  Jiang g believed he was a normal person, so he decisively gave up on jumping out of the window and instead chose the wardrobe, whi horror movies is known for having a ridiculously high mortality rate. When he reached the wardrobe, he took a deep breath and opehe door.

  Thankfully, no ghosts or anything jumped out.

  He immediately turned around and squeezed inside.

  At the same time, the strange footsteps arrived on the sed floor.

  The two were mere seds apart.

  After calming himself down, Jiang g gradually suppressed his erratic heartbeat. Soon, even his breathiuro normal. He slowly took a breath and then held it in.

  He could hear that after arriving on the sed floor, the frequency of the footsteps suddenly sped up. They first moved in one dire, toward a spot that seemed to be the window.

  The wardrobe door had a small crack, and Jiang g slowly leaned forward and peered outside through one eye.

  He saw a broken figure standing outside, and as he expected, that figure was holding a terrifying rge knife.

  The ghost moved its body, but its speed was surprisingly fast. In a blink of a was at the window.

  The sed, Jiang g's eyes widened.

  He saw the ghost stretch out an arm, exposing its bare bones, and it ripped the window off.

  That's right, it tore it off, as if ripping a poster off the wall.

  The window was fake!

  The ghost seemed to realize its scheme had beehrough, and it let out an angry "huff" before tearing the extremely realistic "window" into pieces.

  Jiang g furrowed his brow and immediately thought of the brushes and other tools on the desk on the sed floor.

  If he remembered correctly, there was also some paper and a pile of small jars with various colors.

  It looked a lot like the paint jars used by eions of artists.

  Even Jiang g, who had a rock-solid mental fortitude, was impressed by this ghost's method. She had actually hand-painted a "windoasted it on the wall.

  This meant that if aried to escape through the window...

  It could lead to extremely terrifying sequences.

  Jiang g even wondered if the ghost would immediately crawl out of the "window."

  Based on his uanding of nightmares, this was entirely possible.

  After tearing apart the "window," the ghost looked around. It thes sights on the very spicuous wardrobe.

  In almost a blink, it appeared in front of the wardrobe.

  Just a thin door separated it from Jiang g.

  Jiang g remained crouched in the crack, watg carefully.

  The ghost swung its arm, and its sharp nails sshed through the air like lightning.

  The force behind it could easily rip off a grown man's head, but it didn't break the thin wardrobe door. It only left a deep scrat it.

  Just as Jiang g had thought.

  The seemingly unreliable wardrobe was, in fact, the only way out.

  It was the terrifying, dense cw marks that made Jiang g decide to believe that the wardrobe was the escape route left by the task.

  From what he observed, although the wardrobe looked flimsy, it was actually quite sturdy. It would be very difficult for a normal person to leave such deep and numerous cw marks on it.

  Therefore, the cw marks could only have bee by the ghost.

  But why did the ghost leave cw marks on it? What was its purpose?

  The first thing that came to Jiang g's mind was that someone might be hiding inside, and the ghost was trying to catd kill that person, which is why it attacked the wardrobe.

  The most important thing was that after tless attacks, the wardrobe hadn't beeroyed.

  What did that mean?

  gratutions to the pyer for finding a safe house, Jiang g's mind quickly fshed those words.

  But after several tasks, Jiang g khat while ghosts represented extreme malice, it didn't mean they were without awareness. They not only ied some of their behaviors from their previous lives, but also carried on their obsessions.

  For example, seeking revenge on those who killed them.

  They could even disguise themselves as teammates iask and trick others intering deadly taboos.

  Pei Qian was a living example of this.

  Jiang g had survived by reag quickly.

  Outside, the ghost was frantically attag the wardrobe, its scarlet eyes hidden in the shadows. Jiang g remained unmoved ihe wardrobe.

  Although nightmares were full of dangers, they still followed certain rules.

  And these rules not only restricted the pyers but also bound the ghosts iask.

  Within the rules, both humans and ghosts could act recklessly.

  For example, right now, Jiang g had found the escape route left iask and hid in the wardrobe, which was a safe house. Acc to the rules, the ghost could not harm him.

  As long as he stayed quiet, even if he sang a song ihe ghost couldn't do anything to him.

  As long as he didn't leave the wardrobe.

  Otherwise, no matter what he did, he would be doomed.

  These were the rules.

  Jiang g was a reasonable person, and he felt that rules were a good thing. He sincerely hoped that both the ghosts and pyers would work together and respect the rules.

  Just as Jiang g was about to test the ghost's limits, he suddenly heard a strange muffled groan.

  That was not a sound a ghost could make.

  He slowly turned his head and looked toward the other side of the wardrobe.

  The wardrobe had two doors—one on the left, one on the right. Jiang g was behind the left door.

  Both doors were separate spaces, with a wooden partition iween.

  In other words, Jiang g didn't know what was behind the right door.

  After the ghost's repeated attacks, the wardrobe began to shake, and though Jiang g khis was just an illusion, the vibrations still stirred up a lot of dust.

  Jiang g felt a tickle in his throat.

  Clearly, the other side must also have someone.

  Jiang g's eyes narrowed as he recalled the third set of footprints oairs.

  The ghost's attacks were furious, but they didn't st long. After about a mihe ghost gave up, and its bloodshot eyes showed deep dissatisfa.

  But there was nothing to be dohe rules were the rules. Even if she was unwilling, she had to turn and leave.

  The soft, slumped footsteps faded as she went dowairs.

  After the ghost left, the atmosphere ihe wardrobe became somewhat subtle.

  The person hiding in the wardrobe before Jiang g had to have known there was someone beside them, and Jiang g had already realized someone was there. Yet, they both silently agreed to remain quiet.

  But as the saying goes, "Gentlemen go first." After firming that the ghost had left, Jiang g was the first to open the wardrobe door.

  After leaving the wardrobe, he didn't immediately open the right door to see who was inside or look for a way to escape. Instead, he moved a wooden table to gently block the right wardrobe door.

  It seemed that he was afraid the table wouldn't hold, so he moved a beam to support it from behind.
