The items each person can carry are limited.
With the experience from the last round, everyone understood the importance of light, and the first item they took was a spirit «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» cage.
Under the faint spiritual light, although the Sanity Value decreased, the rate of decline was very slow.
Everyone cautiously pushed open the long-abandoned wooden door and entered the Abandoned House.
"Damn it, the terrain has changed!"
After lighting the lantern in the main hall, Zhou Yue imdiately frowned.
Because this Abandoned House had a different layout from the previous round.
In the original work of the previous life, each map was fixed.
To enhance the Cultivators' sense of imrsion and allow them to experience the terrifying atmosphere firsthand, Lu Ze thoughtfully changed the map to a mode of multiple templates and random combinations.
Otherwise, if they played a few rounds and beca familiar with the map, escaping would beco too easy, and how would that scare them?
"This Old Devil Lu... he's up to no good..."
Zhou Qiaoling felt goosebumps rise and retreated a few more steps.
"Did everyone bring their Finger-Cold Needle?"
Zhong Yi asked.
Everyone answered in unison: "We brought it."
"Then let's find the ghost room first... Ti is short, we need to hurry!"
Zhong Yi called out, and the four imdiately began to search for places with chilling Qi using their Finger-Cold Needles.
The core gaplay of "Ghost Town" was to deduce the type of evil spirit.
The first step was to find where the evil spirit was located.
According to the System's prompt, the ghost room where the evil spirit resided was much colder than other nearby places due to excessive Yin Qi.
Therefore, the Finger-Cold Needle was the second most crucial item after the spirit cage.
The four divided into four directions—east, south, west, and north—and walked forward.
"Wow, the head of the bed is directly facing a mirror... If you don't have trouble, who will!"
As soon as Zhou Qiaoling entered the master bedroom, she was startled by the dim yellow bronze mirror.
"Mirror... Mirror! Oh my god, this mirror probably has a ghost!"
Zhou Qiaoling exclaid, and her voice happened to be heard by Zhong Yi, who was outside checking the temperature of the main hall.
"Not so, not so... When I was trapped in the Ghost Labyrinth just now, it was a bronze mirror that saved my life!"
Zhong Yi shook his head, refuting Zhou Qiaoling's idea.
"Oh? It has such an effect?"
Zhou Qiaoling beca interested.
At this mont, her Sanity Value was still full, and she hadn't yet fallen into a state of extre panic, so even Zhou Qiaoling was quite bold.
She walked up to the mirror and curiously examined it.
The bronze mirror had been sitting in this Abandoned House for an unknown period, and its surface had a slight distortion.
Zhou Qiaoling's reflection was distorted and wobbly, looking both comical and strange.
"There won't be a ghost inside, will there...?"
Zhou Qiaoling swallowed, bravely waved her hand at the mirror.
Although the image in the mirror was a bit distorted and blurry, the actions were consistent.
She shook her head, turned her body, and even stood still for a while before suddenly changing her action.
The Zhou Qiaoling in the mirror mirrored her actions perfectly, without any deviation.
"Phew, it seems there's no ghost inside..."
Zhou Qiaoling let out a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly realized...
Her body was stiff, unable to move!
A wet, cold sensation surged from her spine all the way up to her head.
"Crack," "Crack"...
Zhou Qiaoling's neck turned stiffly back, beyond her control, little by little.
Her gaze just happened to catch her own reflection in the mirror, with skin that had turned pale with bruises and blood-red lips!
Zhou Qiaoling imdiately held her breath, her eyes wide, a constant tingling sensation on her scalp.
The "Zhou Qiaoling" in the mirror slowly raised her hands and reached for her own neck.
Zhou Qiaoling's hands, beyond her control, also slowly began to mimic its movents...
The angle at which the "Zhou Qiaoling" in the mirror twisted her neck with her hands grew wider and wider, and the smile on her lips beca increasingly sinister.
Tears of despair welled up in Zhou Qiaoling's eyes, and the pain in her neck beca increasingly obvious...
Cracks appeared on the mirror surface...
"Ah—!!!"
A loud scream.
Zhou Qiaoling looked at the shattered bronze mirror in front of her, covered in cracks, cold sweat pouring down her body.
Everything just now was rely an illusion.
The interaction with the evil spirit had not caused her any substantial harm.
The only cost was—
Her Sanity Value dropped by 20 points.
At this mont, Zhou Qiaoling felt flustered, and that feeling of extre panic returned.
"Damn Old Devil Lu!! I must find him for a sparring match when I get out!!!"
Zhou Qiaoling's anger flared up at the thought of Lu Ze.
She secretly thought to herself,
This sparring match needs to happen quickly.
Currently, she was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, one major Realm higher than Lu Ze.
Given Lu Ze's Heaven-Defying Breakthrough speed, she might not have another chance later...
...
Zhou Qiaoling lit the lantern in the master bedroom and ticulously searched every corner of the room with her Finger-Cold Needle.
The temperature was quite normal.
This indicated that this was not the ghost room.
"How strange, it's not a ghost room yet it's so eerie..."
Zhou Qiaoling mumbled, about to leave, when her gaze was suddenly drawn to an exquisitely crafted divination cylinder on the bedside table.
"What is this?"
Zhou Qiaoling's eyes lit up, her legs no longer weak, her hands no longer trembling, and she rushed over to pick up the divination cylinder.
The mont she grabbed the item, a System prompt appeared next to the divination box:
【Cursed Item: Yin and Yang Divination Bones】
【Each box of Yin and Yang Divination Bones contains 10 bone slips. Different drawing results may bring unexpected effects...】
"Divination?"
Zhou Qiaoling couldn't suppress her curiosity; the urge to draw a lot was stirring within her.
Unlike her unlucky older brother, she was very confident in her luck.
"Good luck!"
She shouted, closed her eyes, and randomly drew a bone slip from the divination cylinder.
She opened her eyes.
On the bone slip, there was an exquisite drawing, depicting the scene of the early dawn rising.
Below the bone slip was written:
【Good: Purple Qi from the East】
The next mont, Zhou Qiaoling felt the uneasy feeling from before suddenly disappear, and her entire body beca lighter.
"Hoo! Sanity Value filled up!"
Zhou Qiaoling's eyes lit up.
This was a good thing!
"Again, again!"
Zhou Qiaoling pressed her advantage and pulled out another one.
This ti, her luck wasn't so good.
The early dawn rising turned into dark clouds obscuring the moon.
【Bad: Grand Yin Soul-Seizing】
Zhou Qiaoling's heart trembled, and before she could react, the pattern on the bone slip suddenly changed.
The scene of dark clouds obscuring the moon slowly dissipated, replaced by a calm, tranquil water surface.
【Neutral: Mirror Flower Water Moon】
She waited for a long ti, but nothing happened.
Zhou Qiaoling finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Haha, it seems this slip is a good treasure~~"
At this point, she felt she couldn't stop, and enthusiastically drew another one.
On the bone slip, a ferocious-looking ghost was imprisoned within a jail.
Below it was written:
【Neutral: Heaven and Earth Net】
"Heaven and Earth Net?"
Zhou Qiaoling raised an eyebrow, imdiately recalling the immortal spell, 【Heavenly Prison】, that Zhou Yue had recently comprehended in ""Clash of Immortals and Demons"."
She said to herself with a giggle:
"It's quite a match for my unlucky older brother..."
She curiously surveyed her surroundings but found that nothing had appeared.
"Strange..."
"Why did nothing happen with this slip?"
...
...
At the sa ti.
On the other side.
Zhou Yue, who had inexplicably arrived in the basent by heading north, was holding his Finger-Cold Needle and asuring the temperature everywhere.
"Hiss... hiss..."
As Zhou Yue went deeper, the Finger-Cold Needle rapidly turned towards the direction marked 【Cold】.
"I found it! I found the ghost room!"
Zhou Yue was overjoyed and exclaid.
Just then—
"Bang!"
The iron door of the basent above his head suddenly closed.
