Strange things happen, and I drive the evil god mad by chasing debts.

Just then, He Wen hugged her tightly and whispered softly in her ear, "Wait for me... I'll make all the people in my way disappear."

After saying this, He Wen turned and left the house, and Shen Qingchan was finally freed.

Pei Wuwang, still the steward of the He family, rushed forward to help Shen Qingchan as she was freed from her restraints and swayed precariously.

The other person's arms were slender and soft, and there was an indescribable feeling when I held them.

His ears turned red again without him even noticing: "Are you... are you alright?"

Shen Qingchan steadied herself and did not notice him.

The youngest sister of the He family collapsed to the ground, crawled over, and hugged Shen Qingchan's legs tightly: "Sister... Sister, thank goodness you're alright..."

"Your sister almost got into trouble," Shen Qingchan said casually.

Upon hearing this, He's younger sister hugged him even tighter.

"Sweetie, do you want your sister to be alright?" Shen Qingchan lifted her arm, like she was carrying a chick.

He's younger sister nodded vigorously.

Shen Qingchan opened the dilapidated door and dragged the person outside: "Do you know who my lover is? Take me to him."

Pei Wuwang asked, puzzled, "Why do you want to see him?"

Shouldn't the most important thing right now be to investigate how He Wen massacred the He family?

Shen Qingchan put her hands on her hips and explained, "Only by finding the key figures can we unlock more plot details."

He's younger sister stood blankly at the door, not understanding what her older sister was saying. Shen Qingchan gently nudged her with her toe and commanded, "Little sister, take me there quickly."

The youngest sister of the He family hesitated for a long time: "But brother... brother will seal you... he will imprison you..."

"Seal?" Shen Qingchan grasped at an unfamiliar word.

Can He Wen still seal her away?

Could He Shuang's death be due to the seal?

He's younger sister's throat made gurgling sounds, and she didn't say anything more.

"Don't worry, he can't seal me away. Take me to my little lover now."

Urged on, the younger sister of the He family had no choice but to reluctantly move her feet and lead the way for Shen Qingchan.

As they passed the mourning hall, Pei Wuwang spoke up to warn, "We can't let her look towards the mourning hall!"

Shen Qingchan naturally understood this, but she casually reminded He Xiaomei, "Don't look around, keep walking straight, or your dear sister will disappear."

Pei Wuwang was still pondering whether this would really be useful.

To everyone's surprise, He Jia's younger sister froze for a moment, then nodded obediently.

Pei Wuwang: "..."

Pei Wuwang: "By the way, the red moon is high in the sky now, so we can't leave the manor."

Shen Qingchan raised an eyebrow slightly: "We're not leaving the manor."

Pei Wuwang was puzzled and couldn't understand: "Huh?"

Shen Qingchan said unhurriedly, "Today, the entire He family is keeping vigil. He Shuang and her lover are deeply in love. If you were He Shuang, what would be the most suitable time?"

Pei Wuwang pursed his lips: "Having an affair...?"

Shen Qingchan nodded: "Not bad, you could guess it."

He Xiaomei led the two through the side hall and all the way to the most secluded courtyard of the He family.

There was hardly a soul in sight; a chilling wind howled, and the red light overhead was blinding.

He Xiaomei led everyone to stand in front of a rotten wooden door, her finger trembling as she said, "It's...this place."

Shen Qingchan pushed open the heavy door. The wooden door creaked open, revealing an exceptionally clean interior without a trace of decay.

He was completely out of place in the entire He family mansion.

A man sat upright at the table, fanning himself with a fan, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Shen Qingchan went inside, and the candles in the room suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire room.

Shen Qingchan sized up the man in front of her.

The other party was dressed in a bright red brocade wedding robe, the color of which was deep and luxurious, a true crimson that was thoroughly dyed with cinnabar.

It inexplicably... matched her clothes.

She stared at him for a while, and the other person also stood up, smirking and staring at her for a long time.

Those fox-like eyes were alluring, inexplicably captivating.

At that moment, the system's voice interrupted her wandering thoughts.

[Key plot character detected: Bai Si.]

[Identity: Chief Envoy of the Demon Suppression Division of the Great Xia Dynasty.]

[Strength Level: ???]

[Character's identity in the Memorial Hall instance: Xie Fan (He Shuang's partner)]

Just as the panel in front of him gave a notification, Pei Wuwang stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Master, what are you doing here?"

Bai Si slightly pursed his lips and walked towards the crowd: "Since you're here, I'm naturally here too."

That sound...

Shen Qingchan narrowed her eyes slightly.

It's that man!

So this man was just the head of the Demon Suppression Division?

Pei Wuwang inexplicably sensed hostility in the other person's words, and he was somewhat bewildered.

When she looked up again, she saw that the mastermind had already walked up to Shen Qingchan.

He snapped the fan shut, rested one end against his chin, and gazed at her thoughtfully: "I've been looking for you too."

"Then why are you sitting here waiting for me? I didn't see you come looking for me," Shen Qingchan retorted, hands on her hips, clearly annoyed.

Bai Si chuckled softly upon hearing this, his smile reaching his eyes: "It's just that it's too dirty outside, so I waited for you here."

After saying that, she sighed softly, "You've kept me waiting for so long."

Shen Qingchan: "..."

For some reason, she felt inexplicably annoyed when she saw this man.

Shen Qingchan strode over and sat down on the stool, speaking without any politeness:

"Since it's the mastermind, he must have a way to get us out of here."

The implication was that she didn't intend to get involved anymore.

Bai Si chuckled softly, somewhat embarrassed, "Of course there is a way, but it requires Miss Shen's cooperation... oh, now it's Miss He."

"How can we cooperate?" Shen Qingchan lifted her eyelids to look at him.

Bai Si stretched out his hand and placed it in front of her, which puzzled Shen Qingchan.

The other person explained, "We've become too distant. We're supposed to be partners, so it shouldn't be like this."

Shen Qingchan nodded and placed her hand in the other person's palm. It was cool, not like a living person's hand.

But it has the elastic skin of a living person.

The word "god" that Dong Shen uttered flashed through Shen Qingchan's mind, but quickly disappeared.

The other person gently pulled her up, and Shen Qingchan was pulled off the stool and stood up. Before she could react, she almost fell.

Unexpectedly, the other person wrapped their other arm around her waist and steadied her.

His warm breath gently sprayed onto her temples.

The other party said in a low voice, "We are partners. As long as we provoke He Wen, the entire storyline of the instance can get back on track."

"After all, the dungeon gives us identities so we can recreate the storyline." Bai Si glanced at the door. "Don't you think so, Miss Shen?"

Shen Qingchan was somewhat surprised to find that the other person's thoughts were exactly the same as hers.

"So... what do we need to do now?"

He Wen hadn't even arrived yet, and the other person was already grabbing her and holding her.

Isn't this a bit unnecessary?

As Shen Qingchan was thinking, a gust of cold wind swept in, making her red wedding dress rustle loudly.
