Chapter 282 Bewitching
Chapter 282 Bewitched

"Ms. Xu Zhifei?"

A slightly hesitant voice suddenly came from the figure in the Moon Gate.

Ruan Jie?!
Isn't she dead?

"Is that you, Miss Xu?" Ruan Jie's voice trembled a little. Because the surrounding environment was too dim, she didn't dare to confirm that the silhouette in front of her was Xu Zhifei.

"it's me."

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Zhifei answered her.

"Phew, that's great, I finally found you..." Ruan Jie was obviously relieved, her tone rose a bit, "Ms. Xu, come here quickly! It seems that we can pass through this yard! I can see something like an emergency exit, we should be able to leave this haunted house from there!"

This news made Xu Zhifei's heart move slightly, but then, she felt something was wrong. She would not make the same mistake again.

Is this Ruan Jie really a living person?
She would have to find a way to verify this.

But this is also a very risky thing. Whether it is text or film and television works, in fact, many evil ghosts will not choose to take action before their identities are revealed by humans. The moment when they really reveal their true colors is often when humans discover some flaws. In fact, it seems like they are angry and embarrassed after being exposed.

Xu Zhifei did not listen to Ruan Jie and immediately crossed the yard to the Moon Gate. Instead, he stood there, keeping a sufficient distance, and said, "Yang Xiaocan said you were dead."

Ruan Jie was silent for a moment, as if she remembered something very bad. Then, her voice was no longer so happy, but mixed with some resentment, "She used me and betrayed me one after another. She was right. I am dead. That naive fool is dead."

Xu Zhifei did not respond. She was a profiler, but she did not like to speculate on people's psychology.

Ruan Jie's speech sounded like a resolute statement after being frustrated, but in fact, saying such words is still an immature behavior.

After all, there are huge differences between people. Ruan Jie is obviously inferior to Yang Xiaocan in terms of appearance and intelligence.

She thought that if she made a change, things would change, but that was not the case.

Gold will always shine, but she is obviously just a stone and can't shine anywhere.

Xu Zhifei didn't want to listen to her nonsense. Fortunately, Ruan Jie didn't talk too much about how sad and disappointed she was. She simply said, "When I passed by the coffin, Ou Zheng suddenly appeared on the ground, then it flew up and bit me, but... it was just an illusion. I was not bitten by it. I passed the yard smoothly and reached the Moon Gate."

"Miss Xu, this courtyard is simply a test of one's courage. As long as you are not frightened by these coffins and stop moving forward, you will be able to pass through it smoothly. Everything that happens along the way is an illusion. Just run over here with your eyes closed."

Ruan Jie gave her opinion sincerely.

Xu Zhifei listened quietly, but his mind was analyzing what she had just said.

What Ruan Jie said matched what Yang Xiaocan mentioned before. So far, it seems that she did not lie.

But not lying doesn't mean she's not a ghost.

Ghosts are usually omniscient.

And they are good at deceiving people.

After all, there is only one way to determine whether Ruan Jie is a ghost or not, and that is to ask a question that only she knows and that she shouldn't know.

Just as Xu Zhifei was thinking this, Ruan Jie suddenly said anxiously: "Miss Xu! The wall behind you is moving!"

what?
Xu Zhifei turned around suddenly. The wall that was two or three meters away from him just now was now almost close to his back!
If I don't hurry over, I will be pushed to the coffin by this wall sooner or later. But... is the area near the coffin really the same as Ruan Jie said, is it just an illusion?
She didn't think the schemer would be so kind and just want to test their courage. He must have tried every means to kill them and would never let them go in such a place.

So... there must be some deadly murder hidden here.

But the fact that the wall behind him was slowly moving put Xu Zhifei under tremendous pressure.

Her effective thinking time was greatly reduced, and now there seemed to be only one way before her, which was to listen to Ruan Jie and rush through the five coffins regardless of everything to go to the Moon Gate.

and many more……

Road?

Xu Zhifei suddenly realized something. She looked at the five coffins in the yard, her brain working frantically.

Something seemed wrong... Whether it was Ruan Jie who appeared at the Moon Gate or the wall that kept moving behind her, both seemed to have the same purpose, which was... to get her to go to the Moon Gate.

She didn't know when it started, but the strange message "Moon Gate equals the way to life" suddenly appeared in her mind.

Then, her thoughts were guided by how to safely pass through the yard, among which avoiding these five strange coffins became the top priority.

But perhaps it was a waste of time and effort. It would have been better if the wall behind him had not moved. Instead, its movement made Xu Zhifei confirm his idea.

The real vitality is not in the Moon Gate, but in the coffin!

The way of life in front of them is a dead end, and these five terrible coffins are the only chance of survival that the planner has to leave for them within the rules!
Coffins are objects that people are afraid of and are easily associated with fantasy and ghosts. Add to that all kinds of strange phenomena happening around them, and naturally, the word "danger" is put on them.

Everyone would subconsciously avoid it, so how could anyone think that it is the way to survive?
Xu Zhifei's mind raced. After she confirmed that the coffin was the way to life and the Moon Gate was the way to death, an incident that had just happened suddenly reappeared in her mind.

She remembered... when Ruan Jie called her for the first time just now, she called her name.

She called out "Ms. Xu Zhifei".

It's a ghost!
Fierce ghost!

But it cannot enter this yard and can only beckon at the Moon Gate. If I really listen to it and rush through the coffin to the Moon Gate, I will be torn to pieces by it immediately!

Xu Zhifei suddenly remembered that Bai Yanliang did not tell Ruan Jie and the other two his real names. The name he used was Bai Yanren, and for her, Bai Yanliang only told everyone to call her Xiao Xu and did not reveal her real name.

So... there is no way Ruan Jie could know that her name is Xu Zhifei.

So, the thing that called out the name Xu Zhifei was undoubtedly a ghost!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhifei immediately rushed towards the coffin.

In the darkness, Ruan Jie looked at her expressionlessly. When she saw Xu Zhifei running over, she revealed a strange smile.

However, Xu Zhifei suddenly stopped, pushed open the lid of a coffin, and went in without hesitation.

Ruan Jie's expression suddenly became extremely terrifying and ugly. She stared at the coffin, and the wall was getting closer.

Finally, the ground beneath her feet caught fire, she turned into a pile of ash, and her figure disappeared.
