Chapter 32 Blood Moon Villa

The difference between this instance and the first instance is that Jiang Liyue has a more specific identity in this instance.

In the game's character design, her husband is named Zhou Yulin, and the two fell in love and got married shortly after meeting.

After their marriage, Zhou and Lin revealed that they enjoyed horror adventures and made this trip their wedding gift.

So the two of them came here at the invitation.

Jiang Liyue tilted her head and glanced at the tall man standing next to her.

Zhou Yulin has a pretty face, but her complexion looks a bit pale, as if she is experiencing motion sickness.

She looked somewhat like a frail and delicate young nobleman, and Jiang Liyue seriously suspected that she had only agreed to this absurd honeymoon trip because of her appearance.

[It's here! This dungeon seems to be newly opened; I haven't seen it before.]

[Rank C dungeon, not interesting, gotta go]

Wait, I think I saw my destined wife in this instance! Yueyue is here!

It's been so long since I've seen Yueyue. I've entered two dungeons in a row and haven't run into her.

[With tens of thousands of dungeons running simultaneously, the probability of encountering one is extremely low.]

[Wait, what are you guys talking about? Which player?]

[The previous suggestion was to catch up on the latest "Happiness No. 1 Middle School" episode, which is currently in the top 20 of the trending list.]

The popularity of C-level dungeons has never been comparable to that of the more bloody and exciting high-difficulty dungeons, but Jiang Liyue's appearance suddenly caused a lot more discussion in the live chat.

As the organizer, Lu Zhuokai spoke up at the opportune moment: "These are the people who came this time. Let's all get to know each other first. You should all know me, so I won't waste any more words."

Then there was Hou Wu, who was standing next to him with a camera and filming. He didn't look very tall and had a small braid tied at the back of his head.

Hou Wu is Lu Zhuokai's photographer, and the two often collaborate on adventure videos.

Because they often visit places that are rumored to be haunted in their videos, the videos are very thrilling and exciting, and they have gained many fans on social media platforms.

Lu Zhuokai had informed the observers in advance that they would be filming tonight's adventure.

Next is Ji Lin, the girl Lu Zhuokai is pursuing. She is a great beauty, but she has little expression and is somewhat aloof.

The woman next to her, arm in arm with her best friend, is named Zhang Yuan, and has a barely passable appearance.

Then there's Peng Shan with his muscular physique, Yuan Le wearing glasses, Ma Lulu with her pigtails curiously looking around, and Zhu Ming who is clearly very excited.

They were all holding their phones and taking pictures everywhere, clearly aiming for adventure and to gain followers.

Finally, when it was Jiang Liyue and Zhou Yulin's turn to introduce themselves, everyone's eyes were filled with amazement as they looked at the two of them.

Hou Wu's camera was directly focused on them; in the adventure video, good looks were also a gimmick to attract traffic.

Jiang Liyue felt no discomfort at being watched; she was already used to being in front of the camera.

She smiled and waved to the camera: "I'm Jiang Liyue, and this is my husband, Zhou Yulin. He's not feeling well right now."

"Are you a couple?" Lu Zhuokai asked, feigning curiosity. "You two look quite young."

"When fate brought us together, we got married. We just got married a few days ago." Jiang Liyue pretended not to see the regret in his eyes.

She'd seen too many men like that, chasing after other pretty girls while eyeing new, disgusting, filthy men.

Zhou Yulin, who had been silent until now, raised his eyes and looked in Lu Zhuokai's direction.

Lu Zhuokai had a strange feeling that he was being watched by something terrifying. He shivered involuntarily, but then realized that he was overthinking it.

Having filmed so many haunted house adventures, he has never seen anything truly eerie, so he simply doesn't believe that such creatures really exist in the world.

It's probably too cold up in the mountains tonight.

Lu Zhuokai reassured himself, then smiled slightly and said, "Alright, let's go in and take a look."

"You've all heard the legend of Blood Moon Villa, right? This villa was supposedly built ten years ago, and the first owner and his family of five died suddenly and tragically."

"According to the nanny who escaped, the male head of their household was possessed by a demon, killed everyone, and then committed suicide. A blood moon appeared at that time."

"Later, the people who lived here died one after another. The investigation results showed that the death was exactly the same as that of the original family. The place gradually fell into disrepair. Some people claimed to have seen monsters in the Blood Moon, and the legend of Blood Moon Villa gradually began."

Lu Zhuokai had clearly done his research before coming, and his tone was particularly immersive when he spoke to the camera.

As he finished speaking, he slowly pushed open the iron gate outside the villa, which creaked loudly in the dead of night.

"That's scary." Zhang Yuan shrank her neck and clung tightly to Ji Lin's arm.

It's nine o'clock at night now, and I don't know if it's because we're in the mountains, but the temperature is a bit low, and there's no other sound around except for the sound of their footsteps.

There wasn't even the sound of birds chirping or insects buzzing in the mountains.

Therefore, the sound of the iron gate being pulled open sounded even more jarring and eerie.

Hou Wu chuckled: "What's there to be afraid of? All that stuff about monsters and weird things is just a hoax."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan glared at Hou Wu: "You think you're the bravest? If there's anything really strange, you'll be the first one they eat!"

"Come and find me if you dare," Hou Wu said with a grin.

Jiang Liyue, who had acted in horror movies, looked at Hou Wu upon hearing this and thought to herself, "How foolish! This line would definitely be a flag in a horror movie."

He might be the first cannon fodder to die.

Jiang Liyue withdrew her gaze from him and turned her head to meet Zhou Yulin's gaze as he looked at her.

His face was still very pale, and he looked like a sickly young nobleman.

"Honey, are you alright?" Jiang Liyue called out to him naturally.

Zhou Yulin shook his head and didn't say anything.

However, Jiang Liyue noticed that his pupils were very dark. She rarely saw anyone with such pure black pupils, as if they were devoid of any light.

As far as I can remember, there is only one person with these kinds of eyes.

"Pei Ji." Jiang Liyue called softly, and Zhou Yulin looked at her blankly.

It seems it wasn't him.

Jiang Liyue breathed a sigh of relief.

That's true. If it really is Pei Ji, given how ruthless he was in the last few days after the last instance, he probably would have locked her up and done unspeakable things right away.

Although she enjoyed that kind of thing, her back couldn't take it after doing it too many times.

Zhou Yulin was still quietly watching her, but upon closer inspection, it seemed there was nothing in his eyes.

Jiang Liyue only knew the game's settings for her and didn't know Zhou Yulin's personality or the specific way the couple interacted.

When Rin looked at her last week, she smiled coquettishly and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered someone I knew before."

Fortunately, Zhou Yulin didn't press the matter, but simply looked away silently.

He seemed a bit quiet; would someone with that kind of personality enjoy adventure? A question flashed through Jiang Liyue's mind.

But she was quickly drawn to the scene behind the iron gate and didn't notice anything else—

After she looked away, Zhou Yulin's gaze returned to her with intense intensity.
