At 8 PM, heavy rain pelted the window.

I stared at a black spot on the old ceiling, unable to sleep.

My mind kept pondering over the phone notification I just received.

The heavy rain caused a landslide, residents in the western suburbs should pay attention to travel safety.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Since when was the weather forecast this accurate?

This villa is an old wooden structure, with parts of the floor made of planks, providing very poor sound insulation.

Just over 20 minutes ago, I heard Xu Haolong opening the door for someone upstairs.

Judging by his enthusiastic tone, the visitor must have been a woman.

Heh, men.

Suddenly, I noticed that the black spot was gradually getting bigger, as if something was coming out of the ceiling.

A bug? Super-fast growing mushrooms?

No, none of these.

Because I realized, it might not be a black spot, but some kind of liquid.

Drip—

A stringy liquid dripped down and landed right on my bedsheet.

At the same time, an extremely terrified scream came from upstairs:

"Ah—!"

It was from Xu Haolong's room!

I quickly threw off my blanket and rushed upstairs, along with Hu Mo and Ma Jie.

The scene before us rendered us stunned.

Blood, blood everywhere.

Xu Haolong was half-hanging on the bed, completely naked, with his head twisted at an eerie angle towards the floor.

A huge gash in his throat nearly exposed the white bones, and blood was pooling all over the bed and floor.

He was terribly dead.

Even more bizarre, his genitalia had been cut off!
