After arriving in City S, Xu Fang took advantage of the opportunity when the plane's landing gear compartment was open and jumped directly from the plane, gliding down from the high altitude using the initial speed, and parachuting into the headquarters of the Ju Chuan Group.

Coincidentally, at that moment, Luobing's strange incident had just begun, so Xu Fang, as the author, also got involved.

Due to the mysterious incident, Xu Fang couldn't access the Horror Novel Web. However, he had the life-saving item "Night Voucher" on him, so if the situation became critical, Xu Fang could terminate the mysterious incident at any time.

After putting the unconscious Luobing back on the chair, Xu Fang took a few steps back and carefully observed the conference room.

A black elliptical table occupied half of the space, extending all the way to the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside the window, dark clouds covered the sky, blocking the sunlight. The room was covered with ominous gray tiles, and just stepping on them made one feel danger.

The eerie plaster statues were distributed on both sides of the long table, staring at Xu Fang in unison. The air was silent, and the only sound of breathing in the spacious conference room came from Luobing, the only living person.

There were 20 plaster statues in total, with ten on each side, visibly symmetrical. Not only that, the entire conference room was symmetrical. The floor-to-ceiling window was symmetrical, the potted plants on the left and right were symmetrical, the ceiling lights were symmetrical, and even Luobing happened to be in the center.

The overall layout had an indescribable sense of eerie beauty; it probably satisfied those with OCD. If it weren't for these plaster statues...

While observing the room, Xu Fang's peripheral vision never left those plaster statues.

In the eyes of the demon, there was a black mist inside each plaster statue. The black mist was composed of black dots - this was the fourth color of light dots Xu Fang had seen, after white, gray, and gold. Unlike the mist in the gray space, the black dots gave Xu Fang a sense of danger.

Although Xu Fang was not afraid of these ghosts, he still needed to be cautious. He didn't know if the demon could harm ghosts, but if it couldn't, he would be no different from an ordinary person in front of the ghosts.

Since that's the case, let's do a small test. With the life-saving item in hand, Xu Fang's actions became much bolder.

He picked up the cup on the table, absorbed the heat energy from the water in the cup, froze the water inside it, and then, under the protection of the energy shield, threw it out at a speed of nearly 300 meters per second.

The cup easily pierced through the head of a plaster statue, and the powerful impact blasted the plaster head into a pile of debris. The plaster body of the statue, along with the chair, flew backward and rolled on the ground in circles.

It seemed that the material of the plaster statue was the same as real plaster, with a hardness of only 2, unable to withstand violence.

Xu Fang stared at the fallen plaster statue, observing if it would change.

The black mist still lingered in the plaster and did not dissipate, and the fallen pieces of plaster were also scattered with a small amount of black mist. Its overall volume did not decrease; physical attacks seemed to be ineffective against it.

With a thought, a large number of white dots gathered on the fallen plaster statue. Soon, the air around the plaster began to distort, and the temperature gradually rose. Just as Xu Fang was about to melt this annoying calcium sulfate pile, his vision suddenly darkened, and his peripheral vision caught a very fast black shadow.

He reacted quickly and immediately launched an attack on the shadow using the dots of light. The energy penetrated the shadow, but it didn't seem to cause any damage. The shadow disappeared into the conference room wall and disappeared from sight, and Xu Fang's vision returned to normal.

Xu Fang shifted his gaze back to the plaster, but... something had changed.

The plaster that had been shattered just now actually returned to its original state and sat back on the chair at the conference table. Xu Fang had only shifted his gaze away for a fraction of a second.

Even the cup that Xu Fang had broken returned to its original state and was placed in front of Luobing again, filled with warm water.

The 20 plaster statues stared coldly at Xu Fang, their gaze devoid of any emotion, sending chills down one's spine.

A timid person would probably have fled long ago or been frightened to the point of collapse.

Xu Fang, on the other hand, felt no fear. He stared back at the plaster statues with a cold gaze, while contemplating his strategy.

Modify memories?

Altering memories and time is a common trick in mysterious events. Novices often overlook whether their own memories have been tampered with. But to completely deceive Xu Fang, one would need a complete overhaul of his memories. Otherwise, even the slightest logical error or gap in his memory would raise Xu Fang's suspicion. So it's unlikely that the plaster statues would modify memories, but Xu Fang still retained this suspicion.So, can mysterious events be solved by violence?

Gussy has two abilities, one is the material-based "energy perception" and the other is the consciousness-based "mind perception". Perhaps the second ability is the nemesis of ghosts?

But Xu Fang has no intention of enhancing the second ability. Material and consciousness are Gussy's two evolutionary directions, and they conflict with each other. Although both directions are strong when evolved to the extreme, considering versatility, energy perception is far stronger than mind perception.

There must be other ways to deal with ghosts, and ordinary people can also do it. There are no unsolvable mysterious events, as long as you observe carefully, you will always find a way out.

Listening to the sound of Luo Bing's breathing, Xu Fang made a decision. He went behind Luo Bing and activated his energy shield, lifting Luo Bing along with the chair. He then slowly retreated, keeping his eyes on the plaster statue the whole time.

Xu Fang didn't take his eyes off the plaster until he reached the door behind him (the back door was also symmetrical, the only exit of the conference room), and used his back to push open the door. After completely exiting the conference room, he quickly closed the door, blocking the view of the plaster statue.

Even though they have left the conference room, the mysterious event is still not over, which means Xu Fang has not found the key to solve it.

Outside the conference room is a public area, about 80 square meters with windows on the left and right. It is still overcast outside the windows, and there are several recliners under the windows. In the middle directly opposite is an elevator, and the entrances to the stairs are distributed symmetrically on both sides of the elevator.

It is still a mysterious symmetry. It seems that the designer of this building is a super perfectionist.

It is worth noting that the floor tiles here are confident white. Xu Fang couldn't help but think of the ghost exam in the Resented Spirit Test Hall, where the tiles in the "waiting room" were also white. White tiles represent safety, while gray represents danger.

Xu Fang came to Luo Bing, who was lying on the chair, and patted his face. "Wake up, don't sleep."

"Ah...ah...uh!"

Luo Bing, who was suddenly touched, trembled and his body leaned back, emitting an exaggerated scream, then he was forcibly covered his mouth. After a few seconds, Xu Fang let go of his hand, and Luo Bing calmed down, but still looked bewildered.

Luo Bing remembered that he was in the conference room just now. How did he end up in this place after waking up?

"Tell me, what's your name? Why are you here?" Xu Fang didn't waste time chatting with this man, and asked directly.

Realizing that the person in front of him is a human who can communicate and not some kind of monster, Luo Bing breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm Luo Bing. I don't know why I'm here either... Thank goodness, I'm not alone... Who are you? Have we met before? Did you see a bunch of terrifying plaster monsters?"

Luo Bing asked a series of questions while observing the other person.

The little guy in front of him was short, about the same height as Luo Bing when sitting, wearing a strange black cloak and a hood. Although Luo Bing couldn't see the other person's face (the black cloak had a special effect), judging from the slender figure and the small round-toed shoes, it was probably a little girl. Even without looking at appearance, just listening to the voice, it was easy to come to this conclusion.

Could it be a child of one of the employees? No, the company regulations don't allow bringing children, so where did this child come from? How did she end up here... Wait!

A terrible thought suddenly came to Luo Bing's mind.

When she slapped my face just now, her hands were so cold, like a corpse... Could it be... she, she is a ghost?

Luo Bing quickly stood up, looked around for an escape route, distanced herself from Xu Fang, and took out her phone, intending to call the police.

"No signal, this is not the real world. And besides, I'm not a ghost, don't be afraid."

"Who...who are you exactly?" Luo Bing forced a smile. Indeed, her phone had no signal, as the other person had said.

"You can call me Gu Xi. I'm a magical girl, and my profession is to eliminate ghosts and monsters." Xu Fang pointed to himself, speaking seriously but uttering nonsense.

Although ghosts may not know him, Xu Fang wouldn't reveal his name, as it could expose his weakness, which is not conducive to his plan.

"You...did you come to save me?" Luo Bing seemed somewhat incredulous. "Was someone sent to protect me?""No, I came here just to kill ghosts."

"Can you really get rid of those scary monsters?"

Luobing automatically ignored the denial and felt a mixture of excitement and doubt. "But my dad used to spend a lot of money inviting high-ranking monks to the temple and buying many talismans, but it didn't work! You can't get rid of ghosts, once they find you, it's all a matter of luck whether you can survive or not."

"From what you're saying, have you experienced such things before?"

"Well, about ten years ago, when I was still in high school, I encountered a similar situation. I was inexplicably transported to another world, a deserted village inhabited by strange people. In fact, everyone in the village was a monster! In the end, even the high-ranking monk my father hired was killed by ghosts. Thanks to my father finding an escape route, I managed to survive..."

After saying so much in one breath, Luobing felt stupid. Would the child even understand what he was talking about?

Luobing instinctively thought that he had met someone with a juvenile delusion.

"Can you describe in detail what happened?" Xu Fang asked.

"It's better if a young girl like you doesn't know too much. Now, let's go, Gu Xi, right? Follow big brother and let's go down the stairs. Maybe we can see other adults." Luobing pointed to the stairs on the side, intending to leave this place quickly.

Xu Fang tilted her head, realizing that the man didn't believe in her superpowers. It was understandable, if a white-bearded Taoist stood in front of Luobing, he might have believed immediately.

Under Luobing's puzzled gaze, Xu Fang slowly reached out her hand and snapped her fingers.

Snap -

The chair Luobing had just sat on burst into flames instantly. After burning a small portion of the leather and sponge, the flames silently went out. The whole process took only a few seconds.

There was a burnt smell in the air.

Luobing looked at Xu Fang, then at the chair, stunned.

"This is my magic," Xu Fang said. "In a way, I'm not so different from the monsters you mentioned... I really need the information you have. Can you tell me what you know now?"

Luobing took ten seconds to recover from his astonishment, and then he accepted this fact - it seemed that this guy wasn't delusional, he really had superpowers!

"... Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything... But can you protect me and help me leave this place?" Luobing felt a sense of relief, feeling like he had found a way out, but he still had some concerns. He asked, "Can you also ensure that I won't get hurt during the process? I'm afraid of pain."

"I'll do my best."

"What if I tell you, will you just abandon me?"

"I won't."

"What if we encounter a ghost that even you can't handle, will you abandon me?"

"Do you want some fire?"

"That thing has to start with my dad having an affair..."
