Safe House

Qin Rang also recovered quickly under Bubble's treatment. His skin and flesh injuries had almost healed, but he still needed to rest and recuperate to replenish the energy he had lost.

Tao Yuan helped Qin Rang sit down at the long table, and then sat down beside him to rest and recover his energy.

After putting the Evil Ghost Mask away, Qin Rang rubbed his temples and said, "Let me see that Rules."

Mi Chuchu handed him the paper.

Bai Yang sat at the back of the long table, surrounded by four small animal Puppet that bounced and jumped around him. He played with the Puppet while watching them. The silence period hadn't ended yet, so he had to remain quiet.

"These Rules are definitely in our favor. However, the temporary Safe House only accommodates eight people. If we find An Ying and the others, eight people will be far from enough." Qin Rang quickly reviewed and analyzed the situation after regaining his composure.

"So we can't hide here forever; we have to keep sending people in shifts to survive in the Castle and search for clues."

"The Castle at night definitely holds different clues than during the day. Before I was chased, I found a knife in the Corridor. When I picked it up, it told me my Dream Points increased by one," Mi Chuchu said.

"We also found a photo, but the face in it was very blurry and unclear, yet we added a few points to the Dream Point," Wang Ding said.

"What's the point of these Dream Points? We've accumulated three, which is equivalent to three Dream Attempts. It can't be for marking important clues, can it?" Mi Chuchu asked.

Tang Pin: "It's not impossible, is it?"

Tao Yuan opened her eyes and joined the discussion. "How could that be the reason?"

Tang Pin raised an eyebrow. "Then what do you think is the reason?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not that simple."

Tao Yuan closed her eyes again to recover her energy. "When I was escaping, I saw a door that couldn't be opened during the day open. The light inside was a bit strange. We can look for doors that can be pushed open later."

"I remember the scene inside that door was somewhat old-fashioned, and it didn't match the style of the outside Corridor. It's very likely that the space inside the door is not in the same time period as we are now."

"Perhaps we can use this time difference to find out who killed these people, and follow the clues to see who really wanted everyone dead."

Wang Ding said, "I already have someone I suspect killed them."

"I have one too," Qin Rang said.

"I have one too."

"Me too," Bai Ao asked happily, "Is the person you suspect Young Master Ravenhall?"

Qin Rang narrowed his fox-like eyes slightly, frowned, and leaned back in his chair dejectedly, his tone serious. "Oh no, now that you mention it, I suddenly don't quite trust my own judgment anymore."

Tao Yuan teased him, tucking a stray hair behind her ear. "Yeah, you could tell, so it can't be that simple."

The Bai Ao angrily retorted, "What do you mean! What do you mean?!"

Wang Ding brought his glasses closer to his nose and comforted him, "Don't be angry. Although what they said is true, I think what you said makes a lot of sense. Even if Wang isn't the murderer, he's definitely not simple!"

The Bai Ao raised its chin. "Yes!"

Everyone smiled and echoed their agreement.

After resting in the Safe Zone for more than an hour, they decided to split up.

Because Qin Rang was injured and his usable Weird Object were banned, he traveled with Bai Yang and Tao Yuan.

Wang Ding and Bai Ao continued to team up. This honest man could completely suppress Bai Ao's spoiled temper, making them an unexpectedly well-matched pair.

Mi Chuchu and Tang Pin worked together very well.

The three groups started their search from the second, third, and fourth floors respectively, since there was a suspect on the first floor, they decided to wait until he was sound asleep before going there.

"Since there are many of us, let's go to the second floor. There are two Illegitimate Son on the second floor; they'll definitely have more information there." Tao Yuan first secured the most dangerous spot.

"Then let's go to the fourth floor," Wang Ding said.

"We're still on the third floor," Mi Chuchu said. "I'm a little worried about Luo Jiayu; I don't know if she's still in her room. I'll go check on her first."

"We don't know where An Ying and Sheng Qingqiao are either. If we find them, please update the information," Qin Rang said.

"Good."

Qin Rang's gaze swept over everyone. "Two hours from now, no matter what you've found or what has happened, gather back here. If we don't find you back, we'll definitely come looking for you."

"If you encounter any crisis, please leave your information so we can find you quickly."

"Clear."

Bai Yang didn't join them in cheering him on. Instead, he hugged his little Rabbit Plush Toy and walked out of the Safe House first. He looked around and saw that everything was quiet.

"You can come out now, it seems there's no danger anymore," Bai Yang called out.

Qin Rang followed him out, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "It seems that as long as we aren't discovered by them, those strange creatures won't relentlessly chase after us."

"That's good news," Wang Ding said.

"Hurry up, everyone. We don't know where those weirdos are guarding," Qin Rang said.

"Coming right now." Tao Yuan hung the Chainsaw on her waist, strode out of the Safe Zone, and the tattered, Rules hem of her skirt billowed gracefully at her feet.

The three quickly went up to the second floor. The Corridor on the second floor seemed to have no end, with only torches burning quietly along the walls. They didn't see anything strange.

Qin Rang ran down and waved to the others in the hall, indicating that they could go up now.

There are many rooms on the second floor. The right side is where they live, and the left side is where the Illegitimate Son live.

Although it sounds like we live very close, there are so many rooms that it takes several minutes to walk there normally.

The three of them went to An Ying and Sheng Qingqiao's room first, but found it empty.

Where did they go?

The quilts inside the room were not yet folded, remaining exactly as they were before the person left. The red tea poured by the servant was still warm, proving that Sheng Qingqiao was indeed in the room not long ago.

An Ying's room was the same, but it had a window. When the wind blew in, it made the white gauze curtains flutter, and a faint fragrance of flowers drifted in with the wind.

Qin Rang and Tao Yuan searched for anything An Ying had left behind, while Bai Yang glanced at the window, then, drawn by the fragrance of flowers, carried his Doll to the window.

He stared outside for a while, then suddenly turned back and asked, "Do you think they might be outside?"

Tao Yuan put down her book and went to the window to look out. It was pitch black outside, but she could vaguely see the flowers in the Garden swaying in the wind.

"It's not impossible. When we parted, An Ying said she wanted to look for more clues. But why would they go out so late at night?" Tao Yuan muttered to herself.

"Perhaps they've discovered something? An Ying is a sensible person, and there's even less to worry about with Sheng Qingqiao. They should be fine," Qin Rang said.

With that, Qin Rang walked to the door. "Since there's no one in the room, let's look for clues first."

"Good."

Arriving at the long Corridor, Tao Yuan observed the oil paintings on the Corridor. The paintings depicted a banquet scene with clinking glasses and lavish parties, Master appeared extravagant and dazzling.
