There was a knock on the door and the players looked at each other.

"The last person who knocked on the door was President Yue, but this time we are all inside the house. Who could be knocking on the door? Or rather..." Zhuang Yan frowned: "What could it be?"

"I'll go take a look." Lao Liu walked towards the gate.

"I'm going too!" Zhuang Yan hurriedly followed.

Lao Liu opened the peephole, leaned forward to look out, and exclaimed, "Eh?" "Is this peephole broken? Why is it so dark that I can't see anything?"

"Let me see." Zhuang Yan went up to take a look and lowered his voice: "I really can't see anything. Then tell me, can that thing outside hear our voices?"

“Knock, knock, knock!” The knock on the door sounded again. Zhuang Yan was shocked by the door and stepped back: “The knocking is getting louder.”

Lao Liu: "If we don't open the door, we may not be able to trigger the next plot, and all the previous work will be in vain. If there is a ghost outside the door, opening the door is equivalent to letting the ghost in with our own hands, and we will all be in danger."

Open or not? Zhuang Yan had no idea, so he looked at Yue Ya.

Yueya made a pause gesture to him, turned around to look at the photo with the question mark, and found that it had been refreshed!

The photo was taken in the living room, with a wide angle of view, almost covering the entire living room. In the photo, the tall masked man standing by the door stabbed Lao Liu in the chest with a knife. Lao Liu was carried by him, with a large pool of blood under his feet. Other players were scattered around the living room, watching this scene with horror on their faces.

Yueya looked carefully at the door in the photo and found that the door lock was broken.

"The photo has been updated," Yue Ya said quickly, "Now it's not a question of 'opening the door or not'. Judging from the content of the photo, we have no choice at all. The masked murderer is about to break in and stab Lao Liu with a knife."

“???” Lao Liu quickly stepped back: “I’m leaving now! You guys stay away too!”

"Stay away?" Yue Ya raised the corner of his lips: "The murderer came to our door, of course we have to 'treat' him well, but this door cannot be opened by us."

Yueya brought Feifei to the door. He waved his hand and spread the hunting net on the door and the wall.

Lao Liu was stunned: "You are the first one who rushed forward after seeing a ghost."

"Thank you."

Lao Liu: “…” I don’t think I praised him, but okay, I can praise him a little.

With a "bang", the door lock suddenly broke, the door was pushed open, and a masked strong man rushed in with a grim smile -

From Yue Ya's perspective, this scene was the prey hitting the net. Without any manipulation on his part, the hunting net had already tightened, firmly grasping the prey.

The masked sturdy man was forced to huddle into a ball, and in panic, the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

"What's going on?! Let me go!" According to the script, the masked burly man should be stabbing people wildly with a knife instead of being tied up in a torn net.

He was confused and angry, and struggled frantically, but the hunting net not only did not break, but it became tighter and tighter, cutting him so hard that his whole body was in pain. He was forced to reveal his ghost form - a headless ghost covered in blood mist.

"Meow~" There's food!

Feifei, who smelled the evil energy, jumped to the side of the hunting net and bit the evil ghost through the gap. The blood mist rushed towards Feifei frantically, and the evil ghost gradually shriveled up, leaving only a box with a lock on it.

"Meow—" Not full meow. Feifei floated up into the air and got into Yueya's hat.

"The cat, the cat ate the ghost?" Lao Liu made an unworldly sound.

"Is it a soul-devouring beast? It's so small but it can eat so much..." Hongmei held her face in her hands: "It's even cuter!"

Yueya nodded and looked at Yunyu: "Key."

Yunyu had already prepared the key and handed it to him immediately.

This is what Yunyu found in the coffee table cabinet. Maybe it can open this lock.

"Dong--" Zhuang Yan knelt on the ground without warning, and his hand reached out to the box in the hunting net uncontrollably. Zhuang Yan seemed to be struggling with something, and the veins on his neck bulged: "Boss Yue, take the box away quickly!"

Yue Ya waved his hand, and the hunting net with the box fell into his hands.

Zhuang Yan gritted his teeth and said, "It's this coat that's causing trouble."

Cool liquid seeped out of the coat and stained Zhuang Yan's body. He smelled an indescribable stench. He looked down and found that the coat had turned into a layer of human skin! The blood soaked his original clothes and was still seeping into his skin!

A low and crazy voice sounded in my ears: "I want to hold you tight, I want to merge with you, let us become a real family..."

The skin tightened, and Zhuang Yan really felt like he was being hugged tightly. He felt cold all over and felt so sick that he wanted to vomit: "Who the hell wants to be a family member with a pervert like you!"

A knife emerged from Zhuang Yan's palm and cut towards the human skin, but his hand was forced to change direction in the middle and stabbed towards his own eyes!

Zhuang Yan's eyes widened, and he immediately used his mind to open a fire curtain to block the blade! At the same time, a hand wearing a black glove grasped Zhuang Yan's wrist, and with just a light blow, the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

——Feng Feng appeared in front of Zhuang Yan in time and held his out-of-control hand.

Zhuang Yan put away the fire curtain and saw Feng Feng's paper-like face: "We are both ghosts, but Feng Feng you are much cuter."

Fengfeng curled his eyes in pleasure. If he had a tail, he would probably be swinging it now.

Fengfeng asked Yueya: "Master, what should we do next?"

Yue Ya glanced at the disgusting layer of human skin and said, "Do it."

"Okay, master." Fengfeng's lips also curved up.

The human-skin ghost felt that the person coming was not a good person, but he was reluctant to give up the fat meat in his mouth, so he plucked up his courage and did not run away, but accelerated to devour Zhuang Yan's body.

Zhuang Yan was squeezed so hard that he spit out a mouthful of blood. He was also angry: "You want to merge with me, right? Fine! Let's see if you can swallow it!"

Zhuang Yan's whole body was covered in flames, and the human-skin ghost was forced to slow down the speed at which it devoured the body.

Feng Feng took off his gloves: "Mr. Zhuang, I'm going to take action, get ready."

Zhuang Yan nodded: "Come on."

The sticky human skin was burned by the flames and gave off an unpleasant burnt smell. The temperature was very high, but Feng Feng didn't care. He grabbed the human skin with his bare hands and pulled it off Zhuang Yan.

Feng Feng twisted her fingers, and the human skin turned to ashes.

"Master, there is no soul on human skin, just a wisp of Yin energy."

Zhuang Yan was a little skeptical about life: "Just a wisp of Yin Qi, can it have such a domineering power?"

It turns out it's just a little bit of negative energy, no wonder Feifei is not interested.

"What about those?" Lao Liu pointed at the clothes rack, his Adam's apple moving restlessly: "Are they also just a wisp of Yin Qi?"

The originally soft sofa turned into a bloody sofa made of human skin, the coats hanging on the clothes hanger turned into pieces of human skin, and the hats turned into bloody human heads.

Yue Ya: "A warm family, a warm head." Can you report the copy fraud?

"Isn't it just Wen Xin's head? There are so many heads..." Zhuang Yan suddenly discovered something very scary. He pointed at the clothes rack and said, "Damn, the face of that head looks just like me!"

If the blood hadn't blocked part of the facial features, he wouldn't have recognized it now.

It's really scary to see your head hanging on a hanger!

Lao Liu pointed to another head and said, "That's my head!"

Yun Yu: "There are four heads in total, and they look exactly like the four of us adults, except for Yue Ya."

As soon as he finished speaking, the four heads turned to them at the same time, with twisted smiles on their bloody faces.

Several human skins were squirming along the floor, rushing towards Yue Ya quickly!

Zhuang Yan: "They want to steal the box!"

Fengfeng stood in front of Yueya and took off both gloves.

The players quickly surrounded Yueya and created a temporary safe zone for him.

"Boss Yue, open the box and get the stuff first!"

"Okay." Yue Ya used the key that Yun Yu found to unlock the box and successfully opened it. There was only a diary inside.

Yueya opened the diary and saw Xiaoming's handwriting.

"They all died, leaving me alone. When I opened the door that night, I saw bloody bodies all over the floor... I will never forget the cold and stiff feeling. If I hadn't gone to my classmate's house that night, if I had been at home that night... would everything be different? Maybe they wouldn't have died, maybe I would have died with them, anyway, it would be better than now."

Yueya turned to the second page.

"The murderer got away. He had his face covered, so the surveillance camera couldn't capture his face. The police speculated that it was an acquaintance, but I never heard that my family had any conflicts with anyone recently... They are so kind and gentle. I want revenge, no matter how many years it takes, even if it takes my whole life, I will kill that scumbag!"

Yue Ya turns the page again, and Xiao Ming's hatred becomes stronger and stronger. Every day he only thinks about how to find the murderer. He can't continue to go to school, and he can't go back to his previous ordinary life. He refuses to meet with his old friends and gradually becomes neurotic.

One day, he went out to look for clues all over the world as usual. At night, he dragged his tired body back home and suddenly found that his family members were back again.

"I saw my parents, grandparents. They were watching TV in the living room, my father was working in the study, and my mother was cooking... Everything was back to the way it was before. I know they might be ghosts, but I don't care. As long as they can come back, no matter what form they take, as long as they can be with me, I'm no longer alone."

"With the help of my family, I finally killed the murderer. My mission has been accomplished. I decided to stay with my family forever in the form of a ghost."

This is the last page of the diary.

After Xiao Ming succeeded in his revenge, he ended his own life.

But Yueya felt that the contents of this diary were not entirely true. For example, Xiao Ming said that he saw the ghosts of his family members at home, but the human-skin ghost in this house was just a wisp of negative energy and had no soul at all.

These human-skin ghosts were not difficult for Fengfeng to deal with, and he quickly solved them.

Zhuang Yan returned to Yue Ya and said, "The box contains key fragments or treasures. Those human-skinned ghosts risked their lives to get them back. Alas, they didn't have lives to begin with."

Yue Ya handed him the diary: "Neither, just a diary."

Zhuang Yan flipped through the pages quickly and said, "Strange, there's nothing secret about it. Why would they want to snatch such a crappy diary?"

"Yes, there is no need for them to snatch a diary without secrets, so..." Yue Ya suddenly thought of the answer.

"so?"

"It's this box they're after."

Yue Ya checked the box inch by inch, and finally found a tiny mechanism: "Found it."

There was a slight sound of a mechanism operating, and a small secret layer appeared in the box, inside which was a silver incomplete key and a piece of paper.

"Your brain works really fast," Hongmei looked at Lao Liu, "Are all the other players like this?"

Lao Liu wanted to remain silent.

Zhuang Yan rubbed his hands excitedly: "There really is a key fragment! We won the prize!"

Yun Yu: "Lucky, what's written on the note?"

Yue Ya recited: "If you deceive yourself for too long, you will take the lies that comforted you as the truth. Only by exposing his lies can you destroy the cocoon of lies."
