"I must save him... I must save him!"
Duan Hongzhen sighed, raised his hand and knocked Tang Mianmian unconscious.
Everyone was silent for a few seconds, and finally turned to worry about Shen Yuan. Each of them was injured to varying degrees, and Shen Yuan had just been in the front line against the abyss demons and was the most seriously injured. His condition was extremely critical at the moment. They had to leave this copy as soon as possible and return to the Abyss City.
Duan Hongzhen carried Tang Mianmian with one hand, Xue Junli and Yu Fuling each helped Shen Yuan up, and everyone hurried away.
Xiao Tangqiu immediately floated up and followed. He sometimes looked at the unconscious Shen Yuan, and sometimes looked at the knocked-out Tang Mianmian. His mood became heavier and heavier. He wanted to tell everyone that he was still alive, but he couldn't.
A moment later, they returned to the tunnel they had come from. Duan Hongzhen turned and asked Xue Junli, "Can we leave this instance by following this tunnel?"
Xue Junli frowned and said, "Theoretically, that should be the case. Our ultimate mission is to escape from Hundred Ghost Town. Originally, after we eliminated the mountain god, we should be able to leave Hundred Ghost Town by simply following this tunnel... But now that Lili Marlene and the others have gotten involved, I'm not so sure anymore."
"No matter what! We have to give it a try!" Yu Fuling gritted her teeth.
Everyone rushed into the tunnel without hesitation, and Xiao Tangqiu followed in. For some reason, as soon as he entered the tunnel, he felt dizzy, as if some powerful force was dragging his soul. He endured the discomfort and continued to follow Xue Junli and others.
Xiao Tangqiu, who was in ghost state, was keenly aware of some things that he could not perceive when he was alive, but he could not put it into words. He could only feel that this tunnel had a magnetic field that was different from other places.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly felt dizzy and felt like he was thrown into a washing machine. His whole body... no, his whole body was tumbling and spinning. He was conscious and could only vaguely see Xue Junli and others being sucked into a black vortex. He subconsciously realized that it seemed to be a "wall" leading to the City of Abyss, and immediately rushed towards the vortex. However, the next second, the vortex disappeared on the spot.
The distorted magnetic field disappeared instantly, and his discomfort also disappeared.
Xue Junli and others also disappeared.
Xiao Tangqiu floated in the air in a daze. After a moment, he realized that Xue Junli and the others had successfully returned to the City of Abyss.
And he was left in the copy world, in this copy.
Xiao Tangqiu naturally did not want to accept this result. He frantically searched in the tunnel for a passage to leave the copy world. However, no matter how many times he searched in the tunnel, he found nothing.
He didn't know how long he had been searching, but the tunnel was still just a tunnel. In the end, he could only float out of the tunnel covered in dust and planned to look somewhere else.
Hyakki Village is still in ruins. The sacred mountain and Kisaragi Shrine have collapsed. There is deathly silence everywhere, and even the few remaining villagers have disappeared.
Xiao Tangqiu wandered aimlessly in the ruins. He was dazed and numb, like a wronged ghost wandering around the Village of Hundred Ghosts...but he couldn't even encounter a ghost.
After that sacrifice, the entire Baigui Village was barren and lifeless, but for Xiao Tangqiu, this state was actually quite comfortable, because the heavier the yin energy, the more comfortable he felt. The yin energy cleansed his soul all the time, just like the warmth of a hot spring.
Xiao Tangqiu didn't know how long he had been wandering in the Ghost Village. Since ghosts didn't need to rest or eat, he stayed alert every moment, and the passage of time seemed longer and more tiring.
After wandering aimlessly for a long time, he returned to the tunnel again, holding on to the last glimmer of hope to leave the copy... This time he still couldn't find the door to leave the copy, but entered the Hundred Ghosts Town through the tunnel again.
Baigui Town was also in ruins, but since the map was much larger than Baigui Village, he felt a little more relaxed and continued to wander in Baigui Town.
There is no ghost in Baigui Town either, but the yin energy is heavier than that in Baigui Village. Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but immerse himself in this thick yin energy, feeling as dizzy as a drunkard.
