Chapter 147: Stranger's Warning
Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan decided to pursue the disappeared figure. They walked out of the door carefully and stepped into the dark yard. The moonlight was weak, barely illuminating a small area in front. The fallen leaves on the ground were blown up by the wind, making a rustling sound, as if whispering unknown fear.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Lin Yanan couldn't help shrinking her neck and following closely behind Ruan Jianan. Her hands unconsciously grabbed the corner of Ruan Jianan's clothes, and her eyes were full of tension and anxiety. Ruan Jianan held a baseball bat for self-defense in his hand, and his eyes were vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
Suddenly, a dark shadow passed over their heads, bringing a gust of cold wind. Ruan Jianan turned around quickly, but saw only darkness. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. Lin Yanan exclaimed and moved closer to Ruan Jianan.
Just when they were nervous, a deep voice sounded in their ears: "Don't investigate any further, otherwise you will bear the consequences." The voice seemed to come from all directions, and it seemed to sound directly in their minds, making it impossible to tell its direction.
Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan looked at each other in horror and looked around for the source of the sound. Their eyes moved quickly in the darkness, trying to catch a clue. Lin Yanan's breathing became rapid, her lips trembled slightly, and her voice trembled a little: "Who... who is this?"
Ruan Jianan did not answer, but observed the surrounding movements more attentively. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed determination and courage. "Come out! What's the point of hiding your head and showing your tail!" Ruan Jianan shouted loudly.
However, there was no other sound except their own breathing. The wind seemed to stop at this moment, and the whole yard fell into an eerie silence. Lin Yanan's heartbeat was particularly clear in the silence, and she could feel her heart as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Ruan Jianan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He pulled Lin Yanan and slowly walked towards the corner of the yard. With every step, they could feel an invisible pressure, as if a pair of eyes were staring at them in the dark.
"Jian'an, I... I'm scared." Lin Yanan's voice was tinged with tears.
Ruan Jianan stopped, turned around, and gently embraced Lin Yanan in his arms. "Don't be afraid, I'm here." His voice was gentle and firm, giving Lin Yanan a little comfort.
At this moment, the voice sounded again: "Do you think you can escape the arrangement of fate like this? This is a huge whirlpool. Once you are involved, you can't get out." The only way is...
Ruan Jianan let go of Lin Yanan and shouted: "No matter what it is, we will not back down!"
The voice sneered, "Humph, ignorant arrogance. You have no idea what you are facing."
Lin Yanan: "No matter how dangerous it is, we must find out the truth."
"The truth?" The voice was mocking. "The truth is often cruel. You can't bear it."
Ruan Jianan clenched the baseball bat tightly and said, "No matter how cruel it is, we have to face it."
The voice was silent for a moment: "Well, since you are so stubborn, then prepare to face destruction."
After that, the surroundings fell into silence again. Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan stood there, feeling heavy-hearted.
"Jian'an, what should we do?" Lin Yanan asked.
Ruan Jianan pondered for a moment: "No matter what, we can't be scared by his words. We must continue to look for clues."
Lin Yanan nodded, "Well, I believe you."
They returned to the room and began to reorganize their thoughts. Ruan Jianan sat at the desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought. Lin Yanan was flipping through the materials he had found before, hoping to find more useful information.
As time went by, the atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn. Suddenly, Lin Yanan found a piece of paper in the gap of a book. There were some strange symbols and words written on the paper, and they could not understand the meaning for a while.
Ruan Jianan took the note and studied it carefully. At this moment, there was a slight noise outside the window. They looked at the window vigilantly and saw a black shadow flash by.
