Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

Yang Na also shuddered, her mind instantly clearing, and she stammered, "What murderer? Yanzi, what are you talking about? What are we going to do now?"

Chen Yan grabbed her hand: "Come on, wake them up. We need to find a place to hide quickly, call the police for help, and wait until dawn. Otherwise, we'll be killed."

"There's no time to say more, hurry up."

The two hurriedly went out to look for the other two, dragging them into the woods. Liu Weiwei looked completely bewildered: "What's wrong? What happened to you? Can you tell me what happened?"

"Shh, be quiet. Turn off your phone lights. Let's find a safe place to hide by the moonlight. I'll tell you what's going on after we've hidden."

The four of them ran for more than ten minutes before finding a tree hollow to hide in. They huddled together, watching the outside world warily.

Chen Yan took out her phone, her hands trembling: "..."

"How was the call? Were you able to get through?"

"No, there's no signal here, so we can't make a call. We'll have to find another place, but it's too dark now. It'll be more dangerous if we wander around aimlessly. Let's wait here until it's light."

Yang Na calmed down and asked in a low voice, "Yanzi, what exactly happened? Who is killing people? How could someone kill people?"

Chen Yan looked at them and said, "Never mind that. First, send a distress text to your family. It will be sent automatically once you get a signal. Also, turn your phone to silent mode so as not to alert the killer."

After the other three followed suit, they all looked at her with questioning eyes, wondering what was going on.

"I... I got up to go to the toilet because my stomach was upset. When I came out, I smelled a strong smell of blood. I followed the smell and saw... I saw Lin Shuwen's body."

"He just stared at us with his eyes wide open, and I didn't care about anything else. I ran back to find you and escaped. Didn't you hear someone scream? The sound is still there."

Yang Na looked blankly at him: "Lin Shuwen was killed. Why? Before dark, I saw him walking intimately with a woman into the woods. That woman looked to be in her thirties, definitely over."

"How could someone be killed in the blink of an eye? What is that murderer trying to do? Why is he killing people?"

Screams rang out, reaching the four people's ears, causing them to tremble involuntarily, their eyes filled with fear.

I prayed that dawn would come quickly, because then I would be safe.

Chen Yan gripped her phone tightly. Just then, the phone vibrated. She opened it and saw that familiar profile picture. Her pupils contracted immediately, and she opened the message.

Lin Shuwen: [Yanzi, I will find you, I will, you can't escape, we will all die, we will all die.]

Following this are three large red exclamation marks.

"What's wrong? Is there a signal?"

The three of them huddled together and saw the message. Their eyes fell on the three exclamation marks, and their hearts jumped. They instantly realized something was wrong: "No, wait, there's no signal."

"How did he send the message? Yanzi said he was dead. Even if he was blocked, there shouldn't be three red exclamation marks. What's going on?"

Suddenly, a deathly pale face appeared on the previously calm phone screen, grinning eerily. It was none other than Lin Shuwen, his sinister smile saying: "Yanzi, don't even think about running away. Don't even think about it."

The four instinctively opened their mouths to scream, then quickly covered their mouths and desperately held back: "Yanzi, turn off your phone! Hurry! What on earth is going on?"

Chen Yan frantically pressed the power button, but it was no use; the phone's chat window kept popping up.

Lin Shu-wen: [Where are you? Where are you?]

"No, no, it won't work, I can't turn it off at all."

"Swallow, don't look, don't pay attention to the news."

Yang Na covered her eyes and comforted her, "It's okay, it'll be okay. You didn't kill him, so nothing will happen. Don't worry about your phone, don't look at it."

"Let's wait until dawn. Someone will definitely come to rescue us at dawn. Don't make a sound, don't go out, and don't be afraid."

The four of them held each other tightly, their body heat radiating from one another, trembling with fear.

Chen Yan couldn't help but think of what Li Fumei had said earlier, and she was filled with regret. If she hadn't contacted Lin Shuwen, would she have been able to escape this calamity?

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have contacted Lin Shuwen, and now I've dragged you all into this."

"Don't be afraid, it's not your fault. Just close your eyes and sleep until dawn."

After an unknown amount of time, a blinding light shone in. The four of them huddled together, their bodies already stiff. They wanted to stand up and move around, but the tree hollow was simply too low.

Yang Na was the first to wake up. She looked out through the tree hole and, seeing that there was no one around, woke up the other three: "Wake up! We need to find a way to get out and call the police for help."

"Huff, but where do we go if we go out now? We don't know if that killer is gone or not, and we didn't hear the alarm. If someone had called the police, there would have been an alarm."

In other words, the other survivors on the mountaintop might...

Yang Na slowly exhaled, glanced at the clothes the group was wearing, and said, "Take off your conspicuous coats and wear clothes that blend in with the surroundings. We'll try to find a signal to call the police."

"Don't go near the mountaintop. We don't know how many killers there are. If we go near there rashly, we might run into them, which would be even more dangerous."

"Okay, we'll listen to you, Nana. You tell us what to do, and we'll do it."

Chen Yan said in a low voice, "I'll go out and check the situation first. If everything is alright, you can come out again. Be careful, we need to find some weapons for self-defense."

"Well, be careful."

He quickly crawled out first, looked around to make sure no one was there, found a stick nearby, and waved to them, saying, "Come out."

The three of them crawled out of the tree hole one by one, their legs and feet were numb and they were walking unsteadily. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which showed how many people had died.

Her face paled for a moment, but Yang Na forced herself to remain calm and said, "Let's go, there's a rocky hill over there. The signal should be better there; we tried before and there was a little signal."

"Okay, let's go over there and find some good things for self-defense."

The four of them walked in that direction, one after the other. Yang Na climbed up the tall rocky mountain and found a secluded spot at the top to peek out. She could only see tents in the camp and no one else.

My gaze fell on a white object for a moment. It was a van, the van of the wealthy woman from before. A thought flashed through my mind: how long would it take them to wait for the police to arrive?

If the murderer really killed others, how could he not silence them? Should he wait for the police, drive away in his van, or try to escape on his own? What should he do?
