Chapter 8 - Chen's Mansion

Gu yong's voice is very nice and it allowed her to easily establish a good impression. He also acted very calm and sensibly. Hearing her voice, Fan Xiaoying who was originally feeling very nervous couldn't help but relax a little. Using the faint moonlight, she assessed the other four teammates including Gu yong.

At this moment, the wind picked up blowing away the dark clouds obscuring the moon. As the white moonlight shown down illuminating everyone's faces, Fan Xiaoying was able to make out Gu yong's appearance. Seeing it, she couldn't help but be a little stunned.

The young man before her had a slender and tall figure. Under the moonlight, his pale skin looked as if it was almost transparent. Paired with eyes that shone like a jewel and were as dark as the night sky, a small tear mole at the corner of his right eye and slightly raised lips that had a trace of flirtatiousness, he looked stunning to the point that it felt somewhat unreal.

He raised the corners of his lips slightly as his gaze fell onto Fan Xiaoying and he gave her a soft smile and a little nod.

With that smile of Gu yong's, Fan Xiaoying couldn't help but feel her heart race from his handsomeness. A curse word almost left her mouth but fortunately she was able to hold it back in time. She also gave Gu yong a smile and said: "hello."

When he finished saying this, Fan Xiaoying moved her gaze over to the other three teammates. There was one man and two women. Of them, a pair of man and women stood very close and even wore a couple outfit. Clearly, they're a couple. The other woman wore glasses and appeared to be quite docile like a good girl.

The female half of the couple looked over at Gu yong in daze. Her boyfriend noticed it and his expression immediately darkened. He pulled her into his arms and deliberately gave Gu Yong a look. Only now did the woman return to her senses and say a few casual phrases to placate her boyfriend. The boyfriend immediately turned his attention over to her and spouted out cheesy love talk that made Fan Xiaoying shiver.

At that moment, the system started to introduce the story behind the instance.

[This is a very well-known cursed building. It used to be an ancient mansion owned by the noble family of Chen.]

[For hundreds of years, the luxurious and magnificent mansion was like a bright pearl; dreamy and beautiful. It was a place that everyone had longed for, but this stopped being the case twenty years ago.]

[Twenty years ago, the young daughter of the Chen family brought her newlywed husband over to the residence and they became the new owners of the mansion. However, in less than a year, the newlywed couple and all their servants died tragically inside the mansion. The two subsequent owners of this mansion similarly were met with mysterious deaths.]

[Since then, this once glorious mansion had been completely abandoned and horror stories centered around it started circulating around. Soon, it became a taboo existence.]

[As members of the occult club, the five of you are very intrigued by the horror stories surrounding the mansion and have agreed to come together tonight to investigate and reveal the truth behind it.]

[Main task 1: Investigate the truth]

[Main Task 2: Leave the mansion alive.]

[Your special mission: Collect the photo and kiss the boss or vilain. If you don't complete the special task, you will not be able to leave the instance even if you complete the main tasks.]

[The moment you enter the building, the game starts.]

[I wish you a happy game!]

After hearing the tasks announced, the corners of Fan Xiaoying's mouth twitched a few times. ' What happy?' How can she be happy with a garbage special task like that?!

"Can I ask how I should refer to you guys?"

After everyone was done hearing about the instance, Gu yong smiled and spoke up.

The docile woman appeared to be rather introverted and only fidgeted awkwardly without saying anything. The female half of the couple wanted to say something, but she was held back by her boyfriend who just snorted coldly at Gu yong. It appears that he was still unhappy about the earlier incident of his girlfriend staring at Gu yong and he wanted to kick him off his high horse.

"Hi, I am Fan Xiaoying. Um…..I hope we can all cooperate with each other and clear the instance together."

Fan Xiaoying didn't want there to be any conflicts in the team before the game had even started so she took the lead and introduced herself.

"Hello everyone, I am Yang Wei….."

The seemingly docile woman said this in a quiet voice. She can't be more docile and quieter than she is already. Fan Xiaoying thought.

But the next second, Yang Wei suddenly pulled out a long crowbar from inside her backpack. The crowbar was still stained with blood. With a splat, a drop of blood fell to the ground.

Fan Xiaoying: "....."
