"Ruyan is trapped!"

Cao Yaxuan and Han Zhixiu said in unison.

In the tenth-floor corridor, Xu Lang and the others exchanged glances.

Inside the Dorm 200 small group chat, Xu Ruyan was rapidly recounting her encounter.

Currently, she was trapped in an alternate dimension.

A mirror-like woman was relentlessly hunting her.

This woman would revive every time she was killed, making her extremely troublesome.

Moreover, Xu Ruyan suspected this was a ghost.

"This ghost is very powerful!" Tong Qi licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with light.

And it's a female ghost too... Xu Lang silently added.

He wondered if she had a Comfort Level.

"I didn't expect Dahai to be there too. This counts as dragging Ruyan down, right?" Sherry said with a bitter smile.

"To be precise, it's Ruyan who dragged Zhang Dahai down," Zhen Lu chuckled. "Zhang Dahai was hiding just fine, but Ruyan got him exposed."

No one was particularly worried about Xu Ruyan's situation.

The Homeward Mirror had an extremely high grade. It could function even within the Blood Mist World, let alone within a Safe Zone.

Restrictions within Safe Zones were minimal. Functions like chatting, the Trading Network, and trading were all extremely buggy.

"Xu Lang, should we go rescue Ruyan?" Cao Yaxuan looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Why not just go all-out against Twilight Building? They don't seem that strong to me."

"Not yet," Xu Lang shook his head, reaching his hand out toward the void. "Let me see if this move can work."

...

"Hmm!?"

In Twilight Building, Madame Eight Chi took out the Malignance Demon Box, her beautiful eyes becoming filled with interest.

The Malignance Demon Box was slowly fading.

"What is this?" White Crow asked, having appeared beside Madame Eight Chi at some point.

"Don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing," Madame Eight Chi realized something, her crude red lips slowly curling upward.

A trap? Is the effect surveillance or destruction?

The next second.

A stream of black aura emerged from Madame Eight Chi's hand, layer upon layer wrapping around the Malignance Demon Box.

The Malignance Demon Box's fading slowed but did not stop!

"If I can't have it, destroy it!" Madame Eight Chi's large hand suddenly clenched tight! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

If a Tale Curio was destroyed, it would revive within Xu Lang's body.

This thing couldn't even be completely killed by Purgatory March, let alone by Madame Eight Chi.

However, if it really got smashed, recovery would still take time.

Boom~!!!

The Tale Demon Box suddenly trembled, and a phantom of a horned evil ghost appeared.

Holding a table knife, he viciously swung at Madame Eight Chi: "You look delicious!!!"

Spatial Slash!

Madame Eight Chi was too close to dodge. Her body was instantly sliced in two!

Even though her defense could withstand missile strikes, it couldn't block this space-tearing slash!

The Gluttony Demon succeeded with one strike, but before he could continue his rampage, the Malignance Demon Box vanished into thin air.

"Damn it damn it damn it!!!" Fleshy sprouts grew from Madame Eight Chi's shattered body, rapidly merging together. Her expression was furious and terrifying, her aura shaking the floor.

"Hah! Indeed not an ordinary fellow!" White Crow stared at the spot where the Malignance Demon Box disappeared and sneered.

In battles between High-Level Players, besides stats, mechanisms also mattered.

Some were invincible due to mechanisms, some were invincible due to stats. Who was stronger or weaker was hard to say.

...

Cao Yaxuan and the other women saw Xu Lang stretch his hand toward the void, pause for a moment, and then the Malignance Demon Box appeared.

"You!" The Gluttony Demon angrily pointed at Xu Lang. "I haven't eaten anything yet!"

Xu Lang ignored him completely. With a thought, the Gluttony Demon shrank back into the Malignance Demon Box.

"Arghhhh!"

The women could faintly hear the Gluttony Demon's furious roar.

Clearly, even Tales couldn't stand the cold shoulder.

"I'll send the demon box to Ruyan now, see if I can bring Dahai out too," Xu Lang said, pouring all his Spiritual Energy and stamina into the Malignance Demon Box.

Instantly, the Malignance Demon Box's malevolent aura surged dramatically, emitting billowing black smoke.

Other players in the same corridor saw this, their expressions turning horrified, a vague sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.

...

Xu Ruyan and Zhang Dahai were rapidly moving through a mirror world.

However, no matter where they fled or how fast they ran, mirror-like women holding sharp knives kept emerging from mirrors all around them!

Endless to kill!

"Sister Ruyan, what's wrong?" Zhang Dahai killed two mirror women with his hand crossbow. Seeing Xu Ruyan suddenly freeze, he anxiously asked.

Xu Ruyan was much stronger than him in direct combat.

Without her leading, he wouldn't last long.

"I'm fine..." Xu Ruyan hadn't finished speaking when she suddenly covered her stomach and began dry heaving.

A demon box emitting black aura was vomited out, held in her hands.

"Is this a ghost object!? Sister Ruyan, you've been cursed!" Zhang Dahai's face changed drastically. A demon-slaying dagger appeared in his hand. He was about to strike when Xu Ruyan stopped him.

"This is Xu Lang's prop," Xu Ruyan shook her head, feeling her throat was very uncomfortable. "Couldn't it come out from somewhere else?"

A voice came from the Malignance Demon Box: "I was in a bit of a hurry, sorry."

It was Lang Ge's voice!

Zhang Dahai's eyes widened. Seeing two mirror women approaching, he quickly kicked them away and shouted, "Lang Ge, save me!"

"Hold on a little longer. Also, let my Malignance Demon Box lock onto you for a while longer, don't resist," Xu Lang felt a headache coming.

The Malignance Demon Box hadn't truly matured yet. It couldn't directly swallow Zhang Dahai; it needed the curse to accumulate further.

Xu Ruyan's curse was already maxed out, which was why the Malignance Demon Box could appear directly on her.

"Okay!" Zhang Dahai was overjoyed.

With Lang Ge here, it's stable, stable!

Not to mention Xu Lang personally said so. Even if it was just a glimpse of Xu Lang's back, he would feel incredibly reassured.

We revere you, Lang Ge!

...

White Crow saw the woman with misplaced facial features suddenly appear. After bidding farewell, he left Madame Eight Chi's line of sight.

"Mirror Ghost, what's wrong?" White Crow asked.

Mirror Ghost lifted the hem of her clothes, revealing a scene appearing on her mirror-like abdomen.

It was the mirror world.

"Why is this box here?!" White Crow saw the Malignance Demon Box and his mind went momentarily blank.

Immediately, he took out three disposable buff items and handed them to Mirror Ghost.

"Use them all. Kill these two at your fastest speed!"

Mirror Ghost's misplaced facial features twisted violently.

These disposable buff items could be stacked, but they came with severe side effects.

"Hmm?" White Crow lightly snorted.

Mirror Ghost trembled and hurriedly used all the items.

White Crow stared intently at the mirror world. Inside, the Mirror Ghost projections suddenly multiplied several times over, all charging toward Xu Ruyan and the other.

He felt somewhat satisfied, but before Mirror Ghost could deliver the result, the Malignance Demon Box suddenly opened wide. A flood of black rats poured out, and the Red-Haired Grandma trio also emerged from within.

Finally, the Gluttony Demon they had seen earlier!

"These monsters are... Tales!!!" White Crow suddenly realized with a start, stumbling back several steps.

What are the Tale rules?!

Have I been infected?!

Probably not!

I haven't been attacked or touched anything I shouldn't have from start to finish.

His face turned black then green. Then, hardening his resolve, he took out a yellow pill and handed it to Mirror Ghost. "Take it!"

"I... I might die!" Blood flowed from Mirror Ghost's misplaced facial features, her voice wretched.

"I'll save you... Just kill these two, and I'll let you see your son," White Crow said coldly.

Mirror Ghost immediately grabbed the yellow pill and was about to put it into the mouth on her forehead when White Crow suddenly grabbed her pale hand, his expression ugly as he stared at the mirror world. "Never mind!"

Inside the mirror world, the Malignance Demon Box had already disappeared. Xu Ruyan and Zhang Dahai's figures were also fading!
