Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

Chu Feng brandished his magical weapon, each swing bringing forth a burst of light. When that light swept across the black mist, the black mist would let out a painful roar.

Lin Ruo's peach wood sword flew up and down, the runes on the blade flashing incessantly, each thrust dispelling a patch of black mist.

Shen Ying kept taking out talismans from her pocket and throwing them at the right moment to relieve the pressure on Chu Feng and Lin Ruo.

At this moment, Chu Feng accidentally touched his arm with the black mist. A sharp pain shot through him, and he gasped and frowned.

Lin Ruo's heart tightened when she saw Chu Feng injured, and she asked, "Chu Feng, how are you?"

Chu Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Don't get distracted, deal with these things first!"

The black mist surrounded the three of them, and the area kept shrinking, forcing them to huddle together tightly.

"Hmph!" Just then, a cold voice came from the air.

The black mist that had been wriggling and approaching suddenly stopped, then trembled violently as if startled, before receding rapidly like a tide.

The three exchanged glances, remaining highly vigilant. After all, what could make those black mists so fearful was probably something even more terrifying than themselves.

However, after waiting for a long time, no further dangerous signs appeared.

Chu Feng leaned wearily against the wall, blood still seeping from the wound on his arm.

Shen Ying hurriedly took out medical supplies from her backpack.

"Chu Feng, bear with it, the wound needs to be treated." She said as she carefully wiped the wound with an alcohol swab, her gaze focused.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "It's nothing, this little injury is nothing."

Lin Ruo also came over, her brows furrowed as she looked at Chu Feng's wound.

After treating the wounds, the three sat together, their expressions solemn.

Chu Feng spoke first: "The condition of the old house is worse than we expected."

Lin Ruo nodded and said, "Why don't we leave here first?"

Chu Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Alright."

Shen Ying felt a little worried after hearing their conversation.

They could leave, of course, but she couldn't; she still had a mission to complete!

But she had no right to ask the two of them to stay, since it was really too dangerous here.

So she just listened quietly, thinking, since they want to leave, then let them leave.

As for the mission, she could sneak back to complete it after the two left. Although it was really dangerous, she was willing to take the risk for the sake of her life.

The three packed their luggage and prepared to leave.

However, the moment they stepped out the door, they found themselves back inside the old house.

Unwilling to give up, Lin Ruo tried twice more, but each time she returned to the starting point.

Seeing this, Chu Feng reached out and patted Lin Ruo's shoulder, saying helplessly, "Don't waste your energy, we've run into a maze. And judging from this situation, the person behind us is extraordinary, we probably won't be able to get out anytime soon."

Lin Ruo: "Then what do we do? Just wait here to die?"

Chu Feng: "That's not necessarily true. Although we don't know why, let's make some preparations and strengthen our defenses. We can't let them attack us so easily again."

Shen Ying and Lin Ruo nodded in agreement, and the three of them immediately got to work.

Shen Ying approached the door and window, her expression focused. She parted her lips slightly, and an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation flowed from them.

After reciting each section, she would stick the talisman on the doors and windows, and the talisman would stick tightly to the doors and windows the moment it touched them.

Lin Ruo moved between the hall and the corridor, his backpack filled with simple barrier items.

Wherever he went, he would squat down and carefully place the barrier items.

Shen Ying was putting up talismans when the chair beneath her feet suddenly wobbled, causing her to lean backward.

Lin Ruo, who happened to be passing by, reacted quickly and reached out to support her waist, stabilizing her swaying figure.

"Thank you!" Shen Ying said, patting her chest lightly.

Lin Ruo supported Shen Ying's waist and said with a smile, "Be careful, I'm supporting you. Hurry up and stick the talisman on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ruo suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet and quickly spread throughout his body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

He glanced around warily. Shen Ying noticed Lin Ruo's unusual behavior, looked down at him, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Lin Ruo asked, "Do you feel like you've suddenly gotten cold?"

Shen Ying shook her head: "No, do you have a cold?"

At this moment, Chu Feng also walked over and said, "I don't feel cold either. You didn't really catch a cold, did you?"

Seeing that both of them said the same thing, Lin Ruo began to wonder if she really had a cold.

Shen Ying said with concern, "I'll bring you some cold medicine later, just to be on the safe side."

The three of them were busy until evening. After a simple dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Shen Ying, who had thought she would be too scared to sleep, fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The next day, after breakfast, the three of them walked and ended up in the back garden.

The garden was overgrown with weeds, and the once meticulously crafted flower beds were now dilapidated. Various flowers grew wildly without care, but they also had a unique wild beauty.

The surrounding trees are lush and verdant, with intertwined branches and leaves. Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.

Lin Ruo looked at Shen Ying, who was focused on looking at the flowers, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips. She deliberately approached Shen Ying with a sinister expression and said in a low voice, "Who knows, there might be an unknown corpse buried under these flowers."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ying's face instantly paled. Then, she frowned, raised her hand, and gave Lin Ruo a sharp rap on the forehead, angrily saying, "You scared me!"

The force was considerable, and Lin Ruo hissed in pain.

Shen Ying ignored him, stood up, dusted off her skirt, and turned to leave.

They walked through the courtyard and came to a room with huge bookshelves.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting shadows on the bookshelf.

Chu Feng walked over first, saying as he went, "The books here are all rare and unique."

Lin Ruo and Shen Ying followed closely behind. Shen Ying didn't understand any of this; she just looked around out of curiosity, sweating inwardly. She couldn't even understand the titles of these books.

She gently pulled out a dusty ancient book, held it in her hand, and used her other hand to brush away the dust, which danced in the sunlight.

Chu Feng was completely absorbed in the book, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing a thoughtful expression.

He suddenly said, "Come and see, this mentions some legends about the old house."

Lin Ruo and Shen Ying immediately moved closer, and the three of them put their heads together, their eyes fixed on the words in the book.

Chu Feng and Lin Ruo began to discuss seriously, while Shen Ying listened quietly from the side, since she couldn't understand what was written in the book at all.

The three of them stayed in that room for a whole day.
