Hui Ge looked at the enchanting woman in front of him with narrow eyes, a dangerous gleam in his eyes. He raised the crossbow in his hand slightly, and a dim light flashed by.

“What…” Hela’s two fair hands lowered slightly, and two exquisite spiral-patterned daggers slowly extended out. “You want to fight?”

She felt a sense of threat from the other party, but as a martial artist at the peak of level six, she was completely fearless as long as she didn't meet someone at level seven.

"You must apologize to me."

Huige said in a deep voice.

"What if I don't apologize?"

The corners of Hela's charming eyes turned up, revealing a very playful expression.

"Then..."

Huige moved his fingers and was about to fire the crossbow. Just as the fight was about to begin, he heard a sudden scream from the direction of the haunted house.

ah--

It was the voice of a very young girl, and it actually came from a haunted house.

“Someone went in…” Hela’s expression first showed some confusion after hearing the scream, and then turned embarrassed. “Besides that old monk, there were other girls in? No… That’s not right… Could it be that Weilan got there first? Not good!”

She thought for a moment and had a bad feeling, so she rushed directly to the door of the haunted house without waiting for Morrill to come.

Martial artists are human beings, not gods. If Weilan really gets the crystal and escapes, given the distribution of their forces, it is not certain that he can be caught.

As for why?

Unless it is the royal family that controls the Kingdom of Lier, which individual or organization can search every corner 100%?

What's more, if he leaves the country and escapes back to the Xia Federation, it will be even more out of reach.

“Hey, hey, hey!” Seeing Hela dash into the courtyard in a flash, Huige kept shouting from behind, “Don’t run! Apologize to me first!”

I just want an apology, is it that difficult?

But just as he finished speaking, Hela's figure completely disappeared from his sight, which made him extremely speechless.

"Forget it, it seems that they are all here for the crystal..."

Huige frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then rushed directly into the haunted house.

CRACK——

He did not jump in through the window like Hela did, but instead pushed open the main door and walked in. Unlike what he expected, the door looked luxurious, but when he pushed it, he could not feel any weight at all.

After pushing the door open, what came into view was a somewhat dark hall. A ray of sunlight shone through the crack in the door, allowing him to see the decoration layout inside.

Whether it is the oil paintings or the vases, they are all in a very classical style, and should have been designed by a professional designer. Therefore, as soon as you enter the interior of this house, you will feel an inexplicable elegance and luxury.

Just thinking about such a big house and the fact that no one lives there makes such luxury seem weird.

"Something's wrong here. It's too quiet." Hui Ge frowned, glanced at the surroundings, and touched the wall with his fingers. "And it's too clean."

This house has been empty for almost ten years, but there is not a speck of dust on the ground, and even the ornaments next to it are as new as ever.

Boom.

The moment Huige took a step forward, a slight sound suddenly came from behind him, which made him turn around subconsciously, only to see that the door had closed automatically, and even a ray of sunlight disappeared.

The entire hall suddenly became dark.

Huige reached out and pushed, pushing hard two or three times. The door, which had clearly been weightless before, now seemed to weigh several tons and had no response at all.

"As expected, it's called a haunted house. Is this man-made... or is it really a strange phenomenon?"

He pondered for a few seconds and did not choose to activate his Dan Qi. Instead, he turned around and prepared to explore inside.

As a martial artist, Huige doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world. Even if there are ghosts, they are just people pretending to be ghosts.

ah--

Another scream was heard from inside, still the same girl's voice as before. It sounded nothing special from outside, but in this dark hall, it inexplicably had a bit of eerie and terrifying feeling.

"Humph! Playing tricks."

When Huige heard the scream, he was not surprised but laughed. He gripped the crossbow tightly and walked towards the source of the sound.

As a sixth-level martial artist, there are not many things that can threaten him.

Outside the haunted house, Morrill's extended Phantom gradually stopped beside the road and listened to the information reported by his men.

"Boss, we've spotted three cars nearby: a limited-edition Swiss-French sports car, presumably Miss Hela's, and a van with a foreign license plate whose identity we can't identify," the black-uniformed subordinate whispered. "And an SUV. We've confirmed it's the car Charles drove off..."

Morrill's expression was calm as he asked, "So, that girl Weilan is here too?"

"Yes, according to the footprints we detected, Weilan should have entered the back door from the other side of the path."

The subordinate nodded and whispered.

"Okay, I understand." Morrill nodded, then stood up and got out of the car, ordering: "If I don't come out within three hours, you will set fire to this house."

He had visited this house before, but felt the danger at that time and did not go deeper. But now that Weilan has gone in, there is no reason to let go of this precious thing called the Force Crystal.

What's more, in addition to the Force Crystal, this house has even more valuable things.

"yes."

The seven or eight subordinates beside him bowed and nodded respectfully.

There was a lot of gasoline in the trunk of the car, and as soon as the time specified by the boss came, they would set the whole house on fire.

"Then I'll go in."

Morrill nodded with satisfaction. Since he had left a backup plan, the safety factor was greatly improved. Even if things got worse, he could still escape.

Then he swaggered in, without any sense of vigilance at all.

......

On the other side, Xu Xianxian squatted behind the grove and played with Snake for more than an hour. She stared intently at the screen of her mobile phone. A long snake almost took up the entire screen.

ah--

At this time, another girl's scream came from a house not far away. The little girl didn't even raise her head and continued to play the game seriously.

"You've been yelling more than ten times in an hour, Weilan. Aren't you tired?"

Now is the critical moment, and we are about to break the previous game record. Who has the mood to care about other things?

She knew Weilan's voice and could naturally tell it apart.

Xu Xianxian's eyes sparkled, and her fingers quickly pressed the up, down, left and right keys. Just as she was about to get the last ball, another scream was heard.

ah--!

This scream was different from the previous ones, the previous ones were just a simple scream without any emotion, and felt a bit mechanical, but this time it was filled with a harsh emotion.

That's fear.

But it was no longer Weilan's voice.

"oops!"

Xu Xianxian's hand trembled slightly, and the long snake on the screen immediately ate its own tail.
