Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

After eating and drinking to one's heart's content, it's easy to feel lazy and drowsy.

Feng Tianlan was the first to lie down on the bed to rest, but of course he couldn't fall asleep.

At 1:31 p.m., a series of children's innocent and clear laughter suddenly rang out.

Three children's silhouettes appeared on the open floor inside the room, running, spinning, and laughing.

It was clearly children's joy, yet it sent a chill down everyone's spine. Such eerie pleasure shouldn't be in such a place.

The phantom images of the three children vanished after their playful antics; such an intrusive method of appearance would not be friendly to anyone.

At 3:42 p.m., a transparent hand grabbed Xi Mingzhu's ankle.

Xi Mingzhu, who was sitting by the window, frowned slightly as she felt a light pressure on her ankle, and looked down at the transparent hand.

Was he chosen because of the room card he drew?

Not good.

0561 panicked and tried to budge the transparent wrist for a long time but couldn't budge it at all.

"You bastard, let go of my host! You bad thing!! Let go! If you don't let go, I'll bite you!!"

0561's ferocity was not seen by the transparent arm, and Xi Mingzhu objectively assessed that it was not a substantial threat.

While Xi Mingzhu was still pondering how to deal with this thing that night, she heard Lu Tiannan's murderous tone.

"I've never even touched my brother's ankle, how dare you?"

Lu Tiannan half-squatted down and inserted the spider dagger vertically into the transparent wrist, then his afterimage dissipated.

Lu Tiannan sheathed his dagger and looked at Shen Yi with displeasure, asking, "Brother, are you just going to let him hold you like this?"

"?" Xi Mingzhu was bewildered, not understanding what he was unhappy about.

Lu Tiannan squinted and lowered his voice.

"Is my brother's germaphobia just something he told me casually... or is it only directed at me?"

Xi Mingzhu was trying to talk to a monster of unknown origin about his obsession with cleanliness, but the monster wouldn't listen. Besides, he was the one being targeted, and how he would deal with it that night was already a difficult question.

"Is obsessive-compulsive disorder useful for dead people?"

Lu Tiannan carefully and attentively wiped Shen Yi's ankle, which had been touched by the phantom, with a tissue.

“My brother’s calls are very useful. Just now, I was almost driven crazy with jealousy.”

These words left Xi Mingzhu unsure whether they were true or false.

The killing intent just now was real; it was the first time Lu Tiannan had revealed such intent.

Xi Mingzhu lifted his foot and lightly stepped onto the windowsill.

"Jealous that I'm being targeted? Why don't you take my place?"

Lu Tiannan casually crumpled the tissue into a ball and slowly stood up.

"Even if my brother didn't say anything, I would still behave well. How could I bear to let my brother be taken advantage of by that kind of thing?"

"..." Xi Mingzhu really suspected that one day, while acting, Lu Tiannan would mistakenly believe that he was originally like this.

Being obsessed with acting will ruin you.

Lu Tiannan threw the wad of tissues in his hand into the trash can, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and when he came out, his gaze fell on Shen Yi's ankle.

His eyes held a mixture of gloom and deep displeasure.

Anyone who dares to try and take away the prey that Lu Tiannan has his eye on should think twice before trying to steal it from him.

At 5:30 PM, an umbrella appeared out of thin air.

Nothing happened this time, except for an umbrella.

The umbrella remained there even after dinner; it didn't disappear.

After pondering for an entire afternoon, Feng Tianlan finally came to a conclusion.

“I have a bad feeling. There were exactly three kids. Could it be that they correspond to the three of us? But when Brother Gu was drawing the room cards, neither of us touched them at all.”

"Moreover, the monster that came knocking this time was very targeted; it didn't even use doors or windows as a means of invasion."

Zhang Rong stared at the umbrella for a long time; the red umbrella was too strange.

Lu Tiannan chuckled lightly, saying in a lazy tone, "I should have drawn five room cards instead?"

Gu Junbai didn't even look up, picking up where Lu Tiannan left off, "The umbrella is here to find you."

Lu Tiannan understood perfectly well that the red umbrella appeared without any specific direction, yet it was full of meaning.

The smell of blood.

Lu Tiannan said slowly, "Don't worry about me, your teammates need your care more."

The calm lasted until nightfall; what was bound to happen would eventually come.

The umbrella suddenly opened, and a cloud of black mist gathered beneath it.

The black mist transformed into bats and rushed towards Lu Tiannan. Lu Tiannan smiled sarcastically, and the light of his dagger gleamed faintly among the black bats.

The black mass under the umbrella gradually coalesced into a human form—a vampire.

The three children, amidst their laughter, also pestered Gu Junbai and his companions, clamoring to play games.

Feng Tianlan, looking defiant and seemingly unwilling to be bothered, hid behind Gu Junbo and shouted, "Who wants to play games with you guys? I'm not playing."

The three children's expressions immediately changed, and they stared at Feng Tianlan with sinister eyes.

The little girl on the far left had a childish voice tinged with coldness, "Brother, why aren't you playing?"

The little boy in the middle added, "Not playing games makes you a bad kid."

The little boy on the far right grinned and pounced on him.

"Bad children should be buried in the ground and never come out again."

Gu Junbai and Zhang Rong immediately took out their fighting props. Zhang Rong went a bit overboard with a Miao sword.

The knife, about 1.6 meters long, was two heads taller than the three children.

Feng Tianlan was also stunned by Zhang Rong's equipment. "Damn, Brother Zhang, your weapon is awesome! It looks amazing!"

This time, Gu Junbai used rope to tie up the three children one by one. Zhang Rong didn't hesitate at all when he brought down his knife; he didn't treat these three children as real children.

Strangely, the three children giggled for a while and then disappeared.

A burst of laughter appeared again, this time behind Gu Junbai.

Fortunately, Gu Junbai noticed his teammate's expression and realized what was happening, thus avoiding a sneak attack.

The three adults and the three little devils were entangled in a mess.

Xi Mingzhu kept his eyes on the ground, thinking about how to defend against and deal with the hand if it came out again.

Unfortunately, he hadn't anticipated that the hand wouldn't pull him into the earth, but rather into an illusion.

While engaged in combat, Lu Tiannan took a moment to glance at Shen Yi. Seeing that Shen Yi remained seated by the window without moving, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

But the vampire in front of him kept harassing him with bats, making him very troublesome.

Thinking about dealing with the problem in front of him first, he didn't notice that Shen Yi was currently in a state where his soul was separated from his body and he was an empty corpse.

The three men who were struggling with the child were exhausted. They felt like they were being toyed with, unable to catch or kill the child.

Feng Tianlan was panting, and sweat was beading on his forehead.

"No way, Brother Gu, we can't fight like this!"

"..." Gu Junbai also realized that this was not a solution. In the current situation, they could not kill the children, and the children could not do anything to them.

It is a two-way limitation, a state of being bound.

Ignoring these kids would certainly get us through the night safely, but I can't go back on my word about dealing with just one.

Meanwhile, Lu Tiannan was keeping a close watch on the vampire near the red umbrella.

More importantly, if we don't kill them... we might have an extra room to choose from when we draw room cards tomorrow.

Staying another night would increase the risk, so that's not an option.

Thinking of this, Gu Junbai quickly said to the nearest little boy, "We'll play games with you."

The next second, the three adults and three children disappeared together.
