Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: Delicate Couple’s Night Exploration of the Forbidden Area of Longjun Villa

Huo Yunjiao leaned lazily against the headboard, arms embracing Qin Ruan, gently patting her back to coax her back to sleep.

Just then, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

The room plunged into darkness.

Rapid footsteps came from outside the door.

"Thud thud—"

A soft knocking sound arose.

Huo Zhi’s voice came from outside the door, "Master, the power is out."

Huo Yunjiao responded calmly, "I know."

Lying in his embrace, the uneasy Qin Ruan frowned and muttered, "It’s so noisy."

Huo Yunjiao rhythmically patted her back, soothing her softly, "Good, no one will disturb you now, go back to sleep."

Qin Ruan murmured tiredly and fell back asleep.

Unfortunately, this night was destined to be a restless one for everyone.

Huo Zhi stood guard outside, intense arguments coming from downstairs, all from guests staying at Longjun Manor.

"Why did the power go out?"

"What’s going on here?"

"When will the power be restored? Your conditions here are really poor!"

"I was halfway through my shower when the water stopped, I’m all covered in foam, bring me a bucket of water!"

The staff at Longjun Manor, soothing these irritable guests, said, "I’m very sorry, there’s a heavy storm outside causing issues with the wiring, and our staff is already fixing it."

The guest was relentless, "How long approximately until it’s fixed? There must be a time, right?"

"Exactly, no electricity, no water, how are we supposed to manage tonight?"

The incredibly patient staff member responded, "I’m sorry, I’m not quite sure yet, but we are trying to restore power as soon as possible."

Hearing the noisy disturbances from downstairs, Huo Zhi standing outside the door furrowed his brows tightly.

Such noise could, definitely, disturb the master and Madam.

If only he had known when they were checking in, he would have cleared the area in Longjun Manor to avoid such commotion.

Qin Ruan, lying in San Ye’s embrace, was woken by the noise from downstairs.

In the darkness, she opened her gleaming black eyes and listened quietly to the arguments below.

With her head resting on San Ye’s abdomen, she lazily asked, "Why did the power go out?"

Huo Yunjiao gently stroked her hair, replying warmly, "It is raining, there was a problem with the mountain’s electrical circuit, we are already fixing it."

Qin Ruan sighed softly, "It’s so noisy, I can’t sleep."

Huo Yunjiao bent over, came close to Qin Ruan’s cheek, and gently kissed her, whispering softly, "Good girl, it’ll be fine once the power is back."

In the darkness, the two held each other tightly, inseparable.

This intimate atmosphere suited some unspeakable deeds.

"Ahhh!!!"

"There’s been a death!!!"

Suddenly, a terrified scream came from downstairs, breaking the intimate moment between the couple.

Qin Ruan rose from San Ye’s warm embrace, her keen eyes fixed on the door.

She picked up a coat next to her, draped it over herself, and got out of bed, "I’m going out to take a look."

"Together!"

Huo Yunjiao also got up, turned on his phone’s flashlight, and, wrapping an arm around Qin Ruan’s shoulder, headed towards the door.

"Boom!"

Outside, thunder roared and rain fell heavily, the first floor of Longjun Manor was crowded with people.

"Wuu wuu wuu...I want to go home."

"It’s horrifying, that person died so terribly!"}

"This person was just standing beside me a moment ago, how could they suddenly have died?"

"Look, his arms and legs are separated, his head is off, this definitely isn’t human work!"

"Could it be another criminal with a murderous record?"

"Who knows, but it’s very likely, the people who die at Wenshi Mountain Peak are never innocent."

Qin Ruan stood upstairs, her position giving her a clear view of the scene below.

She could also distinctly hear the wailing and other people’s opinions and disputes in the hall.

Members of the Tianxing Team had already surrounded the corner of the first-floor hall, faintly permeated with the smell of blood.

Qin Ruan vaguely saw that there, a body had been cut into several pieces, under the hall’s emergency light, the vast expanse of fresh blood looked sinister and eerie.

Huo Qiang, leading his men, guarded the main entrance rigidly, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.

One of the middle-aged women, holding a child, was yelling at him, "What right do you have to keep us here, this is illegal imprisonment!"

Huo Qiang, with calm authority, replied, "I’m sorry, madam, a murder has occurred here, everyone present is a suspect, and you must wait for an investigation before leaving."

"Nonsense! Who are you to stop us, I want to leave today, let’s see what you can do to me!"

The woman, pulling her child, tried to rush out.

Huo Qiang stepped forward to block the way, and his subordinates also stepped forward, not yielding an inch against the middle-aged woman’s assertiveness.

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder erupted outside, causing the woman and child to tremble in fear.

"Mommy, I’m so scared, wuu wuu wuu..."

Seeing the child’s pale face, Huo Qiang’s voice softened with emotion, "It’s raining heavily outside; taking the child down the mountain now would be dangerous. It won’t be too late to leave after dawn."

The middle-aged woman showed hesitation on her face, and thinking it over, she agreed. However, recalling Huo Qiang’s previous attitude, she glared bitterly at him before pulling the child back into the crowd.

Qin Ruan quickly scanned the people in the hall, not counting the members of the Tianxing Team and the Hidden Guards of the Huo Family, there were about twenty or thirty people, including men, women, and a few children.

Under the emergency lighting, these people’s faces were pale with fear; some were excited, their eyes gleaming as they stared at the murder scene surrounded by the Tianxing Team.

Cai Yongliang conducted a brief inspection of the deceased and concluded that it was another paranormal case.

The victim wasn’t killed by human means.

He removed his blood-stained gloves and looked up to see Qin Ruan and Huo San standing upstairs.

Cai Yongliang threw his gloves aside, pushed through the circle of Tianxing Team members, and hurried towards them.

Qin Ruan, with her hands on the rail, looked at the approaching Cai Yongliang and asked, "Cai Chu, what have you found?"

Cai Yongliang spoke seriously, "The victim’s arms and legs were neatly severed, and the head was cut off too. The cuts are neat, without the slightest hesitation. The victim’s internal organs have also disappeared, but there are no injuries on his abdomen."

Qin Ruan glanced towards the chaotic first floor, her melodious voice indifferent, "None of the people downstairs are the killer. Let them return to their rooms. I want to examine the body myself."

The people downstairs weren’t excessively malevolent, but their emotions were tense; Qin Ruan preferred to avoid trouble.

Cai Yongliang instinctively looked at the third master standing behind Qin Ruan, who nodded slightly, and he then said, "Alright, I’ll go handle it."

"Thud!"

"Thud! Thud!"

Just as Cai Yongliang was descending the stairs, thumping sounds suddenly emerged from within Longjun Villa.

The already panicked crowd plunged into further unease.

"What is that sound?"

"It seems to be coming from underground!"

The crowd dispersed with a swoosh, each person sticking to corners or walls, staring in terror at the green-tiled floor beneath their feet.

Qin Ruan too heard the strange sounds from below, her calm eyes fixated on the floor, her beautiful face icy.

As the weird sounds emerged, the downstairs hall was filled with an evil Qi, invisible to the naked eye.

Standing next to Qin Ruan, Huo Yunjiao also began to look solemn.

The approaching Evil Qi carried a familiar fierceness and aggressive aura.

"Thud! Thud! Thud—"

The sounds grew more urgent, as if something in the center of the earth was forcefully striking the ground.

"Boom!"

A deafening thunderclap sounded again outside.

The timid ones in the hall wailed aloud.

"Ah—"

"I want to go home! This place is too scary!"

"Has someone called the police? Why haven’t they arrived yet?!"

As Cai Yongliang descended the stairs, he faced the crowd and shouted, "I am Cai Yongliang, the officer in charge of this case, with the Tianxing Team. The first floor of Longjun Villa is the crime scene. Please return to your rooms and do not interfere with our investigation. Thank you for your cooperation."

"Since you’re investigating, have you found who the killer is?"

"When can we leave this place?"

"Is the killer still hiding in this building? If something happens to us while going upstairs, who is responsible?"

"I’ve never heard of the Tianxing Team. Which department are you with? Do you have any proof?"

Faced with the crowd’s questions, Cai Yongliang pulled out his ID, held it high, and declared, "I am the main person in charge of the Wenshi Mountain Peak case; please cooperate."

He signaled the waiting members of the Tianxing Team, who stepped forward assertively, escorting all guests upstairs.

Upstairs, Qin Ruan and Huo Yunjiao had already disappeared, following the sounds to the basement of Longjun Villa.

On the way, Huo Yunjiao shared with her information that Lin Hao had extracted from a servant of Longjun Villa.

Qin Ruan, gripping the third master’s sleeve, followed his steps closely.

Hearing the rumors about the forbidden area of Longjun Villa, she couldn’t help but ask, "Why does the basement always respond whenever a murder occurs here? Could it be the killer?"

It seemed that these two things were inevitably connected.

Walking ahead, Huo Yunjiao responded in a low voice, "Not sure, but this place is indeed strange."

Curious, Qin Ruan asked, "How is it strange?"

Huo Yunjiao, touching the Buddha Beads on his wrist, answered with a somewhat cold tone, "This place feels very ominous to me—gloomy, cold, with an indescribable chill. It doesn’t feel like a place for people to live."

Qin Ruan glared at him, "So that’s why you had me drink the medicinal soup?"

Huo Yunjiao stopped, his voice heavy, "We’re here."

In front of them was a worn wooden door painted with a large red prohibition sign.

The bright red characters looked eerie to the eye.
