C334 Dead Man
"Drip, drip, drip..."
The sound of the rain was getting heavier and heavier, covering Mu Ruqing's footsteps.
Mu Ruqing kicked the human skin to the door in disgust and surrounded the table. She did not dare to let go of the sword in her hand.
She could not be completely sure that there was no one in this room.
She knew that someone had hung the human skin on the beam of the room and put it down in the evening. First, she planted the seed of doubt and fear in her heart.
The thing that could ignite the fire in the room should have been taken away by that person at that time.
The room was still pitch black, and lightning could not be found at any time.
Mu Ruqing was very curious about what kind of scary tricks there were. She recalled the scene of killing someone with Old Hong in her mind. It had been a long time since she felt this kind of revenge excitement.
This time Mu Ruqing was sure that she had touched something on the back of her feet. She poked it with her sword and heard the sound of flesh being torn apart. She looked down and saw that she had forgotten about it. She could not see anything now.
Just as she was about to take a step back, her ankle was suddenly grabbed.
Mu Ruqing almost leaned backwards and nervously protected her child.
She swung her sword horizontally and cut off the arm that was grabbing her ankle.
"Kacha."
This was the sound of bones touching, but Mu Ruqing did not smell the rotten smell just now.
"Wang Fei! Wang Fei!!"
This was Lingyue's voice. Mu Ruqing turned her head and looked at the shadow that was imprinted at the door.
After preparing herself, she opened the door.
Lingyue's entire body was drenched and her clothes were stuck to her flesh. She hugged her shoulders and seemed to be trembling from the cold.
Mu Ruqing could not see her face clearly and did not come close.
This time, she struck with lightning just in time.
Mu Ruqing saw Lingyue's pale face and blue lips. Her gaze was helpless and she was about to fall down in the next second.
"Lingyue? Quickly come in." Mu Ruqing had just helped Lingyue into the room when Lingyue fell to the ground and cried out silently.
Mu Ruqing could even hear the sound of her teeth chattering.
She found a new blanket and covered Lingyue's body to wipe the rain off her body.
"Wang... Princess... I am so afraid..." Lingyue grabbed Mu Ruqing's voice and did not let go. She used a lot of force and even her voice was trembling.
"No need to be afraid. I am here." How could Mu Ruqing forget that since she had this kind of thing, Lingyue must be the same. She was quite frightened. "They are all dead things. Now I will accompany you. Whether it is a ghost or a devil, I will protect you."
Only then did Lingyue feel a sense of reliance in her heart. Thinking about what she saw just now, she started to tremble again. Her entire person was leaning towards Mu Ruqing.
Mu Ruqing was like coaxing a child as she hugged her and blocked the thing that was cut earlier. She could not let Lingyue see it again and thought of the human skin at the door.
If Lingyue knew that she stepped on it, she was afraid that she would be frightened again.
Mu Ruqing softly spoke to Lingyue and supported her to the wardrobe to find her a set of clothes.
She brought her around those things again and touched the darkness to help her onto the bed.
"Wang Fei..." Lingyue still grabbed Mu Ruqing's hand, "In my room, there are dead people..."
"Don't talk about this now. We will talk about it tomorrow." Mu Ruqing tucked her under the blanket and smiled, even though she could not see.
"Rumble!"
There was another sound of thunder. Lingyue was so afraid that she lifted the blanket and covered her head.
Mu Ruqing could even feel the trembling blanket.
There was a cold feeling on her back! Mu Ruqing was shocked for a moment. This was a cold sensation.
Just as she turned around, the light brought by the lightning disappeared. Mu Ruqing did not see clearly and confirmed that there was something behind her.
"Wang Fei..."
Lingyue's voice was somewhat suppressed as she called Mu Ruqing through the blanket.
"I am here." Mu Ruqing's words made Lingyue feel at ease again.
It was another cold touch and Mu Ruqing suddenly lowered her voice, "Just like this, don't stick your head out."
"Princess, is it..."
"No." Mu Ruqing cut her off, "This way, you should feel safer. If I had anything here, would I still be so calm?"
"Okay..." Lingyue calmed down and listened to Mu Ruqing's words. She did not lift the blanket.
In order to comfort Lingyue, Mu Ruqing said, "I will go and find if there is a fire piston."
"Princess, don't go." Lingyue stuck her head out and looked at Mu Ruqing's silhouette which was full of reliance.
"If I don't go, I will take a few steps. If you are worried... Just keep talking to me." Mu Ruqing stood up and took a few steps back. " After covering yourself with the blanket, you just felt cold. Now, you have to warm up properly. Otherwise, you'll get cold. "
"Okay. Princess, I'm sorry..." Lingyue suddenly felt guilty. She should have protected Mu Ruqing, but now Mu Ruqing was protecting her.
"What are you saying? We are already sisters and it was you who took care of me. Now it is rare for me to take care of you."
Lingyue hid under the blanket and started to weep. She was touched by Mu Ruqing and having such a mistress was enough.
"I will be back soon. You stay here."
"En."
Mu Ruqing was relieved. She was afraid that she would see the thing behind her.
Another lightning bolt came at the right time.
Mu Ruqing saw it clearly. This glance, even though she had made preparations, was still somewhat terrifying.
The corpse was squatting at the foot of Mu Ruqing's bed. It was curled up and its hands and feet only had the skin in front of it and there were corpse spots.
At the place where the forehead was, the scalp and hair at the back were all gone. Only the blood red ferocious flesh was exposed in the air.
The corpse was half pale and half blood red.
Some of the skin that was not peeled off had already been separated from his flesh and blood. It was dangling, and some of it had been folded to the back.
Only that face was very strange.
Its face was even whiter than paper, without any eyebrows. Its eyes were wide open, and the surroundings of its eye sockets were all red. It was so red that it was almost black.
His nose was also cut off, and it matched perfectly with the two sides of his cheeks. The two sides of his mouth had a strange smile on their faces, and it almost reached the bones.
His lips were black, and he had no ears on the back of his head. In the rainy night, it would be shocking to see through the lightning.
It was another bolt of lightning. Mu Ruqing did not feel it this time as she stared at the corpse. The corpse's movement changed!
From the two hands that were hugging her knees in the beginning, now it was her left hand that stretched out and pointed at Mu Ruqing. She also raised her head.
The eyes that had been opened just now had been closed.
Mu Ruqing began to suspect that a dead person would not move. But since it had already become like this, she was afraid that it would be a complete death.
That human skin should be hers.
"Princess?? Where are you, why aren't you saying anything?" Lingyue could not hear Mu Ruqing's movements and was somewhat flustered.
"There is no fire piston. Maybe I threw it somewhere." Mu Ruqing was thinking about how to deal with the corpse and was even less afraid. If it was still moving, then it must have been used by someone.
"The Princess still has a body. Don't touch it. It is all my fault..."
"I am not that weak yet." Mu Ruqing touched her lower abdomen. Fortunately, her mental endurance was not ordinary. Otherwise, she would really be scared and hurt the child.
Now, the purpose of that person was very obvious. It was to scare them.
A pregnant woman would definitely not be able to protect the child after suffering such a fright.
It was a pity that Mu Ruqing was not an ordinary person.
"Princess, they are all sleeping so soundly that they will not wake up no matter what." Lingyue hid under the blanket and her voice was muffled.
"Since the purpose is so obvious, naturally I have made sufficient preparations." Mu Ruqing frowned and had a preliminary suspicion in her heart.
