When Fox Eyes finally reached the end of the stairs, he took a breath nervously and pushed the door open. The door was very heavy, as if it were made of iron. With a creak, the door opened.

What came into view was a spacious and dark hall, with four people sitting upright inside. They sat on chairs whose material could not be seen clearly, and stared at the door with expressionless faces, like four silent sculptures.

Apart from these four people, the room was empty except for the faint fluorescence emitted from their bodies. In this dark space, a strange human-shaped fluorescence appeared, slightly illuminating their faces and making them look like creatures from another world.

Fox Eyes smiled faintly, a sly glint in his eyes. He reached out and gently pressed a switch hidden in the wall. With his movement, the entire room was instantly bathed in bright light. The sudden illumination made the four figures even more distinct, their faces remaining expressionless, as if frozen in time.

"I know you're here." He deliberately stretched out his voice, with a hint of teasing and provocation. His eyes scanned the surroundings, as if searching for the person hiding in the shadows.

After a while, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness. She was dressed in a plain white dress, as pure as a lily, completely out of place. It was Fang Ruyue! She stood there quietly, staring blankly into Fox Eyes, her eyes revealing an unreadable expression.

The four people sitting on the chairs had completely shrunk in their skin, as if their vitality had been drained away. Where muscle and skin should have been, only a thin layer of skin remained, clinging tightly to the bones.

Beneath that thin layer of skin, something seemed to be wriggling, like a worm or some other creature. Their eyeballs bulged out, wide open, as if about to fall out of their sockets. This made them look more like four mannequins than real humans.

"I never knew you had this habit." Fox Eyes smiled slightly, a hint of teasing in his eyes. His voice was low and magnetic, reminiscent of a demon in the middle of the night.

"I'm staying with my family, what's the problem?" Fang Ruyue's voice was calm and firm, without any fear.

Her eyes were as clear as water, looking directly into the fox's eyes without flinching. She quickly sat down at the feet of a woman and gently placed her head on her legs, her movements natural and intimate.

At this moment, the entire space suddenly became unusually quiet, as if time had stopped flowing. However, this silence didn't last long, as a strange aura soon filled the air. The surrounding walls began to bulge, as if some creature was frantically multiplying, constantly expanding and contracting.

This scene was terrifying, as if one were in a horrific dream. As the walls twisted and deformed, the entire space began to distort as well, making one feel dizzy and almost unable to stand.
