After that, the statue grew farther and farther from that room, as though it had sprouted legs and run away, or someone had stretched out the corridor...
Then the door to that room slowly swung shut as well, until it closed with a creak.
The sound of something rolling came from inside...
Meanwhile, Tang Liu's voice rang out again. "Be careful. That evil soul suddenly appeared in the room you were just in."
Lu Qiufeng instantly tensed up and asked, "Is she coming after me?"
Tang Liu answered, "No. She stayed in that room for a while, then left. Now she's approaching those five people gathered together."

Tang Liu scoffed at him. "Look at you, scared out of your wits. What would you do if that evil soul got right in your face? Scream until you annoyed her to death?"
Lu Qiufeng gave a bitter smile. "Captain, stop teasing me. The power here that affects people's minds is far too strong. Now even the slightest sound makes me tense up immediately. It's like an instinct—I can't control it."
Tang Liu sighed and said, "Man, looks like I made this illusion too powerful back then. Don't worry. Let me see if I can ease it for you."
Lu Qiufeng nodded. "It's not really a big deal. Getting out of this illusion as soon as possible is what matters. Captain, how much longer until I reach that room you mentioned?"
"Hmm... about five more minutes. You'll see a staircase up ahead soon. Follow it up, all the way to the top floor."
Lu Qiufeng replied, "All right."
