The male player was currently in the garden in front of the villa.
Besides him were other players as well.
There were also many guests in the garden.
Apparently, they were discussing what to do next.
One of the guests, with an unpleasant expression, spoke, “There’s no other way out of the villa; all sides are covered in that ghostly fog.”
Another guest hesitated a bit before speaking. “Could there be an underground passage that connects to the outside?”
“It’s possible,” many guests agreed with this suggestion.
If they couldn’t get out from the surface, it’s highly likely that the way out was from beneath the ground.
However, Yang Family Villa was so large that even if there’s an underground passage, finding it wouldn’t be easy.
The Yang family surely knew the way out and understood the nature of those blood-red vines.
Some guests propose capturing the Yang family members to force them to reveal how to leave this place.
Considering the combined number of the Yang family and their distant relatives was just over a hundred people, many guests agreed.
They believed they could overcome them with their larger group.
The players didn’t intervene, merely watching from the sidelines.
The guests acted swiftly, but their efforts were quickly suppressed.
In less than ten minutes, all the guests that were involved were thrown into the fog, and cries of agony echoed outside the villa gates.
No one dared to make a move this time.
The Yang family’s strength far surpassed everyone’s expectations. Even a servant could effortlessly take on multiple opponents.
The players witnessed the formidable combat abilities of the Yang family. Although they appeared to be fighting normally, it’s clear they were far from ordinary.
In fact, they might not be human.
The entire Yang family might not be human at all, as the players saw the wounds on the Yang family members healing slowly—an ability beyond human capability.
Realizing that confronting them directly was likely futile, the players exchanged glances and decided to continue searching for an escape route.
Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief. These players finally went to search for clues.
The Yang family villa was really too large.
In addition to the main villa where the Yang family lived, there were also numerous smaller villas around, forming a complete castle.
If they moved together, they might not be able to explore the villa in these seven days.
Players had to split into groups, preparing to roughly explore the Yang family villa first.
Of course, the focus of exploration was on the main villa where the Yang family lived.
There were even groups assigned to explore the fourth and fifth floors.
Ruan Qing really wished that the player he was possessing would be assigned to the fifth floor.
He wanted to see the rooms of other members of the Yang family.
Unfortunately, the allocation was based on the players’ strength, and the fifth floor was assigned to stronger players.
The male player, because of his disguised weakness, was assigned to the first floor.
The players assigned to the first floor were supposed to investigate if there was any basement or something similar.
The player Ruan Qing was possessing didn’t say much about the allocation and went straight to the first floor.
However, on his way to the first floor, the male player first returned to his room and then entered the bathroom.
Ruan Qing thought he wanted to use the toilet, so he immediately closed his eyes.
However, that wasn’t the case.
It seemed the male player had some cleanliness problem; his hands had some dirt on them, and even his clothes were stained.
So, he came back to take a shower.
Ruan Qing closed his eyes when the male player started undressing.
He and the male player only shared the field of vision; once he closed his eyes, he couldn’t perceive anything.
It was like being in an endless dark space.
Seeing nothing and hearing nothing.
If it were an ordinary person, it would probably be difficult to adapt to this environment.
But Ruan Qing’s mental resilience was strong, and he didn’t immediately return to his own body.
After all, returning and possessing again would waste too much mental energy.
Ruan Qing closed his eyes for about half an hour.
Half an hour should be enough.
Ruan Qing then opened his eyes.
Unexpectedly, a naked man suddenly appeared in front of Ruan Qing.
No, it was the mirror in the bathroom.
The male player was standing in front of the mirror.
Ruan Qing immediately closed his eyes when he realized this.
After a few minutes, he opened his eyes again.
However, the scene in front of him hadn’t changed at all; it was still the naked man.
Ruan Qing: “...” This male player seemed to have some issues.
The male player wasn’t spending a long time admiring himself in the mirror; rather, he seemed to be contemplating something.
His gaze was somewhat distant and empty, not focused on the mirror at all.
Apparently, he just happened to be standing in front of the mirror while lost in thought.
The male player was reasonably good-looking, but he wasn’t exactly handsome.
Not ugly, but not exceptionally handsome either.
However, he had a very good physique.
Ruan Qing didn’t look down, but closed his eyes again.
This time, he gave the male player enough time for contemplation.
After about ten minutes, Ruan Qing opened his eyes. He thought ten minutes of contemplation should be sufficient, considering the male player still needed to explore the situation on the first floor.
Delaying any further would mean it’s almost lunchtime.
However, when Ruan Qing opened his eyes and saw the scene in front, his eyes widened in surprise.
In his beautiful eyes, there was astonishment and disbelief.
This time, the male player was indeed not lost in thought.
He was still standing in front of the mirror.
However, unlike earlier, his face now carried a sense of restraint and ambiguity. His breath was a bit unsteady, and his hands were gripping something below him. He was doing something incongruous in front of the mirror.
Ruan Qing: “......”

Just as Ruan Qing returned to his own body, a knocking sound came from outside the door.
Following that, the voice of a servant sounded, “Mr. Yu Qing, it’s time for lunch.”
Ruan Qing looked towards the door with a slight furrow in his brow.
Eating again.
He always felt that the Yang family’s rules regarding meals were a bit strange.
“I’m not hungry.”
The servant’s voice carried a hint of hesitation. “Mr. Yu, the steward specifically instructed to call you for lunch. Please come down and have something to eat.”
seems like the male player feels his master presence :3c
