Within the courtyard.

Su Nuan stared at her own wrist, watching the icy Deceit Blood, alive-like, burrow back into her veins.

Intense agony surged, bending her over backward, her face contorted.

It was as if she lay back on that cold operating table, hearing the terrifying man's voice, "Congratulations... the planting of Deceit Skill has succeeded, although... there is nothing to celebrate."

"I must remind you, although you've succeeded in coexisting with Deceit Blood, it will continue to erode you, torture you, drive you insane... until the end, you might turn into a brand-new 'Deceit'... and the more you use the power of Deceit Blood, the more it will accelerate this process, which is absolutely irreversible!"

Therefore, even she dared not use Deceit Blood's power for long.

After controlling the Yue siblings, she retracted her Deceit Blood.

Even so, her skin had become paler, and within the translucent veins, the bright red Deceit Blood flowed.

With a feeling of a massive step towards the abyss, her smile grew wider, "Soon… Ming Building… you would be happy for me, wouldn't you?"

Bang!

A gunshot sound.

Suddenly, a large hole appeared in Su Nuan's chest, her face wearing a startled expression as she slowly fell down.

Three people walked in from beyond the wall, shockingly, it was Murong Hong, Han Bingjie, and Chu He!

In Chu He's hand was a handgun!

Whether it was Yue Qin's scream earlier or the noise here, it attracted their attention.

'Indeed… everyone who rises in the company has a dark heart.'

Han Bingjie glanced at the handgun in Chu He's hand, his eyelids twitching, "Brother Chu, where did you scavenge that handgun?"

"Manager Cao's legacy…"

Chu He answered calmly, stepping forward, and pulling out an ancient thread-bound book from Su Nuan's clothing.

"Ah… poor Su Nuan, how did she end up here?"

Han Bingjie sighed as he looked at the unblinking dead body of Su Nuan.

"You don't think she was seeking revenge on the company for her boyfriend, do you?"

Chu He responded in surprise, "This was a woman who would stop at nothing just to survive. I even suspect that during the seesaw incident, it was she who killed her own boyfriend… She split from us, kidnapped the Yue siblings, all just to achieve her own goal…"

As he spoke, he shone a flashlight, flipping through the ancient book quickly, "So that it is, the ancestors of the Yue Family, made a contract with Deceit? Impressive indeed…"

"Manager, what should we do? The Yue siblings are still inside, and things are not right…"

Murong Hong spoke anxiously.

"We can't act rashly now, we must know the full truth to truly break the game," Chu He shook his head.

In a moment when Deceit could appear anytime, every individual was highly tense.

"It's moving, it's moving!"

At that moment, Murong Hong pointed at Su Nuan's body on the ground and screamed.

Blood continuously oozed from the chest area of Su Nuan, its color quickly turning deep black.

As if pulled by an invisible force, she stood up, her chest wound being covered by a layer of blood, rapidly healing.

"After the planting of Deceit, is she no longer considered a human? So, she has no vital parts?"

Chu He aimed the handgun at Su Nuan's head, his expression extremely grave.

"Shoot her, shoot her in the head!"

Han Bingjie yelled in fright.

However, Su Nuan suddenly blinked and revealed a crazed smile, "You've come?"

"Run!"

Chu He took a few steps back and turned to run.

Han Bingjie, not knowing why, also turned and ran, Murong Hong closely following.

"Why not shoot?"

Han Bingjie's mind spun fast, quickly realizing, 'Su Nuan is no longer human, a bullet can't kill her, shooting the head might also be futile…'

'I've heard Brother Gui mention that the Deceit Skill has flaws, after death, a person might turn into 'Deceit'? Did Chu He prefer to negotiate with a rational Su Nuan rather than provoke a fully formed Deceit to chase and kill?'

"Chu He, don't think you can stop me!"

From behind, a cold voice spoke up.

Han Bingjie turned his head and saw a pool of blood rapidly spreading toward him, which made him tremble all over, "Su Nuan... We're all friends..."

But it was useless!

The pool of blood quickly approached, almost touching him...

Boom!

Just then, a louder gunshot rang out.

Su Nuan's head exploded, and she fell to the ground.

A large amount of blood slowly retracted and entered her body.

"What's going on?"

Murong Hong looked at Chu He, who hadn't fired his gun.

"Was that... a sniper rifle? I've miscalculated twice..."

Chu He stopped walking and suddenly sighed, "Initially, I hadn't expected Su Nuan's vitality to be so tenacious, then, I hadn't expected... another force to intervene."

In front of them, suddenly appeared a group of members from the Foundation dressed in black uniforms.

Looking at them fully armed, Murong Hong felt as if his brain was about to shut down.

"Hey, hey... look at this!"

Han Bingjie pointed at Su Nuan's headless corpse.

The corpse was constantly twitching, suddenly flipped over, chest up, limbs in a bizarre twist, lying on the ground, crawling at a very high speed.

It suddenly jumped and ran rapidly on the wall like a spider!

Mutilated, twisted, sinister...

The properties of moving without a head, and this twisted posture, were enough to make any sane person's scalp tingle and their sanity plummet rapidly!

And Han Bingjie and the others deeply realized something—"Su Nuan is dead, transformed into a true Deceit!"

Chu He gathered the three together and quickly scattered a handful of bone ash.

Boom!

The twisted female spider dodged the ash and abruptly leaped behind them!

After becoming a Deceit, it was naturally affected by the supernatural items and shifted its target!

"Ah!"

A Foundation member was grabbed, let out a scream, and then all went silent.

"Fire!"

The middle-aged captain shouted, and countless bullets roared forth!

But it was useless!

Darkness kept encroaching from all around, causing everyone's light sources to extinguish momentarily.

This could be either the Deceit in the ancient house acting up or a special ability of Su Nuan's transformation into a Deceit.

"Ah!"

Successive screams continuously emanated from around them.

"Mr. Jiang!"

The captain, while holding the young team member's hand, shouted.

Jiang Hua's forehead was sweating profusely, and a yellow gemstone on his wrist suddenly lit up.

The next moment, an inhuman voice came from his mouth.

Sharp sonic waves continuously spread around.

The extinguished lights started coming back on.

At this moment, the team that had broken into the ancient house was left with only the middle-aged captain, the young team member, and Jiang Hua.

And the Deceit was nowhere to be seen!

At this moment, they were all horrified, not knowing where the Deceit would appear next and claim another life.

"Follow us!"

Chu He waved his hand, signaling them to follow him into a side room.
