A dating guide turned into being surrounded by female ghosts?

Chapter 40 Crimson Crack

"Bang—bang—!"

Two sharp sounds.

Two more clusters of firework lit up inside the room.

Brick dust flew around me, stinging my skin.

But Lin Yue didn't even dare to turn her head.

They ran upstairs quickly.

As long as he remains a carbon-based life form, it's impossible for him to be unafraid of such thermal weapons.

A low, hate-filled growl sounded from behind, "Damn it! Who are you?"

Lin Yue didn't dare to answer.

This villa has about three floors.

He quickly escaped to the top floor.

With its own speed and the buffer of the three-story staircase, it doesn't even need to activate "burst acceleration".

He left the guy behind him so far that he couldn't even see his shadow anymore.

But as soon as he stepped onto this floor, a row of neatly arranged rooms appeared in front of him.

Without thinking twice, Lin Yue rushed towards the deepest room.

That room looked the largest, so it should have windows for ventilation.

He's thought it all out.

As soon as you run inside, jump out of the window and escape into the woods.

It's so dark now, and with the trees providing cover, it's practically impossible for that madman behind me to hit me.

As long as we can escape this place.

If you call the police again, he'll know just how heavy the iron fist of justice can be.

However, just as Lin Yue was sprinting towards the end of the corridor and passing through a certain room...

Suddenly, without warning, a chill ran down his spine.

Startled by this instinctive reaction.

Lin Yue's legs suddenly stopped.

His gaze was fixed intently on the tightly closed door in front of him.

The handle was very smooth, unlike the rusty handles on the doors of other rooms.

This indicates that someone frequently opens and closes the door to this room, specifically the room opened and closed by that madman in the back.

And, most importantly...

Lin Yue quickly looked down at her arm.

Every single hair on it stood up.

This feeling was just like standing at the door of Qin Ziwang's isolation room in the mental health center.

That was the oppressive aura of an evil spirit.

There's something in this room!

Lin Yue only thought about it for less than a second.

In the end, I chose to turn the doorknob by hand.

"Click—"

The latch made a soft click.

But as soon as he opened it, he immediately regretted it.

It turned out that what was in front of me was just a small bathroom.

The window was also extremely narrow, making it impossible for a 1.81-meter-tall adult man like him to pass through.

Lin Yue had originally intended to just close the bathroom door.

However, at that moment, the footsteps on the stairs became increasingly urgent and heavy.

"Knock knock knock—"

That madman is coming after us.

There's no time to choose anymore.

Lin Yue gritted her teeth, quickly crawled inside, and carefully locked the bathroom door without making a sound.

In that very instant.

The madman happened to be carrying a gun and came to the third-floor corridor.

If Lin Yue were to choose another door at this moment, the long, unobstructed corridor would be the best shooting route.

The madman stared at each room through gritted teeth, his bloodshot eyes almost dripping blood.

That kid is right here!

He must be killed!

We can't let him leave alive!

otherwise······

······

When Lin Yue entered this strange bathroom, the feeling of goosebumps became even more intense.

His sixth sense was frantically reminding him.

Something's very wrong here!

"Click—"

Just then, the sound of a door opening came from the hallway outside.

Lin Yue immediately pictured the madman outside, gun in hand, angrily searching each room, determined to find her and shoot her dead!

He immediately eased his breathing.

In order to prevent the sound of their breathing from being heard by others.

Meanwhile, his eyes scanned the small bathroom.

I'm trying to find something strange in here.

However, to his surprise...

It's quite ordinary here. It has everything a normal bathroom should have: a sink, a bathtub, a toilet, a faucet, a basin... The tiles are spotless, and there's no dirt on the walls.

It was so clean and tidy that it made one wonder if this was a hotel bathroom.

However, the more normal it seemed, the more suspicious Lin Yue became.

Imagine a long-abandoned haunted house inhabited by a madman whose hygiene habits are so terrible that the garbage in the house is so plentiful it could be used as a weapon.

How could they possibly go out of their way to clean this place so thoroughly?

This very normalcy is the biggest abnormality.

Lin Yue heard the sound of another door opening outside, and her brain raced in the dangerous environment.

He suddenly remembered the stray cat corpses buried outside.

In the darkness, Lin Yue's eyes suddenly flashed.

He quickly crouched down.

I tapped the crack between the bricks with my fingernail, then held it under my nose and sniffed it gently.

A pungent, metallic smell immediately filled my nostrils.

This is blood stains!

That madman outside is the one who does those weird cat-killing things here.

Because a large amount of blood has accumulated here repeatedly over a long period of time.

This makes it impossible to clean thoroughly, resulting in so much solidified bloodstains in the cracks in the floor!

But why does he have to do this here?

Wouldn't it be more convenient to handle this on the first floor?

"After Qin's father committed suicide, the police did find some unusual things in his bathroom: a bunch of severed shoulders, buttocks, stomach, and hands and feet... which were from Qin Ziwang's mother."

Oh, right, the toilet, the restroom.

The body fragments of Qin Ziwang's mother should have been found here.

And there's an aura of evil spirits that seems to permeate the walls.

There must be something here.

There must be something there!

Otherwise, the Qin couple and that guy outside wouldn't have performed almost identical acts of harvesting internal organs in the same place and the same house, within a few years of each other.

"Click—"

There was another sound of a door lock being opened.

And the sound was extremely close to the bathroom.

That madman is coming soon.

Lin Yue was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

"We need to find out why something's wrong here quickly."

"That madman was so desperate to kill me."

"It must be because there's some very important secret here that he doesn't want others to know; he wants to silence them!"

"If we can really find the cause, we might be able to use it to blackmail that madman."

"Think about it, think about it carefully!"

"That thing is definitely here."

Several thoughts flashed through Lin Yue's mind.

Toilet? Washbasin? ...

No, it shouldn't be these ordinary things.

The police came here before.

If it were an object that could be seen at a glance, the police would have found it long ago.

Therefore, this thing must be something beyond common sense, something related to evil spirits...

The tension intensified.

Lin Yue suddenly seemed to understand something.

Is it related to evil spirits?

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

The system screen that he knew all too well suddenly appeared before his eyes.

And at the very moment the system appeared.

It was as if something had resonated with it.

Suddenly, a lot of viscous liquid flowed out from the gaps in the floor tiles, and the strong smell of blood seemed to overwhelm the bathroom.

The blood that appeared out of nowhere stained the ground dark red.

Lin Yue stood with her feet firmly planted on the pool of blood that had suddenly appeared, her eyes filled with utter shock.

On the blood-soaked floor less than a meter in front of him, a scarlet crack slowly opened up before him.

The crack seemed to connect to another space.

The whole thing exudes an ominous aura so strong it's maddening.

Four eerie words immediately flashed through Lin Yue's mind: "The Gates of Hell Open."
