Chapter 8: Male Model

  Transtor: der Transtions

  --------

  "Could it be that abused girl’s?" the girl analyzed. "The girl was abused to death, her rese became a vengeful ghost, and the middle-aged man killed at dawn is her."

  So far, her analysis seemed reasonable.

  "It’s possible, but we still need some evidehe burly man who had just e out of the bathroom said, his imposing presence diminished, revealing fine beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

  Jiang g uood that he wasn't as calm as he appeared.

  The task of preparing lunch was left to the fat guy, while the girl helped wash the vegetables.

  Before long, a delieal was ready, ae the grim surroundings, everyone finished every st bit of food, a testament to the fat guy's cooking skills.

  "Are you a chef?" the burly man asked, taking a sip of hot soup, his gaze toward the fat guy softening siderably.

  "No," the fat guy scratched his head, a bit embarrassed. "I just run around doing various jobs, so I’ve picked up a few things."

  "What do you all do?" The burly ma his bowl down, his gaze beiler. "I’m Fan Li, a bodyguard."

  "I'm Xie Yu, I work at an insuranpany," the male clerk said quietly.

  "I'm Xiaomeng, studying w at uy," the girl introduced herself.

  Then it was the turn of the woman with a mole on her lips. Initially, everyone expected her to dismiss them, but she spoke slowly, "You call me Sister Nuan, I’m older than you all, and my profession..." she smiled subtly, "I sell goods."

  Everyone looked at her with a mixture of curiosity and uainty; her aura was anything but that of a regur mert, and what she meant by "goods" likely had its own story.

  However, no one pressed her on this topic. They all turheir curious gazes to Jiang g, their i in him surpassing even that in Sister Nuan.

  Jiang g straightened up and said seriously, "I’m Hao Shuai, a male model."

  TL: Hao Shuai means “Good Looking”.

  "You’re a model?" The girl seemed a bit incredulous. "At a film pany?"

  Jiang g slowly turned his head, giving her a meaningful gnce. "I work the night shift at a KTV."

  Everyoared at him in surprise, but no one ented. Everyone had the right to choose their profession, and they felt Jiang g indeed had the physical attributes for it.

  In this world, daytime seemed exceptionally short. After chatting a bit more, the sky darkened again.

  The burly man walked to the window, gnced outside, theuro say, "It’s not going to rain; the sky has just turned dark."

  As he said, half an hour ter, night fell once more.

  The group sat around the firep the living room, warming themselves while analyzing the clues they had gathered.

  For safety, they moved some firewood from the ste room to the living room during the day, so they wouldn't have to go out in the dark ter.

  The fat guy sat closest to the fire, occasionally tossing in a log.

  The fire burned brightly, casting a red glow on everyone’s faces.

  Xiaomeng insisted on her earlier view that other family members must have abused the girl, ultimately leading to her tragic death; the ghost in this vil was the girl from the four-member family.

  She seemed fixated on this idea, her emotions being agitated whenever she discussed it, trasting sharply with her previously gentle demeanor.

  Jiang g, recalling that she was studying w, thought she might have an iing backstory.

  After several rounds of discussion without any new progress, someone yawned, indig that it wasn’t just Jiang g who had trouble sleeping st night.

  Fan Li stood up, stretg his slightly numb legs, and suggested, "Let’s go to bed."

  His suggestion was quickly agreed upon.

  Sihe middle-aged man had died mysteriously on the first floor, everyone decided to sleep on the sed floor that night.

  Xie Yu quietly suggested that they should all stay together for safety, but before she could finish, Sister Nuan de, saying they might miss something.

  Xie Yu’s eyes widened in fear, but in the end, no one asked Sister Nuan what she meant by "something."

  Regardless, everyoacitly avoided the girl’s bedroom.

  They po split into two groups: one would sleep in the boys' room, and the other in the master bedroom.

  Since Sister Nuan and Xiaomeng were both women, they naturally chose to stay together in the master bedroom, where the male and female owners had slept st night.

  The fat guy insisted on sharing a room with Jiang g, so they both ehe boys' room.

  Then it was down to Fan Li and Xie Yu, who both seemed to want to stay in Sister Nuan’s room, as those two seemed more experienced, increasing their ces of survival.

  After discussing, Sister Nuan and Xiaomeng chose Fan Li, and the three of them ehe room, closing the door behind them.

  Only Xie Yu remained alone in the corridor.

  A gust of cold wind blew, making him instinctively hug himself, goosebumps rising on his arms.

  He quickly ran to the door of Jiang g’s room, knog rapidly.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang! It’s me, open the door!"

  While Jiang g leisurely checked the room, he casually replied, "Weren't you going to leave me alone ihroom? You go stay door."

  Xie Yu stared at the slightly ajar door door, which trembled gently with the breeze, as if something were about to rush out at any moment.

  That was the girl's bedroom.

  Xie Yu shivered in fear, turning around with a quivering voice, pleading, "I’m sorry, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have said that, please five me!"

  After cheg the room thhly, Jiang g finally sat down fortably, casually opening a new bottle of mineral water and taking a small sip. "What did you call me?"

  "Hao Shuai! Hao Shuai!"

  Jiang g narrowed his eyes in satisfa.

  "Hao Shuai! Hao Shuai!"

  The fat guy: "..."

  "Ahh—" Jiang g let out a satisfied sigh, then waved his hand, signaling the fat guy behind the door to open it.

  As soon as the door opened, Xie Yu rushed in like a gust of wind and then smmed the door shut with a bang.

  After the earlier i, Xie Yu didn’t dare to breathe loudly, shrinking into the er of the room, afraid that Jiang g might throw him out in anger.

  Jiang g pulled out a b and gnced around the floor as if looking for a pce to sleep.

  "Bro," Xie Yu asked in disbelief, "aren't you going to sleep in the bed?"

  "Not sleeping." Jiang g didn't even look at him, answering casually, "I’m used to sleeping on the floor at home."

  "Is it because your sister-in-w is strict with you?" Xie Yu asked softly.

  "None of your business!"
