Chapter 70 Things Seem to Be Going Wrong

"Huh? Someone died next door too?" Zhen Hu noted.

"Yeah, I heard quite a few people have died in this building. As neighbors of that couple, it’s not surprising we’re suffering too," Wang Wenfei said without much reaction.

After Wang Wenfei spoke, Zhen Po nodded and said, "After the couple died, the uncle next door died. Later, the aunt moved out, but she missed her husband so much that she still risked coming back to visit."

"It seems their relationship was really good."

"Yes, it was that aunt who suggested inviting you. She said that one day at noon she fell asleep and dreamed of her deceased husband, who cried and asked her to find someone to save everyone."

"A dream? Save everyone?"

What did "save everyone" mean?

Just as everyone was pondering this, a crash came from next door. The sound of things being smashed made everyone’s already fragile nerves tighten again!

"What's going on next door?!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, rooted to the spot, their eyes glued to the wall by the dining room, as if staring long enough would allow them to see what was happening next door!

"I-I don't know…" Instinctively, everyone held their breath until the smashing and crashing stopped after about ten minutes. Then, like penguins huddling together after weathering a blizzard, the group cautiously peeked around.

Mingmei: …

She suddenly thought of another image—acting like sneaky dogs.

"Do you want to go check next door?"

It wasn't that Mingmei wanted to cue the procedure, it was just that these few were so timid. Mingmei even suspected that these were really military academy students?

Are you always like this?

If they heard Mingmei's question, they would definitely shake their heads and vehemently deny it!

Are you kidding?

This game is just too weird!

"Let's go." Yuan Fang and Zhen Po spoke first. After all, the boss was standing behind them, pointing in that direction, so how could they refuse?

"Let's go together." Wang Wenfei saw that two people had already spoken up. Could they really let just those two go?

They really couldn't afford to lose any more people.

"Yeah, let's go together." The remaining two agreed as well. The group walked back one after another, with "Lu Xiaoyao" walking last, shoulder to shoulder with Mingmei.

"Here." Mingmei saw "Lu Xiaoyao" handing her a talisman.

"You suspect me?"

"No, this can be used to attack. If you're afraid of being possessed, then there's also…" Then, the other person gave Mingmei another talisman. Although Mingmei didn't quite understand the patterns on it, she remembered that Lu Xiaoyao had wanted to use this talisman on her when she first arrived.

"Thank you." Mingmei accepted the talisman, and then, as if thinking of something, tilted her head and whispered in her ear, "By the way… what's your name?"

She couldn't just keep calling her Lu Xiaoyao, right?

Mingmei felt that she was different from Lu Xiaoyao, and it wasn't good to call them by the same name.

"You… just call me 'Da Yao'." The name Da Yao seemed to be just a slight variation of Lu Xiaoyao’s name, and it wasn't very pleasant to hear, but the other party didn't seem to mind at all. Instead, she smiled even more sincerely, "Thank you for taking care of her every game."

"You… remember me?" Mingmei was slightly surprised, and then remembered the game's memory suppression, but Da Yao didn't seem to be affected at all.

"Yes, it's her memory that's suppressed, what does it have to do with me?" Da Yao whispered, then smiled very slyly. Then, she glanced at Wang Wenfei's back in front of her and muttered, "This kind of thing isn't particularly difficult…"

As they spoke, they arrived at the next door again, but obviously, compared to when they first arrived, the house was now a complete mess.

"What kind of grudge is this! Look at the sofa, and the floor, and the kitchen…"

Zhen Po pointed to the sofa in the living room. At this time, the sofa's surface was torn as if by the claws of some wild beast, with springs, sponge, and velvet springing out.

Then, everyone followed his finger to the floor, which was also a mixture of water stains, oil stains, and broken glass and porcelain. Soon, everyone's eyes fell on the dining room, which could only be described as a complete disaster.

Not only was everything broken and tattered, but pizza had also been thrown on the ground. Although it wasn't a boxed lunch, it was still food, and they had originally planned to save it for later to replenish their strength. Now, it had all been smashed?

For a moment, it was difficult for them to even find a place to put their feet.

"Actually… I've heard a theory." When everyone was silent, Da Yao suddenly closed the door behind her. The sound of the lock reminded everyone of bad things again.

"Evil spirits have their own territory, and you need permission to enter someone else's territory." Da Yao brought up the fact that Lou Jia had locked the door when they went over before and had said the same thing, "But in the end, when Miss Wang channeled, so many spirits suddenly poured in, who do you think allowed that?"

"Anyway, it wouldn't be the one possessing Lou Jia." Yuan Fang felt cold sweat just thinking about Lou Jia's behavior at the time. Didn't that guy originally plan to trap them next door and kill them all?

"Miss Wang summoned Nal, and then there was a series of spirits, and when we just came out, the door didn't seem to be locked, right?" Zhen Po, who had opened the door first, noticed the detail on the door just now. "Who opened this lock?"

"Are you trying to say that maybe Nal let all those spirits in just now?" Da Yao glanced at Zhen Po.

"What else could it be?" But after saying that, Zhen Po realized that the logic seemed to be wrong. "Then wouldn't that mean—Martha is actually the main culprit?"

As soon as Zhen Po finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

They really couldn't say what kind of attribute Nal was, but if the one possessing Lou Jia was Martha, and based on his subsequent actions, at least Martha really wanted to kill them all!

"Then, then what about Nal? What was he trying to do?"

"Maybe… he made such a big commotion to get Miss Wang to say some truths? Some truths we don't know." After Da Yao finished speaking, everyone remembered the words that Wang Wenfei wrote during the channeling—

[Sorry, save me], [I am innocent.]

At this time, everyone seemed to realize a problem—it seemed that from the beginning, they had been led astray by someone.

So, Zhen Po was also embarrassed now.

He had never thought that the information he got at the beginning might be fake.

Zhen Po looked at the suspicious gazes of everyone and couldn't help but wonder what kind of role he had gotten.

A fool who spread false information and killed his teammates?
