Excessive ferocity due to caution

The two wandered around the second floor but couldn't find what they needed.

So they headed up to the third floor.

"Prepare for battle."

Zhao Yi reminded him and took out the scalpel.

The viewers in the live stream held their breath, cautiously peering into the darkness above the stairs.

Generally speaking, any place where critical items are stored is not absolutely safe.

For example, the old butler Che Lin's room, or the storage room.

As soon as the two stepped onto the third floor, a gust of cold wind blew in, and Zhao Yi quickly ducked his head, his sharp hair slicing through the air like a knife!

If they had been even a fraction of a second slower, Zhao Yi would have been beheaded!

However, the probing will not stop from someone whose mind is only focused on causing trouble.

He peeked out again.

Hair returns!

But this time, Zhao Yi held up a scalpel in front of him!

The hair was split in two the instant it touched the scalpel, losing all its strength!

The two jumped directly to the third floor, and the sight before them stunned them.

A pale female ghost in a red dress is frantically whipping the motionless paper effigy of the steward in front of her with her hair!

The latter was covered in tatters and blood!

The female ghost was in no better condition, with obvious and hideous wounds on her body.

It was obviously left behind when he was being chased by the paper effigy manager.

She opened her blood-red maw, bared her teeth at the two of them, and pounced!

"Hold her back!"

Zhao shouted at Luo Qili and then rolled away from the female ghost's attack range.

Luo Qili stared at the female ghost charging towards her and clenched her buttocks tightly!

Grass!

What a familiar scene!

Isn't this a recreation of the scene in the secret passage of Kara Asylum?

"Why me again?!"

Luo Qili exclaimed in surprise, narrowly dodging the first wave of attacks from the female ghost, and shifting her position several times, distributing her soul weapons in an alternating pattern.

However, it was clear that her soul weapon was far inferior to Zhao Yi's and could not sever the stubborn hair of the female ghost that was attached to resentment!

They could barely hold on!

The two, one human and one ghost, went back and forth, but Luo Qili's power was limited to 10 points, restricting her skills.

In less than three minutes, a tuft of ghostly hair wrapped around Luo Qili's long legs!

Luo Qili's lips twitched as she looked at the ghostly face that the female ghost had gathered around her.

"What shampoo do you use, girl?"

"Your hair is in pretty good quality, isn't it?"

Perhaps it was because I spent too much time with Zhao Yi that I was infected by his influence.

Before she died, she couldn't help but make a lame joke.

The female ghost ignored her and opened her blood-red maw, ready to swallow her head whole!

At the critical moment, a sliver of a bright moon streaked across the sky, and the female ghost's head flew off!

The foul-smelling blood gushed out!

Its face showed a look of fear and resentment.

The cut was smooth, and what fell was a paper Guan Dao (a type of halberd)!

Luo Qili was panting heavily, beads of sweat running down her neck. She turned her head and saw that the paper effigy steward had somehow broken free of his restraints!

It holds a knife in one hand and a stick of incense to quell its spirit in the other!

"That ghost lured the steward into the Moon Gazing Tower and used the tower's power to suppress him."

Zhao Yi pulled Luo Qili up from the ground, took out the steward's [Fire Cavalry Commander] plaque, and placed it in front of the paper figure steward.

"Listen to me, Steward... your master is in big trouble..."

Zhao Yi recounted the events to Che Lin and informed him that the First Madam's flesh puppet had gone to the second floor. Che Lin immediately lost his composure, grabbed his Guan Dao, smashed through the window, and charged towards the main house!

"Can Che Lin defeat the First Madam's flesh puppet?"

Luo Qili's tone was hesitant.

While rummaging through drawers and cabinets in the room, Zhao Yi replied:

"This wouldn't have been a problem before... but it's going to be tough now."

"He's badly injured, and... the closer that flesh puppet gets to his heart, the stronger it becomes!"

Seeing Zhao Yi's busy appearance, Luo Qili picked up a round glass ornament:

"Is this what you're looking for?"

Zhao Yi's eyes lit up.

"Where did you get it?"

Luo Qili replied:

"On the body of a female ghost."

"I noticed a small bump on her body just now, and I thought it was her weakness, but it wasn't."

Zhao Yi examined the glass ball.

It exudes a very warm power that can restore the player's sanity and soothe their emotions.

"This...is this the master's heart?"

Luo Qili was surprised.

Zhao Yi replied:

"right."

"We need to find a way to put this thing into the First Madam's chest."

"It will dispel all the First Madam's resentment... and naturally, it will kill her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Qili stared in astonishment:

"Just...just the two of us?"

Zhao Yi:

"And there's Steward Che Lin."

"quick!"

"Our time...is running out!"

The two quickly left Wangyue Tower and ran towards the main residence!

By this time, the moonlight had been completely swallowed up by the dark, heavy clouds, and the oppressive chill made it almost impossible to breathe.

A strange power erupted from the two-story main house ahead, surging and crashing like a tide towards every corner of the haunted house!

"Zhao Yi! I have a preliminary idea..."

Luo Qili felt her legs go weak as she experienced this overwhelming power!

This is something they, with their current combat power of only 5, simply cannot contend with!

Zhao Yi didn't speak, but glanced at the second floor.

He suddenly tossed the token of the chief steward to Luo Qili and said:

"If you don't want to die, hurry to the second madam's residence and tell her what's going on here!"

"We can't do this final battle without her!"

Luo Qili hurriedly took the token and gritted her teeth as she looked at Zhao Yi, saying:

"Zhao Yi, you have to hold on! I'll be back as soon as possible!"

Without looking back, she took off running.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion came from the second floor of the main house behind us!

Chief Steward Che Lin flew out from the second floor with his Guan Dao (a type of halberd) and landed lightly on the ground.

Its injuries were even more severe, and it was almost falling apart!

A terrifying, grotesque laugh echoed from the second floor!

Two figures appeared at the same time!

One is a flesh puppet of the First Lady with a huge bloody hole in her chest containing a bloody heart; the other is a heartless zombie with a rotting face and an eerie aura...

"I finally..."

"Finally..."

"He's alive..."

The First Madam's lips parted into a terrifying arc, her eyes revealing boundless resentment and venom!

"Everyone in this house... must die!!!"
