At some point, the outside of the window had already calmed down.
The blood-red tentacles had also returned to their normal state, quietly wrapping around the Yang family villa.
As if nothing had happened before.
The villa’s soundproof glass windows were not bad; as long as the blood-red tentacles didn’t hit the glass, one could barely hear any outside noise.
Moreover, even if they looked outside the window, they wouldn’t be able to see anything.
Because the outside was shrouded in that strange fog, and it’s nighttime, making it impossible to see clearly.
But in such a extremely dangerous place, doing such extremely dangerous things, Ruan Qing was naturally vigilant at all times.
So, the moment the bloodstains appeared on the ground, he noticed.
But, it was too late...
Ruan Qing saw how fast the three disappeared, not exceeding three seconds in total.
And three seconds were simply not enough for him to leave.
Even three seconds were not enough to restore the documents on the table.
Even if he left the study, he would definitely be caught immediately.
After all, Yang Wenmin’s perception ability had already reached a terrifying level.
Ruan Qing did not believe he could successfully escape from under Yang Wenmin’s watchful eyes.
Ruan Qing’s brain reacted extremely fast. Three seconds weren’t enough for him to leave, but three seconds were sufficient for the robot to hide.
After all, if a robot resembling a blood shadow appeared here, it could not be explained.
But him being here could be explained.
Yu Qing had always wanted to know the cause of Yang Chenfeng’s death. Previously, he was afraid of being thrown into the fog for violating the Yang family rules, so he dared not come up to investigate.
But now he obviously didn’t have much time left. Using the last moments of his life to secretly investigate was entirely normal.
There was no such thing as breaking the character setting.
However, whether he could survive tonight was uncertain.
That Yang Wenmin was from the earliest line of the Yang family, according to the documents on the table. It seemed he had been in existence for at least a few hundred years.
However, he always changed his identity externally.
At a certain point in time, he would transform into the ‘grandfather.’
After the ‘grandfather’ died, he would seamlessly transform into the ‘son,’ becoming the new leader of the Yang family.
It seemed that Yang Wenmin placed an extreme importantce on the ‘god creation’ plan, as he could heartlessly utter such words even about his own son, whom he had nurtured for a long time, let alone his relatively insignificant ‘son-in-law.’
It also provided a good opportunity to observe the attitudes of Yang Chenjin and Yang Chenyan.
If these two were willing to protect him, even if it meant going against Yang Wenmin, it would indicate their true intentions regarding this body.
Although Ruan Qing was tempted by the power of the ‘god,’ he would not blindly follow the plans of the two until he found a way to be recognized as human by the game’s main system.
That would be extremely passive.
There’s also the unpredictable Yang Wenmin.
Yang Wenmin desired to ‘create a god,’ but certainly not one that could resist him.
Although the information did not explicitly state this, Ruan Qing felt there must be a significant catch in it.
Perhaps even if one possessed the ‘power of the god,’ they could still be controlled by Yang Wenmin.
In the end, it would just be a puppet with the ‘power of the god.’
Moreover, leaving this instance would no longer be possible for Ruan Qing if he became a non-human entity.
The robot moved quickly, leaving the study in just a second, then it climbed into the ventilation duct.
The robot had no heartbeat, no breath. Once deactivated, it was indistinguishable from a cold object.
Not easily detected.
As the robot disappeared from the study, three familiar figures appeared.
They were Yang Wenmin, Yang Chenjin, and Yang Chenyan.
Upon seeing an extra person in the study, the three paused slightly.
Ruan Qing, seemingly taken aback, raised his head and, upon seeing the familiar figures, panic-stricken, immediately put down the documents in his hands.
An appearance of someone caught peeking.
In reality, Ruan Qing was carefully scrutinizing the three in front of him.
Yang Wenmin and Yang Chenjin were relatively fine. Apart from bloodstains on their clothes and slightly disheveled hair, there was nothing unusual.
But the third figure was different; at this moment, his body was no different from those blood shadows.
Even to the point of extreme distortion, accompanied by obvious madness and brutality.
Ruan Qing didn’t need to guess; he knew it had to be Yang Chenyan because only the direct descendants of the Yang family could access the fourth floor.
But unlike a blood shadow, Yang Chenyan seemed to retain consciousness.
Upon seeing the person in the study, his eyes widened, and his figure abruptly halted.
Following the initial frenzy, the agitation disappeared abruptly. Instead, he instinctively raised his hand, attempting to cover his own distorted face.
A look as if afraid of being seen by Ruan Qing.
But his problems extended beyond just his face.
As he extended his hand, a pair of bloodstained, contorted hands, with fingers twisted and marred, caught his eye.
Yang Chenyan’s body became even stiffer; the next moment, his figure melted directly, disappearing into the study.
Ruan Qing’s peripheral vision subtly watched the place where Yang Chenyan disappeared.
This Yang Chenyan seemed somewhat different from Yang Chenjin and Yang Wenmin.
Was it because the power was not strong enough, or was it due to not having consumed enough ‘food’?
Ruan Qing felt it was probably because he wasn’t strong enough. After all, the Yang family had never regarded human life lightly, so how could they possibly go without sustenance?
Moreover, Yang Chenyan ranked third, and the ranking of the Yang family’s direct descendants might be related to strength.
When Yang Chenjin was holding the monster outside the window, he noticed that someone’s room was empty, so Ruan Qing appearing here wasn’t too surprising.
He glanced at Yang Wenmin beside him. He watched Ruan Qing as he approached. In a gentle tone with a hint of apology, he said, “Sorry, I had to step away for a moment. Apologies for keeping you waiting.”
Yang Chenjin’s tone was intimate and familiar, as if Ruan Qing appearing here had been agreed upon in advance.
In other words, Ruan Qing going up to the fourth floor was permitted by him.
One of the rules of the Yang family was that, with the permission of the direct descendants of the Yang family, outsiders could go up to the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors.
It did not violate the rules of the Yang family.
Ruan Qing understood Yang Chenjin’s intention; he wanted to protect him.
Ruan Qing wasn’t moved; instead, his heart became slightly heavier.
It was evident that Yang Chenjin intended to defy Yang Wenmin for him.
After all, if these two individuals planned to save him, it would definitely conflict with Yang Wenmin’s ‘god creation’ plan.
After all, the ‘god creation’ sacrifice coincided with the funeral of Yang Chenfeng. These two people had previously mentioned that they must ensure he survived until that moment.
Ruan Qing really wanted to follow Yang Chenjin’s words, but he couldn’t.
Because he had already reviewed the information on the desk, learned about the cause of Yang Chenfeng’s death, and understood everything about the Yang family.
Although it might not have been personally done by the direct line of the Yang family, strictly speaking, Yang Chenfeng’s death was also related to these three individuals.
How tragic it was that one existed only to meet their demise at a specific moment.
And how infuriating it must have been.
