Horror Game: Cthulhu Fairy Tales

Chapter 107 Realistic Fairy Tale (11)

Xie Yueye waited in the hotel room for a while, and Huang Xiang, who had gone out to contact someone, came back.

As soon as Huang Xiang entered the door, he saw Xie Yueye's expectant eyes and immediately shook his head a little embarrassedly.

"No contact?"

Xie Yueye frowned when he saw the other party's actions. Could it be that his guess was wrong and that person was really in danger?

"I called using the backup contact number the deputy department gave me."

The yellow-haired man told the story of what had just happened.

The call was picked up after three rings. This time Huang Xiang was more cautious and did not speak directly. Instead, he waited for movement on the other end of the phone.

"..."

The yellow-haired man just looked at the time ticking on his phone without saying a word.

Five minutes passed and there was still no sound from the other end of the phone.

Huang Xiang thought of Xie Yueye’s previous reminder and knew that he couldn’t lose his temper. After all, no one knew what was happening around the deputy minister.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the call time moved to one hour.

This hour basically exhausted Huang Xiang's patience. Just when he couldn't help but reach out to pick up the phone, the person on the other end hung up.

"Brother Xie, look, I waited for an hour and didn't dare to say a word."

The yellow-haired man showed the call records to Xie Yueye as if to take credit.

“You didn’t call back after that?”

"No, I feel like it's useless for me to call."

The yellow-haired man was admitted into the team as an exception, but Xie Yueye now has doubts as to whether the examination for special admission had properly tested this man's IQ. After all, the other party's intelligence, which appeared and disappeared from time to time, had already made him very worried.

What Huang Xiang said was actually not wrong. Since the other party spent an hour without saying anything and just answered the phone, it was very likely that at least this deputy minister could no longer be contacted.

Xie Yueye was very clear at this moment that if he went forward rashly, he might fall into a trap, but judging from what he had found in the wooden box, he didn't have much time left.

"I'll go there."

Looking at the decision made by the handsome long-haired man beside him, Huang Xiang knew that he could not stop him at all.

It was already ten o'clock when they arrived in Beijing, and by the time Huang Xiang finished his call, the clock had already reached two o'clock in the morning.

After renting a car, Huang Xiang drove Xie Yueye out of the city and to the very secluded villa.

After the deputy minister had complete trust in him, he gave him the address of the villa.

The car drove for more than an hour and finally arrived at the villa before four in the morning.

Looking at this small villa built on the side of the mountain, Xie Yueye's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that the old man was so impetuous when he was young, but he still has such an interest when he is older.

"This is it. The deputy minister told me that if I couldn't contact him, I should come here to find him."

In fact, the old man talked to Huang Xiang a lot back then, but unfortunately Huang Xiang didn't remember most of it and only remembered the address of this villa.

"Xie bro, how do we get in?"

Looking at the towering walls outside the villa, Huang Xiang felt a bit troubled. After all, this was the real world and he couldn't climb over the eaves or walls.

Xie Yueye looked at the wall that was about four meters high and felt very strange. This was just the private residence of a cadre who was about to retire, so why did he have such a high wall?

"Knock on the door and go in."

After saying this, Xie Yueye walked directly towards the villa.

"Hey? Hey! Xie bro! Wait for me!"

Huang Xiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he saw Xie Yueye walking away.

"Brother Xie, are you kidding me? Just knocking on the door? What's the difference between this and walking into a trap?"

Huang Xiang felt very nervous about Xie Yueye's answer. In his opinion, Xie Yueye's current actions were tantamount to seeking death.

Xie Yueye ignored Huang Xiang's words and walked straight towards the gate.

"Boom boom boom——"

Looking at the ancient wooden door in front of him, the man walked straight up the stairs and knocked on the wooden door.

Huang Xiang stood behind Xie Yueye very nervously, looking around.

The surrounding woods made rustling sounds due to the wind, which scared the yellow-haired man to death.

He now felt like he was in one of those ancient TV dramas about power struggles, following a very bold master and going straight to find the most ferocious prince among the enemy forces.

Xie Yueye had no idea that the yellow-haired man behind him had his thoughts wandered to other strange places because of the environment.

The faint moonlight shone on the man's handsome face, and Xie Yueye showed a slightly serious expression.

After knocking on the door, Xie Yueye stood there straight, staring ahead without making any other movements.

Huang Xiang behind him was spinning in place, thinking about countless possibilities in his mind. Because no one answered the door, the yellow-haired man became more and more anxious.

Perhaps sensing the anxiety of the person behind him, Xie Yueye calmly leaned back.

Huang Xiang turned around and kept muttering, "Why hasn't anyone come to open the door yet..."

"Xixissuosuo——"

As the leaves made more noises due to the wind, Huang Xiang, who had become extremely timid, felt his heart rise to his chest.

Just when he thought everything was over, the tightly closed door opened.

"!!!"

The yellow-haired man stared at the person who came out with wide eyes in disbelief.

The other person was wearing a Chinese suit, which looked particularly creepy in the dark.

Huang Xiang felt his teeth chattering. He was wondering if a male ghost had run out from inside when the moonlight shone on the face of the person who came out.

At this time, Huang Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, because the person who came was someone he was familiar with.

"Master, please come in."

The middle-aged man who came out raised his hand and waved inside, indicating that the two could enter.

"Uncle Liu..."

Huang Xiang called out the middle-aged man's name. The other party was the deputy minister's butler. Huang Xiang had been working with him for more than ten years, and he was also very familiar with him.

"Mr. Huang Xiang."

After nodding and greeting Huang Xiang, the man called Liu Shu walked straight inside and led the way for Xie Yueye.

The yellow-haired man quickly caught up with Xie Yueye. He admired Brother Xie's calm attitude from the bottom of his heart.

Xie Yueye and this deputy minister were just acquaintances, and they didn't know each other as well as Fu Xingchen. This time he came to see him just to handle that matter.

Uncle Liu led the two of them around the quaint courtyard and the huge fish pond, and walked to the back of the villa, which was a large Chinese-style house.

"Cough cough cough-"

Before the butler could speak, a cough was heard from inside, and then a dim candlelight was lit.

"master……"

Uncle Liu looked into the room worriedly, then walked up and knocked on the door.

"Let them in... cough cough cough..."

As the voice from inside opened, Xie Yueye was certain that this was the deputy minister.

"Master, please come in..."

After the butler said this, he opened the door for the two of them.

After Huang Xiang and Xie Yueye entered one by one, the housekeeper closed the door and left.

"Ahem...Xiao Xie...I haven't seen you for several years..."

As Xie Yueye walked into the room, he smelled a faint scent of Chinese medicine.

Looking at the chaise longue placed in the middle of the living room, it was the old man lying on it.
