Chapter 150 Did someone come to this place?
"Cage? Detain me?" Hearing that, Yue immediately connected the information in her mind.
In reality, Yue wasn't stupid, she was just... she was just too shy.
She quickly pieced all the information together. Why did Rayze treat her well?
Why could he easily kill that man without feeling guilty?
Why did Rayze know so much about the end of the world?
Why didn't he want her to leave the room?
This was all proving Hikaru's theory right. Yue was a bit shaken, but right now, her reasoning forced her to believe that what Hikaru just said was true.
If it wasn't true, perhaps what Hikaru said wasn't far off from the truth.
"But why?" Yue was puzzled.
Hikaru shrugged: "I don't know, maybe he loves you. And although he can use violence to win you over, however, for some people with strange psyches..."
"What do you mean…" Yue said: "Does he want to enjoy the process of hunting prey?"
Hikaru glanced at Yue, then nodded slightly.
Yue panicked, as she did not know what to do.
'What should I do? Should I trust Rayze, or Hikaru? Should I continue to stay here or leave?'
Yue took a deep breath and stood up: "Hikaru... I... I want to see the other rooms... I want to find out... whether everyone in this building was killed by Rayze or not?"
Hearing that, Hikaru smiled and said: "Do you have the courage to see the truth?"
Yue was trembling a bit, and Hikaru clearly noticed this.
"I… I can. I want to know the truth, I don't want anyone to die needlessly because of me."
Hikaru nodded, then he also stood up and said: "I hope you have prepared yourself mentally. The next scene you see will be like hell."
Yue nodded, she took a deep breath, then said: "I'm ready."
Hikaru took Yue out. As soon as the door opened, a nauseating stench entered Yue's nose, making her almost vomit what she had just eaten.
"That's the smell of the two zombies I killed earlier." Hikaru stood with his arms crossed, his chin tilted towards the door.
Yue looked towards the door, where the corpses of the two zombies that had attacked her earlier lay.
Their corpses were cut into several pieces, their blood spilled out to wet the hallway, and a foul smell Similar to rotten eggs and dead rats filled Yue's nose.
"EWW!"
Yue wanted to vomit, but she immediately covered her mouth, as she tried to restrain herself.
A moment later, Yue panted, her face pale as she said: "We... let's go."
"Go… can you move like that?"
"I want to go…" Yue said through gritted teeth.
Hikaru heard that and sighed: "Sigh, okay, stick to me."
He suddenly hugged Yue's waist, she was also startled when he hugged her waist. However, the man's large and warm hand made Yue feel much more secure.
It was as if no matter what happened now, he would protect her.
Immediately after that, Yue felt like she was riding a roller coaster, as the scenery around her moved at a dizzying speed.
Then, Yue immediately realized she was standing in the next room.
"Heh?!" Yue felt extremely surprised, she raised her head to look at Hikaru.
However, his face was now very close to hers.
Their faces seemed to be less than 10 cm apart, and Hikaru's warm and masculine breath that was blowing on her face startled her.
Yue's face immediately turned red, and she widened her eyes.
"You… you…" Yue stammered.
"You're not afraid anymore, right?"
Hearing what Hikaru said, Yue was also surprised. Yes, it seemed that the feeling of fear and nausea had disappeared, however, a feeling of shame replaced it.
This was the first time Yue was so close to another man, and this was also the first time a man had touched and hugged her.
Therefore, it was normal for Yue to react like this.
Hikaru glanced at Yue's reaction, then ignored her and opened the door in front of him.
Crack!
As soon as the door opened, the stench of blood once again entered Yue's nose.
It was pitch dark inside, with no light at all to help them see.
Hikaru took out a flashlight from his pocket and shined it inside. Right after that, Yue was surprised to see the room filled with blood.
She even saw broken pieces of flesh and bones on the floor.
Yue knew that this room was owned by a family of 4, however, according to the blood stains left on the floor, she knew clearly that those 4 people were all dead.
Including the two children.
Yue no longer felt nauseous but she felt scared and disgusted.
"There are no survivors including women, old people and children… Everyone in this building is dead except you and Rayze."
"My friend is on the 5th floor, he's never even set foot on this floor, but he couldn't escape Rayze's claws either."
Hearing that, Yue bowed her head, even though she wanted to say that the people who died in this building were not necessarily killed by Rayze.
However, she couldn't say those words.
"Do you want to see more?"
Yue thought for a moment, then nodded. And after making some rounds it was confirmed that everyone in this apartment building had died except for her and Rayze.
To be more precise, Yue was living in a mortuary, as she was living with corpses in the same building.
Yue suddenly trembled, she felt a chill down her spine. How was this any different from staying in a house built in the middle of a cemetery?
"Don't worry, there are no ghosts in this world, only zombies and monsters." Hikaru comforted her but it seemed that his words were not useful.
"Do you… think… will these dead people turn into zombies?"
"I do not know." Hearing Yue's question, Hikaru replied: "However, the bodies of these people were all thrown down below by Rayze. Even if they turn into zombies, they still wouldn't be able to get here."
"Of course… except in special cases like the two zombies just now."
Hearing that, Yue took a deep breath. If she didn't know all this, she would still be calm, but after knowing everything, she felt even more scared.
Hikaru knew that Yue's mentality had reached its limit. If she were to see anything more, she would probably go crazy.
He took Yue back to her room, however, she couldn't stand anymore so he placed her on the sofa.
At this moment, Yue's hands suddenly clutched his sleeves. Like a kitten trying to hold on to something when it was too scared.
"Don't worry…" Hikaru comforted, he patted Yue's hand. After a while, she calmed down, then loosened her grip.
"Sorry…" Yue said: "I… I felt so scared so…"
"Hahaha… I understand that."
"So… what do you plan to do?"
Hikaru heard that and shrugged: "I will find more evidence. If Rayze is really the murderer, I will kill him."
"What?!" Yue was startled, but after thinking about it she couldn't stop Hikaru.
"But… what if…"
"Don't worry, I also possess super powers, I will definitely not lose. Ah! Do you still want to protect him?"
"No! That's not right, I... I'm just worried about you."
Hearing that, Hikaru smiled: "Hahaha... this is the first time I am meeting you, why are you worried about me instead of Rayze?"
"I…" Yue didn't know how to explain herself. However, she was indeed worried about Hikaru.
"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."
"Heh?! You… you live nearby?"
"Not necessarily. Where I live is about 30 kilometers from the city, and it's on a mountain. It can be said that that place is quite safe because there is no one around."
That's right, more population means more zombies to face.
Yue heard that and admired Hikaru a bit. If she also lived in such a place, she wouldn't need to worry too much.
"So… are you really going?"
"Um… I'll come back tomorrow. I will return to this place every day until I find the murderer of my friend. Or until I kill Rayze."
Yue bowed her head and said nothing more. Suddenly, she felt Hikaru's hand on her head, to be more precise, he was stroking her head.
"Besides… I will still come back to listen to your piano."
Yue pursed her lips, as her face turned red.
After that, Hikaru left without saying anything more.
As soon as the door closed, Yue suddenly felt the? room fall into a terrifying silence.
This silence made her feel so suffocated that she couldn't breathe.
It's strange, a second ago, when Hikaru was here, she felt that everything was normal.
However, after Hikaru left, Yue felt that this place was extremely empty, dark and cold.
It's strange, normally Yue had been staying in this house alone but she didn't feel this things.
Yue sat quietly on the sofa, as she thought about many things.
She didn't know how much time had passed when suddenly, someone was? knocking on the door from outside.
To be more precise the person was banging on the door.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
"Yue! Are you inside? Yue!"
Yue immediately recognized it as Rayze's voice. Right now, countless emotions appeared in her mind.
Fear, anxiety and even frustration.
Yes, she was scared and worried when she heard the voice of the person who had allegedly killed all the people in this building.
Yue also felt disappointed because the voice that rang out was not Hikaru's but Rayze's.
Yue tried to stabilize her emotions and after a moment she spoke: "I... I'm fine, what's going on?"
"Thank God!" Rayze breathed a sigh of relief, he asked: "Yue, did you leave the room?"
At this moment, Yue thought for a long time..
"Yue?!" Rayze's voice gradually lost patience.
Yue was startled when she heard Rayze's voice. She quickly said: "No, I didn't leave the room. It's too cold outside, I just want to stay in the room."
"Oh! So... don't go out, it's very dangerous outside, do you understand? I just want the best for you."
"Um… I know. I won't go out."
Outside, Rayze heard Yue's response and immediately felt reassured. However, he looked towards the two zombies lying on the ground and frowned.
"Yue… did someone come to this place?"
Yue: "??!!"
