Chapter 144: The Blood-Stained Mist
A breeze from afar blew into the sealed room, and as sunlight streamed in, everything seemed to become warm and gentle, dispelling the darkness and cold that had once hidden here.
He Yi and Du Kong Zhenren entered the room.
The room carried a strange odor, tinged with a lingering stench of blood. Du Kong Zhenren paused at the threshold, frowning as he waved his hand in front of him, “What’s that smell?”
In contrast, He Yi had no overt reaction. He quickly moved forward and opened the windows. As the light poured in, the scene inside the room was revealed.
It was blood-red!
The first shocking sight they encountered was the intense red color everywhere—on the white walls and the floor. It looked as if countless amounts of blood had been splattered around, creating a horrifying sight. The red was deliberately smeared to form various eerie and twisted patterns, resulting in complex and incomprehensible designs.
He Yi gazed at the blood-red patterns and formations on the walls. His pupils slightly contracted, and then he turned his attention to the center of the room. There, an empty space on the floor appeared to be shaped like a human figure.
He Yi turned to Du Kong Zhenren, who nodded and said, “The person died there.”
He Yi crouched down, examining the lines of gaps on the floor. The gaps, about the thickness of a finger, still held traces of the red color, though much of it had dried and turned blackish.
