Gu Shengyin calmly spoke: "We came to this place by accident. We really want to leave this castle, do you have any way to let us out?"

As she asked, the others pricked up their ears.

What if, by luck, we encounter a ghost with a good heart who doesn’t crave human flesh, and helps us leave?

Then they heard the old woman’s cold voice: "This castle experiences a Realm of Life and Death transition every ten days, which is the only time when the living can enter. Since you had the misfortune to enter, don’t think about leaving until the next transition occurs."

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

At the same time, their admiration for Gu Shengyin grew.

It turned out just as she had calculated—they would need to stay here for at least ten days before they could leave.

Seeing that the old woman did not seem hostile to them, Zhang Chao summoned the courage to say: "Then, Madam, can we borrow this place for a few days? We’ll leave in nine days..."

The old woman slowly turned her head towards Zhang Chao.

The group was roughly encircled, and Zhang Chao was precisely opposite Gu Shengyin.

Their eyes saw that her body didn’t move, but her head seemed to spin entirely, staring straight at Zhang Chao.

The eerie scene sent a chill down Zhang Chao’s spine.

Too creepy.

Suddenly, the old woman’s voice became shrill: "No! The living are not allowed here, you must leave, leave this place!"

Gu Shengyin said: "Countless Vengeful Ghosts want our lives, we can’t just go down and die!"

The old woman suddenly laughed eerily; her hand suddenly sprouted extremely sharp nails.

Coldly staring at the group, the old woman’s eyes shone with a sinister light: "Do you really think staying on the second floor means I won’t take your lives?"

Seeing the old woman’s appearance, furrowed brows emerged in their hearts.

This development is wrong.

If the seemingly mighty old woman on the second floor also kills, how did Qin Chingqing survive?

Gu Shengyin felt a bit chaotic inside.

This sensation of thinking you found hope, only for reality to slap you coldly, does not feel good.

She forced herself to calm down.

Something must be wrong, there should be a way.

Gu Shengyin tried reasoning with the old woman: "We bear no malice and won’t disturb your life. We simply seek a place to stay for a while, why can’t you tolerate us?"

But the old woman didn’t listen at all.

She simply coldly told them to scram.

Gu Shengyin decided to ignore her.

She spoke to her companions behind her: "Seems my guess was wrong, the second floor doesn’t bring us hope."

Her tone carried a hint of apology.

Unexpectedly, this time Qin Chingqing was the first to comfort her: "What’s the big deal? At least, compared to the chaotic scene in the hall, this place isn’t so hard to look at."

Their laughter couldn’t be helped as she finished speaking.

She had indeed spoken aptly.

The entire second floor, aside from the dark corridors, really only had this one ghostly old woman.
