Lin Xi dragged a group of people back to the haunted house.
Starting with Ji Heng, one after another they fell to the ground, falling straight down like dominoes.
"Ouch!" Ji Heng rubbed his bottom. "Huh? I'm back to normal!!"
Yun Yan and Ling Xiao also turned back into adults, no longer in their little kid state.
Yun Yan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to shut himself in, facing the wall.
Ling Xiao stood aside, awaiting his junior master's orders.
All of this happened too fast to be explained by science, and Yu Jinquan and Qu Feng remained calm.
Having gone through this, I won't be shocked by anything that happens next.
The two stood up and thanked her, "Thank you, sister."
Ji Heng corrected them, "You should call him a master."
Yu Jinquan changed his address, saying, "Thank you, Master."
Qu Feng bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."
Lin Xi waved her hand, "No need to thank me, your parents will pay for it."
Yu Jinquan felt the man who had just spoken looked very familiar, so he leaned closer and asked, "Do we know each other?"
Ji Heng raised his chin. "We are roommates."
Yu Jinquan remembered, "Ji Heng, it's you."
Qu Feng also came over, and the three of them immediately had tears in their eyes, standing together to reminisce.
"Brother Heng, it's been a long time. I never knew your identity was so mysterious. I'll be counting on you from now on."
"Keep it low-key, it's just average."
"Brother Heng, you're too modest."
Ji Heng grinned foolishly.
Finally, someone calls him "brother," and it feels amazing.
The next second, he kicked a hard object and started dancing on the spot.
"Aaaaaah! What is that?!"
The image of Heng Ge that had just been established was instantly shattered.
Yu Jinquan was startled and looked around. "There's no one else here... Holy crap!!"
A blood-soaked corpse lay silently, its flat face facing him, without a nose, eyes, or ears.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, and the haunted house exuded an ominous atmosphere.
Yu Jinquan retreated frantically, crying out, "Mommy!"
Qu Feng comforted him, "Don't be afraid, the master led us out, we're not in that weird classroom anymore... Holy crap!!"
A blood-red face came into view, and he screamed in terror, "What is this?!"
Lin Xi said calmly, "Your roommates."
Yu Jinquan and Qu Feng understood.
The blood-soaked figure on the ground is Wu Bumang; he is truly dead.
The two retreated to a corner, not daring to look at the ground.
"Master, we want to go home."
"I miss the dumplings my mom makes."
"I miss my dad's fried rice with eggs."
Ji Heng's lips twitched. His two foodie roommates, upon seeing a bloody corpse, immediately thought of food.
Lin Xi glanced at the group and said, "Of course."
It's a miracle that these four people—the number one daredevil, the number two crybaby, the number three idiot, and the number four genius—have survived to this day.
The mission to rescue Yu Jinquan and Qu Feng has been completed.
Once they got home, the matter was over, and they no longer had to carry two extra burdens.
Lin Xi touched her chin, feeling that something was off. The Ghost Realm was simpler than she had imagined.
And what about the fragments?
Never mind, I'll go out and rest first.
Lin Xi retrieved the yellow talisman rope, but a small section of the end broke off.
She ignored the trivial matter and said, "I'm leaving."
Five people followed closely behind.
Yu Jinquan asked in confusion, "Where is the door to the secret room?"
Ji Heng explained simply, "The big boss was blown up."
Yu Jinquan gave a thumbs up, "No wonder you're a big shot, so amazing at such a young age."
Ji Heng got really excited when he brought this up, "Let me tell you, the biggest boss is the most powerful, she..."
Ling Xiao listened with great interest and finally understood why his junior master had taken care of the silly boy; it turned out he knew how to flatter.
Yun Yan ignored the nonsense and caught up with Lin Xi in a few steps. "Little Master, I'll take them to the police station."
"Okay, thank you." Lin Xi said as she walked and looked around.
The surroundings were very clean and excessively quiet.
The sky was gloomy, as if a thick veil had covered the sun, creating an oppressive and heavy atmosphere.
Ji Heng looked up at the sky. "It's going to rain soon."
“It’s not raining.” Lin Xi pointed to a spot. “Do you see that beam of light?”
Everyone was very familiar with it; the last thing they saw upon entering the strange classroom was this beam of light.
Yun Yan frowned slightly. "There's an entrance to a ghost realm above the amusement park."
Lin Xi climbed the tall building step by step, glanced into the distance, and her expression gradually became serious.
"It's not just the amusement park; the ghost realm covers most of the city and has at least five entrances."
Yun Yan's expression immediately changed. "The entire city will become a playground for ghosts and monsters."
Ji Heng scratched his head, "It means that everyone in Anchuan, whether old or young, will be dragged into this class. It's terrifying."
High school students are the slowest to die, followed by junior high school students.
College students like them hand in their brains along with their exam papers, their intelligence and physical strength plummeting to rock bottom.
You can't pass the exam, you can't outrun the enemy, and you'll die instantly if you enter the Ghost Realm.
Lin Xi squinted. Taking classes was a wicked hobby of the Ghost Realm, and different people had different ways of doing it.
Ordinary people are bound to die; it's just a matter of time.
Ghost Domain was very confident that humans could not escape its grasp, so it deliberately left Jiang Chi and the others to play with at their leisure.
However, Linxi violently broke through one of the floors, destroying an entrance.
The ghost realm was frightened and deliberately threw her out, quickly absorbing her life force to increase its strength.
At this moment, the entire city was eerily quiet, with dark clouds drifting like ghosts and not a single ray of sunlight falling.
Yun Yan drew his coin sword, ready for battle. "Junior Grandmaster, we'll take them down one by one."
“This is too slow. The Ghost Realm is in a hurry now. We can’t afford to lose our composure.” Lin Xi’s eyes sharpened. “The Ghost Realm has huge ambitions and wants to devour the entire city. This will take some time.”
Yun Yan understood. "During this period, as long as we destroy all the entrances and exits, the Ghost Realm will disappear."
Lin Xi looked at the gray sky and said, "It's too late. We need to find the core power that supports the Ghost Realm, which is the fragment."
Yun Yan frowned even more. "The fragments aren't large, but Anchuan covers tens of thousands of square kilometers. Where are we going to find them?"
"I have a way." Lin Xi brandished her sword.
A ray of light fell into the air and turned into an extremely thin white line.
Lin Xi pinched the white thread, feeling the continuous flow of energy.
Images flashed through my mind, eventually settling into endless darkness, indistinct and untouchable.
Thump—!
Lin Xi suddenly opened her eyes, her heart pounding wildly. The feeling she had just experienced was both familiar and strange.
The strange sound seemed to come from the ancient river of history, or perhaps it was part of the body, indistinguishable from a rumbling stomach.
We must find the source of the ghost realm as soon as possible and save this city; we cannot allow anything else to influence it.
Lin Xi focused her mind, but an inexplicable force was blocking her way. She gripped the white line tightly, breaking through numerous obstacles, and the image reappeared in her mind.
This time it was crystal clear; she saw it.
Lush green trees, winding paths, and a Taoist temple with incense burning, its plaque bearing three large characters.
Yuanqing Temple!!!
As the white line turned to ashes, Lin Xi felt increasingly uneasy, and she spoke slowly and deliberately.
"The fragments are hidden in Yuanqing Temple."
