Chapter 345: 345: It’s Fake

“It’s fake.” Zhu Shu stated, “This was her scream before she died; I can tell, it’s identical.”

However, this explanation failed to ease Cheng Xi’s panic; on the contrary, her fear escalated!

“Why… why are they making us listen to this sound?” Cheng Xi’s voice quivered with tears, “I don’t want to listen… I don’t want to hear this sound…”

Unable to stand it any longer, the quiet Yu Yaqing slammed her fist on the wall!

With a crash, blood began seeping from between her fingers!

“Damn it!” She cursed under her breath, “Damnable game! I won’t lose! I won’t let these monsters triumph!!!”

Full of rage, she stormed towards the staircase, shouting, “Hu Ya! Come! Let’s check the third floor again!”

Even though her fear had not yet fully subsided, upon hearing Yu Yaqing’s voice, Hu Ya bit her lip and followed along.

After thinking for a moment, Su Man told Bai Youwei and Zhu Shu, “You two go back to your rooms first, I will go check the third floor.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The stairs were too steep for Bai Youwei, and Zhu Shu was not agile enough; if they were to go, they might not be able to help, but instead could become a burden.

Both of them nodded, cautioning Su Man to be careful.

While Cheng Xi was somewhat flustered, she asked them, “What about me? What should I do?”

“You?” Su Man frowned, “Go back to your own room then.”

“No!” Cheng Xi cried, “Don’t leave me alone! Please, let me come with you! I beg you!”

To the point of kneeling down in front of Bai Youwei and Zhu Shu, she began to cry uncontrollably.

By the looks of it, even if they rejected her, she would definitely insist stubbornly.

“If you want to come with us, then shut up,” Bai Youwei said in annoyance, “If you dare to make any noise, do you believe I’ll throw you outside!”

Cheng Xi nodded repeatedly, covering her mouth with her hands. Only her tears were falling silently.

The three of them returned to their rooms.

Zhao Lanfen’s terrifying scream echoed again.

Startled, Cheng Xi trembled, and dared not utter a word behind Bai Youwei and Zhu Shu.

Through the entire night, the screams never ceased.

This mansion, as if harboring malicious intentions, released

Zhao Lanfen’s dying scream every time they were about to drift off to sleep, terrifying them out of their wits! It kept their nerves on edge! And wore them out!

Finally, morning arrived, the sun came out, and the screaming stopped at last.

Each of them had bloodshot eyes.

The Inspector, who had disappeared all night, also appeared.

He brought breakfast to each of them.

Compared to the rich lunch from yesterday, today’s breakfast was much more frugal. Each person received only a cup of milk and a piece of dry bread.

Bai Youwei had no appetite. She didn’t touch the bread, drank the milk, and then went back to her room to sleep.

Seeing Bai Youwei’s carefree attitude, Yu Yaqing, with a dark expression asked, “At times like this, are you sure you can sleep?!”

“Why wouldn’t I be able to sleep?” Bai Youwei responded emotionless, “Lack of sleep will affect my thought processes. I not only must sleep – I suggest that you do the same, unless you feel you have enough energy to fight that monster until tonight – if you’ll excuse my frankness, I think that would be suicidal.”

Yu Yaqing was annoyed, “You…!”

“Leader… let’s rest a bit.” Hu Ya couldn’t help but advised, “Without any clues, it’s unlikely we will have any breakthrough just by continuing the search…”

They had not slept the entire night, and food was scarce; they simply didn’t have enough strength to carry out another large-scale search of the mansion.

After looking at the two of them, Su Man said, “Rest then, three or four hours should be enough.”

Yu Yaqing bit her lower lip. After a long pause, her expression finally softened.

She nodded.

They spent the entire morning resting.

The mansion was very quiet.

Then lunch arrived, and the Inspector rang the meal bell

Ding dong, ding dong…
