Walking into the interior of the mansion, it is completely different from the outside environment.
In the dark night, a terrifying thick fog filled the mountains, and there was a dullness brought by the clouds in the air.
Inside the house, it is warm and dry, and it is a completely quiet and peaceful scene.
The boy led the way in a few steps.
The three of them came to the living room on the first floor.
On the left side of the room, a fire burned brightly in the fireplace.
On the right side of the room are the steps leading upstairs, and there is a table attached to the wall next to it.
On the carpet in the center of the living room, there is a dining table covered with white napkins in advance, as well as steaming soup and bread on it. There are even some sliced meats near the edge of the table.
At first glance, the room, which is not too dark, seems to have no problems at all.
But Ronald and Nessus looked at each other, and the meanings in their eyes were exactly the same.
Quite a dangerous place——
At this moment, the boy leading the way had walked to the wall table next to the stairs on the right, and then skillfully organized the items on it:
"If there are three of you, you can sit down and rest first."
"The food I have here is quite sufficient. Considering that we have to face the dangers outside together, we must replenish our strength as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Ronald and Nessos could react, Thomson, as if frightened, shouted:
"You don't think we are fools!"
"How can a normal person eat these things if they are still pretending at this time?"
"No!"
"It's better to ask, what kind of person would prepare food in advance at a time like this!"
"..."
Seeing Thomson shouting out his opinions as if venting his anger.
The air in the living room solidified instantly, as if the warm fire could not stop the temperature from falling.
This guy is so reckless——
Although what Thomson said was correct, the timing of his opening was far from ideal.
Directly pointing out the suspicious aspects of the other party is tantamount to directly antagonizing the relationship between the two parties.
When surrounded by external crises, this is definitely the stupidest choice.
After a few more breaths, the boy slowly put down the teapot in his hand, and then turned around to face the three of them.
The young face was full of confusion, and there was no trace of any embarrassment in it.
"Sir, what are you talking about?"
"In this critical moment, only sincere cooperation can solve the problem together..."
"You can do it!"
Suddenly, Thomson interrupted the boy's explanation.
The middle-aged businessman, who was temporarily out of danger, seemed to be in control of the matter at the moment. He even took a step forward and stood in front of Ronald and Nessos, protecting them behind him.
"Tell me your conspiracy!"
"Otherwise I won't let you go!"
"..."
Too expressive...
The successive shocking encounters have obviously brought this middle-aged man's emotions to the edge of collapse.
This kind of strength is, in a sense, his subconscious protecting himself.
Faced with this situation, Ronald and the two looked at each other quite tacitly from behind.
Nessus shook his head slightly, the meaning in his solemn eyes clear.
——He doesn’t want Thomson to continue to disrupt the situation.
Before getting the most basic information about this 'boy', he had to stop Thomson from causing trouble.
Ronald immediately shook his head at Nessus.
At the same time, he secretly drew two arcs with his fingers, dividing the boy and the three of them into two sides.
After all, Thomson was one of his own who escaped with them.
Compare this to a boy who can tell the problem at a glance, and it’s even unclear whether he is a boy...
After all, the words have been made clear, let Thomson continue.
To take a step back, this kind of provocation with a clear stance and close to hysterical mode will definitely elicit some useful information.
Nessus frowned.
He could indeed understand Ronald's thoughts.
However, for safety reasons, he still did not want to take risks. Thomson's condition was too dangerous and things could easily become completely uncontrollable.
It's a pity that he didn't wait for him to make a decision——
A new incident has already begun in silence.
After hearing Thomson's words, the boy looked at Thomson with a low look in his eyes, and the confusion on his face gradually solidified.
Finally, as the corners of his mouth rose, a helpless and sarcastic smile emerged.
"I said......"
"You guy, why are you so ignorant?"
"Wouldn't it be nice to sit down in peace, have a delicious meal before death, and finally die without pain?"
"It's really a headache...eh?"
Just as he was about to do something, the expression on the boy's face suddenly changed, and he cast his gaze towards the roof.
"Forget it, you ordinary people can't do anything anyway."
"Just wait here to die slowly."
The three were simply sentenced to death, and the boy's figure gradually faded in the air. Finally, like a translucent ghost in a movie, he leaned back and lay down against the wall behind him, and then disappeared into the wall.
——In the empty living room.
At this moment, it became a situation with only three people again.
"Gudong——"
Seeing what happened in front of him, Thomson's eyes widened and he swallowed a mouthful of nervous saliva.
Pointing to the place where the boy disappeared, he asked with a trembling tone:
"he and I......"
"this......"
"How can this be?"
Unlike Thomson who was in shock.
Ronald and Nessus' reactions were straightforward.
With clear eyesight, Nessus took two steps to the wall where the boy had just disappeared, and almost put his face on it to study it.
What he cares about is the way the other person disappears.
Ronald began to wander back and forth in the living room, exploring the surrounding environment while ensuring that he did not lose sight of his companions.
————
A few minutes later, when Thomson still couldn't explain what he saw in front of him.
Ronald finished his exploration and sat generously on the chair in the living room.
"Naissus, how is your research going?"
"The situation here is not very good."
Hearing Ronald's inquiry, Nessos stood up and came over, shaking his head regretfully:
"The walls and floors are fine, and there are no residues left by similar hallucinogenic substances. That guy was able to disappear before our eyes purely relying on his own ability."
"What about you? Did you gain anything?"
"..."
After waving to Nessus, Ronald showed the matchbox he had just found from the fireplace.
"One piece of good news, one piece of bad news."
"The good news is that this house still shows signs of recent habitation. The matches I just found in the fireplace still look new."
"There are still traces of habitation recently..." After pondering for less than three seconds, Nessos continued to ask, "What about the bad news?"
"..."
"bad news......"
"According to what I just observed, the number of 'people' in this room is definitely not less than five."
Hearing this result, Nessos's frowning eyebrows became even stiffer.
"Can it be guaranteed to be accurate?"
Ronald nodded confidently:
"The indentations left by the chair legs on the floor, the size and use of the clothes hangers on the porch, and the amount of dishes washed were all evidence for me."
“You basically can’t go wrong.”
"So what we have to face should be at least five people including two to three little guys..."
Boom——
Suddenly, a loud bang exploded overhead.
Ronald didn't even finish explaining his findings before he paused.
