What a lucid dream!

"Husband? Are you listening?" the woman asked again.

"..."

The dark-skinned man looked at the other person's beautiful face and subconsciously swallowed—not out of lust, but out of fear.

At that moment, he had no lustful thoughts whatsoever!

He just wanted to run!

"I... I was a little distracted just now," the dark-skinned man quickly replied.

"Really? Then let me ask again." The woman asked, "Why didn't you come to see me last night, my husband? I've been waiting for you for so long, I'm so impatient."

“I…” the dark-skinned man said quickly, “I was a little tired last night and went to bed early.”

“Let’s continue tonight,” the woman licked her lips. “Tonight, my husband must satisfy me properly, or I… will get angry.”

"..."

The dark-skinned man felt a chill run down his spine.

He has no power now, he is just an ordinary person, and he has no power to resist ghosts and monsters.

What happens if you die in this story world?

The dark-skinned man dared not gamble.

He quickly flipped through the stories he had heard as a child and gradually recalled the sequel to "Painted Skin"—after discovering that the woman was a ghost, the scholar who had taken her in went to a Taoist priest for help. The priest gave him a Buddhist whisk for protection and told him to hang it on the door of his bedroom. However, the scholar still died and was disemboweled and had his heart ripped out.

Afterwards, the scholar's wife asked a Taoist priest to help exorcise the ghost. The priest used a peach wood sword to slay the ferocious ghost, causing its soul to be scattered.

Yes! That Taoist priest can exorcise ghosts!

He must go find that Taoist priest!

If he doesn't actively seek help, he's sure to die tonight!

"Speaking of which, a murder occurred in town today. Have you heard about it, sir?" the woman suddenly asked.

"...A murder case?" The dark-skinned man had no choice but to ask, "What murder case?"

"I heard it was a Taoist priest who had been traveling from afar. He was attacked by bandits in the mountains nearby. They cut open his stomach, ripped out his heart, and even gnawed most of the flesh off his body. How horrible!"

The woman said with some fear, "The bandits here actually eat people... It's terrifying."

"..."

The dark-skinned man was so frightened that he almost instinctively stood up.

The Taoist priest... is dead?

How could bandits eat people?

The dark-skinned man subconsciously looked at the woman in front of him... Was it her who ate it?

She probably doesn't know what happened last night, right?

Oops……

……

The tattooed man never imagined that he would one day experience such a rapid process of regret.

If given another chance, he would never be so confident and arrogant, and he would never listen to the dark-skinned man's stupid advice... He would definitely buy the gold service immediately.

Thump, thump, thump... A series of knocking sounds came from outside the door.

The tattooed man hiding on the roof beam immediately held his breath, trying his best to minimize his presence and aura.

In this horror story world, he is a scumbag who cheated on a girl. The girl, filled with resentment, jumped off a building and died. He was terrified, so he sought help from a Taoist priest. The priest predicted that the girl had become a vengeful ghost and would return to kill him on the seventh night after her death. The solution was to hide under the bed with the clothes the girl wore in life, so the ghost wouldn't be able to see him.

Tonight marks the seventh day after the girl's death!

As for why he hid on the roof beam... this story is exactly the same as the "upside down" ghost story he was most afraid of when he was a child, and it is obviously a manifestation of this story.

The story continues as follows: the man who was instructed by the Taoist priest did exactly as the priest said, but he still died tragically on the seventh night after his death.

Because the Taoist priest miscalculated something—that the girl who jumped from the building died headfirst—she would return headfirst, and hiding under the bed would allow her to be seen.

I'm hiding on the roof beam today!

Let's see how you find me!

The tattooed man forced himself to calm down.

At that moment, with a loud crash, the door was smashed open.

The female ghost came in.

Thump, thump... The sound of a head hitting the ground rang out.

"Can't find it."

Boom, boom...

"Can't find it."

Boom, boom...

"I can't find it! I can't find it! Why can't I find it! Why!!"

A chilling scream spread out, stirring up gusts of cold wind in the room, sending shivers down the spine of the tattooed man.

Luckily, I was quick-witted... The tattooed man felt scared and nervous, but also relieved.

Thankfully, he didn't hide under the bed.

At this moment, a change occurred.

The frenzied ghost began slamming its head against the ground repeatedly.

The thumping sound quickly turned into a rumbling sound.

The floor began to shake from being smashed, and cracked inch by inch.

Soon after, the entire house began to shake.

The next second, with a loud bang, the house... collapsed.

The tattooed man fell directly into the ruins, where bricks and tiles rained down on him, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Hey, I found it."

A venomous voice suddenly rang in my ears.

The tattooed man couldn't help but scream and immediately scrambled out of the rubble, running frantically forward.

Damn it! This female ghost doesn't play by the rules!

As he ran, he shouted, "One hundred thousand! I'm willing to give one hundred thousand!"

"Who can get me out of here?! I'll give you 100,000 right now!"

"Help! Someone help me!"

The tattooed man didn't know if this would work, but in this critical situation, he had no choice but to try anything.

Otherwise... how could a human possibly outrun a ghost?

If this continues, he will surely die!

Just then, a voice, like a lifeline, suddenly rang in his ears: "She's chasing your spiritual aura; you can't escape."

"There's a house up ahead, see it? You rush in first to avoid her line of sight, climb to a higher place, and wait for her to follow you in. Then, take the opportunity to jump on her, grab her feet, and firmly attach yourself to her lower body so she can't see you."

"She can only see at eye level, and her gaze won't look down. As long as you don't get shaken off, you'll be safe."

Holy crap... The tattooed man subconsciously looked to his left and found that a figure had appeared beside him at some point, running alongside him.

It's the staff member who sold tickets during the day!

"You... how did you get in here too!?"

"Don't worry about anything else. If you're still half-hearted at a time like this, you're definitely going to die." Fan Xiao laughed. "Do as I say, and you'll live. Oh, and after you survive, remember to settle your bill at the ticket office. If you dare to renege on your debt... hehe."

"...But you already said it, and she heard it, didn't she?" the tattooed man said, conflicted.

"Don't worry, she can only see, she can't hear."

After replying, Fan Xiao stopped running and stood in front of the "female ghost below".

Upon seeing this, the female ghost immediately took a detour, trying to bypass him.

Fan Xiao persisted, moving to a different position to block the female ghost's advance.

As long as he doesn't attack first, the monsters in the "Haunted House" dream won't attack him—they'll just block his way, which won't be counted as an attack.

Further ahead, the tattooed man glanced back and realized that the other person was buying him time.

Without further hesitation, he ran forward like a madman and crashed headfirst into a house in front of him.

……

The “Holy War” project.

On the wide surface of the Weijinchuan River, a massive battle is raging.

A large amount of silver light could be seen weaving across the river surface. At a certain moment, this silver light suddenly erupted collectively, forming a huge slash.

The bright light flashed and disappeared in an instant, its aftershocks illuminating the wide Weijinchuan River.

The river has been cut off.

A huge gap appeared, stretching all the way to the bottom of the river.

Everything around them that was illuminated by the silver light crumbled into a pile of fragments.

Large sections of the riverbank collapsed along the way, creating a scene resembling a sudden, earth-shattering collapse.

The sight of this sword cleaving a river was so spectacular that Marcus, Luther, and Aoandon, who were hiding in the distance, turned pale with fright.

The person who made the move was Cangyin Yuxuezhao, one of the participants in the "Holy Spirit War".

The three of them couldn't help but look at the ethereal and stunningly beautiful woman floating in the air.

The other person was standing on a sword.

His Holy Spirit is fighting against the Holy Spirit of Crimson Gu Hange.

The Holy Spirits of both of them were so powerful that they were driven to despair!

Beneath the cleaved river surface, a pitch-black spherical domain appeared.

The black domain withstood the approaching silver light, creating a counterforce that neutralized each other.

The heat from the riverbed flowed towards Gu Hange, and the surrounding temperature dropped lower and lower. The river water that had been forcibly cut open began to freeze, and the ice layer quickly spread outwards... Suddenly, a high-temperature reaction broke out in the low-temperature environment.

A massive red torrent emerged from the riverbed and surged forth, sublimating and evaporating the nearby ice and water in one go.

The crimson torrent swept towards the jade-like snow in the sky, threatening to engulf everything.

At that moment, a girl with silver hair appeared in front of Yu Xuezhao as if she had teleported.

The girl used her hand as a knife and slashed forward, tearing open a huge spatial rift.

The surging red torrent was completely swallowed by the crack.

The girl then placed her hand on Yu Xuezhao's shoulder, and the silver light tore through space, transporting the two to another location, completely away from Gu Hange.

"Since you're so afraid to get close to them, why don't you just tuck your tail between your legs and run away, and withdraw from the Holy Spirit War?"

Under the river, Gu Hange stepped on the red heat current and rose in height, soon appearing on the surface of the river.

She looked at Yu Xuezhao with a beaming smile.

Yu Xuezhao did not reply.

It seems they disdain to pay attention to such nonsense.

Gu Hange was surrounded by a domain that could disable abnormal forces. The closer one got, the higher the concentration of the domain and the more deeply one was affected.

She naturally wouldn't approach easily.

Fortunately, her Holy Spirit is a ranged attacker, meaning she can attack without getting close.

It could be said that neither she nor Gu Hange could do anything to each other.
