Xiu Yi thought for a moment, then briefly explained that it wasn't curse power, but was formed by resentful spirits. The terrifying part was that it not only appeared in the form of frightening scenarios but could also drag a person into an alternate space without them knowing. If everyone gathered together, it might be somewhat better. The rules of that alternate space somewhat resembled the space-time dimension of Foggy Town they were currently in, just as Kevin had previously experienced, being in one place and yet unable to see another person.

Now, what everyone faced was not only Foggy Town itself but also a curse that you were unaware of, making things increasingly complicated.

The problem was that Kevin's previous experiences were still in the phase of falsehood turning into reality, but now they faced actual problems. If the curse turned falsehood into reality, what should they do?

Feng Yi said, "So, the main thing about that entity is scaring and dragging people into an alternate space?"

"Yes, Brother Feng."

"What if one isn't scared? And what if people gather together?"

"Um, well..."

Xiu Yi was truly stumped by the question, especially Feng Yi's first statement. It could be said that in movies and TV shows, no one ever faced that entity without fear, perhaps specifically crafted for a horror atmosphere. But just as Brother Feng had said, is the world truly that complex? Fear is merely a lack of understanding of the unknown.

As for the second point, there was no resolution. He remembered how the protagonist in movies and TV shows would try to escape the curse by hiding in crowded places such as markets and malls, yet still inevitably get dragged into an alternate space. The scenes in the alternate space were almost exactly as you saw them, only that everyone around had disappeared, not even a mouse remained. That was the most terrifying aspect of the curse's power.

However, aside from that, Xiu Yi also shared some of his views that the protagonist in order to avoid the curse, appeared in crowded areas, which ultimately led to him being the last killed, merely reversing the order but not the result.

Of course, to people like them, with keen spiritual perception, perhaps they would sense the curse's arrival at the first moment, but that was all they could do, as ordinary people were helpless against such unknown matters.

It could be said that the most challenging issue they now faced was no longer Foggy Town. After all, one could be safe here, but the curse was different.

After several minutes of repeated questioning by Bai Zhexian, he had roughly determined that this curse was somewhat similar to Earth Bondage but with extremely strong spiritual power and deep resentful spirits, especially after being portrayed in movies and TV, it would be even harder to deal with.

Thus, gathering everyone together was the best way to avoid it, as this room only restricted the game rules of Foggy Town, but not the entity from the movies and TV shows.

Feng Yi said, "Let's consider how to escape. This space's rules are vastly different from our universe. Once we get out, I think everything will end."

"Brother Feng's words are quite right. However, do you all think we should leave now or wait until the cycle of the inner world ends?"

"I don't suggest leaving now, those things outside are too disgusting…" Thinking about that scene, Xixi immediately dismissed the thought of leaving now.

Kevin said, "Leaving now has its own advantages. For everyone, leaving here is of utmost importance. We don't need to follow the game script. If we keep delaying, the curse's power will only ferment faster. At least against monsters, we will still be able to fight, right?"

Red Ghost shook his head and said softly, "I've briefly fought a monster that was 3 meters tall, very difficult to handle. If every monster in the inner world view is as powerful as him, even…" Red Ghost glanced at Feng Yi, insinuating that even with Feng Yi's strength, it might be tough to fend off a pack of wolves alone.

Red Ghost added, "By the way, I'm currently at Rank 1."

Hey, Rank 1? Is this young lady really that strong? Bai Zhexian looked at Red Ghost with considerable interest.

Xiu Yi didn't take a stance but looked sharply at Feng Yi, "What is Brother Feng's opinion?"

Opinion? It's a case of 'he said, she said.' Leaving early has its advantages, but it also poses great risks. Yet, if we really wait until the outer world switches, the potential hazards would be immeasurable—usually rational, Xixi also showed an emotional attitude in this matter. In a flash of thought, Feng Yi quickly gave an answer, "I won't decide, let's settle this by playing rock-paper-scissors."

Huh? Is Brother Feng so casual? Upon hearing this, everyone, except Bai Zhexian, had countless exclamation marks pop up above their heads!!

It must be said that Bai Zhexian, being a bard, indeed harbored the idea of meeting that so-called curse, so he chose to stand with Xixi and Red Ghost.

Kevin and Xiu Yi advocated for leaving, thus starting the game of rock-paper-scissors swiftly.

Kevin was quite adept at rock-paper-scissors. Even under the conditions of best two out of three, he didn't let Red Ghost or Xixi win a single game. Unfortunately, there was the crafty Bai Zhexian opposing them. The swiftness and unpredictability of his moves were like lightning, hard to defend against, so after Bai Zhexian tactfully gave Xiu Yi and Kevin two rounds each, he easily won. The team then chose to stay for the time being.

The group slowly drifted to sleep amid disjointed conversations, and the night was dreamless...

In their dreams, Feng Yi and Bai Zhexian suddenly woke up, sensing an ominous presence already enveloping the room. Red Ghost, who was almost at the First Order, should have vaguely sensed it too, but she continued to sleep unaware. Did this signify that the curse's power was drawing closer to them?

Outside, the creaking and grinding noises were particularly ear-piercing and horrifying. However, apart from Feng Yi and Bai Zhexian who had Spiritual Perception, Kevin and Xixi, who had also entered the room, kept sleeping without any reaction.

"I'll check it out, Brother Feng, wait here."

"Let me go instead, Brother Bai. You are stronger than me now, and it would be difficult for me to look after them if you left."

"Alright, be very careful."

Bai Zhexian agreed ambiguously. According to the description Xiu Yi provided, encountering the curse was more likely when one was alone. Presently, it was still Middle World time, meaning Feng Yi could potentially meet the Devil and the curse talked about by Xiu Yi, but definitely not the boss-laden conditions of the Inner World. In this regard, Feng Yi was not very worried. He gently opened the door and strode outside, his Spiritual Magnetic Field enveloping him...

A few steps away from the door, Feng Yi suddenly realized that the ominous presence had completely targeted him. As he turned around, he was shocked to find the room's interior had completely changed. The room that had held five people was now completely empty, and the surrounding decayed walls and rusted, corroded iron frames had silently reverted to their original hues.

Did this mean, in a sense, that the curse's power had transcended the bounds of Foggy Town itself, at least affecting that Bizarre Space, pulling him into it? Hmm, interesting.

The reason he didn't use the Third Rhythm was not that he was incapable, but rather to prevent distortion of the space. He really wasn't about to let himself be fish meat on the chopping board, was he?

At that moment, the silent church was lit only by a faint light shining from outside. As Feng Yi walked, his muscles relaxed but his alertness reached an unprecedented height, keenly observing everything along the way.

As he pushed the outer door open, whoosh! A white blur, possibly Ghost Shadow or something else, flashed suddenly in front of Feng Yi. It opened its gaping maw emitting a pitiful cat's cry. Before the sound was even halfway through, Feng Yi stepped forward against the wind and struck with a single hand to its throat.

Whoosh!

The illusion disappeared as if it hadn't expected this man to not only have a steady mind but also to capture the essence in an instant and strike opportunistically.

From then on, that type of cat's cry and the pale, unknown Ghost Shadow did not appear again.

At that moment, suddenly, another chilling giggle abruptly rose from not far away. The sound seemed forcefully squeezed out from the throat, extremely mournful and horrifying. As the sound continued to approach, a woman—or perhaps a monster—dressed in white with disheveled hair and a fierce face lay prostrate on the ground. She crawled towards him in a grotesquely twisted position like a four-legged beast.
