The cause of the conflict between the two sides was nothing more than that the foreign sorcerers did not expect that their casual comments could be understood. Then Chu Qianli and Qiao started to quarrel, while Tan Muxing and other wizards tried to mediate.

Two small cars slowly stopped at the entrance of the hotel, picking up people at the lobby entrance and taking them to the villa.

Mei Ru Z felt bored after watching the quarrel for a while because they couldn't speak the language. She urged them, "Stop fighting with them. Hurry up and get in the car and go back to your room to rest. Why waste your time with these people? You won't make any money."

"I won't bother with you!" Chu Qianli pulled her suitcase over. She walked towards the car with her head held high and her chest lifted, like a victorious little rooster. She wanted to lift the suitcase up in a casual manner, but she failed to lift it on the first try.

Tan Muxing rushed to the rescue: "...Let me do it."

Qiao was still upset about Chu Qianli defeating him in Chinese, and said unhappily, "Your physical condition is prone to accidents, and you will be the one who suffers the consequences."

Qiao couldn't tell her life span, she just felt that she had a special physique.

Mei Ru Z didn't understand, but Tan Muxing was stunned.

Chu Qianli glanced at the car that was picking up the foreign magicians. She suddenly saw the number on the license plate and retorted, "I think you are the ones who are going to be in big trouble."

Neither side was willing to give in, so they each got on a tour bus and drove away with their luggage. One bus was heading west, and the other was heading east. The tour bus would take them to different hilltop villas.

Meiru Z sat in the front row and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so noisy to take the kids out. I found out that this is how people behave after marriage. I have more strange experiences."

“…”

The tour bus only had a canopy on top, so the wind blew as we went up the mountain, and we could also see the scenery inside the villa area. Chu Qianli looked around curiously, taking the opportunity to overlook the layout from a high altitude.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at their residence. They didn't live in the highest building, so they could vaguely see the king of the building in the distance. The candidates lived in scattered single-family villas, but the villa in the center was the largest.

Chu Qianli: "Is that the building king?"

"I just received a notice in the lobby, saying that we should gather there the night after tomorrow. We should take a rest and adjust in the next two days. Some people need to adjust to the jet lag." Mei Ru Z held the letter in her hand and looked at the building not far away. "That villa seems to be called Ting Feng Xi Yu."

Tan Muxing: "What an elegant name."

"Our residence also has a name." Chu Qianli glanced at the plaque on the door and saw "Xinheju" engraved on it, and thought, "I really don't know whether this place has been considered Feng Shui or not."

After Tan Muxing thanked the staff who picked him up, he had already taken the suitcases out of the car and said gently, "Then just put your things directly at the entrance of the second floor."

Tan Muxing lived on the first floor, Chu Qianli and Mei Ruz lived on the second floor, and the three of them finally had a rest after a long journey. They did not go to the lobby for dinner at night, but had a simple meal in the villa, and did not see other candidates.

The night breeze blows and the temperature is slightly cool.

Inside the room, Chu Qianli tossed and turned in bed. She heard a slight sound beside her ear and finally sat up helplessly. She secretly glanced at Mei Ru Z who was sleeping soundly with a steam eye mask not far away.

Chu Qianli scratched her head in annoyance: "...Why would a beautiful woman snore?"

Meiru Z's lifestyle is completely like that of an elderly person. She washes up and goes to bed early, which is basically a healthy biological clock.

Chu Qianli had just promised to go to bed early and get up early with his roommate, but now he tiptoed out of bed and planned to go play with his peers downstairs.

A moment later, Chu Qianli arrived on the first floor, dressed neatly. She began to knock on the door rhythmically: "Xingxing, open the door, let's go out and have fun!"

Tan Muxing heard the noise, he slowly opened the door and reminded weakly: "It's already ten o'clock in the evening?"

"Young people's lives have just begun, and some of them may not even get off work!"

“…”

Tan Muxing had no choice but to change his shoes and go out with Chu Qianli. He asked in confusion, "But where are we going? Isn't the exam the day after tomorrow?"

The Mondsen Group gave the fortune tellers time to adjust, but they could not leave the villa area at will after checking in, and they now had no place to wander around.

"This is a murder house. The second round of screening must be related to the murder case. I guess some people can't wait to go to the Tingfeng Xiyu Building tonight so that we can steal the test questions..." Chu Qianli changed his words in a second, "No, we are familiar with the environment and can't fall behind!"

Tan Muxing had never thought that she would be so bold as to attack the main building at night. Under normal circumstances, he would have agreed immediately. Now thinking of what Qiao had said during the day, he worriedly asked, "...are you really going?"

Chu Qianli was stunned: "Don't you want to go?"

"No, but the foreigner during the day said that you have a special physique..." Tan Muxing really didn't believe in supernatural things, but when it came to her safety, he would inexplicably waver.

"Don't believe in guardian gods. It's nonsense. If such a thing really exists, who can be worthy of God's 24-hour personal protection? What a great power!" Chu Qianli comforted, "This thing sounds more outrageous than 996. If you were a god, would you tolerate such an injustice?"

"But maybe..."

"Alright, alright, I know you have divinity, you are the guardian god, alright." Chu Qianli pulled Tan Muxing out and said excitedly, "Let's go, let's go, go."

Tan Muxing couldn't persuade her and had to lock the door.

Chu Qianli left a message for Mei Ru Z, fearing that she would wake up in the middle of the night and get worried, so she dragged Tan Muxing out.

The tour buses stopped running at night, so the two had to walk up the mountain and along the main road to the main building. They saw many single-family houses with lights on along the way. They were all fortune-tellers who came to participate in the second round of screening.

"Who lives here?" Chu Qianli stood on tiptoe curiously, peeking inside to find out the news about the competitors.

Tan Muxing hurried to stop her from peeping. He was afraid that someone in the house would come out and beat her, so he said in panic, "It's not good to watch this..."

On the second floor of Xianhe Residence, Liu Jun faced Xu Zaiyuan who was sitting upright and said, "Now the forces on all sides are mixed, and we are not sure who has sneaked in. There may be people similar to us. Maybe we will have to wait until the later stage to see who is trustworthy and can be pulled together..."

"Wait a moment." Xu Zaiyuan's expression changed slightly, his brows knitted, and he asked in surprise, "Is there anyone downstairs?"

Liu Jun was startled. He stood up quickly, opened the terrace door, and carefully checked the situation downstairs. In the night, the grass and trees were so dark that nothing could be seen.

"I didn't see it." Liu Jun turned back in surprise, "Zaiyuan, you actually made a mistake?"

Xu Zaiyuan can be said to be a man of divination, especially his sudden inspiration is always correct.

“…Maybe a cat.”

Behind the tree, Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing had already hidden in a place where Xianheju could not see them. From a distance, they glimpsed someone standing on the terrace to inspect, and not long after, the person turned back to the house.

Chu Qianli said proudly: "Hehe, this is called me predicting your prediction!"

"No, this is called crazy testing on the edge of danger." Tan Muxing said helplessly. If she didn't have the ability to avoid danger, she would have gotten into a lot of trouble.

"But I didn't expect that the people living in this building had such strong intuition. They almost caught up with Sister Ru Z. I was almost caught." Chu Qianli glanced at the door plaque and murmured, "Is this Xianheju?"

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing continued walking up, but unfortunately they were unable to enter the Tingfengxiyu Building. Someone had put up fences and seals on the outside, directly blocking the two from moving forward.

The glass windows of the huge villa were pitch black, not letting in any light at all. Occasionally, one could hear a strange sound of wind coming from nowhere.

Tan Muxing noticed something unusual happening in the villa and asked suspiciously, "Is there any sound coming from inside?"

"This is not just whispering, it's a bloody storm. It really feels like a haunted house." Chu Qianli felt chilly in the night. She couldn't help shivering and rubbing her arms subconsciously.

Tan Muxing noticed her little movement and said gently, "If you feel cold, just go back. We can't go in."

The two men failed to successfully enter the main building. They walked slowly down the slope and unexpectedly saw a familiar face.

"Are those the foreigners from daytime?" Tan Muxing recognized Qiao with dark hair and blue eyes, and saw the foreign sorcerers coming out of the house.

"That's true." Chu Qianli took a look at their residence. The name on the door seemed to be Huo Ling Ju. She stroked her chin and said, "Alas, the place they live in is not good. Their luck is really bad."

Although each team is randomly assigned villas, numerology is about finding patterns in randomness, and countless coincidences combined may lead to an inevitable trend.

"Where are they going so late at night?"

Chu Qianli noticed Qiao and the others were walking up the mountain, and replied, "They must want to be the first to see the test questions. Everyone knows there is a murder here. The other small villas are fine, so the Tingfengxiyu Building is the one."

The two of them no longer cared about the foreign wizards who were dealing with the guardian gods. They returned to Xinheju together, said good night to each other, and went to rest.

The next morning, Chu Qianli and the others came to the lobby to eat buffet. Mei Ru Z checked her phone and saw yesterday's message: "Did you guys go out for a walk last night? You are really brave. It's said to be a haunted house."

Chu Qianli: "We haven't even entered the murderer's house yet."

"Meimei is right, you guys are really brave. Two foreigners were injured and had to withdraw last night. They were just moved away by the group!" Huang Jue said schadenfreudely. He sat down next to Mei Ru Z while carrying the buffet tray. "Meimei, did you have a good rest yesterday?"

"I'm full." Mei Ru Z wiped her mouth with a tissue. She saw Chu Qianli drawing on the plate with jam without even turning to look at Huang Jue, so she suggested, "Why don't we go?"

Huang Jue sat at the same table with the three of them and said quickly, "Let's sit down and chat for a while. At least we are all on the Chinese team."

Chu Qianli was puzzled: "Why is he injured again?"

Huang Jue showed disdain on his face: "It's not normal for a vicious man to be injured by a powerful ghost. We can only blame those foreigners for not learning the skills well enough!"

Tan Muxing: "...A fierce ghost?"

Mei Ru Z said indifferently: "This is the atheist table. Theists please leave as soon as possible."

Huang Jue was surprised: "Is there still such a thing as separate tables? But you are all here!"

Huang Jue couldn't understand why the other party didn't believe in ghosts when they came to participate in the competition. Ordinary people might not be grateful for this, but Chu Qianli and others were of some level, so they naturally seemed out of place.

Chu Qianli nodded and said, "Of course there are. You see, some places even have special no-smoking areas. It's not a problem for us to have an atheist area."

Huang Jue: “?”

Mei Ru Z didn't want to stay with Huang Jue any longer, so she packed up and left first, and Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing quickly followed.

When the three of them came out of the lobby after finishing their meal, they unexpectedly encountered another wave of wounded people, this time they were domestic fortune-tellers.

The injured person with a broken bone was in a state of depression at this time. After being examined by medical staff, he withdrew from the second round of screening with his luggage and left the haunted villa area by car.

"What's wrong with Lao Li? He is usually so arrogant, but now he is like an eggplant hit by frost!"

"Don't mention it. Last night, he insisted on going to Tingfeng Xiyu Building and even came to my place to call me. After he came back, he was in a daze and complained a lot. He said that he fell from a high place for no apparent reason and heard strange noises in the building..."

Chu Qianli listened to their conversation and said in amazement, "Did he go into the building? Isn't there a fence?"

"You can climb over the fence. When we were kids, we climbed over walls. What's a fence like that?"

Chu Qianli tutted in dissatisfaction: "Sure enough, we are too obedient."

Tan Muxing warned: "He was not obedient and got hurt."

Someone analyzed: "I think the feng shui of this place is not right. It is simply deliberately gathering negative energy. It might breed some powerful evil spirits. Maybe the exam is to exorcise demons..."

Chu Qianli heard this and nodded in agreement: "The feng shui here is indeed strange."

Many people in the crowd turned pale and said in panic, "No way, it's a bit too much to exorcise demons. We can't handle that thing. We can't just push people into the fire pit."

"Hey, you didn't read the contract, right? In addition to the confidentiality agreement, we were also covered by personal accident insurance."

"Then, then I won't take the test. I've never seen such a powerful ghost that can cause serious injuries to people. In the past, the most I've seen is nightmares or something..."

"The main problem is that they are irresponsible. They don't even come here to live here themselves, but just lock us up here!" People around were quite dissatisfied with the Mondsen Group, and the organizers were obviously incapable of handling the matter.

The crowd at the lobby entrance started to stir, and some people began to back off, especially since the injured were indeed injured, and there were more than one or two of them, which was clearly beyond the understanding of some people.

Some theistic sorcerers claim that illnesses can be divided into real illnesses and imaginary illnesses. Real illnesses are those that require treatment in a hospital, while imaginary illnesses are what outsiders call mental illnesses. Sorcerers believe that they are caused by something unclean.

However, now that virtual things have created real injuries, the problem has become complicated. No wonder some candidates feel that they are unable to do it.

People gradually came to the lobby to withdraw from the competition, and basically no one wanted to stay here any longer.

Tan Muxing saw them withdraw from the competition and asked, "So everyone can't tell fortunes about ghosts?"

"The hexagram is an interpretation of the laws of objective things. Everyone has a different subjective understanding of ghosts. Things like this that have no unified standards and specific characteristics cannot be interpreted by hexagrams. There is also no credible case accumulation." Chu Qianli smiled, "Fortune-telling is big data."

Mei Ru Z said coldly: "These people won't open their mouths unless they mention ghosts. If there really is a ghost, I will just catch it and sell it for money. Can it prove that there are ghosts in the world? It's no better than their baby stone mine veins."

Chu Qianli seemed to be thinking, "I think the ghost story is fake, but the people story is real. I'm afraid someone is eager to stir up trouble and cause chaos, hoping that more people will withdraw from the competition."

Tan Muxing: "..." This sounds familiar? It feels like they did something similar in their first try?

As night falls, the workers in the villa area get off work and return to an eerie silence.

Because an injured player withdrew from the competition during the day, the night was even more deserted. Some people didn't go to the buffet and didn't know the news, while others stayed in the hill villa honestly, not daring to take risks before the test.

In the dark grass, Chu Qianli awkwardly climbed over the fence and made way for Mei Ru Z. After she successfully sneaked in, she stood there, patted her clothes, and tidied up her messy clothes.

"This place is so troublesome. I have to turn it over by myself!" Mei Ru Z jumped over nimbly, far less clumsy than Chu Qianli.

Tan Muxing: "...Should we just come and look at the test questions in advance?"

"Don't panic, Xingxing. It's night time now and there's no light!" Chu Qianli said, "There must be someone sneaking into this building. They've read the test questions in advance. If we don't read them, we'll be at a loss."

Chu Qianli concluded that someone was causing trouble, probably to scare off other candidates and make them afraid of Tingfengxiyu Building so that they would not dare to come over to investigate the situation before the exam.

"Let's split up and look around. It's quite big in here." Meiru Z stood outside the main building. She looked around and said crisply, "You two go one way, I'll go this way, and then we'll check the news later."

Chu Qianli: "Sister Ru Z, are you okay by yourself?"

"Before you came, I always went to these places alone. I'm used to it."

Tan Muxing didn't understand metaphysics, and it was indeed more efficient for Chu Qianli and Mei Ruz to separate, so the three of them agreed to meet at the turned-over fence.

With the help of Tan Muxing, Chu Qianli climbed in through the side window. She used the weak light from her cell phone to investigate the situation and saw some fresh marks on the ground: "It seems that the old man at the door was right. Someone did come to clean the place recently."

"Is there no light here?" Tan Muxing was unsure of the direction and was still trying to adapt to the surrounding environment.

Chu Qianli fumbled around: "Or turn on the flashlight on your phone."

The two were about to turn on the flashlight when they suddenly saw a dark shadow and stopped at the same time.

In the dark corridor, the two couldn't even see the outline of the shadow. Everything seemed blurry and unclear, so they couldn't tell whether it was a human or a ghost.

Chu Qianli was startled when he saw this, and asked hesitantly, "Are we really going to catch the ghost to get rich and make Xingxing's already super wealthy family even worse off?"

Tan Muxing: “?”
