Gu Shengyin used some clean water to wipe her wound.

Without disinfectant or clean cotton balls, she could only hope that these millennia-old rosewood furniture didn’t harbor any stubborn bacteria.

She felt someone jostle her from behind, and couldn’t help but say aloud, "Qing Ge, stop shaking me."

A puzzled voice from Qing Ge responded, "I didn’t shake you..."

Gu Shengyin felt her heart tighten.

Then, it wasn’t just her; everyone noticed the shaking.

It wasn’t someone shaking—it was the ground shaking.

"What’s going on? Is it... an earthquake?" the white-collar man, Li Qiang, said.

Gu Shengyin: "..."

Even using her toes to think, she knew an earthquake was impossible.

The ground shook fiercely, and the few of them could only hold hands tightly, huddling together to avoid getting lost.

In a place they couldn’t see, on the first floor.

The Vengeful Ghosts that had terrified the six of them to death were now trembling in a corner.

The entire hall echoed with the sound of ghostly wails.

The Vengeful Ghosts sensed a powerful force gradually awakening.

That force...

The Ghosts and Goblins felt that the owner of this power could easily destroy them with a mere thought.

And a few of the more intelligent, such as the Female Ghost in the statue, gathered to whisper quietly among themselves.

"This power... Could it be the legendary... His Grace the Duke?" the old crone with a crowbar said slowly.

After she spoke, the ghostly pale faces of the ghosts showed a fitting expression of fear.

They melted into the darkness, hoping it wasn’t true. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

On the second floor.

The old woman had already knelt on the ground, repeatedly bowing in the direction of the staircase at the end of the corridor.

She had lost many memories but instinctively respected and feared this power.

The only ones calm were still the six unaware of anything.

The sound of the ground shaking slowly subsided.

Everything returned to calm.

Qin Chingching breathed a sigh of relief, looking up, "It finally stopped. I was worried that if this place had collapsed, we might have fallen right down to the first floor..."

Her words caught in her throat.

Not only her, but everyone was also stunned by the scene before them.

The shaking a moment ago was like an unknown switch had been turned on.

The entire room had undergone a tremendous transformation.

The room, originally enclosed by walls on all sides, now had windows through which the clear sky and soft white clouds could be seen.

If they remembered correctly, the sky over this castle had always been gloomy, with no sun in sight, so where did this blue sky and white clouds come from?

Most astonishing of all, several doors appeared on the wall right opposite them.

Doors.

With golden brass handles.

They had no doubt that they needed only to twist lightly to open the doors.

Then they would see new things.

"This..."

Qin Chingching swallowed, "Where exactly have we arrived?"

No one answered her.

No one could answer this question.

Not even Gu Shengyin knew.

At that moment, everyone was shocked to find that the door suddenly turned.

The door moved by itself, without anyone touching it.

There was only one explanation.

On the other side of the door, someone was there.

Everyone held their breath.
