Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"It's...it's a joint burial!!!"

An Lan looked at the scene of the anomaly and immediately spotted the deep pit in the center.

But he hadn't finished speaking yet...

Mo Han interrupted him, saying, "Perhaps, once the coffin is completely sealed, the beings within the tombstones behind us will finally crawl out!"

"Huh? You..."

Exactly the same words!

Recalling everything that had happened, An Lan looked at Mo Han and quickly wrote a new sentence on her arm: [Mo Han's ability: suspected to be able to hear voices from the future.]

"What are you standing there for!"

"Go!"

"Stop them!"

Mo Han gave a shout and took the lead, followed by Tie Shan, Liu Xuan, and An Lan. Just as they were about to rush over and tackle the two tombstone men wielding shovels...

"Click click click—"

Unexpected!

The tombstone behind them grew heavier and heavier, and the twisted human figure expanded rapidly, with only the lower legs yet to appear. The bluish-black tombstone figure clung tightly to the shoulders of the three men, restraining their actions.

An Lan's face darkened!

"wrong!"

"The more you try to stop them, the faster the tombstones will be restored!"

"ah?!"

"What do we do now?!"

"If we don't stop the tombstones, they'll come back to life! Stopping the tombstones will accelerate their resurrection! There's... there's absolutely no way out! There's absolutely no way out!!!"

Once again, when Mo Han said those words, his face inexplicably twitched!

and many more!

He felt like he had said that phrase many times before!

"perhaps..."

"Perhaps the way out isn't about stopping the joint burial... but about finding a way to escape the resurrection of the tombstone during the time of the joint burial..."

An Lan's thoughts raced, and her gaze suddenly fell upon the red coffin.

Mo Han, on the other hand, looked towards the small house on the right.

"Walk!"

"Everyone, go to the small house on the right! Nobody's seen it yet!"

"Tap tap tap—"

"Tap tap tap—"

Immediately, two sets of footsteps sounded; one person ran towards the coffin, and three ran towards the small hut on the right. When Mo Han saw that An Lan hadn't followed, he was furious: "An Lan! An Lan, how dare you disobey orders?!"

"you!!!"

An annoyed voice came from behind.

Mo Han was still hoping that An Lan's "special circumstances" would allow him to follow behind him and clear the level.

"No matter what... raising favorability is definitely the right thing to do!"

An Lan disregarded everything and was about to jump into the deep pit.

suddenly!

He thought of the line, "The swallows return as if we've met before!"

"etc!"

"Wait, wait, wait!"

"If I've already gone through this cycle once, does that mean that's what I was thinking last time! So I increased the favorability rating, but didn't avoid the cycle?"

"So, if we make the same choice again this time, will the cycle repeat itself?!"

"Perhaps... I should go against my own ideas?!"

After a moment's hesitation, An Lan turned and ran towards Mo Han and the others!

"Hey--"

"You've got some sense, haven't you? You know it's better to be together in groups, right?"

Seeing An Lan turn and run towards him, Mo Han breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right!

That's more like it!

If they didn't choose this path, why would An Lan survive to the end?

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Liu Xuan, Mo Han, do you know what's inside the room? Have you used your [Talent Ability] to check?!"

"Kid! You think you're the boss and I'm the boss? I—"

Mo Han muttered something in dissatisfaction, just about to reprimand An Lan...

"Click click click—"

From the stone tablets behind the three, the stone tablet figures crawled out completely. The "tombstones" crashed to the ground, and the stone tablet figures grabbed the three men by the neck: "Die—you all have to die here!!!"

"Uh...uh..."

The three frantically pulled at the stone hand around their necks. Liu Xuan tried to help, but the eerie paper scraps all over her body intensified, and the skin around her waist peeled off, revealing her bare bones!

"It's...too late!"

"Hurry! Use your abilities now!!!"

An Lan urged again.

He wasn't sure if Mo Han and the others had been here in the last cycle, or if they had survived. To ensure there wasn't a kill at the door, he had to test it out.

"I...I saw it..."

"I saw a picture of a girl being imprisoned..."

"It's...it's the girl from during the day..."

"Is this room used to imprison people?"

Liu Xuan clutched her head and involuntarily took two steps towards the door. Unaware that she was in a time-accelerated loop, she guessed this was where the little girl was being held...

"I...I'm fucking idiot—"

"Why do I hear the future saying 'there's no way out' again?"

Didn't I just say that?

Mo Han complained, unable to understand why this sentence would still appear.

"Giggle giggle—"

The feet of the three tombstone figures began to touch the ground, appearing behind the three people like superimposed shadows. After their lips parted, this time they surprisingly extended long, bluish-purple tongues and began to lick the backs of the three people.

"Slippery, slippery!"

Just from licking it, the soles of An Lan and the other two's feet instantly turned to stone, transforming into the base of a tombstone that was stuck into the ground!

"Damn it!"

"Now they've become people! We're going to become tombstones!"

"It's too late!"

"Bang!"

No longer concerned with the details, An Lan pushed open the wooden door of the small house, and a warm ray of light immediately shone on the four of them.

A swaying origami crane, a bright red "囍" (double happiness) quilt, and fruit pits on the eight-immortal table...

The festive and peaceful scene inside the house contrasted sharply with the chaos in the courtyard!

"this..."

After hesitating for a moment, An Lan went inside.

"Knock knock knock—"

Strangely, upon entering the room, the petrification on his thighs began to freeze. Even the "tombstone man" who had been standing behind him was stuck outside the door, staring blankly into the room, too afraid to come in!

"Test! A safe house? Isn't this it?"

Mo Han was overjoyed and hurriedly ran in after him.

"I knew it... I knew the future wouldn't lie to me!"

After the four entered the house one by one, they began to inspect the interior.

With a creak, the wooden door closed again!

Inside the courtyard, after the coffin was sealed, the jubilation on everyone's faces vanished, replaced by a look of terror, and they stood there dumbfounded!

immediately!

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of countless stone tablets falling echoed, and large numbers of tombstones began to appear throughout the village...

Time... has started to speed up!

"Tick-tock—"

"Tick-tock—"

Meanwhile, inside the small house, cracks began to appear on the surrounding walls. After bursting open like a spiderweb, the cracks, resembling reddish wounds, continuously oozed blood, staining the entire house walls crimson...

"Tick-tock—"

Thick blood dripped onto An Lan's face, and he looked around in astonishment.

"It's not safe here either!"

"Hey! Check inside the house for any clues!"

"Do you need to tell me?!"

Mo Han hurriedly lifted the blankets on the bed, revealing twisted scratches and fingernails underneath. Tie Shan walked to the octagonal table, lifted it again, and the fruit pit instantly transformed into crawling fingers.

"ah!!!"

Liu Xuan tried to untie the hanging origami crane, but the origami crane suddenly exploded, and blood splattered on her face, turning into twisted black blood vessels that began to corrode her entire body!

"wrong!"

"wrong!"

"Is there no way out here? Did I make the wrong choice?!"

An Lan scanned the room, her gaze suddenly landing on a rattle drum placed by the window.

"Um?"

"That...that is..."

"Ugh...ugh...it hurts...it hurts so much...ugh—"

"Puff puff puff—"

Xiaohan's babbling echoed from above, and the ceiling had begun to collapse. Twisted and curled inward like paper, it descended upon the four of them...

"Dad...Mom...I want to go home...home..."

"Pat-pat-pat-"

Amidst a mixture of sounds resembling cracking bones and tearing skin, painful groans continued.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Blood quickly gushed out from the ground, reaching up to the knees of the people!

Just as the folded wall was about to completely cover everything, Mo Han jumped off the bed: "Damn it! The future has deceived me! This is still a doomed situation! Tieshan! Tieshan, smash the door!!!"

"Get out! Get out!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Han and Tie Shan waded towards the wooden door.

Can!

To Mo Han's surprise, the moment he jumped off the bed, An Lan actually went in the opposite direction and stepped onto the bed!

Holy crap!

"What are you doing? Are you in such a hurry to die?"

"Tap tap tap—"

Ignoring Mo Han's words, An Lan stepped on the underside of the bed, where her toenails were turned outwards, and continued towards the window.

"Ugh—ugh—it hurts...it hurts...Daddy...Mommy..."

"Dad...Mom..."

"I...I want to go home...home..."

Amidst the mournful cries, the ceiling suddenly boomed, and a twisted, blood-spurting wall covered the faces of the four people! The surrounding blood swirled, creating a blood-red world before their eyes.

"Gurgle—"

An Lan sank into the blood, her eyes still fixed on the window. Fortunately, there was a window in the distorted window, and the rattle drum began to fall into the blood because of the distortion.

"Daddy...Mommy!!!"

The cries grew louder and louder, and the entire room seemed to shrink!

"Thump!!!"

Suddenly!

A pair of hands emerged from the blood, and An Lan grabbed the rattle drum, shaking it to produce the first sound!

"Buzz—"

"Buzz—"

"Buzz—"

After the first rattle was struck, the space of the small house began to flicker eerily, and the outline of a city living room vaguely appeared.

"Ugh—ugh—"

The sobs gradually subsided.

An Lan's face was covered in blood as she looked around with a complicated expression: "Xiao Han... be good... be good... soon! You'll be able to go home!"

"Didn't Mom and Dad tell you that?"

"Shake the rattle drum, and they will come to pick you up..."

"Thump—"

"Thump—"

"Thump—"

"Dad...Mom..."

As the crisp drumbeats reverberated, Xiao Han's voice faded but didn't diminish, and the blood inside the room began to evaporate in a hazy mist. Amidst the rising crimson fog, the originally twisted little house vanished, and An Lan and her three companions... found themselves in a city living room!
