Except for the Wild Wanderer and the dead woman in a dress, all other players were gathered in the hall on the first floor.

The clock on the wall ticked, time moved forward minute by minute, and soon it was eleven o'clock in the evening.

"The security guard should have gone off work. Let's get ready to go." said the man in the suit.

Chen Mu, the Night King, Zheng Zetao, the middle-aged woman, and the man in a suit, five players, walked towards the iron gate of the villa manor together.

The air in the manor was filled with the faint salty smell of the sea breeze.

When we arrived at the iron gate, the security room was pitch black and the security guard had indeed gone off work.

The man in the suit pushed open the iron gate. Only a "click" sound was heard, and the iron gate slowly opened in the darkness.

"Come on, follow me."

The man in the suit waved to Chen Mu and his group.

Zheng Zetao looked at the man in a suit walking in front of him and couldn't help but whisper to Chen Mu, "Why does he look so familiar?"

Chen Mu shrugged, "Who knows? Just be careful."

The five people left the villa. Chen Mu looked back. In the dark night, the silent villa stood there quietly, looking as terrifying as a devil's castle.

It takes a while to walk from the iron gate to the beach.

In addition, people are afraid to walk fast, for fear that they might accidentally over-exercise.

Therefore, it took everyone nearly twenty minutes to walk this distance.

While walking, Chen Mu talked about the broadcast he heard this morning.

Zheng Zetao frowned, "You mean, tonight is our last chance?"

"If we want to go to the beach and if we can't find a way to exchange food for the maids, then tonight may be our last chance," Chen Mu said.

Zheng Zetao took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm, "Based on my experience, there must be important clues on the beach.

I won't go back unless I find some important clues tonight."

Chen Mu didn't take it too seriously and just thought it was just a casual remark by Zheng Zetao.

As we talked, the sound of the waves grew louder and the salty smell of the sea breeze became stronger.

The beach finally appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was already half past eleven at night. The sea was pitch black in the middle of the night, changing from white during the day to deep black at night.

On the dark sea, the sound of waves was terrifying, as if they would ferociously swallow people if you got any closer.

"Let's split up and look for them."

Chen Mu suggested.

Although in horror movies, acting separately is a classic scene of seeking death, in weird missions... it is also a classic scene of seeking death.

But this is also a helpless move. Looking separately will always have a larger search range than looking together.

And according to the rules of the client and the hostess, it is definitely safe now after eleven o'clock. There is a high probability that nothing will happen on the beach.

To be on the safe side, Chen Mu said:

"How about this, we gather here at 11:55. Because at 12 o'clock, it is the last time the client has given us to stay, so we'd better go back before 12 o'clock."

Several people nodded in agreement.

Chen Mu and Xiao Ye were in a group, Zheng Zetao and the middle-aged woman were in a group, and the men in suits were each in a group.

The five people divided into three groups and began to search hard on the dark beach.

Chen Mu held Xiaoye's hand, with stars twinkling above their heads. The two of them walked on the wet beach, feeling the cool sea breeze.

Suddenly, Xiaoye said, "Boss, I'm hard."

"Ah?" Chen Mu reacted immediately and let go of Xiaoye's hand.

"No, no, boss, you misunderstood." Xiaoye quickly explained, "I mean my body is stiff and rigid! I feel like I'm sinking into the beach. I feel like there's less and less sand under my feet, and I dare not move."

The misunderstanding was resolved, and Chen Mu's tightly clenched buttocks loosened. He lowered his head and saw that the beach where Xiaoye was standing was hit by waves from time to time.

Chen Mucai then remembered that this subordinate of his, the Ghost King, seemed to be coming to the beach for the first time.

"Don't worry, it's normal." Chen Mu explained: "Your feet are on the beach. When the waves rush up and then recede, they will take away the sand around your feet.

If you just stop standing there for too long and come with me, you won't have this feeling anymore."

Chen Mu said this and continued to walk forward holding Xiaoye's hand.

Time passed quickly at the beach, and Chen Mu and his friends didn't arrive until 11:30, so they didn't walk around for long before the time was almost up.

In just twenty minutes, no useful clues were found.

Chen Mu gained nothing and took Xiaoye back to the assembly point.

The time was exactly 11:55, and the other two groups also returned.

"How about it, have you found anything?" Chen Mu asked.

Zheng Zetao shook his head, and the man in the suit also shook his head.

Everyone looked disappointed. They had been expecting clues on the beach, but in the end, they found nothing.

"Maybe there's nothing on the beach. It's getting late, we should go back early."

As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, a faint light suddenly appeared on the sea not far away.

The light was far away, but was slowly drifting towards the sea.

"Why is there light in the sea? What is that?" Zheng Zetao asked puzzledly.

The middle-aged woman immediately raised her flashlight and shone it towards the sea.

The flashlights were provided in the rooms of the villa, and Chen Mu and his companions each had one.

Chen Mu and his companions quickly shone their flashlights over there, but unfortunately, the light was instantly swallowed up by the sea.

Fortunately, there were stars in the sky. With the faint starlight, everyone could vaguely see something floating on the sea.

It seemed to be a pile of debris... a broken hull. There was a light still on, which looked like the original light on the ship, and it had not been extinguished.

"A broken ship? Could it be the ship that belonged to the mistress's son?"

Zheng Zetao muttered to himself. He remembered what the maid said, that the mistress's son went out to sea on a boat, but the boat had not sailed far when it encountered a shipwreck.

The broken hull on the sea surface was pushed slowly towards the seashore by the waves.

It only takes twenty or thirty minutes to drift to the beach.

At this time, a crucial decision is placed before the players.

The option is to continue waiting at the beach and take a gamble that there will be a key clue on the broken ship, but this will exceed the client's twelve-point limit, but will be within the hostess's one-point limit.

Or should I just turn around and leave now, satisfying the time constraints of both the client and the hostess?

Chen Mu finally understood why the client gave this rule. It turned out that the players would really encounter critical choices.

"What have you decided to do?" Zheng Zetao looked at Chen Mu and the others and said slowly, "I want to continue waiting here to see what's on the ship."

Before Chen Mu could answer, the man in the suit immediately said, "Don't be like this. Let's abide by the client's rules and not take risks at the beach."
