At least, once we're outside, we definitely won't see those demons and monsters depicted in those murals!

And those demonic faces that kept lunging at me!

I have to say, this is a good thing...

Those people who rushed out of the murals we just saw, whether it was Fatty Zhou, Xiao Yuan, or the woman in the green dress...

Although they are all phantoms, I have concluded that they have one thing in common: they come from the shallow layer.

Is this implying something? Tell me, can we go directly to the shallow layers from here?

At least we don't have to suffer all sorts of torment in this place.

The walls of the Shenluopan Temple are constantly collapsing. Even if we manage to get up there, we'll probably be crushed into mincemeat.

But now, this is just a safe and secure room.

For the time being, there doesn't seem to be any place where there is ventilation or air exchange.

The only door we had just seen was the exit under the curtain, but now it's become a wall, completely blocking any possibility of us turning back.

I just checked it again carefully, and I really didn't find a single opening leading to the outside.

I'm afraid that if things continue like this, the girl and I will suffocate from lack of oxygen before this hell even kills us.

I imagined that scene and couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing my hesitation, the girl continued, "Brother, perhaps this mural draws energy from the outside world, and it's hinting that we should go out and not be trapped in the present!"

Listening to the girl's words, I felt like I suddenly understood.

Could it be that the Shenluopan Palace was originally collapsed and impossible to leave, and we stumbled upon this palace by accident, and it turned out to be the right place?

But if this path is really correct, then why do the people in these murals keep changing? And why do they even come out to scare me?

We can't exactly call this a test.

I shook my head at the girl, not giving her a definite answer for the time being.

He then shared his thoughts with Lei Jijian.

"Master, what are you still hesitating about... Have you forgotten that many things in this house are not real?!"

Just like when you saw that woman in green, it was only in your dream!

Don't you remember that little fake corpse?

What Lao Liu said at the time...

This thing... has absolutely no potential; it was just something those bastards in management made.

If that woman is also a fake corpse, then she won't have any impact on us at all!

As for Fatty Zhou and Xiao Yuan, they are just things in your memory.

Even if some afterimages appeared just now, they didn't cause you any physical damage, did they?

Anyone who comes here and hears this music will be captivated!

This might not even be about the contract, but rather because of this piece of music!

This is such a damn hassle.

I mentally groaned and scratched my head in frustration.

Simply waiting like this isn't a good approach.

Seeing that I hadn't spoken, the girl realized that I was talking to Lei Jijian.

She simply patted my shoulder to comfort me.

"Brother, I think we should give it a try. This might be the way out."

"Then we really did stumble upon the right place by accident."

I didn't say anything, I just let the girl pull me out.

But as soon as the girl took a step toward the mural, the mural's propulsion seemed to fail.

Wait a minute, I just tried to take a small step forward and I clearly felt a powerful force pushing me back, as if it was trying to suppress me.

But looking at the mural in front of me, it seems it wouldn't push the girl?

However, the girl only took one step forward, and the mural, which had been bright just moments before, suddenly became a little dim.

Holy crap?

My heart skipped a beat; indeed, we had never seen this before.

I stared intently at the mural, afraid of missing any changes in it.

The painting, which was clearly shimmering with light, now seemed to be covered by a layer of black, as if many years had passed in an instant.

The girl, refusing to believe it, took another big step forward.

Sure enough, the light above became even dimmer.

It wasn't just the characters and the scene above that darkened, but especially their eyes.

I saw it very clearly; the most obvious thing in that painting was their eyes.

It's precisely because the eyes are so vividly drawn that I feel this painting is truly lifelike, as if the real person is right in front of me.

It was precisely because the girl took those two steps that their eyes began to dim rapidly, as if they had become black holes, or like demons, captivating the soul and making people afraid to look at them for fear of being trapped.

She took two steps, but the mural had no impact on the girl whatsoever.

He simply let the girl walk forward little by little.

I was completely stunned when I saw this. I had been blocked outside the whole time and couldn't move an inch.

Why doesn't the mural put pressure on the girl? Is it because the girl has a connection with the mural?

Or is it possible that the person who built the manor and the person who carved this mural are the same person?

I also had Lei Jijian try to rush forward, but no matter how hard we tried, or even mobilized our internal energy to propel ourselves forward, it was no use.

They will all be subject to some degree of pushing force.

Even during its first charge, Lei Jijian was suddenly slapped back.

It really felt like there was some force suppressing us.

What happened?

Is there something special about the girl?

I really can't figure it out.

As I thought about it, I felt even more strongly that I should go outside.

They suppressed me and Lei Jijian here, while the girl could move forward unimpeded. This was a clear indication of her survival!

The girl took two steps, and seeing that I was still standing there in a daze, she turned around and looked at me with some confusion.

"Brother, why aren't you moving?"

Her eyes were full of innocent cuteness, and her silly appearance made me chuckle.

But I remember we were almost on the same wavelength just now.

How come she can leave but I can't?

"Yeah, I don't know either, I just couldn't move!"

I was so angry I almost laughed, and I just stared at him with wide eyes as I spoke.

At that moment, the girl looked at me with some fear, as if she had also sensed that something was wrong.

Even the way she looked at me seemed like she was looking at something strange and terrifying.

"Brother...your eyes...your eyes have become dark and hollow!"

ah?

I was suddenly startled; my vision had turned black?
