Everyone felt creepy and stared at the air beside them nervously. Although there was no one there, they knew that a "kind" grandmother was standing there quietly.

Soon, Tingting jumped out of the door.

At this time, Su Mu also stood up and said to the air beside him: "Grandma, it's dark, my eyesight is not very good, if I bump into you, please forgive me."

After that, he went to the bedroom where the little girl had stayed before under the gaze of everyone. When he came out again, there was already a photo frame in his hand.

It was the photo frame that the little girl had been holding in her hand before.

He turned the photo frame over and turned it to the front. What came into view was a yellowed black and white photo, a family portrait.

There were four people in the photo, one was an old woman with silver hair, an old face, and a hunched body, and the other was Tingting who looked younger.

As for the other two, they had no heads at all, and their necks were completely broken. It could only be judged from their clothes and other parts of their bodies that they were a man and a woman, who looked relatively young. They held Tingting's hands on the left and right.

Tingting's face was filled with a happy smile.

Ye Fanyu came over and looked at the strange photo in front of him: "This man and woman should be Tingting's parents, but why are there no heads?"

Su Mu looked puzzled: "The lack of heads of parents is not the point, the point is that there is one person missing in this photo."

"Who?" Ye Fanyu's expression moved.

"Sister." Su Mu pushed his brown glasses and said lightly: "Tingting said she was going out to find her sister just now, but there is no sister in this family photo, so the question is, who is the sister?"

Ye Fanyu's face became uglier and uglier, and the weird feeling in his heart became even worse.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the empty rocking chair began to shake again.

Creak, creak...

Everyone stared at the rocking chair nervously, and suddenly, an old voice sounded.

"Sleeping in the drowsy night fog, the whispers of the devil linger around, the moonlight peeking through the window, and the dark shadow chasing in the corner."

Everyone was shocked and subconsciously tightened their weapons.

"Is this... singing?" Ye Fanyu frowned.

"Lullaby." Su Mu narrowed his eyes and stared at the rocking chair, and the song continued.

"The wind blows, the candlelight sways, the embrace of darkness is quiet, close your eyes and don't run around, fear is slowly burning in your heart.

Sleep, sleep, baby, don't wake up, the shadow is in the corner, quiet and silent.

Sleep, sleep, don't open your eyes, there is a hand in the darkness, wanting to invite you to cross the bridge.

Sleep, sleep, close your eyes and don't hide, the soul is lost and can't find relief.

Sleep in this night, don't ask whether it is true or false, until dawn breaks, the nightmare will turn around."

The simple melody of the song coupled with the old voice revealed a bit of weirdness in the dim night.

Everyone listened to this weird song, always feeling as if there was an invisible big hand in the dark, stroking their scalp.

What no one noticed was that as the song sounded, a shadow quietly rose in the corner of the house where the candlelight could not reach, it rose higher and higher, and finally slowly turned into a human figure.

"What does this lyric mean?" Ye Fanyu was inexplicably upset. This strange environment made him very uncomfortable. He subconsciously asked Su Mu.

But the moment he turned his head to look at Su Mu, his scalp exploded instantly, his face changed wildly, and his body kept retreating and distanced himself from Su Mu.

"Black shadow!"

He retreated to the corner of the room, his right hand clenched into a gun shape, pointing at Su Mu's back.

Everyone was shocked and looked at Su Mu, only to see a human-shaped black shadow with long arms and a skinny body standing strangely behind him.

"Leader!" Zhao Chaoyao was anxious and raised the machete in his hand.

"Su Mu, behind you!" Yang Dongqing stared at the black shadow behind Su Mu, not daring to act rashly.

Su Mu did not look back, but smiled faintly: "Behind me?"

"Mr. Su, the black shadow has already set his sights on you, let someone else replace you!" Ye Fanyu shouted hurriedly.

However, Su Mu did not arrange for his younger brother to die in his place. Instead, he turned around calmly, and a tall, thin black figure was reflected on his brown glasses.

At this time, the black shadow had already stretched out his slender, dry arm towards Su Mu.

"Are you inviting me?" Su Mu asked.

The black shadow did not answer, but stretched his hand further forward, and the sharp fingertips formed by the shadow almost touched the brown glasses on his face.

Su Mu smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to the black shadow: "I accept your invitation."

The next moment, a white and slender palm tightly grasped the black shadow's hand!

Everyone was shocked.

"Leader!"

"Su Mu, you..."Su Mu turned around and smiled at everyone. The faint candlelight hit his face, and the candlelight reflected on the brown glasses, flickering slightly: "Don't worry, the answer is hidden in that lullaby."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and walked into the darkness hand in hand with the shadow.

Everyone stared blankly at Su Mu who disappeared in the darkness, lost in thought for a long time.

The house fell into a dead silence. After a long time, Yang Dongqing said, "Although he is a lunatic, I don't think he would take the initiative to seek death. He just said that the answer is hidden in the lullaby. Maybe he found something."

Ye Fanyu's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look: "The lyrics of the lullaby say, don't open your eyes, there are hands in the dark, wanting to invite you to cross the bridge, and then close your eyes and don't hide, the soul is lost and can't find relief.

The hands in the dark should refer to the black shadow, so closing your eyes and not hiding, is it the way to deal with the black shadow?"

"It's possible, Su Mu did close his eyes just now."

"Hey, Mr. Su actually risked his life for a line of lyrics, this... this is simply..." Ye Fanyu hesitated and didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Yang Dongqing said for him: "He is just a madman, right? That's right, he is a madman, it's not surprising that he can do anything."

"Asshole! How dare you insult the leader! The leader has his own plans for what to do, how can you talk about it behind his back!" Zhao Chaoyao glared at him.

Yang Dongqing glanced at him coldly, ignoring this brainwashed man.

"Now is not the time to argue, for now let's disperse and go out to find candles and food. The appearance of the shadow means that it is no longer safe here." Ye Fanyu suggested.

Everyone looked at each other and finally agreed to Ye Fanyu's proposal.
