I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

If Amber gets the other card, then he loses.

If Amber gets the Joker, Lu Ban still has a 50% chance of winning.

The moment of decisive battle has arrived.

Lu Ban saw that Amber's hand was on the Joker.

He knew that he couldn't show any reaction at this moment, otherwise he would be seen through.

He remained calm, staring only into Amber's trembling eyes.

Feeling embarrassed by Lu Ban's stare, Amber removed her hand from the card she had just played and pulled away with another one as if trying to escape.

"Uh……"

Lu Ban looked at the Joker card in his hand, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"I won!"

Amber immediately put down the playing cards in her hand and happily hugged Red Leaf beside her.

This kind of game might be too childish for young children, but it's just right for adults.

Xia looked at Lu Ban.

Truth or Dare?

"The Great Adventure".

Lu Ban replied without hesitation.

This left the red leaves and amber standing nearby somewhat disappointed.

"Aren't you afraid I'll make you kiss these two little sisters?"

"I ask with great interest," Xia asked.

"If we really have to do this, then there's nothing we can do about it."

Lu Ban sighed.

This, in turn, made the two girls panic.

"I'm warning you, if you dare do that I'll kill you!"

Hongye spoke to Lu Ban with a seemingly fierce expression, but leaned forward slightly.

Amber didn't speak, but she was still secretly glancing at Lu Ban.

"Tsk tsk, I won't let you be that happy, let me think..."

As Xia was pondering, she suddenly heard a clear impact sound coming from the corridor.

In the relatively quiet night, the impact was quite noticeable, as if something had fallen onto the carpet.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Xia suddenly had an idea.

"Go out and check the situation."

She directed Lu Ban.

"This is the Great Adventure?"

Lu Ban stood up and glanced at the two girls on the bed. The two girls looked at Lu Ban, and it was hard to tell whether they were disappointed or something else.

He opened the door; the hallway lights were still on, but no one was there.

Lu Ban gently closed the door and looked around, searching for the source of the sound.

He went to the bottom of the stairs and looked down. It was empty except for some faint conversations coming from the restaurant, which seemed to be Trist and Zou Changyu chatting.

winter--

Then, the same sound came again.

Lu Ban heard that the voice came from behind.

He turned around, but the corridor was empty.

Lu Ban walked back and through the door of the guest room. He knew very well that the sound came from the end of the corridor.

The shoes made no sound as they stepped on the soft carpet.

Lu Ban took a few steps and had just passed the door of his house when he heard what sounded like light footsteps behind him.

It's as if someone is tiptoeing behind you.

He heard the sound of girls chatting and teasing coming from his room. He couldn't understand what they were saying, but it was probably about relationship topics.

Lu Ban turned around, but the corridor was still empty.

However, the corridor seemed a bit long.

He turned his head and strode to the end of the corridor, where there was only a decorative vase and a tightly closed window.

Lu Ban looked outside, trying to see if the sound was coming from outside.

My gaze shifted from the freshly blooming flowers to the glass.

Lu Ban saw a dark figure staring at him through the window with two dark red eyes.

Chapter 919 Is anyone there?

Upon seeing the other person, Lu Ban felt a sudden chill.

The hairs on his back suddenly stood on end, goosebumps rose, and a strange sense of reality being shattered enveloped him, just like the night, which was icy cold.

The figure was pitch black, as if shrouded in a black mist or wrapped in seaweed. Its eyes were vertical and dark red like blood. Lu Ban could not see its other facial features, only two hands, which were gripping the window. Those hands were not human hands, but more like a collection of tentacles. The writhing tentacles gripped the windowsill and kept writhing, as if they contained the deepest malice in the world.

After a brief moment of eye contact, Lu Ban's body moved naturally. He shouted and pushed open the window.

Peng——

The guy was completely stunned by Lu Ban's actions, and as if he wanted to escape, he fell off the windowsill.

"Someone come here!"

Lu Ban shouted out at this moment. He saw the thing fall from the second floor and land on the ground with a thud, spreading out like a puddle of mud. But under Lu Ban's gaze, the thing quickly gathered together, wriggling like a caterpillar, and escaped into the darkness.

"what happened?"

Xia peeked out and saw Lu Ban open the window and calling out something.

"I saw that, the person in the water."

Lu Ban explained simply that he was trying to pinpoint the direction the other party had gone, but the villa was surrounded by dense forests, making it impossible to see clearly in the moonlight. He could only remember a general location. Looking in that direction, he discovered that it was a residential area at the foot of the mountain, with the port nearby.

"you saw it?"

Xia peered over Lu Ban's shoulder, but could only see the darkness of night.

“He ran into the woods. I’m going to go check on him. He might have wandered into the residential area.”

Lu Ban replied. He turned around and saw Amber and Red Leaf peeking out of his room, wondering what had happened. Red Leaf found it a little funny, thinking that Lu Ban was just a coward and had been frightened.

Dengdengdeng-

A series of footsteps approached, and Xia and Lu Ban saw that it was Trist, followed by Zou Changyu.

"what happens?"

Trist asked somewhat warily.

"The person we were talking about in the water this afternoon, I just saw him appear on the windowsill."

Upon hearing Lu Ban's words, both Trist and Zou Changyu, the owner of the villa, found it hard to believe.

"Is it a thief?"

Zou Changyu immediately took out his phone and started calling the police, while also summoning security guards.

"Search the yard thoroughly, and search the mountain again tomorrow morning."

His expression was somewhat grim; after all, his own child had died at the hands of thieves, and now the possibility of encountering them again filled him with extreme indignation.

“I saw him heading towards the islanders’ town; let’s go check it out.”

Lu Ban said, glancing again at Amber and Red Leaves by the door.

"You two stay here, preferably in one room, and don't move around."

He gave the order.

At this moment, Hongye and Hu Po realized the seriousness of the situation. They nodded and retreated back into the house.

"That's not human."

Lu Ban whispered to Xia and Trist.

“I saw him fall from the second floor and turn into a puddle of mud, but he didn’t die. I looked into his eyes, and he didn’t look human.”

He thought of the mud monsters he often dealt with in foreign lands, but the two were somewhat different. If he had to say, this was more like the most primitive, the most basic kind.

Drizzt's expression was serious. Although he didn't believe in monsters, having witnessed the effects of the jade pendant, he knew very well that the inside story of this case was definitely beyond his imagination.

"Maybe they are people who mutated after being exposed to radiation."

Sia guessed that this was based on what she knew best and could explain what she saw.

"By the way, where's the jade pendant?"

Seeing that Trist wasn't carrying a box either, Lu Ban asked.

"I'll go check it out."

He exchanged a few words with Zou Changyu, then left with a security guard. A while later, Trist went upstairs.

"It's still there."

He placed the jade pendant in a safe in the basement of the villa, along with some antiques that Zou Changyu usually collected. Just now, Trist confirmed that the safe was still there.

“Alright, the three of us will go to town and ask around. Mr. Zou, please strengthen the security around the villa. No boats leave the island at night, so that suspicious person has no way to escape.”

Drizzt spoke to Zou Changyu, and the old man nodded.
