Chapter 68 - Knocking on the Door (1/2)

The room door was open allowing the wind coming from outside the window to blow onto their faces.

Su Min looked at Shi Nansheng from the side and finally confirmed that he had really died just like that.

But the posture of the corpse looked a little strange.

Unless he struggled extremely intensely and exerted all the energy that he could, it was difficult imaging the legs becoming so twisted because of the hand and mouth.

Su Min recalled the sounds he heard before they entered the room.

It started with a scream and then it was followed by bones creaking. Thinking about it now, he had probably shoved his hand inside his mouth later.

Yan Jing Cai couldn’t see much. He walked quickly over to the bed and both fearfully and carefully checked the corpse. He finally managed to find his own voice: “Did he eat his own hands?”

With both hands in his mouth, no matter how big his mouth was, it naturally wouldn’t be able to fit so his mouth had ripped open.

Like a clown at a circus, the torn edges of his mouth were still bleeding.

His hands were also in a terrible state. Most of it had been crushed by his mouth and the broken bones had scattered across the sheets, mixing together with the blood.

Xu Yixiang walked over, “This……can we call an ambulance over?”

They couldn’t even call the police. They clearly should be able to call the police even when there are no signal but for some reason it couldn’t connect here.

Yan Jing Cai said: “It won’t connect.”

Although he said that, he still picked up his phone to call 120. As expected, it didn’t work.

Su Min said: “It seems to be related to what happened at lunch.”

Today during lunch Shi Nansheng had eaten Xiao Chen’s severed finger. Although he spat it out, he saw that the skin on it was already gone.

Without even thinking you could guess that it must have been eaten by Shi Nansheng without his knowledge.

Su Min surmised that Shi Nansheng was probably too severely affected by that incident that he ended up eating his own hands.

Of course, he didn’t have any evidence for this. Afterall, he wasn’t certain about Xiao Chen and what his role was.

Han Qinqin who didn’t witness any of the incidents earlier could no longer deny the truth. She now believed them, “Is he really dead?”

Yan Jing Cai said: “Can he still be alive in this state?”

His mouth had already split open to the extent that even stitches couldn’t fix it.

Xu Yixang had recovered a little from her shock. She asked: “Was it because he ate Xiao Chen’s fingers that he died like this?”

Han Qinqin said: “Then does that mean that we won’t be able to eat tonight?”

“Is that what you’re focusing on?” Xu Yixiang turned around and asked: “There’s someone dead here. Safety is the most important.”

Han Qinqin glanced at her and spoke calmly: “Was the question that I asked not safety related?”

Xu Yixiang felt that she didn’t seem very worried.

To be honest, Han Qinqin gave her a bad feeling. It was just based on her intuition alone.

So she didn’t tell anyone about this.

“There’s no point arguing.” Yan Jing Cai sat on the other bed, “There’s already a death here.”

They had said that they might be safe this afternoon but that came back and slapped them on the face. It was even through such a gruesome death.

Xu Yixiang sat down next to him, “Why don’t we leave? This orphanage gives me a very bad feeling. It feels very oppressive.”

They wanted to leave earlier because things didn’t feel right but, with this happening now, there clearly was something problematic.

Su Min moved away from Shi Nansheng’s corpse, “Even if we want to leave, we can’t. Your attempts earlier were proof.”

Yan Jing Cai understood this deep inside. He just felt distressed having his final hope crumble away so easily.

He asked: “Then are we just going to stay here without eating anything the whole time?”

Xiao Chen was the one who did the cooking. No one knew if he would thrown in another severed finger in tonight or if he would cut off another part of his body and throw it in.

If they must eat, he wouldn’t mind eating his finger but if he ate some other strange part he would vomit to death.

Su Min thought seriously: “No.”

It that was the case, then everyone in this horror movie would end up starving to death. The movie director clearly wouldn’t do this.

He guessed that these kinds of things would probably only happen a couple of times and the rest of the deaths would be different. The male and female protagonist would also notice some problems with it in between these deaths and slowly get closer to the truth.

Even if the cannon fodder died, Yan Jing Cai and Xu Yixiang was predetermined to die last.

Yan Jing Cai felt a little more reassured, “I hope it’s like that. I don’t want to starve to death, nor do I want to be scared to death.”

Xu Yixang looked at Su Min: “Really?”

Su Min answered honestly: “Not sure.”

That was what he surmised from the movie but, no matter how likely it was, it was still an uncertainty.

Xu Yixiang: “………..”

Alright. This Su Min really likes to subvert her impression of him.

Su Min felt his back go cold from the strange look she gave him. He gently coughed, “Let’s deal with Shi Nansheng’s case first.”

Han Qinqin who was waiting by the door said: “Let’s tell the director.”

Yan Jing Cai and Xu Yixiang answered in unison: “You can’t.”
