Chapter 761: Chapter 439: Triple Spirits (2)
Seeing no one in the wardrobe, she shook her head and turned around, continuing her search elsewhere and quickly entering the bathroom of the bedroom.
Yan Junze frowned as he watched her retreating figure, his suspicions slowly taking shape.

A moment later, he spoke again.
“Zhuang Wenhui!”
…
“Wenhui!”
The overweight middle-aged man had just set down the pliers he was brandishing; they were still dripping with blood.
“You like to hide, don’t you? Starting now, I’ll let you hide all you want!”
The man cracked a cruel smile, “But don’t let me find you because if I do, you’re going to die a very ugly death. Hmm, this is the first time today, the first time I’ve found you, so I’ll give you a little reward first.”
The pliers fell onto Zhuang Wenhui’s head, who was kneeling on the ground, striking her brow bone with force.
The brow bone split open, blood splattered, Zhuang Wenhui’s head buzzed, and she collapsed to the ground, her consciousness beginning to blur.
She wanted to cry, but the tears wouldn’t come; it seemed she had run out of them.
She wanted to call for help, but she couldn’t make a sound because her throat was dry, parched from not having drunk any water for two days.
Soon after, the man walked to the side where rustling sounds were heard as he appeared to be unzipping his pants.
The sound of urination followed.
Moments later, after zipping up his pants, the man’s mocking voice rang out, “Don’t blame me for not giving you water to drink; it’s you who chose not to. It’s up to you whether you want to die or stay alive.”
With that, the man left with the pliers.
In a daze, Zhuang Wenhui looked up at her washbasin filled with a yellowing, bubbling liquid that was emitting an unbearable smell throughout the room.
Hide, I must hide!
I can’t let him find me!
I have to hide!
…
“Zhuang Wenhui.”
Yan Junze called out twice, but the woman who entered the bathroom never reappeared.
He paused for a moment, then realizing what was happening, he pushed open the wardrobe door and stepped out.
His gaze shifted to the door of the bedroom bathroom and then to Zhou Wenfei, who was lying on the bed.
Approaching the bed, he inspected Zhou Wenfei’s body and found that one of his eyeballs was indeed missing, and there was no breath; his body was ice-cold, confirming he was dead.
“Perhaps…” Yan Junze looked up, exhaling softly, “Zhou Wenfei also played the game of hide-and-seek with Zhuang Wenhui.”
He didn’t move the body on the bed for the time being, as Cao Heng and Gu Dekang were still unaccounted for; perhaps he should complete Zhuang Wenhui’s task first.
He turned and walked towards the bathroom door, shining his flashlight inside to survey the area.
Zhuang Wenhui hadn’t found him just now, but her obsession might have led her to choose to hide once more, so the roles in the game of hide-and-seek could have changed again.
Yan Junze immediately saw a mass of pitch-black hair floating on the surface of the toilet; he didn’t know when Zhuang Wenhui had managed to cram her own grotesque body into the toilet to hide.
Yan Junze thought for a moment but didn’t enter. Instead, he stood at the bathroom doorway and called out, “Zhuang Wenhui, I’ve found you again. You’re hiding in the toilet. Come out.”
The clump of hair moved, but Zhuang Wenhui didn’t appear.
Yan Junze continued, “Although I’ve found you, just like before, I won’t hurt you. You can come out with confidence.”
The hair in the toilet moved again, and then a face emerged, staring in Yan Junze’s direction after revealing most of its features.
Yan Junze even stepped back, opening his arms wide, showing he would not harm her as he watched the inside of the bathroom.
After a while, Zhuang Wenhui’s body twisted, emerging from the toilet in a bizarre posture, her skeleton making cracking sounds as the bent parts slowly returned to normal.
But she didn’t move, remaining defensively on the ground, her head slightly tilted upwards, her hoarse voice bursting from her throat, “You… found me.”
Yan Junze smiled, still standing outside the door, with no intention of entering. Because if he did, it might cause Zhuang Wenhui to panic or become defensive again.
“Still want to play?” He asked softly, not showing an air of superiority but instead showing respect and asking for her consent.
Zhuang Wenhui was taken aback, suddenly bowing her head and curling into a ball, motionless.
A prompt appeared in Yan Junze’s mind at that moment.
[Hide-and-seek, hair-raising (Intermediate), completed, 1200 Different Dimension Energy points received]
However, almost simultaneously as the task completion prompt disappeared, another new task prompt popped up in his mind.
Yan Junze stood still, somewhat surprised, after seeing the new task.
After examining the task information carefully, he began to mutter to himself, “The strangeness lies right here, this house is not haunted by just one entity.”
He felt his hands go cold, as the temperature in the room seemed to drop even further.
Turning his gaze back to the bathroom, Zhuang Wenhui was still lying there as if she had fallen asleep.
But clearly, the atmosphere in the room had changed from before, with the temperature dropping rapidly; Yan Junze could see his own breath now.
Ignoring the motionless Zhuang Wenhui, he turned and left the door of the bathroom, and as he passed the bed, his eyes fell upon it, and he paused.
Now, there was an additional person lying on the bed.
Yan Junze approached for a closer look and immediately recognized the person lying on the bed as Gu Dekang; he recognized him from a photo, and the body shape was easily identifiable.
Gu Dekang’s eyes were open at this time.
