no.57 The unknown creature "squeaked".

The sound that was not too loud at first seemed very clear in such a quiet night. Aoxue's heart became nervous, as if a killer who was about to enter the room to commit murder suddenly rang the doorbell accidentally.

The kitchen is very large. Under the white moonlight pouring in from the door, the stove, tables, chairs, water tanks, rice jars and other items are clearly visible.

There are no cats and no people.

Everything is still life, however, the most incredible thing is——

There was a fire burning in the stove that should have been dark!

The bright red flames kept shooting out from the stove, licking the edge of the stove made of earth and stone, and the movement was so charming, adding a bit of weirdness to this night when everything should be sleeping.

Who, who has been here?!

This fire cannot rise for no reason, it must be someone!

I heard that noise outside just now. It was probably the person setting the fire!

Why are you lighting a fire so late? Speaking of committing murder, you should pile the firewood outside the house!

Could it be that she is hungry too?!

Holy shit! Who is so energetic, staying up late at night and running to the kitchen to cook?!

Aoxue thought of this possibility, and the fear in her heart diminished a bit. She stared at the big black pot on the stove, not knowing what was cooking.

Hehe, as the saying goes, it's better to arrive early than to arrive in time, but this was an advantage for a passerby like her! She walked over happily.

Reach out and open the lid of the pot.

Scanning his eyes, Aoxue's heart, which was still rejoicing at her good luck, suddenly sank to the bottom of the lake. Damn luck, you could see the bottom of the black pot at a glance!

Not to mention good food and good food, there is not even soup!

What idiot with no common sense doesn't even know what food should be put in the pot?!

She put the lid on the pot and looked for food in the closet. Peanuts, a handful and put in her mouth, red dates, one bite and two bites, dried longans, peeled two and chewed the longan meat...

Just as she put a pea into her mouth and chewed it, an inspiration flashed through her. She suddenly turned around and looked at the cheerful fire on the stove.

Since there is no cooking, why are you lighting such a fire?! It is still burning so brightly!

Curiosity is like a small flame, tempting a small moth. Aoxue stared at the fire and walked over step by step.

Destroy corpses and eliminate traces? Or is it the entrance to a certain institution, or a secret code?

He bent down slightly, picked up the fire tongs next to the stove, and reached in.

No wonder the fire was so big and it was so full of wood!

I couldn't help but shake my head. Looking at this situation, it is estimated that most of the wood has not been completely burned at this moment. Otherwise, according to this amount of wood, when the flame is fully developed, it will be more than enough to ignite the wooden cutting board and other objects next to it.

Aoxue almost suspected that someone had set the fire deliberately.

After all, she was a member of the Shen family. If the kitchen of the Shen family was really burned down and she had been here in the middle of the night, she would definitely not be able to escape suspicion.

In order to avoid getting into trouble in the future, she responsibly picked up a few pieces of burning wood from the stove and threw them on the ground. Then she walked to the water tank and picked up the water spoon.

He bent down and was about to scoop water.

Suddenly, there was a "crash" sound, and an unknown black creature suddenly emerged from the water tank.

Aoxue was suddenly startled. The water spoon fell to the ground with a clang, and she involuntarily took two steps back. Before she could see what it was, the thing had already slipped past her, and she quickly jumped out of the window.
