Chapter 54 Getting Lost (Part 2)

Before my hand even touched Meng Chao, he drifted backwards a long way like a kite with a broken string.

With a smirk and a ferocious grin, his face transformed into a puff of black mist, vanishing without a trace.

"Bastard!"

Bai Jing rushed forward, but still couldn't stop the opponent from dissipating.

"You bastard! You actually fooled me!"

"Come out! If you've got the guts, get out here!"

She roared for a while, then strode back to me and shoved me hard. "What are you staring at?"

The change in 'Mongolian Super League' just now left me in a daze.

She pushed him, bringing him back to his senses, and his brows furrowed into a knot.

"You noticed something was off about him a while ago?" Bai Jing asked me.

"Mengniu is a chatterbox; it's never quiet, no matter the situation."

My brow furrowed even more. "Aren't you a top-tier immortal? How come you can't even see this?"

"You think that being a top immortal is the same as being a god? Remember, no one in this world is omnipotent!" Bai Jing said confidently.

It looked as if I had done something wrong and had let her down.

I shrugged helplessly.

Bai Jing looked at me suspiciously: "Now that your friend is missing, aren't you worried about him?"

"I used to, but I don't anymore."

I'm telling the truth.

Since being brought here by another 'Gu Haitao', I have experienced at least two strange events.

Of course I'm concerned about Meng Chao's safety.

But before I took off my shirt, I remembered something that relieved most of my worries.

Ghosts and spirits are things that exist if you believe in them, and do not exist if you do not.

This statement seems inappropriate at present.

However, during his trip to the charcoal kiln, Meng Chao unexpectedly obtained a Heavenly Ruler.

Although I am not very knowledgeable, I am certain that the Heavenly Ruler was made of wood struck by lightning.

Regardless of whether the Twenty-Eight Mansions diagram above is accurate, the mere fact that lightning strikes and trees are struck by lightning is enough to prevent ordinary people from being harmed by evil spirits.

Going out in the middle of the night would make anyone nervous.

Therefore, I personally witnessed Meng Chao tucking the Tianpeng ruler into his waistband before leaving home.

I'm convinced that the 'Meng Chao' with us isn't the real person. Firstly, he was unusually silent; secondly, he didn't have the Heavenly Ruler on his waist.

"Find someone!"

Even though I knew Meng Chao carried a protective charm, I was still a little worried.

"Look for each other separately!"

"Does it fit?"

Bai Jing didn't answer me, but glared at me resentfully and went upstairs on her own.

"Don't you have any manners? A lawyer, my foot!"

Perhaps it's related to my childhood experiences, but I'm not particularly brave, though I'm not afraid of demons or monsters.

I was initially a little scared to sneak into this uninhabited mountain house at night, but after what just happened, I felt much calmer.

After searching the second floor again and opening several doors, I began to realize something.

Although this building is some distance away from Zhulin Villa, it is very likely part of the villa.

The first floor is similar to that of ordinary residential houses.

The second floor is almost entirely guest rooms.

I tried to turn on the lights more than once, but the lights didn't turn on when I pressed the switch, most likely because the main power switch was turned off when there were no guests.

I went around several times, but there wasn't a soul in sight.

Back in the stairwell, I suddenly heard a woman scream from above.

My heart skipped a beat. I hesitated for a moment, then slowly went upstairs.

The moment I reached the third floor, my whole body swayed involuntarily.

From the outside, it looks like a three-story, rectangular building.

The area is the same from the first to the third floor.

However, once you get to the third floor, you'll find that the structure of this floor is completely different from what you see on the outside.

This floor does not have a long corridor connecting the left and right sides.

The truth is, there are only two rooms on the third floor, and their structure and style are completely different from the rest of the building, judging from the walls and doors. Crucially, from the outside, the entire building is pitch black.

However, in one of the small windows above the old-style wooden door in the two rooms on the third floor, light was shining through!

The woman's screams came from this room.

The sounds continued, intermittent cries and screams.

I worked and studied in the area for three years. Although I couldn't speak it, I could understand most of the local language.

I heard the woman say intermittently:
"I didn't... I really didn't... I didn't do it... Ah Sheng... you've got it wrong... go and turn yourself in..."

"Confess?"

Recalling the dream I had not long ago, I tiptoed to the door.

A curtain was drawn inside the small window, but you could still see what was happening inside through the gap.

One glance and my blood ran cold.

This is a bedroom.

Bamboo beds, bamboo chairs...

Typical local furniture, all very old.

The wooden floor was almost entirely covered in black and red blood.

Under the incandescent light, it appeared particularly eerie and sinister.

Two men lay in a pool of blood.

One of them, lying face up with its eyes wide open, was completely still.

The other one was lying on his side, clutching his lower abdomen with both hands, his body convulsing. Although his facial features were distorted, there was a mocking smile on his lips.

"Sheng, I really didn't... I didn't do it..."

A woman with delicate features and fair skin was curled up in the corner of the bamboo bed, her hands covering her head, shaking her head from time to time and crying out intermittently.

"You still dare to be stubborn!"

A man's roar suddenly rang out.

His voice was so shrill that even through the door, I was suddenly startled and shuddered.

"How could it be him?"

I instinctively took a step back, my mind buzzing.

Although the man's voice was a bit off-key, I could still tell that he sounded like someone!

"Ah Sheng... hurry and take Ya Cai to the hospital... hurry and take him to the hospital!" the woman cried out.

"Did you do it or not?!" the man continued to demand hysterically.

"No... I really didn't!"

"Still being stubborn..."

"Snapped!"

Hearing the sound of a slap, I became furious.

He leaned closer to the window and peered through the gap in the curtains. He saw the young woman lying on the bed, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"asshole!"

I couldn't contain myself and wanted to break down the door.

Before they could even back away, the curtain of the small window on the door was suddenly pulled open!
Through a window that was only a foot square, a man's face came right into my view!

Upon first seeing that fierce face, I instinctively swung my fist at it.

As expected, the sound of breaking glass did not come.

I didn't feel any pain in my hand.

In his terror, he used all his strength in that punch.

But because I missed, I was spun around halfway in place.

Just as I managed to steady myself, I caught a glimpse of a figure on my left.

"Depend on!"

I swung the flashlight and smashed it.

The man hurriedly backed away, saying, "Twenty-one! Are you crazy!"

Mengniu!

Upon seeing the person's face clearly, his mind raced, and he turned back around.

The two rooms we saw earlier are no longer there...
