Chapter 510: Chapter 510 Creak, creak (Eleven more updates)_1

At this moment, the woman in white on the painting had already turned her head, but her face was very blurry and indistinct.

If it hadn’t been for the sight of her turning before, that chilling feeling in your heart might have been reduced a great deal.

You remembered that before the strange occurrence took place, it was triggered by the sound from the piano, so you walked slowly toward the white grand piano with Ruan Yuling.

Standing in front of the piano, you asked Ruan Yuling next to you, "Sister Ling, can you play the piano?"

"I can a little, I took lessons with a teacher before."

You thought for a bit then said, "If I hum the tune, can you play it by ear?"

"I can give it a try."

"Good."

Ruan Yuling was not faint-hearted either. If it had been another woman, she would probably have had weak legs from fear by now and certainly wouldn’t have pulled off the dust cover from the piano stool to sit down, placing her slender, onion-shaped fingers on the black and white keys.

Strangely, in this vast living room, only the area around the spiral staircase, the large painting, and the grand piano were lit with dim yellow light.

It was precisely because of this that you came to the gloomy white grand piano and had Ruan Yuling play it.

Ruan Yuling’s fingers were very beautiful. Her long fingers played on the black and white keys like flowing water, following the tune you hummed.

The tune you hummed was the exact opposite of what the grand piano had played automatically before. Starting with a strong beat, the melody gradually became more cheerful, and Ruan Yuling’s hands, white as jade, danced on the keys like elves, light and merry...

However, when the song ended, nothing special happened around you.

Seemingly intoxicated by the beautiful melody she had just played, Ruan Yuling turned around, her face beaming with a smile as she looked at you, "How did I play?"

You raised an eyebrow and nodded with a smile, "Beautifully."

"Thank you."

Once Ruan Yuling stood up, and as both of you turned around, a light suddenly came on at the top of the spiral staircase on the second floor. This light, under your gaze, flickered rapidly as if it had a bad connection, alternately bright and dim.

The two of you exchanged glances, and Ruan Yuling said to you, "Do you think the other party wants us to go upstairs?"

"It seems that’s the only explanation. Let’s go up and take a look."

"Even though the second floor looks rather eerie from this angle, we don’t have much choice." Ruan Yuling turned to look at you, her full, lustrous, and sexy lips parting as she said, "It’s good that you’re with me, otherwise I really don’t know what I would do. Not to mention anything else, just being alone in a place like this would drive one crazy."

You gave a slight smile and walked with Ruan Yuling towards the gloomy, dust-covered spiral staircase.

As you approached the staircase, you noticed with the help of the dim yellow wall light that there were three paintings hanging above, all also seemingly quite old. These three paintings were portraits, two women and a man, all wearing traditional European attire, their gazes directed straight ahead.

"Creak... Creak..."

The spiral staircase was old and emitted a cringe-inducing sound as you stepped on it.

Moving slowly up the stairs, in the absence of night vision ability, the surrounding darkness enveloped you, and your sense of potential crisis gradually heightened.

The hallway was dark, and the banister was covered with dust. You didn’t want to touch it, so you proceeded with caution.

"Creak... Creak..."

At this moment, you paused.

An unusual sensation sprouted in your heart; you turned your head to look back at Ruan Yuling and noticed that her seductive face also bore a hint of timidity. She didn’t look pitiful like a young girl, but she showed a certain unique charm that only you could see.

The two exchanged glances and slowly raised their heads.

Hiss—

As you raised your heads, you couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air!

The eyes of the figures in the three portrait paintings on the wall, which had been looking straight ahead, were now looking down, staring intently at the two of you!

Ruan Yuling’s hand hurriedly reached over and tightly grabbed your arm, her whole body leaning against you as well. "What’s with their eyes? Or were they like this the whole time?"

Honestly, compared to being in this gloomy old house filled with foreboding, you would rather descend straight into Hell to face those extremely vicious Evil Ghosts; because the darkness enveloping you and the strange items were constantly stimulating your nerves.

Looking up closely at the three paintings, although from this angle the scenes they portrayed were indeed creepy, they didn’t make any further movements, nor did they have any substantial effect on you.

After waiting a few seconds, you asked Ruan Yuling beside you, "Can you continue?"

"Mhm." Ruan Yuling nodded seriously.

"Creak... creak..."

The closer you got to the second floor, the louder the grating noises from the gaps in the floorboards became.

Ruan Yuling had grabbed your left hand earlier and hadn’t let go since.

Although she tried to appear calm on the surface, her nervousness inside had not eased at all. Not to mention anything else, the pain coming from the arm she was holding said it all.

Upon reaching the second floor, you saw that there were two corridors, one directly ahead and the other to the right.

"Which way now?"

Ruan Yuling tried her best to speak without trembling, only managing to lower her voice.

Stretching out a hand, you muttered a phrase towards the two passages, your finger swaying left and right with the words: "Round and round we sit, eating fruits galore, if Ding doesn’t come, there’s one more!"

In the end, your finger pointed toward the corridor on the right, and without second thought, you led Ruan Yuling down that way.

The corridor wasn’t long, roughly five or six meters, with a door along the side.

The lighting was still dim all around, and with the flickering light behind you, the entire corridor looked especially eerie.

As you approached the door, about to reach for it, Ruan Yuling urgently said, "Wait a minute."

"What’s wrong?"

"That door, let’s not open it. Who knows what strange things might be inside."

Despite being known as the Black Widow, she was ultimately still a woman, naturally fearful of the unknown.

You smiled gently at Ruan Yuling, "Don’t worry, no matter what happens, I’m here."

Ruan Yuling stared at you blankly for several seconds, then silently nodded her head.

You reached for the doorknob, gave it a gentle twist and a push, and with a grating noise reminiscent of sawing wood, you opened the door.

Peeking inside first, you saw that it was just an ordinary room with some furniture and two cabinets.

Stepping inside, you fumbled on the wall nearby for a switch, and with a "click," a crisp sound, the light inside the room surprisingly turned on.
