I work as a housekeeper in Guilou

Chapter 256 Killing a Certain Bone Immortal ()

Xia Qimiao is getting familiar with this body. When she opens her eyes, she always feels that her soul and body do not match, and it feels awkward no matter how she moves.

After she closed her eyes, the feeling disappeared and she was herself.

When she lost her vision, her other senses became more acute, not to mention that the owner of this body relied on these senses to survive.

Some details became apparent, such as the faint sounds of breathing and heartbeat that she had ignored before.

She could tell that the owner of the voice was trying his best to suppress it, but it did not escape her ears.

Moreover, there was a very faint smell of blood and alcohol, coming from the same direction as those movements.

Someone is hiding in this room.

Xia Qimiao was not in a hurry to find the man, but pretended to be a blind man to familiarize himself with the environment.

The area here is small, and the living room and bedroom are simply separated by plastic walls. The total area is about 20 square meters.

The bathroom was in the corner of the living room. Xia Qimiao opened her eyes after entering and saw that there was no place to hide anyone.

There's no kitchen, which means no knives. The nursing home probably has a collective cafeteria, where people living in such rooms should eat.

After overall exploration, there are only two places where people can hide, one is under the bed and the other is the closet.

Xia Qimiao felt that bending down to look under the bed was too deliberate, so she lit her blind stick and opened the closet door.

She opened her eyes and saw two sets of pure white clothes inside, as well as a man hiding on his knees.

She reached out and groped for a set of clothes and pulled them out. She touched them up and down twice before closing the closet door.

While pretending to check his clothes, Xia Qimiao took stock of the man's condition.

The room was dark, and she was wearing sunglasses, so she could only see roughly. His upper body was wrapped in gauze, and blood was probably still oozing out.

Before she came, he should have been hiding in an empty room. He had no way of knowing the outside world, so he was blocked here by her.

Xia Qimiao closed her eyes and put on the clothes. They were one-size-fits-all and were a little loose on her body. She rolled up her wide sleeves so as not to affect her movements.

She sat on the bed facing the closet, thinking about her next move.

First of all, she was sure that the gauze man and this nursing home were not the same group. If so, there was no need for him to hide around.

Secondly, there should be no surveillance in this room. On the one hand, she didn't find it herself. On the other hand, if there was, the man would have been caught long ago and wouldn't be hiding here.

Finally, the other party should be able to communicate.

If there was someone in the room, the other party might be exposed. Faced with a blind man who looked "vulnerable", he did not attack and restrict her movements, but stayed there. At least it showed that he was not a madman who would kill everyone on sight.

"Maybe we can talk, or come out and have a chat?"

After Xia Qimiao's words fell, she heard the person in the closet breathing heavier. The person immediately held his breath again, followed by a heavy and loud sigh.

He has been exposed and there is no need to hide anymore.

The gauze man opened the closet door and walked out: "When did you find me?"

"When we entered the door," Xia Qimiao deliberately spoke forward, "you know, a blind person's hearing is always sharper than that of a normal person."

She told him that she could reveal his existence before the tattooed man and the bald man left, but she didn't. To a certain extent, this is a sign of goodwill.

The gauze man obviously received her signal, and his whole body was not as tense as before. "Then you just pretended to walk around the room before opening the closet door to confirm. Are you planning to see how I will act?"

"Yeah, if you attack me, I'll be rude too."

What a rude thing to do, the gauze man looked at this blind man with thin arms and legs, could he hit him with the wooden stick in his hand?

However, he had the foresight not to say this question out loud, and pressed the gauze on his body.

"You said let's talk, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I was abducted and wanted to go home," Xia Qimiao got straight to the point, "Did you see those two people? They tied me here to show me that weird thing."

The gauze man really didn't notice it. He listened to the whole audience and thought that the blind man was the leader here. He didn't understand the threat at all.

She didn't know the teasing in his heart and continued: "I was afraid that they would be bad for me, so I just made peace with them and pretended that I completely obeyed them."

"But that's not what I thought, otherwise I wouldn't have surrendered you."

"I guess you are not with them, that's why I dare to say these things to you."

"How do you know it's not the case? What if I'm here to spy on you?" The tattooed man couldn't hold back and asked.

Xia Qimiao briefly explained her speculation to him, but she heard something far beyond her expectation.

"NPC is quite smart." The gauze man muttered.

"NPC?" She caught his voice, her attention was drawn to the front, and she couldn't help but repeat it.

"I'm so quiet, can you still hear what I say clearly?" The gauze man said in surprise. He was confused just now. He didn't expect that this blind man's ears are so good. "No wonder you can hear me here when you walk in."

She grabbed the key point and asked, "What does NPC mean?"

"Oh, you don't understand," the gauze man pursed his lips, "It's the dialect of my hometown, and it refers to a special person who can communicate."

"Where is your hometown?" Xia Qimiao asked, "Maybe I've heard of it."

"It's bad, I didn't know even if I told you. It's quite far away and I can't go back now anyway." The gauze man closed his eyes and didn't want to talk anymore.

She tried another way of saying it: "NPC refers to a special person who can communicate, so you are also an NPC."

"I'm not that kind of unlucky..." The gauze man stopped quickly. He was almost about to say that this thing was unlucky in front of the NPC. "This is one-way. I can only point it at you, but you can't point it at me."

Then, he muttered again: "This is a broken game."

Xia Qimiao looked calm, but her heart was already in turmoil. She had confirmed his identity.

Isn’t the game closed? How could there be players here?

She couldn't help but think of the "underground garage cult murder case" mentioned by Qi Lixing. It was said that five complete skeletons were assembled at the scene and the DNA of two other people was found.

One of them is definitely the murderer because Asuka caught him and is still studying it.

There is one person left whose whereabouts are unknown.

Could it be the person in front of her?
If this is the case, then he should have entered here a few days before the game was closed.

Should he confess his identity, or hide it first and play it by ear?
