After a while, I arrived at my destination.

The building in front of me was a dilapidated villa, which seemed to have been unoccupied for a long time. The two kidnappers seemed to especially like this kind of place. The courtyard of the villa was messy, full useless wood and broken marble pillars.

But it was a building like this that was emitting a strange orange light at this time, and there was no doubt that the two men were in this building at this time.

Seeing that the front door could not be entered, I turned to the back of the villa and found that the iron gate of the courtyard of the villa was not locked at this time. I gently pushed open the iron gate, came to the corner of the villa, and quietly looked inside the villa through the glasses.

What I saw was an empty room full of dust. There were no footprints on the dust, indicating that no one had been in this room for a long time. I gently climbed over the window and slid into the room.

To be on the safe side, I did not take off my sunglasses, I also took the Post-it note in my hand. Because I have never seen what the two men looked like, so I decided that as long as there was a person emitting the orange light, I would subdue him first no matter what.

But what made me feel strange was that until I searched all the rooms on the first floor, I didn’t find anyone. So I walked up to the second floor quietly. However, I still couldn’t find a trace of anyone after I searched the second floor.

As I said before, the whole house was covered with dust. If someone had been here recently, there would be footprints.

But the whole house had been explored by me. Apart from my own footprints, no one else's footprints had been found.

That was to say, there was no one in this building, but the light of the sunglasses clearly pointed to this building.

I carefully pondered the situation that made me feel contradictory. After recalling the previous factory, I seemed to have gotten some clues.

These two people did not use the factory building before, but used a more concealed basement, then did it mean that...

Thinking of this, I hurriedly went downstairs and walked out of the house. I circled the house and found a passage to the basement on the side of the house.

Seeing that my guess was not wrong, I exhaled a sigh of relief. Then I felt a little nervous. After all, it was very likely that the two evil cult members were in the basement at this time.

After making all the preparations on the ground, I took a flashlight and walked in.

Unlike the underground passage of the previous factory, the stairs here still had lights on the walls, and the stairs were not as deep as the underground of the factory. After walking for a while, I saw the iron door at the end.

The door was not locked, but slightly open. Through the gap in the door, I could see the light shining from inside.

After confirming that there was a light, I put away the flashlight and held the Post-it note in both hands.

This was the basement of the house, so the space was definitely not as big as the factory. It was very likely that as soon as I entered, I would meet those two people.

Since the head-on conflict became an unavoidable situation, I had to face it. With Post-it notes in my hand, as long as I caught them by surprise, the probability of winning was quite high.

After counting one, two, and three in my heart, I made up my mind and kicked open the iron gate.

"Don't move! You are arrested..."

I shouted the lines that I had prepared to scare people, but before I finished speaking, the following words got stuck in my throat.

The lights in the room were not bright, but the dim yellow incandescent light still made me see the situation clearly.

The first thing that caught my eye was two people who were tied up. They were lying on the ground in a coma. They should be the two hostages who had been transferred before.

On the ground in front of them, there was a strange half-painted circle, exactly the kind I saw under the factory. On the unfinished circle, lying two headless bodies of men, their heads had already rolled into the corner. Probably they had just died, so the broken necks were still gurgling with blood, even the bodies were still twitching unconsciously.

But these were not the reasons that made me stunned. What really made me unable to speak was the petite figure standing beside the two corpses.

Through the sunglasses, I could clearly see that the person's body was emitting a black-red light, under the shining of the dim yellow incandescent light, it was like the black sun burning slowly in the world.

The person was not tall. SHe was dressed in a strange maid costume, with waterfall-like hair draped over her shoulders. Her golden pupils were shining in the shadows, and she was holding a strangely shaped black and purple short knife. At the moment, the sharp knife was pointing to the ground, drops of blood were dripping from it.

This person was the girl named Ye Zi that I sent home yesterday!

I didn't know how to express my shock at this time, but for a while I didn’t know how to react.

Obviously, Ye Zi had also discovered me, or she had already discovered me before I entered the basement.

She turned her golden pupils to look in my direction, her face seemed to be shrouded in ice, without the slightest expression.

"You are here."

The simple words without any emotion made my whole body's hair stand up in an instant. It was a feeling of being watched by a superior person. If it must be compared, it was like a sheep being stared by a cheetah. Obviously, I was that sheep.

I swallowed and tried to moisten my dry throat so that my voice would not be so hoarse.

"Ye...Ye Zi, what are you doing here?"

Ye Zi frowned at once, but her voice was still cold.

"Are you blind? Can’t you tell by looking at it?"

Of course I could see it clearly! In this situation, I could tell at a glance that you killed the two evil cult members cleanly, but everyone would doubt it, right?  A thin girl beheaded two adult males like cutting vegetables? What kind of joke was this?

She looked at me, who had a shocked expression, and showed a very disappointed look.

"Well, then you can die together with them."

Chapter 20

At the moment when the voice fell, Ye Zi, who was still standing a few steps away from me, had already appeared in front of my eyes. I didn’t even see how she moved. I just felt like the breeze was blowing. I felt that a knife was being held against my neck.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

The shadow of death fell on me in an instant, and I raised my hands as quickly as possible. Of course, instead of resisting, I assumed a posture of surrender.

"What?"

It was just one word, different from yesterday, the Ye Zi in front of me didn't even want to say a word more.

"Can I ask why you want to kill me?"

I tried my best to restrain the fear in my heart and asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

Ye Zi's brows were frowned from the beginning, and after hearing my question, they seemed to frown even deeper.

"Why do I need a reason to kill?"

What came into my ears was her cold answer.

I was irritated by her answer. What did she mean by why did she need to reason to killt? Even if there was a reason, she also couldn't kill anyone casually, alright!

Although I wanted to answer her like this, I didn’t say it for the sake of my life.

"Can you tell me why you want to kill me, at least I want to find it out before I die."

She seemed to have encountered some difficult math problem, after thinking about it for a long time under my nervous gaze, she said.

"Because you are not interesting at all?"

When I heard the answer, I almost puked a mouthful of blood. What the hell was this? According to such a standard, 99% of the people in the world would be killed, right?

"You got the reason now, so you can die."

With that said, she was going to cut off my head with the knife.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

I was so anxious that my raised hands were shaking.

"I don't have so much time to wait for boring people."

"I will show you interesting things!!!"

Before I could think about it, I closed my eyes and shouted out my last hope.

Sure enough, the short knife on my neck stopped.

I slowly opened one eye and looked at the situation before me.

Ye Zi looked at me calmly, as if waiting for me to continue.

Seeing that she finally had the intention to stop for a while, I couldn't help but exhale a long breath of relief.

In just ten seconds, I seemed to be wandering at the gate of hell.

The clothes on my body have long been wet with cold sweat. Whenever I exhaled, I could always feel the cold temperature of the short knife against my throat.

After adjusting my breathing, I barely managed to squeeze a smile.

"Um... can you take this knife away a little bit. I...I'm a little nervous."

I tried to get her to temporarily remove the short knife from my throat.

Unfortunately, Ye Zi didn't seem to want to waste time talking nonsense with me.

"You have three seconds left."

"Alright, alright! I see."

After speaking, I picked up the Post-it note in my hand and said to her.

"Don't dodge it."

With that said, I gently attached the Post-it note to her.

She seemed very confident that I would not be able to harm her, so she stood there and let me put the Post-it note on her arm.

After confirming that the Post-it note had been posted on Ye Zi, I was finally relieved. Fortunately, this woman was arrogant and did not treat me as an equal opponent. In this way, Ye Zi should not see me anymore. Now As long as I approached the hostages quietly and took them out, the task should be able to be successfully completed.

But Ye Zi didn't feel any surprise at my sudden disappearance, she still looked forward with a cold expression on her face.

Seeing that there was no reaction from her, I took two steps back, let my throat leave the position of the knife and walked to Ye Zi's side, trying to bypass her to rescue the two hostages on the ground.

However, as I walked by Ye Zi's side, my footsteps stopped abruptly, and even the cold sweat on my forehead quickly came out again.

Why? You asked. Because the short knife in Ye Zi's hand once again held against my throat impartially.

My pores shrank sharply, and I looked at the short knife that was already in front of my throat in disbelief.

Why? ! Ye Zi should not be able to see me at this time.

The panic spread across my chest. I slowly turned my head to look at Ye Zi. Only then did I realize that she hadn't turned her head, just moved her hand holding the short knife to my throat.

I secretly let out a sigh of relief. I guessed that it was just a coincidence.

While I was comforting myself with such a reason, in the next moment, I clearly understood that it was just my fantasy.

Because Ye Zi turned her head slowly, staring straight into my eyes with her indifferent amber pupils.

"That's it? Anything else?"

She seemed to be able to see me, who was invisible at the moment.

C21

"Can you see me?"

This was the biggest and only doubt in my mind at this time.

This was the first time I had encountered a situation where game items had no effect on other people. If Items had a probability of failure, then my subsequent game process would undoubtedly become very difficult.

But Ye Zi didn't seem to want to help me solve my doubts at all.

"Do you have a problem with your ears? I am asking questions. Do you have any other tricks that are more interesting?"

She stared into my eyes and repeated her question again, the expression on her face did not allow me to doubt it at all.

Although my mind was full of doubts at this time, it seemed that if I didn't answer her questions first, my head would leave my body in the next moment.

"Yes..."

"Then show it."

Her tone was as calm as buying vegetables at a vegetable market.

"At the moment...I can't do it."

I felt very embarrassed to say that I couldn't use other tricks at this time. After all, it had only been a few days after entering the game. There were so many items that would make her feel interesting.

Ye Zi's face showed a slightly disappointed expression, but before Ye Zi could speak, I hurriedly added something.

"But as long as you give me time, I can show you."

Ye Zi raised her eyebrows, seeming to be tempted by my words, then she withdrew the short knife from my neck. She gently shook the hand holding the short knife, but the moment I blinked my eyes, the black and purple short knife had disappeared from her hand.

Seeing this, I was even more uncertain about the origin of the girl in front of me.

"Say......"

I tried to ask something.

"Shut up, did I ask you to speak."

The girl's icy voice interrupted my speech, and I had no choice but to swallow what I wanted to say.

In the silent basement, Ye Zi seemed to think for a while before saying.

"How did you do that just now."

"Eh?!"

I didn't understand what she meant.

"How did you suddenly disappear from my eyes."

Although the tone was still cold, after listening to this tone, I also found that there was a little curiosity in her words this time, although there was only a trace.

‘Hey, didn't you just feel bored and want to kill me? Why are you asking now?’

Of course, I did not say this, because there was a shocking fact before my eyes.

"You can not see me?"

I looked at Ye Zi in shock. After all, she just put the short knife on my neck. If it weren’t for her eyes staring into my eyes, I would have thought that it was just a coincidence.

"What? You don't know the effect of your own magic?"

Ma… Magic...

Hearing her words, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but twitch. In her opinion, this was some kind of magic?

"I know my abilities, but you can see me, right?"

"I can't see you."

What she said made my eyes widen.

"Then you...how did you find me just now."

As I spoke, I stretched out my hand and shook it before her eyes.

"Move away your dirty hands."

She slapped my hand away like a fly.

She could clearly see me!

Just when I wanted to say that, she spoke.

"Didn't I tell you before, your smell is very unique."

Smell? !

I vaguely remembered that she did say yesterday that my smell was very special, but at the time I only thought she was joking.

I hurriedly tried to smell myself, but I didn't smell any strange smell, I really didn't understand what the smell she was talking about.

"That... are there many people in this world who can find me by smelling like you?"

I tentatively asked her. This question was very important for me, because if I encountered someone who could find my position by smell in the next task, then I would be in a very dangerous situation.
