12: Chapter 12 Devil's Villa

A slightly dim Secret Room came into view, with a thick layer of dust accumulated on the floor, suggesting that no one had been here for a long time.

Except for Luo Yuejian, the others followed cautiously behind her, terrified of accidentally triggering some trap and ending up with the same fate as the Man with Slicked-back Hair.

Luo Yuejian, however, was brazenly carefree, as if afraid she wouldn't trigger a trap, poking and prodding here and there, leaving the audience in the livestream room quite bewildered.

[ Wait, what is this person doing? ]

[ Good heavens, this person is truly bold! She just witnessed her teammate die here, yet she is so daringly touching everything. ]

[ Emmm, can only say that great skill leads to great boldness? ]

[ I think the White-haired Beauty must have her reasons; we just haven't discovered the clues yet. Haven't there been several times before that proved the White-haired Beauty's observational skills are invincible? ]

[ Hey, what do you think the scene in this Secret Room is? ]

[ Looks like some kind of formation? Aren't those drawings on the ground made with fluorescent powder some kind of summoning circle? ]

[ A bit like it, but it's very strange, right? Shouldn't a summoning formation summon a Demon? This Secret Room was clearly built by the parents. ]

[ Right, aren't the parents good people? Was it the younger brother who was possessed or lured by a Demon? ]

[ Sigh, who says that formation must be for summoning a Demon? Maybe it's a formation to eliminate Demons? ]

[ Oh right, that makes sense. ]

[ However, this formation looks a bit familiar, I feel like I've seen it somewhere... where was it? ]

...

What is this scribbled nonsense?

Luo Yuejian stood before a double hexagram formation on the ground, painted with blood-red and black-purple pigments along with various strange materials, questioning her existence.

Have architects become this competitive now? They have to learn how to draw formations too?!

Blood-red and purple-black... this thing doesn't look like a good formation! Combining it with the theme of this Villa, Luo Yuejian naturally associated it with a Demon, muttering to herself subconsciously.

"Demon..."

"Demon? What Demon? Do you know something?" The Man in the Suit keenly caught Luo Yuejian's barely audible voice and asked with a somewhat excited tone.

Luo Yuejian looked back at the Man in the Suit in shock and surprise.

No way, he could hear her when she was muttering to herself so quietly?

Besides, hasn't this Man in the Suit been driven crazy by this game? She is just a trash living in a scientific world, how could she possibly know about this formation!

Quickly shifting her gaze away, Luo Yuejian lowered her eyes and started playing dumb.

The Man in the Suit had been observing the White-haired Girl all along. After seeing the White-haired Girl walk unreservedly into this new, unopened space, he vaguely guessed that Luo Yuejian might know something.

Otherwise, how would she dare to wander around so recklessly!

Therefore, the Man in the Suit had promptly caught Luo Yuejian's muttering.

A look of excitement flashed in his eyes. As expected! He knew the White-haired Girl must know something! This round is secure!

With such a big shot leading the way, the Man in the Suit's constantly tense nerves finally relaxed a little. However, when he excitedly asked about Luo Yuejian's discovery, he only saw the White-haired Girl glance back at him indifferently before she fell silent.

What does this mean? The Man in the Suit was a bit confused. He cautiously tried to fathom Luo Yuejian's thoughts.

This deeply hidden Secret Room was clearly the key to clearing this level, and might even directly determine whether they could clear it.

The White-haired Girl obviously knew something. The Man in the Suit observed Luo Yuejian's expression—calm, indifferent... The Man in the Suit was certain that Luo Yuejian knew definitely more than just a little bit, and it was even very likely that Luo Yuejian had already mastered the trick to clearing the level!

Then, could the reason the White-haired Girl was silent and not continuing to act be... that she was testing him?!

Thinking of this possibility, the Man in the Suit immediately became nervous. He pondered for a moment and asked cautiously: "Do you have any hints?"

Hearing the Man in the Suit's question, Luo Yuejian looked up at him, only to be stunned to discover that this guy was talking to her.

What the hell? You kid, why are you staring at me instead of properly looking for clues to clear the level? Damn, I'm hiding in the corner, trembling and not daring to speak, just to avoid interacting with you guys, and you're still pestering me!

Luo Yuejian was so angry she almost rolled her eyes, her voice becoming exceptionally cold: "Aren't you going to look for clues?"

Hearing the White-haired Girl's cold voice, the Man in the Suit shivered. He understood that this was the White-haired Girl expressing her dissatisfaction with his dullness.

He absolutely could not let the White-haired Girl think he was a piece of trash! Otherwise... otherwise his fate might end up the same as the Man with Slicked-back Hair.

The Man in the Suit's heart was trembling, and he barely calmed himself down. Fortunately, the White-haired Girl had finally given him a hint!

The White-haired Girl told him to look for clues, which proved that the White-haired Girl might have discovered the mystery of this Secret Room during the process of looking for clues yesterday! As long as he followed Luo Yuejian's movement trajectory from yesterday, there was a high probability of finding the real clues!

Thinking through the key points, the Man in the Suit was immediately excited and wanted to leave the Secret Room. He looked at Luo Yuejian with awe and said: "Rest assured, I will definitely find the clues!"

Luo Yuejian: ?

Why couldn't she understand what the Man in the Suit was saying? Was the Man in the Suit looking for clues for her sake? Why did he want her to rest assured? She would only be at ease if he couldn't find any clues!

Luo Yuejian just assumed the Man in the Suit was going crazy and didn't even want to bother with him.

The Fragile Girl had been listening to the conversation between the Man in the Suit and Luo Yuejian from the side. At first, because she was far away, she hadn't heard Luo Yuejian's muttering.

It was only after hearing the Man in the Suit's excited question that she realized the White-haired Girl had actually already found the clues to clear the level!

As expected of a big shot! The Fragile Girl looked at the White-haired Girl with admiration.

Immediately after, the conversation between the Man in the Suit and Luo Yuejian left her a bit confused.

She frowned and carefully pondered their conversation, then suddenly, as if enlightened, she relaxed her brows—she understood!

The Fragile Girl's gaze was firm, and like the Man in the Suit, she promised Luo Yuejian: "I will find the real clues, and I won't keep you waiting too long!"

Saying this, she ran out in a hurry. She certainly didn't want the Man in the Suit to steal the White-haired Girl's attention!

Luo Yuejian: ?

No way, are these two crazy or what? What's going on, does this Villa actually still have traces of a Demon? Can it make the players staying inside lose their minds?

Luo Yuejian's head was filled with question marks. After a while, she sighed. Forget it, it doesn't matter, if she can't figure it out, she won't think about it. Everything that is unfavorable to her is what she dreams of.

It doesn't matter, she will just slack off!
