    Hearing this sentence, Guo Guo's heartbeat stopped for a moment.

    However, after she subconsciously held her breath, the expected fierce fighting did not appear.

    Not knowing how far away, Tang Xinjue looked at the tall figure. The former still maintains a state of holding back, because she quickly discovered that there is no focal length in the opponent's chaotic eyes.

    It doesn't seem to see itself.

    Logically speaking, this probability is very low - even if the other party cannot see, the ghost will never miss the human breath.

    Correspondingly, she also rarely felt the breath of this ghost.

    So there's a good chance...there's something blocking them.

    Tang Xinjue and Zheng Wanqing, who came down later, looked at each other, and the two climbed back to the top of the shaft to observe the ghost's movements.

    Even if their figures disappeared from the "front", the ghost stared straight at the head in front without any response, but after a few seconds, its neck suddenly "clicked" and began to slowly twist.

    I saw that after twisting it 180 degrees, the other side of the head was a face again!

    If it wasn't for the dim yellow eyes that finally started rolling, it would almost make people think that the twisting of the neck just now was an illusion. Because the front and back faces on the stiff neck are almost the same, even the dense wrinkles are exactly the same.

    As Guo Guo described, this is a, no, two faces of an old man who has aged to the extreme. Such a head grows on a sturdy body two meters high, rather like a defective product that has been randomly spliced ​​out.

    The next moment, the eyes of the two fell on its arm at the same time.

    Even more bizarre than the head, is this man's broad shoulders, with two slender and short white arms. The skin at the joint of the shoulders shrank inward, and the two obviously mismatched bones were embedded together, making a cautious rubbing sound at the slightest movement.

    In Guo Guo's memory before losing his arms, this ghost had no hands.

    ——Then it is self-evident who the female arm on it came from at this moment.

    Across a curtain of transparent doors, the goblin's eyes simply roamed around, but he still didn't notice anyone outside. The rattling arm quickly diverted its attention. It tapped angrily several times, and a series of muffled curses spewed out of its mouth.

    On the other side, Guo Guo seemed to sense something and asked worriedly:

    "Xinjue Wanqing, have you managed to avoid it, has my arm been eaten by them?"

    "..."

    For a while, Tang Xinjue and the others couldn't be sure, which was easier for Guo Guo to accept, between his arm like this and being eaten.

    But before they had time to organize the language, the ghost suddenly roared and strode away from the door.

    Its figure disappeared at the end of a yellow corridor, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in Tang Xinjue's heart.

    Immediately afterwards, Guo Guo's consciousness in the spiritual link suddenly disconnected again.

    The two no longer hesitated and jumped straight to the glass door. When Tang Xinjue's spiritual power came into contact with it, it felt like a drop of water merging into the sea, and it sank without a trace in an instant.

    "There is indeed a shielding effect here, but I don't know the specific scope."

    Thinking of the abnormal state of the ghost and Guo Guo, Tang Xinjue frowned slightly: "We may have to prepare for losing all our abilities."

    If she guessed correctly...

    The glass door was quietly opened, and the two of them entered without any resistance, but the sudden change in perception caused them to move at the same time——

    "I can't feel anything."

    Zheng Wanqing raised her hand subconsciously, but the place that should have been glowing with metallic luster was empty.

    She can no longer summon her own powers, not even steel arms!

    At the same time, there was only air left in Tang Xinjue's right hand, and the toilet was nowhere to be found.

    There were faint footsteps in the distance, Tang Xinjue took a deep breath, pulled Wan Qing to dodge and hid in the nearest door.

    The room was small, and there were various human body casts piled up in a mess, and there was barely enough space for the two of them to stand. They listened to the footsteps from far to near and then gradually left before continuing to talk.

    "My ability is gone." Tang Xinjue's voice was very soft and deep. "It's all abilities."

    Toilet flushing, mental power, enhanced five-dimensional physique, space bag and props on the body...

    What does it feel like to lose everything in an instant?

    Even if guesses and psychological preparations have been made, at the moment when it really happened suddenly, a strong sense of weightlessness still gripped his heart tightly.

    After going through one dungeon after another, and upgrading and strengthening one after another, they have already adapted to the current "superhuman" body, adapted to the keen five senses and the ability to control the environment, and have the courage to fight against danger with confidence— —

    Instead of the body of that ordinary college student.

    But the moment they stepped into the door, all the additional power evaporated out of thin air, leaving only a weak body.

    This kind of feeling is like trying hard to train the tuba to level 70. As a result, the system is suddenly initialized with one key, and it instantly returns to the whiteboard trumpet with nothing. Who can stand it?

    "It's going to go back to its origin, why didn't it return my arm?"

    Zheng Wanqing was very speechless. The ability to co-author this house is to take only the good ones and not the bad ones?

    In this house full of ghosts and gloomy atmosphere, the physical pressure alone makes people have to grit their teeth. The two can only adjust their state first, and then wait for an opportunity to act.

    Tang Xinjue was still optimistic: "The constraints in this space should be two-way. We are deprived of our ability, and the ghosts will definitely be suppressed, so there is no chance of winning."

    In fact, after the initial gap, she quickly adapted to her current state. Even for her, this feeling of stagnation and powerlessness like being immersed in cold water is actually the "normal".

    After all, in the nightmare, there are no upgrades and abilities at all.

    After a while, Zheng Wanqing nodded after adjusting, the two of them pulled the door open a crack, and there was no sound outside. But before they could go out, Tang Xinjue's phone screen lit up:

    It was Guo Guo's phone number.

    After closing the door, Guo Guo deliberately lowered her voice over the phone:

    "The ghost came again just now, do you know what it did, it turned out to be..."

    Guo Guo couldn't hide his anger: "It actually threw its arm back! It dislikes my arm!!"

    She was so speechless that her arm was taken away, but the other party still disliked her? Could it be that the old man's head on his neck, which seemed to die at any moment, was healthier and more beautiful than her arms?

    Tang Xinjue: "...you know what it is used for."

    "Yes, because it only paid me back an arm."

    Probably because it was really inconvenient to not have one arm, the ghost finally kept one for himself. And its disgusting and helpless expression at that time is still playing repeatedly in Guo Guo's mind.

    But thanks to the arm that was returned, she could still use her mobile phone to talk to Tang Xinjue and the others when she lost her mental connection.

    "I seem to be able to think of more now, there's more than one ghost here. They're all weird looking, each with different abilities. Some conjure terrifying visions, some torture people, and some can be disassembled. Human bodies... By the way, they don't seem to like to move yet, and many are huddled in small rooms. When they get close, the cell phone signal will disappear..."

    Before he finished speaking, the call was interrupted again. On the screen, the mobile phone signal display returns to zero.

    Tang Xinjue and Zheng Wanqing quickly looked up at each other.

    According to the prompt, this meant that either the ghost went to Guo Guo again, or a ghost approached them.

    There was no sound outside the door, but there was a cat's eye on the door.

    Zheng Wanqing opened her mouth: "Do you want to see it?"

    Tang Xinjue shook his head, silently put the phone camera on the cat's eye, and turned on the camera.

    A normal phone can't be focused in this situation, but the game-modified phone is clearly different:

    In the picture displayed by the camera, a yellow eyeball that has been magnified several times is slowly turning towards the door.

    There was silence inside and outside the room.

    Since both of them were close to the door, they couldn't catch it from the perspective of their eyes, so after a while, it slowly moved away from the cat's eye, and then there was movement outside.

    It's just this voice... Tang Xinjue pointed to the top of his head.

    Not like the sound of footsteps, but rather like the rubbing sound of the body dragging and crawling on the wall.

    It was not until the movement disappeared completely that they contacted Guo Guo again: "Do you remember your specific location?"

    Judging from Guo Guo's few words and the fact that they had already encountered two ghosts within two minutes of coming in, the concentration of ghosts in this building was very high. They must minimize detours and take people away safely as quickly as possible.

    Fortunately, Guo Guo was brought down the same path as them. She described a route repeatedly from her memory, and Tang Xinjue immediately sketched the end point in her mind.

    "We're not far," she concluded. "You're just around the corner at the end of this corridor."

    After the corner, there should be two upward stairs.

    Guo Guo immediately reminded: "You have to be careful. I remember the one that creates illusions. It seems to have entered the door opposite me!"

    If Tang Xinjue opened the wrong door at that time, it would mean that the two of them would face the ghost, which was Guo Guo's worst fear.

    "Because..." Guo Guo paused, she seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't speak decisively, so she could only hurriedly instruct: "If you guys come over, give me a flash and I'll knock on the door lightly. The floor. You approach the door where you heard the knock, and that's the room I'm in."

    Tang Xinjue heard her hesitating to speak, and guessed: "Is there something we don't know about the illusion that affects you?"

    Guo Guo was startled: "You know?"

    Faced with this answer, Tang Xinjue immediately caught the point: "It's about me, isn't it?"

    Guo Guo: "..."

    Tang Xinjue continued to ask calmly: "It's also related to your abnormal reaction when you look at those caves, right?"

    Guo Guo: "..."

    Zheng Wanqing was perplexed: "What are you talking about? What cave?"

    "Those caves we encountered during our search for a casino."

    At that time, each of the four of them judged one, and only Guo Guo was hesitant and panicked when observing his own cave, and the reasons given were hesitant. At that time, she didn't want to say it, and Tang Xinjue just wrote it down and didn't get to the bottom of it.

    But now judging from Guo Guo's reaction, the two are indeed related.

    Otherwise, with Guo Guo's prudence and the ability of the sky's eyes, no matter how realistic the illusion appeared in front of him, with only the content of the three people fighting, it would not frighten her to cry, let alone rush into it recklessly.

    Tang Xinjue's voice was not in a hurry, but she was calm and determined: "Guoguo, if you are worried that it will affect me by telling me, then I hope you can believe me."

    Guo Guo sighed: "I will always trust you."

    She has 100% trust in her roommate, but not in herself, so she worries that it will backfire.

    "Then trust me a little more, this time. Okay?"

    Here, every piece of information is particularly important. Even if it is a double-edged sword, she must master it.

    Guo Guo was silent for a few seconds, then took a deep breath: "Okay, Xinjue, I'll tell you...but Wanqing can't listen."

    Zheng Wanqing, who just pricked up her ears: "???"

    Five seconds later, Zheng Wanqing went out the door alone, with only Tang Xinjue left in the room.

    "It's just me now, tell me."

    In the still air, Guo Guo said:

    "...I see that you will take action against us."

    Guo Guo's voice was harsh: "But perception tells me that it's not an illusion, it's a secret."

    "That's a death prophecy."
