Meanwhile, inside the house, in the ghostly realm...
The long-tongued ghost hanging from the rope, its light body seemingly swaying in the wind, murmured, "I died so tragically, all alone... so lonely..."
The room was filled with a chilling atmosphere. The rope that had appeared out of nowhere on the ceiling seemed to have eyes, and it coiled around the two of them like a python, causing their expressions to change.
Compared to the mother ghost and the girl ghost, this long-tongued ghost was clearly not one who could communicate. Under her ghostly suppression, both of them could only watch helplessly as the rope approached, unable to move.
The approaching rope was like a death knell!
Meanwhile, the long-tongued demon was still slowly approaching, its almost mournful voice echoing in the room, sinister and fierce.
Even in death, I will be alone...
"Why, why did you leave me all alone—"
It roared and lunged at the two of them, its long tongue lolling out. Its face was completely blank, devoid of any features, as smooth and flat as a mirror.
The long-tongued demon continued to wail, "I just have a birthmark, I just have a birthmark... Why, why—"
"Why is it that even though I've lost my face, even though I've peeled it off, you still won't accept me... Please, stay with me, just stay with me—"
"Come, come die with me!!!"
The yin energy surged, and the hemp rope almost tightened around Ji He and Cheng Yuwei's necks. After the wailing, accompanied by waves of sound, the long-tongued ghost's face, which was originally as smooth and flat as a mirror, seemed to have its disguise removed, and the skin peeled off layer by layer.
Finally, what came into view of the two of them was a face without skin, covered in blood, the entire face was a bloody mess!
In an instant, Cheng Yuwei's face turned deathly pale with fright.
Ji He barely managed to suppress the intense nausea, but the sense of crisis lingered. She subconsciously turned to look at Cheng Yuwei beside her.
...
When Ji He finally broke free of the Ghost Realm, her body was covered with marks from the ropes, especially around her neck, which had turned completely purplish-blue, making her look extremely disheveled.
"Great, finally... finally escaped—"
Before Ji He could finish speaking, her voice abruptly stopped. Only then did she realize that she had somehow wandered back to the living room. The two incredibly dangerous ghostly realms she had just encountered were both in this house, and most importantly—
The ghosts of the mother and the little girl were no longer visible in the room, but the room was still surrounded by yin energy, and the howling winds were accompanied by eerie crying sounds.
This is... the third ghost realm.
Upon realizing this, Ji He's heart sank to the bottom. This was not a single ghost realm, but a large, overlapping ghost realm that could kill people!
Who is controlling these vengeful spirits, causing them to gather?!
"It's nice to see you again, Ms. Ji He."
Just as Ji He was cautiously looking around, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. It was Ruan Qing'an, whom she had only recently parted ways with. And the person the three of them were going to kill this time was her!
At this moment, Ruan Qing'an was sitting on the sofa with two steaming cups of tea in front of her, as if she were entertaining an old friend who had come to visit. But in the eerie ghost realm, this "normality" was the most abnormal thing of all...
"Ruan Qing'an, it's you..."
“It is clearly Ms. Ji He and your friends who came uninvited, so why do you make it sound like I am the one who barged into your home?”
Ruan Qing'an chuckled and said, "I wonder if our hospitality was adequate? It seems you're the only one who came out; all of Ms. Ji He's friends have disappeared."
It was clear that Ji He and the other two came to kill Ruan Qing'an, but now, after only meeting them, only Ji He is left.
"It really was you, Ruan Qing'an. You've been hiding it for a long time."
Ji He couldn't help but take a half step back, staring intently at Ruan Qing'an. She looked at Ruan Qing'an's pretty face and the cold, indifferent smile on her lips, as if she were in control of everything.
Where is the fearful and timid rabbit from before, looking like a pitiful and innocent victim? It's ridiculous!
Back in Fengxian Village, Ji He felt something was off when she was tricked by Ruan Qing'an because of Uncle Zhang's affair. Now, she is even more certain of her guess—Ruan Qing'an is the ghost!
The ghost hiding in the crowd!
Thinking of this, Ji He couldn't help but laugh out loud, her laughter laced with sarcasm: "The Spying, what a fine 'Spying,' it really has been hiding right beside us all along, observing us!"
The dungeon titled "Peeping" was given to Ji He by Global Thrillers, which she didn't quite understand after entering, but now she realizes that's what it meant.
—Find the ghost lurking in the shadows, secretly watching the player.
Ji He asked in a deep voice, "Ruan Qing'an, is the serial killer you, this vengeful ghost, the one causing all the murders?"
"...A vengeful ghost?"
Across from her, the girl sitting on the sofa chuckled and gestured slightly towards Ji He: "Ms. Ji He, would you like some tea?"
On the coffee table, a small porcelain cup is filled with green tea.
Ji He could even see the tea leaves inside, which looked perfectly normal, but she didn't dare to drink it at all.
A brief silence fell over the room.
Finally, Ruan Qing'an's smile gradually faded, and at this moment, the human part of her seemed to be decreasing—the original owner was indeed human, but since moving into this house and acquiring the method of controlling ghosts, although she was still human, she had become like a ghost.
Moreover, Ruan Qing'an's identity this time was originally that of an NPC in the dungeon, and when his smile disappeared, the eerie pressure became even greater.
"If Ms. Ji He doesn't drink this tea, then she is not a true guest."
"……What do you mean."
Ji He took another half step back, and the next moment, her pupils suddenly contracted. The already gloomy living room became even more terrifying. Thick black mist swirled around them, and the mist continued to surge, vaguely gathering into the shape of a human face.
Its face was contorted in agony, twisted, and filled with cries of pain.
Inside the dark room, red threads stretched out, and the girl, who had almost lost all her humanity, was still sitting on the sofa. However, the place where she was located was where the black mist and yin energy were strongest. Countless black arms stretched out from the black mist, all grabbing her.
The girl's limbs were gripped by countless black arms, and the red threads wrapped around her almost bound her entire body.
She floated lightly in mid-air, as if cursed by this eerie house, or as if she controlled all the supernatural things in the place.
The girl raised her hand, her arm, bound with red threads and black mist, pointing at Ji He. She tilted her head, revealing a strange yet radiant smile. All the vengeful ghosts that had appeared earlier materialized behind her, and there were far more than just those Ji He had seen before…
"This house is a monster."
The girl smiled sweetly: "Be careful, Ms. Ji He."
