The underlying threat in the unspoken words was palpable to anyone.

Gu Xing and Bugui immediately felt a surge of hostility and adopted a defensive stance.

"Don't get agitated." Yan Li stretched out his arm, whether to stop them or to stop the threat from the Doctor was unclear.

"It was too dark around here just now, I really couldn't see anything." He blatantly lied, moving freely in the darkness, to clarify his position, "Whatever you do is fine, since the guide found out, it's none of anyone else's business."

The Doctor then looked away and smiled at Yu Xing, "See, everything will be alright."

The words had barely left her lips when a hand pushed open the dusty door to the private room. Medusa's beautiful face remained exquisite, but her expression was indescribable. "So this is why my clues were destroyed before I even got halfway through?"

Behind her, Silver Sparrow and the fortune teller known as Hanging Ghost followed closely behind, clearly having gathered together because of the recent upheaval.

For some unknown reason, the vengeful corpses on the Fallen Path have not appeared.

He may already be dead.

The illusion of the Never Forget Dwelling had been shattered, and the eerie, chilling atmosphere was gone, leaving only bloodstains and cobwebs abandoned by time. Medusa disgustedly wiped the dust off her fingers with the handkerchief she always carried and walked over.

"Doctor, no wonder when I tried to visit the hospital during the day, I felt a repulsive force preventing me from entering." She glanced at the man in the white coat, understanding dawning on her. "So it was you who didn't want me to come in."

"I'm sorry, this young lady is perfectly healthy and doesn't need to suffer in the hospital," the Doctor said meaningfully. "Besides, my hospital doesn't really welcome small animals, like snakes or anything like that."

Medusa: "... Ha, I didn't really want to go in and take a look. Now that you're out, I'm even more certain that the secret I'm looking for isn't in the hospital."

"By the way, where's the rift?" Gu Xing looked at everyone reuniting, but one person was missing besides the vengeful corpse.

"He ran away." Hua Subai shrugged. "He ran away when he was attacked by the paper doll. He's quite skilled at creating spatial rifts, but he was still a bit impulsive."

If it's simply about escaping a certain space, many of the participants in this event could do that.

Rift is the best of them all. As you can tell from the Persona Mask, he is most skilled in spatial power. He often uses spatial rifts to escape far away after causing trouble. Most of the people who have experienced the same deduction Yugi with Rift do not have a good impression of him.

Its abilities are good, but its mind is a little weak. After realizing the strength and attack intentions of the paper effigy and ceramic head, Rift took advantage of the time when these ghostly things were entangled with Hua Subai to tear open space and escape.

Just like his reckless provocation of the red-clad ghost mask, this time he left without hesitation, perfectly avoiding all attacks. But precisely because of this, he had no intention of returning to the Never Forget Dwelling.

If the system still can't detect this violation, then it's probably doing charity.

"Phew... Alright, since we're all here, let's share the information we're willing to share." Medusa rubbed her temples in annoyance. "The old stories from the private room were a great opportunity to understand what happened in the past, but now that's all gone."

She gave the Doctor a slight glare with her beautiful eyes. "Unexpected events are delightful, but sometimes they're not so pleasant."

The Doctor smiled, seemingly unaware of the consequences he had caused.

Next, the group consolidated the intelligence.

Since they were in three different spaces, no one could be sure what the others had received. Even the patterns in the room's questions and notes were just their own assumptions and hadn't been verified yet.

Therefore, no one held anything back during this exchange.

In summary, all the information in the private room was indeed related to the Fang Mansion, while Medusa and her group found information about Fang Xiao, the eldest son of the Fang family, and the nanny, Li.

Fang Xiao started going to patrol the docks with his father from a young age, and learned to deal with all sorts of people early on. He was being groomed by his grandfather as his successor.

Having witnessed the cruelty of gangs on the docks since childhood, he appears shrewd and capable on the surface, but in reality, he has been a pervert since childhood, with ruthless methods.

Fang Xiao and the Fang family did not get along well. Perhaps he disliked his younger brother, and he always took his brother's things. Under Fang Xiao's bullying, the Fang family became more and more withdrawn and taciturn. He was described as "gloomy" by outsiders who did not know the truth, while Fang Xiao, who always bullied his younger brother, was always praised.

Later, Fang Xiao, now grown up, took over the dock and met a woman who came to town for tourism. He fell in love at first sight, so he pretended to be a charming young man to win her heart, and they eventually got married.

The story seems unremarkable, Medusa stated that even the nanny's story was more interesting than Fang Xiao's.

Nanny Li had been working for the Fang family for a long time. When she entered the Fang Mansion, the eldest young master was only a few years old. The nanny not only helped with housework, but also managed the family's shopping and tutored the young master in his studies.

It could be said that Li, the nanny, was like a housekeeper in the Fang Mansion, witnessing the changes in the Fang Mansion and keeping an eye on everything that happened.

One day, she was kicked out of the room by the young master Fang, who cried and hit her. When others asked, they learned that the young master had discovered that the nanny had been spying on him.

Every night when all was quiet, the nanny would stand outside the window of the Fang family's two children, staring intently inside. She would watch them while they slept, while they bathed, and even as they came in and out of the house.

Her eyes were murky like a pool of dirty water, her gaze like a maggot clinging to a bone, omnipresent.

But this is only the child's side of the story. Nanny Li had worked for the Fang family for many years, and even Fang Deming treated her very kindly. When this happened, she was only scolded and was not punished at all.

After that, she became even more unscrupulous, and as if in revenge, she stopped looking at the eldest young master, Fang Xiao, and only looked at the young master. The existence of the nanny, Li, almost became the young master's nightmare.

"It sounds like the entire Fang Mansion is no good, and the only one we can't find suspicious about is the young master Fang," Gu Xing analyzed. "From what we hear in the town, this young master left Nanshui Town many years ago. Could it be that he hates the Fang Mansion and has secretly returned to take revenge?"

Yan Li glanced at Yu Xing silently.

Although Yu Xing didn't say it explicitly, the noodle stall owner had personally confirmed that he knew Yu Xing during the day, which made people suspicious.

He began, "This young master isn't without his suspicious points either."

Yu Xing raised an eyebrow and looked back.

Yan Li said coldly, "The information I found belongs to the young master."
