Lin Wan's finger was pointing in the direction of her mother's apron.

The clothes there were already stained bright red with the constantly seeping blood!

Fresh blood dripped from the hem of his clothes onto the floor.

And right next to her wound was the boning knife that Lin's mother had mentioned!

The sharp boning knife actually pierced through the heavy security door, the blade grazing past Lin's mother's side!

If the blade had been slightly higher and to the right, Lin's mother would not have been merely cut; she would likely have been pierced through the waist and abdomen on the spot.

Upon seeing this, Lin's father's pupils suddenly contracted. He rushed forward and pulled Lin's mother, who was still in shock, behind him.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed his wife and daughter's arms and ran wildly toward the master bedroom.

Just as they rushed into the bedroom and were about to slam the door shut, Lin Wan caught a glimpse of the scene in the entryway out of the corner of her eye.

The gleaming boning knife pierced the security door again, embedding itself squarely above the lock.

A piercing metallic tearing sound rang out as the boning knife sliced ​​open the heavy security door as easily as cutting tofu, following the contours of the doorknob.

Just before the bedroom door was closed, the doorknob of the security door fell to the ground with a thud.

The security door, now unlocked, was slowly pushed open by the mentally ill person outside.

The man in the hospital gown, with a twisted and bloodthirsty smile on his face, walked slowly into the living room and then headed towards the bedroom.

Upon seeing this, Lin's father was terrified and quickly closed the bedroom door, locking it from the inside.

With red eyes, he used all his strength to push everything usable in the bedroom behind the door, blocking it shut.

After doing all this, he leaned against the door, panting heavily, as if all his strength had been drained.

He took a couple of breaths and immediately called out to Lin Wan, who was huddled in the corner.

"Wanwan! Quick! Call the police! Dial 110!"

After shouting, he immediately rummaged through the medical kit he kept under the bed for emergencies, and hurriedly took out gauze and iodine to stop the bleeding of Lin's mother, who was leaning against the headboard.

Lin Wan was trembling uncontrollably, and her fingers kept slipping from the screen. It took her a long time to finally dial the police.

She spoke incoherently into the phone, giving her home address and recounting the incident of an armed intruder breaking in.

After she finished speaking, a ghostly laugh came from outside the bedroom door, followed by incessant banging on the door.

The mentally ill man was incredibly strong; he smashed the furniture that was blocking the door, making it tremble!

This reminded Lin Wan of the scene where the boning knife had just slashed through the security door!

That kind of strength is simply beyond human capabilities!

"Could it be..." Lin Wan recalled her experiences over the past few days, and a sense of despair and helplessness welled up in her heart.

Why? Why is she so unlucky to run into these weird things again?

She was filled with regret; why hadn't she asked Chen Zhuo for his contact information when she got off the bus?

Now, besides Chen Zhuo, she couldn't think of anyone else who could save them.

Just then, a brilliant idea flashed into her mind.

The phone number she's using now is the one she got in high school, and she still has Chen Zhuo's number from five years ago saved in her contacts!

As if grasping at a straw, Lin Wan frantically searched for numbers in her contacts and shakily pressed the dial button.

That's why Chen Zhuo received the SOS call at around 3 a.m.

Lin Wan, speaking incoherently over the phone, recounted everything that had happened at home to Chen Zhuo.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of police sirens coming from the living room, along with the excited voice of Lin's father beside her.

"Police! The police are here! Wanwan! We're saved!"

Before Lin's father could finish speaking, the police could be heard.

"Listen up, you inside! Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately! Otherwise, we will take coercive measures!"

Chen Zhuo, on the other end of the phone, heard all of this clearly.

"Since the police have already arrived, I don't need to go over there."

As he spoke, he was about to hang up the phone.

Seeing that Chen Zhuo was about to hang up the phone, Lin Wan panicked and shouted at the top of her lungs into the other end of the line.

"Don't hang up! Chen Zhuo, don't hang up! That thing isn't human, the police can't handle it!"

You're the only one who can save us now! I can offer you a reward!

No sooner had Lin Wan finished speaking than a deafening gunshot rang out from the living room.

Immediately afterwards, the entire house fell into a deathly silence, even the police's warnings stopped abruptly.

After a few seconds of deathly silence, Lin's father's trembling voice came through the phone again from the background.

"The police must have shot the thug dead! Wanwan! Quick! Help your mother up! We're going out right now! The police will take us to the hospital!"

Mr. Lin was extremely agitated. He quickly got up, moved the furniture aside, and prepared to go to the living room to find the police so that they would make things easy for his wife and get her to the hospital as soon as possible.

But the moment the bedroom door was opened a crack, a terrified scream suddenly came from the living room.

"Monster! This is a monster! He's not human at all!"

Accompanied by exclamations, several more rapid gunshots rang out.

After the gunshots, screams of agony filled the air.

Lin's father paused in his actions, watching everything unfold in the living room, his mind reeling from an unprecedented shock.

He frantically closed the bedroom door, used his last bit of strength to push the furniture back behind the door, and then collapsed to the floor.

He kept muttering, "Monster! Monster! We're finished!"

Lin's mother, leaning against the headboard, was ashen-faced and weakly asked a question.

"Old Lin... what's happening outside? Where are the police?"

She tried to keep her voice down, enduring the pain in her lower back.

Lin's father looked at his wife in despair and told her what he had just seen.

"That monster... was shot several times... yet... he's still alive!"

And... he killed... all the police... he's a monster!

If it were in the past, Lin's mother would never have believed these things, but from just now until now, everything has overturned her understanding.

Hearing Lin's father's words, she too fell into deep despair.

Just then, Lin's father saw Lin Wan holding her phone, muttering something to herself.

When he heard Chen Zhuo's name, he recalled what had happened downstairs.

He scrambled over to his daughter and snatched the phone away.

Following Lin Wan's words, he pleaded into the phone.

"Chen Zhuo, please, save my family! If you can save us, I'll give you half of my assets!"

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother, who was lying in bed, became anxious and, ignoring the pain in her wound, shouted sharply.

"Are you crazy?! Half of the property?!"

The police have all been killed! He's blind! What ability could he possibly have to save us?!

If you give him the money, how are we supposed to live?!

Mr. Lin turned around abruptly and shouted at Mrs. Lin.

"Shut up! No one can save us now except him! If you want to die, don't drag me and our daughter down with you!"

After scolding his wife, he immediately put the phone back to his ear, anxiously waiting for Chen Zhuo's reply.

Chen Zhuo, who was on the other end of the phone, had already left the villa when he heard Lin Wan say she would give him the money.

He loves money, but he doesn't take any kind of money.

For example, the few hundred yuan that Lin's father offered him was an insult to him, so he refused to take it.

What we're doing now is a transaction; as the saying goes, "He who takes money must do the work."

"Hold on for five more minutes, I'll be there in five minutes."

If you die during this time, I can only say there's nothing I can do to help.
