For him, the Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao, this was a scene that almost caused his heart and lungs to stop.

Especially when he was completely unprepared, the sudden sight of such a shocking scene was no less impactful than seeing a corpse in a morgue and sitting up on your own.

Before he could even utter a sound, someone else was even faster. Before he could process the information he was seeing, a hand swiftly reached out from the side, grabbed the eyeball from the clip, and threw it into the darkness beside him. The speed was so fast that he couldn't even react.

"you……"

"Keep your voice down, don't make a scene."

Pretending to go get the freshly grilled skewers, blocking the view of Fengye and the others, Bai Chen deliberately kept his voice extremely low.

"Also, don't look up."

Upon hearing Bai Chen's words, Dao Ke Dao Chang Bu Chang Dao was immediately shocked. His logical reasoning ability was not bad. Combining the other party's actions and the information revealed earlier, he quickly deduced a terrifying fact.

—The corpse on the first floor was located directly above their heads!

Upon realizing this, the Dao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Without saying anything more, Bai Chen patted the other person's shoulder and then calmly sat back down by the fire.

"In short, I found our lost backpack on the second floor. This adventure notebook was found inside it by Yuanqing, but..."

"Where are the car keys?"

Before Bai Chen could finish speaking, Feng Ye suddenly interrupted him, sounding slightly nervous.

"The key? It's in the backpack too, of course."

Bai Chen glanced at the other person thoughtfully, then turned to look at Yuan Qing beside him.

His backpack was almost completely full, with no extra space left, so most of the things he found on the second floor were kept by Yuanqing.

Yuan Qing glanced at him but didn't reply. He simply took out the backpacks he had found on the second floor.

These adventurous college students were quite daring, but they clearly lacked planning skills. Apart from the necessary photography equipment, their backpacks were mostly filled with various snacks and drinks, and they even brought a large board game.

Clearly, they were treating this haunted house adventure as a team-building activity.

"Hmm, why are there only four backpacks?"

The bard was taken aback when he saw the backpack that Yuan Qing had taken out.

"Please, these are hard to find. With two mummified corpses chasing and biting you, it's already quite good that you found these bags. At least the most important items weren't lost."

With a slight purse of his lips, Bai Chen gestured to the other person with the adventure notebook in his hand while eating his kebabs.

"Although I still don't understand the meaning of the mission title 'A Wish,' after learning the background story, the plot is quite clear. It's mostly related to the five vengeful spirits trapped in this villa. So, my personal suggestion is to try starting from…"

"Sizzle—"

Suddenly, the camping lamp that Bai Chen had mounted on the sofa flickered.

"Is the power out?"

After a slight pause, the bard stood up from the bench, intending to inspect the camping lights.

However, before he could take a single step, after a few more hissing sounds, the camping lights suddenly went out, and the once brightly lit hall suddenly went dark.

Fortunately, thanks to the fire that Bai Chen had lit beforehand, everyone was not completely in the dark. However, perhaps due to psychological factors, the sense of security that had been brought about by the light quickly faded away like a tide.

—The bard had never felt the sound of the torrential rain outside so close and clear.

"Here comes the atmosphere you wanted."

Bai Chen took a bite of the apple in his hand, looking disgusted.

The bard: "..."

"Oh well, if it's broken, it's broken. Anyway, I brought more than one camping light."

While eating an apple, Bai Chen lazily stood up from the stool.

"Perfect timing, don't just sit around, help me..."

Just then, a bolt of lightning ripped across the sky, tearing a hole in the darkness of the hall.

It was at this moment that the bard suddenly saw a tall figure standing behind Chen Bai.

—In that figure's hand, there was a blood-stained kitchen knife.

"!!!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the bard's pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints.

(...Tiger King? When did he wake up? It was when the lights went out...!?)

The next second, an even more unbelievable scene appeared before him.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, just as the Tiger King raised the kitchen knife, Chen Bai took a step back with an almost imperceptible movement, bumping directly into the Tiger King.

It was just a slight movement, but the other person was hit hard, like a kite with a broken string, and fell back onto the sofa, startling the others, especially Dao Ke Dao, who jumped up in fright.

It was at this moment that the bard realized that the kitchen knife that Tiger King had been holding by hand had somehow fallen into Chen Bai's hands. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was drawn to Tiger King, Chen Bai silently twirled the kitchen knife in his hand a few times before quietly placing it back on the coffee table. In the process, he didn't even make a sound.

Seemingly noticing his gaze, the person turned to look in his direction, and after thinking for a moment, made a threatening gesture of slitting one's throat at him.

The bard: "..."

...This player with the ID [Dust White] is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Tiger King... he's awake?"

Upon discovering the true source of the sound, which was almost visible to the naked eye, Dao Ke Dao was greatly relieved.

But soon, the thought of the corpse that was now lying above them, coldly watching them, made him tense up again.

"I think so. They should be awake by now."

Nodding in agreement, Bai Chen took another camping lamp out of his backpack.

...Trying to ambush him?

Just kidding. With the blessing of the [Empty Valley Orchid Heart Technique], his attributes are already far ahead, not to mention that his [Perception] has reached the maximum value.

Although he hasn't reached the human limit in attributes like [strength], with the support of internal energy, the power he can unleash in a short period of time is absolutely beyond imagination.

...It's just a bit of a pity that my internal energy isn't enough.

Including the energy he used on the second floor, and the energy he used to help the bards recover by the swimming pool, he now has less than 2/3 of his internal energy left, and this instance has only been open for less than an hour.

—In the time to come, he will have to conserve his internal energy.
