After the extremely weird-looking butler Xiaolu led everyone to the guest room, he stopped and said in a voice without any strength:

"This is the second floor. There are four guest rooms, but you want five rooms, so there is still one missing. You can choose one of you to share a room with me on the third floor."

Fan Ren didn't hesitate at all. He turned to the other people and said, "I'll go and you can rest on the second floor."

"Are you sure, Brother Black Sheep? If not, I'll stay in another room with you." Chen Tianyu was still very loyal at this time. After all, Fan Ren was always suspicious before.

"I'm not a child, I'll be fine by myself." Fan Ren decisively rejected the proposal.

"All right."

Fan Ren then looked at the pale and almost deathly face of the housekeeper Xiao Lu:

"Are there any restaurants or anything like that in this town?"

"Yes, but Madam has already given instructions in advance. You are distinguished guests, and the room rate you paid already includes meals. Dinner will be served around six o'clock, and I will knock on your door to remind you.

"

The butler Xiao Lu had the same professional smile on his face as Xiao Hong, looking very rigid.

"Of course, if you, the guest, would rather go out to eat, that's fine. There are no hard and fast requirements. There is only one restaurant in Yin Yang Town, which is about ten meters away from our residence and turn right."

"I understand, then please take me to the room on the third floor first. I want to take a rest." Fan Ren said.

"Okay." Xiao Lu, the housekeeper, bowed and made a gesture of invitation, and then walked towards the third floor.

Soon, Fan Ren walked up the wooden stairs and followed the man in front of him to the third floor.

Arriving in front of a large room, housekeeper Xiaolu stopped again:

"This room used to belong to the eldest young master, but it is now free. The smaller room on the other side belongs to the young master. Guest, please choose one."

Fan Ren did not answer immediately, but said doubtfully:

"Under normal circumstances, even if a child at home goes out, it is impossible to rent out the room where he lives. If the child suddenly comes back one day and finds that his room is occupied, wouldn't it be strange?

"

"The eldest young master and the young master have settled outside and will not come back again." Xiaolu, the housekeeper, kept smiling.

"Won't you come back?" Fan Ren raised his eyebrows, but he didn't continue to ask, "Okay, I'll choose this big one."

"The mattresses in all the rooms have been made in advance. You can just check in. Guest, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Xiao Lu, the housekeeper, said.

"Well, I really have nothing to do. Please lead the way." Fan Ren said calmly.

The housekeeper Xiaolu was speechless, nodded slightly, and walked down the stairs to the third floor.

Listening to the footsteps and looking at the other person's thin back, Fan Ren frowned.

After the housekeeper Xiao Lu completely disappeared from sight, he opened the door and went in.

Walking into this large room, Fan Ren smelled a hint of old decay, a smell that would only appear in a house that had not been lived in for a long time.

This room is about thirty square meters, with simple decoration and a large bed beside the window. There are no electrical appliances in it. Apart from the bed, it is a set of tables, chairs and a wardrobe.

The curtains hanging on the windows are also pure black without too many patterns. It seems that the original owner is a person who likes minimalist style.

These furniture are all made of rosewood, with smooth surface and fine texture.

There is an inkstone and matching brushes on the table, but there is nothing else superfluous.

After scanning, he locked the door. Fan Rencai showed signs of fatigue and slowly sat down on the soft bed.

From the moment he entered this house, his body had been tense, and his instinct told him that there was a huge danger here.

The reason why Fan Ren deliberately exposed his money was naturally not to show off, but to test the mayor to see if he was the kind of person who would kill for money. After all, the decoration of this house was too luxurious, even for the town mayor.

It is unlikely that I will have so much money to spend on decorating my house.

As for the oppression and corruption mentioned by Chen Tianyu, it is even more impossible. This town is obviously very backward and poor, and it is still in a mountainous area. No matter how corrupt it is, it will never go anywhere.

So Fan Ren naturally suspected that the mayor had done something to make money or kill someone.

However, when Fan Ren took out the money and gave it to the other party and carefully observed the change in his expression, the mayor did not show any evil thoughts and behaved very normally, even accepting less money.

But this did not dispel Fan Ren's suspicion. In this era, it is impossible for anyone to keep a calm expression when faced with such a large amount of cash. They must be at least as surprised as those on the filming team.

Not only the mayor, but also the mayor's wife and servants showed no expression when facing the cash Fan Ren took out, as if the currency was just a pile of useless paper.

This made Fan Ren feel very inconsistent.

Coupled with the conversation with Xiao Lu, the housekeeper just now, he felt that something was wrong even more.

Even if a child gets married and starts a career, it is impossible for him to never go home to visit his parents. If a child has a falling out with his parents, it can still be explained.

But judging from what the housekeeper Xiao Lu meant, it was that neither of the children would come back, which is a bit intriguing.

These were actually things that happened in other people's homes. Fan Ren just felt strange. What made him completely think that there was something wrong with this family was the last words of the housekeeper Xiaolu.

There are six rooms in total, which correspond to the six of them.

And Zhao Xuelin never mentioned how many companions he had, so why did this family just arrange the bedding in all the rooms in advance?

The guest room was tidied up normally, but even the two master bedrooms were tidied up, which seemed to be wrong. This family obviously did not rent a house specifically for tourists.

It was impossible that Zhao Xuelin was looking for a place to stay. A passerby happened to be in a bad mood and didn't want to answer. The mayor's wife happened to see it and decided to provide a house. Finally, she guessed the number of people correctly and managed to take care of all six rooms.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! A coincidence is normal, but when several coincidences happen, it is no longer a coincidence, but deliberate.

So the only explanation is that when they took the first step into the town, they were already targeted.

Everything is just a forced arrangement.

Combined with the plant in the center of the yard that made Fan Ren see white air, he understood that there was something wrong with this family and even this town.

Rubbing his temples that were slightly taut due to overthinking, Fan Ren clicked on the Eye of Imprint app on his phone, and then clicked on his personal situation.

[The Chosen One: Fan Ren]

[Level: Blue 2000/3000 experience]

[Personal panel values: Intelligence 8, Strength 5, Speed ​​4, Mental Power 8]

[Props: Everlasting Candle, Eternal Gun-Black, Awakening Water. Backpack Location: 3/5]

[Points:400]

[Sanity value: 65%]

Sure enough, as he expected, after seeing the white gas emitted by the strange plant, his sanity dropped again.

65% is already close to the bottom line of 50%.

Fan Ren did not hesitate and clicked on the refreshing water that he had exchanged for one thousand points.

This Awakening Water is a prop that can restore sanity points. It has levels. Different levels correspond to different points. However, one thousand points can be exchanged for the lowest level, which can only restore 10% of sanity points.

His current condition is already very bad, even if it is only 10%, it must be used.

With the click, a message box pops up:

"Are you sure you want to use the Awakening Water? This item is a disposable item: yes, no."

He pressed his finger on the yes option, and at the same time, the value in the sanity box began to rise, rising to 75%.

Fan Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was still a little afraid of the consequences of his sanity falling below 50%.

As for the additional 100 points spent, they were all used to exchange currency.

Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, Fan Ren lay back.

Closing your eyes and relaxing on the bus has no effect at all, because the mountain road is too bumpy.

He lay on the bed like a Chinese character, emptying his head and slowly closing his eyes.

After sleeping for more than two hours, Fan Ren was awakened by a knock on the door.

He sat up from the bed nervously. After more than two hours of deep sleep, his whole body had returned to normal.

I clicked on the phone screen and looked at the time. It was now 6:02.

The person who wanted to knock on the door was the housekeeper Xiao Lu, who came to ask him to come down for dinner.

But out of caution, Fan Ren still asked:

"who is it?"

Butler Xiaolu's voice came from outside the door: "It's me, the guest, and it's time to eat."

After confirming that it was correct, Fan Ren opened the locked door, and a pale face came into view:

"I won't eat. I want to go to the town for a walk first."

"Okay." Butler Xiao Lu smiled.

"Wait, let's go down together."

Butler Xiaolu nodded and stood outside the door holding a big red lantern. He looked very much like a person from ancient times.

It gets dark very early in remote mountainous areas and it rains. Even though it's only six o'clock in the afternoon, the setting sun has not yet revealed its light from the dark clouds.

Turning to look at the rain that was getting smaller but still falling outside the window, Fan Ren closed the door;
