Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Heavenly Master 54

Han Qiao Yu carefully maneuvered around Situ Shuangshuang’s hand that was holding a human leg bone, sidled over to grab her arm, and finally felt a bit more at ease as she said, ”That’s it, just the four of us came over. These people are my former middle school classmates. We hadn’t gathered in a long time, so we wanted to seize the opportunity of a long-awaited reunion to do something thrilling together. Who knew there were real ghosts in this haunted house? And now we don’t even know where we’ve ended up. This place is like a maze; we’ve been going around in circles and can’t get out. I’m scared to death! If I can get out, I swear I will never play a haunted house adventure game again in my life!”

As she spoke, Han Qiao Yu’s nose twitched, and she couldn’t help but sob. A girl, after a whole night of fleeing, was now exhausted and hungry, her throat parched to the point of smoking, with nothing to eat or drink, and she could only endure it, all while constantly being terrified by ghosts! It’s already a testament to their strong mental resilience that these kids haven’t collapsed.

After crying a couple of times, Han Qiao Yu stopped, not because she wanted to but because she was too tired and mainly too thirsty. Her body lacked water to such an extent that even if she wanted to cry, she couldn’t waste any moisture, and crying was too painful, so she couldn’t cry anymore.

Situ Shuangshuang had rushed over too quickly, only thinking about finding people, and hadn’t bothered to buy any food or drink. As for food, she couldn’t cook without ingredients, but water was easy to handle. Situ Shuangshuang directly used the Water Manipulation Technique to conjure a large ball of water in her palm and said to Han Qiao Yu and her several wide-eyed classmates, ”Come over and have some water!”

Actually, this situation was quite eerie: an unfamiliar classmate appearing out of nowhere, capable of subduing the ghosts that had scared them out of their wits, and even able to summon water out of thin air—any way you looked at it, it wasn’t normal.

But in the extreme exhaustion, hunger, and fear, the brain can malfunction, and there was also a bit of wishful thinking. This was the first person they had encountered with such incredible abilities, and everyone hoped this person was a real savior and not another ghostly illusion. Thus, from the bottom of their hearts, they were unwilling to believe that Situ Shuangshuang was anything but human. Even if Situ Shuangshuang were truly a ghost, they would hypnotize themselves into thinking she was human, a savior!

After drinking their fill, even though they were still hungry, they were much more comfortable, and their drained bodies seemed to recover somewhat. Han Qiao Yu, now satiated, helped introduce her companions to Situ Shuangshuang.

First up was the boy with spiky hair, named Kong Xinfan. His hair wasn’t naturally spiky; it was just standing on end from the fear earlier! At this moment, Kong Xinfan’s hair was lying flat again, and he looked like a fresh-faced boy.

The one wearing glasses was called Xiang Kai Ming. Just a moment ago, he had been the most composed, although his face was also filled with fear. At least he didn’t cry loudly while running. Currently, Xiang Kai Ming was the only one who maintained any degree of wariness towards Situ Shuangshuang.

The specific behavior was that while others were desperately clinging to Situ Shuangshuang for a sense of security, he kept some distance from her, perhaps to ensure that he could escape if Situ Shuangshuang suddenly turned hostile.

The girl named Li Na had performed the worst, crying for her parents while being chased. Li Na seemed to be utterly terrified and was currently huddled beside Situ Shuangshuang, sobbing quietly and continuously.

Situ Shuangshuang was surrounded to the point where she couldn’t even move her feet. She could only take out four Amulets, ignite them with Palm Fire, and press the four flickering yellow lights into their bodies. With a frosty tone and expression, she said, ”Don’t cling to me so tightly that I can’t even walk. Do you plan to sit here and starve to death with me? We need to hurry and find the way out.”

”How do we find the way out? We’ve been running around here all night, only to keep wandering through identical corridors and rooms with no exit in sight. We’re going to be trapped here forever!”

Hearing Situ Shuangshuang’s words, Li Na, who had been sobbing, suddenly collapsed, squatting on the ground and covering her face as she wailed! Li Na’s mindset was shared by everyone, so when she broke down, it almost made Han Qiao Yu want to start crying too.

Even Kong Xinfan and Xiang Kai Ming, these two strong-hearted young men, were hit with a wave of despair. Although Situ Shuangshuang looked formidable, the terrifying experience of the entire night was hard for their minds to lift themselves out of fear.

Situ Shuangshuang was too impatient to listen to them cry, so she snorted coldly, ”Why are you crying! Use that energy to conserve your strength; we still have to walk later. You may want to stay behind, but I don’t. Once you’ve rested enough, follow me.”

After speaking, Situ Shuangshuang took the lead and started walking forward. While walking, she fully opened her Dharma Eye. Now that she had found the people, there was no reason to waste more time here. Situ Shuangshuang intended to quickly locate the connection point between the real memories and the illusion, and unravel the Ghost Realm Illusion.

Situ Shuangshuang’s method was very straightforward and rough. She didn’t bother going to every possible location in the presumably vast Ghost Realm Illusion. Relying on her stock of self-made talismans, she simply pulled out the drawn talismans and scattered them along the way.

Each talisman scattered by Situ Shuangshuang emitted a golden light, which dissolved part of the Ghost Realm Illusion. As she walked, she threw them, and soon discovered a point linking reality and the illusion!

Unlike other places where the illusion disappeared completely upon contact with a talisman, at this spot, there was a momentary distortion in the air, with one part disappearing and another part remaining.

That spot was where the fierce ghost’s real memories resided. Situ Shuangshuang immediately led the group towards it. Before they could get close, a strong force suddenly appeared in the air in front of them, making it difficult for them to step forward. Clearly, this force was trying to prevent them from entering.

Situ Shuangshuang performed a Magic Technique with her hand, pointing forward. Her Mana communicated with the Yin Qi in the room, gathering it together. She cast out an Evil-breaking Talisman, which instantly ignited the gathered Yin Qi, causing a surge of turbulent air in the atmosphere, and the oppressive force that had been weighing them down dissipated in an instant. The group found themselves entering the room of the fierce ghost’s real memories.

Upon entering the fierce ghost’s true memory, the group felt as if they had left a world filled with countless eerie corridors and stepped into a normal world.

It was just an ordinary room with a small window. Sunlight shone in from outside, dispelling some of the darkness in their hearts. Though the white paint on the walls was peeling slightly, it wasn’t severe. The most prominent feature in the room was a big, wide bed lined with a group of children sitting side by side.

The children’s clothes were very dirty and shabby, some of them even had obvious disabilities. A middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties was talking to two well-dressed individuals in suits, looking like business elites. As he pointed at the children, he introduced, ”Rest assured, all the kids here are healthy, and they’ve been out long enough that no family will miss them. You can buy them back without worry, and whether you want to sell them individually or use them as you wish...”

The middle-aged man was speaking eloquently, clearly pitching the children on the bed. The teenagers observing from Situ Shuangshuang’s side were dumbfounded! They were young, having lived in the ivory towers of academia, with no exposure to such dark realities. It took them a long time to realize what the middle-aged man was actually doing!
