"Brother, how did you recognize that guy was a fake of mine..." Leng Binglan asked in confusion. She had no reaction at all when she was grabbed. She was suddenly grabbed, tied up, and thrown into the room in an instant.

“Do you know what that guy looks like in my eyes?” Leng Yihan said, “A blonde little girl calling me brother? I have to say, it’s pretty blissful—if it weren’t for this nightmare instance.”

Leng Yihan was also relieved that the NPC seemed to be seeing the character Leng Binglan was playing. Otherwise, if she had really dressed up as Leng Binglan, Leng Yihan might not have been able to tell the difference for a while.

"Hmph... That's good. But even if someone looks just like me in the future, you must recognize me, okay?"

"Well, definitely."

-

"You...you get out of my way...let me in..." Yu Sanshui gasped for breath, looking at the old woman in front of her who hadn't fought back and had just let her hit her.

"What? You still won't give up?" the old woman said without changing her expression.

"Fine, I give up! I'm willing to go out and see the world, but there's not just one ghost inside, there's a second one! That's a clone created by the ring! If we go in any later, they'll all die inside!" Yu Sanshui roared.

"Do you really want to help them?" The old woman narrowed her eyes and sized up Yu Sanshui.

"Isn't it enough that I think so?! Besides... besides, I'm willing to respect my sister's wishes. Since she wants to go out into the world, then I'll stay with her! I'll never leave her!" After Yu Sanshui finished speaking, a tear fell to the ground.

"...What's going on? You really want to go too, but you really do like your sister..." The old lady shook her head when she saw Yu Sanshui's expression, and turned to walk towards the villa's entrance.

What... happened to me...?

Yu Sanshui felt the wetness on her face and subconsciously wiped it with her hand; it was water.

Tears? Tears... I cried?

"Thank you, Sanshui." Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Sanshui looked up. The villa door had already been opened, and Yu Miaomiao stood behind it, speaking gently to her.

"sister……"

"Well... don't cry. Don't be afraid when you go out in the future. I'll protect you..." Yu Miaomiao stepped forward and gently hugged Yu Sanshui, who was rushing towards her.

“Sister…Sister…” Yu Sanshui sobbed.

"What the heck... I don't understand what makes a little girl cry. Why did she suddenly start crying?" The old lady shook her head.

"Well... this is our little secret, you didn't know either, did you?" Yu Miaomiao turned around and smiled. "It's a little secret between us~"

"Sigh... Fine then, your secret is your secret..." the old woman sighed. "You guys turn on me so quickly. Keep being sentimental, all I know is that if we don't go in soon, they'll all be dead..."

232 The Girl in the Villa (The End)

"Sanshui...I want to go out and see the world..."

"No, sister, you're not mature enough yet, you can't go out!"

"Three Waters"

"You can't whine or act cute! Absolutely not!"

"So... once it's ripe, you can take me out to play, right?"

"Hmm... if that day really comes... it's not impossible, is it?"

"Then it's decided. If one day you cry, Sanshui, but I don't, that means I've matured!"

"Sigh... if that's the case, then sister, we'll just have to stay here forever."

"Hmph, I don't believe Sanshui will ever stop crying—"

-

So dark...so gloomy...

"Sanshui, don't be afraid... your sister is here."

……

"Sister...I dreamt...we...went to the outside world..."

"Hmm? So Sanshui really wants to go too."

"No... I dreamt that our identities were discovered... Sister, you were scorned by everyone... and I was taken away... and my existence was erased..."

"..."

"elder sister……"

"Sanshui, are you crying?"

"Huh? Wh-what? No, I'm not! I'm just... I'm just scared..."

"Hmph, don't be afraid. No matter what, I will never abandon you. If anyone wants to take you away, they'll have to step over my dead body first. Otherwise, no one can separate us..."

"...Sister, you've grown up..."

"Huh?! Do you think I'm all grown up now?! Can you take me out to play now?! Don't be scared! I'll protect you for life!"

"No !!!!"

-

"Sister..." Yu Sanshui seemed to really not care about the lives of everyone in the room, completely abandoning her original aloofness, and really acted like a little sister.

“…Hmm, what’s wrong?” Yu Miaomiao finally acted like an older sister, patting Yu Sanshui’s head.

"Do we... really have to go out..." Yu Sanshui's voice was very soft.

“…If Sanshui doesn’t want to, I won’t force you. We can live in the deep mountains and forests.” Yu Miaomiao said with a smile.

"...Let's go, sister, let's go in and help them. Let's...go out!" Yu Sanshui raised her head and wiped away the tears on her face.

-

"How long until they come back..." The scene was at a standstill. Xu Zhou held the oil lamp in his left hand and the note in his right. The four of them confronted the ghost.

"Tap tap tap tap tap..." The sound of quick running footsteps rang out, and Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan appeared in the four people's field of vision.

"Quick! Stick the note on the ghost!" Leng Yihan shouted.

"!" Xu Zhou reacted quickly. The ghost's attention had just been drawn by the arrival of Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan. With Xu Zhou's touch, the ghost froze on the spot and began to twitch.

With a loud "ding," the oil lamp lit up, very brightly, and a staircase suddenly appeared in the middle of the hall, leading upwards, with a door at the very top.

It's a very ordinary wooden door.

"Feixue!!! Run up there!!!" Leng Yihan said, throwing the box directly to Feixue. Feixue jumped up and caught it accurately. Xu Zhou also sensibly handed the oil lamp to Feixue, and she immediately rushed up the stairs.

"Xuzhou! Just smash it with a chair!!!" Leng Yihan shouted.

"Brother...this is useless!!!" The two of them were running downstairs, and seeing that there were still one or two meters left, they simply didn't take the stairs and jumped onto the floor of the hall.

The note lost its effect, and the ghost began to twitch again, slowly getting up. Leng Yihan's expression changed, and she rushed forward, picking up a chair and smashing it over the ghost's head.

"Crack!"

The sound of the chair breaking told Leng Yihan that this thing really had no effect on ghosts. She immediately jumped back, but after that jump, she heard a familiar voice coming from upstairs...

"...Run towards the villa entrance!" Leng Yihan said with a stern face. "Quick! Xia Bing, Fei Xue, and I can handle this!" After Leng Yihan finished speaking, she and Leng Binglan started running, and the ghost seemed to have identified Leng Yihan as its target, chasing after him.

Before the three NPCs could react, something jumped down from the sky and quickly chased after Leng Yihan's departing figure.

"This..." The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Oh? Are we late..." Suddenly, a voice rang out behind the three of them. When they turned around, they saw that terrifying face and were too frightened to speak.

"What, what do you mean by this?" The old woman narrowed her eyes. "It seems you're not very welcoming to me?"

"No... Grandma, can you save Lin Ye?! He, he was..." Zou Yu seemed to have grasped some hope after seeing the old lady, and said in a panic.

“Zou Yu, the old lady can barely take care of herself, how could she possibly be saved…” Xu Zhou was about to persuade her when he was slapped in the face.

"Okay, where did they go?" the old lady asked.

“There…” Zou Yu pointed in a direction for her.

"Hmm... okay, wait a minute." The old lady didn't move, but turned to look at the door. A moment later, two figures rushed in—two Yu Miaomiaos, identical in appearance except for their clothes and demeanor...

"They went there." The old lady pointed to the spot Zou Yu had just pointed to.

“Okay.” Yu Sanshui nodded and disappeared from their sight in an instant, while Yu Miaomiao looked at the staircase that suddenly appeared in the center of the hall and stretched upwards, and finally her gaze stopped on the wooden door that had been opened.

"...Finally...can we go out now...?"

-

"This is really not fun at all!!!" Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan had given up on running away and instead activated a super dangerous mode, with an absolutely off-the-charts level of danger, to engage in close combat with the two ghosts.

Relying on their combat experience, the two managed to fight the demons, whose physical abilities were off the charts and whose weapons were incredibly powerful, to a standstill... But they couldn't do anything to them at all. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break through their armor and could only temporarily delay them.

"Damn... am I going to die here...?" Leng Yihan's expression was not good.

"It's alright, the mission should be completed... Don't worry, brother." Leng Binglan said, with a relieved expression.

“That’s true…” Leng Yihan nodded in agreement, but they were still fighting hard, after all, the pain of being injured was something they didn’t want to experience.

"Hey, you two, stop!" Hearing the voice of the newcomer, Leng Yihan couldn't help but laugh.

He knew that this so-called nightmare instance was over.

This is probably still not the most complete nightmare instance, because with the ring's existence, Tianyue estimates that he can exert some influence here through objects from the same world. (Leng Binglan told him this a long time ago.)

Therefore, the difficulty was reduced considerably. After hearing Yu Sanshui's voice, one of the ghosts obediently stopped its actions, while the other wanted to continue attacking Leng Binglan, but it was difficult to move its body, allowing Leng Binglan to easily dodge.

"Your friend should be getting the ring back soon, and then everything will be over," Yu Sanshui said as he appeared beside Leng Yihan.

Upon hearing his words, both ghosts began to tremble, but in different ways. One trembled with excitement at being freed, while the other trembled with fear of disappearing.

"Yes...it's all over." Leng Yihan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

Main quest completed.

[Leave the instance in 180 seconds. A cutscene will play.]

After the warning sound faded, the two ghosts stopped trembling and finally turned into a wisp of dust, disappearing into the void...

"Let's go back." As soon as Yu Sanshui finished speaking, he took the two people's hands, and in an instant, the two appeared in the hall.

"You can still use your abilities?" the old woman asked upon seeing Yu Sanshui suddenly appear.

“Yes, it was just taken away, so it’s normal that they still have abilities.” Yu Sanshui was alright. He put down Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan and looked at the three NPCs who were lying unconscious on the ground.

“This man is dead.” Yu Sanshui pointed at Ruan Qi, speaking to Leng Yihan, “He died on the first night you arrived at the villa, but because of the ring’s special properties, he continued to live. However, now that the ring is sealed, he is dead. From now on, his presence in the outside world will disappear because of the ring, and eventually everyone will forget about him…”
