“Mrs. Maggie! Arex! Mrs. Maggie…”

Len tried to call out Mrs. Maggie and Arex; however, he could only see mist under the beams of the flashlight.

“What should we do! Branham…” He looked at his friend in panic, and even grabbed his arms in bewilderment.

“Calm down, don’t scare yourself.” Branham took a deep breath, “We should think about where we got lost… Oh, we should go back to the place she parks the car, they may realize that we are lost, so they probably went back to wait for us.”

Len nodded.

They immediately went back. But Len suddenly dropped into a pit carelessly, and cried out painfully.

Now Branham swore at him due to nervousness, “Be careful! You idiot.”

“Pull me out.” Len stretched out his hand.

Branham put out his hand; but while using the flashlight to illuminate the ground, he couldn’t help quivering, “Len… What’s under your body?”

“Don’t scare me.” Len trembled with fright.

He instinctively reached out for the thing under his body…It was warm and soft, not like soil. Len’s look then turned abnormally frightened.

“It’s Mrs. Maggie!!”

Len suddenly got up and shouted in horror! Branham moved his flashlight unconsciously.

When the light was moved to Mrs. Maggie’s head, he found Mrs. Maggie was watching him too.

“Is she still breathing?” Branham subconsciously swallowed saliva, he was still calm— But Len couldn’t keep calm. His fingers quivered, reaching for Mrs. Maggie’s nose.

“No, no!”

…

…

You Ye covered a thin blanket on the little girl, Lena.

It was midnight, long past her bedtime. She was worrying about her mother, but after a long time, her body couldn’t stay up anymore.

So she fell asleep on the sofa.

“Let me go clean the cutleries.” The servant girl walked to Luo Qiu, as she had nothing to do. She said, “I won’t keep the dirty dishes until tomorrow.”

Luo Qiu nodded. As You Ye cleaned up all the tableware and went into the kitchen, Luo Qiu suddenly looked at the clock, and took a glance at Allie.

She sat at one side of the couch, propping her chin, but was dozing off… No internet, a silent environment and worry, people would easily feel tired and fall asleep under such a situation.

Probably.

All of a sudden, Allie’s head slipped from her palm and she woke up. She started to look around, but could only see Gloria, who completely fell asleep on the other side of the couch.

She asked, “They haven’t come back yet?”

Luo Qiu shook his head, “If Miss Allie is sleepy, you can go to the room to have a rest, there are many rooms in this house. And I think taking a shower will help relax yourself.”

Hearing the scrubbing sounds from the kitchen, Allie didn’t ask where You Ye was. She shook her head, “I’m OK, let’s wait for Len and Branham…”

“Hum…” Luo Qiu suddenly stood up and walked up to the little girl Lena.

The little girl turned around as sleeping, and the blanket almost slid down. Boss Luo tucked her in the blanket, and suddenly asked Allie, “Are Len… and Branham Miss Allie’s good friends?”

Allie scratched her hair, took a deep breath after yawning, and then gathered her energy, “Len is my boyfriend, we just started going out.” Branham and Gloria have been together for a long time.”

Boss Luo’s gaze followed Allie’s, who was focused on the other side of the sofa. He nodded, “Did Miss Allie known Miss Gloria for a long time?”

“We were high school classmates and later went to the same university together.” Allie smiled, “She’s always energetic and I’m happy to have met her.”

“Miss Allie is good too.” Boss Luo politely praised.

Allie suddenly faked a smile, without explaining more. She didn’t seem to want to continue this topic, so she asked, “Luo Qiu, why have you built a house in such place?”

It was a lonely area without any other people and family. But the decorations inside the house were apparently very extravagant…

“This is what one of my customers gave me.” Luo Qiu added, “I like the quietness and had nothing to do these days, so I came to live here for a while.”

He sat down again and said indifferently, “An occasional holiday for 2-3 days is a good way to gather one’s energy.”

“Then we won’t bother you.” Allie smiled.

“Never mind.” Luo Qiu shook his head, “There are always many weird things that happened around me. For example… Well, just like Mr. Monster in the story, if it suddenly came out of this lake, I think I wouldn’t be too surprised.”

Allie both hands rubbed her arms due to the scare. She subconsciously saw the dark lake outside the terrace, “As you said that, I seem to have this feeling… It seems to be true.”

Luo Qiu looked at Allie.

And Allie looked at Boss Luo too.

Suddenly, both of them looked on each other with a smile, so that the atmosphere turned light. Allie looked around the living room again, “However, your customer is really generous, though it’s sort of… Well, I mean quiet, but this is a very good house! I’m now curious about what kind of business are you doing? Unexpectedly, the customer is willing to send you such an expensive gift.”

“What business…” Luo Qiu thought for a while, “Probably selling some things that customers need . You know, if people get what they desire, they’ll turn very generous.”

Allie gaped, that was a general concept. It meant he didn’t answer it.

She frowned, “What things do they need…?”

Luo Qiu smiled slightly and said, “Miss Allie could think about what you desire.”

“I?” Allie shrugged, “I think I want them to come back right now.”

But at this moment, she heard the door was knocked. She gaped, then turned excited, “There they are! Luo Qiu, you’re so miraculous. They came back right after I said that. Let me go open the door!”

Luo Qiu stood up.

Allie quickly walked to the doorway and opened the door.

At the moment the door was opened, Allie saw Len and Branham, who walked in with extremely pale faces with a nervous expression.

Len’s lips looked dried, with a little mud on them. He seemed to have taken a tumble.

Allie was stunned, “What happened to you?”

Branham panted heavily, as adjusting his breath. He said quickly, “Corpse! We found a corpse! Mrs. Maggie’s corpse!”

“What?” Allie screamed.

She turned to look back and found the owner walking to them curiously upon hearing her screech.

“What happened?”

Allie quickly said, “Branham, he just said, he found Mrs. Maggie’s …”

She had to keep her voice down, “… Corpse.”

Len looked at Allie at this time, and said with panic, “That’s true! I carelessly dropped into a pit, and then found Mrs. Maggie’s dead body! We got lost and left her before, but unexpectedly…”

“How could this be…” Allie felt inconceivable, “But … Oh yes, is there another person, Arex. Where is he?”

Branham quickly said, “Don’t talk about that guy! We couldn’t see…”

He glanced at Len, and his face suddenly turned serious, “We suspect that maybe that guy…”

“Don’t talk nonsense before getting evidence.” Allie suddenly interrupted.

Branham replied, “But think about it, is it weird that this Arex suddenly showed up? Think of his behavior… just like a psychopath! How could someone carry a such large case here! Think carefully, we don’t see any vehicles of his, but he just walked alone to this house!”

Allie’s thoughts suddenly wavered.

“Box, box?” Len swallowed his saliva at this time, then he said with hesitation, “I mean… Allie, Branham, don’t you feel the box size…”

“What are you trying to say?” Branham asked nervously.

Len swallowed saliva again, “The size is just right… I mean, if it is for fitting an adult…maybe…yes.”

“That box …” Branham frowned.

Oh my god—!!!

At this moment, Allie suddenly heard a scream— that was Gloria’s voice!

Did Gloria wake up as hearing some sound? But Allie was not in the mood to concern what time she woke up.

She walked quickly into the living room, seeing Gloria curled up her body in horror, finger trembled and pointed at the large leather suitcase at the corner.

“Blood…a lot of blood…”

Yes, thick blood was now oozing out from the gap of the suitcase.

Fresh blood was flowing on the floor. Soon it spread across a large area but did not show any signs of letting up.
