Kulei, with his quick temper, turned around and thrust his hand into the white mist, while everyone else held their breath.

Kulai's expression changed drastically, and he slowly said, "That place is also a secret realm."

"What?"

The musician said cautiously, "This secret realm is quite peculiar. Normally, the mission areas inside secret realms wouldn't have such partitions, unless there are any forbidden areas or extra mission trigger locations."

The situation ahead is unclear; we must be extra cautious.

The three captains exchanged glances and quickly made a decision:

"Get ready and set off!"

Without further ado, the three teams formed their own groups.

"Chess Player" Bai Xie establishes connections on his teammates; "Arsenal" Tian Tiantian places groups of sensors on her teammates; "Speech Master" Qing Shu lays out speech spells on his companions.

With everything ready, the three teams entered the white fog together.

A strong suction followed, and after a moment of dizziness, vision returned to normal.

As consciousness returned and the scenery came into view, the group remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, the actor let out a soft sigh and exclaimed, "Indeed eerie."

What comes into view is the familiar residence of the Holy Son Mingxi at the eastern end of Jinchan Village.

Completely unfamiliar was the village behind the house, where men were seen bringing women around.

Tian Tiantian's gaze froze, her face suddenly turned pale, and her pupils dilated.

She tremblingly raised her hand and grabbed her captain's sleeve: "Captain, Captain, there... there's a ghost there!!"

Xunfeng looked in the direction she was pointing, his expression changing slightly: "How is that possible?"

The caged bird looked at the woman Tian Tiantian was pointing to and was shocked to discover:

"This is the woman whose remains we found by the dried-up river!"

Everyone fell silent, a chill running down their spines.

"What exactly is going on?"

This really wasn't a horror story, but I still managed to scare myself while writing it...

Another night... a night when I want to go to the toilet...
