They could only conclude that the boss in this dungeon was probably leaning towards the existence of vampires or similar beings.
During the afternoon, players merely explored the layout and structure of the Yang family, as well as some restricted areas.
They focused particularly on the villa where the young master’s body was placed and the graveyard in the Yang family’s backyard.
Servants guarded the villa with the young master’s body, not allowing anyone to approach.
The situation was the same for the graveyard in the backyard; no guests were allowed to go up.
Even getting closer was prohibited, and the servants would immediately expel anyone attempting to do that.
Moreover, the location of the graveyard in the backyard was much higher than on this side of the villa, making it impossible to see what was on top from below.
Since it was broad daylight, sneaking up was too risky, as the servants could easily discover them.
So, the players planned to wait until night to seize the opportunity to investigate.
However, it would be better to re-explore the situation in the Yang family, especially those two peculiar young masters, before attempting to go further.
The players were amazed that these two young masters could embed their footprints into the wall with a kick, a feat even players using point-boosting skills couldn’t achieve.
It seemed these two young masters were not ordinary humans.
The players prepared to investigate the servants more thoroughly, especially these two young masters.
However, halfway through, the players noticed something was wrong—they seemed to be missing one person.
Hadn’t they returned yet, or had something happened?
The players felt a slight unease. When they split up to investigate, they had agreed on a meeting time, and the missing person was a new player.
While experienced players like the vice president and team leader might investigate on their own, a new player wouldn’t have the courage or strength for that.
So, either they were hindered by something beyond their control, or something unfortunate had occurred.
Due to the assigned investigation areas, the players quickly determined the missing player’s location.
It was near the left side of the villa, not far from the villa cluster where the Yang family’s collateral relatives lived.
The players abandoned the idea of investigating the two young masters and, without second thoughts, prepared to sneak over.
The Yang family villa posed a danger, but currently, they couldn’t confirm whether the danger was the speculated vampire threat.
Dealing with various monsters requires different tools and methods, and without prior investigation, they might be caught off guard and killed.
Even if they had the tools, they might not get a chance to use them.
Players had much stronger abilities than ordinary guests, and their courage and perception were also much greater.
So, Ruan Qing naturally didn’t want to miss the chance to investigate with the players.
Ruan Qing looked at the departing players, cautiously glanced at Yang Chenyan sitting on the seat, and seeing that Yang Chenyan didn’t notice him, Ruan Qing stood up and directly followed with Shen Baiyue.
The players never relaxed their vigilance, naturally noticing the two people following them.
In fact, they hadn’t brought any other guests since the afternoon, even getting rid of others.
But when they saw that it was Ruan Qing and Shen Baiyue, they remained silent for a few seconds, pretending not to have seen the two.
In the villa hall, Yang Chenyan watched as the young man left the hall without looking back, his expression darkening a bit, almost as black as ink.
Clearly, he was on the verge of eruption.
The nearby steward’s heart trembled at the sight, and he immediately wanted to go after the young man.
However, as the steward had walked halfway, Yang Chenyan coldly spoke, “Let him go.”
After saying that, Yang Chenyan snorted, “I think he won’t shed a tear until he sees the coffin, he has to hit the south wall to know pain.”
“There will be a time for him to cry.”
Upon hearing this, the steward’s body froze, and he could only stiffly retreat.
But he also dared not truly ignore Mr. Yu Qing. If something happened, both young masters would probably be angry, and he and the other servants would be the ones affected.
The steward initially wanted to instruct the nearby servants to follow, but upon seeing Yang Chenyan, who had only taken a few bites while sitting, expressionlessly putting down his chopsticks, he picked up his phone and quickly pressed on it, manipulating something.
However, the next second, the steward understood what Yang Chenyan was doing.
The Yang family had a family group chat.
Both the main and branch lines of the Yang family were included, and even those who hadn’t returned to the family were part of it.
The steward felt his phone vibrate.
Usually, they received messages without notifications in the family group, but special alerts were set up only for three individuals.
Feeling the vibration, the steward immediately gave up on finding the servants and quickly took out his phone to see what was happening.
The Third Young Master, who had never spoken in the family group chat, sent several messages.
The general idea was that they needed to scare Mr. Yu Qing severely.
And if Mr. Yu Qing lost a single hair, they should go to hell.
Steward: “...”
The usually active Yang family group chat fell into an eerie silence after Yang Chenyan’s messages.
Those messages from Yang Chenyan hung on the screen.
Seeing no response, Yang Chenyan felt a bit dissatisfied and impatiently typed a few more words.
[Yang Chenyan: Didn’t receive it? Do I need to come over in person?]
[Yang Five: Received!]
[Yang Six: Received!]
[Yang Seven: Received!]
...
After Yang Chenyan’s threatening words, the group chat was instantly flooded with ‘received’ messages.
In less than three seconds, almost half of the Yang family members had responded with ‘received.’
They seemed afraid that if they were even a second late, Yang Chenyan would personally come to find them.
After all, if Yang Chenyan really went to look for them, the chances of coming out alive were questionable.
The steward thought for a moment and silently replied with a ‘received.’
However, the steward still felt it wasn’t very realistic. It would be better to find Mr. Yu Qing before 10 PM tonight.
Otherwise, if they accidentally bumped into him, it could be really troublesome.
It wasn’t just a problem on the Third Young Master’s side; even on the Second Young Master’s side, things weren’t looking good.
After the steward replied, countless people privately chatted with him, all asking what Yang Chenyan’s words meant.
The steward didn’t bother replying individually and directly created a small group for them.
[Yang Five: What does the Third Young Master mean? What does scaring someone have to do with losing a hair? Is he just using an excuse to get rid of us? We haven’t provoked him recently! (Horror.jpg)]
[Yang Six: Exactly! I’m literally stuck here. This is like a death command—scare someone severely but ensure no harm to that person. How is that even possible? What if he falls himself? What then? Blame it on us? (Frustration.jpg)]
[Yang Seven: Can I skip this mission? I won’t go out tonight. I’ll just lock myself in my room.]
Perhaps because Yang Chenyan’s command was too strange, the Yang family members couldn’t hold back and started asking questions frantically as soon as they entered the group.
The speed of the flood of messages was so fast that it was almost impossible to read the questions.
The steward felt his eyes were tired, so he immediately activated the mute mode, and the messages on the screen finally stopped.
The steward directly addressed the point that concerned the Yang family members.
