I thought that if there was a way to deal with zombies, it would be much easier from now on. But I was too naive, I actually forgot something very important. And this should have been something I should have noticed from the beginning.

At first, our group was sealed off by Melordo's father using magic, which means that he can manipulate space. Oh my God! How could I forget such an important detail! Even if it was just a regular magic that controls someone's movements, the fact that he sealed off all the other paths in the mansion and I didn't notice, I am such a failure...

And when I realized my mistake, I was already in trouble. Just as I entered the second floor, the surroundings suddenly darkened. When I summoned a fireball to illuminate the area, I found myself in the middle of a cemetery.

I silently put on the Reality Goggles, but even so, the surroundings remained unchanged. That means the scenery around me wasn't an illusion created by the other party. However, this didn't make me happy at all, because I would rather have seen an illusion. That way, I could at least try some special magic and maybe pull myself out of the illusion. But if this wasn't an illusion, then it's troublesome.

For example, being teleported to a place I don't even know, I would be helpless. The only skill I can use, similar to spatial magic, is Blink. But the conditions for using Blink are still unknown to me. I don't even know where I am right now, so if I simply Blink, I have no idea where I would be transported to.

However, I discovered something even more terrible. It suddenly looked like night even though it was daytime just now. There could only be two possibilities. First, the location I'm in is in the evening time period. Although the Daxin continent is large, it feels like they all exist in the same time period. But since we came from Earth, and Earth is round, it means that where there's daylight, there's also nighttime. Second, I not only got transported to another location, but also jumped through the timeline, so it's now nighttime.

Of course, both of these possibilities are equally annoying and unsettling. But when I looked up at the sky, I realized another possibility. Maybe... I'm not on the surface right now?

I looked up at the sky, and there was nothing there, just complete darkness. And at that moment, I saw a white figure, like a ghost, hiding behind a tombstone. When it saw me looking, it trembled and quickly fled in a direction.

"A ghost? Is this some kind of desolate wilderness? Can even souls manifest here?"

Generally, ghosts wouldn't appear unless someone summoned them, especially not in the city. But there is an exception, which is in desolate and abandoned places. Sometimes, there are ghosts that refuse to descend into the abyss and remain in the human world for various reasons.

I locked onto that ghost and quickly followed it. It's not because of curiosity, but mainly because this place is a wasteland, and I have no idea where to go. Now that something movable appeared in front of me, of course, I have to follow it.

However, I noticed something, the names on the tombstones around me.

Those names... they look like names from the Eastern Continent, not names from the Western Continent.

Could it be that I have been transported to some strange place in the Eastern Continent?

I followed the wandering spirits for a long time, and finally, the surroundings were no longer desolate land, but a small road paved with blue stones.

I lowered my head and touched the stone on the ground, it was chilling, just like touching ice directly.

Looking along the road, there seemed to be something emitting blue light in the distance. As I approached, I could see stone lanterns emitting blue light by the side of the road.

I have indeed seen similar stone lanterns a long time ago, they feel just like those in ancient gardens.

"Could it be that I have crossed over?"

I forced a wry smile and shook my head.

"How is that possible."

"What is so impossible?"

Suddenly, a child's voice came from behind me. I quickly turned around and saw a little girl in a blue cheongsam sitting on top of a stone lantern behind me.

With her red makeup and buns, it made me feel like I was seeing a ghost for a moment.

But thinking about it, seeing a ghost is also normal. I just saw wandering spirits earlier, so it's normal to see ghosts now.

"Little girl, who are you?"

"Hmph, how dare you ask who I am in my territory? Besides... I'm not a little girl, actually, it's more fitting for me to call you little sister."

The little girl smiled and said, then she jumped off the stone lantern and walked up to me.

However, after getting closer, she took a step back... probably because of the height difference but didn't want to look up.

"Cough cough, why are you here? Clearly, you have a female body, but you have a male soul, and your body is filled with yang energy that scares away living beings, seriously affecting the order of hell."

"Hell... I see, I've been sent to hell."

"Eh, are you exiled to this place? If that's the case... ah!"

The other party seemed to have figured out something, and regardless of the height difference, directly floated in front of me.

That's right, this guy is floating now, and is even floating in midair.

"Could it be that you were suddenly brought to this place from the human world?"

"Yes... yes."

Seeing the other person's panicked expression, I was at a loss for how to react.

"I see, so it's the Yi Yu Jing after all. That book must have ended up in the human world!"

"Um..."

"Oh, I'm sorry, got a little too excited there. You know, when you get older, you tend to get excited about little things."

Is that so? Why have I never heard of it? Maybe it's because extremes beget opposites.

"This is great, if I can find that book, it can solve a lot of problems. Little girl, take me back to where you came from, I must obtain that book by all means!"

"Well, um, I don't really mind, I would be very happy if you could take me back, but, just now I was with my little sister Oyado, my friends Melordo and Aliyah, did you see them?"

"Huh?"

The other person was slightly surprised.

"I see, but I only saw you coming down. Well, it's been a long time since I went to the human world, let's go!"

After saying that, she reached out and grabbed me, and the next second, I realized that we were already back inside the house!

Regarding this, I only have one thing to say.

Master, teach me how to teleport quickly!
