass: "..."
After the curtains were drawn, the smile on Yu Shijiu's face gradually disappeared.
He's not a fool.
When I came to the villa this afternoon, the roses in the yard looked so ordinary, but now, late at night, they've suddenly become so beautiful and their stems are so tall... I ask you, in reality, which rose can grow as tall as a two-story building?
Even mutants couldn't grow that tall.
The wind outside the window continued to howl, but Yu Shijiu no longer paid attention to the strangely growing roses outside the window.
On the first day, those "roses" were probably just a test.
Yu Shijiu approached the door again, and just as he was about to open it, he suddenly heard a chilling cry in the now-silent corridor.
It came from the direction of the corner of the corridor.
Waaaa, waaa, waaa...
Woohoo...
The sobs grew longer and longer, the woman's shrill, chilling cries echoing down the corridor, seemingly a cry for help, yet also a silent, painful outpouring of emotions...
Yu Shijiu hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached the peephole on the door—
Yu Shijiu's breath hitched.
There was an eyeball with bloodshot whites pasted on the peephole that should have allowed people to see out into the corridor.
The eyeball trembled spasmodically, and the blood vessels around it burst open little by little, bleeding out like a flood about to break its dam, tearing apart the already precarious white of the eye.
brush--
Blood and tears dripped from the other person's eyelids, and the owner of that eye made a gurgling laugh.
"Ha...haha...haha...hahaha..."
It was the woman who started crying at the beginning.
Yu Shijiu quietly moved aside, somewhat bewildered as to how the other person had suddenly teleported to her door.
Wasn't it just around the corner in the hallway? How did it suddenly end up stuck to my bedroom door?
and many more.
Yu Shijiu's heart skipped a beat.
He stared at the still pitch-black cat's eye in front of him, feeling something flash through his mind in a flash.
Who said the other party was a newcomer?
Is it possible that the other person has actually been standing by the door for a very, very long time...?
It could be when the first scream is uttered, or it could be during the time after the scream stops...
Yu Shijiu's back was covered in cold sweat from physiological fear, but his pale face involuntarily turned into a smile.
Wow, this is the first time someone—no, a monster—has chosen me to scare me.
What a pleasant surprise!
Okay, I like it.
In the darkness, Yu Shijiu gripped the doorknob and turned it slowly.
The door lock made a creaking sound.
Just as Yu Shijiu was about to turn the knob, the door next to him suddenly made a hurried sound as it was pulled open.
Yu Shijiu: "?"
Who? Who stole his chance to open the door first?
