Quick Transmigration: The Foolish Beauty Saves the World

Ruan Qinglan and her group had already passed through the first secret room and found some clues, but they still couldn't find Jingli.

They simply stopped in the study, which was at least bright.

Ruan Qinglan: "Let's sort out the existing clues first. The owner of this house is surnamed Zhu. The second young master Zhu holds a birthday banquet every year, but almost no one has ever seen the second young master in person."

You Luoyu: "After entering the house, someone kidnapped Xiaoyu. After the lights came on, a 'madman' appeared. He didn't reveal much information, but we can guess that he might be the real Second Young Master."

Ruan Qinglan shook her head: "I don't think so."

He pointed to the study: "Aside from the 'birthday banquet' itself, we have found almost no clues about the 'younger brother'."

He laid out the clues he had just found in the study.

Two letters from the eldest son of the Zhu family, a letter from a servant, and a doctor's prescription.

"Pay attention to this prescription. It still starts with the statement that the eldest son of the Zhu family is unwell, which is different from what the NPC said during the meal earlier."

Ruan Qinglan deduced, "Therefore, the Second Young Master is most likely just a decoy, and Xiaoyu's abduction is also related to this."

You Luoyu rested her chin on her hand: "The clues are still not clear enough."

"Let's find it!"

Cen Jinchuan and Shao Yu immediately took action. Since they weren't good at the game, they could only contribute more physically.

While the four were exploring the study, Jingli was led into a new room.

The security personnel had just told him that they discovered traces of an array in this very room.

The plot of kidnapping Jingli was designed to naturally bring him over.

The man in black, disguised as an NPC, led Jingli to a specially made chair and put chains on his hands and feet.

"Please wait here for a moment, our banquet will begin shortly."

Jingli moved in response, causing the chains to clang.

"who are you?"

"Guests need not ask any more questions."

Jingli feigned anger: "Is this how you treat your guests?"

"You flatter me, sir. You are the honored guest chosen by the host today. Please wait here for a moment."

After saying that, the man in black finished his scene and left as fast as he could.

Having just witnessed Jingli's methods, he didn't want to offend anyone and end up like his companion.

·

The chains on Jingli's body weren't really meant to restrain him; they just loosened when he shook them slightly.

Although the shackles are still on, at least they can move around in a small area.

He lowered his head, pulled off the blindfold, and began to observe the dimly lit room.

The chair is heavy, but not so heavy that it cannot be moved at all.

There was a table an arm's length away, probably where the key was hidden.

Having identified her target, Jingli began moving forward with the chair.

He struggled for a great deal of effort to reach the edge of the table, which was less than a meter away, and by the time his hand could reach it, it was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

Ah, so it turns out I did have a cybernetic hum! I just didn't hear Little Fish's muffled groan!

- Ugh, it's so noisy in the dark! I want to see the little fish's blushing face!

- The chains are clanging and jingling, the imprisonment play is so exciting!

- Hello everyone, I'm a pervert, I'm going first!

……

Jingli retrieved the key from the table and unlocked the chains around her waist and ankles, but she still couldn't find the key in her hand.

Besides the key, there is also a prop letter on the table.

The letter contained only four words, which Jingli read aloud: "At midnight, begin the battle."

This is not only related to the plot, but also serves as a reminder to Jingli to search for the "formation".

"Where is the formation?"

Jingli muttered something, then closed her eyes and began to feel it.

Oh! Is our little fish going to use that move?!

-Hehe, the production team didn't expect this, did they! Our Little Fish doesn't need to solve the mystery, our Little Fish can just calculate it directly!

- Hahaha, Cen Jinchuan just opened a door by force, and now Xiaoyu is going to solve the mystery by divination?

……

Jingli didn't linger in the room; she went straight out the door and into the dark corridor.

"It seems this room is truly meant for me to rest; the formation isn't here."

Jingli explained as she walked.

The corridor was unlit; according to the typical design of a haunted house, there should be mischievous NPCs here.

But there was nothing there.

Even though the floor is made of wood, you can't hear any footsteps.

The surroundings were eerily quiet; if it weren't for the movement of people in the scene, viewers would have thought the place was still.

[6058: There are energy fluctuations belonging to the Zero Boundary here.]

"Ah."

The air seemed to thicken, as if something was pulling at it, making Jingli feel very uncomfortable.

There were clearly no shadowy figures here, yet the sense of oppression was undeniably real.

Jingli took a deep breath and walked towards the place where the pulling sensation was most obvious.

-Is this...the basement?

Where are the comments?! There's nothing there, so why am I so scared?!

- I feel uncomfortable even looking at it through the screen; this place is really weird.

- I hope... nothing will happen.

……

Crane Cry and the one-eyed giant were also watching the live stream.

One-Eyed: "Was this staircase here before?"

He Li frowned and shook his head: "Have all departments prepare. If there are any abnormalities, immediately cut off the live broadcast and come to provide assistance."

Going down the stairs, there is a slightly dilapidated door, but it is not as bad as it looks.

Jingli used a lot of strength to barely push open a crack big enough for a person to pass through.

There was a corridor behind the door.

There were no cameras inside; the footage switched to a first-person perspective from the scene, supplemented by footage shot by a drone.

The corridor was narrow and low; Jingli initially had to crawl, but later she could only crawl.

The clanging of chains, the rustling of fabric, and the breathing of the people in the scene were the only sounds remaining from this live stream perspective.

I occasionally saw a comment saying "I'm scared" in the live stream, but most of the time the screen was empty.

The number of viewers in real time has increased rather than decreased.

After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding space opened up.

It was pitch black inside, with no light source whatsoever.

Just because something is temporarily invisible in the scene does not mean that viewers using night vision mode cannot see it.

-Oh my god...I'm getting goosebumps...

Is this the lair of the White Bone Demon? How come... it's all bones?

-The formation set up by the production team is too meticulous; anyone else would be terrified!

-Ahhhh, the little fish is about to touch someone's head!

……

The sound of something cutting through the air came the instant it touched the skull.

[6058: Little fish, watch out!]

Jingli nimbly dodged, but unfortunately bumped into a candlestick that had already burned out.

With a few loud "booms", dust billowed up.

Something seems to have been opened.

At the same time, a ghostly green light appeared, and a strong, fishy stench filled the air.

Live broadcast interrupted.

-Holy crap, is that special effects? Or is it real? Is that thing a snake's head?

-This side quest is terrifying! It's not the kind of horror where something scares you, it's a genuine, visceral horror!

So why did the live stream cut out? Was there some secret they weren't letting us see?

-What was that thing that shot out when the little fish hit the mechanism? It was so fast! Even a rubber ball would hurt if it hit you like that, right?

Yes, I saw that thing shoot right through the wooden table behind it! The park should probably make some improvements; this is a bit dangerous!

……

In the basement, the stench-filled creature resembled a giant snake's head—only the head, no body.

Or rather, its body was connected to the entire basement.

Perhaps sensing Jingli's intentions, the snake head kept flicking its tongue at him, and Jingli could see the dark shadow struggling to emerge from his throat.

Jingli took a small step back and condensed his power into a sword.

The snake's head was somewhat afraid of this power, so it retreated and spat out countless black shadows in an attempt to delay Jingli.
