"Do you think I'd believe you?" Hu Jiu sneered.
"If you knew how to leave this place, you would have run away long ago. Why have you endured this long?"
Seeing that Hu Jiu was about to strike with deadly force, Ares hurriedly explained, "I do know how to leave, but I'm not strong enough to find the exit on my own."
Hu Jiu paused what he was doing and asked, "Then tell me, how do we leave?"
Ares pointed outside. "This building is actually like a prison. We need to figure out how to get out of here and get outside."
Hu Jiu then asked, "What's the difference between the outside and the inside?"
Ares said, "The difference is huge. When I lived here, I constantly observed the outside world. I saw people moving around outside, entering and leaving the real world."
Hu Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly. "Didn't you even try to leave this building and find a way out yourself?"
"It's not that easy!" Ares's eyes held a hint of resentment.
"Because of the words you left on me, I was unable to send any useful information outwards, and when I asked for help, I was almost treated as Fierce Ghost."
"Besides, with my abilities, I wouldn't be able to leave this building at all."
Hu Jiu frowned slightly. "Why can't we get out?"
Ares sighed, "This building is haunted, and it seems to have an infinite number of floors; there's no end to it, whether you go up or down."
Hu Jiu's gaze shifted to the window.
Ares immediately understood what he meant and said bluntly, "Don't even think about going out the window. The space here is disorienting. Jumping out the window won't take you to the outside of the building; it will only take you to different floors."
"Even if we break through the wall, we can't get out. The walls, floors, and even the air here are Supernatural. A violent demolition could lead to unpredictable and disastrous consequences."
Hu Jiu stroked his chin. "So... how exactly do we get out of here?"
Ares hesitated for a moment. "If you're strong enough, you might be able to force your way out, but I think you should forget about it. Forcing your way out would leave you exhausted, and in that dangerous environment, it would be no different from suicide."
"Since you know it's nonsense, why did you say it in the first place?" Hu Jiu retorted.
Ares, his neck stiff. "I was just trying to kindly remind you not to act impulsively!"
Hu Jiu said impatiently, "Alright, stop wasting time and get to the point!"
Ares's eyes darted around. "I once met a strange man here who ate random things. From him, I extracted two rules for surviving in this place."
"Here, once Fierce Ghost enters a state of 'crash,' it will become part of the building."
"When the total number of active Fierce Ghost inside the building decreases to a certain level, the confinement between the building and the outside world will disappear."
Hu Jiu was taken aback, then smirked, "You mean, if we beat all the ghosts in the building to a standstill, we can get out?"
Ares nodded heavily. "That strange man who was eating everything around was trying to use his special ability to devour all the ghosts here in order to escape."
"Hehe~" Hu Jiu gave a forced smile.
Ares swallowed hard. "Believe me, I'm telling the truth!"
Hu Jiu wouldn't completely believe what Ares said, but he wouldn't completely deny it either.
Once again pinning Ares to the spot, Hu Jiu slowly and leisurely left the floor.
He continued downhill, encountering many Fierce Ghosts along the way.
He ignored everything that could be ignored, and even if a conflict occurred unintentionally, it wouldn't faze him.
But just as we reached a certain floor...
Creak creak --
A chewing sound reached my ears.
A disheveled man wandered aimlessly, chewing on something in his hand.
"Why is it this weirdo again?"
Hunger surged back, but the strange man seemed oblivious to Hu Jiu.
Hu Jiu pondered for a moment, then a bead appeared out of thin air in his hand, which he gently placed on the ground and pushed.
The bead rolled towards the bad guy, and soon it reached his feet.
The strange man stepped on the bead, his body tilted slightly, and he almost fell.
Unfortunately, he immediately twisted his body into a strange posture, maintaining his stability and avoiding a fall.
He squatted down, picked up the bead, put it in his mouth, and crunched it like a candy.
Immediately afterwards, the strange man looked around, seemingly unaware of Hu Jiu's concealed state.
But Hu Jiu's hunger suddenly intensified.
"Hehe, found you!"
The strange man's laughing voice rang in my ears.
Hu Jiu turned around and shot him with a backhand.
Bang--
The strange man took several steps back, reached out and took the bullet that had hit him, put it in his mouth and chewed it, a confused expression on his face.
"What is this? Why can't I eat it?"
In response, Hu Jiu repeatedly pulled the trigger.
Even in the Ghost World, the Supernatural still follows the most basic logic—it cannot affect gold.
The strange man who could induce hunger and eat anything was screaming in pain as he was hit by the golden bullet.
Hu Jiu watched his miserable state with great interest, listening to his repeated questions, "What on earth is this thing? Why can't I eat it!"
Bang bang--
Another volley of bullets, aimed specifically at the monster's forehead.
However, Hu Jiu soon discovered that while the golden bullets could hit the monster, that was all; they could only serve as a distraction.
It's practically impossible to kill the opponent using this method.
Although Hu Jiu had many spare bullets, he couldn't use them all on this one person.
There must be many powerful ghosts or Ghost Tamers in the Ghost World. Gold will be even more useful than usual. Until we find a way to return to the real world, we should use it sparingly.
Thinking this, Hu Jiu pulled out another pistol and fired golden bullets at a high frequency with both hands, forcing the strange man to retreat step by step.
At the same time, Hu Jiu leaned forward, and two more arms grew from his shoulders.
With one arm, he swung the Hanging Rope, entangled it around the monster's ankle, and tripped him up. With the other hand, he picked up the Golden Corpse Bag and stuffed it directly into the sack.
"Let me out! Let me out now!"
The strange man struggled frantically inside the Golden Corpse Bag, biting wildly with his mouth open; the shape of his teeth could even be seen from outside the bag.
It's a pity that his teeth, which could chew almost anything, couldn't break through the body bag.
Just in case, Hu Jiu put on another bag, then a long, thick stick appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he weighed it in his hand with a cold smile.
Clang--
Hu Jiu used all his strength and slammed the bag down hard on the strange man's head.
A dull thud of bones cracking rang out, sounding painful enough to make one wince. The strange man seemed finally frightened and hurriedly cried out, "Stop hitting me!"
