She used her es to find a pyer who had previously entered them.
It was a woman around 40 years old, plump in appearance, who managed a rge-scale high-tepany in real life. After years of navigating the business world, she had honed araordinary will far beyond ordinary people.
From what Su Xiaoxiao knew, her social background was also quite plex, belonging to the gray market and starting in the shadows.
But it recisely this person, an old pyer who had repeatedly escaped death from nightmares, who, after entering those people, had bizarrely gone mad not long after.
She could only rely on the care of her family, curled up under a thiket, with tightly closed doors and windows, hiding in her bed, living a miserable life.
Any approach by a stranger, even an unfamiliar sound, would make her tense and nervous. Her trembling lips seemed to mutter things that no one could uand.
Soon after Su Xiaoxiao visited her, she heard that she had died.
The cause of death was a mystery.
It wasn't until much ter that a friend in the police system sent news. The case had been permaly sealed in the department, and even with his authority, he couldn't access aails.
All they knew was that it was very strange—just after perf the autopsy, the old forensic doctor applied to be transferred from his post. After some time, he disappeared without a trace.
Su Xiaoxiao sensed something unusual about it.
She didn't further iigate using her es, nor did she search for the old forensic doctor who might know something.
She was worried she would get involved.
This was not a situation she could test.
Moreover, this mission was plicated not only by a character named Ran, but also by a guy named Hao Shuai.
The shock he gave her was han that from Ran, and perhaps even more so, because in her brother Su An's eyes, the color he represented was even stranger.
When she asked her brother about his judgment on Hao Shuai, Su An remained unusually silent. After a long pause, he slowly extended his hand and poioward the window.
At that time, they were ihe lighthouse, and outside the window, there was a quiet night.
Su Xiaoxiao blinked and then looked at her brother, not uanding his meaning.
But soon, she realized her brother was saying that the man was... bck.
Just like the night outside.
She had never heard of such a color from her brother's perception, and she never expected that bck could exist.
What did bck represent?
Did it imply that his heart was dark, or that his danger level was higher than that of Ran, whose color was deep red? Or perhaps... her brother couldn't see through him?
So he used a very special color to signify it, to distinguish it.
Su Xiaoxiao knew nothing.
But she was sure that this guy named Hao Shuai was not simple because not only she had noticed him, but even Ran, from the Deep Crimson, was very ied in him.
Or perhaps it was mutual vigiween simir beings.
It led her to cooperate with him in ag, trig him and the Fatty beside him into the forest, intending to use the straone sb to kill them.
The weirdness of this mission was beyond doubt. Eveeammates within the mission were not ordinary. Su Xiaoxiao could tell that the biker woman and the rock climber woman, Liang Long, who had already entered misfortuill died despite their extreme alertness.
"Click!"
A strange sound suddenly echoed in the silent stone chamber.
Su An, curled in the er, couldn't help but shiver.
"Click!"
"Click!"
The frequency of the sound grew faster, like dense drumbeats, light yet full of texture, as if something wrinkled suddenly stretched out its body, or like some creature covered in a hard shell shedding its outer yer.
Although this metaphor was stra recisely what Su An, who was already unusual, was thinking at this moment.
He trembled as he looked up, directly meeting a pair of bloodshot eyes.
In the dark er, the old woman stretched her neck, revealing a twisted face, with blood-red eyes fixed on him. Her mouth opened, and a long tongue swirled around her lips.
Her purple-tinged lips were covered in dry, cracked lines, and as her tongue passed over them, blood actually oozed out.
Su An's pupils suddenly tracted.
It’s here!
The strange whale song echoed in his ears again.
It was vast, cold, and eerie, like being submerged uhe ice of the Arctic O, only able to look up at the outside world through a thick ice yer.
But then... the ice yer cracked, and dazzling sunlight seemed to want to flood into his pupils.
The sed, he woke up from the dream, still ione chamber.
The dazzling sunlight was actually just the r fmes burning in the ter of the stone room.
Uhe flickering fmes, Su An slowly shifted his gaze from the old woman to the wall beside her.
There, the shadow of the old woman was reflected.
The shadow, illuminated by the firelight, kept swaying, growing taller and rger.
The earlier "click-click" sounds were made by it. At first, it was the same size as the old woman, but soon it grew to 2 meters, 3 meters, 4 meters... the shadow even exceeded the height of the stone room.
It tilted on the wall, trembling, twisting, exuding a strong ominous st.
What was even stranger was that the old woman remained in pot moving at all, but the shadow... began to approach Su An.
Oep. Two steps.
Two distinctly different colors iwined in Su An's eyes.
One was the old woman's, white and grayish, while the shadow on the wall ure, or rather, a transpareence.
Saying that he saw it with his eyes wasn't quite accurate. For Su An, it was more of a sensation—he felt that the entity that left the shadow on the wall was invisible to the naked eye.
What was it?
He didn't know, but he wasn't afraid, because to him, this being was no different from the fierce tiger he once faced iiger park.
He stood up, straightened his chest, aended his hand toward the empty spa front of him, as if still waiting for that cute big cat to lean its head into his embrace.
Just like in the past, just like when he was younger.
In the warm stone room, only the old woman remained, hiding in a er where the light couldn't reach. There was a fleeting, meaningless gleam in her eyes.

"What's wrong with you?"
Ran narrowed his eyes. He and Su Xiaoxiao, who was leading the way, maintained a distance of about 2 meters, so that in case of any sudden situation, there would be enough time for warning.
But just now, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped without warning.
She clutched her chest, s from her forehead, and her body trembled untrolbly. "What's... what's happening?" She gasped for breath, then as if sensing something, she immediately looked in the dire they had e from. "My brother... he might be in trouble!"
"Impossible," Ran shook his head when he heard her, "You've seen the clues I provided, Miss Su. Your brother... in the short term..."
"It’s not possible," Su Xiaoxiao’s pupils trembled as she swallowed hard. "My brother... something must have happeo him! I feel it."
