9: Chapter 9 The Devil's Villa

Luo Yuejian was almost so angry she laughed.

"Fine. I haven't even settled scores with you yet, you actor! How dare you jump out!"

The Suit-wearing Young Man frowned slightly as he looked at the Man with Slicked-back Hair. He sighed inwardly, then nodded, "Then let's go check the Kitchen first."

The group headed to the Kitchen. At this moment, the Kitchen had returned to a peaceful state, with absolutely no sign of the eerie and terrifying atmosphere from last night.

The Man with Slicked-back Hair was eager to peel off the sticker on the refrigerator to prove his innocence. He tore off the sticker and took a look. He immediately became excited and shouted, "There are no words on this! I didn't lie!"

He looked at Luo Yuejian with a resentful expression, "It's this woman who is lying!"

Luo Yuejian was full of question marks. Looking at the sticker that was indeed blank, she didn't know how to defend herself.

But the Man in the Suit interrupted the Man with Slicked-back Hair's accusations, "I believe the White-haired Girl is not lying."

The Man with Slicked-back Hair looked at the Man in the Suit in disbelief, not understanding why the Man in the Suit was speaking up for the White-haired Girl.

The Man in the Suit didn't look at the Man with Slicked-back Hair. Instead, he took out the notebook that Luo Yuejian had previously searched for in the younger brother's Bedroom from his pocket.

He flipped the notebook to one page, then to another, separated the two pages with his fingers, and then handed the notebook to the others.

It could be seen that those two pages of the diary were written as follows:

Year X, Month X, Day X. Weather: Sunny.

"I was woken up by the thunder outside the window in the middle of the night. My eyes opened a slit in a daze, but I was horrified to discover a dark shadow at the door of the Bedroom! I was immediately scared awake, but I didn't dare to make a sound. I was so scared..."

Year X, Month X, Day X. Weather: Sunny.

"My heart is like the rain outside the window. I will die here..."

The Man with Slicked-back Hair asked in confusion, "What's wrong with this diary?"

The Middle-aged Woman also whispered, "It doesn't seem like there's any problem..."

Only the Fragile Girl looked timid, but a hint of contemplation flashed in her eyes as she took the diary and began to flip through it again.

The Man in the Suit didn't look at the Man with Slicked-back Hair or the Middle-aged Woman, but looked at Luo Yuejian with a complex gaze, "You discovered it long ago, right?"

Luo Yuejian: ?

The Man in the Suit looked at Luo Yuejian's calm and indifferent expression, and became even more certain of his thoughts.

He exclaimed with admiration, "As expected of you. You must have discovered it the moment you finished reading this diary, right? I only noticed something was wrong because you lingered on this page for too long."

Luo Yuejian kept a cold face, but her heart was full of question marks: ?

The Man with Slicked-back Hair was also confused and asked the question that was in Luo Yuejian's heart for her, "No, what's the problem with these two pages of the diary?"

Before the Man in the Suit could explain, the usually Fragile Girl stood out, a flash of tenacity in her eyes, "Haven't you noticed yet? The weather recorded in these two diary entries is completely opposite to the content of the diary!"

Hiss, it really is like that... Luo Yuejian was astonished to discover that she hadn't noticed this point at all.

The Man with Slicked-back Hair, having been pointed out a clue he hadn't noticed by the Fragile Girl he looked down upon, felt his face flush with shame and anger. He snapped, "So what? What does this prove?"

Neither the Man in the Suit nor Luo Yuejian spoke. The Man in the Suit wanted to see how much further the Fragile Girl could analyze, while Luo Yuejian... she simply didn't know what this proved either, her outwardly calm face masking inner guilt.

Seeing that neither of them intended to speak, the Fragile Girl continued, "So this proves that this entire diary is fake! Only by following the opposite information can the true clues be unearthed!"

She flipped the diary to one of the pages and showed it to everyone.

Year X, Month X, Day X. Weather: Cloudy.

"Do not leave the Bedroom after 12:00 midnight!!!"

"This, this is the real clue!" the Fragile Girl said with a firm expression.

A trace of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the Man in the Suit; clearly, the Fragile Girl's analysis was exactly the same as his own.

The Fragile Girl looked at Luo Yuejian again, her face full of admiration, "Big sister discovered it long ago, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have risked your life to go out last night. Am I right, big sister?"

Luo Yuejian: ?

It happened again. No, why is everyone asking her? What did she discover? She was clearly just wasting time yesterday, and she risked her life at night, so how did she end up knowing everything? She wasn't a psychic!

At this moment, in the livestream room:

[Damn, is this White-haired Girl really this amazing? Why does it feel so fake...]

[It's real! I watched the replay of the livestream. When she saw these two pages, there really was an obvious pause for a long time!]

[Yes, yes, yes, I noticed it too! I thought she was just spacing out and slacking off, I didn't expect it to actually hide a mystery!]

[My god, this is too amazing! Being able to spot the loophole in the diary at first glance, and then risking going out of the room that same night to find the key clue. This observation and action ability, it's absolutely top-notch!]

[Ahhhhh, I knew this person was a big shot!]

[There were many behaviors of the White-haired Girl before that I found strange. Could it be that those strange behaviors actually have deeper meanings?]

[Probably not... I think this little girl is just a bit more careful, no need to blow it up to be so godly.]

[Doesn't matter, my goddess will slap your faces later.]

"Big sister, am I right?"

Luo Yuejian: ?

You guys can show off on your own, but why do you keep dragging her into it!

Luo Yuejian couldn't analyze anything. She awkwardly scanned the crowd, suddenly discovered a problem, and subconsciously asked, "Where is the Middle-aged Man?"

Everyone who was scanned by Luo Yuejian's cold gaze felt a chill in their hearts, especially the Man with Slicked-back Hair and the Middle-aged Woman. They felt that Luo Yuejian was silently calling them trash, and their faces instantly flushed with embarrassment.

The Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl also had the feeling of being scrutinized. If they were looked at like this by an ordinary person, they might have felt displeased, but being looked at by Luo Yuejian, they both felt that this was Luo Yuejian testing whether they had the ability to clear the game with her, and they couldn't help but stand up straight.

Hearing Luo Yuejian's question, the face of the Man with Slicked-back Hair, who had just been feeling ashamed and angry, instantly turned pale.

He mumbled for a while and stammered, "He... he... he went to the Restroom last night, and then he never came back..."

The Man in the Suit added with a grave expression, "I went to check that Restroom this morning, there was no one inside... and no corpse either."

The Middle-aged Woman and the Fragile Girl's faces also turned pale instantly. They were not very brave to begin with, and now that they heard someone had actually disappeared, they were almost scared out of their wits.

The Fragile Girl who had just been calmly analyzing lost all rationality, fear undisguised in her eyes. She subconsciously moved a few steps closer to Luo Yuejian and said tremblingly, "Big sister... what... what should we do?"

Luo Yuejian didn't know what to do, only inwardly regretting why she hadn't gone to the Restroom last night!

Hearing the Fragile Girl's question, she subconsciously replied, "Then let's go check the Restroom."

Now even the expression of the Man with Slicked-back Hair was filled with some awe. After all, in a situation where everyone knew the Restroom must have lethal danger, Luo Yuejian actually dared to go to the Restroom to investigate. Such courage was hard not to admire.

The Man in the Suit nodded and led Luo Yuejian and the others to the Restroom on the Second Floor.
