The true heiress felt a pang of heartache, and the crazed villains panicked.

Chapter 125 If Master Lin can't handle it, we can only commit suicide together.

“Everyone who goes to the basement will be blindfolded,” Ding Xiaoxue explained.

Lin Sui was not surprised and reached out his hand, saying, "Then tell me about how you went in and out of the basement."

“We would be blindfolded in the villa and led around. I don’t know exactly how far we went, but there was a section of the road that didn’t have a marble floor like the ones in the villa. It was covered with weeds, vines, and gravel. Anyway, the road was very uneven…”

After listening to Wang Meilan's recollection, without Lin Sui even needing to do any calculations, Yu Cinian chuckled and said, "The basement entrance is outside the villa, no wonder we can't find it."

"The owner of this villa is quite cautious." Si Xingran chewed on a dried fish.

"Oh, right." Ding Xiaoxue seemed to remember something, "I also smelled a stench, like, like one of those dry toilets in the countryside, with piles of excrement and urine..."

"Ugh!" Si Xingran spat out the dried fish she had just chewed. "Big sister, you can say whatever you want, but you don't have to describe it in such detail, do you?"

Yu Cinian's smile froze; he couldn't stay a second longer and quickly went upstairs.

He needs to go wash his ears right away.

Lin Sui, after finishing the calculations, also had a lot to say.

Who would have thought that?

This appearance aroused great curiosity in Lu Xiang and Tang Xi.

Lu Xiang: "So where exactly is the entrance?"

Li Ye, who had previously been indifferent and blindly followed the organization, quietly perked up his ears.

Lin Sui waved his hand, seemingly unwilling to discuss further: "Let's get some rest for the night and recharge our energy so we can explore new maps tomorrow."

【You even manage to make a basement entrance seem so mysterious, you're truly my goddess wife [smug]】

[Seriously, besides harboring a criminal organization, what's the purpose of this island? It's inhabited entirely by women; it doesn't seem like a good place.]

[And who is this ghost, Mr. Bi?]

[Wasn't Mr. Bi described as a great philanthropist in his diary? Could he be the kind of person who specifically helps women?]

[Ahhhh, can we fast forward to the second day? I really want the secret to be revealed!]

Ignoring the netizens' concerns, Lin Sui said she would decisively go upstairs the next day.

Before returning to her room, she glanced unintentionally at Wang Meilan and Ding Xiaoxue's faces and paused for a moment.

Although the criminal organization was destroyed, the deathly aura on the two men's faces did not dissipate.

Especially at this moment, the deathly aura was extremely dense.

It seems that without external help to get rid of Wang Meilan and Ding Xiaoxue, a certain vengeful spirit couldn't hold back any longer.

Perhaps, she will have the opportunity to meet him tonight.

Lin Sui thought for a moment, then took out two talismans and handed them to Wang Meilan and the other woman: "Take these, they'll save your lives."

This is Master Lin's talisman...

Completely unaware of the approaching danger, the two were overjoyed and accepted the gift with profuse thanks.

At midnight, the night was deep and all was quiet.

Lin Sui, who was fast asleep, suddenly had a dream.

In her dream, a raging fire burned, its scorching flames licking at her feet and slowly spreading upwards, engulfing her entirely.

Lin Sui opened his eyes, feeling the surging burning heat within his body, and calmly gazed at the dark void: "You've become a demon, and this is all the tricks you have?"

Tangxi, who was in the next bed, was not a heavy sleeper.

Hearing this in a daze, she, who had already removed her makeup and covered her head with a blanket, sat up with a start and turned to rush onto Lin Sui's bed: "Sui, Sui!"

Lin Sui quickly drew talismans with one hand, and with the other hand, he gently patted her back to comfort her.

Once the talisman was quickly completed, she struck the void with her palm.

"Ah!" A scream faded into the distance.

At the same time, the lights were turned on brightly.

Tang Xi froze, almost instinctively lifting Lin Sui's arm and burying her face in her armpit.

Lin Sui: "..." Luckily, she doesn't have body odor.

Lin Sui is both funny and soft-hearted.

She gently pulled the blanket over Tangxi's head, and Tangxi's stiff body slowly relaxed.

From the moment Lin Sui spoke until the vengeful spirit was repelled, the entire process took only a dozen seconds. The air was filled only with the scorching heat of fire, and there was nothing else unusual.

After turning on the lights, Li Ye and the others quickly went to Lin Sui's bedside: "Are you alright?"

Lin Sui: "He's the one who's in trouble."

With just one simple sentence, everyone's anxiety, which had lasted for less than half a minute, was instantly put at ease.

"Too."

Si Xingran covered her mouth and yawned, muttering sleepily, "If even Master Lin can't handle this weird thing, we'll probably have no choice but to die together with him."

As he spoke, he poked the bulging blanket next to Lin Sui: "Little Potato, are you so scared that you crawled into your bed?"

Under the blanket, Tangxi, who lived in her own world, puffed out her cheeks and twisted them unhappily.

Lu Xiang glanced at her and slapped Si Xingran's hand: "What are you doing, go to sleep."

"Will that thing come back?" Yu Cinian asked with a smile, casually touching the knife.

Lin Sui shook his head: "No, he's afraid that if he stays too long, I'll find his true form by following his aura, and he won't dare to make any rash moves."

Upon hearing this, Si Xingran decisively pounced back onto the bed and started snoring in less than a second.

"Since everything's alright, let's turn off the lights." Lu Xiang glanced at Tang Xi again, noticing that only her fluffy hair was showing, and she seemed to want to hide her whole face inside Lin Sui's body. She couldn't help but say to Li Ye.

Li Ye glanced at Tang Xi and Lin Sui, then turned off the lights as instructed.

The room quickly returned to silence.

Tangxi then quietly slipped back into her blanket and curled up into a ball.

The next morning, as soon as Lin Sui opened the door, he saw Wang Meilan and Ding Xiaoxue standing at the door, still in shock.

Wang Meilan: "Master Lin, the talisman paper you gave us has turned into black ash."

Lin Sui: "It's alright, I just helped you avoid a disaster."

Ding Xiaoxue exclaimed in panic, "So, so last night wasn't a dream, he came, he came, right?"

Clearly, like Lin Sui, they were consumed by flames in their sleep.

Without the talisman Lin Sui gave them, they would have silently burned to death, turning into a handful of black ash just like the talisman.

What's terrifying is that no one noticed their brush with death last night; with such a terrifying ability, it's truly useless for them to escape anywhere.

Thinking of this, Wang Meilan bowed deeply to Lin Sui: "Thank you, Master Lin."

Lin Sui accepted the gift without hesitation.

The vengeful spirits have already broken through to become demons and are no longer bound by the Yin Gathering Formation. If they had truly withdrawn yesterday, even with her life-saving talisman, their fate would have been death.

At the breakfast table, Lin Sui thought about where they were going later and gently persuaded Yu Cinian: "We're just looking for clues, we won't do anything behind your back. You can stay here and wait for us."

"It's okay, I've got everything ready." Yu Cinian smiled and took out a set of surgical protective clothing.

Lin Sui: "...Your equipment is quite complete. Do you need it to slay a pig?"

“Of course.” Yu Cinian’s eyes crinkled into a smile. “It’s no less than a surgery, is it?”

Lin Sui was speechless.

“I’ve also prepared a set for you, squad leader, would you like it?” Yu Cinian asked again.

Lin Sui found it troublesome and refused.

Yu Ci Nian was deeply saddened.

The area outside the villa was overgrown with weeds and covered with thorns, making it almost impossible to find a place to put one's feet.

However, this small problem was no challenge for Li Ye. With his mountain-like muscular physique, he simply paved a path for the people behind him.

Following the villa's outer wall all the way to the backyard, and then walking another ten or twenty meters, a cement slab hidden under fallen leaves, withered branches, and weeds comes into view.

The cement slab was four meters long and one and a half meters wide. Even Li Ye couldn't help but twitch his face when it appeared in such a place.

Si Xingran turned around and started tearing off Yu Cinian's protective suit: "Good brother, hurry up, let's share the good times!"

Wearing a mask and a head covering, completely wrapped in protective clothing, Yu Cinian kicked him without hesitation.

Si Xingran was agile and dodged with a twist of his body.

Then she leaned closer to Lin Sui and asked incredulously, "Are you sure the basement entrance is here?"

"Are you questioning me?" Lin Sui glanced at him sideways.

"No, I'm questioning the world," Si Xingran said expressionlessly, his face darkening. "The entrance is built under a septic tank—is that something a human would do?"

After these words were spoken, netizens fell silent.

"...Stop messing around, I'm still eating breakfast."

[That's good, consider it a way to lose weight.]

[Hahahaha, septic tank! No wonder our little one is still wrapped up so tightly in this heat; he was right.]

Don't you find it chilling to think about? To prevent anyone from discovering the basement, they went so far as to build the entrance in such a place...

As the cement slab was lifted, a foul, indescribable stench, untouched for a long time, wafted out, almost making one want to vomit.

Fortunately, Yu Cinian was kind enough to prepare five extra deodorizing masks with the smell of disinfectant.

Si Xingran didn't care that using his things would kill people. He snatched one and covered his mouth and nose, only then feeling that he had finally come back to life.

Lin Siyao's team didn't receive the same treatment; they could only cover their mouths with their hands to try and reduce their breathing rate.

Perhaps it was the differential treatment that made Xu Haize feel resentful, and he couldn't help but question, "How could there be a basement entrance in a place like this? Lin Sui, are you doing this on purpose?"

"Don't believe me?" Si Xingran raised an eyebrow and gestured towards the cement slabs. "Then why don't you go and lift them up one by one and verify it yourself to slap Master Lin in the face?"

Beneath the cement slab are four more cement slabs of varying sizes, which separate the septic tanks.

Xu Haize immediately backed away, his face almost turning purple with embarrassment.

Lin Sui ignored him and pointed to the leftmost cement slab. Li Ye stepped forward and lifted it up without her having to say anything.

A locked iron gate appeared before everyone's eyes.

The lock on the door was an old-fashioned key lock, long since rusted, which Li Ye kicked open.

With a creak, the iron gate opened downwards, revealing a staircase leading underground.

Duan Xuchi's expression was serious: "As expected, there is a basement."

Lin Siyao's eyes flickered slightly, and she clenched her hands in resentment.

Why, why didn't the system tell her such an important thing?

The basement's electrical circuits were old and the lights wouldn't turn on, leaving it completely dark, with only the camera robot providing illumination.

Where the light shines, the first thing that catches the eye is a spacious living room.

The room is fully furnished with a coffee table, sofa, television, and other amenities.

Next to the living room are the kitchen and dining room, with a layout almost identical to that of a villa.

Several magazines were scattered on the coffee table. Lin Sui picked one up and glanced at it, noticing a line of crooked writing on the corner of one of the pages.

—I can go home in a month. I hope everything goes well. I wonder how much money Mr. Bi will reward me?

"It's a scam. She can't go back, and she can forget about getting her money back."

Lin Sui was watching when he heard Wang Meilan grit her teeth and say...

Lin Sui remained noncommittal and flipped through other magazines.

Perhaps the people staying here are too bored, because a few sentences written in different handwritings have also appeared in other magazines one after another.

—I took a lot of medicine and the injections hurt a lot, but it doesn't matter. As long as I can have money to buy a house for my son, this little bit of pain is nothing.

—Once I have money, I'm going to get a divorce!

Mr. Bi said that for my health, he would let me rest here for two months, still covering all my food and lodging, and even bought me a lot of nutritional supplements. He is such a good person.

Mr. Bi said that the more people I did, the more money I would make, and asked me to stay and continue, but I hesitated.

After finishing reading, Lin Sui put down the magazine and walked through the living room to a corridor.

There are more than a dozen rooms on each side of the corridor.

Like the small suites on the second floor, these rooms also retain traces of the life that once existed there.

There were no makeup mirrors, no skincare or cosmetic products, and no pretty clothes; all they had were loose-fitting plus-size women's clothing.

Lin Sui glanced at each room briefly, finally arriving at a double metal door at the far end.

However, the world behind the door was also wiped out by the fire.

Only a few bare metal-framed beds stood forlornly on either side.

"This was used as a medical room; injections and medications were all done here," Wang Meilan explained, then added with some confusion, "How did it get burned down too?"

Lu Xiang scoffed: "Just destroy the evidence."

Lin Sui didn't linger. He turned around and walked back, calculating as he went.

Then, she stopped in front of the room marked 104.

She had pushed the door open when we arrived, and the room looked no different from the others.

Lin Sui stepped inside, looked around, and his gaze fell on a low cabinet in the corner.

The cabinet door was clearly unlocked, yet it couldn't be opened.

When I brushed my palm over it, there were no patterns or formations.

Lin Sui thought for a moment, then reached out and put her index finger to her lips, about to bite her fingertip, when her arm was suddenly pulled.

The next second, a white, delicate finger pried her hand away and brought it to her lips: "Bite me!"

Lin Sui looked at Tang Xi, who was squatting beside her, and said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Only my blood will work, yours won't."

“You…try!” Tangxi shook her head with a tense little face and stubbornly stretched out her hand.

Lin Sui said helplessly, "Then you can bite it yourself. I can't bring myself to do it."

Tangxi tilted her head and thought about it, and it made sense.

Even if she were to bite Sui Sui, no, even if Sui Sui were to bite Sui Sui, she wouldn't be able to bear it.

So she withdrew her hand and bit her fingertip without a second thought.

Blood beads surged instantly.

Lin Sui looked away, her hands moving swiftly.

She quickly dipped her hand in Tangxi's blood, drew a spell on the door with one hand, and pinched her fingertips with the other to stop the bleeding.

Lin Sui was prepared to try again.

The reason I tried it was because I saw that Tangxi was too persistent.

However, with a low shout, "Open!"

The cabinet door actually opened.

"Ha!" Tang Xi couldn't bring herself to look happy, but she couldn't help but let out a laugh.
