"Did the matches get soaked? Could it be a Water Ghost?"
"No, not necessarily. The books say that lighting too many lanterns can easily anger evil entities and ruin fire-starting tools... We need to find the cabinet where the matches are stored."
"How are we supposed to find it when it's pitch-black..."
"Ah, damn it, don't bump into me!!"
"I'll do it, I'll do it. I'll go first—you guys follow me!"
The darkness in the Illusion Realm was even worse than in the games from his previous life.
In "Ghost Town Terror," each person could only carry four items.
It was the first time the four of them had entered the Illusion Realm, and they did not know what items to bring. Mu Yawen had even entered empty-handed...
So the other three had each brought different items.
Their only source of light was a Spirit Lantern that cast a dim glow.
Mu Yawen was the boldest of them all. She volunteered to carry the Spirit Lantern and lead the way.
Zhou Yue came second, Zhou Qiaoling third, and Zhong Yi brought up the rear.
By the time the light reached Zhou Qiaoling, it was already too faint to see clearly, so she could only clutch Zhou Yue's hem.
The four slowly searched through the room, looking for the cabinet holding dry matches.
They circled the room once without finding it.
"I remember there being a basement, I think? Maybe it's down there."
Zhong Yi, at the back of the group, suggested.
"Alright!"
Mu Yawen immediately turned around.
"Wah, my Sanity Points dropped again... They're already at 65!! My heart feels all fuzzy and prickly. Is that just an illusion..."
Zhou Qiaoling's voice trembled slightly. She did not even dare speak too loudly.
"Mm, it probably isn't an illusion... Junior
