"What's going on? Is it the same as before?"

A chill ran down the back of Fatty's head, and the fear he had just suppressed erupted instantly. Ever since he set foot on this path, he had felt uncomfortable all over, and it turned out it was happening here.

But things were far from over. When everyone turned around again, an even more terrifying scene unfolded. The road ahead had also changed, and 20 meters in front of them was another familiar crossroads.

Crossroads both in front and behind, each with a bowl, like a pair of mirrors, trapping them in the middle.

This time, even Luo Tianhe couldn't keep his composure. He couldn't understand it, and he didn't dare to think about it. Now it seemed that the three roads just now were all traps, and death awaited them no matter which one they took. So, where was the path to survival?

Missions shouldn't have inescapable death options. They must have overlooked something, something very important.

After discovering that the road ahead had also changed, Lin Qianqian looked back again at the road they had walked. The crossroads behind them hadn't changed, but Lin Qianqian felt that it seemed slightly different from what she had seen before.

It seemed… closer.

A jolt of electricity instantly pierced her mind, and Lin Qianqian immediately issued a warning, "These… these roads are alive. The crossroads on both sides are constantly approaching us. Think of a way quickly!"

Yuan Shanyuan spoke before Luo Tianhe, "Everyone, the current situation is definitely not a dead end. Don't panic. Calm down and think about whether we missed some details before. Some clues are hidden in the details, or whether we saw anything strange on the road. If you did, be sure to speak up!"

Yuan Shanyuan's face was still calm, but his slightly trembling voice betrayed his current state of mind. The two crossroads, one in front and one behind, were gradually compressing them at a slow pace, like two mountains, bringing them immense pressure.

"I… I saw a figure on the way here, with its back to me. It was a woman," Yao Shunyu said. "But when I looked closely, the woman disappeared, and a tree root stood there instead."

"But I'm sure I didn't see it wrong," Yao Shunyu added.

A light flickered in Luo Tianhe's eyes, and he immediately asked, "Where did you see it?"

"In the woods, on the left… not far from the woods on the left."

"There?"

Luo Tianhe looked at Yao Shunyu, raised his arm, and pointed to the left woods as if to confirm.

Nodding, Yao Shunyu subconsciously looked over, but it would have been better if he hadn't. That one glance made his pupils shrink suddenly. In the woods, between two trees, he saw that woman again!

Only this time, the woman didn't disappear. Instead, she was standing on a broken tree stump, her black hair hanging down, obscuring her face. Her right arm was raised and extended flat, waving at him in an indescribably strange gesture.

Yao Shunyu immediately realized that he had been tricked. Luo Tianhe did it on purpose!

But now that two of his yang flames had been extinguished, he was more easily entangled by Yin and evil things than others. With just that one glance, he could no longer look away.

No matter how hard he tried to control himself, it was useless. His legs began to move uncontrollably, walking towards the woman step by step.

At the same time, his remaining consciousness was gradually dissolving.

But the scene in the eyes of Jiang Cheng and others was even more terrifying. Yao Shunyu seemed to be possessed by a vengeful ghost. His steps seemed stiff and slow, but in reality, he was moving extremely fast, floating erratically.

It felt like he wasn't walking, but being carried in the air by a hand.

In the blink of an eye, Yao Shunyu arrived at the spot where the woman was standing, but Jiang Cheng and the others didn't see any woman. What they saw was an old tree stump that had been chopped off, and a crooked-neck tree next to the stump.

A hanging rope made of rough hemp hung down from the crooked-neck tree, stopping right above Yao Shunyu's head, swaying left and right as if to greet him.

No matter how Fatty shouted, Yao Shunyu didn't respond. Yao Shunyu, with his back to the crowd, seemed to have completely changed. He stood there like a piece of wood, stepped onto the old tree stump, and stiffly reached out with both hands, grabbing the hanging rope and putting it around his neck.

"The life-reaping ghost has come to claim a life…"

Luo Tianhe sighed, shook his head slightly, and looked extremely regretful, as if he also wanted to save people very much, but he was powerless in the face of such a scene.

Lin Qianqian was secretly delighted, but she didn't want to show it, so she could only imitate Luo Tianhe and sigh in a pretentious manner, "It's a pity about Yao Shunyu. I quite liked him, but I hope the life-reaping ghost will spare us after killing him."

Yuan Shanyuan said with a solemn expression, "It will. The life-reaping ghost can only use the hanging rope to take one person's life at a time. It's a pity that little friend Yao's life flame is not strong, and he has attracted such an evil spirit."

Listening to these people ruining Yao Shunyu with their comments, Fatty felt increasingly angry, especially Yuan Shanyuan, this old thing who kills without drawing blood, who completely blamed Yao Shunyu's death on his own bad luck. Anyone with eyes could see that his matter was directly related to Luo Tianhe. If Yao Shunyu hadn't said that he saw the woman, and hadn't followed the direction Luo Tianhe pointed, who would be dead now was still unknown.

"Fatty, take out the thing!"

Jiang Cheng's roar pulled Fatty back to reality from his inner struggle. He was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted. The doctor was referring to the mirror hidden on his body.

After seeing Fatty take out the mirror, Luo Tianhe, Yuan Shanyuan, and Lin Qianqian all had interesting expressions.

"How do you use this thing?"

Fatty was worried that if the method was wrong, it would harm Yao Shunyu instead. After all, he had never used this mirror to shine on a living person before, and no one knew what would happen.

"Don't worry about it, shine it on him!"

This time it was Li Bai who spoke. She had the same concerns as Fatty, but looking at Yao Shunyu's current situation, things couldn't get much worse. It was just a death anyway.

The only difference was whether he died in this mirror or was hanged by the life-reaping ghost.

Hearing this, Fatty didn't hesitate any longer. He picked up the mirror and pointed it in Yao Shunyu's direction. At this time, Yao Shunyu was already suspended in the air, struggling desperately like a dying fish, grasping the rope with both hands, his eyes bulging, and his face turning a terrifying purplish-red.

Through the reflection of the mirror, everyone saw a terrifying scene.

Under the originally empty crooked-neck tree, a female ghost nearly two meters tall was standing, grabbing the rope and tightening it with force.

And the most incredible thing was the female ghost's neck, which was severely elongated, like a humanoid giraffe, severely disproportionate to her body.

The moment her figure was exposed in the mirror, the female ghost suddenly turned her head, rotating her neck 180 degrees, and stared at Fatty.
