I Rely on Kisses to Clear Survival Games

Chapter 7: Midnight Mansion (5

"Creaakk---"

The dim light from the flashlight illuminated the narrow staircase. Cheng Zhi Chu stepped onto the old floorboards and it immediately made a creaking sound that surprised him and made the hand holding the flashlight tremble a little.

There was still some lingering fear inside him after the earlier encounter with the ghost. If he was the only one in this haunted house at this moment, he probably would have been scared crazy.

But fortunately, he wasn't alone. He still had a powerful teammate like Bai Yi.....

As they moved on, he looked at Bai Yi's back and felt reassured. Cheng Zhi Chu gripped tightly onto the flashlight and decided that he would definitely cling onto Bai Yi shamelessly and try be his friend after this instance is over. Yup, with Bai Yi's nice personality, he probably wouldn't reject him...........

He wasn't at all ashamed at this idea of clinging onto his thigh. Conversely, he even started thinking about how he could invite Bai Yi to work together with him, get to know each other and possibly even become fixed instance partners or something after he manages to become his friend.

Although there was still a bit of doubt in his heart; for example, why Bai Yi had used a mineral water bottle to store something as amazing as the holy water, he quickly helped Bai Yi find a reason. Maybe when Bai Yi received the prop, it was already stored in that bottle.

"What do you think the identity of that ghost from earlier was?"

As they walked up the stairs to the second floor, everyone remained silent. Lu Wenjing looked a little nervous and spoke up to try and relieve the tension a little: "Why did it start chasing Cheng Zhi Chu unrelentingly at the beginning?"

"Although I can't prove it, but I think that it might be the mansions second owner, the person who wrote that letter."

Cheng Zhi Chu pondered for a moment and said: "It appeared when we were getting the letter and the key, and I was holding onto both of them so it wouldn't be strange for it to chase after me."

Thinking this, it was obvious that it wasn't the final boss. The final boss would be the ghost that caused Mrs. Mei Jie's death. That ghost was just one of the many victims of this haunted mansion.

As they talked, they reached the second floor and approached an intricately designed door. Lu Wenjing had the ability to interpret the topography and, according to her, it was the door to the main bedroom.

"I'll go in first."

Bai Yi who stood at the front whispered to them first and then tried to twist open the door handle. The door wasn't locked, and it opened with a slight push.

He walked in first and looked around the room with his flashlight. When he confirmed that there wasn't anything unusual, he nodded at the people standing outside and they also walked in.

The room was very spacious, and, like the rest of the house, it was both dark and filled with dust. The wall was decorated with dark red wallpaper and several oil paintings hung from it. A carpet was spread across the floor and a bed with lace canopy along with other wooden furnitures were scattered around the room. A glass light hung from the ceiling reflecting the light from their flashlights and the window was boarded up from the outside leaving no gaps for the moonlight to peek through.

Cheng Zhi Chu once again initiated the "Clue Prompt" skill and this time he saw three lights. Respectively, they came from the dressing table, the bedside and from behind the largest oil painting in the room.

"I saw three clues." Cheng Zhi Chu briefly explained to the others his skill. He then described their locations, "Let's split up and look."

The other had no objections. Lu Wenjing moved to the bedside and Ren Xue chose the dressing table. Wang Jianming followed behind her while smiling happily.
