"Yes, this time we ran, so we were fast enough, right? Even if the Ghost Mother tries to be clever on the stairs, the mechanism has to be faster than us. But I didn't sense any mechanism at all, and the stairs didn't move. But when I walked around, it felt like I was walking in a circle, even though I'm sure I was walking in a straight line and didn't turn. Damn it, we ran into another team. There's definitely something wrong with this."
Jiang Fu paused. "Did you encounter any unusual markers during your journey?"
Zhao Qixing thought for a moment, "No, I'm sure there isn't!"
"So you can just wander around wherever you want?"
Zhao Qixing's expression suddenly changed. "It wasn't exactly random wandering. It was pitch black all around, so we shone our flashlights and followed the light. Thinking back, when we shone the flashlights, some of the steps seemed brighter than the surrounding ones, and we basically just followed the brighter areas, didn't we..."
Jiang Fu didn't speak, but some people had already figured it out and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! So the brightness of those steps is different on the same side, deliberately leading us astray."
"Damn, that's really true. Every step is slightly off. We're not walking in a straight line at all; we're probably just walking in a circle."
“There’s one more thing,” Jiang Fu said. “Those steps are definitely not flat; they have a certain angle. It’s just that the surface of the steps is so large that people can’t notice it when they walk on them.”
"So what should we do now?"
Before Jiang Fu could answer, a voice suddenly rang out from above the empty altar.
"Jiang Fu, you're so slow!!!"
Shen Lanshang?
It was Shen Lanshang's voice. Many people were startled, followed by anger at being fooled.
"Shen Lanshang, stop playing tricks on me. If you've got the guts, give me a good fight."
"Damn it, Shen Lanshang, I'll haunt you even as a ghost."
The crowd grumbled and cursed, but received no further reply.
"Shen Lanshang, how dare you speak to me?"
"You dare to do it but not admit it? Bah!"
Jiang Fu looked up at the sky above the altar. "She can't hear it; the sounds from here probably won't reach her."
Jiang Fu remained expressionless, but his mind was in turmoil. Sure enough, there was a direct passage to the altar outside. Shen Lanshang's understanding of the Ghost Mother Kingdom was terrifying.
However, this also indicates that there is a way out from here.
Zhao Qixing spat and said, "Brother Jiang, we've figured out that the problem lies in this road. I'll go through it again, and I refuse to believe we won't find the exit. Once we get out, I'm going to smash that little bitch Shen Lanshang to pieces."
“No need to look anymore!” Jiang Fu said.
"Why?" Everyone was very surprised.
"Did you hear Shen Lanshang's voice just now?"
"Yes, so what?"
"Chen Lanshang's voice came from outside, appearing above the altar."
Zhao Qixing quickly realized what was happening and cursed under his breath, "Damn it! We really don't need to look anymore."
"Brother Jiang, what's going on? Explain it clearly, I don't understand what's going on!"
"This means that this is actually a sealed space, but it's built to be so large that we can't see it," Zhao Qixing relayed Jiang Fu's meaning with a hint of annoyance.
"Huh?" Everyone was surprised. "That's not right either, we didn't see a wall."
