Chapter 1261 Heart-Eating Death


Chapter 1261 Heart-Eating Death

The chill on Ji Li's body was burned away by the fire of ignorant karma. The heat wave on the pavement seemed to really burn out his pupils. The rolling flames really revealed the helpless atmosphere that comes with hell.

The burning smell of death penetrates the nasal cavity continuously, making people feel as if they are in a vast hell, with no relief from the suffering.

Pain and wailing occurred next to his ears. The stubborn roar was mixed with unexpected panic, making him completely empathize with it, and even goosebumps naturally appeared on his skin.

He turned around suddenly, and saw that a raging fire was already igniting on the right side, and a "Fire Man" who couldn't stop wailing was banging his head against the wall, causing the book wall to collapse.

In the raging fire, the books were set on fire and the store manager was burned.

Wei Guang's death did not cause waves, but the second person burned by the fire of karma struggled to yell out a single last word at the last moment.

After her last words, her body turned into ashes, and all the book walls on the south side collapsed.

After a wall falls, a new venue is unlocked.

Under the gaze of two handfuls of gray, the remaining five store managers looked at the new area behind the wall with a very strange look.

Behind the wall is an incomplete bedroom.

Incomplete is the literal meaning. This is half a space facing the fireplace, with half a bed on the side and the carpet cut abruptly.

It's as if, in order to fit in with the layout of the study space, a part of a complete bedroom was forcibly cut out and filled behind the wall.

As for the clue of this half-bedroom, it is also very simple. There is a complete fireplace outside the half carpet and half bed.

The fire in this fireplace has been extinguished, but behind the black bricks, there is a pair of bare feet hanging straight down, slowly rippling with the heat waves caused by the burning books on the south wall of the study.

No one acted rashly, let alone went to explore the feet in the fireplace, because what was more important now was the two dead people.

The person who died first was Wei Guang, without any last words.

The person who died later was Li Mochou, with a one-word last word.

Then, everyone's eyes were focused on Huangfu Jiajia, who was staring silently at the pile of ashes.

That's because the word Li Mochou said before she died was "store".

This word is easy to interpret in this situation. She is calling the store manager.

It stands to reason that Li Mochou can be regarded as the one with the lowest status among the eight people in Orange Lake Castle. Her deputy store manager was temporarily selected from the previous series and has very little experience.

Therefore, in previous experiences, no one paid much attention to this little girl.

But at this moment, as the only deceased person who left a last word, she was too important.

Hou Guisheng once again strived to be the first to attack, targeting Huangfu Jiajia, and asked sternly:

"Huangfu, she called your name before she died. Do you have an explanation?"

Huangfu Jiajia was still silent. She didn't turn her head, but stared straight at the ashes, as if she had lost her mind.

But at the same time, Clyde looked at Hou Guisheng with a doubtful look and said in a deep voice:

"Manager Hou, is your direction too extreme?

Both deaths occurred after you read the passage.

Why didn't you start with this aspect first, instead of directly opening fire on the Huangfu store manager? ”

Ji Li stood behind the desk, staring at the people facing each other in front of him, and retreated quietly with a cane.

Anomalies are being exposed on a large scale.

Hou Guisheng no longer hides, he crazily and eagerly hopes that the store managers will have internal strife, and always insists on opposing ideas.

Li Mochou made an inexplicable accusation before her death for no apparent reason and called out the word "shop". How could she not know what kind of negative consequences this word would bring to Huangfu Jiajia?

Huangfu Jiajia, why is she silent, why is she staring at the ashes in a daze, is she aware of something?

And...Luoxian...

Ji Li almost forgot about this person. He always habitually forgot about this most important woman.

Following Bai Lang, Hou Guisheng, Wei Guang, Li Mochou, and Huangfu Jiajia, Ji Li once again discovered something strange about Luo Xian.

But Luo Xian's anomaly is even more special than the first five.

It's not that she is abnormal, but her state is extremely strange.

Ji Li knew that Luo Xian had completed all the special projects, so he had always paid attention to them before arriving at Orange Lake Castle, but since arriving, he had forgotten them from time to time.

Even when the two fires were lit, he couldn't recall what Luo Xian did at that time...

Of the eight people, six of them were found to have abnormalities by Ji Li, leaving only Clyde.

What's wrong with Clyde?

Ji Li's eyes began to focus on this new store manager who had had many interactions with him, and he saw that he was trying his best to connect death with the short article. Clyde tried to use this line of thinking to reverse Hou Guisheng's thinking, or to point out the extreme point of view.

"So true..."

Ji Li couldn't help but start to recall Clyde's scenes since he came to Orange Lake Castle.

A visit to an art gallery, judged by his own experience;

The death of White Wolf in the auditorium, the performance of losing a team member as a store manager;

After the fire of karma burned the two to death, he faced Hou Guisheng's excessive behavior and pointed out what was the most correct direction of thinking...

Clyde's performance was "perfect" from beginning to end, without a single flaw.

The argument between Hou Guisheng and Clyde continues.

What Hou Guisheng argued was the content of the four "ta" in the first short article, combined with the concept of the Heart-Eating Demon, and his firm belief that there is a certain "demon" hidden in the team of eight store managers.

Clyde strongly refuted this, believing that the contents of the essay were not credible and that the purpose of the essay was to make people suspicious of each other and confuse people's minds.

To be fair, Clyde's idea of ​​the two is the most stable and most likely to be established.

However, Hou Guisheng's idea may be another more convenient way, killing a few people until he finds him and confronts him directly.

On the way, Ji Li suddenly saw that Huangfu Jiajia had arrived near the fireplace without knowing when, and had already grabbed her bare feet in the furnace.

"Hiss!"

The sound of a piece of leather being torn interrupted everyone's thoughts and focused everyone's attention on Huangfu Jiajia.

What she was holding in her hands now was a pair of severed feet, with cracked rotten skin and rotten flesh at the ankles.

Suddenly falling into silence, Huangfu Jiajia held the severed feet, raised a pair of bright eyes, and began to speak with a somewhat rapid breathing:

"Mochou died. She called my name before she died. The reason is that the person who killed her was me.

It was me who was devoured by the Heart-Eating Demon and turned into a demon.

I lowered my head not to look at Mochou's ashes, but to look at myself.

The person in this furnace is the real me, the me who has long since died and rotted away. ”

Huangfu Jiajia's tone was strange, and what she said was incomprehensible and illogical.

According to her words, she seemed to have died a long time ago, and her body was hanging in the stove, but she did not know it before.

It was Li Mochou's call before she died that made her realize the changes in herself, so after self-examination, she went to find the corpse in the fireplace with a vague sense.

If explained this way, then the person who was swallowed by the Heart-Eating Demon, the "demon" that has been hidden within the eight store managers, has self-destructed.

But it's definitely not that simple.

Then Huangfu Jiajia raised his finger and pointed at Hou Guisheng and others one by one.

"I'm not the only one. You are all substitutes for the Heart Eater. We are all dead and deserve to die."

Say it.

Following the collapse of the southern study wall, the east, west, and north walls also collapsed at the same time. Since then, the study has completely disappeared.

A larger space is exposed to the public and merged into a complete bedroom from four directions.

At the same time, in addition to Huangfu Jiajia's corpse in the fireplace on the south side, there were three corpses hanging in the other three directions, two of which were facing outward, none other than Hou Guisheng and Clyde.

Only the last corpse turned its back to everyone, blocking its identity with its rotting back.

When the identity of the corpse corresponded to that of the store manager, Huangfu Jiajia, Hou Guisheng, and Clyde began to rot at the same time one after another.

At the moment of death, Luo Xian wore a mask and began to chant the third short text:

"Heart-eating is the suffix of death, and demonization is the evidence of lies.

He, she, it, it died burdened with sin.

The living people will eventually lose his favor, because even those who are sober like you have already been devoured by their hearts. ”

Ji Li's expression finally changed drastically at this moment.
