Yuan Lai was awakened from her deep sleep by a deafening thunder. She dazedly opened the curtains and saw a heavy rain pouring down outside with thunder and lightning.

"It's raining so heavily..." Yuan Lai murmured. At this moment, her eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure under a big tree.

The figure sat upright under the big tree, motionless, blending into one with the tree behind him.

It turned out to be Qi Rong!

Qi Rong opened his eyes, his whole body was soaked by the rain, except for a calico cat in his arms.

Yuan Lai didn't have time to think about it, so she quickly picked up an umbrella and rushed out of the house.

The rain covered the soles of his shoes and soaked his socks. Yuan Lai ran to Qi Rong and held the umbrella over his head. "Why are you sitting here in such heavy rain? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Qi Rong opened his mouth and said something, but his voice was completely drowned out by the sound of rain, and Yuan Lai couldn't hear it clearly at all.

The calico cat raised its head and began to meow, with a hint of pity in its voice.

"Let's go in first!" Yuan Lai said when he saw this.

She secretly suspected that Qi Rong had deliberately taken advantage of her soft-heartedness and came up with such a self-torture trick, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to get into her house.

Although he was somewhat reluctant, Yuan Lai couldn't bear to watch Qi Rong get wet in the rain.

Qi Rong held the cat in his arms, dodged and sat down on the sofa smoothly.

"Go take a shower, the bathroom is on the left..." Before Yuan Lai finished speaking, he was surprised to find that Qi Rong walked towards the bathroom with ease and closed the door.

After a while, Qi Rong came out, dry and refreshed.

Yuan Lai looked at the clothes in his hand, smiled awkwardly, and covered the calico cat with the clothes.

"I'll help you." Qi Rong said suddenly.

Yuan Lai turned around with some confusion and looked at Qi Rong, "What?"

"I'll help you kill someone." Qi Rong's tone was very calm, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"How to help?"

The wet clothes in the room were hung randomly on the hangers, and several people were sitting tightly together in the room.

"I feel like the house is about to collapse," one of them said tremblingly.

Another person agreed: "Yeah, luckily there are many people in our house. For example, there are only Xiao Tong and Li Hao in Room 3."

Before Yuan Lai had time to see everyone's expressions, he suddenly felt his eyes blurred and found himself on the roof of Room 3.

There is a piece in the middle of the roof that was obviously added later, and the color is inconsistent with the surrounding area.

Qi Rong stomped his feet and jumped off the roof with Yuan Lai.

"The roof is leaking again?" Zhao Xiaotong heard the sound and turned to look at the roof.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Rong appeared in front of him like a ghost. Before Zhao Xiaotong could even react, Qi Rong quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Then a golden hairpin gently scratched his neck, and Zhao Xiaotong fell to the ground with a shocked expression on his face.

Yuan Lai witnessed this scene and found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he could not make any sound.

"You...you..." Yuan Lai finally squeezed out two words with difficulty.

Killing someone so easily? She couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.

"I said this room needs an overhaul. Is it raining in there?" Li Hao lay on his side on the bed, seemingly unaware of anything unusual in the room.

He chatted with Zhao Xiaotong casually, but got no response.

Li Hao felt a little strange, so he turned over to see why Zhao Xiaotong didn't answer. The moment he turned around, Qi Rong, who had been waiting at the bedside since early morning, made another swift move, and the golden hairpin in his hand quickly passed across Li Hao's neck.

The blood of the two people gradually seeped into the cement ground under the washing of rain, forming a bright red color.

Qi Rong looked at her expressionlessly and slowly reinserted the gold hairpin into Yuan Lai's hair, as if it was just a very ordinary action.

Then he took Yuan Lai's hand and took her away from the bloody scene.

As they were leaving, Yuan Lai heard a knock on the door behind her. She turned around subconsciously and saw Lu Zhuo wearing a blue raincoat, standing in front of Room 3.

"Li Hao, little boy, is it dark in your room? We just found a candle..." Lu Zhuo's voice was a little unclear in the rain.

Yuan Lai couldn't help but sigh that all this happened so quickly, like a carefully planned perfect crime. And she could stay out of it and had nothing to do with it.

She knew that with Qi Rong's help, she could leave this place as soon as possible.

Along the way, she felt more and more relaxed, and all the burdens on her shoulders were lifted at this moment.

After returning home, Yuan Lai hugged the calico cat that was wandering around the living room tightly in his arms.

"I'm so happy today! Since you're so cute, I'll find a good family to adopt you. After you give birth to the baby, I'll take you to be sterilized."

A thought suddenly flashed through her mind - Qi Rong's murder weapon was still on her head!

Yuan Lai pulled out the golden hairpin and threw it out the window like a hot potato.

"Oh! Who is it?"

Yuan Lai's heart nearly leaped into her throat as she screamed, wondering if she had hit someone.

What a good thing!

She leaned over the window and looked out. The night was as dark as ink, pitch black, with only one light flickering.

She opened her eyes wide, trying to make out what was happening in the distance.

In the fields, there were ten figures wearing blue raincoats working in the fields.

What frightened her even more was that Li Hao and Zhao Xiaotong were standing intact in the field, holding bamboo poles in their hands.

Li Gengyun waved his arms and spoke to others.

And her golden hairpin was pinned right on Jiang Dunhao's head!

"Aren't these two people dead? Why are they still working in the fields?" Countless questions flashed through Yuan Lai's mind, and she began to tremble.

Could it be that killing someone in a dream meant they couldn't be killed? How could she leave then? Was the dreamer lying to her? But there was no need to lie to her.

Qi Rong came out of the kitchen with a plate of vegetables in his hand.

He seemed to sense Yuan Lai's fear. Without any hesitation, he put the plate on the table, and with a flash of his body, he flew out of the open window as fast as a bird.

The distance was quite far, and Yuan Lai couldn't see Qi Rong's specific movements, but ten people fell one after another, and even the staff present were not spared.

Afterwards, Qi Rong landed steadily in front of the windowsill and handed the golden hairpin in his hand to Yuan Lai.

The exquisitely carved calico cat at the end of the golden hairpin had now been stained with blood, becoming blurred and difficult to recognize its original appearance.

"I'll take you away." Qi Rong stretched out his hand and grabbed Yuan Lai's wrist tightly.

Before Yuan Lai could come to his senses, he felt his body being lifted into the air by a powerful force and rushing towards the sky.
