Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

Chapter 83 The Special Abilities of the Annex

This incident can be summarized as a minor issue meeting a major one.

"Little Nerve" refers to Yuri, a person who is fascinated by the occult and even deliberately contracts various germs in order to experience the feeling of psychic communication.

As a respectable Russian noblewoman, the old lady obviously wouldn't allow such an oddball to appear in her family. The relationship between mother and son deteriorated further, and Yuri became increasingly withdrawn.

Belyak was a parishioner who helped copy documents at the church. He was isolated because of his albinism, but he was deeply knowledgeable in religious studies and mysticism.

Their shared interests and experiences quickly brought them together, and Belyak became Yuri's teacher.

Zheng Jingyin sneered: "But personally, I think this person may have coveted the Yuri family's wealth and then bewitched Young Master Yuri."

Shen Mingchao's expression was strange. "It sounds a bit unbelievable. The logic of a lunatic is indeed beyond the comprehension of normal people."

"There's nothing incomprehensible about this."

Black Bear suddenly spoke up, his large hand mercilessly ruffling Qi Qiu's hair: "Everyone has a chance of going astray in this world. Besides, what I like most are these kinds of mentally unstable brats."

Qi Qiu: "..."

As they spoke, the car arrived at the villa on the edge of Lake Kawaguchi. After everyone got out of the car, they discovered that the house was composed of a group of buildings, and the whole thing looked like a huge ancient temple.

Hei Xiazi greeted them and went to scout ahead.

"Blackie, he..."

"Don't worry, he'll be fine before dawn." Xie Yuchen turned to Shen Mingchao, her tone gentle: "Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"

Since the other party said so, Shen Mingchao felt relieved.

After thinking for a moment, her eyes lit up: "How about ramen? I saw a ramen shop in the car just now."

When she watched Naruto, she really craved the Ichiraku Ramen that Naruto ate.

"I understand." Xie Yuchen then looked at Qi Qiu. "And you?"

"....."

Qi Qiu stood there blankly, as if he hadn't heard Jie Yuchen's question.

Shen Mingchao patted Qi Qiu's shoulder lightly, and Qi Qiu suddenly came to his senses and quickly waved his hand.

"I'm fine with anything, I'm not picky."

Qi Qiu's behavior was somewhat unusual, but Xie Yuchen didn't ask any further questions. He just exchanged a glance with Zheng Jingyin and said, "Thank you for your help."

Zheng Jingyin nodded, looked down and sent a message on his phone, then led the three to the guest rooms where they could rest.

The guest rooms are on the third floor of the building and are in a typical Japanese style. There is also a large balcony from which you can see the entire complex.

Only a few lights are on now, the house is hidden in darkness, like a lurking beast, exuding a sense of oppression.

The ramen was quickly bought back.

While the three of them were eating ramen, Xie Yuchen's earpiece suddenly made a sound.

The voice on the other end was Hei Xiazi's teasing: "You guys are eating already?"

Xie Yuchen replied indifferently, "You discovered it so quickly?"

"What are you eating?" Black Bear asked, seemingly unrelated to the question.

"Miso ramen! Mr. Blackie, we saved one for you." Shen Mingchao leaned over and said.

The person on the other end seemed to chuckle. "Hopefully, the noodles will still be warm when this is all over."

Hei Xiazi's voice was devoid of any emotion. He had lived a long life and experienced more than ordinary people, which made him more sensitive to certain auras.

From the moment he stepped into the villa, he had a bad feeling. He always felt that this matter would not be easily resolved.

"It won't be long," Qi Qiu suddenly said.

He has a small appetite and can't eat much. After feeling full, he wiped his mouth with a tissue to indicate that he had finished eating.

Hei Xiazi laughed upon hearing this: "I hope so."

After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, it was time to get down to business. Xie Yuchen couldn't help but ask Qi Qiu, "Ever since we got out of the car, you've seemed a bit off. Tell me, what's wrong?"

Qi Qiu sighed: "Yuri is dead. I only realized this when I was near the house."

"What?!" Shen Mingchao exclaimed in surprise.

"According to the divination, Yuri committed suicide. In his last moments, he believed in an ethereal god, thinking that he was making a sacrifice, and thus gained a sense of spiritual satisfaction."

"Have they gone mad to this extent?" Shen Mingchao exclaimed, then realized something was amiss: "Since Yuri is dead, why would Belyak want to harm his brother?"

Qi Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps they want to use blood ties to perform some forbidden techniques that involve exchanging lives for lives."

Xie Yuchen then asked, "So this villa is special, right? Yuri offered sacrifices here, Belyak returned here to cast spells, and you also said that this is the location of the exotic fragrance."

Qi Qiu was surprised by Xie Yuchen's keen insight and chuckled, "Master Xie is indeed a clever man. Yes, this villa is quite special."

"There exists an evil god here who can see lost things. We need to use the evil god's power to find that last box of exotic fragrance."

"But for most people it's a trap. If they don't leave the villa immediately after seeing the lost item, they will be possessed and turn into monsters, eventually becoming nourishment and sacrifices for the evil god."

"Except for you—"

Qi Qiu suddenly stared intently at Shen Mingchao, her tone unwavering and resolute: "Everyone can be possessed by evil spirits, but you, sister, cannot. The evil god cannot harm you. In other words, only you can obtain that box of exotic incense."

"Me?" Shen Mingchao was somewhat surprised, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but understand. She wasn't from this world, so the evil gods of this world were naturally ineffective against her.

"So what do we do now?" Shen Mingchao drew his knife in a flash. "Go find the evil god, threaten it, and kill it if it doesn't give me the incense?"

"That's also acceptable."

"Huh?" She was just talking nonsense.

Qi Qiu continued, "The problem now is that I can't find the room where the evil god is. There seems to be a force here that keeps interfering with my judgment. I think the evil god only allows its followers to find it."

"However," Qi Qiu suddenly smiled mysteriously, "I already have a way to break this deadlock."

The conversation ended abruptly there.

A strange male voice drifted from outside the balcony: "Are you also the people the old lady hired to protect Yuri?"

Everyone turned around and saw a person standing on the balcony of the room next to theirs.

The man was smoking, wearing sportswear, extremely thin, with a buzz cut, and his skin was so white it was almost transparent, a deathly pale color, and even his eyes were pink.

These are all physical signs unique to albinism, and the person in front of me is the murderer—Belyak.

The man opposite him was about to continue speaking when someone caught his attention, and he began to tremble uncontrollably, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

"Yuri?!"
