"This is called one-two-three-four-five, metal-wood-water-fire-earth!" Gu Han babbled as she swung her large hammer wildly.
"Huh?" Tao Jianchun and Chen Sisi were actually bewildered by her nonsense.
Gu Wanyin said with a headache, "What are you talking about at a time like this? You two, if you don't want to die, get into the passage quickly! Everyone else, stop fighting if you can and leave now!"
Jolted by her shout, Tao Jianchun and Chen Sisi snapped out of their daze and hurried towards the black vortex.
But the more urgent the situation became, the more relentless the ghosts and monsters were.
One ghost grabbed Tao Jianchun's collar, dragging him backward.
However, Tao Jianchun, having experienced scenarios before, wasn't entirely useless.
While wailing "Save me, please save me!", he punched and kicked at the ghost. Though his attacks weren't strong, the fierce display actually scared the ghost.
Chen Sisi, meanwhile, somehow produced a knife and was swinging it wildly with her eyes closed.
"Hey, you almost cut me!" Dong Yue shouted.
"Sorry, sorry..."
As they got closer to the vortex, the Second Young Mistress became enraged. She pulled out a talisman from somewhere and lit it. Almost instantly, an eerie wind rose, and the ghosts became even more ferocious, howling as they lunged at them.
At this point, even if they didn't want to fight, there was no way to shake off these ghosts and rush into the passage in such a short time.
Gu Wanyin bit her lip and gave Gu Han a meaningful look.
The two seemed to have a natural understanding; Gu Han immediately grasped her intention and pulled out a whip, driving away the ghosts approaching Gu Wanyin.
The others quickly understood what Gu Wanyin intended to do and began to cover for her.
Gu Wanyin rushed directly to the Second Young Mistress.
"You, what are you trying to do?" The Second Young Mistress hadn't expected this sudden move.
Without wasting words, Gu Wanyin plunged a knife into her heart.
"Capture the leader to defeat the army. Do I need to explain this principle to you?"
All these ghosts and monsters were controlled by the Second Young Mistress.
Once she died, they would no longer be so vicious.
Sure enough, the movements of the ghosts and monsters gradually became sluggish.
The Second Young Mistress only showed a moment of terror before quickly calming down, even seeming relieved.
"This is for the best," the Second Young Mistress said, no longer looking at Gu Wanyin. She turned her head, gently caressing the Second Young Master's face. "This way, we can finally be together forever."
Gu Wanyin wanted to say that the Second Young Master probably didn't want that.
But she didn't speak, only turning to leave.
The ghosts and monsters were now moving with great difficulty, unable to stop them any longer.
Gu Wanyin led everyone into the vortex.
The Second Young Mistress continued to cuddle up to the Second Young Master, a happy smile on her face.
But the Second Young Master's face remained expressionless. Looking closely, there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his eyes...
...
After another bout of dizzying spinning, when things settled down, Gu Wanyin slowly opened her eyes.
She was back at the entrance of the transfer station.
Gu Han, Dong Yue, Zhuang Xiaoxia, and Bai Shuwen were right beside her.
Gu Wanyin quickly opened her backpack.
Thankfully, the little squirrel system was still inside.
However, the little guy seemed to have been spun too violently and was still dizzy.
Gu Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, at least the system was by her side again now.
The next step was to figure out how to take the system and the others out of this horror world.
