Huai Yi immediately understood, revealing a lewd smile like a seasoned veteran, while Fatty, the moment Jiang Cheng mentioned being an actor in Jiang City, guessed what mischief he was up to.

"You're playing me!" Mu Wanming said angrily.

Before Jiang Cheng could continue, Jiang Zhao still wore that amiable smile, his smiling face seemingly frozen in place, like wearing a mask, his eyes looking at Jiang Cheng, "Wanming, Mr. Jiang is just making a joke, don't mind it."

Mu Wanming didn't dare to argue with Jiang Zhao, so she mouthed to Jiang Cheng, word by word: "Don't rush, see how I deal with you."

"Deal with you in the movie?" Huai Yi interjected, asking with a grin.

Mu Wanming's eyes widened, and just as she was about to teach him a lesson, a scream was heard. Bai Xiaojie dropped the fork in her hand, the entire person falling backward to the ground along with the chair, looking disheveled.

"What's wrong?" Miao Qing went up to check on Bai Xiaojie's condition.

"There's something in the food, something in the food!" Bai Xiaojie screamed.

Hearing this, everyone's face changed. Apart from Liu Hui, everyone else had eaten the food. If there really was poison in the food, this mission would be a total wipeout.

Jiang Cheng immediately went to Bai Xiaojie's plate, slowly using the fork to push the food aside. The next scene made everyone's back cold.

At the very bottom of the food, a bone appeared.

It was half of a human mandible, with a few uneven teeth still attached.

Seeing this scene, Mu Wanming's stomach churned, almost making her vomit. There were actually human bones hidden in the food, which indeed exceeded everyone's expectations.

Everyone quickly checked their own portions of food, pushing the food aside, and at the bottom, they all found strange things. Some found a few finger bones, some found a small section of a pointed horn from an unknown animal, and others found bird bones and some black feathers…

With all sorts of strange things placed before them, Fatty barely managed to suppress the churning in his stomach, refraining from vomiting. Jiang Cheng used a fork to hook up the mandible, examining it back and forth.

"It's not from a recent death, it's been a while." Jiang Zhao said after seeing it. He was holding a small section of a finger bone in his hand. "The bones have already turned yellow. These things were placed in the plate first, and then the food was poured on top little by little."

"What's the point of all this?" Ouyang Huanbin regretted eating so heartily just now, his intestines turning green.

"It's like some kind of curse." Liu Hui said with a frown.

"If you know something, hurry up and say it!" Mu Wanming urged, as the fact that only Liu Hui hadn't eaten anything made her uneasy.

"I just have a feeling." Liu Hui used a dinner knife to poke at the bird's bones in the plate. "Judging from the bones and feathers, what kind of bird do you think this is?" She looked up and asked.

"A crow." Jiang Cheng replied.

"Yes, I also feel like it's a crow, but I'm not sure." Liu Hui's voice was very soft, but it gave people a sense of stability. She adjusted her glasses and continued, "In Western culture, crows represent misfortune and are messengers of bad news. I read a book that said crows are representative symbols of the occult. Some believers believe that crows can not only smell the scent of decay after death, but can even give omens before a person dies."

"So…we've been cursed." Mu Wanming's face changed slightly.

"It's not necessarily by a person." Huai Yi interjected.

Hearing this, Mu Wanming's face worsened, her mouth opened, but no sound came out.

Among all the bones, the mandible was the largest, so it was the first to be discovered. Of course, Bai Xiaojie was also extremely frightened by this. Jiang Cheng was sure that even if Bai Xiaojie managed to get out alive this time, she would probably be traumatized for life.

After discovering such things, everyone's meal was declared over. The food was left on the table, and no one touched it again. Everyone left, and unknowingly, it was getting dark outside.

The group didn't dare to separate, and with the last bit of time, they walked around the building, gaining a basic understanding of its layout. The first floor had a reception room, a dining room, storage rooms, and the like, while the bedrooms were all on the second and third floors.

Standing on the second-floor corridor and looking inside, there were rows of black wooden doors on both sides, about a dozen rooms. Just as the butler had said, there were enough rooms for everyone, absolutely plenty.

"We checked earlier, there are more rooms upstairs, but I suggest we all stay on the 2nd floor tonight." Miao Qing suggested, "That way, even if something happens, we can all look out for each other."

It was a very pertinent suggestion, and everyone agreed. It was human nature to huddle together for warmth. As for whether anyone would come to save them if something really happened, that was another story.

"We checked this afternoon, and these room doors are all closed, and can't be opened." Fatty introduced to Jiang Cheng.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng said, "This should be some kind of rule within the mission, not allowing us to enter the bedrooms in advance."

"Do you remember, the butler who brought us here also said that we should be careful in choosing our rooms." Bai Xiaojie finally calmed down at this moment. "Could it be that some terrible things have happened in these rooms?"

No one spoke, as what Bai Xiaojie said was very likely.

Jiang Cheng walked forward, gently stroking the edge of the nearest door, as if he had discovered something.

"Jiang-ge?" Huai Yi asked softly.

Jiang Cheng withdrew his hand, not explaining to him, and grabbed Huai Yi's hand, placing it where he had just touched.

After a moment, Huai Yi's expression changed. He felt several deep indentations, as if they had been cut with a knife. But the strange thing was, you could feel them by touching, but when you looked with your eyes, you needed to look very carefully to see even a little bit. The entire door and door frame were a dark color, as if they had merged into one.

"There's also a problem with this door." Miao Qing's voice came. "There are bullet holes on the door."

"This door… this door also has a problem." Ouyang Huanbin stood up, pointing to the ground in front of the door in front of him, and said nervously, "Something is solidified under the crack of the door. I scraped a little out, and it seems to be blood. This floor has been soaked in blood."

"This door too!"

…

Before long, everyone found 4 doors with very obvious problems, and 2 doors that were suspected to have problems, but couldn't be confirmed.

"Holy crap…" Huai Yi took a deep breath, his eyes looking at the doors deep in the corridor. In his opinion, each of these closed doors hid an unknown, terrifying story. "What exactly happened here, a massacre?"

Now, a very real problem was placed before everyone. There were only 13 rooms on the 2nd floor, and there were 9 of them. That meant that, excluding the 4 doors with obvious problems and the 2 doors suspected to have problems, someone had to live in them.

No one would ask such a stupid question as whether anyone volunteered, "Each group sends one person, we'll draw lots. The group that draws the lot gets to choose first, and the remaining two groups each get one door. As for who actually goes in, each group decides for themselves." Miao Qing said quickly.
