He quickly led Shen Baiyue towards the stairs that led to the first floor, attempting to run down from the staircase.
However, just as Ruan Qing ran towards the stairs from the corridor, his peripheral vision once again caught a glimpse of a red figure.
This time, it was even clearer than before.
The figure, dressed in all red, stood at the staircase at the end of the corridor they were heading towards, staring directly in their direction.
It seemed as if that presence targeted them.
Ruan Qing’s body instantly stiffened. His steps came to a halt, and the fear and dread that he had just managed to suppress reappeared in his beautiful eyes.
His body couldn’t stop trembling.
Ruan Qing even subconsciously took a few steps back.
This time, Shen Baiyue also saw the red figure, and it was hard for her not to believe it.
There really was such a presence in this villa.
Shen Baiyue’s reaction was much quicker than Ruan Qing’s. She grabbed Ruan Qing and turned to run down the corridor behind them.
Ruan Qing also snapped out of it, looking panic stricken, and ran alongside Shen Baiyue.
It seemed like a complete picture of panic and desperation.
Clearly, they were extremely frightened.
The man projecting the image at the corner of the corridor with a projector, watching the panicking youngsters fleeing, froze.
Yang Wu, looking at Yang Hao on the opposite side of the corridor, spoke softly with a hint of uncertainty, “...Did we scare them too much?”
Yang Hao, standing on the other side, looked conflicted. He scratched his head and replied in a low voice, “Could it be? Are there really people who are afraid of ghosts in this day and age? What era is this?”
“Yeah, even someone with a middle school education shouldn’t be like this.” Yang Wu, holding the projector, was also puzzled.
He pressed the projector again.
The red shadow was cast on the wall, and no matter how you looked at it, it seemed fake.
Especially in the bright lights.
The figure was transparent, and upon closer inspection, it was evident that it was a projection.
After all, he had just randomly taken a screenshot of a ghost from a horror movie.
Yang Wu looked at the ghostly figure on the wall, utterly perplexed.
Was this supposed to be scary?
None of them were as frightening as half of what they encountered.
In reality, the ghost on the wall was extremely terrifying. The ghost, clad in blood-drenched red clothes, with vacant eyes as if gouged out, tears of blood streaming down her face, seemed ready to claim a life in the next moment.
When the image was projected onto the wall, the transparent figure became even more eerily frightening.
Even if they knew it was fake, it would probably startle a normal person.
However, Yang Wu hadn’t interacted with ordinary people for a long time and didn’t consider the average person’s tolerance.
Yang Hao, on the opposite side, didn’t think about it either. He rolled his eyes and said, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and find the person back. If something happens to him due to fright, it will be over.”
Yang Hao then glanced at his phone. “And it’s almost 9:30 now. We need to get people back before 10.”
Only then did Yang Wu react, immediately silently pursuing the direction the girl and the young man had escaped to.
However, the figure of the two had already disappeared from the corridor.
Both Yang Wu and Yang Hao felt a chill, immediately searching the villa for the missing people.
But no matter how hard they looked, they couldn’t find anyone.
Both of them were getting anxious.
It was already 9:30, and there was only half an hour left until 10.
At this time, the doors between the villas had opened, and the entire Yang family villa connected instantly, forming a unified structure.
It was like a massive maze.
Even for the Yang family members, it was impossible to navigate through the villa.
Once it struck 10 at night, all exits of the villa would be closed, and they would only open again at 5 in the morning.
The fragile Mr. Yu Qing, without anyone to protect him, definitely wouldn’t survive until 5 in the morning.
Both of them remembered the girl by Mr. Yu’s side, another vulnerable person.
If they couldn’t find the person soon, it would be over.
While searching, Yang Wu took out his phone and called the steward, his voice trembling slightly. “Steward, Mr. Yu Qing is missing.”
“What did you say!?” The steward’s voice became sharp.
Trembling, Yang Wu whispered, “Steward, what should we do now? It’s almost 10.”
“Didn’t I tell you to be careful!?”
The steward’s voice on the phone was filled with uncontrollable anger. “Are you all so damn impatient, in a rush to reincarnate!?”
Yang Wu’s hands began to tremble. He hadn’t expected Mr. Yu Qing to be so afraid of ghosts.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have pretended to be a ghost to scare him.
The steward took a deep breath. “Search! Find him for me!!!”
“If you don’t have him back by ten o’clock, then wait for the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master to personally come and talk to you!”
And those who were personally talked to by the Second and Third Young Masters had yet to see the sun the next day.
After the collaterals of the Yang family found out about Yang Wu and Yang Hao losing the person, they all wished they could beat the two up.
But now was not the time to discuss that.
In the few hours just now, it was enough for them to find out who Mr. Yu Qing really was.
The attitude of the two young masters towards Mr. Yu Qing was somewhat special.
Even if it wasn’t love, it was definitely some form of concern.
And if by ten o’clock they couldn’t get him back, Mr. Yu Qing would definitely die in the villa.
By then, everyone in the collateral line of the Yang family would be finished.
No one could withstand the anger of either of the young masters.
Not to mention offending both of them at the same time.
Now, there was less than half an hour until ten o’clock, and everyone in the collateral line of the Yang family was frantically searching for the figure of the young man.
But no matter what they did, they couldn’t find him.
As if the young man had vanished into thin air from the villa.
The hearts of the collaterals of the Yang family sank to the bottom.
Now, it was almost ten o’clock in the evening...
Even with the numerous people in the Yang family and the servants, they couldn’t locate the young man.
“Bang!!!”
“Bang!!!”
“Bang!!!”
A series of sounds of doors being closed echoed, sealing off all exits of the Yang family villa.
Even the windows were no exception.
Outside the villa, the moment the door closed, a mist that had been blocked outside the wall instantly invaded the Yang family villa.
It swallowed the entire villa directly.
In the mist, there were faint rustling sounds, as if something were crawling rapidly.
The sound gave rise to an eerie and bone-chilling feeling from the depths of one’s soul.
Yet, inside the villa, everything remained brightly lit.
However, the light couldn’t penetrate the glass windows at all because they were completely blocked by something red outside.
The blood-red color contrasted with an unknown red hue inside the villa.
At this moment, whether it was outside or inside the villa, the entire Yang family estate looked extremely dangerous.
It seemed like a hell on earth.
T/N: Yang Hao and Yang Wu here are the ones in the group chat from before.
He quickly led Shen Baiyue towards the stairs that led to the first floor, attempting to run down from the staircase.
