Chapter 19 Hanging the Corpse


    Xu Huo looked forward and saw an old Chinese-style villa standing at the end of the path. There were no street lights outside. The only source of light was the white lantern in the mouth of the stone lion at the door. The weak light only illuminated a few square meters in front of the door. Just enough to see clearly the few people standing there.


    ?Standing next to the door is a tall foreign guy with blond hair and blue eyes. He is talking to a young man next to him who is carrying a denim jacket. To the left of the young man is a muscular man squatting and smoking.


    ?Beside the stone lion a few steps away, stood a middle-aged man in a straight suit. He was well-dressed and looked like a successful man. There was a female player on his left and right, one with long hair and one with short hair. They were very close to him, but their eyes fell on a greasy middle-aged man opposite with half of his head, looking disgusted.


    Behind the middle-aged bald man are a man and a woman. The man is wearing brand names and looks arrogant, while the woman is wearing smoky makeup and has an intimate expression.


    There is also a young man who looks like a college student standing alone next to him.


    Ten people in total.


    The ten people were impatient to wait. When they saw Yuan Yao and Xu Huo who had arrived late, their expressions were quite unkind. The muscular man stood up abruptly and said, "Why don''t you wait until dawn? You are so cowardly to go home to nurse." Go ahead and play some copy!"


    ? Xu Huo was knocked out by Yuan Yao who was retreating. He smiled and handed over the cigarette, "Brother, calm down, the car will arrive at this time, and there is nothing I can do."


    ??The muscular man snorted and opened his hand.


    The cowboy man next to him said in a nonchalant manner: "We are all in the same boat now, why should we hurt our friendship?"


    "It''s hard to say whether they are on the same boat or not." The middle-aged bald man stared at the two female players and said in a strange way: "You will have to take off your clothes to find out."


    ??The long-haired female player has thick black hair that reaches her waist. She looks innocent and pleasant. She is disgusted with the middle-aged man''s malice, but she just frowned and said nothing.


    The female gamer with short hair looked lively, capable, and more aggressive. She said bluntly: "When I see a woman, I want someone to take off her clothes. Why don''t you let your mother take it off for you? Oh, an ugly, bald, **** like you." , If I were your mother, I would wish I had never given birth to you!"


    ?The middle-aged man was bald and his skin was red and purple. He rushed over and was about to hit someone. At this time, the man in the suit took action, blocked his slap and said, "What do grown men care about with women?"


    ??The foreign guy also came over to pull him over and said in Mandarin, "Wan, be a gentleman!"


    Although the middle-aged bald man, who was called "Wan" by the foreign guys, had the upper hand in terms of physique, he was so stunned that the two of them could not move. Seeing that everyone else was laughing at him, he turned around and charged at Xu Huo and Yuan Yao when he couldn''t save his face. Shouted: "What are you looking at!"


    Xu Huo smiled and said nothing. These people must have known each other, but the process was not pleasant.


    “I said you are talking about what you have nothing to lose?” The rich second-generation man hugged his smoky makeup and said displeasedly: “The fog is getting heavier and heavier outside, how long are you going to drink the wind here?”


    The rich second generation arrived relatively early, thinking that they would be able to seize the opportunity early, but who would have thought that they would not be able to enter the villa until everyone arrived.


    The man in the suit checked the time and said, "The place covered by the fog should not belong to the dungeon. Everyone knows about the game content. There is a head-decapitating demon wandering in the villa. If we stay here, we might be in danger."


    "Then what are you waiting for? Come in quickly." The muscular man called the door immediately, "Is there anyone alive? Open the door!"


    The wooden door was banged, but no one answered.


    "Perhaps the door won''t open until twelve o''clock." Xu Huo said later.


    The muscular man frowned, "I don''t believe in this evil!"


    After saying that, he kicked the door. Unexpectedly, before his foot could reach it, the wooden door opened with a creak. He couldn''t bear the strength and fell in with a muffled sound.


    ?The people outside the door laughed out loud in twos and threes, and the rich second generation followed him gloatingly, "Don''t look at your watch, it''s exactly twelve o''clock now."


    The remaining eleven people entered the villa. The inside of the villa was no better than the outside. What lay in front of them was a garden with dense green plants. Except for a cobblestone path that ran through it, people could barely pass through it. The rest of the garden was so crowded that it was difficult to enter.


    ??However, you can see a few street lights along the path, and there are signs saying registration ahead.


    “Why are the trees so thick here?” Smokey Eyes complained, “No one has pruned them.”


    “It’s not surprising, maybe no one has lived here for a long time.” The rich second generation said.


    "There should be someone living there." The man in a suit said: "The gravel road is clean, with no fallen leaves or dust. Someone must have cleaned it regularly. It doesn''t look like there is a lot of people living around here. It''s inconvenient to go up and down the mountain, so it''s more reasonable to live here."


    "Holy shit! That''s the NPC! This idiot won''t come out and open the door!" The muscular man rolled up his sleeves and cursed, "Where are the people? Where did they die!"


    “Gudong!” The long-haired female player walking behind swallowed her saliva, pointed at a place in the bushes, and said with a cry: “Do you think that’s a person...”


    ??Everyone turned around and saw an extraordinarily tall tree sticking out of the dark forest. There were two black shadows hanging on the branches, and a heavy object was swinging below!


    Killed? !


    "Come over and have a look!" A group of people searched in the woods for a while before they discovered that there was a narrow path against the wall at the door, which just led to the direction of the tall tree.


    But it was too late when it passed, and the man was hanging so quietly on the tree, his tongue hanging out, and his saliva dripping down.


    “Ugh!” The long-haired female player’s knees softened and she knelt on the ground.


    ?The faces of the other players are not very good either. This person should be from the Villa and may know some inside information about the Villa, but what a coincidence, the person died as soon as they arrived, as if someone was keeping time to kill people and then let them find out.


    ??Although I don’t know if the murderer is the head-decapitating demon mentioned in the copy, it is simply chilling to have such a murderer staring at them around!


    "I think he might have committed suicide." Xu Huo walked around and said back.


    In fact, the situation nearby is clear at a glance. Under the tree where the man hanged himself is a small wooden house of several square meters, with only a bed and some logging tools.


    There are several tombs behind the wooden house, one of which is new, and the paper money on the ground is not rotten.


    He patted the pile of wood piled high at the feet of the corpse, "It''s just a height for people to climb up and hang it up."


    "Perhaps he was hung alive." The middle-aged bald man said, "He is not the only one here."


    “But according to the copy, doesn’t the Head-Beheading Demon behead people?” The foreign guy was puzzled.


    ??The man in the suit briefly inspected the body of the hanged man and said with a complicated expression: "Maybe he really hanged himself."


    “He must have been sick for a long time, and his body is covered with pustules.”


    Xu Huo went over and lifted the corpse''s shoulders to take a look. Large green pustules covered the back, and no trace of the original skin could be seen.


    Yuan Yao came over and said, "Brother Xu, have you discovered anything?"
