Chapter 856: Lin Yu and the Others Reunite with the Silver-Haired Guy
"Is... is he dead?!"
Lin Yu stared at the male corpse in shock.
He was completely at a loss for words.
"He's definitely dead! I just called out to him several times, and he didn't respond to me at all."
"Besides, I even secretly pinched his junk just now, and he didn't react."
The Green-haired Guy took off his top and bottom clothes, wrung them out, and put them back on.
Lin Yu listened to those two comments from the Green-haired Guy. An indescribable feeling welled up inside him.
He really couldn't tell whether this Green-haired Guy just had incredible mental fortitude, or he was addicted to cracking jokes in situations like this. How could he still say things like that at a time like this?
"Then... who killed him?"
At this moment, inside the brightly lit swimming pool, Lin Yu widened his eyes and looked around in every direction. And into the distance.
The swimming pool was deathly silent. The dead of night had settled over this place.
At this moment, Lin Yu only felt that inside this swimming pool, besides the three of them and this corpse, there was no one else.
The Green-haired Guy wrung out his top and bottom clothes, but after that, he still felt uncomfortable all over, so he said to Lin Yu and Zheng Zihan:
"No, I need to head back first and change my clothes. While I'm at it, I'll tell the security guard and the building manager at Alice Apartment about what happened on our side."
Lin Yu thought this was a good idea, so he nodded in agreement.
As for the male corpse, it could only be left here for the time being.
"Rest in peace, brother. I'll catch the killer for you."
Lin Yu pressed his palms together in front of the corpse and offered a silent prayer.
After the two of them left the swimming pool, they planned to find the others.
But they hadn't walked far before they saw three people charging toward them at full speed.
Lin Yu focused his eyes and was instantly overjoyed, because among the three people running toward them, two of them were part of their group.
So he ran toward them as well.
But as the two sides grew closer, Lin Yu's pace gradually slowed down.
Because he could see that the faces of the three people running toward him were all filled with intense terror.
"What happened?!"
Coming to a complete stop, Lin Yu shouted at them.
Among the three, a male with silver hair and quite dark skin shouted back loudly, "RUN!!!"
"Run?!"
Lin Yu was confused.
They seemed to be in a situation where something was chasing them.
But what was chasing them?
He tilted his head slightly and saw, behind the three of them.
A man wearing a Monkey King Mask and wielding a fire axe was striding forward with long, frantic steps.
"Holy mother of god! Did something happen on your side too?!"
Lin Yu turned around and ran, while simultaneously warning his girlfriend Zheng Zihan, who had been standing still the whole time, to run quickly.
But Zheng Zihan didn't budge.
This stunned Lin Yu.
Was his girlfriend really that impressive?
Unfazed even when the sky was falling?
"I! I can't run anymore!"
Along with this gasping, out-of-breath voice.
Lin Yu turned around and finally realized why Zheng Zihan hadn't run.
Because one of the three people behind had already run out of steam.
The one who couldn't run anymore was the only female among the three — the Pink Long-Haired Girl.
"Even if you can't run, you have to run! Unless you want to die!"
The Silver-Haired Guy grabbed the Pink Long-Haired Girl's right hand, trying to drag her along.
But it wasn't working.
The man in his thirties also grabbed the Pink Long-Haired Girl's left hand, helping the Silver-Haired Guy pull her forward.
The Silver-Haired Guy shot him a grateful look, but unfortunately, even with their combined efforts, they still couldn't pull the Pink Long-Haired Girl very far, because she truly couldn't run anymore.
The human body needs regular exercise.
Once you stop exercising for a long time, your physical condition will noticeably decline.
Take the Pink Long-Haired Girl, for example.
Back when she was still in school, during PE class, the PE teacher would force her to run two laps as a warm-up.
Back then, she wouldn't say she was a great runner, but she was definitely better than she was now.
But now?
Since she'd dropped out of school, who would go running?
Seeing that the Pink Long-Haired Girl couldn't run anymore, the Silver-Haired Guy couldn't just abandon her, so both of them stopped.
The Silver-Haired Guy looked behind them. And what he saw nearly scared him to death.
The Monkey King Mask man who had been chasing them had also stopped, about three meters away from them.
Had he also run out of breath?
The Silver-Haired Guy quietly told the Pink Long-Haired Girl to rest quickly, while he turned back to keep a close watch on the Monkey King Mask man behind them.
Afraid he might make any other move.
Because the Monkey King Mask man, the culprit who had caused this entire escape situation, had stopped.
So now, all the people in this area were like four-wheel-drive toy cars that had lost their motor.
Completely silent.
So much so that Lin Yu actually walked back a few steps and asked the Silver-Haired Guy, "What happened on your side?"
The Silver-Haired Guy was also recovering his strength and replied in the simplest words possible.
After hearing what the Silver-Haired Guy had been through.
Lin Yu was shocked: "Someone died on your side too?!"
After hearing that, the Silver-Haired Guy was very surprised: "What do you mean 'too'? Don't tell me you guys..."
Lin Yu nodded.
All of a sudden.
Everyone present felt chills run through their bodies, as if the temperature around them had dropped significantly, and a cold wind was crawling up from the soles of their feet straight into their brains.
What was going on? What exactly was going on? Why had one of their friends died here, and that wasn't enough — now a second one had died too? Murders like this, which they'd normally only see on TV or their phones, were actually happening one after another right beside them?
"Hmm? Another one died?"
The Monkey King Mask man over there suddenly said in a puzzled tone.
The Silver-Haired Guy and the others turned their heads to look at him.
The Monkey King Mask man then did something that no one present expected — he actually tossed his fire axe to the ground, and then with both hands, took off the Monkey King Mask he was wearing.
After taking it off, it revealed the face of a man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
The Silver-Haired Guy and the others had no idea why he was taking off his mask. They just heard this Monkey King Mask man say slowly:
"I'm done playing, I'm done playing. If I keep this up, things are really going to get out of hand."
The Silver-Haired Guy and the others were completely confused. What did he mean? Done playing? Meaning he wouldn't chase them with an axe anymore? But you've already killed someone. Just because you killed one person, do you think you can just stop whenever you want and pretend nothing ever happened?
Seeing the reactions written all over their faces, the Monkey King Mask man quickly waved his hands at them:
"Don't misunderstand. What I'm trying to say is, I never killed anyone. That purple-haired guy, he wasn't killed by me at all."
"You're lying! You were chasing us earlier, and you even admitted it! Now you're denying it?!"
The Pink Long-Haired Girl shouted at the Monkey King Mask man with extreme agitation.
After all, the one who died was her boyfriend. If she didn't stand up for him, who would?
At this critical moment, the Monkey King Mask man actually let out a yawn and stretched his arms, as if staying up this late without sleeping was really taking a toll on him.
