Chapter 19: What Exactly Is Happening Now?
The wind whistled as it swept through the rows of tombstones, filled with terrifying howls and deep, guttural moans. Ya felt like she could hear countless people weeping—the whimpering cries drilled straight into her brain.
She regretted it completely.
She should never have come up with this idea!
It hit her all of a sudden: this was a cemetery, and the evil spirits here were probably more than just one!
Maybe each of these spirits wasn't as powerful on their own as the others, but there were just too damn many of them!
She froze in place and looked back over her shoulder.
She regretted it—she regretted this whole plan.
She needed to get back to Jiang Che—now!
The weeping in her ears just kept getting louder, piercing straight into her head, stabbing at her nerves. That pain, spreading from inside her brain, was suffocating, her heart pounding, breath caught in her throat—like her soul was being torn away.
"Jiang Che!" Ya called out, turning back, but now her vision was going blurry. The tombstones around her doubled and multiplied, and she could see a faint little figure walking toward her, step by step.
Screaming was the secret signal she and Jiang Che had agreed on.
Once she screamed, Jiang Che had to act—no hesitation!
They'd considered using a subtler signal, but in the end Ya insisted—just scream.
She'd watched a ton of Dungeon videos and guides. She knew that screaming was the most ordinary thing in a Dungeon, and honestly, the louder you screamed, the more excited the ghosts got.
If they tried to be sneaky, it might just make the spirits even more wary.
