Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

The light in the west wing was still on. Qin Huairu was waiting for her husband to return, unaware that the person she was waiting for would never come home again.

Lin Tian didn't look at her, and walked straight through the middle courtyard towards the backyard.

The lights in the Liu family's backyard were already off, and it was pitch black behind the paper windows.

Liu Haizhong and his wife shared one room, while Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu shared another.

Lin Tian, ​​in his ghostly form, silently passed through the closed door and drifted into Liu Guangtian's room.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were fast asleep in bed, their snores rising and falling.

Lin Tian floated to the bedside, his gaze lingering for a moment on the two young faces.

They haven't yet been sculpted into that repulsive shape by future evils; they still retain a trace of youthful recklessness and naiveté.

Then he raised his hand and, with just the right amount of force, precisely struck the back of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu's necks.

Two muffled groans sounded almost simultaneously and then disappeared into the darkness.

The two bodies went limp, like sacks with their bones removed, sinking into the bedding.

Without hesitation, Lin Tian threw one into his spatial storage, passed through the door, crossed the courtyard, and headed towards the crooked old locust tree outside the yard.

Then they threw the two people out of the space, and the moonlight shone on the two unconscious people.

Lin Tian looked down at the two people on the ground and said in a deep voice, "If you have to blame someone, blame your future selves. I like to take precautions, so... rest in peace."

They took out the hemp rope that had been prepared beforehand, tied one end into a slipknot, and put it around Liu Guangtian's neck, while the other end was already hanging from a tree branch.

As the rope tightened, Liu Guangtian's body began to rise slowly.

Just then, his eyelids twitched violently a few times, and he suddenly opened them, only to see that he was leaving the ground.

I can't breathe, my neck is tightly bound by something, and my body is slowly rising into the night sky.

Out of the corner of Liu Guangtian's eye, he saw a small figure under the tree. The moonlight shone on that face, which was youthful, calm, and indifferent.

Lin Tian?

Why him?

Liu Guangtian wanted to ask why he was killed, but he could no longer make a sound, and his limbs began to move futilely in the air.

His gaze was fixed on Lin Tianzhang's familiar face, those eyes were calmly watching him, as if waiting for something that would happen sooner or later.

Why?

He opened and closed his mouth silently, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

Why!

What grudge do I have against you?

I have never offended you!

He tried desperately to shout those words, but his throat felt like it was being held down by an invisible hand, like a fish dying of thirst.

The rope tightened more and more, and Liu Guangtian could feel his vision blurring and his consciousness fading.

He remembered that when he met Lin Tian in the yard during the day, the child had smiled at him.

That smile was normal, like any eight-year-old child would have.

But now, under the moonlight, that smile looks completely different.

He is a demon.

Liu Guangtian's movements became slower and slower, his breathing became weaker and weaker, and finally, like a leaf blown to its end by the wind, he came to a stop in the last wisp of breeze.

Its body stopped struggling and slowly spun around in the rope loop, like an old pendulum that had completed a full rotation and finally found its balance.

His eyes remained open, staring at the ground below, as if waiting for an answer that would never come.

His eyes still held a lingering sense of confusion and resentment.

Do not look down.

Liu Guangfu, who was lying on the ground, was awakened by a chill.

He groggily opened his eyes and saw a face floating in the moonlight, its eyes wide open, its mouth half-open, and its tongue slightly sticking out.

"Aaaaaah, a ghost!!!"

Liu Guangfu let out a short scream and scrambled backward, his back hitting the rough tree trunk. Only then did he see the owner of that face.

"Second Brother!"

"Second brother, what's wrong? Second brother, wake up."

Liu Guangfu lunged forward, trying to grab Liu Guangtian's ankles and pull the body hanging in mid-air down, but found that he was not strong enough.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

In the Liu family, only his second brother treated him well. His eldest brother, Liu Guangqi, always had the best things, and his parents never looked at him for more than a second.

Only his second brother would share half of his food with him, and only his second brother would take him to the yard to look at the moon after he was scolded by his father, saying, "Don't be sad, your brother is here."

But now his second brother is gone. He just hangs there on the tree and will never speak to him again.

Liu Guangfu knelt on the ground, his shoulders trembling violently in the moonlight. He took a deep breath, trying to support himself on the ground to stand up, wanting to put his second brother's body down.

Just as he staggered to his feet, he caught a glimpse of someone diagonally above him, on the other side of the crooked tree.

It's Jia Dongxu.

He hung his head.

Liu Guangfu's pupils constricted sharply, and he froze on the spot.

His gaze lingered between the two bodies, as if trying to discern some hidden truth from this silent juxtaposition.

Just then, a voice rang in his ear, like a whisper carried by the wind: "Liu Guangfu, it's time to set off."

A chill suddenly spread from his ears all the way down his spine, like an icy stream slowly flowing down his spine.

Liu Guangfu suddenly turned his head, and a face was inches away from his.

His face was very pale and frightening, his eyes were deep, and there was a very faint curve at the corner of his mouth. It was Lin Tian.

Why him?

They had no grudge against each other.

Liu Guangfu wanted to shout, to run, to reach out and push that face away, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

A small hand was already resting on the side of his neck, the palm as cold as ice.

"Don't be afraid!"

The demonic voice continued to whisper, as calmly as if comforting a child having a nightmare, "Soon."

The rope slid across Liu Guangfu's neck, the slipknot tightened, and his body was lifted up by an irresistible force, slowly rising higher.

Why did you kill me?

Liu Guangfu looked down at the ground, and the face standing under the tree looked up at him, as if confirming something that had been accomplished.

Liu Guangfu's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but his body fell silent first.

I stood side by side with two other people among the branches of the old locust tree, swaying gently in the wind.

Lin Tian took two steps back, looked up at the three figures swinging side by side on the swing, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Not bad, not bad, if we're brothers, let's swing together."

However, at this time...

The lights in the front yard of the courtyard house were on.

It was clearly Liu Guangfu's screams that had startled the people in the courtyard that had woken them up.

"interesting."

"It seems we need to take this step slowly, otherwise it wouldn't be good if it involved our parents."

"Especially my father, such an upright and stubborn man, if he knew his son was a murderer, he would definitely be the first to send himself to jail."
