Chapter 8 is strange

In front of the sofa in this direction, after passing through a long stretch of air, a bedroom comes into view. The bedroom door is quietly closed. I walk towards this bedroom as if entranced, my fingers brushing against the door, searching for any small holes. I examined it thoroughly, both up and down, but found no signs of damage on the bedroom door. Could it be that these holes are merely coincidences, that I am truly overthinking due to my overly sensitive nerves?

I also have no clue at all; there are more than just a few strange aspects about this community. Moreover, aside from this community, Nie Huayu's home is also quite peculiar. However, I did not express any of these thoughts, as I did not want to unnecessarily frighten Nie Huayu

Hey! Nie Huayu gave me a hard slap.

However, after that, I no longer had the extra mental energy to think about it. Nie Huayu said she wanted to prepare a big meal. After taking a fish out of the pool, she didn't know how to handle it, saying it was bought the day before yesterday and she intended to keep it for food. The fish was still alive, and she asked me to kill it. The most I have ever eaten in my life is instant noodles; I hardly know how to cook or stir-fry, let alone kill a fish. It took me quite a while in a flurry to finally kill the fish, and the kitchen ended up in a complete mess. Nie Huayu's obsessive-compulsive disorder flared up, and she insisted that I clean up. She even brought me an apron, joking that I was a househusband. That girl, if it weren't for my good temper and unwillingness to argue with her, I would have long since swept the broom against her forehead.

"Are you unable to see clearly because you took off your glasses?" Nie Huayu asked me with concern, handing me the glasses as well

Of course, I would not be disdainful; this bedroom is much better than the basement room I rented. Before I entered the house, I glanced at the door of the bedroom. The bottom of the door was somewhat damaged, exposing the wood inside, which looked rather shabby. After that, I walked into the bedroom.

I was taken aback and turned to look at her: "Is this your bedroom?"

"What is your eyesight? I feel like you can't do without glasses," Nie Huayu said again.

Forget it, I won't chat with someone as dull as you! I'm hungry, I'm going to make something to eat! Hmph!" Nie Huayu huffed as she stood up and headed to the kitchen

"Hey, there is water on your glasses frame." Nie Huayu stood on her tiptoes, and before I could react, she took my glasses off.

"Otherwise? Otherwise, it's yours!" She glared at me while holding the shovel and said, "Do not do anything perverse! Come over and help me out!"

"Bai Ling, what are you doing?" Nie Huayu's voice came from behind: "What are you doing loitering outside my bedroom door? That's creepy."

In this bedroom, there is also a desk. I am looking around when Nie Huayu says she will go get me a pillow and then leaves the room. I sit on the chair next to the desk, which faces the bed. The bed is against the wall, and there are several posters on the wall, ... of celebrities. My gaze moves downward, from the poster to the bed, and then to under the bed ...? ... Wait, what is that?

The holes in the wall cabinet and the coffee table are aligned in the same direction, so...! ... I looked in the direction of the coffee table and saw the sofa! I ran over in that direction, pulled aside the decorative cloth hanging on the sofa, and sure enough, I found an identical small hole on the sofa...! That small hole was also connected, passing through the sofa, leading to... ... I walked around the sofa and looked ahead in the same direction.! That small hole was also connected, passing through the sofa, leading to... ... I walked around the sofa and looked ahead in the same direction.

I shook my head with a smile, stood up, and thought about going to the kitchen to help her. I walked a bit hurriedly and accidentally tripped over the coffee table. Underneath Nie Huayu's coffee table was a movable drawer, which slid open. Inside the drawer were some medicines and emergency bandages. I bent down to close the drawer, but suddenly noticed a hole in one corner of the drawer.

I suddenly woke up, and everything before my eyes returned to its original state

In an instant, I saw her kitchen transform. The white walls suddenly dulled in color, and patches of paint began to peel off, quickly becoming dilapidated. The pots, spatulas, and bowls were similarly worn down. Water continuously flowed from the faucet, bubbling up as if the sink were clogged. Suddenly, a multitude of hairs appeared in the water, densely packed, beginning to escape from the sink, falling to the ground, and then continuing to crawl towards me from the floor.

Nie Huayu was successfully diverted from the topic and went to prepare dinner

This meal was the most sumptuous I have ever had. During the meal, I asked Nie Huayu about any unusual occurrences in the community. Nie Huayu informed me that, in addition to the woman she mentioned who had died, two other individuals had also died in their community recently. The police determined that all were suicides, but none of these individuals had any motive for suicide. The police could not uncover anything further, and the matter was left unresolved.

I discovered two black marks at the inner end under the bed, which seemed rather strange. I then got up and walked to the side of the bed, crouched down to look underneath. There was nothing placed inside the bed frame; it was quite empty. The black marks were on the wall at the foot of the bed. I reached in, as the light was relatively sufficient, and I could clearly see what these two black marks were: they were two footprints

I put on my glasses and looked over again; Nie Huayu's kitchen was clean and tidy, the walls were freshly painted without any peeling, and the sink was not clogged with hair. The scene I had just witnessed seemed like an illusion, as if it were my own illusion.

"Miss, please stop. I am truly impressed by her: 'I can agree to stay tonight, but I must leave tomorrow, as I still need to look for a job.'"

It is generally considered normal for a drawer to have a hole, but my intuition suggests that the hole in the drawer is related to the hole in the wooden fish on the wall cabinet. I raised my head, and directly in front of the drawer was the wall cabinet, with the wooden fish placed on that table. Indeed, there was also a hole on the table. I couldn't help but take a closer look at this hole, moving aside several medicine boxes. I discovered that there was also a hole at the bottom of the drawer, which was connected. After studying it for a long time, I couldn't find any clues. Feeling perplexed, I had no choice but to give up, close the drawer, and straighten up. Indeed, there was also a hole on the table.

My eyes are not nearsighted, but I do not wish to elaborate too much. I smiled at her and brushed off the topic: "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

I let out a sound and walked towards her direction, pondering in my heart what the significance was of these points forming a line leading to the hole in Nie Huayu's room

What is going on with this hole? Could it be another coincidence? By the way! The direction!

"Bai Ling, you are not being considerate!" Nie Huayu puffed her cheeks like a bun, looking quite adorable: "As a girl, I don't think much of it, yet you, a grown man, are being so coy. Are you afraid that I might eat you up?"

After the meal, Nie Huayu helped me tidy up my room, pointing to the one on the left: "I have brought you a quilt and bed sheets. This bedroom has been unoccupied for years, but I clean it every three to five days, so it is very clean. Please do not be picky."

At first glance, a girl like Nie Huayu appears to be an innocent young girl who is unaware of the ways of the world. Is this kind of joke something that can be made with men? ... Especially in such a situation with just one man and one woman, it is also because I am a good person and have no ulterior motives towards her; otherwise, with someone else, who knows what might happen...
