[Game Duration: 30 days]

Shen Ying thought to herself, "Isn't being in the same old house as the villain just being together?"

But! The other party is a ghost!

She does watch horror movies sometimes, but only the comedic ones; she never watches the spooky or terrifying ones.

In her opinion, the ghosts in comedy ghost movies are just for laughs and are not scary at all.

However, this time it was different; the old house was filled with real paranormal events.

Those shadowy ghosts, towering evil spirits, and elusive white phantoms are far more terrifying than those in the movies.

The thought of ghosts and monsters made her heart race and cold sweat pour down her back. Things that used to be easy became difficult because of her fear of ghosts.

But for the sake of her life, Shen Ying forced herself to cheer up.

In Chu Feng's slightly messy yet mysterious research room, the lights were dim.

Chu Feng stood in front of a blackboard covered with markings and said with a serious expression, "The situation at the old house is unclear this time. Has everyone prepared everything they need?"

Lin Ruo sat at the table piled high with documents, adjusting her glasses: "Electromagnetic field detector, infrared thermal imager, and..."

Before Shen Ying arrived, the original owner had already prepared everything, so Shen Ying simply checked all the things the original owner had prepared.

Chu Feng, Lin Ruo, and Shen Ying sat in the bumpy back seat of the car, the scenery outside the window flashing by like a slideshow.

Soon, the old house came into view.

It was an elegant traditional building, with flying eaves and brackets that resembled birds about to take flight. The carved beams and painted rafters were exquisite, and from the outside, it looked perfectly normal.

They entered the old house with a little trepidation. The courtyard was tidy, the rooms were clean and bright, and the air was filled with a fresh scent and a faint fragrance of flowers.

“No wonder the owner of the old house bought it. If it weren’t for those strange things, this place would be a really nice place to live,” Shen Ying said, taking a deep breath.

Chu Feng looked around: "Don't let your guard down, things are only calm on the surface."

They then followed the detailed directions left by the owner of the old house to find their rooms.

Chu Feng's room was at the end of the corridor. As soon as you entered, you were greeted by a rustic atmosphere. The tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and the bed looked very comfortable.

Lin Ruo's room is on the second floor, with a wide view and some old calligraphy and paintings on the walls.

Shen Ying's room is located next to the courtyard, a warm and exquisite dreamlike place.

As soon as you open the door, a warm and inviting atmosphere greets you. Colorful flowers bloom by the window—red as fire, pink as the sunset, and white as snow—and a gentle breeze carries their fragrance. Inside, the bed is soft and covered with a quilt embroidered with adorable patterns.

The tables and chairs are small and exquisite, with a soft sheen, and beautiful tea sets are placed on the tables.

Several paintings depicting pastoral scenes hang on the wall, adding tranquility and comfort to the room.

She fell in love with the room the moment she stepped inside.

"Wow, this room is quite cozy," Shen Ying said happily.

After checking around his room, Chu Feng came out and called out, "Don't relax too much yet. Everyone, take a short rest, and then we need to familiarize ourselves with the environment of this old house."

Lin Ruo and Shen Ying responded and returned to their rooms to rest.

The sunlight during the day bathes the old house, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Chu Feng, Lin Ruo, and Shen Ying strolled leisurely around the old house, unaware of anything unusual.

The three of them strolled to the kitchen and saw the abundant ingredients prepared by the host. However, this scene posed a challenge for them, as none of them had any cooking skills.

But my stomach was growling with hunger, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

The kitchen suddenly became lively, with a symphony of pots and pans clattering.

Chu Feng grabbed a kitchen knife and started hacking at the vegetables wildly, as if he were not chopping vegetables but fighting them.

Lin Ruo frantically fiddled with the spatula in front of the stove, splattering oil everywhere.

Shen Ying looked at the recipe with a worried expression, adding ingredients to the pot as she looked at it, but the proportions were all based on her intuition.

It took a lot of effort to finally manage to put together a meal.

Chu Feng had just put the dish Shen Ying had made into his mouth, but before he could even chew it, he spat it out as if he had been electrocuted, his face contorted in pain.

Upon seeing this, Lin Ruo burst into laughter, mocking Chu Feng for exaggerating.

Chu Feng didn't speak, but his face was pale as he picked up the food and placed it on Lin Ruo's plate.

Lin Ruo ate it nonchalantly, but the next second, his expression was as bitter as if he had swallowed a bitter herb, and he almost foamed at the mouth.

In the past, when the three of them went out, they would either eat fast food, which was simple and convenient, or they would eat at a restaurant. They never needed to cook for themselves.

This was truly the first time everyone had ever cooked.

Seeing their reactions, Shen Ying blushed with embarrassment and felt guilty. She quickly said, "Don't eat what I made. I know my cooking skills are bad, but the dishes you two made are barely edible."

After this ordeal, the two exchanged a silent glance and tacitly decided that they could no longer entrust the cooking to Shen Ying. At most, they would let her wash the rice and vegetables, so that everyone would no longer have to suffer this "torture".

As the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the eaves of the old house, it was as if an invisible hand had dragged the house into another terrifying world, and the atmosphere became extremely eerie.

The faint chirping of insects and birds that had been there just moments before abruptly ceased, leaving only a deathly silence and darkness.

Chu Feng's brows furrowed instantly, his eyes became sharp and alert, and his expression turned serious.

He quickly took out an electromagnetic field detector from his backpack and found that the readings were ridiculously high. He whispered, "The situation is worse than we thought."

Shen Ying's face had already turned deathly pale. Fear overwhelmed her like a tidal wave. Her hands instinctively gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Lin Ruo's heart was pounding, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He noticed that Shen Ying's complexion was a little off, so he reached out and gently patted Shen Ying's shoulder: "Don't be afraid, we're here."

Chu Feng also looked at Shen Ying, his gaze firm: "Yes, nothing will happen."

Shen Ying nodded slightly, but the fear in her eyes did not diminish at all. She moved closer to the two of them.

Just then, a faint sobbing sound came from afar, like a woman's lament, drifting through the corridors of the old house.

The sound seemed to come from near and far, elusive and unpredictable, like a thread piercing the ears of the three, making its source impossible to discern.

Shen Ying instinctively grabbed Lin Ruo's arm, her fingers digging tightly into Lin Ruo's clothes, her body trembling like a leaf.

Suddenly, Lin Ruo felt the air around him drop several degrees in an instant, becoming even colder. The chill came from all directions, seeping into his bones. He couldn't help but shiver, his teeth chattering. He wondered to himself, "Why did it suddenly get so cold?"

Chu Feng gripped the peach wood sword in his hand: "Let's go, let's go take a look."
