Little Yuzu nonchalantly looked away.
"Shall we stay here with you and wait for him?" Luo Li asked tentatively.
After checking the time, Xiao Youzi suddenly jumped up as if her bottom was on fire, and hurriedly said goodbye to Luo Li and the others: "Brother, Uncle Hu, I'm leaving now, see you later, you guys go ahead and investigate."
"etc."
Luo Li frowned: "You were in a group with Cheng Cheng, where did Cheng Cheng go?"
"Brother Cheng Cheng has a separate mission, so we separated for a while. I'll go find him to meet up first."
Xiao Youzi smiled at Luo Li and raised an eyebrow at Hu Kai.
Hu Kai lowered his head and chuckled softly.
"Brother Hu, what's wrong?" Luo Li asked, puzzled.
Hu Kai nodded to Xiao Youzi: "Be careful."
His eyes held a profound meaning.
Luo Li: What exactly are you doing?
"Bye-bye, brother! Goodbye, Uncle Hu!" Little Yuzu waved and left happily.
After going downstairs, Xiaoyouzi looked around curiously.
The shadow man is gone.
She quietly approached the window and watched as Cheng Cheng was chased by the shadowy figure behind him, begging for mercy on the ground.
"Stop chasing me, I'm exhausted!"
As someone who excels in both singing and dancing, Cheng Cheng complained as she ran, checking the time at the same time.
Behind him, five shadow figures wearing bells chased after Cheng Cheng, but they always kept a distance.
Little Yuzu hid in the corner and secretly watched Cheng Cheng run to the end of the chase.
She hid behind the door and saw Cheng Cheng panting as he took out his earphones, said something, and then the shadow man put his mask back on.
Cheng Cheng's chest was still heaving from the run.
Little Yuzu rolled her eyes, darted behind the large staircase next to her, and jumped around as if she had overexerted herself.
When Cheng Cheng came in, she was also standing in front of the stairs, her breath unsteady.
Don't get too close, or you'll give yourself away.
Unaware of the danger, Cheng Cheng took off his blindfold and saw Xiao Youzi running over and hugging him tightly.
Caught off guard, Cheng Cheng only had time to reach out and catch Xiao Youzi: "Xiao Youzi, how are you? You have no idea I was just being chased, it was terrifying!"
"Me too, I'm scared." Little Yuzu, panting, let go of her hand.
Cheng Cheng asked, "Little Youzi, just now you..."
"Brother Cheng Cheng, where were you just now? I didn't see you at all." Xiao Youzi preemptively struck, not giving Cheng Cheng a chance to ask.
A somewhat bewildered Cheng Cheng said, "I was just outside there..."
The two of them looked out the window together.
It was pitch black outside, and I couldn't see anything.
Little Yuzu asked curiously, "There's nothing outside! There were lights outside during the chase."
Cheng Cheng: Xiao Youzi is indeed with me. We have the same mission. But why haven't we met?
"There are lights outside too, but they're off now," Cheng Cheng explained, then asked, "Where were you just now?"
Little Yuzi clung to Cheng Cheng's arm, her bright eyes looking at him: "I was so scared just now. When they said the chase was about to start, I ran for a while and then hid in a tree."
"It was fine at first, but towards the end, those shadow figures spotted me. Luckily, I jumped down and ran fast."
Xiao Youzi spoke so convincingly that Cheng Cheng had no doubts whatsoever.
Seeing that Cheng Cheng didn't suspect anything, Xiao Youzi continued, "What's even scarier is that I didn't even see Brother Cheng Cheng, otherwise I would have told you to hide."
“This manor is very big, it must have many courtyards, you and I are probably not in the same place.” Cheng Cheng patted Xiaoyouzi’s head reassuringly.
Little Yuzu nodded: "Possibly, that's terrifying. I never want to see shadow people again. Let's finish the mission quickly."
“Then let’s go find the tools to complete the sacred ceremony now.” Cheng Cheng didn’t hold back and directly stated his mission.
Little Yuzu nodded without hesitation: "Yes."
Considering her own mission, she added, "We need to find the necessary items to defeat the evil spirit."
"Um."
This time, Cheng Cheng was completely convinced that he was just that lucky to be in the same group as Xiao Youzi and to be her teammate.
"Come on, Little Yuzu, let's go up there and look for it first."
Cheng Cheng took Xiao Youzi's hand and led her upstairs.
Director Li and his assistant director watched helplessly as Cheng Cheng was completely fooled by Xiao Youzi, without a shred of doubt, and even revealed all his mission details.
Director Li & Assistant Director: ...
Wow, Little Yuzu!
The second-floor corridor was dark and long. The two of them stood in the middle of the corridor, and the darkness from the shadows created a terrifying atmosphere.
"It's so dark."
As soon as Cheng Cheng finished speaking, a gust of wind blew out from nowhere, startling him: "Little Youzi, can you feel it? A sinister ghostly aura!"
Cheng Cheng, who was holding Xiao Youzi's hand, tightened his grip, and his palms began to sweat.
Prying Cheng Cheng's tightly clenched hand open, Xiao Youzi asked with a smile, "Are you scared, Brother Cheng Cheng?"
"This corridor is pitch black, and I don't know what's in there." Cheng Cheng trembled.
Little Yuzu had a sudden inspiration: "Hey, there seems to be a road over there too."
As if she had just seen it, Xiaoyouzi took Cheng Cheng's hand again and walked towards the far side of the corridor.
The corridor was still dark and unlit, but you could vaguely see a few things.
Because of the cold moonlight outside.
Little Yuzu then said, "It's dark now, but there's still a little moonlight outside. Let's go this way."
