He had expected this result, so he wasn't disappointed.
He went to the window, pulled back the curtains and looked outside. The night was already quite dark. It seemed that the sky in Jiling Town darkened very quickly, almost abnormally so.
"Should we believe the statement, 'Don't respond to strange noises'?"
Fan Xiao drew the curtains, lost in thought.
If this family really has a problem, then what Koike just said can't be trusted... or rather, can't be completely trusted.
She might say the opposite of what she means at some key points.
However... Fan Xiao wasn't quite sure whether to do it the other way around.
With such a lack of intelligence, taking rash action could bring about dangers that could have been avoided.
After thinking about it, he decided to follow Xiaochi's advice and pretend to be asleep.
If danger were to strike, I believe the little angel would step in and help him resolve it.
After making his decision, Fan Xiao went to the bedside.
Beside the bed stood an old dressing table, the stool and table made of wood and painted with dark red paint.
The vanity mirror was surprisingly clean, with not much dust, so it must be wiped and cleaned regularly.
Fan Xiao looked at himself in the mirror, subconsciously tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled, then made a peace sign, and played rock-paper-scissors... Hmm, the movements were in sync, no problem.
He turned his head, preparing to go to bed.
Fan Xiao glanced at Fan Xiao in the mirror, then turned his head and lay down on the bed.
The room quickly quieted down, with only the chirping of insects coming from outside.
Fan Xiao turned off the lights, pulled up the covers, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
The night is getting darker.
About half an hour later, thump, thump, thump...
The sound of knocking on the window came from there.
"..."
Fan Xiao was not asleep; he couldn't possibly sleep in the dungeon.
Boom, boom, boom...
The knocking on the window started again, this time more urgent than before, as if urging Fan Xiao to quickly draw back the curtains and open the window.
At that moment, Fan Xiao kept his eyes closed, ignoring the attention.
He couldn't respond to strange noises—Koike's warning came to mind.
Koike might be lying, but he's prepared to wait and see; the same things will happen.
The knocking on the window grew more urgent, becoming a continuous, rapid series of knocks.
At one point, the sound suddenly stopped.
Two or three minutes passed, and then the knocking stopped.
It seemed that something outside left when no one responded from inside.
After a while, thump, thump, thump...
Fan Xiao heard a knock on his bedroom door.
It wasn't the living room door, but the bedroom door.
The dull thud sounded like someone outside was banging their head against the door.
Something has entered the living room.
Or perhaps... it's the Koike family who's behind this?
"..."
Fan Xiao felt a little uneasy.
Soon, the knocking became more urgent, just like when they had knocked on the window earlier.
After knocking for a while without any response, the knocking stopped, and the bedroom became quiet again, with only the chirping of insects.
"My room is so close to Li Xian's, he should be able to hear this too. I wonder what's going on on his end?"
Just as Fan Xiao was pondering the problem, thump, thump, thump...
A knocking sound came from the cabinet next to the wooden bed.
That thing went into his house...
Chapter 351 Is anyone home? If no one's here, I'll come in.
While Fan Xiao was in trouble, on the other side of Jiling Town, internet celebrity Liu Liu and two male companions were gathered in the living room discussing how to deal with the night.
They also chose to stay at families whose homes did not display portraits for ancestor worship, and were also instructed to observe and follow the rules that they must be mindful of at night.
This is a family of three.
The family consists of a middle-aged couple and their daughter.
At this moment, all three of them returned to their rooms to sleep.
"What do you think of my proposal?"
Liu Liu's two male companions were one thin and the other slightly overweight.
The obese man glanced at the wristwatch on his left arm and continued, "The girl said the lights must be turned off at nine o'clock tonight, and the room must not be lit at all, otherwise there will be a 100% chance of danger. We don't have much time to discuss countermeasures, you have to make a decision quickly."
"I still think it's a bit risky."
The thinner man opposite the fat man shook his head and said, "Running into a town resident's room to take refuge... what if something happens? They told us that only one person can stay in a room. It's a rule set by the mayor. I... I'd better sleep in the guest room they prepared for me."
"Heh, you actually believe that only one person can stay in a room?"
The obese man pointed to a bedroom on the right side of the living room and said, "I noticed earlier that the girl's parents went into the same room; they live together!"
“We’re different from them!” the thin man said. “They’re local residents, and the mayor hasn’t made any rules preventing them from living together.”
"How can you be so cowardly! The mayor didn't make any rules prohibiting us from staying in their rooms!"
The obese man said irritably, "Moreover, judging from the current situation, even if there really is a rule that 'only one person can live in a room,' it only applies to 'guest rooms.' It certainly won't work for the rooms where the townspeople live. That middle-aged couple living together is the best proof of that."
Listening to his companion's well-reasoned and logical analysis, the thin man hesitated.
It sounds like...there's some truth to it?
Trust me! You can't go wrong.
The obese man continued, "The residents of this town have lived here for so many years. If there were real danger at night and accidents happened frequently, they would have moved away long ago! So..."
After a pause, he concluded, "I suspect that the townspeople's own rooms are the safest, so they won't have any problems at night, and if nothing happens, they won't move out. But the guest rooms we're going to stay in might be very dangerous."
"What you said... makes some sense. But..."
The thin man shook his head and said, "I still think it's too risky! I'd better just go to the guest room and sleep."
"Fine, you coward, go play by yourself! I'm not coming to your rescue if anything happens!"
The obese man abandoned the thinner man, turned to Liu Liu, and asked, "Sixth Sister, what about you? I think the guest rooms are dangerous. Why don't you come with me to snatch their rooms?"
"Let me ask you first," Liu Liu pointed to the two rooms on the right side of the living room and asked, "Which room do you want to stay in?"
"That one, please."
The obese man pointed to the family's daughter's room.
Liu Liu immediately frowned and said, "Don't tell me you're planning to do that kind of thing?"
"Hey... Sixth Sister, you really understand me."
The obese man revealed a lewd and fierce expression and said, "I didn't expect to meet such a pretty girl in this godforsaken place... I have to say, I'm quite lucky."
"Are you crazy?!" Liu Liu exclaimed in astonishment. "Look at our situation now, how can you still be in the mood to do something like this?!"
She knew her companion's character well.
In private, this guy tortured and abused the women who were tricked into coming to Wa City; he was like a lecherous monster.
But even if you're attracted to something, you have to consider the occasion, right?
Is this the time to think with your lower body?
"I know what you're worried about, Sixth Sister. Hmph... What are the chances of us ordinary people surviving if we get caught up in this hellhole?"
The obese man's eyes grew even fiercer as he said, "We were almost killed by those superhumans this afternoon. What about tomorrow? What about the day after? According to them, we have to hold out for seven days before we can get out."
"Besides superhumans, there might be ghosts in this place... Damn it! Anyway, I'm not confident I can survive seven days. Since that's the case, and since there's meat to eat, I might as well enjoy myself first!"
"You're really crazy!" Liu Liu yelled. "If you're going to be crazy, you're the one who's crazy! I'm going to stay in the guest room."
"It's a real shame, I genuinely think the guest rooms are much more dangerous than the rooms these locals stay in themselves."
Seeing this, the obese man stopped trying to persuade him and sneered, "If you get into trouble tonight, don't come to me for help. I won't open the door for you."
After saying that, he glanced at his watch to check the time, and then moved toward the target room.
As he walked, he thought to himself, "There must be a reason why that group of superhumans beat us to death this afternoon. If we encounter them again tomorrow, we will most likely be beaten by them again. If this continues, even if we don't die at the hands of ghosts, we will die at the hands of superhumans."
“I have to deal with this family! I’ll take their safe room, then lock the door and ignore the people who came to question me during the day. This town is so big, the chances of an extraordinary person finding my family are slim.”
"As for that little girl... heh, let's not kill her for now, keep her around to relieve boredom. She looks about seventeen or eighteen, probably quite pretty."
He had already formulated his next plan.
The obese man believed he was on a different level from his accomplices who had been dragged into the situation, and that he was a rare breed of intelligent people.
In this godforsaken place where even superhumans have no confidence of surviving, to live for seven days, you need to rely on your brain and be ruthless.
Following the rules? Hmph, those kinds of people die the fastest!
"Little sister, here I come!"
The obese man grasped the doorknob of the girl's room, opened the door, went inside, and then closed and locked the door again.
On the other side, the thin man, seeing this, imagined the situation and his desire was aroused, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
"This guy is deliberately courting death, so don't go with him."
Liu Liu reminded her companion.
“But,” the thin man muttered, “what he said seems to make some sense…”
“He’s gambling!” Liu Liu said. “We all thought this family was safe, which is why we came to stay. Now that we’ve made up our minds, let’s not cause any more trouble and just get through tonight quietly.”
"Could it be that we made the wrong choice?" the thin man said unwillingly. "If we made the wrong choice, I think it's better to do as he says. The rooms where the townspeople live are indeed safer than the guest rooms."
"Has your brain been eaten clean by sperm?!"
Liu Liu couldn't help but curse, "If we chose the wrong family, and this family is problematic and unsafe, then why are you sneaking into their house at night...aren't you just asking for death?!"
"……ok, I get it."
The thin man looked rather unpleasant after being suddenly scolded, but he still accepted Liu Liu's proposal.
He said, "It's almost nine o'clock. Let's go back to the guest room and lie down. Whether we can sleep or not, let's pretend to be asleep first."
After saying that, he turned off the living room light and went to his room.
Liu Liu followed closely behind.
Meanwhile, the obese man who had entered the girl's room had already silently crept to the girl's bedside.
In the dim moonlight, he could see the girl's fair and pretty face. He couldn't help but lick his lips, his throat feeling a little dry.
"Who...who's there?"
The girl on the bed wasn't asleep. She seemed to have heard some noise and got up in fright, shouting.
Upon seeing the dark figure standing by the bed, fear immediately crossed her face.
"Quite alert, huh..." The fat man's smile turned lewd: "Don't be afraid, little sister, you'll feel very comfortable soon."
After saying that, the man suddenly lunged at the girl, grabbing her arms and holding her down tightly.
The girl began to struggle, and to prevent her from screaming and attracting the attention of the middle-aged couple sleeping in another bedroom, the man used one hand to press firmly against the girl's mouth, silencing her cries.
