My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 59 When I call your name, don't respond!

Upon hearing the young woman's reminder, everyone immediately looked towards the living room window.

Because it's an old-style house, these windows face directly onto one side of the corridor.

However, because the windows were covered with paper decorations, most of the view was blocked, and only a blurry view of the outside could be seen.

dong dong dong...

A knocking sound came from the door of a room at one end of the corridor.

One knock after another, everyone in the room remained still, listening intently to the continuous knocking.

Although it was a dream, almost everyone could feel their palms sweating and their heart racing.

The knocking grew louder and louder as it approached.

Sometimes, the sound of doors opening could be heard, indicating that some doors were not closed, so the skin-peeling creature simply barged in.

After a short while, the door to the next room was knocked on again.

After about four or five minutes...

dong dong dong...

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound outside the young woman's rented room. Strangely, no one saw a dark figure pass by the window.

Everyone was stunned; the young woman and the little boy were already trembling slightly.

The little boy had instinctively hidden behind the elderly man's wheelchair, and then squatted down while hugging the pet cage.

bang bang bang...

The knocking didn't stop quickly; instead, it turned into an even more intense pounding on the door.

Chen Zhenghai gently shook his head at Li Jiuhe, indicating that nothing outside could get in, because he had already locked the door to the room with a key.

Chen Zhenghai's key is not a physical object, but a virtual item from his own mind, a locking mechanism for a key point in the world of consciousness.

This is Chen Zhenghai's secret, just like Li Jiuhe's secret about resetting his mission.

In fact, if Chen Zhenghai wanted, the key could be transformed into a pen, chopsticks, or even a pistol. The appearance was not important; what mattered was that he could use it to block certain products of consciousness.

Suddenly the rapid banging on the door stopped, as if the person outside had left.

Just seconds later, with a snap, a humanoid object stuck directly to the window facing the corridor, revealing a humanoid silhouette.

The young woman and the middle-aged man suddenly flinched, almost screaming in fright. Fortunately, the elderly man in the wheelchair reacted slowly, and even though he was startled, he only flinched and had no other reaction.

If the old man is really too frightened, he will at most jerk and faint, without making much noise.

The little boy, however, remained hidden behind the wheelchair, not daring to lift his head, and was not frightened at all.

Li Jiuhe and Chen Zhenghai immediately recognized that the human figure stuck to the window glass looked like a piece of human skin, soft and fluffy with irregular edges.

On the side of the window that is right next to the glass, you can still see thin, blood-soaked filaments.

The two believed that the fear of the people in the room had reached its peak at this moment. Although they knew they were in a dream, the dream was too bizarre, and no one could avoid feeling fear.

Meanwhile, the hidden Nightmare is taking this opportunity to absorb nutrients and strengthen itself.

Chen Zhenghai glanced at the young woman's terrified expression and fell into deep thought. He realized that her fear did not seem to be feigned.

Li Jiuhe, on the other hand, was observing the little boy's reaction.

Seeing the little guy huddled up in the back of the wheelchair, trembling all over, tightly hugging the pet cage in his arms, not even daring to open his eyes.

Compared to Chen Zhenghai, Li Jiuhe was a complete novice when it came to understanding things, since that was Chen Zhenghai's sequence ability.

Therefore, Li Jiuhe couldn't tell if there was anything suspicious about the little boy at this moment.

After a brief stalemate, the human skin pasted onto the outside of the window ripped off with a whoosh, leaving behind a large amount of blood flowing down the outside of the glass, a horrifying sight.

It seems the person who shed their skin went to the next room.

Just then, an unfamiliar male voice suddenly rang out from the bedroom and clearly reached the living room.

"Liu Jiaqi, Liu Jiaqi..."

The young woman was startled and turned to look at the bedroom, but instinctively covered her mouth, afraid that she might suddenly agree.

Liu Jiaqi is her name.

Li Jiuhe immediately ran to the bedroom door and looked inside, only to find it empty.

"Liu Jiaqi..."

The man's voice came from the kitchen again.

The middle-aged man was standing closest to the kitchen, but instead of daring to go closer to take a look, he was so frightened that he quickly ran a few steps forward and moved away from the kitchen.

Li Jiuhe rushed to the kitchen door again, only to find it empty as well.

Chen Zhenghai then moved closer to Liu Jiaqi and asked, "Who is this person who called you?"

"I...my boyfriend," Liu Jiaqi stammered as she came to her senses.

Li Jiuhe turned her head to look, because her statement and the appearance of that strange male voice just now were exactly the opposite of Chen Zhenghai's initial speculation.

So, was Chen Zhenghai's speculation wrong, or was Liu Jiaqi hiding something?

"You don't need to lie to us anymore, we don't even know you," Chen Zhenghai said, emphasizing each word. "You don't have a boyfriend at all."

"Ah, I...I have...I have a boyfriend..." Liu Jiaqi nodded hurriedly.

Chen Zhenghai raised his right hand, and the key from before appeared in his hand.

He made a move towards the door, saying as he went, "Since you won't tell the truth, I'll have no choice but to let that skin-peeling man in. He must be quite interested in someone like you who likes to lie; otherwise, why was he so eager to come in just now?"

"No, no..." Liu Jiaqi quickly grabbed Chen Zhenghai's hand.

Her expression was a mixture of worry and fear as she stammered, "I'll talk, I'll talk, don't open the door! That person isn't my...boyfriend, he has...his own family."

Chen Zhenghai looked enlightened and nodded: "No wonder there were no other person's belongings in the room, so you were... "

At this point, he swallowed the words "kept woman" whole.

The married man only came occasionally, and he would leave quickly after finishing his business.

In order not to leave any evidence against him, he did not leave anything of his own in the house.

However, this eliminates the suspicion surrounding Liu Jiaqi, who is someone else's mistress, leaving only one suspect in Chen Zhenghai's earlier speculation.

Li Jiuhe and he almost instinctively looked at the little boy squatting behind the wheelchair.

Sensing the danger outside, the little boy opened his eyes and slowly stood up, still holding the pet cage.

Chen Zhenghai walked over, smiled at him, and asked, "Little friend, what's your name?"

The little boy opened his mouth, but before he could answer, a sound suddenly came from the bedroom again.

However, this time the voice was not that of the man from before, Liu Jiaqi's lover, but another young male voice.

"Daddy, Daddy, please save me..."

Upon hearing the voice, the middle-aged man, who had been living in fear, brightened up. His previous terror and cowardice vanished, and he rushed towards the bedroom, shouting, "Son? Son, where are you?"

"Don't respond!" Chen Zhenghai hurriedly reminded him, but it was too late.

After hearing what Liu Jiaqi said, the middle-aged man was already very worried about his son Tian Hui's current situation, and the sounds coming from the bedroom made him instantly agitated.

Li Jiuhe stepped forward and grabbed the middle-aged man.

But almost at the same moment, his hand suddenly went empty, and the middle-aged man in front of him let out a scream and disappeared without a trace right before everyone's eyes.
