After the door was pulled open, not only did Yang Qi see what was inside, but Jiang Ran and the others who were preparing to enter also craned their necks to look. All of them stared at the person before them, completely stunned that this was the scene that greeted them after the door opened.

For a moment, this blood-soaked man stood before them.

None of Jiang Ran's group dared to step inside first.

Until the blood-soaked man spoke: "You are... Jiang Ran?"

Jiang Ran heard this blood-soaked man call his name and immediately replied, "Yes, that's me. Do you know me?"

The blood-soaked man asked, "All of you, dressed like this, what are you here for?"

Jiang Ran said, "We received an emergency call saying a perverted killer was spotted here, and there were still people trapped inside. So we came to rescue."

The blood-soaked man let out a long, relieved breath: "I see. Well, it looks like I got lucky."

"Jiang Ran, do you still remember me? My name is Huang Kaiyu. I'm a resident of Alice Apartment. I introduced myself at the previous welcome party."

Jiang Ran stared at the blood-soaked man before him.

The blood-soaked man in front of him didn't have much blood on his face, but there was plenty of blood on his upper and lower body.

He stared for quite a long while.

Jiang Ran finally recalled that indeed, at the past few welcome parties, there was someone named Huang Kaiyu.

"Why are you here?"

After recognizing him, Jiang Ran asked.

A bitter smile twisted Huang Kaiyu's lips, and his voice was choked with emotion: "I came here with Huo Yun. We just wanted to read some books, you know? We like reading physical books like this, and then..."

Huang Kaiyu lowered his head. Jiang Ran and the others could see tears continuously dripping from his eyes onto the ground.

Jiang Ran was somewhat agitated: "What happened? Can you tell us?"

Huang Kaiyu raised his head, choked back a few sobs, and held it in.

He nodded.

Then, without another word, he turned and started walking.

Jiang Ran and the others quickly followed. Soon they arrived at the center of the library's first floor, in a row of bookshelves in roughly that area.

Then they saw, beside one of the bookshelves, a person leaning against it.

Huang Kaiyu's appearance already made him a blood-soaked man, but this person was the bloodiest of the blood-soaked, as if he had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

His entire body was covered in blood, including his face. Well, his face was covered on the lower half, with a lot of blood vomited from his mouth.

Beyond that, what was truly horrifying to behold.

This person's lower body had no pants and no underwear.

Flesh colored by blood.

And the most important part of him as a man was a bloody, mangled mess.

As if something had been cut off.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ran instinctively glanced down at his own lower body.

He deeply sucked in a breath of cold air.

At that moment, the Green-haired Guy suddenly said, "Damn, this brother won't be having any fun in the bedroom department anymore!!!"

Hearing what the Green-haired Guy said.

Everyone present, Jiang Ran, Yang Qi, Zeng Yan, Xue Kai, Zhang Wei, and even Huang Kaiyu over there.

All of them were momentarily stunned, then filled with extreme speechlessness.

Xue Kai scratched his forehead with his right hand and said to the Green-haired Guy, "Seriously, bro, your way of thinking is a bit strange... This guy is already dead, and you're still worried about his future sex life?!"

Yang Qi said, "During the Warring States period of the Cherry Blossom Country, there was a man named Ishida Mitsunari."

"After losing a battle and being captured, he was being escorted to the execution ground."

"On the way, he got thirsty and asked the soldier escorting him for some water."

"The soldier didn't have water, only some dried persimmons on him to quench his thirst."

"In the end, Ishida Mitsunari refused, saying, 'Persimmons cause phlegm, eating them is bad for my health.'"

"This made everyone who heard it burst out laughing."

"The laughter was understandable. After all, he was about to die, yet he was still concerned about his health, thinking that eating persimmons was bad for his body."

"Your way of thinking is comparable to that man's."

The Green-haired Guy was also speechless: "Is that so?"

Jiang Ran interrupted them and looked at Huang Kaiyu: "Huang Kaiyu, what happened to him? Who killed him?"

Huang Kaiyu stared at the dead Huo Yun, as if thinking of something particularly sad and heartbreaking again.

For a moment, he choked up with grief once more.

"Huo Yun and I were reading here when suddenly a person rushed over, wielding a knife and trying to stab both of us."

"That person came out of nowhere. Originally, the knife was meant for me, but Huo Yun protected me and took the blade for me."

"He stabbed Huo Yun to death and then ran off. I couldn't catch up. After that, I tried to go out and find help, but the library was also locked from the inside. I couldn't get out."

Jiang Ran was a bit surprised: "Huh? Didn't you guys lock the library door? Even your own people can't get out?"

Huang Kaiyu nodded weakly, then plopped down and sat on the ground.

He just stared blankly at the dead Huo Yun.

Jiang Ran crouched down and also looked at Huo Yun.

After looking at Huo Yun a few times, his impression of him wasn't much deeper than Huang Kaiyu's.

So he didn't have much to say.

The Green-haired Guy held up his phone, looking at the message Lin Yu had sent him: "Ugh, let's hurry up and go to the third floor! My friend said they caught a perverted killer!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ran led the group and prepared to head up.

However, he left two people behind to stay with Huang Kaiyu.

The two were Xue Kai and Zhang Wei.

The remaining four took the stairs and ran up to the third floor.

After feeling around the third floor for a while, going back and forth, they finally rendezvoused with Lin Yu and the others.

After the two groups met up, Lin Yu looked at the Green-haired Guy, who was dressed in full gear, and his anger flared up:

"You worthless piece of trash! I told you to go find the building manager and the security guards. You're just coming back now? If I didn't know better, I'd think you went on a pilgrimage to the Western Heaven to fetch scriptures!!!"

It was obvious that Lin Yu was genuinely angry now.

After all, the Green-haired Guy had gone to ask for help, such a short distance away, yet he was slower than an old man's pet turtle. It was truly ridiculous.

Especially since Lin Yu didn't know that the Green-haired Guy had taken a shower and eaten a bowl of instant noodles before going to ask for help.

If he knew that, Lin Yu would probably explode on the spot.

While they were facing two axe-wielding murderous psychos, you were at home taking a shower and eating instant noodles.

You were completely treating their lives as if they didn't matter!

The Green-haired Guy scratched his head.

Of course, because he was wearing the anti-riot helmet now, his head-scratching was actually helmet-scratching.

"Don't be angry. Didn't I arrive in time, and aren't you all safe and sound?"

This time, it wasn't just Lin Yu who was speechless.

Even the Silver-Haired Guy and the Pimply Guy beside him were speechless too.

Arrived in time?

Bro, are you serious?

Was it really you arriving in time that kept them safe, or was it their own intelligence, courage, and adventurous spirit that kept them safe?

But the Green-haired Guy obviously didn't care about any of that. He just wanted to see the perverted killer that Lin Yu and the others had caught.

So Lin Yu and the others stepped aside.

They let Jiang Ran and the newly arrived group see the Monkey King Mask Man.

The Monkey King Mask Man was awake now, but after waking up, both his hands and feet were bound. However, Lin Yu and the others certainly treated him better than Huo Yun and Huang Kaiyu had treated the Pimply Guy.

At least they didn't use god-knows-where-they-came-from rags to gag his mouth. Instead, they used clean curtain cloth.

And they covered his head with a black cloth hood.
