Li Xuan thought he was bold, but he was also shocked.

Ye Xing clutched Li Xuan’s arm so tightly that her fingernails dug into his flesh. Li Xuan hissed and pulled Ye Xing off his body. “What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just a corpse.”

If his hands had not trembled, his words might have been more convincing.

Bai Lin separated the two people who were trembling and did not dare to move. She calmly pulled the corpse out and said, “This one’s stuck on the stove pit, so it’s easy to miss it. Fortunately, I felt around everywhere.”

The corpse was much smaller than the previous one, and it was also thin. The skin stuck to the bones, and there was no flesh at all.

Bai Lin flipped it over and investigated it rather easily. “It’s stuck pretty tight.

It took me some time to pull it down.”

Li Xuan and Ye Xing were already speechless.

Li Xuan was the bolder one. He squatted down and touched it lightly.

It felt like real human skin, and it was very cold.

Li Xuan immediately retracted his hand. “Xiao Lin, did you discover anything?”

“I have an idea for now, but there are too few clues. I’ll let you know when I go through two more houses and sort out my thoughts.” Bai Lin returned the corpse to its original position. “But we can confirm two things now.” Ye Xing did not dare to argue with Bai Lin anymore and listened quietly.

“First, there was a dead body in the house I just searched. It’s an old person, and the expression is similar to this little one’s. They both have that kind of…” Bai Lin paused and said with difficulty, “Expected look? Like they were numb.

They probably knew that they wouldn’t live long, so they died very peacefully. Also, the stoves are dirty, but the bowls and chopsticks are clean and have traces of being used.”

Bai Lin left the room and led the two to the next house. “Pay more attention to the stove and the bowls and chopsticks. They might be the key to restoring the story’s background.”

“Why do you want to restore the story background? Isn’t our goal to find the black cat that can help us leave this place?” Ye Xing asked; she did not mean to doubt Bai Lin, she was just puzzled.

“We should be looking for a cat. Bai Lin, you should put some of your cat food in every house. Maybe the cat will come.” The more Ye Xing spoke, the more she felt that she was right.

Bai Lin quickly looked through the house and patiently replied, “The black cat will appear at midnight, and people will die after it appears. Before we find the key item to subdue the black cat, looking for it is the same as looking for death.”

[Oh my god, this is shocking. There are so many clues in a short story background of less than 500 words.]

[I think Bai Lin is quite impressive. It’s already very difficult to remain calm in such an eerie environment. Not only can she think, but her thoughts make so much sense.]

[Should I say this is as expected of Abyss’ production team? It’s challenging as usual. I don’t have any thoughts at all when I look at the clues that Bai Lin has. I really want to know what she’s thinking. Why didn’t she say anything?]

[I think she’s just pretending. She doesn’t know anything, but she’s still pretending to understand. The things that she’s deduced now all come from the background of the story. Anyone who’s slightly more sensitive will be able to notice it.]

[Yes, yes, yes. The commenters are all Sherlock Holmes. The one who spoke up there, I’ve read your column. You’re a fan of Zheng You, right? Zheng You didn’t find out anything, but she went to Yan Ruo directly to get close to him. What do you think of this?”

[Zheng You is definitely confident, but it’s her first time on a variety show, so it’s normal for her to be unfamiliar with the business. If she doesn’t thrive in the entertainment industry, she can still go back and inherit hundreds of millions of family assets. Unlike Bai Lin, she can only try her best in the showbiz and please the audience.]

[Amazing. It’s already the 21st century, yet you can still see such an idiot. I’ll just wait and see what Zheng You, who you call clumsy and smart, can say later.]

Ye Xing was not very good at reasoning. She subconsciously wanted to refute Bai Lin, but she did not know where to start, so she followed her and searched the houses one by one.

Most of the houses were filled with corpses—men and women, old and young.

Ye Xing was scared at first, but as she watched Bai Lin calmly deal with the bodies, she slowly became numb.

Bai Lin finished searching seven households. “We found six bodies here. The one without a corpse has a clean stove and bowls and chopsticks. I think they might have cooked for the cat and survived.”

Bai Lin suddenly thought of something and asked, “What time is it now?
