A Guest in a Ghost House Chapter 121

I nodded and agreed with Xiao Lingdang . However, looking at the people who were still arguing, I didn't want to express my opinion out loud . Even if I did, they would never listen to me because, in their eyes, I was a total layman . Of course, I really was a layman .

I took a look at the mysterious man and Wu Jian . They were still in the same position . Nothing had changed . Suddenly, from the corner of my eye, I realized that Wu Jian's face was reflecting a faint light .

I hurriedly took a closer look . Sure enough, it was not an illusion . I stepped forward a few steps only to find that the shine was from his sweat .

That doesn't seem good…

I turned around and yelled to get everyone's attention . “Stop talking! Their situation doesn't seem great,” I shouted .

As soon as they heard me speak, everyone stopped arguing and came forward to see the sweat on Wu Jian's face . Sister Hua anxiously walked to the mysterious man's and just kept looking at him . She dared not look in the crystal coffin or even take a glance at it .

Sister Hua gently lifted mysterious man's veil . After the veil was lifted, the mysterious man trembled slightly and a faint female voice said, “Illusion . Find its obsession . ”

“You woke up!” Sister Hua cried happily, but then the mysterious man had become like a woodcarving again and no longer gave even the slightest reaction .

“Illusion . Find its obsession,” Sister Hua repeated the mysterious man's words in a low voice .

I thought about them carefully . “Is it possible that they are helping the ghost find the obsession in an illusion?” I asked .

Huang Xiaolong just shook his head slightly, and said with a hint of uncertainty, “If the obsession is in the illusion ghost creates, wouldn't it be easy for him to get it?”

Sister Hua shook her head . “Not necessarily . I've seen an obsession ghost once . His obsession was in his illusion, but because he was in his illusion, he was never able to get it . ”

“I don't understand,” I said, looking at her quizzically .

Then Sister Hua laughed and said, “The obsession existed because he couldn't get something . He believed that he couldn't get it in his mind, so how could he then get it inside his own illusion?”

I nodded to show that I was thinking . Maybe what Sister Hua said was right . If you couldn't believe in yourself, how could you get what you wanted, especially from your own mind?

“S¬¬o what do we do now?” I asked .

Sister Hua thought silently for a moment and then replied, “The best way is for us to get into his illusion, too . Whether it is to find his obsession or break his resentment, it'll be very easy . After all, that's the only way we can know what's going on with him . But . . . ”

“But what?”

“But if we can't solve it, we'll get stuck in the illusion and we may never get out again,” Sister Hua said hesitantly .

Huang Xiaolong shrugged and said, “Aren't we stuck now anyway?”

I nodded and asked the long shirt man what he thought . This time, he agreed with Sister Hua . Everyone had searched the whole hall countless times . There was obviously no place to get out .

“OK . That's settled,” I said firmly, “I'll be the first one . ”

Since the decision had been made, there was no difference between who was first and who was last . However, I was stopped by Sister Hua, because she thought that once I entered the illusion, I wouldn't have the ability to protect myself . Therefore, I went ahead in middle place .

Sister Hua went first . She walked over and looked at the crevice of the crystal coffin . Then she appeared just like Wu Jian and the mysterious man, standing without any reaction . Next was the long shirt man and then me .

Although I'd made the decision to go ahead, I was still very nervous when it was my turn . After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, I walked slowly towards the crystal coffin .

White fog was still overflowing from the coffin, slowly melting away all the remaining black spots . I estimated that in less than half an hour, the long shirt man's great skill would be cleared away completely . However, it took the white fog a long time to erase the other black spots . It seemed that although its ability was more powerful than the long shirt man's, it was still not extremely powerful, which gave me a lot of comfort .

When I came to the crystal coffin, I first looked around at all the people who were motionless . Then I took a deep breath, made a motion as if I was about to dive, and looked down at the crevice of the crystal coffin .

I was completely astonished, because beneath the crack was a magnificent complex of ancient buildings . The crystal coffin was like a television in which I could even see the hallway of the buildings and the people walking through them . However, the crevice was too small to see the entirety of the ancient buildings . When I about to tell Yan'er about what I was seeing, my vision suddenly went dark .

After dealing with a dizzy head for a few moments, I found that I was standing next to a huge city wall with a huge gate nearly 6 meters wide . Innumerable people, dressed in coarse cloth, were passing through the gates . I was disoriented by the loud noises all around me .

I looked down subconsciously and found that I was still wearing my normal clothes, but nobody paid attention to me . I tried to greet an old man who was less than one meter away . However, the old man did not react and continued to count the copper cash in his hand as if I did not exist at all .

I took a long breath . I got the impression that I traveled to another era .

I looked around but couldn't even see Sister Hua, let alone Wu Jian . Since no one could see or hear me, I began to loudly shout for Sister Hua and Wu Jian, but even though I shouted until my throat grew sore, I didn't get any response .

How strange! I realized that everyone must have appeared in different places . Otherwise, after such a long time, Yan'er and Xiao Lingdang should have appeared where I was .

After thinking about this for a while, I slowly walked through the gates along with the flow of people .

The guards of the gates were searching the people entering the city, but they couldn't see me so I walked through easily . When I passed the guards, I curiously pulled on their clothing that looked like leather armor . However, the reaction was not what I expected .

My hand didn't go straight through the guard's clothing . It actually made contact with the cloth . I felt its texture on my fingers, and to my horror, the guard seemed to feel my movements . First, he looked towards me strangely, then he muttered and began to straighten his clothing .

I was totally scared . I stood frozen and didn't dare to move until I was certain that the guard couldn't suddenly see me .

I was so nervous that my heart pounded and my whole body felt soft .

Was this the illusion? Where was I between illusion and reality?

While I was thinking about this, I suddenly felt a huge force hit my shoulder, almost knocking me to the ground .
