I deliver food in a bizarre world

Chapter 96 The Silent Mansion

Lily followed behind, watching Chen Mo's back, especially the Tang sword wrapped in cloth on his back, and his cold, hard tone just now. Her dissatisfaction was brewing.

She was used to being the center of attention and to others being attentive to her, so Chen Mo's attitude just now made her very unhappy.

She thought that once she got out, she would definitely give this pretentious deliveryman a piece of her mind on her live stream.

She didn't notice that Mr. Liu, standing in front of her, would occasionally glance at the corridor walls, lingering for a long time on some inconspicuous carvings or decorations, his eyes deep, as if he were trying to identify something...

The corridor seemed to have no end, and the flashlight beam barely pierced a small patch of darkness ahead.

The air here was stagnant, carrying the smell of an old, dilapidated house. On either side of them were tightly closed doors, most of the doorknobs rusted and covered with a thick layer of dust.

"No one has been here for a long time..."

The footsteps of the six people were made extremely light, landing on the wooden floor with a slightly sharp creaking sound.

In this deathly silence, the sounds were amplified, each one caught by everyone's ears, intensifying the unease.

Chen Mo walked at the front, his spiritual eyes remaining open. The yin energy in his vision seemed to have a life of its own, slowly drifting through the corridor.

Lily held up her phone, the faint light from the screen reflecting on her somewhat pale face.

She dared not speak loudly anymore, but would occasionally adjust the angle, trying to capture more eerie details.

She stared at the peeling, ornate wallpaper on the walls, at the cobwebs hanging from the ceiling, and even considered sneaking a turn at a doorknob.

"Don't move," Chen Mo warned, his voice low but carrying an undeniable authority.

None of the people saw him turn around, and they didn't know how they saw it.

Lily's hand froze in mid-air. She pouted in dissatisfaction, but withdrew it, muttering under her breath, "Who are you trying to scare..."

Zhang Hao held Li Meng's hand tightly, and the two followed behind Chen Mo, as if they had found their pillar of support.

Li Meng's eyes were always bloodshot, and her body trembled slightly. Every time she accidentally stepped on something and made a slightly loud noise, she would shudder in fright and grab Zhang Hao's arm tightly.

Aunt Wang walked in the middle, her hands clasped together in front of her chest, silently chanting something, probably a Buddhist mantra.

Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with fear and regret. She shouldn't have come to this place tonight.

For some reason, Master Liu ended up at the back of the group, but he walked very steadily, his footsteps making almost no sound.

Those seemingly cloudy eyes would occasionally sweep over the decorative lines on the corridor walls, not even letting go of the inconspicuous carvings in the corners or the almost invisible symbols.

His fingers would occasionally touch the pocket of his work pants, where something seemed to be kept...

The atmosphere is so oppressive...

[Is Lily still broadcasting? Is she risking her life for money?!]

Come on, isn't Mo Ge broadcasting too?

How can those be the same?!

[That schoolgirl must have been terrified, right?]

[Brother Mo looks so reliable leading the way!]

"What...are we looking for?"

Zhang Hao couldn't help but whisper a question to Chen Mo. His voice echoed faintly in the empty corridor, startling Chen Mo so much that he immediately shut his mouth and nervously looked around.

Fortunately, apart from the lights seeming to have dimmed a little more, there were no other abnormalities.

Chen Mo didn't know either: "It could be anything, an object, or something else... Anyway, keep an eye out for anything unusual."

That's as good as saying nothing at all...

But everyone could only suppress their confusion and fear and continue forward.

The corridor reached a corner, where it split into two paths, one on the left and one on the right.

The one on the left was deeper, the darkness more intense, while the one on the right was very short and easily visible, its end seemingly leading to a double door.

"Which way?" Zhang Hao asked Chen Mo.

The corridor on the left was filled with a denser, almost tangible, emanating a chilling aura. The one on the right was considerably cleaner.

"Let's go check the right side first; there should be a room there," Chen Mo decided after careful observation.

He needs to ensure the safety of the team first and explore gradually, rather than plunging headlong into the most dangerous places.

When faced with a crisis, people's subconscious reaction is to scream or run away, which can then trigger a chain reaction, causing them to violate the first two rules in succession, leading to the total annihilation of the group!

Just as they turned to the right corridor, Lily, in order to find a better shooting angle, quickened her pace and accidentally kicked a decorative blue and white porcelain vase about half a person's height on the side of the corridor.

The porcelain bottle shook, making a startling clattering sound.

In an instant, a chilling aura filled the corridor, and everyone noticed a sudden drop in temperature!

Moreover, the eyes of the figures in the portraits hanging on both sides of the corridor seemed to all turn and focus on Lily!

Although it was only for a brief moment, the feeling was incredibly clear and could not possibly be a hallucination!

"Ah!" Li Meng was the first to gasp, covering her mouth tightly.

Zhang Hao also felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight up to the top of his head.

Lily was so terrified that her face turned completely white, and she froze on the spot, too scared to move.

Chen Mo turned around abruptly, his gaze sweeping over Lily and the paintings like a sharp blade.

The eyes of the figures in the painting have returned to normal, as if what happened just now was merely an illusion caused by light and shadow.

But he could see it clearly thanks to the advanced mirror-friendly surveillance features!

In this corridor, the phone screen and the glass frames on both sides are all Chen Mo's eyes!

This is also why Chen Mo can see everyone's movements without turning around!

"Keep your feet to yourself!" Chen Mo's voice was filled with suppressed anger. "Don't cause trouble if you don't want to die!"

Lily's lips trembled, and this time she couldn't even utter a rebuttal. She obediently shrank back into the middle of the group and dared not touch anything again.

She was the person in the painting, and the feeling of being stared at by everyone in the painting almost made her heart stop!

[Holy crap, it's animated!]

[I saw it too! The painting in front of Mo Ge really moved!]

This woman is a real menace!

[Brother Mo got angry, it was terrifying!]

This is the first time I've seen Mo Ge get this angry!

This little incident made the atmosphere in the group even more tense, and everyone became more careful, almost tiptoeing forward.

Despite the short distance, it took them more than a minute to reach the double doors.

The door was made of heavy solid wood, had no lock, and was carved with intricate patterns; it was also covered in dust.

Chen Mo tried pushing it, and the wooden door creaked heavily as it slowly turned inward.

The flashlight swept past the doorway and revealed a spacious living room. Or rather, it used to be a living room.

At this moment, all the furniture was also covered with white cloth, resembling a huge funeral hall.

The fireplace was filled with ashes, and above it hung a large, flat object covered with a cloth.

It must be a mirror... Chen Mo couldn't be sure.

An old-fashioned grand piano sits in the corner of the living room, its keys yellowed and its lid tightly closed.
