15: Chapter 15 Devil's Villa

Luo Yuejian, who had been dazed, suddenly clearly felt stomach acid rising, and her stomach gave a barely audible growl, instantly making her cringe so hard she curled her toes.

However, she thought to herself that since arriving in this cursed game, she hadn't had any food or water, and it had already been a day and two nights, so it was only natural to feel hungry.

Thinking of this, the embarrassment in Luo Yuejian's heart eased quite a bit.

"I wonder if there is anything to eat in the Kitchen here?" Luo Yuejian pondered.

She organized her wording for a while, coming up with a long speech to remind the others to go make something to eat to satisfy their hunger, but when she opened her mouth, she only whispered, "Kitchen..."

The Secret Room was already extremely quiet, and even breathing could be heard clearly. The Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl, who were caught in internal conflict, immediately heard Luo Yuejian's low words and were stunned.

Kitchen? What Kitchen? Could the White-haired Girl be hungry? The Man in the Suit thought, finding a bit of dark humor in the situation.

He certainly knew that the White-haired Girl couldn't have said the word "Kitchen" just because she was hungry, but he really didn't understand what she meant.

The Fragile Girl also looked puzzled. However, she was a careful person; every time she arrived at a new place, she would subconsciously observe her surroundings. So, she began to try hard to recall the things inside the Kitchen.

Once she thought about it, the Fragile Girl immediately widened her eyes, her expression so excited that the Man in the Suit couldn't help but look at her.

The Man in the Suit asked, "What is it? Did you remember something?"

The Fragile Girl nodded heavily and said excitedly, "Do you remember the smell coming from the refrigerator in the Kitchen?"

The Man in the Suit said in astonishment, "You mean..."

"Yes! It is very likely that the refrigerator contains blood!"

The Fragile Girl calmed her excitement and immediately ran to the Kitchen. Opening the refrigerator door, it indeed contained two large bowls of unknown red liquid and many disgusting chunks of meat floating with white oil clots.

A thick, nauseating smell of blood rushed towards her, yet the Fragile Girl only felt fortunate. That feeling of relief that she had maintained her bottom line and had not lost the foundation of being human almost made her shed tears.

The Man in the Suit, who was following closely behind the Fragile Girl, also saw the contents of the refrigerator. The smell of blood filled his nasal cavity, but at this moment, it smelled better than any perfume he had ever smelled before.

The Middle-aged Woman, who had been staying in the living room, saw the Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl rushing to the Kitchen one after another and couldn't help but stand up and walk towards the Kitchen as well.

Her voice held a hint of hesitation and ingratiation: "What's going on? Is there something in the Kitchen?"

Both the Fragile Girl and the Man in the Suit turned to look at the Middle-aged Woman. The Middle-aged Woman would never know that in this instant, she had saved her precarious life. She had truly brushed past the Grim Reaper.

The Fragile Girl smiled in relief and shook her head, "It's nothing, Auntie, we just found an important item. We might be able to clear the level soon."

"Really?!" Hearing this, the Middle-aged Woman was so excited that her eyes turned red. In this Villa, she had experienced nightmares she hadn't faced in the first fifty years of her life, and the pressure in her heart was almost suffocating her.

Finally... is it finally going to end? The Middle-aged Woman felt a bit dazed.

With the blood gathered, the rest of the matter was simple.

Hmm... relatively simple.

According to the records in that mysterious formation book, the Six-Pointed Star Spiritual Body Dual-Row Exorcism Formation required not only 6000 milliliters of blood but also twenty or so scattered materials.

Among them, the six main ingredients and seventeen auxiliary ingredients were not things that were easy to find. Take, for example, the mouse's eyelashes—what decent person collects that kind of thing!

However, the Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl also knew that since the owner of this Villa had this formation book and had basically constructed the prototype of the Six-Pointed Star Spiritual Body Dual-Row Exorcism Formation, they must have already collected the remaining materials.

All they needed to do was find these materials that had already been collected.

Two hours later, the Fragile Girl finally found the last item—a lizard leg—in a hidden compartment in the nightstand of the parents' room.

They excitedly took all the necessary materials and returned to the Secret Room full of hope.

The White-haired Girl was still standing there coldly, yet she made the Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl feel incomparably at ease. The White-haired Girl was like a needle that calms the sea; as long as she was there, one could be fearless of the wind and waves.

The Man in the Suit glanced at the White-haired Girl, and seeing that she had no reaction, he took the six main ingredients from the Fragile Girl—three lizard legs, five spider leg hairs, three mouse eyelashes, five milliliters of Higanbana juice, one petal of a Tianshan snow lotus, and one piece of obsidian.

The Man in the Suit placed the six main ingredients into the six corners of the Six-Pointed Star Formation in order. After the last main ingredient was placed in its proper position, the Six-Pointed Star Formation underwent an astonishing change.

The formation, which had originally been drawn on the ground like graffiti, began to emit a glowing light from both the purple and red lines, and the purple lines began to rotate before the surprised eyes of the Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl.

After running for three circles, a purple-black vortex suddenly appeared in the center of the Six-Pointed Star Spiritual Body Dual-Row Exorcism Formation; it seemed to contain endless stars shining within, yet it was mysterious and restrained, leaving the Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl in awe.

Following the operating steps in the mysterious formation book, the Man in the Suit threw the other auxiliary materials into the vortex one by one, until the last item—six thousand milliliters of fresh blood.

However, just at this moment, a scream from outside attracted their attention.

"It's the Middle-aged Woman!" the Fragile Girl said, her face pale.

The Man in the Suit looked grim and gritted his teeth: "What happened? Wasn't she staying in the living room the whole time?"

Given the Middle-aged Woman's timid personality, she would never dare to touch anything on her own, let alone trigger any taboos. What exactly was going on?

The Man in the Suit walked to the door of the Secret Room and was terrified to discover that, except for this Secret Room, outside the door, demonic winds were raging, and gray fog was permeating the entire Villa.

Even without approaching the door of the Secret Room, the Man in the Suit could feel the chilling, oppressive cold outside, which made one's heart tremble.

"What is this?!" The Man in the Suit was shocked.

The Fragile Girl also walked behind him at this moment, saw the situation outside, and said with a pale and solemn face: "It is possible that we triggered the Exorcism Formation, causing the remaining demons in the Villa to be stirred up..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a ghostly figure with a ferocious expression floated past outside the Secret Room, looking greedily at the people inside, but it was unable to enter the Secret Room due to some obstacle.

The Fragile Girl was so scared that she took two steps back and almost fell to the ground; her trembling fingertip pointed to the records in the mysterious formation book, "This... it mentions here that the formation being near completion is very likely to trigger a demonic riot..."

But she didn't expect this phenomenon to be like this; at this moment, except for the inside of the Secret Room, the outside was occupied by demons.

She had originally intended to call the Middle-aged Woman into the Secret Room once the formation was nearly complete, but she was too excited about leaving this cursed place. She had completely forgotten her previous idea.

The Middle-aged Woman died outside without any precautions, just like that; she lost her life simply because of one of her oversights.

The Fragile Girl felt a complex mix of emotions in her heart—self-reproach, guilt, regret, and so on; tears flowed out uncontrollably.

The Man in the Suit did not know about the self-reproach in the Fragile Girl's heart; he only lamented that it was the Middle-aged Woman's fate. Because she didn't dare to see the corpse of the Man with Slicked-back Hair, she stayed in the living room and ultimately died miserably there.

Just as he was lamenting in his heart, a sound of something falling came from behind, followed by the sound of flowing liquid.

The Man in the Suit turned back in disbelief, then saw with eyes splitting in rage that the bowl that had originally contained the blood was overturned on the ground, and the bowl full of blood had spilled completely onto the empty floor.

The blood flowing and dissipating on the ground was like the Man in the Suit's own lifeblood, now vanishing into thin air. No one could accept that a life that had been saved with such difficulty was now lost due to such a joke-like mistake.

The Man in the Suit slowly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, only to see that the person standing next to the empty bowl was actually—

The White-haired Girl.
