I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

“Amber and I were waiting for you in the room when we heard a crashing sound outside. I went to check out out of curiosity and then I passed out. When I woke up, I was here. There was nothing around me, just pitch black. I was so scared that I couldn’t help but cry, and then I saw you.”

Hongye said, sniffing.

Her words reminded Xia of a similar situation, and Xia couldn't help but glance at Lu Ban and then at Trist.

The situation described by Red Leaf is very similar to Twisted Fate's experience!

"Do you know you weren't even here just now?"

Lu Ban continued to ask questions.

Hongye looked slightly confused, like a cat that had excitedly come to a can only to find it was empty.

Where was we just now?

Hongye looked around in confusion, only then realizing that she was in the storage room below.

"This is an underground storage room; the contents of the safe have disappeared."

Lu Ban said something.

Hearing his words, Hongye wiped away her tears, slowly stood up, checked her surroundings, and looked at Lu Ban.

"Amber is still in the room!"

Hongye suddenly remembered something and said that she wanted to check on her friend's situation.

"Wait a minute, we've already checked, there's no one in the room."

Shea grabbed Hongye, but her hand, upon touching Hongye's body, abruptly withdrew.

"It's so hot, are you sick?"

Xia moved her hand away and placed it on Hongye's forehead.

A wave of intense heat washed over me; it was clearly a high fever.

"I do not know."

Hongye's eyes were somewhat unfocused; she was more worried about the present situation than her physical condition.

"Where's the amber? Did you find it?"

Hongye suddenly asked again, it was unclear whether her high fever was causing her mental state to be abnormal, or if something had happened somewhere that Lu Ban and the others didn't know about, but she had become sensitive and neurotic.

"Not yet, we want to know what happened."

Trist offered a reassuring remark and set down the broken suitcase.

"You said you were in complete darkness just now, so what sounds did you hear, and what did you see?"

Lu Ban asked.

“I don’t know. I only remember you saying you would come back, but you never did. You lied to us.”

Hongye stared at Lu Ban with a rather resentful look.

"Uh, this must be a hallucination."

Lu Ban explained.

He had heard that some girls would dream that their boyfriends had done something wrong, and when they woke up, they would scold them. If the boy denied that it was a dream, she would say that it was because of his behavior during the day that she dreamed about it.

Even if I'm 99% wrong, don't you have 1% of your own fault?

However, given Hongye's current situation, it's hard to say whether she has actually encountered something.

Of course, Lu Ban also suspected that the red leaf was fake, and that it was some monster in disguise.

The question remains: what are these monsters after, disguised as people around Lu Ban?

Twisted Fate doesn't seem to have any intention of harming Lu Ban now, and appears no different from the normal Twisted Fate.

It can't be that [The Dark One] couldn't stand it anymore and decided to play a game with Lu Ban where "everyone in the group is my alt account," right?

Since we can't tell right now, it's fine to just treat her as the real Momiji.

thump—

Just then, a crashing sound came from outside.

The voice sounded familiar, causing Hongye to shudder suddenly, as if a battlefield veteran had triggered PTSD.

Lu Ban clearly recognized that the voice was the same one he had heard at the hotel earlier.

He gave Sia a wink, signaling her to look after Red Leaf, while he and Trist took flashlights and went out of the storage room.

The corridor lights went out at some point, and the entire villa fell into silence, illuminated only by the moonlight from outside the window. It seemed as if monsters lurked in every corner, and danger was hidden beneath every shadow.

Lu Ban turned on his flashlight, illuminating the villa.

He heard the sound coming from the front door, so he climbed the stairs and headed there.

Twisted Fate, standing behind Lu Ban, also carried a flashlight and a baton, keeping a watchful eye on the two behind them.

As Lu Ban approached the door, he heard the sound growing louder and louder.

At the same time, the door trembled continuously, as if something was banging on it violently.

Lu Ban tried to peek outside through the crack in the door, but the door was tightly shut, and he couldn't see outside like in the movies. He could only go to the window.

Outside the window, the streetlights in the parking lot had long been turned off, leaving everything pitch black. The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, plunging the world into silence.

There seemed to be something outside, but Lu Ban couldn't see it clearly. He moved slightly closer to the window, trying to see what it was.

bang——

The next moment, a head slammed into the window glass, with only a thin layer of glass separating it from Lu Ban's face.

Inside the holes on its head, countless tentacles with eyeballs at the ends were desperately clinging to the glass, trying to squeeze through the cracks. Their wriggling motion, combined with the way these monsters moved, made them look like disgusting giant worms.

The dark clouds then drifted away, and the moonlight once again illuminated the earth.

Lu Ban saw that the entire parking lot, the streetlights, the cars, and the road were densely packed with those white monsters.

There were at least a thousand of these monsters, and they were surging toward the villa. The crashing sound was from the monsters ramming the door, trying to get into the villa.

bang bang bang-

The glass rattled, and the monsters quickly shook the window, as if they were about to break through and take over the place.

Chapter 931 You're that light?

Lu Ban and Trist exchanged a glance. With such a large number of monsters, even if they still had guns, they wouldn't be able to deal with them, let alone now.

bang bang bang --

The monsters were tearing at the window, leaving marks on it with their fine teeth, trying to bite through the wood. Their sharp teeth scraped against the glass, making a series of piercing sounds, like fingernails scratching a blackboard.

Drizzt moved a flowerpot from the side to block the doorway. He knew very well that with so many monsters, it was only a matter of time before they broke through the door and got in.

Is there any way to get to the underground parking lot?

Lu Ban asked.

Where is this underground parking lot?

Trist rolled his eyes at Lu Ban, thought for a moment, and quickly made a decision.

"Let's go to the second floor first. After these monsters come in, we can jump out of the window, then go directly to the car and find a boat at the dock."

"Let's call Hongye and the others over first."

Lu Ban wasn't sure if the plan was really feasible. In those few glances, he saw an overwhelming number of monsters. Who knew if there would still be many left outside after he went down from the second floor?

But the most important thing now is to get everyone together; if they are scattered, things could easily go wrong.

He hurried back to the underground storage room and soon saw Xi Ya and Hong Ye waiting at the door.

"Those monsters are attacking the gate, let's go to the second floor."

Lu Ban said simply.

"monster?"

Hongye seemed confused, but Xiya had no questions and simply pulled the burning-hot Hongye towards the second floor.

As they passed through the hallway, Sia and Momiji saw the white monsters clinging to the windows. Both girls were somewhat taken aback. Sia was surprised by the sheer number of these monsters, while Momiji was stunned, having never seen such ugly, bizarre, and ferocious creatures before.

bang bang bang-

The shaking of the door was already visible to the naked eye. The two doors, which were originally without gaps, gradually began to show gaps. The sound of the door being slammed was heart-stopping, each slamming into everyone's heart.

Drizzt moved another chair to block the doorway before hurriedly climbing up to the second floor.

On the second floor, Lu Ban observed the distribution of these monsters. Most of them were gathered at the entrance, with fewer at the back door and some in the parking lot, but they were scattered. Twisted Fate's plan was indeed theoretically feasible.

bang——

Just then, a loud crash came from downstairs.

It was obvious that the gate had been smashed down by the monsters, and now one could imagine that those monsters were pouring into the villa like a flood breaking through a dam, destroying everything in their path.

Drizzt opened the window facing the back door.

Jumping directly from that height would be strenuous for an adult, so he planned to have Lu Ban jump down first, and then catch the people behind him.

Trist barricaded the door to the room with a chair and saw that Lu Ban had already climbed onto the window.

Lu Ban leaped into the air, landing with his body curled up. He squatted there for a moment before finally standing up.

"I'm fine, you guys come down quickly."

He called out.

There were no monsters at the back door, but the commotion coming from the main hall grew increasingly louder.

Xia let the red leaves climb onto the windowsill first.

The girl in the skirt was a little dizzy. She only adjusted her posture slightly before jumping down.

Lu Ban didn't know how to catch someone else to better mitigate the impact, but the red leaves had already fallen.

Surprisingly, Hongye was very light. Her body was hot but extremely soft, like a big piece of cotton candy, and she fell into Lu Ban's arms.

"Are you that light?"
