Chapter 15 - Family Portrait 11 I hate them.

All the furniture was lying on the floor in a mess, and the ears were filled with the sound of clanging and banging, which made the people who were smashing things feel panic. To Shi Yu's left was a broken desk lamp, with the fragments of the lampshade scattered on the ground.

Ying Zhuo's hand was propped up in the pile of debris, covered in blood.

Shi Yu suddenly felt a little confused and looked at the man who was supporting himself. There was a hint of sharpness and a sense of formidable danger on his profile.

Shi Yu followed his line of sight and saw a mass of black mist on the ceiling slowly lingering together, gradually forming something similar to human facial features floating on the ceiling.

The ceiling is like its face, and those lingering around the ceiling are its facial features.

The black eyes, black nose and black mouth opened and closed, making a hissing laugh.

Shi Yu looked at the mist, then glanced at Ying Zhuo who had just stood up. His face was embedded in the darkness, and he was looking at the ghost face on the ceiling with a captivating gaze.

The ghost face on the ceiling didn't say anything, just laughed.

The black mist gradually transformed from a Gaussian blur into a solid entity, and its nose had gradually taken shape. Ying Zhuo's voice also began to become anxious: "If it becomes a solid entity, we will all die."

"How can we stop it from becoming a solid entity?" Shi Yu knew nothing about metaphysics, so he quickly asked Ying Zhuo for advice.

"Some people die of natural causes, some die unjustly, and some commit suicide. They all feel unwilling to accept their fate after death. And these unwillingness will turn into resentment, and evil spirits can absorb the resentment of other ghosts and turn it into their own power." Ying Zhuo turned half of his body to the side to protect the girl under him. He tilted his face slightly to look at the creepy ghost face on the ceiling, stretched out his left hand, and made a claw shape with his little finger, ring finger and thumb, with his index finger and middle finger raised, the former covering the latter, and made a gesture that Shi Yu could not understand but thought was very powerful.

The ghost doll laughed: "Your power seems to be very strong, but it comes and goes. Do you think you can save everyone?"

Hu Fang was going crazy: "Help, the great wizard with magical powers, the young lady who can fly over eaves and walls! Show your magical powers!!!"

Leng Xinyu howled: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

Shi Yu had actually guessed the truth of the whole thing, but there were still some details that she couldn't sort out. She looked at the ghost face that was gradually taking shape and glanced at the final countdown of the game on her watch.

There are only 120 seconds left.

These 120 seconds should be the time it takes for the ghost face to take shape, which means that after 120 seconds, the game is over and they will die because they have not found the truth of the matter.

Shi Yu sat up from the ground, flicked the dirt off her body and looked at the "little boy" on the ceiling: "Li Sirui, you did all this, right?"

Hu Fang and Leng Xinyu were stunned: "Ah?"

Shi Yu continued: "It was you who swapped 'paraquat' and Coke, and then poured the real 'paraquat' into the fish soup consumed by your family of three, right?" "

What?!" Hu Fang was speechless. "The son poisoned his own parents?"

Is this possible?

There was no wind around, but the mist seemed to be blown back and forth by a gust of wind, and the facial features that were originally condensed into a ball loosened a little, just like leaves piled together being blown away by the wind. But the ghost doll absorbed a lot of resentment, and all the black fog from all directions was absorbed by it.

It turns out that saying the right thing can help ease the resentment.

She continued, "The tragedy of the murder of the three members of the Li family was caused by an internal family tragedy. Your mother was an employee of a chemical factory, and she liked to go out and play cards. I don't know how she met Mr. Zhang, the owner of the Xingfu Restaurant, and they had an extramarital affair, which was discovered by your father. This incident became the fuse for the breakdown of your parents' marriage, and also the reason why you killed your father and your mother."

The black fog of the ghost doll was like a tornado, forming a vortex at the position of its mouth. The vortex was bottomless, as if a bottomless abyss could suck the four people in and swallow them into its stomach at any time. It said:

- "You are so stupid. If I had poisoned you, why would I have drunk the fish soup that night?"

Although it was mocking Shi Yu, Shi Yu saw the mist floating in the air, and he became more certain in his heart: "Your father won a million in the lottery, and your mother will soon become the owner of a restaurant. But neither of them wants you. On July 20, your parents quarreled again over your custody. The hot-tempered Li Feng picked up a fruit knife and stabbed Wang Ying."

A twelve-year-old child.

The most innocent age, when one is ignorant of the world.

He was very happy. He held his mother with one hand and his father with the other, wanting to use his small body to mend the two couples who were about to divorce.

He is his father and mother's child. Isn't it said that children are the apple of their parents' eyes? If he is obedient, goes to school well and becomes a model student. It will definitely make mom and dad happy and they will never quarrel again.

The innocent child thought so and smiled happily.

It was very hot that day, so hot that he felt like he had been washed by water, but he still wore the baseball cap his father had given him, just like in the past, when his father would hug him and his mother and sit on the sofa to watch the news, and prick them with his rough stubble. Then the mother would laugh and push, and the three of them would laugh and play happily, just like millions of ordinary families in the world.

"Then what did I do?"

Shi Yu snorted, "You have been observing all the time. You saw Dad's lottery ticket and Mom's paraquat. Although you didn't say anything, you knew everything. On your 12th birthday, you made a wish to the cake, that is, the family can be together forever. And the only way to achieve this is also presented on the lens of that family portrait."

The paper tape was sewn together, and the word that appeared was clearly visible.

die.

If the three members of a family die, they can be together forever.

Li Sirui smiled, and the mist from his smile flew up, like a ball of evil air rushing towards the four people.

Hu Fang and Leng Xinyu were so scared that they squatted down with their heads in their hands, but the black fog did not have any lethality. It just surrounded them and spun around. As it spun, there seemed to be the figure of a little boy in the black fog.

I can't see it clearly, I can only see a rough outline.

Because the light is so dim, the light provided by the watch appears very weak in the black fog. It was precisely because of this that Hu Fang and Leng Xinyu looked at the strange scene before them as if they had lost their souls, and their hearts seemed to be tightened as if someone was grasping them.

Shi Yu could feel that the child was standing right in front of her.

She could even feel an aura emanating from the child that was colder than the ancient Hanchuan. According to Ying Zhuo's explanation, this should be evil spirit.

The feeling that is so cold that it chills the heart, as if one is placed in an ice cellar.

The coldness penetrated every inch of her skin, like an invisible knife, rubbing against Shi Yu's skin, as if it could tear her apart in the next second.

"Do you still love your parents?" Shi Yu asked.

In the black fog, it was so dark that people couldn't see anything clearly and dared not walk around.

They seemed to have entered a territory belonging to evil creatures and could not move an inch.

Hearing Shi Yu's question, the ghost doll suddenly laughed. The childish yet sharp laughter was like the sound of fingernails scratching on an iron plate, which made people feel very uncomfortable both physically and mentally.

"I hate them."
