Wu Tong felt a flicker of hope and quickly put down the knife. Just as she reached to open the door, she froze.

No, something was wrong!

Wasn't Ma Xi still unconscious?

The doctor said she was scared and no one knew when she'd wake up. So whatever's outside definitely wasn't Ma Xi.

It was just pretending to be Ma Xi, trying to trick her into opening the door!

Besides, Shen Huo said before leaving that no matter what happened outside, the door must stay closed.

The door was a safety barrier—only by staying inside were they safe.

Terrified, Wu Tong pulled back her hand and curled up in the corner.

The knocking changed into pounding on the door.

A scream pierced the air, sharp enough to burst eardrums.

So horrible, Wu Tong covered her ears tightly.

After the noise died down, she gasped for breath, wiped cold sweat from her face, and leaned against the wall, trying to calm her pounding heart.

The things outside were truly terrifying.

If it were someone a little older, they might have already died of fright.

Knock knock knock!

"Shen Huo, it's me! Please open the door, I'm so scared alone, can you keep me company?"

The voice outside sounded exactly like hers.

Wu Tong snorted coldly. If she weren't right here hearing that familiar voice, she'd think she had a twin sister.

The "Wu Tong" outside said a few more words, and when no one answered, the knocking turned into banging.

Wu Tong's mood was a roller coaster of highs and lows.

Now, at least, she could breathe easier.

Shen Huo guessed right—the door was their stopping point.

Those things could only enter if invited by the room's owner.

Ding dong!

A sudden sound startled Wu Tong.

It was her phone's message alert.

The number was unfamiliar.

[Can you open the door? There are so many monsters at Shen Huo's door. I'm hiding in the hallway, too scared to come out!
—Wang Peng]

The director?

No way!

Wu Tong agonized over whether to help.

While she hesitated, Director Wang sent a few more messages.

[They're here!]
[I'm at your door, hurry and open it!]
[Open the door, save me!]

Just as Wu Tong debated, the screams outside stopped.

Then another message popped up on her phone.

[Wu Tong, don't open the door. The thing outside isn't human!]

"Shen Huo, watch out!"

As Yang Yiyi just finished saying this, a white light flashed, making Shen Huo unable to open his eyes. At that moment, he heard the sharp sound of a weapon slicing through the air heading straight for his face!

Shen Huo quickly bent down, straightened his back, and the sharp blade brushed past his cheek.

He rolled on the ground twice, just narrowly escaping danger, and finally saw clearly who was attacking him!

"He San!"

The tour guide He San stood opposite Shen Huo, holding two butcher knives, smiling in a creepy way.

"Young man, this isn't a place for you."

The dim light shone on the red cloth reflecting on his straw raincoat, making it look stained with fresh blood. Holding two butcher knives, the tour guide looked like a demon straight out of hell, sending chills down the spine.

Shen Huo stood up, dusted himself off, and smiled back, "So it's the tour guide. Looks like we really are connected. But I'm the type who likes wandering around for no reason, so you should have warned me earlier with that line of yours."

"Since you like it so much, then this place will be where I send you straight to hell!"

The tour guide threw one of the butcher knives. Seeing this, Shen Huo dodged quickly, and the flying knife stabbed firmly into a pillar behind him.

Before Shen Huo could catch his breath, the tour guide, holding the other butcher knife, aimed it at his neck.

Shen Huo lay on his back on the ground and kicked the guide's armpit hard with both legs. The knife in the guide's hand flew out, making him stagger back a few steps.

As Shen Huo grabbed the butcher knife from the pillar, he saw the tour guide retreat swiftly back into the red silk.

Clack!

A piece of white bone fell out from the pillar behind him.

Shen Huo picked up the bone and examined it carefully for a moment, then shone his flashlight inside the pillar.

Inside was a skeleton, and in its hand was an old photo.

He pulled out the photo. It looked like a family portrait.

Was this person dead and then stuffed into the pillar? Or forced in alive?

There was no way to know for sure.

Shen Huo put the photo into his backpack and held the butcher knife, ready for the guide's next sneak attack.

Because of this photo, Shen Huo's livestream exploded!

[No way, that photo is the family portrait my little brother took. How could it end up in such a creepy place?!]

[Holy crap, a perfectly normal livestream just turned into a mystery case. This ain't just a haunted thing, this is murder. Like stepping on a sewing machine!]

[So it's not a prop, it's a real corpse! The plot twist is giving me chills! My brain can't keep up!]

[No one noticed how smoothly Shen Huo fought the guide earlier. Like flowing water—amazing!]

[I bet this guy's gonna blow up!]

"Watch your back!"

Yang Yiyi's warning came into his ear. Shen Huo instinctively leaned forward, catching sight of the tour guide hiding inside the red silk.

He used the guide's own move from before to knock the knife out of his hand. The two knives clashed in midair, sparks flying and ringing out crisp sounds.

Using too much force, Shen Huo lost control and fell to the ground. Just as he lifted his head, he saw the fat monkey hanging from the beam above.

Its belly was getting bigger and bigger, like a pregnant woman, about to give birth!

The fat monkey saw Shen Huo noticed it and snarled before jumping down from the beam.

Seeing this, Shen Huo grabbed the red cloth and leapt up, hanging in the air. After the monkey bit at empty air, it fell and instinctively protected its belly.

He became even more certain—the fat monkey was pregnant.

That was strange. How could a mountain spirit thing be pregnant?

Before he could think it through, a fierce wind hit from behind. Just as Shen Huo was about to grab another red silk strip, the fat monkey charged straight at him from the other side, making his hand slip. His shoulder was struck hard by the rushing tour guide.

Shen Huo heard a crack in his bones, and half his body went numb instantly.
