The night vigil on the second day went awry.
As soon as Zhou Deng left the rear hall with the white lantern, the previously stable situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
This was because everyone speculated that Zhou Deng's departure had caused the mourning ritual to happen prematurely—a fatal development. With the ghost still wandering inside the ancient haunted house, starting the mourning now was akin to informing the malevolent spirit that someone had died in the rear hall.
Even though ghosts lack thoughts and cannot weigh pros and cons,
the situation in this ancient house couldn't be judged by common logic. After all, supernatural matters often defy reason.
At times, such events constantly shatter people's understanding of reality.
"The rear hall is no longer safe—the ghost is invading. Yang Jian, what should we do now?"
Fan Xing was panicking at this point. Unable to come up with a better idea, he could only place his hopes on Yang Jian.
