Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 129 Knock on the door

The night was as dark as ink, pressing heavily over the city.

Su Yu returned to the bedroom and drew the dark gray curtains.

"system"

A familiar dizziness washed over him, and the next second, he found himself in that familiar courtyard bedroom, exuding a faint fragrance.

Su Yu walked to the sofa in the hall and sat down. He closed his eyes, and Cai Jiang's greasy and ferocious face flashed through his mind, but he forcibly suppressed it.

"It seems that even in isolation, the imprint of blood and the erosion of the mind remain ever-present."

"It makes one recall that bloody scene time and time again."

"If this goes on for too long, I'm afraid it will lead to nervous degeneration!" Su Yu sneered. He was different; as long as he didn't want to recall the memories, he wouldn't be seduced.

"However, killing Cai Jiang might cause considerable trouble."

How would the mastermind behind this think?

Su Yu pondered quietly, but when he opened his eyes again and his gaze swept around as usual, he was suddenly startled.

"The corridor seems to have changed."

It wasn't really seeing, it was a feeling. Su Yu hesitated for a moment, then looked through the peephole.

He knew the layout of the corridor by heart—the endless corridor, the closed rooms, but the side closest to him should have been a tightly closed door.

But then a light suddenly appeared.

"This..." Su Yu was stunned. He had never seen light behind the door before. Could it be that... the assassination of Cai Jiang had triggered some kind of condition?

He stood up, a mixture of unease and curiosity in his eyes. The courtyard had never shown any aggression, but the unknown always comes with risk.

The door was gently pushed open with a creak.

A cold, musty smell wafted over, contrasting sharply with the fresh fragrance in the courtyard.

Behind the door was a long, narrow, dark corridor, where light could barely reach and one could barely see anything.

There seemed to be some rooms lined up on both sides of the corridor, but they were all hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly.

Su Yu was wary. This dim environment always reminded him of some bad things. He hesitated for a moment, but still stepped inside.

The stone slabs underfoot were cold, and the faint sound of my footsteps echoed, sounding exceptionally clear in the deathly silent corridor.

He moved forward cautiously, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily.

A faint musty smell permeated the air, mixed with the stench of rotting paper.

After walking only three or five steps, we arrived at the door on the left. This door was smaller than the doors in the corridor, with a tiny crack showing through, letting in a little light.

Su Yu stopped and listened intently.

There was no sound inside, only deathly silence.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his unease. Now that he had come this far, there was no reason to back down.

He reached out and gently pushed the loose door.

"crunch-"

It was easier than I expected; the door opened effortlessly.

The space behind the door was very small, only about ten square meters, with a compact layout. A bed was placed against the wall, covered with faded sheets.

At the foot of the bed was a small desk, piled with books and stationery. Several certificates of merit were pasted on the wall—the handwriting was neat and beautiful, clearly the work of a diligent and studious girl.

In the corner of the desk, there were several adorable plush toys, their innocent big eyes staring silently at the intruder.

In the very center of the desk, there was a picture frame.

Su Yu's gaze was drawn to the photo frame. She took a few steps closer and picked it up. The photo was slightly yellowed, but still clear.

The two girls in the picture appear to be sisters. The older sister is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a gentle smile and a touch of mature tranquility.

The younger sister was a bit younger, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a cute ponytail, a bright smile, and clear, innocent eyes.

For some reason, Su Yu's heart skipped a beat when she saw her younger sister.

So familiar...

He felt like he'd seen that face somewhere before. The eyes, the curve of the smile—it all gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

However, no matter how hard he tried to search his memory, he couldn't remember who it was.

It's like looking through a thick layer of frosted glass; you can see the outline, but you can never see the truth.

This feeling made him somewhat irritable.

His gaze shifted from the photograph to a textbook lying open on the desk.

It appeared to be a textbook; the cover was somewhat worn, indicating it had been frequently consulted.

Su Yu subconsciously reached out, wanting to flip through the textbook, hoping to find some clues.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the textbook—

"Buzz!"

The blood-red mark on his wrist suddenly began to vibrate violently without warning!
A burning, stinging sensation came from the mark and instantly spread throughout the body.

Su Yu groaned and withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

The blood-red mark vibrated more and more intensely, as if issuing some kind of warning, or as if it were resonating with the room.

He could clearly sense that an invisible force was trying to draw out of the mark and connect to the small room.

At the same time, a strange chill rose from the soles of my feet and quickly enveloped my entire body.

The room, which had initially just felt a bit cold, now exuded a chilling atmosphere.

In the dim light, the eyes of the rag dolls seemed to gleam with an eerie light; the certificates on the wall also looked like pale human faces.

"Danger!"

Su Yu had no doubt that if he continued to investigate further, or if he triggered the power of the blood-red mark, something extremely terrible might happen.

What made him even more uneasy was that not only this small room, but also the dark corridor outside, felt filled with malice, as if countless eyes were lurking in the darkness, greedily watching him.

No, we must leave here immediately!

Su Yu acted decisively, without the slightest hesitation. He endured the burning pain and trembling from the blood-red mark, turned abruptly, and stepped out of the eerie dormitory.

He didn't dare look back, and almost staggered as he rushed out of the dark corridor and back into his suite.

"boom!"

He slammed the door shut behind him, as if to shut out all danger and eeriness.

Only when he was bathed again in the soft light and fragrance of the suite did Su Yu breathe a sigh of relief, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

The lingering effects of the bloody mark on my wrist hadn't subsided; it was still slightly hot, but the intense sense of crisis had finally subsided considerably.

He stared at the closed door, still shaken, his mind filled with confusion.

That room... those photos of the sisters... especially the familiar younger sister... what exactly happened?

Why does the blood-red mark react so strongly?

Just as Su Yu was feeling uneasy and trying to clear her mind—

"Boom... boom..."

Footsteps could be heard outside!
Su Yu's nerves instantly tightened to the limit!
This is the courtyard system space, his absolutely private domain. No one else can enter except him!

unless……

He held his breath, every muscle in his body tensed, his gaze fixed on the door. The footsteps were slow and steady, each one feeling heavy and oppressive, like a blow to his heart.

The footsteps stopped outside the main house door.

Su Yu's heart was in his throat. He could even feel that there was a "person" standing quietly outside the door, and an invisible gaze seemed to penetrate the door and fall on him.

"Knock knock knock..."

There was a knock on the door.

The four tones, neither too light nor too heavy, carried a suffocating eeriness.
