This is not the situation that Leng Binglan or Leng Yihan wanted to see. As long as the mission can be completed, Leng Yihan's death is acceptable, since it's just a game... and thankfully it's just a game.

"Woo woo woo woo—" The ghost slowly approached Leng Yihan, its body swaying. Its feet were very sharp. Leng Yihan had to be extremely careful now, as the bloodstains on its body, the claws on its hands, and its feet could all be used as weapons by the ghost.

Although Leng Yihan didn't care, she believed that only by staying alive could she do more things, and her thought was to escape without burdening her teammates.

"Waaaaah!!!" The ghost's voice was very agitated. It raised its hand and reached out to grab Leng Yihan, but its movements were indeed much slower during the day.

"Ha!" Leng Yihan rolled away to dodge the attack, but the spatial constraints at this moment were extremely deadly, and she could easily be forced into a corner and killed.

"Waaaah~" The ghost was very dissatisfied, dissatisfied that Leng Yihan had dodged its attack. It immediately raised its hand again and slashed at Leng Yihan.

"Fuck you!" Leng Yihan was trapped in a near-dead corner, with the bed on one side and the wall on the right and behind her. It had only just begun.

Ignoring the danger, Leng Yihan quickly rolled over to try and dodge, but even the slowest ghost couldn't be as slow as a snail.

"Ugh!!!" Leng Yihan's back was scratched by the ghost's three fingers—index, middle, and ring fingers—leaving three bloody marks. The pain was immense. After rolling over the bed, Leng Yihan fell directly to the ground. As a result, the wounds were aggravated during the fall, and the pain completely overwhelmed Leng Yihan's nerves, making her unable to react at all. Or rather, the only reaction she could make was to change from lying down to kneeling.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..." Upon seeing the blood, the ghost became much more excited and slowly approached Leng Yihan, but did not make a move.

"You're human!!!" Leng Yihan shouted loudly. The ghost paused, and although its expression was unreadable, it seemed to show a hint of doubt before continuing to walk towards Leng Yihan.

"Damn it!" Leng Yihan struggled to her feet. The ghost had no intention of continuing to attack. It could tell that Leng Yihan was at her last gasp. Rather than killing her directly, it preferred to watch this human's useless struggle.

"Damn it!!!" Leng Yihan suddenly reached into her pocket and rushed towards the ghost with a speed that didn't seem like she was injured at all. Before the ghost could react and make a move, Leng Yihan had already placed her hand on the ghost's body.

"Woo—" The ghost's movements and sounds stopped at the same time. Its claws stopped not far behind Leng Yihan's head. Leng Yihan's legs went weak and she knelt down.

The wound on her back hadn't healed, and blood was still flowing. Moreover, Leng Yihan's last desperate struggle had made the wound even more severe.

Leng Yihan lowered his hand from the ghost's body, where a note he had just found was stuck—"You are human." This note had temporarily saved his life.

"..." The head in the ghost's abdomen stared resentfully at Leng Yihan, who was standing close by. Leng Yihan slowly crawled backward, her consciousness becoming blurred due to excessive blood loss.

"Damn it... it would be ridiculous if I bled to death..." Leng Yihan slowly crawled out of the room, closing the door behind him. He had to get back quickly...

Hurry...go back...

Leng Yihan's legs, which had just managed to stand up, gave way and she collapsed again.

This time, he fell directly to the ground, his consciousness blurred and on the verge of dissipating.

"Heh... I should have known... I wouldn't have called... Binglan... and left..."

Leng Yihan's last words before falling into a coma.

-

After an unknown amount of time, Leng Yihan opened his eyes and found himself lying in bed, staring at the white ceiling. The newly awakened Leng Yihan began to sort out his thoughts.

I remember... I was badly injured by a ghost... then I used that note to control it and escape from the room... and finally... I finally fainted at the door...

But why... am I... in my room right now...?

Leng Yihan moved slightly, but found that his body was still very heavy, as if he hadn't recovered yet. But that was normal; with so much blood loss, it was quite normal that he hadn't died...

……

My foot! The fact that I survived that situation must be thanks to Yu Miaomiao! And that heavy thing I'm carrying—

Leng Yihan lowered his head, pulled back the blanket with one hand, and Leng Binglan lay on top of him, holding him tightly with both hands, as if afraid that he would leave.

As expected, it was Ice Blue... Were they the ones who saved her in the end...?

Leng Yihan tucked Leng Binglan back into bed. Leng Binglan was actually here! It was obvious she was in the girls' room. How she managed to get into Leng Yihan's bed while Zou Yu was there was a mystery...

……

Wait a minute? Is Zou Yu still here?!

Realizing this, Leng Yihan immediately turned her head to look. Okay, it was Feixue. After turning her head to look at the other side, Leng Yihan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zou Yu lay on her side on the bed, her small mouth slightly open and her eyebrows furrowed, as if she were having a nightmare.

"Why didn't the ghost come..." Leng Yihan turned his head back and stared at the ceiling. After thinking about it for a while but still couldn't figure it out, he simply closed his eyes and went back to sleep. Anyway, although he was feeling much better now, that feeling of weakness was still there...

After closing her eyes, Leng Yihan fell asleep soon after. When she woke up again, it was morning. Leng Binglan woke up and tried to sneak out of bed, which woke Leng Yihan up.

“…Ice Blue.” Leng Yihan.

"Huh?! Brother?!" Leng Binglan suddenly turned around.

“You slept on top of me last night, didn’t you…” Leng Yihan squinted.

"Brother, what are you talking about? I just came to check if you were awake this morning..." Leng Binglan.

“I woke up last night,” said Leng Yihan.

“…I’m sorry!!!” Leng Binglan.

The morning began with this nonsensical conversation between the two, as if this were not a nightmare-level scenario, but just an ordinary daily routine of waking up.

After waking up, Leng Yihan, thinking about leaving today, was still fretting about how to find the ring in a short time...

"Lin Ye, are you alright?" Xu Zhou greeted Leng Yihan as he sat on a stool in the lobby.

"Hmm, it's nothing... Wait, what's with those expressions on your faces?" Leng Yihan noticed that Ruan Qi and Xu Zhou both looked worried.

"We...maybe we still can't leave..." Xu Zhou's face was full of worry.

"The fog outside... still hasn't lifted..."

226 The Girl in the Villa (13)

"The fog outside... still hasn't lifted..." Xu Zhou's expression wasn't good.

"What?" Leng Yihan frowned. Although she was happy, this definitely meant that something was wrong.

The fog hasn't lifted; something must have happened.

After standing in the lobby for a while, Leng Yihan felt a little uneasy. She turned around and wanted to go back to her room via the stairs, but saw the three women rushing downstairs.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the three women's anxious expressions, Leng Yihan quickly asked. Leng Binglan's expression was not good. She turned around and looked at them cautiously, as if she had guessed something. Leng Yihan's expression also turned not good.

"I just saw that ghost... It was at the corner at the end of the corridor. As soon as it saw us come out, it rushed over and almost caught us," Feixue said, still shaken.

When Leng Yihan heard Feixue's words, she looked again and was truly terrified. The ghost was standing at the top of the stairs, and all six of them could see it. It was looking at them with a resentful expression, but it didn't come down.

"Go back." Yu Miaomiao's voice suddenly rang out behind the ghost. Upon hearing this, the ghost trembled, turned around, and left the stairwell. Yu Miaomiao followed him out.

"Everyone, were you scared?" Yu Miaomiao asked the six people with concern.

“I was scared, but if I could leave, I wouldn’t mind being scared. But the fog outside… why hasn’t it cleared up yet?” Leng Yihan stood in front of Yu Miaomiao and questioned her.

"Why bother? I'm your savior. If it weren't for me, you would have died from blood loss by now." Yu Miaomiao remained calm as she saw Leng Yihan approaching.

"I will thank you, but I still hope you can explain it to us." Although Leng Yihan said this, he actually hoped to stay here a little longer. Yu Miaomiao could tell that he was just acting, but she didn't know why Leng Yihan wanted to stay here.

“…I’m not entirely sure about that either, but usually when the fog rolls in, it does clear up by the morning of the day after tomorrow. But I don’t know why it didn’t clear up this time…” Yu Miaomiao said.

"So, may I ask, what did they have in common during these days?" Leng Yihan's words made Yu Miaomiao fall silent instantly.

"Let me guess... are they all dead?" The living room fell silent at these words.

“…That’s right.” Yu Miaomiao gave a sweet smile. “Those people are all dead, that’s why the fog cleared up. You are the first group of people to live this long.”

"..." The living room fell silent once again. The six people looked at Yu Miaomiao nervously, without saying a word.

"I have a question for you. Are you hostile to us?" Leng Yihan said, cautiously taking a step back.

“No, of course, provided you don’t anger me.” Yu Miaomiao smiled gently. “As for what would anger me… test it with your lives.”

"Is this considered a complete breakdown in relations?" Leng Yihan asked.

"What do you think?" Yu Miaomiao.

“I think we… might still have a chance to cooperate.” Leng Yihan.

"Oh? Why do you think that?" Yu Miaomiao.

"Because...you—" Before Leng Yihan could finish speaking, Leng Binglan hurriedly ran over and covered his mouth.

Seeing this, Yu Miaomiao smiled strangely, said nothing, and glanced meaningfully at Leng Binglan, who was covering Leng Yihan's mouth.

"I will still provide you with three meals a day, but how to survive in the meantime... well, that's up to you to do your best." After saying that, Yu Miaomiao turned around and left the living room in an instant, teleporting away.

"...Xia Bing?" Seeing Yu Miaomiao leave, Leng Yihan looked at Leng Binglan in confusion, wondering why Leng Binglan would do such a thing.

"Linye, do you know what stupid thing you almost did?!" Leng Binglan's face was full of anxiety.

“…” Leng Yihan frowned, trying to recall what taboo she had just violated with her words…

“We can’t mention it in front of her again…” Leng Yihan didn’t finish his sentence, but Leng Binglan and Feixue naturally knew what he meant.

“Yes.” Leng Binglan nodded. “Don’t forget what happened to that person.”

Yes... Now her head has been cut off by someone and put on the ghost. If it's Yu Miaomiao... it's not hard to imagine that she has probably discovered the truth about her mother. Besides, Leng Yihan really can't think of any other reason why Yu Miaomiao would show such disgust when facing the ghost.

"Forestry... what should we do next..." Zou Yu said with tears in her eyes. They also knew how terrifying that guy's destructive power was. They had seen Leng Yihan's back injury yesterday clearly. Zou Yu was almost scared to death on the spot.

"...Be careful here. Today, the three of us will continue exploring and try to find a way out as quickly as possible." Leng Yihan was naturally referring to finding the key as quickly as possible.

“Okay.” Leng Binglan nodded. “Let’s go take a look at the main seat.”

"Didn't you go yesterday? While I was unconscious." Hearing Leng Binglan's words, Leng Yihan knew that Leng Binglan hadn't gone to look for the clue from yesterday.

“No… I was busy until night because of you, so I didn’t dare go out and stayed in my room… But I don’t know why the ghost didn’t come…” Leng Binglan said, her expression suddenly changing, “Wait… Lin Ye, how did you escape?!”

"Me? I found a note, and then I stuck that note on the ghost, and it stopped moving..." Leng Yihan said.

"Could it be... that last night was the only night we could move safely?" Leng Binglan swallowed hard. If that were the case... they must have missed a lot...

"It's alright... let's go take a look at the main seat first," Leng Yihan said.

The three NPCs beside them were dumbfounded. The two men's words were beyond their comprehension... no, not yet, they were just so shocked that they couldn't react.

Leng Yihan walked straight to the side of the main seat and looked around. The main seat was indeed very large. If it were before, Leng Yihan might not have thought much of it, but after knowing that there was a cellar under the main seat, such a large space did seem very problematic.

"Everyone come here for a moment, let's move this seat." Leng Yihan tried to move the main seat, but it was very heavy, and he absolutely couldn't move it by himself.

The other five people came over, and the six of them worked together to finally move the main seat aside. Sure enough, right under the main seat, there was a door, a floor door.

"...I'll go in alone, don't follow me." Leng Yihan knew immediately that not many people could enter at once just by looking at the entrance.

"Too dangerous! No way!" Leng Binglan immediately retorted.

Leng Yihan didn't reply. Instead, she opened the floor door and looked down into the passageway. Although it was small, it was still bright, but only one person could squeeze in at a time.
