Chapter 209 - As if he was greedy for more closeness (2)

Lu Xingchi had completely sealed off the entrances into the house yesterday.. There was no way someone could have silently entered the house. And yet, the gaming chips had disappeared from the coffee table.

Bei Nuan had the good habit of putting things into her pocket space once they were done using them. Thus, there was nothing to eat in the kitchen last night. The only edible things were the gaming chips that she had forgotten about.

For the gaming chips to disappear into thin air, someone must have taken them, mostly like to eat them.

Bei Nuan shuddered. In other words, after everyone had fallen asleep last night, there was someone creeping around in the house. If they couldn't find the hidden person, she wouldn't be able to fall asleep tonight. The idea was too scary.

She could hear Lu Xingchi opening and closing doors in the hallway and moving furniture around as well as the fainter sounds of opening and closing closet doors from upstairs.

Could this house have secret rooms or passageways? It was such a big house. It would be a waste to not have a hidden room.

Wasn't that how it went in stories? The owner of the house would have a secret room and passages added to the house when it was built as a safety measure.

There were zombies everywhere; it was a good time to hide.

However, based on the signs of fighting in the house and the open front door, she didn't think the owner of the house was still here. Something must have happened to the owner. So if it wasn't the owner, the hidden person was probably an uninvited guest like them.

Du Ruo walked around the living room and checked every nook. "Do you think there are zombies hidden in this house?"

Bei Nuan shook her head. "No way. It has to be a person. Zombies wouldn't eat cassava chips."

Du Ruo bickered with her, "How do you know zombies won't eat cassava chips?"

Bei Nuan answered, "They're not even interested in beef jerky. How can they like cassava chips?"

Du Ruo continued to play devil's advocate. "How do you know they don't like beef jerky?"

Bei Nuan thought of how she was forced to go feed zombies a few days ago and felt a burst of sadness. "Believe me. Your subjects aren't interested in beef jerky. I tried to feed them that a few days ago."

Even Jiang Fei was curious. He stroked his dagger and asked, "Was it when you were cage fighting zombies? Why did you want to feed them beef jerky?"

Bei Nuan was disheartened that she couldn't say the real reason. "Oh, no reason, I was bored." Don't ask anymore, or I'll have to dig a hole to bury myself.

Lu Xingchi stayed upstairs for a long time. He turned the place upside down as he meticulously checked the second floor, but he didn't find anyone or a secret passage. He also checked the first floor, the basement, and the garage again. He found nothing.

Jiang Fei was in disbelief and carefully searched the house too. He didn't find anything either.

Lu Xingchi and Jiang Fei were the two most meticulous members of the team. If they couldn't find anything, it would be a waste of effort for the others to search.

Tang Tang seriously analyzed, "In a house where the entrances and windows have been sealed off, something disappeared from the table, and no one can be found, then it can only point to one thing…"

He had everyone's attention.

"... the house is haunted."

Jiang Fei smacked the back of Tang Tang's head. "Stop saying nonsense. You'll scare Bei Nuan."

Tang Tang disagreed. "Scare Bei Nuan? Yeah right. She's like a final boss. If a ghost appears, she'll slap it to death."

Everyone looked at Bei Nuan's small hand.

Later that day, as night fell, it began to rain. The sound of the rain grew increasingly loud. It didn't seem like it would stop anytime soon.

By the time they finished dinner, it was pouring outside. From the peephole, it was pitch-black. Nothing could be seen.

The rain was too heavy. It definitely wouldn't be easy to drive in this weather. Even though Bei Nuan had already recovered to normal, Lu Xingchi still decided to stay one more night.

After Bei Nuan returned to her room, she deeply realized that she wasn't anywhere close to a final boss. Only a small lamp in the room was on, and the furniture cast strangely shaped shadows from the dim lighting.

The guys had given Bei Nuan preferential treatment by giving her the master bedroom. It was so big that a group of people could do aerobics, but the size of the room wasn't a good thing on a gloomy night, especially now.

There was something hidden in this house that could steal food. Was the culprit a human or a ghost? The culprit might be looking at her through a one-way mirror or a hole in the painting. That's how it went in movies.

Bei Nuan dragged a chair over, stepped on it, and took down the paintings on the wall. She didn't find any holes for peeping. She covered the mirror above the sink with a blanket.

And yet, she still felt uneasy. This was way scarier than zombies. Zombies were big fools that bared their teeth. It was so easy to kill them. It was way scarier when she didn't know what she was dealing with.

This world had zombies and supernatural abilities, so there could also be surreal creatures she didn't know about.
