The shopkeeper didn't quite understand what Helian Weiwei meant by those words, but he had already decided to let them play this room again, so whatever Helian Weiwei said now didn't really matter anymore.

The shopkeeper put a walkie-talkie and some eye masks and put them in Helian Weiwei's hands. "I will open the door of the Sobbing House later and bring all of you in. During this time, all of you must wear these eye masks, and everyone must place a hand on the shoulder of the person in front of you. You can only open your eyes after I say so. After you get into the room, you can ask for help via the walkie-talkie if you can't get the answer or you need any hints."

"Okay." Helian Weiwei counted the masks and there were six in total. She used her chin to point at Baili Jiajue. "I just need five, he's not going in."

Baili Jiajue had been standing to one side all this while and his eyes trembled a little before he curled his thin lips. "Is this my Master's orders?"

His smile was very cold.

It was as if he was unhappy.

Unhappy?

Helian Weiwei was stunned and told herself that they must not create any further misunderstandings.

They had to speak properly to one another.

"It's not an order." Helian Weiwei said with hesitation. "It's just that your identity makes it inappropriate for you to come in with us."

When the four graduate students heard this, they looked at Helian Weiwei with some displeasure in their eyes, as if they were felt that she was old fashioned for classifying others by their identities.

But Baili Jiajue knew what she really meant. After being taken aback for a few moments, he broke into a real smile. "I can go in by myself, then the rest of you can come in after that."

"By yourself?!" the shopkeeper shouted. "No! That's too dangerous!"

The other four were also worried about letting this beautiful youth go in first.

"If you're not afraid and you want to go in with us, then let's go in together. Why do we have to go in separate groups? You don't always have to listen to everything your boss says."

It was very obvious that Xiao Jingtian's words were meant for Helian Weiwei. She had never seen a boss treat her employees like that before.

Although she admired this exorcist very much, she didn't like her because she felt that Helian Weiwei was too utilitarian in the way she did things, and she also seemed to see only the dark side of human nature.

She felt that she would naturally always disagree with such a person.

Helian Weiwei never liked to explain things, especially to outsiders. She just smiled and didn't pay attention to Xiao Jingtian's words, but turned her head and said to Baili Jiajue, "Jue, we'll go with what you said, so you go in first."

"Okay." Baili Jiajue laughed softly, then took a step forward and grasped the iron lock with his black gloved hand. With a move of his finger, the wooden door to the room immediately opened.

No one knew how he managed to open that lock. Even the shopkeeper was stunned as he held the keys in his hand. He had installed two locks on this door!

"Wait a minute," Xiao Jingtian called out to Baili Jiajue. "Do you really want to go in first? It's very dangerous inside! Also, you have to cover your eyes. What if you encounter something?"

Baili Jiajue didn't answer her words, neither did he ask for an eye mask. Instead, he took out a black handkerchief from the pocket of his jacket and casually tied it behind his head. After his eyes were covered, the other exquisite features left uncovered made anyone who saw them feel their hearts start racing.

A smile remained on his face, since he was the only one who understood that Helian Weiwei didn't want him to go in with them in order to protect him.

Once that Pure Yang Formation was formed and he came in behind them, he would either destroy the effect of the formation, or he would be affected by the Yang energy and feel discomfort.

Was she treating him the same way she treated little devils?

Tsk.

Her cautiousness around him was so adorable.

Helian Weiwei had a strange feeling that Balil Jiajue was in a very good mood. She shot him a glance. "After going in, find a place to hide first."

"Yes, my respected Master." He was right - she was afraid that the formation might hurt him. It seemed like it was useful to remain in this state after all, since it made her always think of him. Baili Jiajue curled his lips and slowly walked into the unknown darkness.

Xiao Jingtian simply didn't expect him to be such a loyal subordinate. She glanced at Helian Weiwei and shook her head.

The shopkeeper was still very worried. "Is he really going to be okay?"

"Don't worry, my assistant is very powerful." Helian Weiwei smiled lightly and put on the eye mask. But she suddenly remembered something and took it off again. "By the way, the four of them said that when they came the last time, the heard the sound of a woman crying. Is that a sound effect you installed or is it something that only these four heard?"

The shopkeeper replied, "Oh that. It's a sound effect, there's nothing special about it."

"Ok." Helian Weiwei put on the eye mask again and didn't beat around the bush. "We'll go in now."

The other four were not like Helian Weiwei, and they were al very highly strung and nervous. They weren't keen on revisiting that scene again.

But there was no other way. This matter had to be resolved.

Because if it wasn't resolved...

They..

...would be killed!

Kacha!

There was the sound of a lock, then a female voice started speaking.

The voice was clearly coming from the speakers.

"Hmm? The last time all of you came, there were six of you. Why are there only five of you now? You're missing that girl. Where did she go?"

Girl? Helian Weiwei immediately took off her eye mask. What greeted her eyes was a piece of clothing hanging above her head. It floated back and forth, like a female ghost.

However, she wasn't concerned with this. She was concerned with the backstory of this room.

The other four had done this before, so they knew how to solve the clues in the room. They ran to the lock at the side and said, "Hurry up and unlock this!"

"Wait, let me finish listening to the backstory first." Helian Weiwei pricked up her ears.

The woman's voice continued, "One of you is missing. Didn't you notice? Aha, I see her now, she's waiting in the underworld for all of you. If you want to escape this curse, then you'd better think carefully about what sin you have committed before. Was it indifference? Selfishness? Or pride? All the answers are within this room and you must find the answer before midnight in order to atone for your sins. Otherwise, there will only be one ending, and that is...death."

The recording made everyone's hair stand on end.

One of the girls had already turned pale. "Don't listen to it anymore! Hurry up and open the first lock according to the password you calculated before!"

"What was the password for the first lock? Do you still remember?" Xiao Jingtian turned around and looked at her classmates.

No one could tell her the answer.

Because they suddenly remembered that the person who had opened the first lock was the deceased Zhang Heng!
