"Has this guy lost his mind?"

Inside the house, a young man watched Zhong Shenxiu humming while walking away, his lips twitching.

"Company security guard?"

However, Jiang Hua, the Deceit Master, had a grave expression. "According to the files, the Anywhere Express Company doesn't have this position…"

"Are you guys not going to help him? Even though he might be powerful, he still needs support, right?" The middle-aged captain pragmatically interjected, "If we want to survive, we must unite and fight!"

"No, that won't be necessary!"

Han Bingjie laughed. "You'll never understand how strong Brother Gui is; even if the ancient mansion's owner were to descend, it would merely be a drizzle…"

Brother Gui was indeed a fearsome man who could even make the company give ground!

Compared to him, what was an ancient mansion's owner, after all?

Han Bingjie held full confidence in Zhong Shenxiu.

Jiang Hua and the middle-aged captain exchanged glances, nodding silently, beginning to understand a few things.

This security guard was absolutely a key figure amidst the company's changes!

Just then, they heard a fierce shout from outside: "You dare to come? I'll bash your head in!"

"No, wait, you don't even have a head!"

"Ah… I can't pretend anymore, Great Mighty Dragon, perish, demon!"

Jiang Hua and the middle-aged captain looked at each other again, slowly shaking their heads, their initial conjectures wavering…

...

Thud thud!

Zhong Shenxiu, with his large black umbrella, strolled into the master bedroom.

This was… the place where Yue Shan's parents had sacrificed themselves!

At that moment, the thick and ominous atmosphere seemed to fill the entire room. The walls around seemed to stack on top of each other, as if they could disappear at any moment, or as if… they connected to a deeper otherworldly space!

In the center of the room, two people stood silently.

It was Yue Shan and Yue Qin!

But now, both siblings wore expressionless faces, their pupils even turning a pale gray.

Against the almost surreal background, it seemed as if two blurry figures were standing behind them, seemingly eerily merging with them…

It was Yue Xue and his wife Aqing!

These two former sacrificial victims, now Deceit Slaves, had used the rite completed by Su Nuan to arrive in the ancient mansion, using Yue Shan and Yue Qin's eyes as a bridge, and had already completely taken control of their son's and daughter's bodies!

"I must say, the blood ties, combined with the identities born out of deceitful power, make Yue Shan and Yue Qin's physiques somewhat special… Although they still count as ordinary humans, they find it easier to see deceptions, and also, they're quite suitable for possession, aren't they?"

Zhong Shenxiu's lips slightly curled.

The level of horror of these two Deceits was even fiercer than the previous Su Nuan, and that was not all!

"But even with Yue Shan's special physique, it's still difficult to fully sustain the descension of the ancient mansion's owner. This bridge is not very sturdy…"

"Therefore, the original plan of the ancient mansion's owner was to make Yue Xue and Aqing become Deceit Slaves, then to parasitize their son and daughter…"

"Then, to use these two as his own bridge for descension!"

"To put it simply, the Deceit Slaves parasitize humans, then the Deceit parasitize Deceit Slaves!"

"Deceit parasitizing Deceit!"

"With such overlapping possessions, the descending ancient mansion's owner ought to be quite terrifying… just lacks a little, and he could be a special guest at the company's annual meeting…"

At this moment, Yue Xue and Aqing each extended a hand and clasped them together.

Their shadows behind them began to overlap, as if even their flesh was merging.

These two people, two Deceits, were going to form one perfect body, completely accommodating the descension of the ancient mansion's owner!

For the regular employees of the company, this signified an unsolvable increase in difficulty.

Stopping all this was virtually impossible.

The only thing one could rely on was the ancient mansion owner's mercy and compassion.

But a Deceit was clearly devoid of such things.

"Seeing this scene, I always feel that even if Su Nuan follows the altered notes, there's a high chance she will be duped… She's being used too."

Zhong Shenxiu commented and noticed a swath of darkness opening behind Yue Shan and Yue Qin, expanding continuously.

A deeper dimensional space was being connected.

Some entity was about to descend!

He smirked and tapped the ground with the large black umbrella in his hand.

Tap tap!

The tip of the umbrella hit the ground, producing a crisp sound.

An invisible force spread out.

The umbrella's unique position, belonging only to the "Ominous Umbrella," even directly suppressed the area!

Zhong Shenxiu hadn't unlocked this cursed object, but merely using its inherent position, he was able to prevent the ancient mansion owner from descending!

That patch of darkness twisted, and the invisible door slowly closed.

All of this seemed so natural, hardly preventable.

Just then,

Wah-wah!

The cry of a baby echoed as if coming from the Nine Netherworld Hell, making one's scalp tingle.

Yue Shan's left arm and Yue Qin's right arm directly fell off, their flesh and bones rapidly dissolving, condensing...transforming into a dark green flesh mass.

From the cracks in the dimensional space, it seemed some entity had emerged and entered the flesh mass.

Inside the flesh mass, the baby's cries grew louder, seemingly rapidly growing malformed limbs, ready to tear through the membrane and emerge into this world!

"Hmm… this is because the ritual was suppressed, forcing it to abandon part of its target."

"Originally, it could have perfectly descended using an adult's body, but now it has to descend prematurely, underdeveloped, unable to parasitize Yue Shan and Yue Qin, so it has to settle for merging with some flesh and blood, turning into a… Deceit Baby?"

Wah-wah!

The baby's wailing resounded again, eerie and loud, echoing continuously within the ancient mansion.

The entire mansion trembled slightly, as if welcoming the arrival of its owner!

In the distance, within a room.

The baby's cries echoed back and forth in the room, becoming even more shrill and horrifying.

"Not good!"

Chu He threw out the last bit of cremated ashes.

The specks of powder landed around him, Murong Hong, and Han Bingjie, already at their limits, quickly vanishing.

The trio had just felt the crying in their ears weaken when the middle-aged team leader and the young man opposite them collapsed, turning into two corpses.

"This baby's wailing, it's another Deceit attack, a curse!"

Jiang Hua's face turned pale: "And… it keeps going, if we keep this up, we're doomed!"

Chu He's expression was one of horror, just a slight leak of the curse, and it had such a terrifying effect.

It could only be said that facing Deceit, ordinary people were simply too fragile!

He had already exhausted his paranormal items, but the ghostly wailing continued, growing louder!

"Young man, strive to survive."

Jiang Hua took a deep breath, made a decision, and uttered some difficult, obscure notes.

On his wrist, a touch of red glowed in the rationale detection stone...

Another Deceit Art was cast, countering the ghostly cry.

But this could only delay things for a bit.

If the source of the curse couldn't be eliminated or expelled after the Deceit Art's effect ended, everyone would still die!
