The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

Since we're already here, we definitely have to go down.

Seeing that Xiaobaihua's face was pale and she was struggling, Luo Qingcheng took the lead, snatched the candlestick from Xiaobaihua's hand, and walked down directly.

"If you dare go down there, your aunt won't let you off when she comes back at dawn!"

Luo Qingcheng waved her hand, "You'll be back at dawn, right? I know."

The candlelight could only illuminate a small part of the space, so Luo Qingcheng couldn't see how long the winding staircase was and could only keep going down.

Did they dig this basement all the way to the Earth's core?

She grumbled inwardly while calculating the time.

She had thought that by daybreak she would have plenty of time, but she was completely disoriented from going down the stairs.

As Luo Qingcheng began to struggle with whether she should return the way she came, she heard a mournful song.

The singing was beautiful, and the echoes reverberated in this basement that seemed to have been dug into the underworld, making it ethereal and melodious.

If an album is released, Luo Qingcheng would be very willing to buy it.

It just sounds familiar.

It's like I've heard the same song somewhere before.

It sounded so good that she wanted to go to sleep.

As Luo Qingcheng descended further down the mountain, the singing grew louder and louder.

Until Luo Qingcheng descended the last step—

The singing abruptly stopped after a "thud" of footsteps.

Luo Qingcheng raised the candlestick, which was already half-burnt, and shone it in all directions.

In the instant she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of a distorted dark figure out of the corner of her eye.

Hallucination?

Luo Qingcheng stopped what he was doing and waited for a while, but he didn't see the same dark figure appear.

She took a step forward.

A dark shadow swept past her again—

Luo Qingcheng: ...

She didn't turn around this time because, according to the tropes of horror games, turning around would greatly increase the chances of encountering a jump scare.

Seeing that Luo Qingcheng hadn't stopped at all, several shadowy figures huddled together in the darkness and began to whisper among themselves.

Did she not see it?

“I told you Yan Yan’s pranks are outdated; people don’t fall for them anymore.”

"How much longer is Yan Yan going to pose like that?"

Luo Qingcheng was helpless.

"I can hear it."

The whispers vanished instantly.

Luo Qingcheng was shocked; she could actually be true to herself?

She added, "A friend has come from afar—"

Before she could continue, a soft female voice interjected, "Though they are far away, they shall be punished?"

Luo Qingcheng wiped his sweat. "That's really unnecessary. But would you all be willing to show yourselves?"

Red Bean's illiterate daughter will sometimes speak strangely when necessary.

"She's so brave, braver than the last one, I love her! (/w＼)"

"She wants to see us, should we go?"

"Won't that scare her?"

Upon hearing this, the other voices that had been stirring immediately fell silent.

The one from before?

Luo Qingcheng smiled and said, "How could that be? I consider myself quite bold, and besides, all of you sisters are gentle and kind."

"Since she said that, shall we go out?"

"Wow, wow!"

Suddenly, the bright light caused my eyes, which had adapted to the darkness, to be temporarily blinded.

The tears that Luo Qingcheng shed from the light turned into pearls before hitting the ground with a "plop".

When Luo Qingcheng regained her sight, she saw a woman standing sideways in front of her.

The woman was wearing the same wedding dress as Luo Qingcheng, and the half of her face that was exposed was exquisitely made up, showing that she was a beauty.

Luo Qingcheng didn't quite understand why such a beautiful woman would be afraid of scaring him.

Until the beauty slowly turned around, the two faced each other.

Luo Qingcheng was startled. The other half of the woman's face was completely rotten, with the white bones faintly visible among the decaying flesh. Fortunately, she immediately controlled the gasp that came out of her mouth.

After pausing for a moment, she put on a polite smile and said, "Why don't the other three sisters come out to greet us?"

As soon as she finished speaking, three other women in wedding dresses appeared in front of her. However, one had no head, one had no hands, and one had no feet. They all floated in mid-air, their figures transparent.

At this moment, except for the headless one, the other three were all staring intently at her.

Looking at their identical wedding dresses, Luo Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh, "This family always uses the same setup for their weddings."

The four ghosts waiting for her reaction were a little confused, not expecting her first reaction to be like this.

She chuckled again, still with all her limbs intact, and said, "My little sister is so funny, I like it."

As she spoke, she gave Luo Qingcheng all sorts of flirtatious glances.

The other two whispered among themselves, glancing at Luo Qingcheng every now and then, their conversation unreadable.

The one without a head has two fingers twisted together, looking quite shy.

Knowing the situation, Luo Qingcheng answered without hesitation, "I like the older sisters too."

Taking advantage of the fact that the ghost hadn't shown any hostility towards her yet, Luo Qingcheng asked the question that had been bothering her: "Sister, could you tell me who this 'previous one' you were talking about was?"

"It's the woman who appeared here without us even knowing how. When we found her and tried to play with her, she injured Yan Yan and ran away."

Speaking of this, the three ghosts seemed very angry. They pointed at the headless ghost and accused Luo Qingcheng of the woman's unreasonableness and cruelty.

Luo Qingcheng was at a loss for words.

If it's a woman who suddenly appeared not long ago, could it be Hongdou or Sister Hu?

"Do you still remember what she looked like?"

"Hmm...only Yan Yan knows, let's ask Yan Yan."

As they spoke, the four ghosts floated together.

Luo Qingcheng could only see the headless ghost and found nothing or did anything, but the other three ghosts nodded from time to time, as if they had heard something.

"I'm sorry, Yan Yan said she didn't see what she looked like."

Luo Qingcheng quickly said it was alright.

"Let's not talk about this thing that's making Hun angry. Let's play together, shall we?"

Luo Qingcheng refused.

She could also see that these four ghosts were naive and simple-minded, no wonder they were deceived by scumbags.

The little white flower specifically told her that this clue was meant to help her find a way to break the deadlock.

She doesn't have time to play with them right now.

Rejected, the four ghosts were not angry; they simply sighed in disappointment and vanished into thin air.

But the light they brought did not disappear.

Luo Qingcheng didn't know how long the light would last, so he quickly began to explore the underground.

The underground space is vast and seems to stretch as far as the eye can see.

She walked forward for a while, and gradually a bloody smell filled the air, mixed with the stench of rotting animals.

The smell grew stronger, and Luo Qingcheng had to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve to filter out some fresh air for himself.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but there seemed to be a red mist in the air.

With visibility decreasing, Luo Qingcheng lost his footing and fell into a pool of water.

The pool is very deep.

She struggled for a couple of moments but couldn't get up. She then tried to use the edge of the pool for leverage, but accidentally choked on some water. At that moment, her mouth and nose were filled with the smell of blood.

Luo Qingcheng held onto the pool wall with one hand and wiped the water off his face with the other, only to find that the water on his hand was very thick and sticky.

She looked down and saw that her hands were covered in bright red blood!
