I deliver food in a bizarre world

"There doesn't seem to be anything special here," Zhang Hao said softly, sweeping the flashlight beam around the living room.

Chen Mo's pupils contracted slightly.

In this living room, the grayish-white gloom was particularly active, especially around the piano and the covered mirror.

"Don't spread out too much, check together." Chen Mo gestured for everyone to come in, but not to stray too far apart.

The group cautiously entered the living room, looking around the dusty space with a mixture of curiosity and fear.

Master Liu's gaze immediately fell on the white cloth above the fireplace. He frowned almost imperceptibly, then looked at the piano, his eyes flickering.

After her lesson, Lily behaved herself for the time being, but she still held up her phone to take pictures of the entire living room.

Aunt Wang walked to the window, wanting to look outside, but the window was completely covered by heavy curtains. She tried to pull them, but the hooks above the curtains didn't budge, as if they were nailed shut. It was pitch black outside the window, and she couldn't see anything.

Zhang Hao and Li Meng looked at the piano with curiosity.

Just then, another unexpected event occurred!

"bite--"

A crisp, single note rang out from the tightly closed piano without warning!

The sound wasn't loud, but in the absolute silence, it was like a thunderclap!

Everyone was startled and immediately turned to look at the piano.

The piano lid remained tightly closed.

"What...what was that sound just now?" Li Meng's voice trembled, choked with sobs. Chen Mo had no doubt that she would break down in the next instant.

"Is...is it a zither...?" Zhang Hao also felt a chill run down his spine.

Chen Mo clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on the piano.

He could see clearly that a faint stream of yin energy had just passed through the piano keys.

But he didn't know if the noise from something unrelated to them would violate the rules.

Holy crap! The piano started playing by itself!

[A ghost playing the piano?!]

This place is too eerie!

What are you still doing here! Let's go! Let's follow the plot of a horror movie!

Aunt Wang reminded him tremblingly, her face completely pale.

Everyone held their breath, watching the piano nervously, afraid that it would make any more noise.

A few seconds passed, and the piano remained silent.

Just as everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief, Master Liu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, his voice low and urgent: "Get out of here! Quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the piano lid suddenly popped open a crack!

An even stronger sense of malice emanated from inside the piano!

Chen Mo also sensed great danger and immediately shouted in a low voice, "Get out! Quickly!"

Without him saying anything more, the crowd, who had never seen such a scene before, had already set off, scrambling and stumbling towards the living room door.

Lily was running at the back, and in her panic, she tripped over the white cloth covering the furniture and almost fell.

Just as they rushed out of the living room through the double doors, and Chen Mo reached out to close the door, he heard a loud bang.

"Bang!"

The lid of the grand piano in the living room was completely ripped off by an invisible force and slammed heavily onto the piano, making a loud noise.

Immediately afterwards, a chaotic yet strangely melodic piano melody poured out of the living room like a storm!

The sound was sharp and piercing, a melody that no human could possibly play!

At the same time, the cloth covering the mirror above the fireplace moved without wind, and a corner of it quietly slipped down, revealing the mirror's dark and deep surface, which seemed to be able to swallow all light!

"Close the door!!" Chen Mo roared. Master Liu and Zhang Hao pulled hard together and slammed the heavy double door shut!

"Bang!"

The loud slam of the door shut temporarily cut off the terrifying piano music.

Before closing the door, Chen Mo saw the strange change inside and was somewhat horrified.

"There's something terrifying there." Before he could ask a question, Xiaojing's voice echoed in his mind.

This was the first time Chen Mo had ever heard it speak in such a serious tone.

"What is that?"

"You can call it Ji, the Ji of silence."

Chen Mo frowned, puzzled, and asked, "What is that? Can you handle it?"

"The systems are different. Its very existence is terrifying. If it were outside, I wouldn't be powerful enough... If it's always inside the mirror... at best, it'd be a 50/50 chance..."

Everyone leaned against the corridor wall, panting heavily, their faces etched with shock.

Li Meng collapsed to the ground, sobbing softly.

Lily leaned against the wall, her face ashen, her chest heaving violently. This time, she was truly terrified.

Chen Mo's expression was also very serious.

Exploring just the first room triggered a series of anomalies; this mansion is more dangerous than I imagined.

He glanced at Master Liu. He had clearly seen the other man's reactions along the way, and he was the first to notice something was wrong with the piano.

Master Liu leaned against the other wall, breathing slightly heavily, his eyes filled with complex emotions as he looked at the closed door. He said in a low voice, "That piano... and that mirror... are some of the places where those things like to linger."

"How did you know?" Chen Mo asked, staring at him.

"My ancestors had some connection with this mansion. I know a little... but not much." Master Liu paused for a moment, wiped his face, and the wrinkles on his face appeared even deeper.

The explanation was vague, but in this environment, no one was in the mood to delve into it.

Only Chen Mo felt a heightened level of wariness towards Master Liu.

"We can't stay here. That sound might attract something else." Chen Mo looked towards the darker corridor on the left. "Let's go check that out."

No one objected.

After experiencing the horror of the living room on the right, everyone understood that there was no safe place in this mansion; their only way out was to explore...

The group started moving again, and Lily shut her mouth completely, obediently following behind, but her eyes kept glancing at Chen Mo and Master Liu, lost in thought.

Chen Mo walked at the front, and the injury on his left shoulder began to ache again due to the tension and exertion he had just exerted.

He rubbed his shoulders, sighed inwardly, and led the anxious team to the left.

The corridor on the left resembled a esophagus leading deep into the body of a giant beast, even more secluded and dark than the one on the right.

The flashlight beam was mostly swallowed up here, only illuminating a few steps in front of us.

The air smelled strongly of mildew, like a tomb that hadn't been opened for years.

The group walked in silence for a while, and then some rooms began to appear on both sides of the corridor, but the doors were all closed. However, the door panels were of different styles, and some doors had blurry number plates on them.

Chen Mo stopped at the doorway of what looked like a study.

In the Spirit Eye's vision, the Yin energy in this room was relatively thin, which was noticeably different from other places.

"Shall we go in and take a look?" he asked in a low voice.

Everyone looked pale. They wanted to refuse, but they had no better ideas at the moment, so they could only nod stiffly.
