My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

The gaze returned to the ghost. After it entered, it went straight to the front of the car, took off the cloak covering its body, and threw it aside.

Upon seeing the body below, Leng Yihan's pupils constricted sharply, terrified. The ghost's abdomen had been hollowed out, revealing a head—the head of the person who had claimed to be Yu Miaomiao's mother. Both of the ghost's wrists had wounds from which blood was constantly flowing. Leng Yihan couldn't fathom where the blood in this ghost's body came from.

After tossing the cloak aside, the ghost cautiously extended its hand. Its ten fingers were all very slender and sharp, which made it look quite shrewd. Perhaps that was why it picked up the head so carefully. After picking it up, it pressed its face, which had only patterns and no expression, against the head and rubbed it intimately.

Did he just come here to linger with his own corpse...?

Leng Yihan thought that she originally wanted to see if the ghost would make any other moves, but she saw it holding such a head against her head for more than ten minutes, and occasionally rubbing against it, as if it was very affectionate.

After watching for a while, Leng Yihan decided to leave. It was no longer safe to stay. If the ghost discovered them, all three of them would surely die.

Leng Yihan looked towards Leng Binglan's position and saw that she was also looking at her, so she quickly gestured for Leng Binglan to leave.

Leng Binglan nodded upon seeing this, quietly stood up, and crept towards the door, quickly and safely leaving the garage.

Leng Yihan released Feixue, signaling her to leave. Feixue, her face flushed, knew this wasn't the time to argue, and quickly started walking away.

"Crack!" The sound was so clear in the quiet room that Leng Yihan's expression changed. She didn't even care what she had stepped on. She quickly picked up Feixue and rushed out of the garage, closing the door behind her in a flash, hoping to buy some time.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..." The ghost wasn't laughing this time, but crying as it pushed open the door. Its movements were no longer as agile as they had been the night before; even in the real world, Leng Yihan could easily chase and beat it.

The ghost could only watch the three leave with resentment, continuously emitting its dull, oppressive sobs.

If the three of them turned around and looked closely at this moment, they would see that the sound was coming from the head inside the demon's abdomen...

"Huff... huff..." The three stopped in the hall. The three NPCs looked at the three panting people running from another corridor, completely bewildered.

"W-what happened? What's going on?" Zou Yu abandoned the ongoing game of Dou Dizhu, dropped her cards, and rushed to Leng Yihan's side in a panic.

Leng Yihan put Feixue down. Although she was panting a little, she had at least carried Feixue for such a long distance. Fortunately, the original owner of this body seemed to exercise regularly, which allowed Leng Yihan to escape.

Looking at Leng Binglan, although she was also panting, she was clearly much better than Leng Yihan, and her recovery speed was also very fast, which made Leng Yihan wonder if there was something wrong with the character Xia Bing.

"Phew—it's alright, it's probably all right now..." Leng Yihan said, cautiously glancing back. It seemed the ghost hadn't followed them.

"Hmm...it seems safe now." Leng Yihan turned her head, only to see Zou Yu's face turn deathly pale.

"?" Leng Yihan had just begun to wonder when she immediately turned her head. The end of the corridor was still empty.

"Oh my god... that thing is following us..." Fei Xue was being carried by Leng Yihan, so her strength was not depleted, but she kept looking at the end of the corridor because she was worried.

"What... what is that... Sister Xue..." Zou Yu's face turned deathly pale with fright. "That... is that a person... did I see... did I see a person's head...?"

“…There’s something wrong with this house, Zou Yu. Be careful tonight.” Leng Yihan turned to look at Zou Yu, glancing at the pair of feet behind her out of the corner of her eye.

"No, no, this place really is haunted..." Zou Yu's body trembled involuntarily.

"That thing... won't come looking for us, will it..." Xu Zhou and Ruan Qi's expressions were also not good. It was obvious that they had also seen the ghost come over.

"Could it be... that I was the only one who didn't see it?" Leng Yihan broke out in a cold sweat. If that guy had tried to ambush her back then, he might have succeeded... even though they were so far apart.

“It looks like it. I saw it too, that guy,” Leng Binglan said.

"Could it be... the danger you're talking about is... that thing we don't know what it is?" Zou Yu asked Leng Yihan. Leng Yihan hesitated for a moment before nodding.

“Don’t be afraid. It looks like he can’t get here. The lobby should be safe. He won’t dare to come over,” Leng Yihan said. “I’m going to check the second floor. You guys stay here.”

"I..." Zou Yu was about to say something, but Xu Zhou interrupted him: "Zou Yu, you shouldn't go either. You might just be a hindrance to them."

“…Okay…so…” Xu Zhou’s words made sense, and Zou Yu couldn’t find any rebuttal, so he had no choice but to stay there.

"Let's go up to the second floor while it's still on the first floor," Leng Yihan said. That area was the last piece of the map on the first floor; now it's time to go to the second floor.

“…Be careful,” Zou Yu said, looking at Leng Yihan.

"Hmm." Leng Yihan nodded and walked upstairs. Although she had just rested for a while, her body was still quite convenient, even a little better than Leng Yihan's physical condition before cultivation.

After going up to the second floor, the first place Leng Yihan wanted to go was naturally the place he and Leng Binglan had been to the night before.

"Brother... I've discovered something. The only time we can safely explore might be in the morning," Leng Binglan said. "Its power is significantly weaker during the day compared to at night..."

224 The Girl in the Villa (11)

“Its power in the morning is much weaker than at night…” Leng Binglan said, looking at Leng Yihan who had turned around.

“…Is that so? That’s why we can’t catch up.” Leng Yihan muttered, then looked around and said, “Then we need to speed up.”

"Mm." Leng Binglan nodded.

"Huh? What are you talking about?!" Feixue was a little confused by their conversation.

"..." Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan looked at Feixue with disgust.

"Why are you looking at me like that?! I really don't know what you're talking about!!!" Feixue was also helpless. She really didn't understand what the two of them were talking about... Why did the topic jump so quickly?

"I have a question for you, Feixue, what time is it now?" Leng Yihan turned around and said helplessly.

"Huh? How should I know..." Feixue.

"Then why don't you know?" Leng Yihan asked.

"Because I don't have a watch or a phone with me, how am I supposed to know what time it is?" Feixue asked.

"..." Leng Yihan remained silent, just staring at Feixue, wondering when she would finally react.

A few seconds later, Feixue suddenly remembered something and muttered to herself, "Right... a normal home should have a clock or something like that, right... why haven't I seen anything that tells time since I came to the villa..."

"By the way," Leng Yihan took out her phone, and the screen lit up, showing that it still had 32% battery left.

"I'd always thought this phone was weird, but when I was looking for my room just now, I noticed there was no clock, so I took it out to check." He handed the phone to Feixue. "That's when I realized it doesn't display the time..."

"So that means... without a timer, we don't know when the ghost will regain its full power?" Feixue suddenly realized.

“That’s right, so we took almost two more minutes to explain to you. Time is precious now, so let’s hurry up.” Leng Yihan turned off her phone and put it away.

Without further delay, Leng Yihan immediately turned around and walked quickly. He didn't search the house carefully at first; he wanted to confirm the size of the second floor of the villa as soon as possible.

The result is obvious; it is estimated that this area is only two-thirds of the area that Leng Yihan explored on her first visit.

But Leng Yihan didn't remember being this small last night. Just following the ghost's path had already brought her close to the edge, but...

Leng Yihan looked at the spot where the ghost had found them yesterday. There should have been a path here, and Leng Binglan had said that he saw the ghost and the corridor behind it at the same time, but now, there was only a wall...

"This is really... interesting." Leng Yihan walked forward and knocked on the wall. Judging from the sound, the wall behind her was solid, meaning there was no other way out.

“Could it be that you’ve misremembered?” Feixue suggested. “Impossible, I would never be wrong!” Leng Binglan was certain. “I definitely saw the ghost and the passage that continued to extend behind it. Yihan could also sense that the house was very large, and many of the forks in the road that should have existed were gone…”

“If I’m not mistaken, if we get trapped there tonight, something terrible is bound to happen,” Leng Yihan said.

“Yes… that’s certainly possible, but now is probably the fastest we can find the right room.” Leng Binglan turned around. “Let’s check all the rooms along the way; they might all disappear by nightfall.”

“Good idea, I agree.” Leng Yihan said, and immediately opened the first door at the end of the corridor, the place where the corridor disappeared behind the ghost.

Indeed, there is a high probability that there are some clues here.

When Leng Yihan pushed open the door, she was disappointed to see that it was just an ordinary room, exactly the same as the room where Leng Yihan and the others lived. After looking at it from the outside for a while, Leng Yihan went into the room, and Leng Binglan and Feixue followed her in.

"Bang!" The familiar sound of the door closing didn't frighten Leng Yihan; instead, she smiled happily. It seemed that his character was still excellent.

After all, our luck stat is off the charts, it would be an injustice if we didn't find something in the first room.

Suddenly, a window appeared in the wall of the room, and sunlight shone through the window onto the bed. The little girl lay on the bed, hugging a woman who looked exactly like her.

Leng Yihan recognized both Yu Miaomiao and the woman.

"Miaomiao, Miaomiao, wake up." The sunlight reminded the woman that it was already early morning and it was time to wake up Yu Miaomiao, who was still sleeping in her arms, to have breakfast.

"Um... Mom... I want to keep sleeping..." Yu Miaomiao, who had been woken up, hugged the woman and started talking to her. However, she still seemed drowsy and hadn't fully woken up. That made sense, otherwise why would she have asked the woman to let her sleep a little longer?

"Okay, sleep a little longer, you'll have to get up soon." The woman hesitated for a moment, then smiled gently.

"Mmm!" Upon hearing this, Yu Miaomiao loosened her grip on the woman and fell asleep peacefully.

"It can't be that simple," Leng Yihan thought. Soon, a knock came at the door, and the three of them quickly stood up and cautiously looked at the doorway.

"Come in." The gentle smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold expression as she looked at the doorway.

"Click..." The door opened, and the three of them suddenly lowered their breathing.

It's a ghost.

It wasn't wearing a cloak, and its abdomen wasn't hollowed out. It was completely different from the one Leng Yihan had just seen in the garage.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..." came out of its mouth, making this kind of crying sound.

"Is that so? The item is in the cellar under the main seat in the hall. Go there," the woman said.

"Waaah... Waaah..." The thing's voice was still crying, but it was clear that it seemed a little happier amidst the crying.

The screen changed again; it was over, but a message had already been given.

“There’s something in the cellar under the main seat…” Leng Yihan said, looking at the wall. There was indeed a window, but compared to before… there was one less window, which Leng Yihan had just noticed.

"Yes... Shall we go now?" Feixue asked.

“…Let’s look around the room again to see if there’s anything else before we leave.” Leng Binglan glanced around the room and then walked toward the bed where they had just seen Yu Miaomiao and the woman lying.

After glancing at it, Leng Yihan walked to the wardrobe in the corner, opened it, and sure enough, there was nothing inside...

"Is there nothing here?" Leng Yihan muttered, then opened the next drawer. This time, there was finally something there.

It was a note.

You are a human being.

It says this above.

"Hiss... Is this what 'cannot view' means...? That's really troublesome." Leng Yihan was a little helpless. In Nightmare Mode, she couldn't even view five bottles, but what exactly did "you are human" mean?

"Click..." The door opened, and the three of them looked towards the entrance before immediately backing away, warily eyeing the creature outside.

"Waaah...waaah..." The ghost stood at the door, wailing...

225 The Girl in the Villa (12)

"I [censored]!!!" Leng Yihan couldn't help but shout it out loud. She immediately realized her mistake and quickly covered her mouth, but... it was too late.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah!!!" The ghost seemed to have found some prey, and happily cried as it 'walked' towards Leng Yihan, completely ignoring Leng Binglan and Feixue.

"You guys go first!!!" Leng Yihan roared, "I don't think I'll survive!!! The mission must be completed!!!"

"Go! Feixue!" Leng Binglan didn't hesitate. They were completely powerless to fight back, and she didn't want to put on a melodramatic show that would end up wiping everyone out here.
