Chapter 173 After the Old House Caught Fire (23)

It's really interesting that Yu Baobao is doing the same thing as her and yet wants to look down on her.

The screams coming from not far away broke the strange atmosphere between the three people. Damien was the first to react. He said: "Hide quickly!"

The three of them hid in a dark alley, holding their breath, and saw a figure slowly approaching from a distance.

It was a man in a police uniform, which should have made people feel reassured. However, the man had no face and was a bloody mess. The sight of him in the night was chilling and challenging to one's nerves.

What was even more terrifying was that he was dragging a mutilated corpse in each hand. They were two unlucky guys among the three new men who had arrived not long ago.

The faceless man sighed in distress, "I've already told you not to come to me for trivial matters that have nothing to do with your life, and even more so not to come to me for major matters that have to do with your life. You have to disturb my peace."

He squatted down, tore off the skins of the two men, carefully selected them for a long time, and finally put the skin that he was slightly satisfied with on his own face.

Then he had a new face, grinning with satisfaction.

Seeing such a strange scene, Yu Baobao's legs went weak. Fortunately, Damien supported her body so she did not fall down and make any noise.

When the policeman with a new face walked away humming a song, the three people hiding in the alley slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

But a brief escape will only make people more worried about what will happen next.

Yu Baobao whispered: "Can we...really get out?"

Damien looked in one direction, his brows becoming more and more resolute, and the deep meaning hidden in his eyes gradually emerged. He said: "We will definitely get out."

The night wind blew, and the shadows of the trees hit the glass windows, making quite a noise.

When Chu Xiang opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the colorful and exaggerated ceiling. She was distracted, sat up from the bed, looked around, and realized that this was Eugene's room.

Eugene looked mature and steady, with no desire for material things, but his room was full of decorations inlaid with gold and silver, which showed that he was a very particular person.

Eugene was not in the room. He was probably busy with work. After all, sometimes guests would come unexpectedly in the middle of the night and he needed to deal with them.

Chu Xiang got off the bed. The secret feeling coming from her body made her feel inexplicably ashamed. She seemed to have had a wet dream, but after waking up, she could not remember clearly what happened in the dream.

She thought to herself that she was really unsatisfied, which was why she dreamed about such unspeakable things.

The night wind is still howling outside the window, and it seems that a rainstorm will come at any time. However, the moon is high in the sky, and the cold moonlight is not weak but strong. The world painted with cold colors feels a little more unreal.

Chu Xiang picked up Eugene's coat and put it on, then walked out of the room.

Eugene's room is on the sixth floor of the apartment, or you could say the entire sixth floor belongs to him because he is the only one living there.

The lights in the corridor were dim, and there were oil paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. The protagonists in the paintings were different, but when they smiled, the curve of the corners of their mouths were exactly the same.

People walking among them feel as if they are being stared at by them, and it is inevitable that their scalps will feel tingling and they will get goose bumps all over their bodies.

Chu Xiang knew that these paintings were hung by Eugene. Since they were put up by her boyfriend, there should be no danger to her. When Chu Xiang was about to walk to the stairs, a figure suddenly jumped out and scared her.

"Good evening, miss!"

Lilith was still as lively and cute as ever. Holding the mop in her hand, she grinned. Her sunny and cheerful smile was so full of vitality that the dim environment seemed to brighten up in an instant.

Chu Xiang said: "Lilith, it's so late, are you still working?"

Lilith replied: "The master said that we should clean the apartment at night, so that everyone can see a clean and tidy apartment when they go out the next day!"

Chu Xiang muttered: "Eugene is really an evil capitalist."

Lilith didn't understand what this meant. She tilted her head and blinked in confusion. "It's pitch black outside. Miss, you can't go out."

"It's okay, I'll turn on the light." Chu Xiang was about to go around Lilith, but unexpectedly Lilith stood in front of her again.

Lilith was a little anxious. "If the young lady goes out, the master will be worried. He will definitely blame Lilith for not taking good care of the young lady!"

This little girl who looks like she is not even an adult is about to cry. Even the most heartless person would not bear to see her sad.

Chu Xiang had to give up the idea of ​​going out, she asked: "Where is Eugene?"

"The master said he had something to deal with and had to leave for a while."

Anything that could make him leave without saying goodbye must be very important.

Chu Xiang is not the kind of person who makes trouble for no reason. Instead of making things difficult for Lilith here, it would be better to wait for Eugene to come back and ask him directly.

Lilith sent Chu Xiang back to Eugene's room. She said with a smile: "The master's room is very big. If you feel bored, you can go to the terrace to watch the night view, take a bath in the bathroom, or read in the study!"

Chu Xiang looked towards the study. Eugene had said before that she could move around his room freely, but when she entered his room before, she usually fooled around with him in bed, so she had never been to his study.

Now that Lilith brought it up, she finally became interested.

The taste of Eugene's study is just like his nouveau riche nature hidden under his elegant appearance. The gold-inlaid bookshelf fully demonstrates the word "luxury".

There are so many books on the tall bookshelves that you need to tilt your head up very high to see the ceiling.

But these books are not the most eye-catching thing, but the silver-white sword hanging on the wall is particularly noticeable.

Chu Xiang walked over and got closer. The ancient carvings on the hilt were clear and beautiful. Just like Eugene gave people the impression of being old-fashioned, the sword also looked very historical.

As if possessed by a ghost, she reached out to touch the sword. As the cold light flashed, she vaguely heard the sound of thunder and rain again.

Chu Xiang opened her eyes, and saw endless darkness before her. She was standing on top of a high tower, and the fierce wind was threatening to blow her to pieces. A hand behind her quickly wrapped around her waist and pulled her back from the edge of the tower.

"Be careful." The young man with long golden hair hugged her from behind, put his arm around her cheek, and smiled softly, "I don't want my beloved to fall and turn into cute meat paste."
