Separation

"According to historical records, entering Ancient Mansion will definitely result in being cursed..."

"From within the Dark Eagle Alliance, a person shrouded in a black cloak exclaimed in horror."

"' Vulture ' Jon, are you scared?"

Roderick returned at that moment, his eyes flashing with a scarlet light, and he grinned maliciously, "If you're scared, don't go in..."

"A guy who 'Ten-Fist Society isn't worthy to speak to me!"

Jon responded coldly.

"You..."

Roderick was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Sulu, who had just arrived, also frowned.

This Dark Eagle Alliance is really good at drawing aggro.

"Alright!"

Bishop Hughes said coldly, "Although entering the Ancient Mansion will be cursed, there will be no problem if the Ancient Mansion is destroyed... However, due to its special nature, I still suggest that it is more suitable for professionals of level three or above to enter... Of course, you can do as you please, that is your freedom."

With a martyr-like expression on his face, he arrived at the gate of the Ancient Mansion.

Harisi gritted his teeth, called over two of his men, and followed behind Hughes.

"Wait for me here!"

Roderick gave his subordinates an order and joined the group, where Jon of the Dark Eagle Alliance made the same choice.

Sulu remained silent, following at the back of the group. "Nine people?"

There are certainly more than a few professionals of level three or above in Charles City, but only a handful have come and wanted to enter the Ancient Mansion.

The Church and the Bureau 11 each sent three people, and the other three were Roderick, Jon, and himself.

'There are many wild superhumans in this area, but top-tier ones seem to be relatively few... Is this... due to some kind of control?'

Suddenly, something occurred to Sulu.

"Holy Blessing!"

Hughes glanced at them, then waved his hand, and a layer of white light enveloped them.

His profession should also be [Bishop], a third-tier faith path, capable of creating holy water, purifying evil, and providing buffs to teammates.

Of course, they also possess considerable fighting and magical abilities.

Hughes stood before the Ancient Mansion, staring at the door wrecked by Evil Spirit Knight, and took a deep breath. "Let's go!"

Immediately, he stepped inside!

Nine people entered one by one, looking tense, while Sulu was the most nonchalant of them all.

After all, he'd already been tainted by the curse once, so being tainted by it again wouldn't make much difference.

Seemingly sensing that this group of professionals was not to be trifled with, the Ancient Mansion did not immediately take action, but let them into the living room.

"This place... should have originally displayed portraits of the various owners of this Ancient Mansion throughout history..."

Harisi stared at the wall, which showed signs of burning, with a cryptic expression.

"What exactly is the core of this Ancient Mansion that we're looking for?"

At that moment, Roderick suddenly asked a question.

"Have no idea!"

Hughes shook his head. "It is the embodiment of evil, the source of the Ancient Mansion's eeriness... It is not bound by any form, but you should be able to sense it when it appears before you!"

"I can already tell, it's going to be a pretty good little gadget!"

Roderick smiled and picked up a jewel-encrusted gold goblet from the table.

It looks like an antique, and even if it isn't, the materials itself are worth a lot of money.

Of course, the fact that Roderick valued it shows that it's not just an antique, but a Curio!

For a moment, Jon's eyes seemed to light up.

This is the old Anguskin Family home; perhaps an oil painting, a cup, or even a spoon, knife, and fork... could hold a secret.

Opportunities always come with risks!

These seemingly insignificant little gadgets may contain terrible curses; it all depends on each person's courage and choices.

"A complete Ancient Mansion should include a living room, master bedroom, secondary bedrooms, storage room, wine cellar... it's a lot of space!"

Harisi, holding a clearly modified shotgun, asked, "How do we find it? Should we split up?"

"No... The reason the Demon Ancient Mansion is so quiet is because it's filled with so many mid-level professionals like us. Once we're separated..."

Hughes refused without hesitation.

But when he turned around, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Harisi, who had just been beside him and talking to him, had suddenly vanished.

Not only him, but also the other members of the Church, the Bureau 11 agents, and even the three wild superhumans, all disappeared without a trace.

"Should we divide them up and defeat them one by one?"

Hughes muttered something, a resolute look appearing on his face, and pulled a pendant from his pocket.

A holy light instantly enveloped his entire body.

"This is... the second floor of the Ancient Mansion?"

Sulu looked around.

In the dim light, the corridor was utterly Silence, as if he were the only person there.

All the doors were tightly shut, exuding a cold and oppressive atmosphere.

"The Demon Ancient Mansion's abilities? It teleported the nine of us separately... and... not just geographically, but spatially too!"

Sulu's expression was grave.

He sensed the presence of the Spirit World seeping in.

The location of the Ancient Mansion is not only in reality, but also in the crevices of the Spirit World.

And its abilities even allow it to access levels higher than the second layer of the Mind World!

It becomes understandable that they can do all sorts of incredible things.

"If my guess is correct, in the third layer of the Spirit World, most of the rules of reality will become invalid..."

Sulu's Inspiration spread outwards, radiating outwards from him in layers.

After advancing to the third tier of [Thaumaturge], his Inspiration was finally able to somewhat contend with the terror of this level, and he wouldn't be completely defeated upon first contact, or even retreat on his own initiative.

"It really is the Spirit World!"

In his Inspiration, everything around him immediately changed.

The carpet was rotten and smelly, covered in large patches of mold, the walls were stained with a yellowish-brown color, and a lot of ironware was rusted.

"According to the concept of multiple Spirit World, could this Ancient Mansion have thrown us into different levels of the Spirit World? However... there are nine of us, and it might not be able to divide us into so many levels. In other words, it's very possible that several of our companions were thrown onto the same level!"

Sulu smiled.

Studying the Spirit World is a specialty of [Thaumaturge]!

He walked to a bedroom door, thought for a moment, and then grasped the doorknob.

With a click, the bedroom door opened easily.

What appeared before him was the appearance of an ordinary bedroom.

An antique bed with carvings, a desk and matching chair, a kerosene lamp, and a dressing mirror.

"Where are the windows? Why doesn't the house have any windows?"

Sulu was somewhat surprised; if he hadn't used his Inspiration instead of his eyes, he could hardly see what was happening inside the room.

Knock knock!

Knock knock!

Just then, a clattering sound seemed to come from inside the wardrobe.

Sulu clenched and unclenched his right hand, and the Spirit Chain appeared, slowly approaching.

"Wrong!"

He went to the wardrobe and discovered that the impact wasn't from there at all, but rather... the mirror opposite!

I turned my head sharply and saw a dark figure!
