After a short while, a slight sound of the door opening came from behind.

Li Yu turned around and saw a pretty young girl wearing blue jeans and a light blue top walking out of Zhao Yue's room.

Li Yu's eyes widened immediately, her face full of confusion.

He remembered clearly that Zhao Yue was the only person in the room just now, so how could there suddenly be a strange girl?

Just as Li Yu was in a daze, the girl in the light blue dress suddenly spoke to Li Yu:

"Let's go." The voice was clear and pleasant.

Seeing that Li Yu still looked puzzled, the girl suddenly remembered something and quickly waved her hand to explain:

"Oh dear, look at my memory, I am Zhao Yue."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu was stunned and stared incredulously at the petite and delicate girl in front of her.

It's not just the clothes that have changed; even the figure, appearance, and voice have all changed.

Judging from her size, the girl in front of her was almost the same size as Li Linglong, but much smaller than Zhao Yue from before.

This isn't just a disguise; it's like he's a completely different person!

“It really is me!” the girl in light blue said, taking out the letter from Zhao Deyang that she had just received.

Upon seeing the familiar envelope, Li Yu was finally certain that the shrunken girl was Zhao Yue from earlier.

He slowly nodded, indicating his approval of Zhao Yue's identity and disguise skills, and said:

"Let's go now, should we say goodbye...?"

As Li Yu spoke, she glanced at the lively crowd inside the villa, then suddenly stopped talking as if she realized something.

He then realized that since Zhao Yue's appearance had changed so much, there was no need for her to say goodbye to anyone else.

"No need," Zhao Yue shook her head as expected.

It was only at this point that Li Yu belatedly noticed.

Although the group of young men and women in the villa were ostensibly there to celebrate Zhao Yue's birthday, they were actually just using it as an excuse to get together and have fun.

So much so that they didn't care where Zhao Yue herself was on her birthday, but instead all their attention was focused on Miss Su.

But then Li Yu thought about it again and realized it wasn't a bad idea.

This saves a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Come with me." Zhao Yue led Li Yu toward the back door of the villa.

Li Yu followed the shrunken Zhao Yue out of the back door of the villa.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yu came out, she saw Lin Han and the other person still busy roasting lamb legs in the backyard.

Lin Han was seen holding a fan and fanning the charcoal fire continuously.

Uncle Lin was flipping the lamb leg over, though he told Lin Han not to use too much force.

Lin Han seemed to have been secretly watching the movements at the back door. When he saw Li Yu push the door open and come out, he immediately greeted her with a smile:

"He's out, Li Yu."

Uncle Lin also stopped what he was doing, looked up at Li Yu:

"Would the guests inside like more lamb legs?"

Li Yu stepped forward and replied, "No need, everyone inside is full, there's no need for roasted lamb leg."

"Did they say how it tastes? This is my specialty, roasted lamb leg!" Uncle Lin said confidently.

Seeing Uncle Lin's earnest questioning look, and recalling the scene at the villa, Li Yu didn't dare tell them that she had fed the lamb leg to the pets. She simply smiled and replied:

"Everyone says it tastes amazing."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Lin breathed a long sigh of relief, then wiped his sweat and began to complain:

"Finally, I'm full. I thought these people were a bottomless pit."

Uncle Lin was already unbearably hot, so he quickly opened a bottle of mineral water and gulped down a big mouthful.

At this moment, Li Yu continued, "Uncle Lin, Lin Han, I'm about to leave."

Although it was just a misunderstanding, Lin Han and the other man were indeed very warm towards him. Now that the mission was completed, it was time for him to say goodbye to them.

"Leave?" Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Uncle Lin and Lin Han simultaneously raised their heads again, their gazes falling on Zhao Yue beside Li Yu.

Especially Uncle Lin, whose experienced eyes immediately saw through the clues and understood what was going on.

Uncle Lin then smiled slightly, revealing a meaningful expression, and jokingly said:

"Go ahead, go ahead, being young is great."

Lin Han, on the other hand, stood there dumbfounded, grinning and chuckling along with him.

"What are you laughing at? If you were half as smart as him, you wouldn't have ended up in this mess."

Uncle Lin, exasperated, slapped Lin Han hard, but given Lin Han's physique and status as an Awakened One, such a small amount of force had no effect on him.

After saying goodbye to Lin Han and the other man, Zhao Yue led Li Yu to the wall behind the villa.

To Li Yu's surprise, there was actually a hidden door here.

Zhao Yue skillfully took out the key, opened the small door, and the two left the villa smoothly.

After leaving the house, Li Yu did not hesitate at all and led Zhao Yue straight towards the transition area.

He thought to himself that once he successfully reunited with the team, he could immediately leave Wucheng with Zhao Yue.

After all, even the daughter of a general from Zhongzhou chose to flee this place, and was even willing to abandon such a luxurious villa. It seems that Wucheng is no longer safe.

Just as Li Yu was focused on getting on his way.

"Thump—!"

A deep, muffled bell rang out not far ahead, and Li Yu looked in the direction from which the sound came from, puzzled.

A strange building came into view.

The moment I saw the building, a strange feeling surged into my heart, a feeling that was extremely similar to that of a ghost.

“It’s a church,” Zhao Yue said softly, looking at the white building in the distance.

"A church?" Li Yu narrowed her eyes and examined it carefully.

The church's soaring spires gave it an eerie appearance, and the stained glass windows reflected images of weeping angels.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Zhao Yue noticed Li Yu's unusual behavior and asked in a low voice.

Li Yu frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the church; there seemed to be a strange atmosphere around it, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Just then, Li Yu's right eye suddenly hurt and turned pitch black, and he automatically entered the triple soul-devouring state.

When Li Yu looked at the church again through his right eye, the sight before him made him gasp.

The church walls were covered with countless blurry shadows; upon closer inspection, they turned out to be countless unformed ghosts dwelling on the church.

He could even hear the choir children singing!

Li Yu's eyes widened as the shadowy ghosts became clearer and clearer, eventually revealing distorted and deformed faces, each one filled with endless resentment.

He felt countless cold eyes watching them from all directions, and the feeling of being watched was like thorns in his back, impossible to shake off.

With so many ghosts wandering around, no wonder this church exudes such a sinister atmosphere.

The Nightmare Beast's unusually serious voice suddenly rang in Li Yu's mind:

"Li Yu, this place isn't right!"
