Yu Chen Is Still Here!

The three exchanged a glance as they continued climbing stairs, but this time their pace was way faster. Even Xie Ai, who usually couldn't even lift his hand after getting exhausted, rushed with all his might, despite gasping for breath.

But the guards were indeed a bunch of ghosts who had superhuman strength. They caught up easily as Yu Weimin turned back as glared at those guards. He directly pushed Xie Ai upstairs, grabbing his lover's wrist. "Out of the way!"

Xie Ai stumbled, but he still managed to stand with the support of the wall. By the time he glanced back, the duo was already engaging with the guards, fighting with their guns.

He had originally wanted to help, but just as he was about to walk toward them, Yu Weimin spoke coldly, "You'll only get in our way. Go upstairs and try to find some help."

Xie Ai looked over at the duo fighting for a moment before being turned around and rushed upstairs. At the same time, a guard who had freed himself also dashed toward the white-haired young man, but before his hands could reach, Qi Jingguo grabbed the ghost back and threw him down the stairs.

He chuckled coldly and said, "Don't act like I'm not there. Deal with me first!"

On the other side, Xie Ai had already reached the topmost floor as he headed over to the terrace. Like other times, he turned the knob, but this time, the knob didn't turn. His eyes widened as he tried to turn it fiercely.

His heart was beating fast as beads of cold sweat rolled down his body. He pursed his lips and this time, he used both hands to turn it.

No, why is it locked now out of all time?!

Xie Ai cursed under his breath as he stepped back a bit and used his foot to kick it open, but it didn't. The sound of fighting kept coming closer and closer as the traces of fear in his eyes also turned fiercer.

He knew that they wouldn't be able to hold on for long knowing the ghosts can't be harmed. So he had to open this door somehow.

At the same time, what he didn't know was that a certain powerless ghost kid had always been wandering behind him like a little tail. When the little boy's emerald eyes stared up at the big brother frightened to death, he became even more anxious.

He tried grabbing the other's clothes, but his hands passed through them rapidly. A frown appeared on his face as he looked over at the doorknob, finally making a decision.

Then he walked over, smiling. As he turned toward the frightened white-haired man, he said, "Big brother, I'll probably disappear forever slowly like this, but I'm happy to help you."

The little ghost boy stared at the door knob with a serious expression on his face as dark energy poured out of his body all of a sudden, rendering his face paler. But he still gritted his teeth and continued pouring his power that directly blasted an attack at the door.

Xie Ai, who didn't know that someone was helping him, saw the doorknob getting blasted all of a sudden. His eyes widened as he covered up his face and stepped back a bit, standing on the edge of the staircase.

After calming down, he finally walked forward as he held the door with his trembling hands. He felt like someone helped him just now seeing him frightened, and he even had an intuition about who it could be, but how was that possible?

Didn't that person disappear right in front of him?

But he didn't have enough time to dwell on it. He directly put his hands on the door as he yelled, "Yu Weimin, Qi Jingguo…. The door's open!"

Now that the door was open, he didn't know how they could shut it off once again. But he didn't worry about it anymore. He was sure they would have a way.

And he was right. The duo rushed to the door, slightly exhausted as sweat drops rolled down their temples. The three of them directly ran out of the door, heading toward the terrace. As Xie Ai closed the door, Yu Weimin directly pulled out a talisman and thumped it at the door with his palms.

The three of them gasped for breath, then the door was suddenly knocked from the inside with so much force that Xie Ai feared it might break apart.

His face turned pale, but when he looked at the talisman keeping the door firm, he swallowed and took a deep breath, turning to his friends. "It won't break, right?"

"Let's hope." Yu Weimin's answer was vague, making Xie Ai even more frightened.

As he was about to open his mouth, his eyes happened to glance at the abandoned shrine. He frowned, directly stepping toward it. For some reason, he wanted to go inside.

The other two also walked behind Xie Ai, heading for the shrine.

It still looked the same as the broken deity stood there at the end, looking tragic. Xie Ai looked around and found that the dark clouds on the ceiling had thickened for some reason.

"The last time we came, we didn't get a chance to look around," said Qi Jingguo. "Since we can't open the door, we have a lot of time to spend in this shrine."

Yu Weimin frowned as he looked at the broken deity. "Maybe we should find the broken pieces and build the deity once again."

Qi Jingguo slapped his lover's back as he nodded proudly, saying, "That's my lover! You stole words right from my mouth!"

Xie Ai, "....."

He ignored the sticky couple and walked toward the broken deity as he bent over, looking carefully. A layer of dust had settled on the surface, making the yellowish pants look dull.

His lips pursed. He remembered how this deity looked from the hallucination previously. But certainly, this idea was rather strange and illogical. How could they manage to build the entire deith back to its original form in a short time?

He looked at the darkened sky as he felt an eerie atmosphere around him. A broken shrine and the darkest hour of night…. These two didn't match well.

He had an intuition that something was about to happen tonight if they didn't hurry.
