After finding out the cause of death of the female receptionist, Li Yang really went back to his room to catch up on some sleep.
When I woke up, it was already midnight.
The house was filled with the familiar darkness, and outside, there was the familiar sound of people jumping from a building.
Li Yang put on his shoes and got out of bed, intending to go out through the door. However, just as he reached the door, a sinister aura suddenly appeared, and a knock on the door suddenly sounded at this moment.
"…"
[Surprised? Unexpected? There's a ghost jumping from the window, and a ghost knocking at the door~]
[Red Hair: You guys are a bunch of weird potions, haha?]
[Oh my god, Du Ruo opened the door just one second later. Wouldn't she have bumped into the knocker?]
That's very romantic.
[You guys still have the energy to joke around? I'm just worried she's still asleep and might think it's a player outside and open the door.]
[Wait, I suddenly understand why she opened the door to the knocker in the last instance. Is it because she was still half asleep and her brain didn't react?]
[beet!]
Knock knock knock——knock knock knock——
The knocking on the door became more and more urgent, accompanied by the occasional loud noise of falling buildings, as if playing a soul-stirring and life-threatening song.
"Hiss..." Li Yang supported his chin with some distress, looking at the window and then at the door.
Are you not letting her go out?
It's just that Li Yang's ideas are different from those of the audience in the live broadcast room.
The latter thought it was a strange targeting, but she felt it was a reminder.
Why is it such a coincidence that the ghost came not earlier or later, but just when she was about to go out?
And if you think about it carefully, if the jumping ghost and the knocking ghost appear at the same time, the probability of the player taking the bait is almost zero.
"You don't let me go out because something happens on the first floor tonight?" Li Yang asked tentatively.
Obviously the ghost knocking outside would not answer her, but just knocked on the door emotionlessly.
The barrage was full of confusion.
What the hell? She means those two monsters knew she was going to run out in the middle of the night and deliberately blocked her way to prevent her from going out?
[I'm overthinking this. Maybe the knocker was just knocking on the doors one floor at a time, and only stayed a little longer when it realized the people inside were awake.]
Although the timing is indeed a bit coincidental, I also think my wife is overthinking it. How could something strange possibly alert humans? If it really did, it must be because something else was happening outside that was more important and they didn't want anyone to disrupt it.
[Is it possible that this is what Du Ruo meant? ]
Just as Li Yang was considering whether to deal with the weird creature outside in front of the live broadcast audience, the knocking on the door stopped abruptly and the weird aura disappeared.
"Leaving now?"
She walked forward and opened the door.
This action scared the audience in the live broadcast room to death.
How dare you open the door like that?!
[That's right, what if it didn't leave, but just paused to lure you in?]
[Oh my god, I don't dare to look anymore. Will a ghost face appear in the next second?!]
In fact, there was nothing outside the door, only a dark and gloomy corridor.
Li Yang walked out slowly. When passing by the housekeeper's room, he leaned close to try to listen to the movement inside, but unfortunately he heard nothing.
[... I'm so scared! I'm really afraid of a close-range kill or something. Who said Red Hair's livestream isn't scary?]
[Ahem, when Weirdness shows up, it's not scary. When Weirdness doesn't show up, Red Hair is the scariest.]
"I told you you're overthinking it. She's a master of mystic arts, so she's bound to know if the strange thing has left, right? Doesn't the book say these masters can sense auras?"
[What you just said was clearly a trick to lure her in... Don't think I can't recognize you just because you're anonymous, Sun Ze.]
When going upstairs, Li Yang deliberately slowed down his pace, for fear of running into players who also wanted to go to the fifth floor in the middle of the night.
But I didn't expect that the players tonight were all so honest, and not a single one came out.
She couldn't help but look puzzled.
It was not until she reached the fifth floor and saw a light on in a middle room that she suddenly remembered: "Ah, the owner of the manor has returned."
There is an NPC on the fifth floor. No, to be more precise, there is a dungeon boss. No wonder other players don't dare to come up in the middle of the night.
[??? Did you just remember this, bro?]
[I thought she came up here because she knew about this.]
[I overestimated her.]
[Fuck, Red Hair, what are you doing?!]
As the barrage of exclamation points flashed across the screen, a wretched figure was seen on the live screen, bending over and squatting at the door of the lighted room with a very stealthy look.
Li Yang put his ear against the door, trying to improve his hearing by opening his eyes wide.
A faint sound of grinding something could be heard from inside, but it was very vague and not the high-frequency sound of sharpening a knife.
Although the live broadcast room has a God's perspective, such tiny sounds cannot be heard, so they can only see Li Yang squatting there for a long time without moving.
[Have you heard any useful news? ]
[Let me listen, I can't hear you! ]
[What a fascinating storyline! Even Redhead was stunned.]
After a while, Li Yang moved.
She stood up with a grimace in her mouth, propping herself up on her legs and limping in an unnatural way.
[...Oh, it turns out my legs are numb.]
It was not until he went downstairs and returned to his room that Li Yang finally remembered that there was such a thing as a live broadcast room.
She raised her hand and smiled at her watch, "I just heard the sound of something grinding."
What are you sharpening? A knife?
"It's not sharpening a knife, I guess it's sharpening nails."
[Go ahead, you're grinding your nails so quietly, can you hear me through a door?]
"I could actually hear it. Maybe he was closer to the door, or maybe I just have extraordinary hearing."
[...???]
[Wait, can she see us talking? ]
[Why do I feel a chill on my back...]
At this moment, Li Yang suddenly laughed: "I can't see it, but who hasn't seen the barrage these days? I can guess what some netizens will say, okay?"
[Enough, please keep your distance from your online friends, okay? This is more terrifying than weird.]
"Actually, I heard a little bit of it, but it's all gone in the Tai Chi Bahuang, so I won't tell you."
[Hey, Red Hair Sister, I think people should keep a little distance between each other. I just like you, not curious about what you heard~]
[Rouse mud upstairs...]
Li Yang said he didn't want to tell, so he didn't tell. He had no intention of continuing to talk about this topic and just shook his head with regret.
"I was planning to check tonight to see where the nail plate was, but I didn't expect there was someone in the house. What a shame."
It would be fine if I didn't mention this, but as soon as I mentioned Li Yang, I suddenly got a little angry.
"The worst part is that this manor owner has a light in his own room, but no light at all in the other rooms! Believe it or not, tomorrow I will rush up like an eagle or a leopard, and pia! pia! pia! on his face with the strength of a bear!"
[...? Why does it feel like this sister's face has suddenly changed?]
[Hey, my friend, you can talk, but your voice is collapsing? My ears are about to resign.]
This manor owner has a light in his own room, but he doesn't provide any lighting in other rooms. Believe it or not, I'm going to rush over and give him a good slap in the face tomorrow.
Thank you, Translator.
