"Are you too sleepy?" Lu Cai stood up straight and looked at Chen Yina with "doubt".

Chen Yina stared at the fog-covered mirror, the image in the mirror was blurry.

"But... maybe..."

Lu Cai walked out of the bathroom with a relaxed look on his face. She stopped at the door and looked back at Chen Yina: "It's too late, you should go to bed early..."

After saying that, she returned to the bed and fell onto the quilt.

How to clear the supernatural dungeon? Is catching the ghost enough to clear it?

I wonder what level the ghost in this house is. Compared with the mutant zombies, which one is more powerful?

While paying attention to Chen Yina's movements, Lu Cai didn't get up until she ran back to her bed. "Do you want to turn off the lights?"

"Don't turn it off..." Chen Yina turned over and looked at Lu Cai with a frightened look.

"I turned off the main lights." Lu Cai stood up and turned off the most glaring light on the ceiling, leaving the lights in the corners and on the bedside.

She turned around and noticed that there was a slightly raised rectangle on the wall opposite the end of the bed, which looked like a decoration at first glance.

After staring at the bulge for a while, Lu Cai returned to the bed.

I don’t know what kind of ghost is coming to entertain them tonight.

......

Everything was silent except for the whirring sound of the air conditioner.

Lu Cai pulled at the quilt and felt very cold. However, she didn't hear any movement, so she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but nothing had happened yet. She could only stare blankly at the card slot interface in her mind.

The previously empty card slot was filled again, with the bag of glutinous rice flour he'd found. After inserting it, Lu Cai realized it was called "Unlimited Glutinous Rice Flour." He hadn't realized this KB game was actually a food game...

It's getting colder...

Lu Cai opened his eyes and the room was dark.

The bedside lamp and the light in the corner seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze, blocking the light and making the room dim.

She was lying on her side facing Chen Yina's bed. Across the aisle, Lu Cai saw a white shadow lying on top of Chen Yina. The shadow's long hair drooped, forming a shield that covered Chen Yina's head tightly.

Lu Cai slowed down his breathing, but his uncontrollable irritability gradually got out of control.

What the hell is this? Lu Cai's breathing quickened. Where did it come from? The bathroom?

She felt the coldness in her heart growing stronger, but she didn't dare to move.

Anyway, she wasn't the one being targeted, so she might as well hold off for now...

The light grew dimmer.

Lu Cai felt sleepiness coming on, his eyelids slowly closed, and the coldness spread deep into his bones.

[Is this the ghost's 'psychic attack'?]

She closed her eyes again, clenched her fists, and the heat from her right wrist flowed along the meridians of her arm, continuously flowing throughout her body.

“Chuckle—”

The laughter was faint, coming from far away.

She didn't open her eyes immediately. If nothing unexpected happened, she would definitely get hit in the face. When she observed the white-haired ghost just now, she noticed its numerical arrangement.

The data of the long-haired ghost is reversed, and each string of numbers is like a reflection in a mirror.

Mirror? The one in the bathroom?

Regardless, since it chose to attack mentally, it meant it couldn't directly inflict physical damage. I can't recall where I saw this rumor, but it said that before harming someone, evil spirits would scare them in every possible way because the yang energy in a person harms the spirit. So, they chose to scare people first, disrupting their mental thoughts and weakening their mental defenses, so they could directly attack the spiritual world.

Even if it can catch and beat people, it is good news for Lu Cai. After all, she still has some confidence when it comes to fighting.

Lu Cai slowly opened his eyes, feeling unexpected yet reasonable.

Thick layers of hair hung in front of her eyes, obscuring her vision. A faint, cold breeze brushed past her ears.

My goodness, this ghost jumped directly onto her bed.

Lu Cai didn't move, not even turning around. She wanted to see what the long-haired ghost would do if she remained unmoved.

Although she felt relieved, she still clenched her fists in preparation for battle.

The room was unusually quiet; not even Chen Yina's breathing could be heard. There was only the whirring sound of the air conditioner.

Just like this stalemate...

Boom, boom, boom.

Cai Lu frowned as someone was knocking on the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

It's very regular, stopping for a while and then making a sound.

"Um..." Chen Yina propped herself up unsteadily, "Who...ah——"

The scream was piercing and loud. Lu Cai sat up suddenly and pressed the quilt against the back of the figure that was enveloping her. The movement was too fast, and she didn't have time to see the long-haired ghost's appearance clearly. She only felt the thing in the quilt under her hand struggle a few times, and then gradually stopped moving, and the bulge in the quilt slowly sank.

Lu Cai lifted the quilt and found it was empty.

The lights in the room came on again.

Chen Yina was shivering on the bed: "Chef Lu..." She looked at Chef Lu for help.

After taking a closer look at the quilt in her hand, she threw it away.

Lu Cai jumped off the bed. She walked to the edge of Chen Yina's bed and began to carefully examine the marks on the quilt.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yina was scared from the bottom of her heart when she saw that she didn't speak and behaved so strangely.

"You just answered the knock on the door." Lu Cai said coldly.

Chen Yina was stunned, not understanding what she meant.

After only glancing at Chen Yina, Lu Cai continued to check for traces of the long-haired ghost. The long-haired ghost had originally come for Chen Yina, and it was Chen Yina's fear that gave it the strength to be tackled by Lu Cai through the quilt.

Because the data was reversed, it was easy to find traces from a pile of numbers. She followed the traces all the way to the TV wall.

Lu Cai frowned. The foot of the bed also faced a rectangular bulge.

He raised his hand and knocked, and it was the sound of a wooden board. He then felt around the edge of the rectangle, but couldn't make any sense, and couldn't see any discrepancies in the data.

A wooden board embedded inside, then covered with mud and paint? Could it be a secret compartment for ashes? Or perhaps a memorial tablet?

While guessing and knocking, Lu Cai believed that this was the hiding place of the white-shadow long-haired ghost.

After a long time of not finding a breakthrough, she simply clenched her fist and punched.

No matter what it is, she doesn't believe that after one punch, there will be nothing left.

When her fist was about to hit the wall, a force pulled her forward, and a "snap" sounded in her ears. After spinning, she fell onto the bed, covered with a quilt, with a dim ceiling above her head.

She returned to her bed.

Knock, knock, knock. The knock on the door sounded again.

What is going on?

Cai Lu tilted his head and looked at Chen Yina's bed. A woman was sitting on the bed, her long hair covering the entire bed. The light in the corner of the wall outlined a vague figure.

Is that Chen Yina, or the long-haired ghost?

Boom, boom, boom.

The knock on the door continued.

Lu Cai turned his head impatiently and saw a pale face with dark, lifeless eyes leaning on the pillow beside her, staring at her intently.

"Shit!" Lu Cai couldn't stand this kind of direct hit to the face without any psychological preparation, so he dodged back in shock.

There was a loud bang, her head hit the ground, and the lights suddenly became brighter.

"Lu Cai, are you okay?" The person on the bed climbed to the edge of the bed and looked at Lu Cai, who had fallen under the bed and was covering his head, with an innocent face.

It turned out to be Chen Yina.

"What are you doing in my bed?" Lu Cai propped himself up in annoyance. The long-haired ghost in the bed next door had disappeared, and the knocking on the door had subsided.

Chen Yina looked at Lu Cai with some fear: "Because I saw a ghost last night and I was scared, you let me sleep with you..."

Last night?

Lu Cai looked around. It was the same room again. This time jump was too unethical... His gaze paused again on the wall. There, indeed, was the breakthrough point. Too bad, there was no physical solution. What if it jumped to the next day again...

"What happened last night?" Cai Lu asked. She needed to know how things developed in Chen Yina's eyes.

She was trapped in this time period, and the strange events that happened in the room were a side story.

Chen Yina looked at Lu Cai worriedly, but still stepped back to make room. "Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a woman in white staring at me from the ceiling. I screamed in fright, and even Ling Fei and the others next door were woken up..."

Lu Cai sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed the back of his head. The blank spaces in this dungeon were all fabricated, like a movie with only narration. It was full of flaws.

"It's haunted, why don't you change hotels? Or even change rooms?" Cai Lu looked at Chen Yina, but she didn't expect her to find anything amiss.

Chen Yina stuttered, "Well... maybe I'm too tired. I don't want to make everyone unhappy because of me... Besides, there are no other rooms in the hotel."

"Oh." Lu Cai nodded, "Let's go to sleep first. After all... we still have to go out and play tomorrow..."

Chen Yina smiled, her pale face was full of fatigue, but her eyes were full of excitement.

Lu Cai calmly lay down on the side of the bed, wrapping himself tightly in the snow-white quilt. What a joke! Who could sleep with this thing lying next to him?

How did they discover that something was wrong with "Chen Yina"? Because the codes in this room were mirror-reversed.

She speculated that the punch just now had directly pulled her into a different world, a world of ghosts.

If she throws another punch now, who knows if she will fall into a deeper world. First collect clues and then slowly decipher them.

"Are you afraid of ghosts?" "Chen Yina" beside him suddenly spoke.

Lu Cai closed his eyes and didn't move: "Sleep."

"Do you believe in evil spirits taking lives?" "Chen Yina" persisted.

"Go to sleep." Lu Cai suppressed Chen Yina's questioning voice with an imperative tone.

The questions asked by ghosts are often tempting and can be used as a starting point for a psychic attack. For example, in Japan, there is the famous legend of the "Slit-mouthed Woman." Regardless of whether a passerby answers "beautiful" or "not beautiful," they have already fallen into her trap.

As long as your thoughts are led by ghosts, it doesn’t matter what your answer is.

The girl next to me finally calmed down.

After a while, there was another rustling sound.

Chen Yina asked in horror, "Lu Cai, what's that sound?"

Lu Cai snorted coldly, and there was the sound of nails scraping against the ground.

"Lu Cai!" Chen Yina screamed and grabbed Lu Cai's arm tightly through the quilt.

“Chuckle—”

A strange laugh echoed from the bedside. Lu Cai twitched his right hand, only to find it was being held tightly by "Chen Yina." He couldn't move. He looked at "Chen Yina," who tilted her head back. Her face looked like she was smiling while crying.

She couldn't muster any strength, but the strange laughter was getting closer and closer.

"Lu Cai, I'm so scared, sob, sob, sob——" "Chen Yina" hugged her and cried like a ghost.

Lu Cai was helpless. She was the one who was afraid, okay? Her supernatural powers were useless just like that!

He was bitten hard on his left shoulder, and the smell of blood filled the room, but Lu Cai could not move.

Looking at the flipping numbers floating around the room, her ability to infect was ineffective!

Flip? Flip...

Fortunately, the ghost did not bite, but just scratched and sucked some blood.

Yes! This is a world turned upside down!

The white-robed, long-haired ghost in the normal world needs the fear of people to attach themselves to. The unknown ghost knocking on the door outside needs a response from people to attach themselves to...

Now it is Lu Cai who has entered this reversed world. Because the data on her body is completely different from that of this world, the power on her body is also invalid.

If you want to defeat them, you must assimilate yourself first.

So, she'll just be a ghost——

She closed her eyes and quickly copied the same data into her original database. Fortunately, she still had control over her database...

The newly copied data ball flickered, and she carefully dialed the new number. Initially tentative, she gradually grew bolder, pushing the pile of numbers, arranging them according to the mirror image...

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle--" The long-haired ghost released the meat in his mouth and took two steps back. His tongue was painful from being burned.

"Chen Yina" raised her head and looked at Lu Cai with his eyes closed, cold sweat on his forehead.

"Are you afraid of ghosts?" Lu Cai suddenly asked her.

"Chen Yina" opened her eyes wide, a little confused.

"Do you believe in evil spirits taking lives?" Lu Cai opened his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth. "I firmly believe it."

Chen Yina raised her head, looking somewhat naive and confused: "Do you really believe it?"

"Yeah..." Lu Cai put away his smile, "You forgot, you can't answer the evil ghost's questions..."

"Chen Yina" didn't understand, but the next moment, she heard the sound of broken bones in her wrists. She took a breath, but she didn't feel any pain. It was just that the evil energy coming towards her made her tremble uncontrollably.

Ghosts love yin energy but fear the presence of stronger beings. It's human nature to bully the weak and to pick on the weak and fear the strong. When people experience death, they shed the constraints of propriety, morality, and ethics and begin to unleash their true nature.

"Chen Yina" shrank back. She watched the girl in the black T-shirt beside her leap up, grab the long-haired ghost at the head of the bed, press it on the bed, and pinch the back of the long-haired ghost's neck with her fingers.

Blood was flowing from the girl's shoulder, dripping onto the white mattress next to the long-haired ghost face.

Cai Lu raised his head and his gaze stopped on the face of "Chen Yina" who had not yet come to her senses.

"I'm giving you a choice. Do you want to tell me 'what's going on here' on your own initiative, or do you want me to force you to tell me?" Lu Cai's tone was calm, and her expression was unperturbed, but it was clear that she wasn't just bluffing.

"Lu Cai, what did you say?" "Chen Yina" said aggrievedly, pouting, her eyes red, "My wrist hurts so much--" She stepped back, a red barrier enveloped her, unable to move.

"Let me tell you how painful it would be for a normal human being to break his hand—" Lu Cai pressed hard on the back of the long-haired ghost's neck, and a red patch appeared under his palm.

The long-haired ghost began to struggle violently, revealing his face: "Swish, swish, swish--" In the center of his face, there was only a bloody mouth, and the rest of his facial features became flat skin.

"As a man-eating evil ghost, can't you even speak human language?" Lu Cai tilted his head in confusion. "You can't even deceive people, won't you starve to death?"

Long-haired ghost...

"You can't get out even if you kill us!" the long-haired ghost said resentfully.

The plaques under Lu Cai's hands slowly spread: "Wow, you can talk——"

The long-haired ghost's mouth was wide open, its jagged fangs stacked in four or five rows. Its mouth was filled with black skin and smelled strongly of blood. It screamed with its mouth open, and the red spots on the back of its neck covered its face.

The shrill ghost howls sounded like the cries of a strange bird in the dense forest on a dark night in deep winter.

It would be uncomfortable to know that the data was hacked, but Lu Cai didn't expect it to be so painful.

"You can't get out!" It laughed "hehehe".

Lu Cai allowed the red data to invade crazily, causing the long-haired ghost to continuously shrink and twist. Amidst its sharp, strange cries, the sounds of bones breaking could be discerned.

After a while, the long-haired ghost looked like he had been soaked in a pool of blood, and his whole body was red.

Lu Cai loosened his grip and looked at the long-haired ghost lying on the ground like mud. The red data cleaned itself up bit by bit and turned into fine ashes.

"Chen Yina" was shocked by the scene before her. In all the years she had been a ghost, this was the first time she had witnessed a ghost disappear in front of her eyes.

"Wuwuwu, please spare my life, sir——" "Chen Yina" was trembling and couldn't even speak clearly.

In the hunt just now, it was Chen Yina who held Lu Cai back, and then the long-haired ghost attacked. The long-haired ghost could have bitten off Lu Cai's neck in one bite, but it hesitated to do so.

It only means that there are ghosts with higher levels than the long-haired ghost present. According to the hunting rules of animal groups, the noble and superior ones will enjoy the food first.

Cai Lu looked at the pitiful "Chen Yina" and shook his arm, revealing the bandage covered with red fluorescence.

"I don't like to say things twice." She looked at the female ghost on the bed, raised her foot and stepped on the edge of the bed, as if waiting for the female ghost to make a choice.

"Chen Yina" swallowed her saliva. Who the hell said that the people in this room have the weakest yang energy and are the easiest to deal with?

The Yang energy is declining, and the opponent's Yin energy is so strong that he is just like the leader of evil spirits, okay?

"This is a ghost illusion, a netherworld recreated by the power of ghosts--" "Chen Yina" answered quickly.

"Where is the entrance and exit?" Lu Cai looked at her coldly. This female ghost was being cunning and talking a lot of nonsense.

Chen Yina said with a bitter face: "This is restricted. Before we tell you the exit location, it will be reduced to ashes-"

"Do you have a boss above you?" Lu Cai seemed to be thinking about something.

"Chen Yina" shut up and looked very unhappy.

"Besides me, has anyone else come in?" Lu Cai felt that since even he could find the suspicious protrusion on the wall, Yue Xiaoyan and Shi Rukui should be able to find it as well.

"There are two other people in this illusion..." "Chen Yina" smiled, a little sinisterly.

Cai Lu clenched his fists, and the other party quickly stopped laughing.

"Good man, although you are in a fantasy space, there are many obstacles between you and your life at any time..." "Chen Yina" said with a sincere face and caring eyes, "I think your relationship with them is average, there is no need to put yourself in danger-"

Lu Cai pressed his body closer, and the red barrier that imprisoned the female ghost became tighter.

"I want you to teach me how to behave?" Lu Cai raised his eyebrows. "Don't confuse me with your ghostly aura, or I'll tear your head off right now."

The female ghost stopped talking altogether.

Lu Cai put her foot down, walked to the TV wall, and touched the rectangular protrusion on the wall. The data here did not have the high defense performance of the real world. She just touched it lightly and it was infected.

As the red soaked in layer by layer, the white paint shrank and fell off the wall, revealing the old, mottled wooden boards.

She grabbed the joint of the wooden boards with both hands, lifted them up hard, and saw a dusty mirror.

Throwing the wooden board on the ground, Cai Lu carefully examined the mirror.

The mirror reflects everything in the room, and looking at the flipped data through the mirror, they are all codes of the normal world.

She walked to the other side of the sealed rectangle and removed the wooden board using the same method as before.

There was also a mirror hidden inside, but the mirror was broken into pieces.

"This is really cruel. They actually put the mirror facing the bed..." Lu Cai's fingertips brushed across the crack.

"That was broken by you--" the female ghost said hesitantly. When she learned that Lu Cai could break the ghost mirror with his bare hands, she should have left No. 204 immediately.

If I break the other mirror, can I get out? Lu Cai looked at the intact mirror.

"It's useless..." The female ghost seemed accustomed to this scene, "In this illusion, the mirror is just a decoration."

She saw Lu Cai turn sideways and look back. In the dim light, he looked like a bloodthirsty demon. The ghost shuddered and her voice faded away. "I'm just afraid that you, my good man...will waste your energy..." She shrank her neck as she finished speaking.

At this time, the red barrier around the female ghost gradually moved closer, wrapping her tightly inside.

"Good man! Good man——" the female ghost screamed.

The red barrier shrank and gathered, and as the ghost girl screamed, it gathered on her neck, forming a circle of red scars.

Lu Cai stood up and walked towards the door.

The female ghost discovered that her restraints were gone, and she herself had not vanished into thin air. She opened her eyes in shock and delight, looking at Lu Cai's back. Just as she was about to turn into light smoke and escape, she felt a burning sensation on her neck...

"Don't lie in bed anymore, lead the way—" Lu Cai stood by the closed door without even looking back.

The ghost girl pouted and rose from the bed. Her hair was still disheveled, but her pajamas had been replaced with a light blue plaid dress, and she wore white socks and black canvas shoes. The fabric was tattered, and there were black stains on the hem of her skirt, which she couldn't tell if they were bloodstains. Her socks were also stained, and her canvas shoes had completely come unglued.

Lu Cai looked at the girl beside him. Beneath her tangled long hair was a pale, distorted face. Her lips were sunken, her face was unevenly swollen, and her eyes were squeezed so tightly that they were almost invisible.

In terms of height, the female ghost was taller than Lu Cai. She turned her head slightly and met Lu Cai's eyes.

"I look scary, right?" The female ghost said without moving her mouth, but there was a hint of pride in her tone.

Lu Cai shook her head. The zombies she had seen were much scarier than female ghosts.

"Open the door—" Lu Cai withdrew his gaze.

The ghost looked at Lu Cai gloomily, but when she saw that he didn't flinch, she knew that he really wasn't afraid. She raised her hand and touched her face. Usually, other ghosts would laugh at her because her face was deformed. She was quite proud of how well she could scare people.

Now, you can't even scare people? Lu Cai was so scared that he fell off the bed just now!

Oh, it wasn’t my own face that was used just now... Sighing, the female ghost reached out and scratched the door.

With a creak, the door opened outwards.

Outside the door were countless distorted spaces, countless corridors, and many guest room doors, like a huge mirror that had been broken into many pieces.

"You choose a path..." The ghost girl grinned, "Life or death depends on your luck."
