I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 294 Basement

Yan Ru was woken up in the middle of the night by the urge to urinate.

In the first half of the night, in order not to make herself sleepy, she drank a lot of coffee in one breath, and went to the toilet several times at night.

She sat up in distress, and glanced at Feng Yijia beside her.At this time, the other party was sleeping soundly. Half an hour ago, she had just been woken up to accompany her to the bathroom.

Yan Ru was a little conflicted, everyone only slept for three or four hours at night, so it was inappropriate for her to disturb her companions' rest like this.Anyway, the bathroom is downstairs, and the captain Zhu Qingrong and Liu Jigeng should still be watching the night downstairs. After thinking about it, she decided to solve it by herself.

She got up and took a candle from the table to light it, and got out of bed carefully.

Although no cooperative relationship has been established, due to the information provided by Zhu Qingrong yesterday, Lingyun also passed on the information of beware of demons to them.

Going down the stairs, Yan Ru saw the candlelight in the living room on the first floor.

At this time Liu Jigeng was sitting on the sofa with his back facing him.Yan Ru walked down the stairs and greeted him habitually, but the other party ignored her.

After walking around to the front, Yan Ru realized that Liu Jigeng had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, his head resting on the pillow, and his chest breathing steadily and evenly.Yan Ru smiled helplessly, thankfully Zhu Qingrong was not around at this time.

The captain never liked to be alone with other people. Most of the time, he was in his own room, and only occasionally came down to inspect.

Fortunately, now he found out that Liu Jigeng was lazy. If the captain knew that Liu Jigeng was lazy during the night watch, he would definitely be furious because of it.

Thinking of this, Yan Ru hurriedly pushed Liu Jigeng a few times, trying to wake him up.

But soon she discovered that something seemed wrong: Although her breathing and heartbeat were normal, Liu Jigeng slept very deeply, no matter how she called, the other party did not respond at all.

Realizing that something was wrong, Yan Ru immediately went upstairs, wanting to find Zhu Qingrong to check the situation.She knocked on the door and felt that the room was quiet.

"Captain, are you there?"

Yan Ru turned the doorknob while asking.The dark room was empty, but Zhu Qingrong disappeared mysteriously.

Seeing this situation, Yan Ru immediately went back to the bedroom, trying to wake up Feng Yijia.But she is also in the same situation as Liu Jigeng, the two of them have been sleeping soundly, no matter what Yan Ru calls, they can't wake them up.

what happened?Could it be that the companions were attacked in their sleep?

Cold sweat slowly slipped down the forehead, and Yan Ru's breathing became more and more heavy.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the burning sage in the corner, and she suddenly calmed down: No, now there are exorcism props in every corner of the villa, which is said to be much safer than outside.She went up to check the salt pile and other props.These things had reacted the last time the demon appeared.

But to her surprise, this time, there was no abnormality in the prop itself.

"what on earth is it?"

Yan Ru muttered to herself, but at this moment, she suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from downstairs.

Following the source of the sound, she came to the door of the basement near the entrance.

It was only then that Yan Ru realized that the basement door had become slightly half-open at some point.She clearly remembered that shortly after entering the mission, after checking the situation below, the captain had already locked the door with a key.

She went to the door and listened carefully, and found that the movement was indeed coming from below: it seemed that someone was constantly bumping into things, sometimes mixed with indistinct sobs.

The sound of impact was like someone hitting her chest hard with a heavy hammer, cold sweat trickled down Yan Ru's forehead, she swallowed, and tentatively said:

"Captain, is that you?"

However, after hearing his own voice, the movement became louder, as if the people below were asking him for help.

Yan Ru subconsciously grabbed the doorknob and wanted to go down, but soon, she let go of her hand: What if it's a trap?Now that the two companions have fallen into a coma for no reason, and the captain has disappeared, going down by himself is likely to fall into the trap.

But if the person below is the captain, he can't just leave it alone.

Fortunately, her ability can control the spider silk. To be conservative, Yan Ru did not go down in person, but released a strand of silver thread from her palm, extending down the stairs to the basement.

Yan Ru controlled the trajectory of the spider silk, searching for the source of the movement.The structure of the basement is not complicated. Walking down the steps, there is a room with an area of ​​about [-] square meters, and there are many discarded furniture piled up inside.Soon, she felt that the spider silk had touched someone.

The spider silk entwined around the man's body, and in an instant, Yan Ru's hand suddenly pulled back as if it had touched boiling water.

No, that's not the captain!

Today's Zhu Qingrong is just a child less than ten years old.But now, the person at the other end of the spider's thread is clearly an adult when he is groping for a physique!
Yan Ru immediately turned her head to look at the living room, Liu Jigeng was still asleep on the sofa, the person below could not be him.

In other words - there are other "people" in the basement of this villa!

The man kept making indistinct grunts, as if his mouth was blocked with a cloth, and he couldn't yell at all.

It seemed that something was entwined around him, and the struggle of that "person" became bigger and bigger.Yan Ru watched the silver wire in her palm vibrate violently, not only that, there was also a crisp metal sound like an iron chain hitting from the basement.

"Who are you? You... are trapped?!" Yan Ru tried to drag, and while exerting force, she felt that the other party's body was indeed imprisoned by the wall by iron chains.Coupled with her limited strength, Yan Ru couldn't rescue the other party.

what on earth is it?If a demon really appeared, it would not have to use this method to attract its attention.

And through the temptation of the spider's silk, Yan Ru was almost sure that the person locked in the basement was a living person.

As for why he appeared here, and when he was imprisoned, these are the key points that Yan Ru really cares about.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Yan Ru decided to go down and find out.

The old wooden stairs creaked under her steps, and the light of the candle was reflected on the wall. Although Yan Ru couldn't see each other at the moment, she had already found herself in the darkness.

In the corner, the movement of struggling became bigger.

The man's panting sounded very heavy. Although he couldn't hear what the other party was saying, he could be identified as a man through the voice.

Yan Ru stood on the stairs, holding a candle and shining it forward.

With the dim light, she suddenly discovered that a man with his hands and feet bound by iron chains was crawling in the corner.The man looked to be in his forties, with loose hair and an old brown jacket, dirty and dusty.

Yan Ru's body froze immediately, she stopped hesitantly in the middle of the stairs, looked at the person who was going down the stairs in front of her, and didn't dare to approach rashly.

Suddenly, the man raised his head.

Yan Ru was taken aback by the sudden impact. When she stabilized her emotions and looked at the other person, she found that she didn't know the middle-aged man in front of her at all.

The man's mouth was covered with tape, he stared at Yan Ru with wide eyes, the expression on his face was full of horror.

Seeing this situation, Yan Ru manipulated the spider silk and pulled off the tape from the opponent's mouth.

However, before he reported himself, the man yelled at Yan Ru frantically: "Be careful what's behind you!"

"What?" Hearing what the man said, Yan Ru turned her head subconsciously.

　I was so unlucky that my mother opened the door for my bad luck, and my bad luck got home.The newly bought keyboard arrived last night, and the keys failed when I was preparing for the codeword...
