Chapter 571 [Domain - Second Gate] The Massacre Begins
He immediately looked up and glanced at the several women dressed as nurses beside him.
These employees weren't as strange as he had seen in the mirror before; they were perfectly normal human beings, proving that this was before the beauty salon massacre.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and birds were chirping outside the window; it all seemed like an ordinary day.
But the curse couldn't have pulled him into a safe environment for no reason.
Luo Weicheng immediately made a judgment: either he was like Wu Hui, who arrived at the day of the medical accident, or he arrived at... the time when Ma Zhao killed Zhang Wei!
However, Ma Zhao should still be human at this moment.
Thinking of this, Luo Weicheng felt a little relieved. As long as it wasn't a ghost, it was within the range of physical resistance, which was good.
The nurses, seeing his furrowed brows and silent demeanor, seemed unsurprised.
They exchanged a subtle glance before silently leaving the office.
After the door was closed, Luo Weicheng seemed to be deep in thought.
He did not overlook the nurses' performance.
Before rushing out, Luo Weicheng first looked around the office, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Just like in real life, there was no incense burner anywhere, and you couldn't even smell the incense.
Is it really like that?
Luo Weicheng's heart was pounding, and his hand unconsciously went into his pocket. He could only rely on the scene he had glimpsed through the shadow puppet to convince himself.
Opening the drawer, Luo Weicheng indeed saw a stack of money, as well as Wu Hui's resignation letter!
Li Changming's resignation letter.
This proves that this occurred after a medical malpractice incident.
Upon confirming this, Luo Weicheng's heart sank instantly, and his uneasy premonition grew stronger.
Just then, the sound of a cart being pushed came from outside.
He cautiously approached the office door, pushed it open a crack, and heard the woman's soft voice.
"...and he had that sour face again..."
"We don't have a single customer. How can we be happy? We can't even afford to pay salaries..."
"Brother Li is gone, and I'm not working here next month either. There's no commission, how am I supposed to survive on that meager fixed salary?"
The nurses were discussing Zhang Wei, their tone full of complaints.
They discussed changing jobs in hushed tones for a while, their tone gradually becoming strange.
"By the way, when I came to the store this morning, the director was already in his office. It seems he didn't go home at all last night."
"Did he have a fight with his wife?"
"Definitely. Brother Li told me before that the director's house is a complete mess, and his wife seems to have a mental illness..."
The sounds gradually faded into inaudibility, with only occasional suppressed laughs breaking the silence.
Luo Weicheng closed the door.
He had gathered enough information, which corroborated the video they had seen before, to show that Zhang Wei's wife was currently suffering from ghostly encounters.
However, this is unrelated to Luo Weicheng's goal.
His main focus is finding the incense burner... Zhang Wei didn't go home last night, so he might have used the computer; there might be clues on it.
He turned on the computer on his desk, and sure enough, WeChat was still running. But before opening Zhang Wei's WeChat, Luo Weicheng first went into the store's surveillance interface.
Everything is normal, both inside and outside the store.
He kept an eye on the surveillance camera, then opened WeChat. The first message that popped up was a conversation between Zhang Wei and his wife.
There has been no reply...
Luo Weicheng frowned slightly. Zhang Wei had sent more than a dozen WeChat messages throughout the night, but had not received a reply.
Through the chat logs, Luo Weicheng roughly learned about the wife ghost's experiences, which were similar to Chen Ji's previous guesses. The wife ghost was most likely cursed by the ghost eye.
In fact, with Huang Yue's death, the other entrants to the realm were not sure exactly how or when the wife ghost died.
However, the messages on the computer led Luo Weicheng to inadvertently guess that Zhang Wei's wife must have been killed by a ghost last night.
One of the scapegoats died prematurely, and not by Ma Zhao.
Is this why the twins couldn't be saved...?
Just as Luo Weicheng was about to continue checking other chat logs, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a white shadow outside the beauty salon!
His scalp tingled instantly. In the blurry surveillance footage, he saw a bald man dressed in plain white mourning clothes standing quietly outside the beauty salon.
One second later.
The man looked up.
Staring intently at the camera, his eyes bloodshot, he looked like a wild beast that had lost its cubs and lost all reason!
The malice in his eyes made Luo Weicheng feel as if he had been doused with cold water. At that moment, he suddenly realized something.
Ma Zhao is definitely not a ghost at this moment.
But that doesn't mean... he wasn't affected by the curse.
That doesn't mean... he's still the "person" that Luo Weicheng originally thought he was in the broadest sense!
He jumped up from his chair almost immediately, but the monitor on the computer screen suddenly glitched for a second.
When the store was reopened, there was no one outside.
At the same time, a questioning voice came from outside the office:
"Ok?"
Luo Weicheng's eyes suddenly froze. In the camera footage, Ma Zhao, dressed in mourning clothes, suddenly appeared in the beauty salon from outside the door!
He appeared right in front of the nurse with the braided pigtails.
The nurse was also startled by his strange attire and asked hesitantly:
"You are--"
Her mouth was still open, but the sound stopped abruptly.
In the corridor, another nurse heard the noise and came out of the beauty room.
She looked at her colleague with a puzzled expression; the man in mourning clothes was standing blankly in front of her, motionless.
But just two seconds later...
Both the nurses in the corridor and Luo Weicheng in front of the monitor suddenly narrowed their eyes, horrified to see...
The two braids swayed slightly.
The nurse's head swayed slightly.
Then the whole thing slid off my neck and onto the ground.
Only a headless corpse remained, blood gushing from the severed wound!
"what!!!"
After a brief silence, the nurse who had just come out seemed to finally realize what had happened, and a scream of extreme terror escaped her throat!
At the same time, Luo Weicheng was shocked and without any hesitation, he rushed to the door and locked it from the inside!
He turned to look at the window, the bizarre scene from just now flashing through his mind.
Wu Hui's observation was correct; Ma Zhao did indeed take a long knife and used it to kill the beauty salon employee.
But what no one knows is...
This isn't just an ordinary mental illness; it involves slowly stabbing people.
Ma Zhao's speed is beyond the range of normal people.
Luo Weicheng was very fast at capturing images, which was the key to his ability to use shadow puppets, but even so, he still couldn't react in time!
He had no weapons at hand and was injured, so he was no match for Ma Zhao in terms of martial prowess.
But Ma Zhao will definitely come looking for him.
Because he is now playing the role of Zhang Wei, the scapegoat chosen by Ma Zhao for her child!
The only option was to escape.
Without saying a word, Luo Weicheng immediately opened the window.
The sun was still shining brightly, and the birds were chirping happily in the trees...
Inside the beauty salon, the screams from moments before had turned into screams of agony.
Luo Weicheng couldn't care less about anything else and was about to jump out of the window, but just then—
His mind suddenly went blank.
A faint scent of incense wafted into his nostrils.
