"Ah! I left something in the room, I'll go back and get it..." Zou Yu suddenly said, standing up and apologetically addressing Yu Miaomiao.

Because she had something to eat in her mouth, Yu Miaomiao didn't speak, but nodded instead.

"Okay~ I'll be right back!" Zou Yu said, bypassing the dining table and running towards the stairs to the second floor.

Subconsciously, Leng Yihan looked at Zou Yu, and once she did, she couldn't look away.

The foot that had appeared out of nowhere behind Ruan Qi is now... behind Zou Yu...

221 The Girl in the Villa (8)

"..." Leng Yihan withdrew her gaze from Zou Yu and began eating her breakfast with mixed feelings.

He didn't know if Zou Yu would die because of this, after all, Ruan Qi had died in front of him yesterday, yet she was still standing here alive... There were just too many mysteries.

But that's how it is. I have to find the ring tonight, because I'm leaving tomorrow. The exit opens at six in the morning, right...?

Leng Yihan thought to himself, stuffing several large mouthfuls of macaroni into his mouth and chewing slowly. He also wanted to figure out Ruan Qi's situation, but clues... don't just appear out of thin air.

The only two known clues so far are the ghost in the villa and the foot behind the two people. Leng Yihan is not entirely sure what the foot behind the person symbolizes, but he has a guess.

The condition for death is that if anyone's foot appears behind them, then that person may be targeted and killed by the ghost tonight. As long as no one else provokes the ghost, it will only attack the person whose foot appears behind them...

Of course, this is just speculation, and Leng Yihan has not confirmed it, as the cost of confirmation would be extremely high.

After quickly finishing breakfast, Leng Yihan did not leave alone, but waited for the others to finish eating. After the three players finished eating, Yu Miaomiao, who had disappeared early after finishing her meal, reappeared in front of everyone.

"These are all game props. I brought them over because I was afraid you'd be bored. I'm sorry there are no electronic devices." Yu Miaomiao's voice seemed to carry a slight apology.

"No, no, it's alright," Leng Yihan quickly replied.

"Okay, you can play here then. You can only have fun in the lobby. The other areas have other uses. If you want to explore the villa, that's fine too, but please don't go out at night. That's all, I'm going back to my room to sleep." After saying that, Yu Miaomiao didn't leave like Shunyu, but walked back to the second floor step by step.

Leng Yihan looked at Leng Binglan, and the moment their eyes met, they both understood each other's thoughts and decided to go to the villa to explore.

“I’ll go take a look around the rest of the villa,” Leng Yihan said, standing up.

"Hey? Then I'll go too!" Zou Yu saw Leng Yihan stand up and immediately stood up as well.

"No need, you're scared, aren't you? Stay here with Xuzhou and Ruan Qi, and wait for us to come back." Leng Yihan said.

"You mean you're going with Sister Xue and Xia Bing?" Zou Yu was immediately unhappy when she heard that Leng Yihan didn't mention the other two people in her words, and that she only wanted to take them.

"Sister Zou...we're going to some really scary places! Super dangerous! Super scary! Sister Zou, do you really want to come along?" Leng Binglan walked up and hugged Zou Yu's arm, speaking in a sweet and coquettish voice, which charmed the five people on the scene except herself.

"...But, but Xia Bing, if you're not afraid, what right do I have to talk about being afraid!" Zou Yu swallowed, clearly still very scared.

"Don't worry, Sister Zou. I've seen a lot of things like this since I was little, so I'm not scared. Sister Xue and Brother Lin are both people who adapt to their surroundings easily, so they're not very afraid. Just wait for us here! We'll be back soon!" Seeing that clasping her arms didn't seem to be very effective, Leng Binglan hugged Zou Yu completely instead.

"Um! Well... well..." Zou Yu pouted, seemingly going through a huge internal struggle, "...Alright then, you guys have to come back quickly and safely." Without asking where they were going, Zou Yu wasn't stupid; she had already realized that something was wrong with this house.

"Okay, I promise." Leng Yihan nodded in assurance and then left the hall with Leng Binglan and Feixue, deciding to start exploring from the first floor.

The first part of the exploration area is basically rooms, rooms, rooms, rooms... all empty rooms, with dust accumulated for a long time, indicating that no one has cleaned them.

They quickly finished looking at the first area, which was indeed not very big. Leng Yihan and her team didn't find any clues, but they didn't lose heart. They quickly focused their attention on the kitchen area.

After leaving the area, the three of them jogged to the kitchen door and gently pushed it open. Inside, Dongxu was finally not as messy as the other places. On the contrary, it was very tidy. All the tableware, bowls, chopsticks and other items were arranged as if by someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder. After seeing this, Leng Yihan reminded everyone not to mess things up and then opened the refrigerator to take a look.

After opening the refrigerator, Leng Yihan quickly glanced at it and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no strange ingredients. At least the food he had been eating for the past few days had been relatively normal.

The food in the refrigerator was neatly arranged. Leng Yihan quickly flipped through it and, finding nothing there, put everything back neatly without making a mess.

"How are you all?" Leng Yihan asked as she walked to the door.

"It's terrible, we didn't find anything..." Leng Binglan.

“Me too…” Feixue.

"Oh...I see..." Leng Yihan said, opening the kitchen door that had been closed for him, then stood there stunned.

"...What are you doing?" Yu Miaomiao stood expressionlessly at the door, and the two people who were still rummaging through things in the kitchen immediately stopped what they were doing.

"Do you know how long it took me to organize all this?" Yu Miaomiao's voice gradually turned angry, and it seemed that she was trying her best to endure it.

"I...I'm sorry..." Leng Yihan apologized decisively. At this moment, he was sweating profusely. In the morning, she had brought back a boy named Ruan Qi who was over 16 years old, and she seemed to be handling him with ease. She must be quite strong. If she had attacked him, Leng Yihan had no confidence that he would survive in her hands.

"...This is the first and last time. Organize these things properly, at least make them look less unpleasant to us." Yu Miaomiao glanced at the kitchen, then walked in, opened the refrigerator, and nodded in satisfaction when she saw that the ingredients inside were fairly neat.

Leng Yihan glanced at the two women a few times, then came over to help them rearrange the mess they had made. After receiving Yu Miaomiao's forgiveness, the three of them left the kitchen dejectedly.

"Let's go to the garage next," Leng Yihan said. This is definitely where the little girl had her accident in the CG, but so far, there is no sign of the little girl's villa in the villa. After thinking for a long time, Leng Yihan decided to go to the garage first. In the CG, the little girl undoubtedly realized that something was wrong with her mother, but what exactly happened in the end is unknown.

“Okay.” Leng Binglan naturally had no objections. Although half a year had passed, there was still a chance of finding some clues.

Leng Yihan thought about the location of the garage for a moment, then walked along the corridor and soon arrived at the garage. To be honest, if there hadn't been a sign saying that this was the garage, Leng Yihan wouldn't have known that there was a garage behind this door.

Arriving at the door with the sign that read "Garage," Leng Yihan pushed it open, sniffed the air, and his expression immediately changed.

"Holy crap, what's that smell?!"

222 The Girl in the Villa (9)

"Holy crap! What's that smell?!" Leng Yihan covered his nose and took several steps back as he released the doorknob. Although he asked the question, he already knew what it smelled like.

"It's the stench of a rotting corpse." Leng Binglan frowned slightly, pushed open the garage door. The garage was dark, and she couldn't see anything. Instead of going in, she felt around on the wall inside the doorway for a while. Finally, with a click, the garage lights turned on.

"..." The light only shone for a moment, and before Leng Yihan could see what was inside, Leng Binglan had already locked the door.

“…Ice Blue?” Leng Yihan asked tentatively.

"I'm sorry... It's been a while since I've seen such a disgusting scene... I'm actually a little uncomfortable..." Leng Binglan's expression wasn't good. She raised her left hand, which she had just reached in to grope, her face full of disgust.

"Why are you so disgusted with your own hands?!" Leng Yihan complained.

"Because I was just one step away from touching and coming into contact with something terrible, I'm not only disgusted but also relieved that I didn't touch those things." Leng Binglan still looked disgusted. After a while, she seemed to feel that she had rested enough, so she pushed the door open again.

This time, Leng Yihan saw what was happening above the garage. Something was tangled up on the lights. Leng Yihan squinted and took a closer look, and her hair stood on end. Those things... were intestines...

As Leng Binglan pushed open more doors and went inside, Leng Yihan followed her in in order to see more. But as soon as he entered, he saw a severed head placed on the front of the car directly opposite him, and the contents inside had vanished.

"—" Leng Yihan's stomach churned violently. The disgusting scene before him, combined with the suffocating air, was almost killing him.

"This air smells awful—wow, what is this? Intestines? A head that's been opened? A thing with twenty limbs, toes, and fingers that's been dismembered? And a human heart, and..." Fei Xue's calmness exceeded Leng Yihan's expectations.

"Stop, stop, stop! I know you're not afraid! Can you please stop talking now?!" Leng Yihan quickly interrupted.

"Hmph... It's just a more realistic horror movie, what's there to be afraid of?" Feixue snorted disdainfully and walked into the garage.

"Bang!" The door was slammed shut. Leng Yihan was stunned and quickly reached out to open it, but found that she couldn't turn it open no matter what she did. She sniffed the air again and found that the previous smell was gone. Leng Yihan then turned around and realized that all her organs were gone. This garage was a very normal garage.

"What's going on?" Leng Yihan immediately became alert upon seeing this scene. Leng Binglan slowly walked to Leng Yihan's side and pointed to the iron gate of the garage.

"?" Leng Yihan looked puzzled, but he soon realized what had happened. The sound of a car engine reached his ears, the iron gate was opened, and the girl's cries for help came from inside the car.

"Who are you?! Where are you going?! Help! Help me!!! Help me!!!" the girl screamed, but the woman driving remained indifferent and unmoved. After parking the car in the corner of the garage, she got out, leaving the trembling girl behind, and put down a table that was stuck to the wall next to her.

She then took out a bundle of rope and walked towards the girl. The girl was powerless to resist and screamed as her phone fell to the ground as she was being dragged out of the car, leaving several cracks.

Then the most horrifying scene unfolded. The woman coldly tied the girl to the table. The girl seemed to be frozen in place and couldn't move at all. Before she could react, the woman had already taken out a toolbox containing all sorts of tools.

Tools for dissecting humans.

Next, the three witnessed a scene of dissecting a living person and committing a murder up close. Strangely, the girl, whose internal organs had all been removed and who was left with only a complete head, was still screaming and calling for help.

"Help me! Help me—" The girl's voice gradually distorted and became shrill until finally all that came out of her mouth was a scream... or rather, a shrill sound that sounded like laughter.

"Hahaha—hahahaha—" Leng Yihan was very familiar with this voice; it was the voice of the ghost that chased them last night.

The woman's abuse didn't end there. She took out a huge, puppet-like thing from a large drawer embedded in the wall under the table and placed it on the table. Although she didn't know the body, Leng Yihan would never forget the face.

The woman picked up the knife again and gave the puppet the girl's vocal cords, as well as her head and brains. Instantly, the puppet emitted the same sharp laughter that the girl had just made.

"This... is really disgusting..." Leng Yihan thought to herself. None of the three of them dared to speak, as if the woman would find out if they did.

"Click..." The door opened, and a little girl with bright red hair walked in. She looked at the woman in the garage with a puzzled expression, then at the smiling puppet on the table, as if she suddenly understood something.

"Mommy...is that you?" the little girl asked. If Leng Yihan wasn't mistaken, this girl was Yu Miaomiao...

"...It's Mom." When the woman saw Yu Miaomiao, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and her appearance changed again, showing that Yu Miaomiao had grown up and become more mature.

"Mommy~" Yu Miaomiao ran and jumped into the woman's arms, not caring about the blood on her body, and happily rubbed against her.

"Mommy, when can we play outside freely? Miaomiao wants to go to the amusement park with you! To ride the Ferris wheel! And the roller coaster!" Yu Miaomiao looked up and said excitedly.

"Good girl, trust Mommy, soon... soon Mommy will be able to take you out to play." The woman gently patted Yu Miaomiao's head. Throughout the entire time, she only showed such a gentle expression when facing Yu Miaomiao.

Everything in front of them disappeared again, and the corpse reappeared in the garage. The air was still filled with the stench of decay, and the door connecting the garage and the villa was open.

"...Was that...was that Yu Miaomiao, the little girl, and her mother...?" Feixue asked after a moment of hesitation.

"Yes, it should be. The appearance is so similar, and she even calls herself 'Miaomiao,' so it should be Yu Miaomiao herself. As for the woman's identity, we still can't be sure. Don't forget, that ghost can turn into anyone." Leng Binglan immediately thought of this after reading it.

"You mean... that ghost isn't Yu Miaomiao's mother, but just someone who saw what Yu Miaomiao's mother looked like and transformed into her to deceive Yu Miaomiao?" Leng Yihan asked.

“I was just saying it’s possible,” Leng Binglan said.

"Tap...tap...tap..." A familiar sound rang out not far from the door. Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan's expressions changed immediately. Leng Binglan knew the ghost was not far away without even going out. Who knew that Feixue would close the door immediately.

"We're doomed!" Leng Binglan's expression changed, and Feixue was no better off, realizing that she had also done something wrong.

"Don't make a sound! Minimize your presence!" At this moment, Leng Yihan became much calmer and quickly stepped forward to hug Feixue while covering her mouth.

"Click..." The door opened, and through the crack, Leng Yihan saw the ghost standing in the doorway, still wearing the cloak she had seen the night before...

The ghost walked into the garage step by step, raised its head, and looked around the garage...

223 The Girl in the Villa (10)

"..." The garage was quiet. Leng Yihan hugged Feixue tightly, covered her mouth, and retreated to the corner of the wall, afraid that she would make a sound.

"Thud..." After entering the garage, the blood on the ghost stopped dripping, but the temperature around it was still frighteningly low. Even though Leng Yihan was several meters away from it, she couldn't help but shiver.

Leng Yihan glanced at Leng Binglan, who had already retreated to a corner and was cautiously watching the ghost. The ghost looked around the garage and then looked away.

"...Didn't they see us?" Leng Yihan wondered to herself. Could it be that this ghost...relies on something else to see people?

But how did it find out about me and Binglan yesterday...?

Leng Yihan was puzzled. It hadn't closed the door, but left it open so the three of them could leave at any time. However, seeing that the ghost seemed unable to detect her, Leng Yihan's resolve to leave changed.

She glanced at Leng Binglan, who seemed to have no intention of leaving and was intently watching the ghost, wondering what it was doing there.
