This time there was finally movement. The door was opened. A long-haired woman timidly hid behind the door, her straw-like hair covering most of her face and revealing only a pair of dull eyes. "W-What is it?"

The door wasn't pulled wide open. The gap was covered by the woman and they couldn't see the specific situation inside.

"It isn't a big deal. The soundproofing here is so poor. I just heard chopping inside your house?" Xiao Li asked directly.

The woman glanced back into the room. Then she turned her head and admitted it with a smile. "Yes, I'm chopping something. I'm a bit hungry and I'm preparing to make fried crispy pork."

"Fried." Xiao Li spoke while observing her expression. He found that the woman looked refreshed. As she moved, there were a few hot burns caused by oil on the places covered by her hair but she didn't seem to feel the slightest pain. "What about your husband? Does he like eating this too?"

The woman froze for a moment. Then the cheerfulness in her eyes became stronger and she replied in a meaningful manner, "Yes, he likes it. He likes it the most."

"I'm a bit hungry too. Shall I go in and eat together? It is also good to chat."

"It isn't very convenient. I will invite you to eat tomorrow, tomorrow." The woman said. "Even if you didn't say anything, I was going to invite you tomorrow night. The meat has to be marinated to get rid of the smell in the bones. It is delicious."

She repeated 'it is delicious' several times. Madness filled her cloudy eyes and she ignored Xiao Li in front of her. She turned around and prepared to close the door.

As the woman turned around, Xiao Li stopped her. "What is your name?"

The woman didn't answer and closed the door heavily. There was the sound of meat being chopped again and it lasted a long time.

The group returned to Xiao Li's room and Ye Zeqing spoke first. He deliberately lowered his voice and spoke as softly as possible. "She is a ghost. She is very strong and full of resentment."

Gong Mingming analyzed it according to his words. "If that woman is the unknown body in the Sun family, what is her form during the day? I thought we entered her memory before she was killed but it is obvious she just dismembered Fu Jianlin."

"During the day, Fu Jianlin domestically abuses her while at night, she kills Fu Jianlin. It is just like how her meat can turn an adult into a baby and then makes them old. There are two states." Wang Huai took out a piece of paper, drew a building on it and cut it into two seconds with a line. "Then what is the connection between day and night? This is the focus we need to solve."

Xiao Li glanced at the walkway and knocked on it with his knuckles. "The funeral home worker described the body of a woman with burns on her face. I noticed that her face has a few oil scars but not many."

"According to her, tomorrow night she will invite her neighbours to taste the fried meat. Then from tomorrow night, she will start the killing."

"From this point of view, will the scars on her face gradually increase tomorrow night until they completely cover her face? This means she has completely returned to the state of being a corpse."

"If that is the case, the world here must have rules. If we solve them, we can get out of here."

Wang Huai murmured, "Domestic violence. If this is a real case then these neighbours should've been bystanders at the time."

"Could it be that the nameless body isn't female at all but male? Were we misled by the funeral home?" Ye Zeqing suddenly raised a point.

"We can't rule out this possibility. After all, we didn't see the gender of the corpse with our own eyes." Xiao Li put this possibility into speculation. "If this is the case..."
