This entry is suspicious.

After a brief period of panic and confusion.

Ming Shu gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.

As a seasoned enthusiast of the supernatural, she has read hundreds of files on bizarre events and has extensive knowledge of supernatural forces.

The three puppet models less than half a meter away from her were undoubtedly three eerie creatures that had attacked her just moments before.

However, the protective magic item did not trigger.

Combined with the eerie, still posture.

Ming Shu quickly came to a conclusion—the bizarre attack was not completed and had been interrupted at some point.

"The Weird follows its own rules of killing. As long as the conditions are not triggered, it won't be a problem even if it's right in front of you, unless it's a terrifying being that kills indiscriminately... Their attack action was not completed, which means that the triggering conditions have not been truly met." Ming Shu thought to himself.

The fact that they stopped attacking is enough to show that these three strange creatures are not the type to kill indiscriminately.

So here's the question: what is the killing mechanism of these three puppet models?

What did I just do that led to the attack... and then I stopped at the last moment?

Ming Shu frowned, her mind racing.

After a moment, she decided to try to take down the three monsters.

He immediately summoned his magic weapon—the Myriad Manifestations Wheel.

Three slender silver rings nested one inside the other, rotating and emitting a soft hum, like a miniature celestial globe slowly turning. At its core was an octahedral crystal, its facets shimmering with different colors: fiery red, ice blue, emerald green, gilded gold, and earthy brown...

The magical artifact floated in Ming Shu's hand. With a thought, the octahedron turned to the fiery red side, and the three slender silver rings quickly interlocked to form a perfect circle.

At the center of the ring, a dazzling red light shone on the octahedron, and the temperature soared instantly.

The next second, a scorching ray shot out straight out, tearing through the air and sweeping towards the three wooden puppet models with the power to incinerate everything. The air could be clearly seen distorting in the heat wave.

The scorching rays of sunlight sliced ​​through the puppet's body, cleaving it in two without any surprise, and also cutting off the desks and chairs behind it, leaving a dark scorch mark on the room's wall.

Ming Shu manipulated the scorching rays to sweep back and forth several times, cutting the puppet model into dozens of pieces.

She held her breath and stared intently at the scattered fragments, ready to activate the magic weapon again at any moment.

The scattered pieces of wood lay silently on the ground, their cut surfaces charred and reddish-brown, showing no reaction whatsoever, as if they were truly just a pile of burnt wood.

"Resolved?"

Ming Shu dared not be careless and nimbly retreated backward.

Just as she retreated to the middle of the corridor, something terrifying happened.

The charred wood pieces that were scattered all over the classroom floor a second ago have disappeared the next second.

Instead, there are dozens of brand new puppet models!

They seemed to appear out of thin air, filling the field of vision in the blink of an eye, densely packed.

Some of the puppet models blocked the classroom door, while others rushed out of the classroom and surged into the corridor.

Two more puppet models had somehow appeared in front of Ming Shu, and four large hands, in pairs, grabbed her neck and shoulders respectively.

Before Ming Shu could react, the protective magic treasure on her body had already activated on its own. A layer of golden membrane covered her entire body. Although it looked as thin as a cicada's wing, it exuded a calm and heavy texture.

At this moment, the protective golden membrane emitted a piercing clang, as if it were being squeezed, twisted, and torn by tremendous forces.

But the bizarre attack lasted only a moment before abruptly stopping. The puppets remained frozen in place, as if the conditions for killing them had not been met.

Ming Shu was utterly horrified. Her eyes widened, and beads of cold sweat rolled down her forehead. She knew that without the protection of a magical artifact, she would most likely have been torn to pieces by now.

"We mustn't destroy the eerie creatures, or their numbers will increase!"

This is undoubtedly bad news. Not being able to destroy the supernatural means she must find the supernatural killing mechanism and then find a way to counter it.

Fortunately, through her experience, she determined the murder rules of these puppet models.

It's about line of sight!

If I blink and make these puppet models disappear from my sight, they will immediately pounce on me. But if I look at them, they will be frozen in place and unable to move.

It looks a lot like the "Red Light, Green Light" game we played as kids.

Ming Shu reached out and pried open the wooden puppet hands that were resting on his neck and shoulders. When being watched, these strange figures were just real wooden figures, without any strange power.

She quickly stepped back to create distance while keeping her eyes on the ground.

Humans need to blink to keep their eyes moist, but as a cultivator who has opened her eyes, she can maintain a state of not blinking for a considerable period of time.

However, this does not help much in the current situation.

She couldn't stay stuck here with the eerie sights forever; she had to find a way to leave the haunted house and send out a distress signal. This meant she would have to enter another room, and in that instant, she would lose sight of these strange things.

At that time, they will immediately give chase.

Ming Shu's mind raced. The corridor was blocked by puppet models, so he could not go any further and had to turn back to explore the rooms he had not had time to enter along the way.

She retreated step by step, keeping her eyes fixed on the puppet, until she touched the wall and had to turn, then she turned her gaze away and ran away at full speed.

Immediately behind her came a series of stiff footsteps chasing after her. Ming Shu recognized them; they were the strange ones who had been watching her from the beginning!

"This strange thing was initially behind me, but I encountered it in front of me, which means there's a way around it nearby, and there were other living people along the way, so the strange thing was attracted to them. But now those people are definitely dead..."

Ming Shu's mind raced as he darted around the dungeon room, searching for a possible way out.

With a loud crash, she violently smashed down the door of a room, and the scene inside made her eyes widen in shock.

Several brutally torn corpses lay on the ground, a gruesome sight, while a blood-soaked puppet mannequin stood in the room!

Damn it, there's another one here!

Ming Shu's heart tightened. Almost at the same moment, footsteps in the corridor behind her suddenly approached. Without thinking, she gritted her teeth and turned around to look back.

As his gaze swept across the corridor, the group of puppets chasing behind him froze in place, remaining motionless in their running posture.

Ming Shu was prepared to be attacked by the puppets in the room, but the expected attack did not come.

"What's going on? The puppet in the room didn't attack me?"

She was taken aback, but then she mustered her courage and moved step by step into the room, keeping her eyes fixed on the doorway. She continued to back away until she could see the doorway and the entire room before she stopped.

"It's that corpse on the ground..."

Ming Shu keenly noticed that although one of the corpses on the ground was torn to pieces, its head was still intact, and its eyes were wide open in death. The puppet in the room was right in his line of sight.

"Is the gaze of a dead person acceptable?"

Ming Shu's heart skipped a beat. Could she use the eyes of this corpse to lock onto all the puppets?

However, before she could even be happy for two seconds, snap! The lights in the room suddenly went out, as if sensing the arrival of a new person, triggering the mechanisms set up in this haunted house instance.

The entire room instantly plunged into deep darkness, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face. In the pitch black, the protective golden membrane on Ming Shu's body emitted a series of clanging sounds that made one's teeth ache.

She hurriedly activated her magical artifact to illuminate the darkness.

The moment the light illuminated the room, Ming Shu felt a chill run through his body.

The room was packed with puppets, completely blocking every inch of space.

The mangled corpse was less than five meters away from her, but the puppets along the way were layered and intertwined, leaving no gap for her to pass through.

Ming Shu's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
