Ruan Qing didn’t know that there was someone on the sixth floor above him also observing the people in the garden. After failing to discern more information, he gave up.
However, he did notice the players sneakily heading in the direction of the back mountain.
Even the male player he had chosen was among them.
After some contemplation, Ruan Qing decided to enter the body of that player.
Indeed, the players were planning to explore the back mountain.
Servants still guarded the back mountain, and despite the players searching for a long time, they couldn’t find an opportunity to sneak up.
They had to return to the Yang family’s villa, organize the clues they had obtained so far, and discuss the next steps of their plan.
The player with a crew cut frowned. “I observed that the blood shadows last night would suck away the blood after killing someone, as if they were consuming it.”
“And after feeding on the blood, they seemed to become stronger, but oddly, they didn’t appear as aggressive.”
“It’s like they’re in a better mood after being fed.”
The player next to him nodded. “Yes. Blood shadows that haven’t found their targets are indeed more restless than those who have consumed blood.”
“And as time passes, their destructive power seems to increase.”
Other players also noticed this, all wearing serious expressions.
Because with the increasing destructive power over time, it meant that the blood shadows would eventually become strong enough to break down the doors of the rooms in the villa.
The player with a crew cut glanced at the others. “Maybe staying inside our room won’t be safe in a couple of days.”
Ruan Qing also found it highly likely.
Moreover, those blood shadows at night might be related to the Yang family’s collateral relatives.
He wondered what would happen if the Yang family members were killed during the day...
This wasn’t just something Ruan Qing noticed; other players did too.
During the day, the red robot caused quite a commotion, almost mobilizing most of the servants.
The servants’ faces displayed fear and apprehension.
After the appearance of the red robot, some players saw the steward leading the servants in the direction of the villa where the collaterals were staying.
Clearly, the eerie blood shadows were undoubtedly connected to the collateral relatives of the Yang family.
Perhaps the Yang family members were the blood shadows at night.
Now, there were still a few hours until ten o’clock in the evening, and the players had finally decided to give it a try.
If killing people during the day could suppress the blood shadows at night, they would be much safer.
The side villa of the Yang family, from the collateral line, was not guarded by any servants. Even the servants passing by this area would subconsciously avoid it.
So, the players directly reached the side villa of the Yang family without any obstacles.
The doors on the second and third floors of the villa were still locked, and they couldn’t find the keys inside.
But this time, the players didn’t care if violently breaking the door would violate the Yang family’s rules.
As long as no one saw, they wouldn’t consider it a violation.
The players forcefully broke the door, and sure enough, there were people inside.
The players didn’t hesitate and started directly.
But because of the uncertainty, the players dared not kill too many. They stopped after killing only two members from the collateral line of the Yang family.
Ruan Qing took a closer look and noticed that the one who made the move first wasn’t the vice president or the player with the crew cut, but a newcomer.
It seemed that in the minds of these players, killing members from the collateral line of the Yang family might pose some potential danger.
As night fell, their actions didn’t attract the attention of others, and no one even noticed the deaths of these people.
The players quietly returned to their rooms, then locked the doors and windows.
Yang Chenyan and Yang Chenjin in the garden were nowhere to be found. Even the steward and servants were missing.
Ten o’clock in the evening quickly arrived.
The horrifying scene from last night played out again.
When all this happened last night, Ruan Qing and Shen Baiyue were on the basement floor of the villa.
There were no windows on the basement floor.
And when the two came up, there was nothing left outside the villa.
So, Ruan Qing did not see the blood-red vines tightly binding the entire Yang family villa.
But tonight, he witnessed it with his own eyes.
Ruan Qing was originally looking at the corridor through the peephole, but the rustling sound behind him made him turn his head.
The result was seeing the blood-red vines in the mist winding up along the window, tightly entwining the Yang family’s villa.
And as the vines climbed frantically, for some reason, perhaps sensing something, they suddenly stopped.
It continued to surge in front of Ruan Qing’s window, wriggling frantically.
The small window was almost too crowded, still squeezing and jostling.
Ruan Qing, frightened, felt his eyelashes tremble slightly and instinctively stepped back, leaning directly against the door.
Earlier, because of the fog, his vision was partially obscured, making it difficult to see clearly.
But this time, the vines pressed against the glass window, and Ruan Qing could see with unprecedented clarity.
It wasn’t just any blood-red vines; they looked like blood-red tentacles, as if the skin had been peeled off.
Similar to the tentacles from last night, resembling the ones that emerged from the split head of the blood shadow at that time.
However, the blood shadow could barely maintain a human form, but these tentacles seemed unable to.
The tentacles were stained with blood, constantly melting, and then continuously solidifying.
The blood traces that hadn’t solidified flowed down the glass window slowly, creating a terrifying and horrifying sight.
It felt like the scene of a murder, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Because of the glass window, the blood-red tentacles couldn’t come in, just pushing and clamoring against the glass, dancing excitedly.
Occasionally, due to the force of the pushing, they would hit the glass, making quite a loud noise.
Ruan Qing’s heart was completely on edge, fearing that the glass window couldn’t withstand the force of the tentacles and would shatter.
Fortunately, the quality of the glass window seemed to be very good.
Even with the forceful pushing of the tentacles, there was no sign of any looseness or damage to the glass window.
Ruan Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn’t dare to go over and inspect carefully, fearing that the tentacles might suddenly break the glass.
The telescope was on the table next to the bed.
And the bed was more than three meters away from the glass window.
After measuring the distance, Ruan Qing moved slowly and cautiously toward the table.
Finally, he successfully got hold of the telescope.
He aimed it directly at the tentacles outside the window, carefully observing.
These tentacles seemed to be not just any tentacles but something formed by the condensation of blood.
However, the condensation was very solid, making it look like tentacles or vines.
While Ruan Qing was carefully observing, a wailing scream echoed from downstairs.
Judging by the sound, it seemed to be about ten meters to the left below his floor.
That room belonged to the player who killed members of the Yang family’s collateral branch.
As expected, killing members from the collateral line of the Yang family couldn’t suppress the blood shadows. Instead, it seemed to fill their resentment to the maximum, making it unsafe even to stay inside a room.
After the dreadful scream, sounds came from the corridor outside the door.
Ruan Qing cautiously looked through the peephole; several blood shadows appeared on the third-floor corridor, aimlessly walking.
“Bang!!!” A loud noise, especially significant in the quiet night.
And particularly piercing.
It frightened Ruan Qing to the point where he almost dropped his telescope.
Because the sound came from behind him, the noise of the glass window being hit.
He didn’t know when the tendrils outside the window began to stir, rushing to hit the glass window frantically.
Although the glass window remained unscathed, the noise attracted the blood shadows on the corridor.
The door behind Ruan Qing was also instantly hit.
Wide-eyed, Ruan Qing, with a hint of panic, looked at the door behind him.
When a blood shadow struck the door again, Ruan Qing subconsciously stepped back a few steps.
Fortunately, the door was very sturdy, and the blood shadow’s efforts didn’t budge it.
However, the blood shadow did not give up; it seemed even more excited with each collision.
The noise attracted other blood shadows, making the door-banging even louder.
It seemed like the door could break at any moment.
The sound made Ruan Qing’s scalp tingle, and he could only step back repeatedly.
Yet, he dared not retreat too far because the tendrils outside the window were also crazily striking the glass.
Moreover, the tendrils seemed to realize that scattered strikes were useless, starting to merge with other tendrils, becoming incredibly thick.
“Bang!!!”
The impact force of the tendrils instantly increased several times, making the entire glass tremble.
But still, it didn’t shatter.
Yet, the tentacles continued to fuse and grow relentlessly.
Ruan Qing stared at the terrifying tentacles, once again widening his eyes, pupils contracting.
When the tentacles collided with the glass window, he instinctively closed his eyes.
“Bang!!!” This time, not only did the glass window tremble, but even the main villa shook violently from the impact.
The glass window couldn’t hold on any longer, and small cracks began to appear.
Perhaps with another impact, the glass window would shatter.
However, Ruan Qing had nowhere to escape because outside the window were blood-red tentacles, and outside the door, there were numerous blood shadows.
Ruan Qing didn’t know that there was someone on the sixth floor above him also observing the people in the garden. After failing to discern more information, he gave up.
However, he did notice the players sneakily heading in the direction of the back mountain.
Even the male player he had chosen was among them.
