Di'ao gasped, a wave of fear washing over him.

Luckily, I knelt down quickly; I probably wouldn't have been much more intact than the scraps of paper on the ground.

At this moment, Qi Xie saw that the wedding stage was already on fire, but no other strange things appeared around him, so he knew that the other strange things must be in the back hall.

The shadow with its vertical eyes spread out beneath its feet, swallowing the scraps of paper tainted with eerie energy, and also taking the blood axe with it.

After stretching his limbs, Qi Xie walked towards the back hall.

The others exchanged glances and followed.

Although the rules forbid entering the back hall, it's clear to everyone that the safest place right now isn't the one defined by the rules, but rather the one designated by Qi Xie.

Being by his side is the safest place.

After passing the burning wedding stage and crossing a courtyard gate, a huge old house came into view, resembling the residence of a wealthy family during the Republic of China era. At this moment, the old wooden doors were tightly closed.

A wooden sign was prominently displayed on the doorknob:

[Private space, no outsiders allowed]

Xuejiao looked at the wooden plaque with a nervous expression:

"It...it said no outsiders allowed..."

Seeing this, Di'ao turned his head and said something he thought was humorous to appease her:

"Hehehe, it seems the homeowner really likes their private space."

Qi Xie walked over and kicked the wooden sign and the door together.

"It's okay, I also really like its private space."

After all, this old house might hold some treasures and strange things.

boom!

The wooden door and its sign were kicked to pieces, and Qi Xie looked inside but couldn't see what was happening inside.

The line of sight only extends about one meter into the entrance hall; the view beyond is completely obscured by darkness.

This is not simply due to a lack of light, but rather the influence of a strange force.

But it's all the same to Qi Xie; if Wei Yi wants to kill someone, he will always find a way to do so.

"Let's go."

Qi Xie was the first to step into the door.

Bai Yiyi followed without hesitation.

The remaining three exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and stepped into the darkness.

Walk a distance.

Suddenly, as if the blindness had faded, the surrounding darkness no longer seemed pure, and Qi Xie found that he could see again.

However, at the same time, Qi Xie seemed to sense something and turned his head to look.

There was no one behind.

"Were you teleported apart?"

Qi Xie's pupils turned crimson, and he activated [Spirit Sight], only to find that the door behind him had already disappeared, and the path he had come from had become an unfamiliar corridor.

At the same time, Qi Xie observed that a thick black mist mixed with blood was leaking out from the cracks in the tightly closed door of a room next door.

It was a strange, restricted aura, carrying the scent of blood and filth.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Xie walked over.

It was a double camphor wood door, painted scarlet by some unknown pigment. Next to it hung a sign written in the same scarlet pigment:

[Shoutang]

It means a room for the elderly or respected elders, usually for parents or grandparents to live in.

"Shoutang? Could this be teleportation to the ghost bride's parents' room?"

"That's really strange. Was there a teleportation mechanism in this back hall before?"

"I don't know, it wasn't mentioned in the strategy guide, because no participant has ever dared to be so reckless as to run into the back room."

"The six restricted-level ghosts in this instance are: the doorman, the child ghost dressed in mourning clothes, the ghost bride and her partner, and the ghost bride's parents."

"Holy crap? Does that mean the lolicon tycoon might have to face two R-rated monsters at once? Can he win?"

"You'll win, won't you?"

Qi Xie stood in front of the door, not in a hurry to go in.

A bloodshot glint appeared in his eyes, and everything before him seemed unreal.

Through the wooden door, he could see two wisps of black mist condensing inside, with a deep red light flickering within them.

"Two R-rated weirdos."

Qi Xie's lips curled up:

"Dealing with two at the same time is a bit troublesome."

The shadow beneath his feet opened its blood-red vertical eyes and, as if coming to life, crawled up Qi Xie's body.

A sharp dagger emerged from the shadows and landed in Qi Xie's empty left hand, while he held the Blood Axe in his right.

A square piece of human skin, about the size of a palm, was stuffed into his pocket by the shadow.

"With so many sealed artifacts, that's enough."

Qi Xie muttered to himself and lifted his leg.

"Bang!"

The mahogany door was kicked open!

The scene inside the door came into view.

The room is quite large, about sixty square meters.

The rooms are all decorated in the style of a noble family from the old days, with carved canopy beds covered with brocade, gilded and lacquered cabinets, sandalwood tables and chairs, simple and elegant, and many ancient paintings hanging on the walls.

The room was chilly, and the decorations were all strangely shaped bone artifacts. Spider webs hung in the corners, and old dust accumulated in the corners. On the round table of golden nanmu wood in the middle, a pale yellow corpse oil candle was burning dimly.

The most eye-catching figures were the two people sitting around the round table.

They were two elderly people, a man and a woman, with gray hair and wearing long gowns from the Republican era.

The man's eye sockets were hollow, with two eerie flames burning within them.

The old woman's eyes were completely blank, which looked eerie and unsettling.

Upon hearing the door open, the two of them turned towards the doorway simultaneously.

The air froze for three seconds.

"Participants?"

The old man with the will-o'-the-wisp spoke, his voice sounding like an old record player:

"It's quite rare to see live participants here today."

He scrutinized Qi Xie closely, the ghostly flames burning in his eye sockets flickering twice in expression of doubt:

"What are those guys outside doing? Didn't they notice someone went into the back room?"

Qi Xie stepped into the room and gently tapped the door with his heel.

Click.

The door was closed.

"Oh? You're not going to run away? You don't think you can face both of us at the same time with just those two sealed artifacts you have, do you?"

The old man with the will-o'-the-wisp was somewhat surprised.

Another old woman with rolled her eyes grinned, her mouth splitting to her ears, revealing no teeth or oral cavity, but rather a bottomless black hole:

"Old man, why waste so much breath on him... If you ask me, he's just in time. All the previous participants were torn apart by our daughter and son-in-law. I haven't tasted human flavor in ages, haha..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xie looked at the old woman who had rolled her eyes and smiled.

The next second, his figure turned into a blur and disappeared from the spot.

The old man's eyes flickered with ghostly light, and he couldn't even see the figure clearly; he only felt a gust of wind pass by.

In an instant, his wife, who was standing next to him, was slashed and sent flying before she could even scream.

"You old codger, you like to eat, huh? Come and try your Grandpa Qi's Thunderous Heavy Axe, isn't it delicious?"

Qi Xie's arrogant, sinister laughter rang in his ears. The old man with the ghost fire turned his head and saw a sharp dagger aimed straight at his face!
