Ponder

Back to the Purple Old Manor, Su Yu continued to walk around the room while looking as if he is in a daze, causing his fans who are watching his livestream to feel distressed for him. Meanwhile, the black fans who were attacking him, and Tang Lele, through the comments section were now gone after Han Yao's younger brother Han Yu suppressed them, including the hot search of Su Yu's livestream.

This is to prevent not only scaring the passerby netizens who are not fond or are afraid of the horror genre but also from ruining Su Yu's name as a horror livestream anchor in case of accidents – which one has already happened after Duan Yuan was taken away by the evil ghost. Meanwhile, Su Yu remained standing there and, in a daze… as if he has lost his soul! After all, Su Yu is just an 'ordinary' human that would be terrified, and he also has 'no abilities' to even defend himself from a supernatural being!

But in fact, Su Yu is noting down in secret the details that he has missed earlier when he and Duan Yuan were inspecting the room from outside. Surely, when investigating, one has to dangle his feet in the water in order to attract sharks*. Now he saw more things that are inside, and also saw some things that he missed seeing earlier.

*one has to put their self in danger in order to see more of things

Earlier, Su Yu and Duan Yuan decided to not enter the room since they know that things are more dangerous on the second floor than the first floor since not only it is a floor above and the only floor that was left for them to investigate to, but also it is harder to escape from the second floor especially that the Purple Old Manor's second floor is slightly higher than the other manors.

If one was to jump down from the window, then they will definitely break a leg, which is dangerous not only to the body but also to their safety since being injured would make it harder to escape from danger, especially when it is the leg or the feet that were injured. Though, it is still questionable whether one has the capability of opening the windows of the Purple Old Manor which were locked from the outside by a plank of wood. Also, you have to ask the evil ghost whether it is willing to let you escape, which is definitely and obviously not. Or else, it wouldn't lock Su Yu and Duan Yuan inside the Purple Old Manor and 'play' with them.

Anyway, it was unknown who did it, but maybe the windows were locked not to prevent the thieves from looting the abandoned manor… instead, they were locked to prevent whatever that is inside from coming out of the manor. And the latter is truer than the former after several news reports of deaths in the areas near the Purple Old Manor which struck terror in the hearts of the people. To which made the people detour from the Purple Old Manor.

Then, there is also the possibility of the evil ghost being on the second floor, to which Su Yu and Duan Yuan found out later was true after it pounced on them both. Unfortunately, in the end, it took Duan Yuan away. If not for the mark that Su Yu left on Duan Yuan earlier that could make him sense Duan Yuan's condition, Su Yu would think that Duan Yuan has died already. After all, Duan Yuan is just an ordinary human and a disabled one at that. It is not only Su Yu, but the online audience thought so too that Duan Yuan is a goner.

Maybe, if Duan Yuan had not been disabled, he could have had a chance, even just a small one, to escape from the evil ghost…

But, Su Yu could sense through the mark that he has on Duan Yuan that the other is still alive. And seemed not injured, too, which is surprising. Aside from the slightly fast heartbeat which must be caused by fear and panic, Su Yu could not sense anything else from Duan Yuan. It seems that the evil ghost did not think much of Duan Yuan's life since it still left Duan Yuan alive. It did not even bite Duan Yuan or cause any injury to the other.

Out of pity for the disabled? Su Yu doesn't know. Maybe, the evil ghost is just thinking if it let Duan Yuan live longer, it could see how long can Duan Yuan live… see how it continues to struggle for life, especially when he is blind. If this is true, then Su Yu can only spit at the evil ghost's disgusting taste. Before thinking about how Duan Yuan will live his life, it better think about on how it will beg for its life later when Su Yu finally decides to end it!

Su Yu took a deep breath as he suppressed his thoughts which make his blood boil again in anger. He can't reveal any flaw right now that would make the evil ghost, as well as the online audience, catch him that he is just acting. In case the evil ghost sees, the evil ghost might instantly end Duan Yuan's life, thus increasing its evil qi again. But since it still hasn't killed Duan Yuan, it means that the evil ghost didn't see the need to increase its power again yet.

And Su Yu has to use this opportunity to find a way how to kill the evil ghost slowly but surely instead of using brute force to kill it! After all, not only does he find it inelegant, but it also uses more power! Su Yu would rather waste his brain cells than his power, especially since his power right now is incomparable to his power when he was still in the immortal world.

Thinking this, Su Yu heaved a deep breath and lowered his gaze to hide the scheming in his eyes.
