The boy looked like he was only in his early teen years but because his skin was rotten, they couldn't tell what his original face looked like. The boy's skin was almost transparent. He didn't wear any clothes, and they could clearly see his dark purple vessels all over his body.

The little boy slapped Hu Fang. (Lol. Deserved. Who told you to come first huh?)

Hu Fang widened his eyes and sat on the ground with a "God", his legs shaking like a candy sieve.

He also didn't expect that after opening the door, he would be directly attacked by an evil thing. The appearance of the little boy completely destroyed all the psychological preparation Hu Fang had built for so long.

The little boy "hehe" smiled, and the black and red sticky blood kept flowing out of his eye sockets, dropping on his chest to his feet.

The blood emits a strong stench of carrion, pungent and suffocating.

It didn’t say much, and stepped on its feet and ran to the left. It stomped on the floor and made a "dong-dong" sound, just like the sound of a kitchen knife chopping meat on a chopping board. The eye-catching sound disappeared on the left side. On the floor, only a string of child's footprints was left on the floor.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!" Hu Fang screamed while holding his head. (What a coward, dude.)

Leng Xinyu grasped Shi Yu, and looked up at Shi Yu's face, as usual, wishing to put her face in Shi Yu's neck: "Aren't you afraid?"

Shi Yu is helpless, why should she be afraid?

People really are full of fear when it comes to ghosts and gods.

The little ghost boy was obviously not aggressive, not as terrible as the Scythe Knight.

When Shi Yu moved to the light bulb switch, she reached out and pressed it, but found that there was no electric current to provide lighting.

Ying Zhuo handed an electricity bill (from where?) to Shi Yu: "I found this in the crack of the door. Their family owes electricity bills for several months." (ah okay)

Shi Yu looked at his beautiful fingers, a sheet of plain white paper sandwiched between his fingertips.

His finger shape is very beautiful. His hands make it like he was handing out a cheque instead of a bill.

Looking up again, Shi Yu always felt as if she had seen this person somewhere.

After receiving the bill in Ying Zhuo's hand, it was clearly marked that Room 404 owed more than two thousand yuan in electricity and had not been paid, so the power supply of Room 404 was cut off.

In other words, the four of them must be in the dark while exploring this room 404.

Shi Yu was suddenly a little curious: "I remember that there are more than 20 players who survived Death Island. Why are there only four of us here?"

"Perhaps because they went to another game?" Ying Zhuo guessed.

Shi Yu felt that it made sense.

When the little boy appeared just now, he provided some good clues.

"The work of the hostess in this house should be in night shift. The host is very dissatisfied with the night shift and even locks his wife out of the room. According to normal family circumstances, the two are definitely going to quarrel about this." Shi Yu stretched out her left arm, when she entered the game with the Scythe Knight, she found that the watch had a flashlight function, which was very humane.

It's just that the power of the flashlight is very weak, just like a fire candle.

But it is better than nothing.

While looking for more clues, Shi Yu used the flashlight in her watch to illuminate the area she was in.

This is a small home of about 70 square meters, more than enough for a family of three. The overall decoration is a bit old and looks like the style of 20 or 30 years ago. The LCD TV hanging on the wall is only 21 inches, covered with a red and green peony drape.

They were in the living room. The place where the little boy disappeared was a curtain separating the living room in two. When the curtain opened, it showed a square dining table, which looked like the place where the three people usually eat in this family.

Three human figures are outlined with white chalk near the dining table's floor, just like the marks used by the detectives to mark down where they found dead bodies in the real world.

To make a rough distinction, one was lying on the side and died on the floor next to the table, another one died where a stool was tilted, and the child died on a special chair for children.

To take care of children who are not tall enough to reach the table, many families will specially customize the stool legs to be high.

When the child died, he was still sitting on a stool that exceeded his height. The white chalk outlines the final appearance of the family of three before their deaths.

This house once sheltered a family of three from the wind and rain. At this moment, it was like a prison, locking up these three lonely souls.

Three pairs of bowls and chopsticks are placed on the table, and there are three or four discs containing unseen dishes, surrounded by several very active blowflies, entangled with each other in the air while loudly "buzzing".

In the middle of the table, a pot of moldy soup was simmered, and there were a few dead flies beside the pot.

The mold on the soup was piled up like a hill, with red and green colors, and it exuded a pungent smell of rotting.

Shi Yu glanced at the table. There was a long spoon. She held the handle of the spoon and plunged it into the iron pot. Reaching out and stirring the soup, the smell of rotting became more intense.

Hu Fang and Leng Xinyu pinched their noses, their faces twisted into an expression of disgust and silent retching in the darkness.

Shi Yu seemed to have no sense of smell at all. Standing in front of the table, she fished out an unfinished piece of fishbone from the pot.

"Oh, it's fish soup," she said.

Hu Fang and Leng Xinyu: I think your expression management ability is a bit too good.

Ying Zhuo stood opposite the table, and looked at her with a smile: "This family of three died at the table, but the food on the table was not completely eaten, indicating that they died in the process of eating."

This sentence completely speaks to Shi Yu's heart: "Yes, they probably died on food poisoning."

The other flies were very active, only the flies near the fish soup died. It seems that there is a problem with this fish soup.

The cause of death was found out so quickly. Both Hu Fang and Leng Xinyu were very happy. (This two are riding our fl's coattail eh)

But they forgot that this is just the beginning of the game.

Who poisoned the family? why did they poison them, and what happened between the three members of this family?
