Chapter 26 Night Owl
Bolts of lightning pierced the sky from time to time, turning the entire world pale. The rumbling of thunder was incessant, and the rain was madly pouring down as if the bank of the heavenly river had collapsed.
"I think it's better not to burn the whole place down like this..."
Raising her hand, the petite Night Owl spoke timidly.
"After all, we don't know what the situation is now. And what if the fire triggers a certain death flag..."
Unlike the other three players, this female player named Night Owl obviously had a natural fear of the current dark environment.
"Well~ These gasolines are originally used as a last resort. When it is really critical, just burn it down. For those anomalies that may be hidden, the flame can be regarded as a magical attack..."
Shrugging, Bai Zhi picked up a bright flashlight from the table.
"Anyway, let's explore according to the original plan. This villa has three floors in total. In order to ensure safety, the four of us will explore the first floor first. Since we now had strong flashlights, it shouldn’t be that bad... What's your opinion? ?"
"I have no opinion."
Shaking her head, Gentle Smile and Soft Heart followed and picked up the flashlight on the table.
"On the first floor there is a kitchen, two toilets, a master bedroom, a guest bedroom, a lobby, a storage room, and a stairwell. In total, there are eight places, so each person can explore two places. If you find anything unusual, just call us. Is there a problem?"
"Can, can we split into groups of two?"
Looking at the dark surrounding environment, and thinking of the classic horror films she had seen before, Night Owl found her body trembling slightly.
"Isn't that how those horror movies are played? Moving out separately is the dumbest idea. The, the first floor is not that big anyway..."
"I agree with Night Owl."
Probably because his leadership has been diluted, Bearded Guy's complexion looked a little unsightly.
"If there are four people, we can divide them into two groups with one male and one female in each group."
"Okay, I don't mind."
While moving the barrels of gasoline to the dry place beside the wall, Bai Zhi replied indifferently.
"I'm going to the kitchen first. If you want to team up with me, just come over by yourself."
After saying this, Bai Zhi turned on the flashlight in his hand and walked straight towards the kitchen.
"Wait, wait for me."
Seeing Bai Zhi leave, Night Owl hurriedly picked up a flashlight from the table and followed him.
"Then let's start with the master bedroom, shall we?"
Seeing that the groups were quickly divided, Gentle Smile and Soft Heart turned her head indifferently and spoke to Bearded Guy beside her.
Compared with the unpredictable Black and White, she preferred to team up with Bearded Guy who seems to be calmer... Speaking of which, would normal people really put so many barrels of gasoline in their backpacks?

On the other side, Bai Zhi has stepped into the kitchen.
Compared with the messy lobby before, the situation in the kitchen seemed to be much better. The shutters were tightly closed to block the storm from the outside world, and the whole kitchen seemed to be quieter than the outside world.
The trash can has long been full, and a lot of rubbish had even spilled out from the trash can and rolled onto the ground. The rubbish was covered with a thick layer of flies. As soon as the strong light of the flashlight shone past it, those flies suddenly took off like a dark cloud.
At this moment, a slightly panting figure just happened to arrive after Bai Zhi. When she saw the soaring black cloud, she exclaimed in fright.
"Those are just flies."
Bai Zhi's calm words came from the side.
"I know, but it happened so sudden... What are we doing next?"
Unconsciously, she reached out and grabbed the corner of Bai Zhi's clothes. The calmness displayed by the player whose ID was Black and White gave Night Owl considerable comfort.
"Have you ever played an RPG game?"
Turning his head to look at the other party, Bai Zhi didn't care about the other party’s action, and while asking questions, he looked at the kitchen in front of him.
"Uh...I have played a little..."
"Then you can think of this as a real RPG game. The game characters we are controlling struttingly entered other people's homes and rummaged through boxes, taking all the valuables, gold coins, herbs, etc., If you see any pots and so on, just smash them to see if there are any hidden items, and then the villagers will still gratefully call us Hero..."
While speaking, Bai Zhi walked to the coal stove and pointed the light of the flashlight at the pot.
The gas had long been cut off, but the pot was filled with unknown dark red substances. The liquid in the pot had long been agglomerated, and a layer of white maggots was squirming on it, which looked very disgusting.
"Would you like to try it?"
After thinking for a while, Bai Zhi turned his head and looked at the girl who was still clutching at the corners of his clothes and nervously looking at the surrounding dark environment.
"What, what?"
Night Owl turned her head quite nervously.
"I said, do you want to try it? It's high in protein, and you look pretty nervous right now."
Bai Zhi patiently repeated his words again.
"Protein……"
Somewhat dazedly following his instruction to look at the pot, the poor Night Owl's face changed sharply in an instant, and she hurriedly looked away, almost throwing up on the spot.
Since entering this kitchen, everything she has seen has challenged her physical limits.
——She suddenly felt a little regret for being in the same group with this Black and White.
"How are you feeling now? Are you still afraid now?"
Looking at Night Owl who was bending over to cover her mouth, Bai Zhi clicked his tongue.
"Fear is a stress response that everyone has, but too much fear can't get you too far in this game, so you have to try to overcome fear and replace it with other emotions."
"...I'm not afraid anymore, but now I have a strong desire to beat you up..."
Night Owl, who was pale and straightened up again, answered very weakly.
"Can you change the method next time, please?"
"Good medicine won’t taste good, and good advice won’t sound pleasing. If you can't overcome even the most basic fears, with all due respect, you will die in a certain mission or be killed by an anomaly before you can get very far."
Bai Zhi shrugged indifferently. Seeing that there was basically nothing to explore on the stove, he walked straight to the refrigerator near the corner of the kitchen.
As soon as he got close to the refrigerator, an extremely strong nasty smell came towards him. Waving his hand indifferently to blow away the smell in front of him, he stretched his hand to the refrigerator door.
"Hmm… It smells a bit like a rotten..."
"Wait, wait a minute!!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was stopped by the panicked Night Owl.
"Mhm? What's wrong?"
"Let, let me close my eyes first..."
Seeing the girl beside him who was shivering and noticing that her posture had changed from holding the corner of his clothes to hugging his arm at some point, Bai Zhi couldn't help but look a little speechless.
"Uh... are you serious..."
While whispering such words in his mouth, Bai Zhi reached out and opened the refrigerator door.
At the moment when the refrigerator door was opened, he just happened to meet a face in the refrigerator. The red viscous liquid poured out from the refrigerator, slowly sliding to the ground and meandering towards his feet along the refrigerator door.
