The Villa

7.Blood's Silence

　　The shrill scream lasted only a short time before it completely subsided.

　　Ning was the first to rush upstairs, followed by Liu and the others.

　　But as they stepped onto the second floor, they suddenly stopped.

　　A look of shock and disbelief appeared on everyone's faces.

　　"No, it can't be..."

　　Beidou's voice trembled, and his legs shook.

　　In front of them, the bloodstains that had been splattered on the floor... had completely disappeared, not even a single speck of blood could be seen!

　　It was as if... everything that happened this morning was a figment of their imagination!

　　"Look!"

　　Just then, Yan let out a sharp cry, pointing to the room at the end of the corridor.

　　Everyone looked over and saw that a large amount of scarlet blood was slowly seeping out from the doorway, extending all the way to the corridor outside...

　　The wind blew in from the open louvered window at the end, carrying a sickening smell of blood!

　　"Damn..."

　　Liu managed to spit out two words from his mouth, and his hair stood on end.

　　The others looked no better.

　　Ning stared at the louvered window, his eyebrows furrowed.

　　He distinctly remembered that when he went up to check Wang's body this morning, he closed that window and locked it.

　　No matter how strong the wind was outside, it was absolutely impossible to open that window.

　　Moreover, the lock could only be opened from the inside.

　　After coming down from the second floor, Ning had been staring at the door to the old woman's room, and she had never come out, so it was impossible for her to have opened the window.

　　At that time, they were all searching for Yamo on the first floor, so it was impossible for any of them to have opened that window.

　　If that was the case... who opened that window?

　　Could it be...

　　Wang, who was already dead?

　　The thought flashed through his mind, and Ning felt his hair stand on end.

　　But unlike the others, he didn't shrink back in fear, instead, he... took a step forward, walking towards the door that was constantly seeping blood.

　　Seeing Ning's action, the people behind him opened their mouths, not knowing what to say...

　　Damn...

　　Why was this guy named Ning so bold?

　　Wasn't he afraid of... something behind that door?

　　"Ning, are you crazy?"

　　Beidou shouted, but Ning completely ignored him and continued walking towards the louvered window at the end of the corridor.

　　Suddenly, another person squeezed out from the crowd.

　　It was Liu.

　　He ran to catch up with Ning.

　　"Brother, wait for me..."
