"I was just checking the situation,"
Xu Xiangyang shrugged his shoulders, closed the door behind him with a push, and recounted to her what had just happened.
"Was it deliberate?" the squad leader asked, "Just making a commotion to signal us there's a problem but not willing to show themselves."
"Seems so," he nodded, "They probably want to lure us out."
The situation now was this: the two of them wanted to leave the Haunted House, while the Haunted House wanted to kill them.
The Haunted House was a fortress-like cage, incredibly solid yet hardly able to harm the people inside. To harm the two, the only option was to deploy the Evil Spirit, but the problem was, even the house's strongest monsters were no match for the squad leader.
And while Zhu Qingyue had an overwhelming power advantage over the Evil Spirits inside the Haunted House, they couldn't do anything to the house itself without understanding the specific mechanisms because this place was akin to another world.
