Chapter 235: Completely Unleashed Rampage

Walking into the Haunted Mansion.

Xiao Yu and Wang Dong felt a twinge of unease.

It’s a perfectly normal reaction when faced with the unknown.

Even if you know there are no real ghosts inside.

Yet under such a gloomy, dark setting, human fear can still be awakened.

That’s just the hallmark of the Haunted Mansion…

Fear arises from our lack of understanding, uncertainty, and ignorance.

Simply put, humans can easily be afraid of things they rarely encounter or don’t understand.

As he made his way through the mansion, Xiao Yu remembered the first time he took his sister to try tiger crab.

Mu Qingwu had been terrified—she’d flat-out refused, ‘No way, I’m not eating that!’

But after her mischievous younger brother forced a bite…

Garlic-grilled tiger crab—Mu Qingwu could easily devour six in one go.

Ah, woman…oops, I’m drifting off!

It’s just like being afraid of ghosts, all because of what we don’t know.

Imagine if ghosts really existed in this world…

And one day people discovered that frying a ghost for a taste was utterly amazing…

Then these creatures might be farmed just like crayfish.

Fear is really just an overblown reaction.

Once you get to know what scares you inside out,

there’s no fear at all!

Suddenly.

Xiao Yu halted, causing Wang Dong to jump in surprise.

The two found themselves in a pitch-black corridor.

Even with a phone’s light, only vague shapes could be seen.

Xiao Yu turned toward the wall beside him, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

When Wang Dong took a look, his scalp went instantly numb.

Embedded in the wall was a square recess, with a blood-red skull resting inside.

Rolling his eyes, Wang Dong muttered, “Don’t bother—it’s fake!”

This Haunted Mansion is chock-full of props.

Just common sense!

But then…

With growing disbelief, Xiao Yu murmured, “It’s real!”

Huh?

Wang Dong was stunned.

What do you mean ‘real’… hiss!

He drew a sharp, cold breath, his eyes widening as they fixed on the blood-red skull.

His pupils constricted and a chill raced through him, his terror nearly exploding.

“Real?!”

Abruptly, Xiao Yu’s face hardened; he turned and walked away without another glance at the skull.

Wang Dong, frozen and shivering, followed behind his companion.

Around a corner in the mansion, they came across a ‘headless corpse.’

A female corpse!

Drawing nearer, Xiao Yu slowly crouched down.

The body looked alarmingly similar to the other props scattered around the mansion.

Any ordinary person would mistake it for just another prop.

But through the lens of his Falcon’s Eye, Xiao Yu coldly inspected the corpse; the skin under the clothing was covered in a thick layer of wax.

For decay to set in, a body needs warmth and air contact.

Inside the mansion, temperatures never reached ten degrees, and the wax prevented any air from touching it.

Recalling that blood-red skull and especially its odor,

he confirmed that the skull and the corpse were one.

Xiao Yu reached into his pocket and pulled out a mini pocket knife, unsheathing its blade.

He noticed something was off—the corpse’s abdomen was unusually sunken.

Gently, he sliced open the outer layer.

Both Xiao Yu and Wang Dong fell silent.

Although the female corpse’s belly was also coated in wax, it clearly revealed a gaping wound.

Inside, there were only intestines and lungs—her heart and liver were nowhere to be found!

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu stood and returned to where the skull had been displayed.

Up close, with his Falcon’s Eye activated, he examined the blood-red skull.

There, he saw… tooth marks.

Marks indicating a human bite!

“What’s wrong?”

Wang Dong couldn’t understand why his younger comrade was once again scrutinizing the skull so intensely.

“She…”

Xiao Yu exhaled deeply, “Was eaten!”

Wang Dong’s expression froze.

A jolt, like an electric current, shot through his body.

Remembering the missing heart and liver from the corpse,

a wave of nausea churned in Wang Dong’s stomach.

His entire body felt ice-cold!

“Let’s go.”

Turning around, Xiao Yu no longer glanced back at the skull.

His expression remained calm as he marched onward.

Wang Dong kept pace with his younger comrade.

The unnervingly calm look on Xiao Yu’s face

brought back some grim memories.

Ever since joining National Security, Wang Dong had vomited only once.

And that had been because of Xiao Yu, during the human skin wax figure case.

The eventual fate of the main culprit…

If you’d seen it, you’d be sick to your stomach too.

Back then, Xiao Yu’s expression was just as calm as it was now.

Totally Unleashed Rampage!

0… please send flowers…

……

The Haunted Mansion was enormous, estimated at several hundred square meters.

It mainly consisted of corridors, with a few fright rooms and even more ghostly props scattered about.

Without any official lighting, music, or display—only the eerie glow from phone screens—the entire place felt even more sinister.

With every step, Xiao Yu wrinkled his nose, using Wangdie’s Nose to catch any scent.

There was no trace of corpse odor, only the scent of two living people!

Step by step, Xiao Yu advanced down a corridor.

Wang Dong had already drawn his backup pistol and disengaged its safety.

Yet he suspected he might not even need it.

He was very aware of just how terrifying his unleashed younger comrade could be.

Until they reached the end of a corridor and found a door.

0…0

Xiao Yu paused and shot Wang Dong a glance.

In the surrounding darkness,

his piercing eyes fixed on Wang Dong, exerting a silent, oppressive force.

Wang Dong nodded and stepped back.

Slowly, Xiao Yu crouched, readying himself for an attack.

The instant he activated Bear Force, he could feel an overwhelming, terrifying power surging through him.

Boom!

A heavy thud emanated from under Xiao Yu’s foot.

Boom!

Like a charging beast, Xiao Yu slammed into the wooden door.

Under the brutal impact, the door splintered into pieces, wooden debris flying everywhere.

Amid the shower of wood chips, Xiao Yu emerged inside the room, his cold gaze falling upon two beds.

On them lay two men—one clutching a phone and another holding a tablet.

They stared blankly at Xiao Yu, still reeling from the sudden turn of events.

“Second Brother, Li Haibo?”

Xiao Yu’s gaze shifted from one man to the other, “Third Brother, Zheng Hao?”

Both looked to be around thirty-three or thirty-four, with sturdy builds.

At that moment, they finally snapped back to reality.

In a flash of terror, suspect Li Haibo raised his arm and produced a pistol.

Not a starter pistol, but a… W54 pistol!

The moment Li Haibo raised his arm,

crack!

His wrist snapped, the pistol fell, and Xiao Yu’s hand landed on his neck.

Like picking up a small chicken, Xiao Yu hoisted Li Haibo and peered over his shoulder.

There, on his back, was a Seven-Colored Dragon tattoo! Corpse.
