Gu Shengyin calmly spoke: "We came to this place by accident. We really want to leave this castle, do you have any way to let us out?"
As she asked, the others pricked up their ears.
What if, by luck, we encounter a ghost with a good heart who doesnât crave human flesh, and helps us leave?
Then they heard the old womanâs cold voice: "This castle experiences a Realm of Life and Death transition every ten days, which is the only time when the living can enter. Since you had the misfortune to enter, donât think about leaving until the next transition occurs."
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
At the same time, their admiration for Gu Shengyin grew.
It turned out just as she had calculatedâthey would need to stay here for at least ten days before they could leave.
Seeing that the old woman did not seem hostile to them, Zhang Chao summoned the courage to say: "Then, Madam, can we borrow this place for a few days? Weâll leave in nine days..."
The old woman slowly turned her head towards Zhang Chao.
The group was roughly encircled, and Zhang Chao was precisely opposite Gu Shengyin.
Their eyes saw that her body didnât move, but her head seemed to spin entirely, staring straight at Zhang Chao.
The eerie scene sent a chill down Zhang Chaoâs spine.
Too creepy.
Suddenly, the old womanâs voice became shrill: "No! The living are not allowed here, you must leave, leave this place!"
Gu Shengyin said: "Countless Vengeful Ghosts want our lives, we canât just go down and die!"
The old woman suddenly laughed eerily; her hand suddenly sprouted extremely sharp nails.
Coldly staring at the group, the old womanâs eyes shone with a sinister light: "Do you really think staying on the second floor means I wonât take your lives?"
Seeing the old womanâs appearance, furrowed brows emerged in their hearts.
This development is wrong.
If the seemingly mighty old woman on the second floor also kills, how did Qin Chingqing survive?
Gu Shengyin felt a bit chaotic inside.
This sensation of thinking you found hope, only for reality to slap you coldly, does not feel good.
She forced herself to calm down.
Something must be wrong, there should be a way.
Gu Shengyin tried reasoning with the old woman: "We bear no malice and wonât disturb your life. We simply seek a place to stay for a while, why canât you tolerate us?"
But the old woman didnât listen at all.
She simply coldly told them to scram.
Gu Shengyin decided to ignore her.
She spoke to her companions behind her: "Seems my guess was wrong, the second floor doesnât bring us hope."
Her tone carried a hint of apology.
Unexpectedly, this time Qin Chingqing was the first to comfort her: "Whatâs the big deal? At least, compared to the chaotic scene in the hall, this place isnât so hard to look at."
Their laughter couldnât be helped as she finished speaking.
She had indeed spoken aptly.
The entire second floor, aside from the dark corridors, really only had this one ghostly old woman.
