After Ruan Qing and the other two entered the villa, they became vigilant of the surroundings, afraid of any potential danger.

 

It seemed like there was no one in the villa. The group checked the first floor, finding nothing unusual.

 

Ruan Qing carefully surveyed the surroundings; the villa was very clean, indicating regular maintenance. However, there was a lack of personal belongings and signs of recent activity, making it seem less like someone’s residence.

 

On the second floor, all the rooms were closed tightly. Ruan Qing tried the doorknob but couldn’t open it. It wasn’t clear if it was locked from the outside or if there was a lock on the inside. The only way to confirm was with a key.

 

Players had thought about this, but no keys were found inside the villa. So, they still couldn’t confirm if someone was in the rooms.

 

As time passed, the sun gradually set, and the shadows enveloped the Yang family villa. In the fading sunlight, the entire villa seemed to plunge into darkness.

 

Unlike the warm and peaceful daytime atmosphere, the villa now exuded an unsettling and ominous feeling, as if harboring some hidden danger, sending shivers down the spine.

 

It wasn’t just the villa; even the mist outside the walls seemed off, as if it was moving ominously, waiting for something.

 

Although the players had entered the villa, they hadn’t noticed this. Despite not seeing anyone inside, almost all the lights were on, illuminating every corner, dispelling the darkness.

 

The villa was eerily quiet, so silent that only the footsteps of the players and their teammates could be heard. 

 

Shen Baiyue seemed afraid, clutching tightly to Ruan Qing’s clothes, occasionally looking back anxiously, fearing something terrifying might emerge from behind.

 

Ruan Qing, relatively calm, followed behind Feng Ye, carefully observing the surroundings.

 

Suddenly, Ruan Qing, in the dim light, saw something red flashed by the side of his vision.

 

The speed was incredibly fast, as if it floated past.

 

Ruan Qing’s heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively turned his head to look at the side.

 

They were currently in a corridor, and on the side was another corridor leading to a different area.

 

At this moment, the corridor was empty, and the doors to the rooms were all closed.

 

There was nothing there.

 

It seemed like it was just his illusion.

 

Ruan Qing’s long eyelashes trembled slightly. Probably... he must have seen it wrong?

 

Definitely a mistake.

 

Perhaps Shen Baiyue sensed something unusual about the person in front of her. She spoke softly, “Brother Yu Qing, what’s wrong?”

 

Upon hearing Shen Baiyue’s voice, Feng Ye turned around to look at the two.

 

Ruan Qing stiffened, withdrew his gaze, and didn’t look in that direction again. “Nothing.”

 

Shen Baiyue didn’t speak. She hesitated for a moment, let go of the corner of Ruan Qing’s clothes, then carefully reached out and held Ruan Qing’s hand hanging by his side.

 

After holding it, Shen Baiyue felt a bit nervous. She lowered her head, and her hand was just loosely holding his, so loose that Ruan Qing could easily withdraw his hand without exerting any force.

 

Ruan Qing didn’t pull back his hand. Instead, he held it a bit tighter, as if comforting Shen Baiyue.

 

As if he was a bit afraid himself.

 

A few seconds later, a trace of an indescribable light flashed through Ruan Qing’s eyes, almost imperceptible.

 

The average person’s pulse was generally between 60 and 100 beats per minute.

 

However, the pulse of individuals with different constitutions varies. Male and female pulses also differ.

 

Women generally had a slightly weaker constitution, so their average heart rate was faster than that of men.

 

Unless their constitution was exceptionally good, their average heart rate would then be similar to that of men.

 

Ruan Qing glanced down at Shen Baiyue with a faint gaze.

 

Exceptionally good constitution, huh...

 

On the second floor of the villa, besides the locked rooms, there were also many other rooms like study rooms, entertainment rooms for watching movies, and so on.

 

This room didn’t have a lock, and one could enter and leave freely.

 

Ruan Qing entered the study, and Shen Baiyue followed suit.

 

There were numerous books neatly arranged on the shelves in the study, giving off a scholarly and refined atmosphere.

 

It seemed like no one had flipped through them before.

 

Ruan Qing casually picked up a book and perused it; they were mostly academic works, and there were even some novels.

 

Ruan Qing tentatively concluded that someone should be living in this villa.

 

While there was a lack of personal touches, it wasn’t entirely absent.

 

For example, the works on these bookshelves.

 

These works mostly belonged to the horror genre, exhibiting a clear personal preference.

 

If they were randomly placed, it would be unlikely that they would all belong to the same genre.

 

Ruan Qing had seen the Yang family servants tidy the hall, and their actions were very mechanical, with everything placed unusually neatly.

 

Even placing a vase seemed as if a ruler had meticulously measured it before being arranged.

 

However, this villa was different.

 

Many things were not neatly arranged, as if someone had used them.

 

It was as if they had been returned to their original positions after use.

 

However, the restoration was not as professional as the servants, and it wasn’t entirely back to its original state.

 

As long as you carefully observed how the Yang family servants arranged things, you could generally notice this.

 

The villa seemed occupied, yet there was no sign of anyone, creating an illusion of an uninhabited place.

 

It was a bit strange.

 

Feng Ye was originally searching for clues in the study, but his gaze inadvertently swept over the young man leaning against the table, holding a book and reading. He was instantly stunned.

 

The young man was dressed in a white shirt, slightly lowering his head, earnestly reading the book in his hands. His features were picturesque, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly with each blink.

 

His quiet appearance was like a figure stepping out of a painting, extraordinarily beautiful and delicate.

 

Giving off the impression of an ethereal beauty, a peerless young master.

 

The study was probably designed for the convenience of the owner to read. With a soft light casting a glow on the young man, it seemed as if the whole person was emitting light.

 

Extremely beautiful.

 

Feng Ye’s Tarot card could only be used to calculate once in an instance, and that one time was wasted by Shen Baiyue.

 

Although unable to calculate again, Feng Ye was very certain that this person was the one he was looking for.

 

Even if not, he could make him become the one.

 

Feng Ye lowered his gaze, his expression determined, and he walked out of the study.

 

Ruan Qing, hearing Feng Ye’s footsteps, stopped thinking and immediately followed along with Shen Baiyue.

 

He was a person with zero combat power; being alone was definitely not a wise move.

 

As for Shen Baiyue, Ruan Qing had never considered trusting her.

 

Unknown identity, unclear motives. If any danger arose, she might not necessarily help him.

 

At least Feng Ye once went into the fog to save him, which was more reliable than Shen Baiyue.

 

Ruan Qing had always maintained a safe distance from Feng Ye, following him not too close nor too far.

 

Ruan Qing watched as Feng Ye slightly furrowed his brows, seeming to have noticed something. 

 

Had he found something?
