The three of them formed a triangle with their backs against each other. They barely had any time to react before Lo Bing and Bai Wenqiu spotted a plaster figure each in their line of sight.

They didn't even observe how the plaster figures appeared, but when they came to their senses, they found the plaster figures already standing there.

Under the cold lights, the plaster figures reflected an expressionless look. No one knew what they would do next.

In the eyes of others, the plaster figures appeared calm, but in Xu Fang's vision, the black mist inside the plaster was boiling. It roiled on the surface of the plaster, as if it could explode at any moment.

Lo Bing and Bai Wenqiu dared not look away, knowing that they might lose their lives by blinking in such a moment.

"Gu Xi, I see a plaster monster in my line of sight!"

"I see one too!"

"Are you sure it's only one?"

"Positive!" they said in unison.

"I understand."

"What should we do? Our line of sight has blind spots above, we can't see them."

"Don't worry, you don't need to worry about above. There are no blind spots now." Xu Fang's voice was calm, without any fluctuations even in this critical situation.

If Lo Bing turned around to look at Xu Fang, he would probably be startled. At this moment, Xu Fang's right hand was raised high, holding an eyeball inside. The eyeball stared blankly at the two plaster figures hanging upside down at the top. The eyeball emitted white light spots, but new light spots kept entering the eyeball from Xu Fang's right hand to maintain balance.

As long as the eyeball didn't disperse, new eyeballs wouldn't grow. In other words, Xu Fang could only have two eyes at most now. It was a pity that Gussy's evolution ability was locked by the novel website, otherwise Xu Fang would have grown eyes all over his body and could have a 360-degree view with no blind spots.

...

"Gu Xi, can we leave here quickly? My eyes are starting to sting." Bai Wenqiu trembled.

"Slowly move towards the exit, keep your body steady, don't turn your head or move your body, and let me know when the plaster is at the edge of your sight. If you want to blink, tell me too!"

There were two above and eight in front. Lo Bing and Bai Wenqiu each stared at one, but where were the remaining eight plaster figures? Were they planning to ambush from elsewhere?

The three of them slowly moved closer to the "exit", step by step.

The twelve plaster figures being watched by their line of sight didn't move. They seemed to be waiting for the moment Xu Fang and the others blinked.

When they were only ten meters away from the gate, Lo Bing suddenly felt a sting in his eyes, and cold sweat dripped into his eyes somehow. His eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably, distorting his expression.

"Uh-oh! Can't hold it anymore. My eyes... Itchy, I need to blink!!"

When Bai Wenqiu heard this from behind, her expression changed and her heart sank.

Just as Lo Bing was about to blink, Xu Fang decisively launched an energy attack on all the plaster figures in his line of sight.

"Bang!!!"

There were several loud noises around, but because the intervals were too short, it sounded like only one. Pieces of white debris flew. The intense explosion completely shattered the tranquility of the symmetrical world.

Indeed, white light spots had a destructive effect on the black light spots. Once Xu Fang realized this, he no longer hesitated in using his energy. Before all the fragments fell, he immediately launched a second attack on the black mist freed from the plaster fragments.

The black mist seemed to have its own consciousness. It realized that it was more dangerous to remain attached to the plaster, so it detached from the plaster and drifted into the air. The black mist could move within the line of sight, but its speed was slow enough to be treated as a living target.

In order to initiate an explosion in the air, a large amount of white light spots needed to gather, which meant that Xu Fang needed to consume more energy to harm them. The light spots that were not in an explosive state could not harm the black mist.

(Good, although it's a bit troublesome, I already know your weakness.)

Xu Fang didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the scenery in front of him became somewhat unreal, as if it was a sign of detaching from reality.

White light spots danced in the air, and the temperature in the air had already risen to 50 degrees. Some of the plaster at the center of the explosion had melted. Just as Xu Fang was about to clean up the last batch of black mist, he noticed that Lo Bing, Bai Wenqiu, and the others had already reached the exit.It has only been two or three seconds since Xu Fang launched his attack. They were almost frightened out of their wits, and all they could think of now was to escape! Get out of this damn place as quickly as possible!

"Don't..."

Xu Fang wanted to speak up to stop Luo Bing, but he was still a step too slow.

The door opened.

The world fell silent.

This "exit" did lead to an exit, but only the "symmetrical person" could open it and leave the real world. If anyone else pushed open this door, it would trigger the final mechanism here.

The red floor vanished, and so did the door.

Luo Bing felt weightless, with his feet suspended in mid-air. Then his breath was cut off, and he felt a tight pain in his neck. He instinctively kicked his legs and reached out desperately to grab the rope that was choking him, but it was useless—the more he struggled, the tighter the rope became. He opened his mouth wide, trying to call for help, but no sound came out.

Am I going to die? Am I going to be a hanging ghost?

Help me... Please save me!!

...

Thanks to Luo Bing's help, Xu Fang was also hanging in the air. The part of his skin that came into contact with the rope couldn't generate the energy shield. And all the energy in his body was suppressed, leaving Xu Fang feeling completely powerless.

The strange black dots again... The rope was made up of pure black dots. For ordinary people, it would be an unremovable hanging rope. Fortunately, the density of the black dots was not high, so Xu Fang still had some strength to struggle.

It took him nearly 10% of his energy to shatter the rope.

Regaining his freedom, Xu Fang somersaulted in the air, and quickly compressed himself before flying toward Luo Bing's position.

He found Luo Bing, but where did Bai Wenqiu go? He could still see her just now... Forget it, save Luo Bing first.

Using the same method, Xu Fang broke the rope and slowly descended while holding the unconscious Luo Bing. Bai Wenqiu was missing, and even with the Demon's Eye, he couldn't find her.

When Luo Bing triggered some mechanism just now, everyone seemed to have been transported to another space. This space was incredibly vast, and they had to descend several tens of meters before landing on the ground.

The floor was still blood red, and the sense of crisis grew stronger.

Luo Bing had lost consciousness. Xu Fang laid him down on the ground, took off his own suit jacket and used it as a pillow for Luo Bing's head, then checked his heartbeat and breathing.

(They seem normal. Otherwise, I would have to perform CPR.)

The black dots on the rope not only restrained Gussy, but also caused great harm to ordinary people's bodies, accelerating the death of those who were hanged. If Xu Fang had been any later, Luo Bing would probably be a lifeless body by now.

Bai Wenqiu... She has probably already been killed. Xu Fang wanted to take out his mobile phone to check the time.

But...

As if unwilling to give Xu Fang any time, the remaining eight plaster figures that had not appeared earlier launched a second attack. They teleported behind Xu Fang, and the black mist turned into blades and stabbed towards him.

The moment the black mist touched Xu Fang's body, it was struck by a surge of energy, and all the plaster figures were blasted into pieces.

(Just because I can't see you doesn't mean I can't attack you.)

Xu Fang narrowed one eye to watch Luo Bing, while the other eye searched for and cleared the black mist.

The situation was almost completely one-sided, Gussy could easily sweep through this symmetrical world since the ghosts here were no match for it. However, just as Xu Fang was about to eliminate the last patch of black mist, the world before him began to distort, and cracks appeared at the edges of his vision.

"Haha, didn't expect to fall into our trap?" the barely surviving black mist unexpectedly spoke in a hoarse voice. "You thought we were dead, but in the next cycle, we will revive again, and you will never come back. Hehe, we deliberately let you kill us."

"Are you the ghost that's been haunting the Luo family?"

"What are you talking about? Are you trying to spare me some time? Hahaha, it's useless. Even if you don't destroy me, I will self-destruct. Leave your companion behind, hahaha..."

"Did you create the Devil's Diary?"

The black mist no longer revealed any information. Instead, it rushed towards Luo Bing.Xu Fang, of course, could not allow it to succeed and let the explosion engulf it directly.

The black mist gradually dissipated in the air, returning to nothingness with its companions. Before dissolving completely, its cold laughter lingered in the ears and echoed in the eternal symmetrical space.

Xu Fang pushed his eyeballs back into their sockets, brushed off the dust from his body, and took out his phone to check the time. Then, he looked towards the direction where the black mist disappeared and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have already found a way out."

At this moment, the time on his phone started to reverse.
