Ignoring Cheng Cheng's question, Xiao Youzi stood there, stunned.
Because the assistant director spoke up.
Assistant Director: "Congratulations on finding an important prop. Please find the key to unlock the devil in the house according to the description of the prop and release the evil spirit."
Her main quest has finally been revealed.
"Little Yuzu?" Cheng Cheng called again, and Little Yuzu suddenly came to her senses.
Holding the logbook, she looked at Cheng Cheng with a puzzled expression: "Brother Cheng Cheng, did you just hear something?"
What was that sound?
Cheng Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then goosebumps rose on his skin.
He was genuinely scared!
It seems that Brother Cheng Cheng didn't receive the same task as me.
Little Yuzu breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing, I probably misheard."
"Little Yuzu, don't scare me!" Cheng Cheng said nervously.
With a bright smile, Little Yuzu said sweetly, "I was just teasing you a little to lighten the mood."
"I don't want to liven things up like that," Cheng Cheng said, grabbing Xiao Youzi's hat.
The movements were so skillful.
Little Yuzu secretly curled the corners of her lips, then quickly suppressed her smile and called out, "Brother Cheng Cheng, come and look at this with me. It's something I just discovered."
"They're here."
Cheng Cheng peeked over next to Xiao Youzi, and the two of them started watching together.
"Work log?" Cheng Cheng read the contents aloud.
This thick stack of sheets contains notes on the daily work routines written by our Filipino maid.
Little Yuzu flips open the cover.
January 6, 20xx, Sunny
Today is my first day at the castle, and the new work environment is amazing. I was surprised to find that I even have a private room. I thought I would be sharing a room with someone else. This job is fantastic!

The lady of the house praised me today, saying that my cooking was delicious and that I should cook exclusively for the young master from now on. I only need to work two or three hours a day and take care of the young master's three meals a day. Isn't that wonderful?

How terrifying! I didn't mean to break in. How could there be something so terrifying inside? Was it just my imagination? What was it?
The diary contained only a few words, but it still piqued Xiaoyouzi's curiosity: "What is that scary thing she was talking about? What's inside it?"
Cheng Cheng: "I don't know, let's take another look together!"
Looking at the diary, Xiaoyouzi read it aloud: "The weather wasn't very good today. When I was helping Afang clean the yard, I found that a few people had entered a small house. I discovered something terrifying and almost gave myself away, but luckily I ran fast."
"Could this terrifying thing be the so-called demon?" Little Yuzu rubbed her chin.
If the demon has already appeared, then why bother looking for the key?
Something's not right.
Cheng Cheng was also completely baffled.
The two continued to roll over.
[January 20, 20xx, cloudy]
I want to escape from here, I want to go home, I miss my parents.

Heavy rain on January 21, 20xx
My little master seems a bit off. I saw him eat raw meat with a look of enjoyment on his face, and there seems to be blood under the bed in his room. How terrifying!

Severe rainstorm on January 23, 20xx
Suddenly, many unfamiliar things appeared in various corners of the castle. I felt something was very wrong, like they were for exorcising evil spirits. Where did the owners bring them back from?

The little master seemed to be in a better mood, but he didn't recognize anyone. He always greeted people with a beaming smile, which was somewhat frightening.
There is a gap in the diary entries at this point.
Xiaoyouzi combined her previous guesses with the picture book that Hu Kai and the others found, and the timelines all overlapped.
As expected, their son was the first to be possessed by the demon.
Cheng Cheng was completely confused: "What happened? I only know that the castle owner's son has some problems."
"I don't know either? Is there something wrong with him?" Little Yuzu looked at Cheng Cheng with her clear eyes, pretending to be completely unaware.
Cheng Cheng, instantly charmed, said, "Let's keep looking through this; it must be something very important."
The two flipped through several blank pages and finally found the diary again.
However, the handwriting in the diary at this time was messy, and one could tell that the owner was flustered.
Little Yuzu calmly read aloud: "He's gone mad! The little master has gone mad! He killed the cat in the house and sucked its blood dry! Not only that, but there were other animals too, many, more than a dozen corpses, and the stench was coming from under the little master's bed."
"Ugh!" Cheng Cheng felt a chill run down her spine, hugging Xiao Youzi: "How disgusting!"
Cheng Cheng's face turned pale; just hearing it made her feel physically uncomfortable.
Little Yuzu seemed to have a thought: vampire? Could it be one of those handsome vampires from foreign movies, with two sharp teeth and a fear of garlic?
"Don't be afraid!" Xiao Youzi patted Cheng Cheng's back and continued to look back.
The owner emptied his study and turned it into his child's new room, locking the child inside. But did it really work? I saw the child's wicked smile; I'm afraid to cook for him anymore, and he won't eat it even if I do.
“If this person doesn’t eat and only drinks blood, strictly speaking, he shouldn’t be human.” Little Yuzu rubbed her chin: Since he can possess someone, doesn’t that mean he’s already escaped? What’s the point of the key then?
