Chapter 122 Silence is better than sound at this time

A breeze blew through the ink-colored bamboo forest, and a touch of fresh rain fell on the tender skin on the back of the neck. The cold touch made Feng Yuxu tremble all over.

"It's raining." Feng Yusu took two steps back and hid under the eaves, looking at the closed door with some worry.

Unlike Ning Zhe who had plans for the Yin family, she came to Yanglao Village not because of any interests, but simply because Ning Zhe called her out to help him. It was like working for nothing without any reward. As for what she helped with... Feng Yushu herself didn't know.

Raindrops as thin as cow hair fell one after another. The pure white rain was unrecognizable in the world of black, white and gray. It seemed to have woven a thin layer of gauze between the sky and the earth, and the haziness like fog was dancing along the direction of the wind.

The kiln-fired blue bricks were used to build small two- or three-story Western-style buildings. The whole village was surrounded by a dense forest, and everywhere you looked was lush green - now it has turned black and gray.

The environment of Yanglao Village is very beautiful, but Feng Yusu did not feel calm in such an environment. Instead, she became inexplicably irritated.

This is the world of 'Xi' who cannot hear anything. In an absolutely silent environment without any sound, she can feel her heart beating in her chest, and the pressurized blood is pumped out of the ventricle;
She could feel the peristalsis of the intestines in the abdominal cavity, the air inhaled into the lungs rubbing against the wings of the nose, and the sticky touch brought by the movement of the tongue and epiglottis when swallowing saliva... All of this was reflected in the human brain as a short-term surge in blood pressure, emotional tension, accompanied by intense anxiety and palpitations.

Feng Yusu's body was tense, her eyes were bloodshot, and she kept looking at the locked door in front of her. An instinctive fear overwhelmed her. This fear was not a fear of ghosts, nor was it panic in the general sense, but a sense of strangeness and discomfort that came from biological instinct.

——She is going crazy.

The human body is not a dead object. Many organs in a normal human body are active all year round. However, in many cases, people themselves are not aware of these subtle activities. The natural world of the earth is full of ubiquitous environmental white noise, which drowns out the subtle movements of various "parts" in the human body. Every person with normal hearing has been in this huge environmental sound field since the moment he or she gains consciousness in the mother's womb, and will coexist with this ubiquitous environmental noise for decades in his or her future life.

In this absolutely silent world, Feng Yuxu, who had not heard any sound for a long time, felt that his sensory sensitivity seemed to be suddenly amplified dozens or hundreds of times. The ambient noise that was originally everywhere suddenly returned to zero, and the subtle movements in his body that he had never felt before all appeared in his mind through bone conduction. It was a clear and distinct feeling that was enough to drive even the most determined human being crazy.

Maybe this is why the Yin family hid their final inheritance in a place like this?
Adult humans are on the verge of collapse after just a few minutes on the -2 floor's 'Xi'. What about the 'Yi' deeper down? And the 'Wei'...

"Ningzhe?" Feng Yusu tried to shout towards the door, but no sound came out of his open throat. The world was still so quiet.

"Ningzhe?" Feng Yuxu shouted even louder, but she got nothing except the vibration of her vocal cords echoing in her cranial cavity along the bones.

"Ningzhe..." Feng Yuxu held her head with both hands and slowly squatted on the ground. The uneasy emotion coming from her biological instinct was like maggots crawling in and out of a rotten heart, making her spirit tense to the extreme.

If a person with a slightly more irritable temper was pushed to this point, he would immediately go crazy and smash things around recklessly, even if his hands and feet were covered in blood, he would try his best to make some noise to dispel the fear in his heart. But Feng Yusu would not do that. Being cowardly by nature, she would only die in silence, not explode in silence.

"Woo, woo woo..."

Ning Zhe's judgment of her personality traits was very accurate. The uneasy emotion finally overwhelmed her reason. Feng Yusu hugged her knees tightly, curled up into a ball, and sobbed.

She felt the omnipresent darkness embracing her, dragging her consciousness deeper into the depths, but at this moment, when Feng Yushu was tortured by the fear of biological instinct and was almost collapsed, a slender human figure suddenly appeared in her mind. To be precise, it appeared within the perception range of "Terang".

Ever since the killing of Te Rang in the Bishuiwan Manor, this extremely brutal yet extremely simple rule seemed to have become an extra "sixth sense" for Feng Yuxu, independent of the five conventional senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, which could directly and unconditionally perceive all shadows within a certain range.

"He turned on the light." Feeling Ning Zhe's shadow appear in the building, a long-lost sense of security suddenly melted in my heart like a ball of hot water.

But in an instant, this brief sense of relief was gone, replaced by surprise and confusion.

Because not far from Ning Zhe's shadow, another person's shadow suddenly appeared. The slender and petite outline seemed to appear directly in front of Feng Yusu's eyes, making her see an underage girl standing gracefully in front of the door.

"Brother, are you back?"

Yin Lishang stood at the door of the room, his face covered with acne and pimples had a smile blooming like a flower, and he looked very happy.

A gentle smile appeared on Ning Zhe's face, but beneath the calm appearance, ripples were already forming in his heart.

Why is Yin Lishang here?

Why can I hear her voice?
What is going on here?

Yes, Ning Zhe knew from the beginning that Ji Taiyu's sister was a crucial role. His mother repeatedly asked him in letters to protect his sister. Ning Zhe knew from then on that Yin Lishang might be the key person to solve the mystery of Yanglao Village... or even that she was the "puzzle" itself.

"Brother, where did you go just now? I've been looking for you for a long time." Yin Lishang walked to Ning Zhe attentively and looked up at him eagerly.

The girl's tender voice sounded extremely clear and yet extremely abrupt in the completely silent environment, as if someone had used photo editing software to photoshop the Taoist whisk in the hands of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun into a glowing cheering onion for Hatsune Miku.

Seeing that her brother didn't answer her question for a long time, Yin Lishang pouted a little aggrievedly and asked carefully and softly: "Brother, are you angry?"

Ning Zhe thought for a moment, then walked into his grandfather's study, took out a piece of paper and pen, and wrote down a paragraph behind the water and electricity expenses and pension income:

【I am speechless.】
