This Actor Is Full Of Tricks

Lin Jue gripped the knife, hiding in the corner between the door and the wall.

A pale hand reached in, pressing against the floor, followed by strands of black hair, twisting and turning on the ground.

Beneath the black hair was a bloodless face, eyes sewn shut with black thread, a ghastly knife wound on her neck still oozing black blood.

It was her!

Only when the woman had completely crawled into the room did Lin Jue recognize her as the corpse that had been stuffed into the suitcase, Mr. Zhu's paralyzed wife.

The mist had transformed this woman into a ghoul.

The woman's trouser legs were empty, she supported herself with her hands as she crawled into the room, with each movement, the mud clinging to her clothes scattered, mixing with the blood to form a black slurry.

"The black aura isn't very strong, about the same as Li Cheng's, so their strength shouldn't be too different. I can handle this."

Lin Jue hid in the corner, but he didn't rush to attack.

He watched as the woman first crawled into the bathroom, then crawled around the room, and finally used both hands to climb up the wall to the ceiling.

A terrifying woman was crawling on the ceiling. This horrifying scene would have caused an ordinary person's mind to go blank, but Lin Jue's eyes were only filled with doubt.

"Didn't this woman see me? Is it because her eyes are sewn shut?"

"What is she looking for?"

"It should be her husband. Debts have debtors, grievances have avengers. Her husband murdered her father and imprisoned her for four years, and in the end, even she died tragically. Now that she has become a ghoul, she has returned to find the murderer."

Lin Jue analyzed, but one question continued to plague him: this woman had been to 101, so why hadn't she found Mr. Zhu?

He was certain that Mr. Zhu was at home today, after all, he had been observing Mr. Zhu's movements.

"The room is so small, there's no way to hide. Either this woman's eyes are sewn shut and she can't see anything, or something is hiding Mr. Zhu."

The woman crawled down from the ceiling and stopped at Lin Jue's bedside, sniffing carefully.

Then, she suddenly turned her head, her eyes sewn shut with black thread turning towards the spot where Lin Jue was hiding.

She saw me?

Lin Jue was slightly stunned, putting on a look of nervousness, fear, and trembling, while the knife hidden behind his back quietly ignited with wisps of flame.

But the woman didn't make any movements, instead, she opened her mouth.

Ah… Ah…

Just like the previous two times, there was no sound, but the mouth shape was exactly the same.

The woman repeated this mouth shape several times before crawling out of the room and heading towards 203 along the corridor.

"This woman doesn't harbor any malice towards me. Ghouls don't kill indiscriminately?"

The flames on the knife extinguished, and Lin Jue finally understood what the woman was saying.

Run! Run! Run!

Because they were all open vowel sounds and the mouth shapes were similar, Lin Jue had previously thought it was 'Ah Ah Ah'.

But after carefully observing it a few times just now, the woman was clearly telling him to run.

"Why should I run? Does Mr. Zhu know that I've discovered his secret and is preparing to kill me to silence me?"

Lin Jue walked to the window and looked at the open space outside.

Then, he put the knife in his arms, hung up the camera, and walked out of the room.

… …

"Ah!"

A scream broke the silence of the night, coming from room 204. The drunkard must have been frightened by that woman.

Along with the scream, the door to 101 opened silently, and Mr. Zhu poked his head out of the room, looked around, and then sneaked up to the second floor along the corridor.

Muddy footprints went up to the third floor along the second-floor stairs. It seemed that the woman went directly upstairs after going to 204.

Mr. Zhu swallowed, carefully crossed the corridor, and came to 202.

"Why is the door open?"

Mr. Zhu's right hand was hidden in his sleeve, looking at the dark room, he was a little afraid to go in for a moment.

Could it be that Wang Tianshu was so scared that he fainted and forgot to close the door?

Thinking about it this way, he didn't hear Wang Tianshu's scream just now. Given that guy's personality, he must have been frightened silly.

It was convenient to make a move and avoid too much noise from resistance.

He knew that the woman was coming for him. Wang Tianshu shouldn't have been killed by the woman, he was probably just scared unconscious.

A cold glint flashed in Mr. Zhu's eyes as he walked into 202.

"Where is he?"

What he didn't expect was that there was no one in the room at all.

How was that possible? Could it be that this guy went out on a foggy day and hadn't come back?

Mr. Zhu searched every corner of the room, finally stopping at the bed.

The quilt was messy, and traces of someone lying on the sheets could still be seen.

This guy was in the room not long ago! Where did he go now?

His gaze turned to the window, and he suddenly realized something, walking over.

Looking out the window, there was a figure in the pile of weeds, holding a shovel from nowhere, digging something.

… …

"Heh heh, this guy…"

Lin Jue looked at the bones exposed in the pit, no wonder the woman told him to run.

This guy not only killed his father-in-law, but it seemed that he had also killed tenants.

The bones in the pit were of different sizes, obviously not belonging to the same person, but from different people. Judging by the number, there should be three corpses buried here.

Besides the corpse of his father-in-law, that is to say, Mr. Zhu had killed at least two tenants.

Lin Jue pointed the camera at the pit, filming the tragic scene inside. Most likely these tenants were also curious about Mr. Zhu's wife's affairs, which aroused Mr. Zhu's murderous intent.

And the woman asked him to run, certainly knowing that Mr. Zhu wanted to kill him.

Even after being so abused, even after becoming a ghoul full of resentment, that woman retained a trace of kindness.

Lin Jue couldn't express the feeling in his heart. He raised the camera and looked back upstairs with a sense of emotion.

In the dark room of 202, Mr. Zhu was standing by the window, looking at him gloomily, then quickly turning around.

"Looks like he's coming for me."

Lin Jue turned off the camera, strode back to the apartment from the open space, and said to himself: "I won't run."

As soon as he walked to the apartment's staircase, he saw Mr. Zhu coming down from the second floor. The other party seemed to not expect that he would dare to come back, his expression stunned.

"Brother Zhu?"

Lin Jue also showed a surprised expression: "It's so late, you, where are you going?"

His expression was as timid as ever, as if the person in the open space just now was not him.

"At this time, what are you still pretending to be with me?"

Mr. Zhu approached step by step, his face gradually becoming ferocious: "You saw it, right?"

"Saw what?"

Seeing that Lin Jue was still pretending to be ignorant, Mr. Zhu no longer concealed it, his eyes fierce: "The corpses buried in the open space, didn't your camera record them all?"

"Why don't you live in a good house, why is your curiosity so heavy?"

"Now it's good, I don't want to kill you, but I have to kill you. Only the dead can keep secrets forever."

"The previous two guys were also like that, wanting to help that stinky woman while I wasn't around, they were all killed by me. Isn't it good to live like the drunkard, muddleheaded?"

When he approached Lin Jue, his right hand hidden in his sleeve finally revealed itself, holding a sharp knife flashing with cold light.

Lin Jue staggered back two steps, seemingly frightened.

At this moment, the sound of dragging and crawling rang out in the stairwell, and the woman's figure appeared at the corner from the first floor to the second floor, crawling downwards.
