  "I have only one question. Why clean up a haunted house and let foreign tourists like us stay here?" Ning stared intently at the woman on the bed.

  Milana bit her lip tightly.

  She originally wanted to remain silent, but when she saw the ancestral tablet in Ning's hand, her whole body couldn't help but tremble!

  "It wasn't our intention... We didn't want it to be like this..."

  Milana's voice was filled with deep guilt and helplessness.

  "But the temple festival is coming soon... If we haven't prepared enough..."

  She had just arrived when she heard the middle-aged man in the room roar, "Milana!"

  "Shut up! Do you want to die?!"

  "How can this be talked about?!"

  The three of them were startled by the middle-aged man's sudden yell.

  They turned to look at him and found his eyes bloodshot, his mental state somewhat abnormal.

  "We can't... This kind of thing... It can't be revealed!"

  "If the Shaman finds out... we're finished!!"

  Mentioning the Shaman, the middle-aged man seemed to have mentioned some taboo.

  He was extremely fearful, his expression almost collapsing.

  Milana, who was about to tell Ning and the others everything, seemed to be awakened by the middle-aged man's roar.

  She bit her lip tightly and stopped talking.

  Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had fallen into a stalemate again, Bai, who had been quietly staying by Ning's side, suddenly pulled out a sharp knife from her pocket!

  There was a name engraved on the knife—Zhi.

  "I've killed enough people outside, so... I don't usually like to kill in the world after entering Blood Gate."

  Bai's voice suddenly became extremely cold, completely different from her usual lazy and casual demeanor!

  Her aura became terrifying, and a thick murderous intent filled the room.

  Even Ning and Liu, who were beside her, were frightened!

  "If we can't find out the truth, we'll die."

  "Since we're all going to die anyway, we might as well kill a few more... as stepping stones!" A

  s she spoke, she walked step by step toward the middle-aged man with the knife.

  The man picked up a wooden bench beside him, intending to fight back.

  However, he obviously underestimated Bai's skills.

  With a slight sideways dodge, the sharp blade in her hand plunged into the middle-aged man's neck, subduing him on the ground!

  The icy coldness of being close to death finally calmed the middle-aged man down.

  He dared not move.

  Ning and Liu were dumbfounded.

  What just happened?!

   She directly subdued an NPC in the Blood Gate with force?

  "Let me tell you, this knife avoided your artery, but if you dare to act rashly, I just need to twist the blade slightly, and you'll be dead!"
