Tong Liu was a little better, but Hu Tudao was like a dead pig; he rolled over and continued sleeping.

"Tong Liu, get up and take a look!" I ignored Hu Tudao and shouted at Tong Liu.

Tong Liu opened his eyes when he saw his surroundings.

"Holy crap!" Tong Liu yelled, jumping up abruptly, trembling all over, his face deathly pale, his voice shaking as he said, "Chang...Changming, how...how did we get here again?"

I tried to calm myself down, but the music playing around me made me uneasy. I said in a trembling voice, "I don't know either. Quickly wake Hutudao up."

Upon hearing this, Tong Liu seemed to only then notice Hu Tudao on the ground. As if he had found a backer, he squatted down and slapped Hu Tudao hard across the face.

"Ouch!" Hu Tudao cried out in pain, rubbing his face as he sat up. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Tong Liu who was still holding his hand up, and asked, "Sixth Brother, why did you hit me?"

“Look around for yourself,” Tong Liu said in a deep voice, his body trembling.

Hu Tudao looked around, then jumped up, trembling all over, and said in a trembling voice, "How did I get here?"

"You're asking me? I'd like to ask you the same thing! Didn't you say you'd already sent the little girl away?" Tong Liu grabbed Hu Tudao's collar and asked loudly.

"I did send him away, didn't I?" Hu Tudao's face turned ashen, and his whole body was trembling.

"Did you have any dreams?" I walked over and asked in a deep voice.

Hu Tudao thought for a moment, then said in a trembling voice, "Well... it seems I dreamed of a little girl."

“That’s right, it’s Xu Huihui. She hasn’t left yet, and she’s brought us here again.” I said, my face pale and my body trembling.

"What? She...she is Xu..." Hu Tudao hadn't finished speaking when the lights suddenly went out.

"Ahhh, a ghost!" In the darkness, I heard Hu Tudao scream and the sound of him falling to the ground.

My heart was pounding in my throat. It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see anything. The music stopped at that moment, which amplified Hu Tudao's terrified screams.

"Chang...Changming, did you...take your phone?" In the darkness, I heard Tong Liu's trembling voice.

I patted my pockets and said in a trembling voice, "No, what about you...?"

"I don't have one either. Oh right, I think I have a lighter in my pocket."

"Quick...quickly take it out and see where the switch is." I urged Tong Liu when I heard him say there was a lighter.

"good."

Then I heard a pop, and a small flame lit up, illuminating Tong Liu's pale face covered in sweat.

"Turn the fire up a bit," I said urgently as I moved closer.

Hu Tudao, who was on the ground, suddenly stopped yelling, slowly stood up, and ran over to us with a pale face when he saw the two of us.

Perhaps because Hutu was running too fast, the wind he created extinguished the flames.

The dance studio was plunged into darkness again. Hu Tudao screamed and hugged me tightly.

"Smack."

The flame flickered back on, and Tong Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with one hand, asking, "Do you know where the switch is?"

I pointed towards the doorway and said, "On the wall by the door."

Tong Liu walked over with a lighter in his hand, and I followed, dragging Hu Tudao along with me.

Tong Liu went to the switch, pressed it, and the dance studio instantly lit up.

But before we could even breathe a sigh of relief, the roller shutter door at the entrance suddenly slammed shut with a loud bang.

We were all startled, especially Hu Tudao. I felt his grip on me tighten, and his body was trembling.

Tong Liu was the calmer one among the three of us. He reached out and tried to pull the roller shutter door, but couldn't budge it. He looked at me and said, "Changming, what...what do we do now?"

My heart was pounding wildly, and I was completely at a loss. I felt the strength in my waist increasing. I reached out and pulled Hu Tudao off me, asking in a trembling voice, "Hu Tudao, aren't you a mage? What do we do now?"

"I...I...I don't know either!" Hu Tudao said, trembling.

"You think you can catch ghosts? Hurry up and get her away!" Tong Liu slapped Hu Tudao on the forehead and roared.

"That's how my dad taught me, I... I don't know why this happened." Hu Tudao reached up and touched his head, trembling with a wronged expression.

"Quickly think of any other solutions?" I asked hastily. After all, Tong Liu and I were both laymen, and only Hu Tudao was an expert. Only he could solve the problem at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Hu Tudao said tremblingly, "My father also taught me a powerful skill."

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and use it!" Tong Liu cursed and kicked Hu Tudao in the butt.

Hu Tudao didn't dare to say anything. He composed himself, bit the index finger of Hu Tudao's right hand, and started drawing on his left hand while muttering incantations.

I saw that Hu Tudao was already casting a spell, and for some reason I felt a little more at ease.

Hu Tudao drew for a while, then suddenly roared, "Lord Laozi, by your command, demons and monsters, get out of the way!"

Hu Tudao raised his left hand and kept slapping it in the air while chanting incantations.

Tong Liu and I observed our surroundings with a mixture of fear and nervousness.

Hu Tudao filmed for a while, and finally got so tired that he was panting heavily.

Tong Liu glanced around and asked, "Where's that filthy thing? Did you take care of it?"

Hu Tudao also looked around, trembling, and said in a trembling voice, "They should... be destroyed, right?"

"It's good that it's gone." Tong Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Hu Tudao's lack of confidence, I couldn't help but frown.

Just then, the lights in the dance studio started flickering, and music started playing. Not only music, but also a girl's laughter, which soon turned into crying.

"Ah!" Hu Tudao shouted, jumped over and hugged me tightly.

I was so scared that I was trembling all over, and my eyes darted around in terror.

Tong Liu also came closer to me, his face pale and his whole body trembling.

Suddenly, I saw what looked like a little girl standing in front of me, but she disappeared after the light flashed. My whole body tensed up.

"Who are you?" Tong Liu suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted.

"Sixth Bucket, what...did you see?" I asked in a trembling voice.

"There seems to be a little girl dancing over there, but she disappears after a while," Tong Liu said, trembling.

"I...I think I saw a little girl too."

“It must be…that filthy thing,” Hu Tudao said, his body trembling like a leaf.

That's what I was thinking too, but now the door is closed again, and I can't leave even if I want to.

"Where is she?" Hu Tudao suddenly pointed to a spot and shouted, while holding me tightly with his other hand.

I looked in the direction he pointed, but saw nothing. Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly felt a heat in my calf.

I frowned and looked down, only to find that my pants were soaked, and the source of the water was none other than Hu Tudao's pants.

Yes, Hutudao was terrified.
