"The power outage?" Zhao Nan immediately realized something after entering the room and pressing the switch.

The first floor is a hall, next to it is a kitchen and bathroom, and then there is a staircase. The total area should be about 100 square meters.

"It's strange that there is electricity here." Meng Gui replied to Zhao Nan, then took out a lighter he had found from him from somewhere before and took a photo in the first floor hall.

In the middle of the hall is a sofa and a coffee table, and there is a display cabinet next to it, which contains bottles, jars and some things that seem to be cultural relics.

"This is the old Wu family in the south of the village, right? Ma Gong seems to have said that they lived here last night." Liu Ruifeng recalled something and told everyone.

"The conditions here are much better than the village chief's house and the Wu family's house." Lin Jing looked around and said.

"Well, it would be great if there was no power outage." Zhao Nan's expression of regret.

"There was still electricity just now... it was not that it was dark after the light and the electricity was gone, right?" Meng Gui speculated.

"Light the candle." Lin Jing took out a pack of candles that he had found from somewhere before, took one out and handed it to Meng Gui.

"You are very foresighted..." Meng Gui put the candle to the side of the lighter and lit it.

"Pull the curtains first! Otherwise, someone will find us here when they see the fire." Zhao Nan quickly reminded Meng and the others.

"No, when I came here before, I had closed all the curtains. The windows of this family had curtains, and they were very thick and light-tight." Meng Gui lit the candle and placed it on the coffee table in the middle of the sofa in the hall, giving some light in the hall.

Because I didn't want the light to penetrate the curtains, Meng Gui only lit a candle to light it up in total.

Zhao Nan walked out of the first floor lobby with concern, closed the door and looked out from outside to the window, confirming that the candlelight would not come out of the curtains, and then returned to the house and inserted the iron bolts of the iron door.

"It's already dark outside." Zhao Nan said to everyone after locking the door bolt.

"After the light, night seemed to have come early." Lin Jing replied to Zhao Nan.

"The environment is deteriorating further." Meng Gui nodded.

"Uh... I don't care, I finally feel safer and warmer here." Zhao Nan sat on the sofa, snuggled beside Liu Ruifeng, with a look of relief.

"But I'm almost starving to death." Lin Jing sat down on the sofa opposite and replied to Zhao Nan weakly.

"Don't mention the word hungry... When you say hungry, my stomach will start to scream immediately." Zhao Nan covered her stomach with a very depressed expression.

"Can the candle be eaten? If it can be eaten, I will eat this pack of candles." Lin Jing looked at the candles spread out on the coffee table and started to murmur to herself.

"I found that the only thing I could eat here was human flesh. Unfortunately, Ji De'an's meat was poisoned by the village chief, and Wang Wei was also poisoned to death, otherwise..." Meng Gui didn't say anything halfway.

"Can you not talk about this topic?" Zhao Nan couldn't stand it and stopped Meng Gui from saying a word.

"Great writers, this is not the real world. We... people are actually just a convergence of some kind of thoughts. The so-called corpse is just a certain setting in this different space. If you want to figure out everything and escape from here, you must change yourself and accept many unacceptable things so that you can calmly analyze the situation and make the most favorable choices." Meng Gui and Zhao Nan said.

"What you mean is that we should learn to eat human flesh in order to survive?" Zhao Nan looked at Meng Gui with a strange expression.

"I didn't say that, I just said that all the food in this other world is rotten and moldy, and the only thing left to eat is human flesh. This environment is forcing us to attack and kill each other for survival. Now we are just hungry. If we can't find food tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, if we can't find food, what level will the primitive beast-like nature caused by hunger drive us to develop to? It is simply unpredictable now." Meng Gui continued.

"If you are extremely hungry, will you kill Sister Lin and then eat her meat?" Zhao Nan asked Meng Gui.

"I don't know, but others may not be sure." Meng Gui shook his head.

"I don't know, either. I would rather starve to death than eat human flesh. He would not know how to do Ruifeng." Zhao Nan's expression was determined.

"Master Meng is talking about the village chief and the others... Let's leave Xiaoli there... wouldn't it be too cruel?" Liu Ruifeng showed a worried expression on his face. When he was in the village chief's yard, he and Xiao Zhouli were already familiar with each other.

"This is not the real world. Everything we see here may not be real. It may be virtualized by some powerful force. This is like a Hunger Game, and only those with extremely firm minds will win. Specifically for the situation we encountered this time, I guess the final result is likely to be when there are only two people left, so there will be enough evidence to prove that the other party is a demon, and then the demon can be killed." Lin Jing continued.

"Then, when facing the demon alone, he was finally killed by the demon?" Zhao Nan added.

"So none of the missing people came back alive. Just like now, you think it's safe for us to stay here, but have you ever thought that if the devil is among us?" Lin Jing continued, then glanced at Liu Ruifeng beside Zhao Nan.

"If this is true, it's my life." Zhao Nan leaned against Liu Ruifeng and replied quietly to Lin Jing.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps of dong, dong, dong came from the ceiling of the hall where everyone was...

It doesn't look like the sound of footsteps. If you have to say it is the sound of footsteps, it is like someone jumping on one leg, otherwise the sound of footsteps would not appear so heavy.

"What's going on?" Zhao Nan's face changed immediately. He thought it was safe here, but he didn't expect such a strange thing to happen.

If this place is not safe, then what else is there in Gujing Village safe?

"I'll go up and take a look." Meng Gui hesitated for a moment, then walked carefully to the stairs.

"I'll go with you." Lin Jing followed Meng Gui and went upstairs with him.

When Meng Gui and Lin Jing went upstairs, Zhao Nan felt the first floor lobby suddenly became quiet and deserted. The candlelight on the coffee table swayed inexplicably. With the decrease in temperature, Zhao Nan felt an indescribable chill in his heart.

"Ruifeng, why are there footsteps upstairs? Is there anyone else here?" Zhao Nan asked Liu Ruifeng who was holding her beside him. Of course, he just made some noises to speak so that he could be brave.

No response.

"Ruifeng?" Zhao Nan subconsciously looked back...

Only then did she realize that Liu Ruifeng, whom she had been snuggling with, had actually frozen into an ice sculpture, and her face showed an extremely painful expression and could not move at all.

"ah!!!"

Zhao Nan screamed loudly.

"Xiao Nan! Xiao Nan!" Liu Ruifeng shook Zhao Nan's body and shouted loudly to her.

"Ah..." Zhao Nan looked at Liu Ruifeng who was very normal in front of him, and it took him a long time to finally recover.

"Is there another hallucination?" Liu Ruifeng asked Zhao Nan.

"Yes." Zhao Nan nodded.

"What did you see this time?"

"Nothing." Zhao Nan shook her head. She really couldn't figure out what she saw or was she having hallucinations because she was too worried.

Liu Ruifeng already has three ways of dying in her hallucination, right? What is going on? Will he die? In what way will he die?

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from the building, as if there was a fight. The sound continued just now, but Zhao Nan was caught in an illusion and didn't hear it, but at this time he heard it clearly in his ears.

"What's going on above? Are there monsters? They are fighting?" Zhao Nan snuggled tightly beside Liu Ruifeng and asked him in fear. At this time, it seemed that it would be safer to run outside. What if Meng Gui and Lin Jing were defeated? Wouldn't the monster rush down to kill her and Liu Ruifeng?

But the dark and extremely cold Gujing Village outside made Zhao Nan tremble in his heart when he thought of it.

"Master Meng and the others seem to be fighting with someone." Liu Ruifeng speculated.

"Who would it be?" Zhao Nan's expression became more and more frightened.

"It's hard to say..." Liu Ruifeng shook his head.

The fighting lasted for a long time before it stopped, and then everything became extremely quiet.

If the battle is over, why won’t Master Meng and the others come down yet? Could it be that they were killed by monsters?

"Who won the battle?" Zhao Nan asked Liu Ruifeng beside him.

"I'll go up and take a look?" Liu Ruifeng said to Zhao Nan.

"Don't..." Zhao Nan quickly grabbed Liu Ruifeng's arm.

"If Master Meng and the others won, why can't they come down yet? If they lose..." Liu Ruifeng didn't continue, and he was obviously worried about this matter.

"If they lose, the man or...the monster upstairs should come down to kill us." Zhao Nan replied in a trembling voice.

Zhao Nan's voice is trembling now not only because of fear, but also because of the cold. The temperature of the air seems to be further lowering and becoming colder.

At this moment, a painful moan came from the second floor, as if it were Lin Jing's voice, which was faintly visible and could not be heard very clearly in the darkness.

"Master Meng! Miss Lin!" Liu Ruifeng shouted twice in the direction of the stairs.

The painful moans came from the upstairs again, as if shouting the words "Save...I..."
