Red Hair cried, “I’m not okay at all. I want to leave this haunted place, wuuuuu!”

She cried and wiped away her tears, not forgetting who saved her in the nick of time. “Bai Lixin, thank you for saving me just now.”

Bai Lixin was shrouded in a strange black fog, but she didn’t care about that now.

That monster was going to kill her, and Bai Lixin saved her.

Even if Bai Lixin was also a monster now, as long as he saved her, he was a good monster.

Bai Lixin pulled tissues from his backpack and handed them to Red Hair. “Hold on a bit longer, I’ll take you out later. Where are Big Zhuang and Mr. Mouse?”

Red Hair thanked him again, took the tissues, wiped away tears, and shook her head, “I don’t know. I don’t want to care about Big Zhuang right now.”

“My mom is right, the brain dies quickly when you fall in love. I shouldn’t have stayed in the Fei family because of Big Zhuang’s sweet words.” She paused, shook her head, and said, “No, I shouldn’t have agreed to play that dare challenge game with Big Zhuang in the first place! I shouldn’t have fallen in love with him!”

Bai Lixin: “…”

‘Uh, your mom is really insightful.’

Red Hair sniffed and stopped her crying. Her eyes were still red, but the panic and fear from facing death earlier were gone.

For some reason, although Bai Lixin didn’t look as strong as Big Zhuang, staying by his side gave Red Hair an inexplicable sense of security.

After hovering on the brink of life and death, Red Hair suddenly felt that the pursuit of love and emotions she once sought seemed unimportant.

She silently followed Bai Lixin, just wanting to quickly leave this haunted place.

Bai Lixin checked the time; it was 1:15 AM.

Fei Yino said that the black and white scarecrows would leave at 4 AM.

Although, the white scarecrow wouldn’t harm them for now because of Black Fog Dijia’s protection, it might get impatient and attack them later. Since the white scarecrow chased even Red Hair, which shows that its targets are not only Fei Yino, Li Manyu and members of the Fei family. Everyone in the Fei residence was doomed.

Bai Lixin thought of someone, [s419M, where is Aunt Zhang now?]

[I’ll find out, please wait, Lord Host.] s419M paused for a few seconds and then continued, [Found her, she’s hiding in the kitchen. The scarecrows haven’t found that place yet, so she’s currently safe.]

Bai Lixin: [Let’s go find her.]

S419M: [Okay, Lord Host, I’ve sent you the route map.]

A simple map appeared in Bai Lixin’s mind, and he, along with Red Hair, descended the stairs to find the kitchen. They easily found the frightened Aunt Zhang from the cabinet.

When the door opened, Aunt Zhang’s face was full of fear. After seeing Bai Lixin, her eyes suddenly showed surprise, “Young Master, why is it you? Haven’t you escaped?”

Bai Lixin opened the door, “Let’s talk later. I’ll take you out of here.”

Aunt Zhang’s eyes were complex, tinged with a hint of fear. She glanced at Bai Lixin cautiously, finally fixing her gaze on Red Hair behind him, “Miss, you’re okay too. That’s great.”

Red Hair was in no mood for greetings, and smiled perfunctorily at Aunt Zhang, “Yeah, it’s a pity I didn’t get killed by you guys.”

Embarrassment flashed across Aunt Zhang’s face, and after hesitating for two seconds, she climbed out of the cabinet.

When Red Hair looked at Aunt Zhang, all her grievances and fears turned into anger, and she vented them directly, “What on earth do you want to do? You are kidnapping and deliberately murdering, do you know?!”

“What were those masked men doing? And what are those two monsters?”

Aunt Zhang swallowed dryly, looked at Bai Lixin carefully, and finally said with difficulty: “This matter is complicated.”

Red Hair glared at Aunt Zhang, “Although you’re not the mastermind, you should be an accomplice in what we’ve suffered.”

Aunt Zhang felt even more ashamed and silently lowered her head.

As they walked into the hall, something suddenly fell from upstairs, making a muffled sound like a watermelon hitting the ground.

This was followed by Red Hair’s gasp and Aunt Zhang’s scream.

Bai Lixin stood there expressionlessly, looking at Aunt Zhang rushing frantically to the source of the sound. “Master, Master!”

What fell down was Fei Taizong. Judging by the deformed degree of his head, he was probably thrown down from the fourth floor. He had already been stabbed before being thrown down and died upon landing.

Not far away, Li Manyu had also ceased to breathe.

So far, Fei Yino, Li Manyu, and Fei Taizong were all dead.

There was a sound of wind passing overhead. Bai Lixin looked up and saw two figures in black and white standing on the stair railing, quietly watching the three people in the hall from above.

They had all gathered here instead of continuing to search for prey, so there was only one explanation.

Except for the three of them, there were no living people left in the Fei residence.

Big Zhuang and Mr. Mouse were probably in a precarious situation.

Bai Lixin silently calculated the combat power on both sides.

If he let his husband go, he should be able to handle two against one, not to mention himself. If a fight really broke out, they wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

But they still had to protect Red Hair and Aunt Zhang, which might be a bit troublesome.

Just as Bai Lixin was pondering, there was a whistle outside.

The two scarecrows, which had been quiet and still, looked at each other when they heard the whistle, then flew past them from above and directly left through the Fei family gate.

Upon seeing this, Bai Lixin immediately followed, but only saw the black and white figures blending into the night at an extremely fast speed.

They left, just like that.

Was it the whistle that called them away?

After a night of bloodshed, the Fei residence finally quieted down and fell into a deathly silence.

When the tense emotions were released, Red Hair realized that she was already drenched in sweat.

She slumped to the ground, covering her mouth in disbelief and sobbing, “Are we… saved? Wuuuu.”

Aunt Zhang looked at the bodies of Fei Taizong and Li Manyu with some sadness, and dragged her weak body to the Red Hair’s side. They looked at each other, and both immediately started to cry.

Bai Lixin let them cry as he slowly searched the Fei residence.

Perhaps out of fear, Red Hair and Aunt Zhang helped each other up upon seeing Bai Lixin move and stood behind him, sticking to him like little tails.

Bai Lixin found Big Zhuang’s body in a room on the third floor.

Big Zhuang probably died suddenly, as his eyes were not closed.

Bai Lixin subconsciously glanced at Red Hair.

After all, Big Zhuang was her boyfriend. He intended to comfort her, but when he turned his head, he saw Red Hair walk straight to Big Zhuang and helped him close his eyes.

Perhaps unable to accept that someone she was so close to died in front of her, after helping Big Zhuang close his eyes, Red Hair quickly ran back behind Bai Lixin, sighing as she walked, “People die for money, birds die for food. If Big Zhuang had listened to you in the first place and didn’t insist on staying in the Fei family as a guest, he wouldn’t have died. If he hadn’t provoked Li Manyu, we would have left long ago and wouldn’t have died. In the end, the outcome today is all his own fault.”

After speaking, she suddenly remembered that Li Manyu was Bai Lixin’s “mother” and quickly covered her mouth apologetically, looking at Bai Lixin with remorse, “Sorry, I was just talking nonsense earlier. Mrs. Fei and Big Zhuang have nothing to do with each other.”

Even though the two parties involved were already dead, Red still didn’t use this cruel reality to hurt “Bai Lixin”.

In Red Hair’s heart, “mother” was a sacred term, and no child could remain indifferent after hearing scandalous things about their mother.

However, Bai Lixin wasn’t really Xiao Tou after all. He just glanced around the room and calmly said, “Let’s go.”

They quickly found Mr. Mouse’s body in another room.

By this time, it was already 2 AM.

At the precise moment, familiar laughter arrived as expected.

The little black furry monster gradually appeared above Bai Lixin’s head, “Heeheehee, dear player, I never thought that the Goddess of Luck would actually take care of you time and time again. Congratulations, you’ve successfully cleared the second game.”

Bai Lixin looked up and met the big round eyes of the little black furry monster, “When will the third game start?”

The others couldn’t see the little black furry monster and all looked at Bai Lixin blankly.

The little black furry monster blinked its innocent big eyes, “If nothing unexpected happens, it should be tomorrow. Lucky player, no one has been able to leave the second game alive so far. You’re really surprising. You can go now, we’ll meet again when the third game starts.”

It was about to leave but seemed to remember something, so it floated down with its round body, “Actually, there’s something I don’t quite understand.”

Bai Lixin: “What’s that?”

Little Monster: “It’s, how did you know that Fei Taizong cut himself?”

Bai Lixin blinked twice, “I don’t know, wasn’t it you who told me?”

The little black furry monster widened its eyes, and its voice rose, “Me?! How could it be me?! You, you, you, you’re accusing me! I didn’t cheat!”

Bai Lixin looked very innocent, “Your tone and way of questioning at the time clearly suggested that I had eliminated the candidates you mentioned using the process of elimination. After excluding the ones I couldn’t eliminate, I thought about it, and only Fei Taizong remained.”

He paused, and gave the little black furry monster a sincere smile. “Thank you.”

The little black furry monster’s fur instantly exploded. It screamed in horror and covered its face. Its round body, like a deflating balloon, flipped several times in the air and disappeared completely. “Unbelievable, it was me?! I actually provided the answer? This can’t be possible, how could this happen.”

S419M was also shocked, [Did this little monster really give you a clue, Lord Host?]

Bai Lixin raised an eyebrow, [Of course not, silly. You believe that?]

S419M chuckled awkwardly, [Then how did you know?]

Bai Lixin: [I searched Fei Taizong’s bedroom at that time, remember?]

S419M: [Of course.]

Bai Lixin: [I found a sandalwood box in the drawer, containing something.]

S419M recalled, [I remember that box. Wasn’t it a rotting sausage?]

Bai Lixin massaged his slightly sore head, [That wasn’t a sausage, it was Fei Taizong’s part.]

S419M was shocked.

[Probably out of nostalgia for male dignity, he kept that thing.] Bai Lixin frowned, apparently recalling some not-so-pleasant memories. [That thing was obviously already necrotic. If it continued to grow on him, the necrotic cells would quickly infect his whole body, and he wouldn’t survive. If he had to cut it, it could only be done by himself. The reason for cutting that thing wasn’t revenge from someone, it was to save his life.]

S419M suddenly understood, [I see. Why did you tease the little monster like that?]

Bai Lixin didn’t blush or skip a beat, [A fluffy little ball, it’s cute when it puffs up its fur. I couldn’t resist teasing it.]

S419M: […]

‘Lord Host, you’ve become naughty.’

The restraint on Bai Lixin’s waist increased by two points. The black fog had somehow snuck into Bai Lixin’s neck, and was rubbing back and forth like a large dog. The deep voice sounded in the young man’s ear, “Although I want to accompany you more, you’re safe now. I should leave, we’ll meet again.”

A wet sensation came from the neck. Bai Lixin subconsciously touched his neck, and when he raised his hand, the black fog loosened from his and quietly dissolved into the air.

“Um, Bai Lixin.” Red Hair’s voice rang out. Bai Lixin saw Red Hair pointing to his own neck, and she said with some embarrassment, “It’s red there.”

Bai Lixin was stunned. He touched his neck and he smiled somewhat helplessly.

What’s the deal with this black fog Dijia? Even when leaving, he has to leave a mark, like a dog marking its territory.

“Let’s go,” Bai Lixin flipped his somewhat messy hair, “let’s leave this place.”

The blushing Red Hair followed behind Bai Lixin in small steps, occasionally glancing at the red marks on his neck.

‘Was that black fog just now Bai Lixin’s lover?

Isn’t this a real-life version of a ghost and human love story?

So thrilling!’

Clearly, it was also a monster. When she saw those monsters in black and white just now, she screamed in fear. However, when she saw Bai Lixin entwined with that black fog, she only felt the scene was beautiful and exceptionally harmonious.

Was this the magical power of beauty?

Exiting the Fei residence, the evening breeze immediately hit the faces of the three, instantly sweeping away the thick smell of blood in their noses.

Red Hair woke up a little and she tightened her thin clothes. The wind was cold, and with the cold sweat on her body, she was freezing.

When they were about to reach the main gate, she wanted to turn around and take a look at the Fei residence that left her with a psychological shadow for a lifetime. Terrifying images flashed through her mind and in the end, she didn’t have the courage to look back and quickly left this hellish residence.

Dijia’s car was very conspicuous, but compared to the eye-catching car, the person standing next to the car was even more eye-catching.

When Red Hair saw the tall figure, she was initially startled, thinking it was another monster.

But when she took a closer look, she realized it was an extraordinarily handsome man, with outstanding features that made it impossible to forget at a single glance.

However, Red Hair only took a quick glance and retracted her gaze. Although this person was handsome, his aura was too powerful, even taking another peek made her legs tremble.

He was leaning against the car. Compared to him, the luxury car originally worth millions dimmed instantly.

The cold and stern expression softened immediately upon seeing the three, or more precisely, upon seeing Bai Lixin. The man strode up to Bai Lixin, first seriously inspected Bai Lixin from head to toe, and when he confirmed that Bai Lixin was unharmed, he sighed in relief, “Fortunately, you’re okay. I’ve been looking for you, but couldn’t find you. I was afraid of missing you, so I waited here.”

As Dijia spoke, his eyes suddenly fell on Bai Lixin’s neck, and the originally gentle face immediately darkened.
