“According to the records, anyone who enters this old house is definitely going to be cursed…

A man cloaked in a black cape, from the Dark Eagle Alliance, said in horror.

‘”Vulture’ Joen, are you afraid?”

Roderick had returned at this point, a sinister smile on his face, his eyes glowing crimson, “If you’re afraid then don’t go in…”

“Anyone chased away by a mere Ten-fist Association is not worth talking to!”

Joen coldly retorted.

“You…”

Roderick was so infuriated that he was momentarily lost for words.

Su Lu, who had just arrived, frowned as well.

This Dark Eagle Alliance really had a knack for making enemies.

“Enough!”

Bishop Hughes said coldly, “Although we will be cursed if we enter the old house, there will be no problem if we destroy it. Still, due to its unique nature, I recommend that those who are a rank 3 or above venture in… Of course, you are free to do whatever you want. It’s your choice.”

Wearing an expression like that of a martyr, he approached the main door of the old house.

Harris gritted his teeth and called for two of his subordinates to follow behind Hughes.

“Wait here!”

Roderick ordered his subordinates and then joined the squad. Joen from the Dark Eagle Alliance made the same decision.

Su Lu didn’t make a sound, choosing to follow the team from behind, “Nine people, is it?”

It wasn’t possible for there to be only this few of rank 3 Occupational Persons in Charles City. However, only these few were willing to enter the old house.

The church and the Eleventh Bureau both sent out three people; the remaining three consisted of Roderick, Joen, and himself.

‘while there are more local transcendants, there seems to be fewer of the top-tier ones. Have they been controlled in some way?’

Su Lu suddenly thought of something.

“Divine Blessing!”

Hughes looked at them, waved his hand, and a white light descended onto them.

His profession also appeared to be [Bishop], a rank 3 belief path Occupational Person who could produce holy water, purify evil, and boost his allies.

Of course, he also possessed remarkable physical and spell abilities.

Hughes arrived in front of the old house, took a deep breath facing the doorway smashed by the Evil Spirit Knight, and said, “Let’s go!”

He then took a step forward into the house!

The nine of them walked in one by one, their faces tense. Su Lu was perhaps the most nonchalant of them all.

After all, he had already been affected by the curse once; being affected again wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Seemingly alarmed by this group of Occupational Persons, the old house did not respond immediately and allowed them to enter the living room.

“It should… originally have the portraits of the generations of house owners…” Harris looked at the wall with burn marks and had a strange expression on his face.

“What exactly is the mysterious core of the old house that we’re looking for?”

Roderick suddenly asked.

“I do not know!”

Hughes shook his head: “It is the embodiment of evil, the source of the house’s mystery… it is not bound by any physical form, but you should be able to feel it when it appears in front of you!”

“I can sense it now, it’s probably a fun little thing!”

Roderick chuckled as he pocketed a golden goblet inlaid with gemstones from the table.

It looked like an antique, and even if it wasn’t, the pure material itself was worth a lot of money.

Of course, to have attracted Roderick’s interest, it was not merely an antique, but perhaps also a marvel!

Joen’s eyes seemed to have lit up for a moment.

This was the old house of the Angus Gold family, after all. Maybe a painting, a cup, or an even soup spoon or fork… all of them could hold secrets.

Fortune comes with risks!

These inconspicuous trinkets might also contain terrifying curses. It depended on each person’s courage and choice.

“A complete antique house should include a living room, master bedroom, secondary bedroom, storeroom, cellar… it’s quite a huge area!”

Harris held a conspicuously modified shotgun: “How do we start the search? Shall we split up?”

“No… The reason why the Demon’s Old House is so quiet now is that we, a group of middle-ranked Occupational Persons, are all gathered here. Once we split up…

Hughes immediately rejected the idea without hesitation.

But when he turned his head, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Harris, who had just been standing next to him and talking to him, had suddenly disappeared.

Not only him, but also the other members of the Church, Eleven Bureau detectives, and even the three wild transcendent, all had disappeared without a trace.

“Split us up to defeat each one individually?”

Hughes muttered softly, a resolute look on his face as he pulled out a pendant from his bosom.

A holy glow instantly enveloped him.

“Is this…the second floor of the old house?”

Su Lu looked around.

In the dim light, the corridor was utterly silent, as if he were alone.

A cold, oppressive aura emanated from all the closed doors around him.

“The old house of the Demon’s ability? Has it transported each of the nine of us separately? And not just with distance, but space too!”

Su Lu had a serious look on his face.

He could sense the spirit world’s breath.

The location of the old house was not just in reality, but also in the cracks of the spirit world.

Its abilities even stretched to interact with higher levels than the second spiritual realm!

It was understandable that it could do many incredible things.

“If I’m not mistaken, at the third layer of the spirit world, most of the rules of reality will fail…”

Su Lu released his inspiration, spreading it around him in ripples.

After advancing to the rank 3 [Odd Technician], his inspiration was finally able to resist this level of terror and didn’t instantly fall into chaos, in fact, it even retreated.

“It is indeed the spirit world!”

In his inspiration, everything around him was different.

The carpet was rotten and stinky, infested with large patches of mold, the color of the walls turned yellow, and many metal objects were rusted.

“By the logic of multi-layered spiritual realms, has this old house thrown us Into dltrerent layers or tne spirit world( However… we nave mne people, ana It may not be able to split that many layers, which means that several companions might have been thrown into the same layer!” Su Lu smiled.

Studying the spirit world is an [Odd Technician]’s specialty!

He came to a bedroom door, thought for a moment, and grabbed the doorknob.

With a creak, the bedroom door easily opened.

What appeared before his eyes was a typical bedroom setting.

A carved ancient bed, a desk with a matching chair, a kerosene lamp, and a dressing mirror.

“The window? Why is there no window in the house?”

Su Lu was a little surprised. If not for using his inspiration in place of his eyes, he could hardly see anything inside the room.

Thump! Thump!

Thump! Thump!

At this moment, it seemed like knocking sounds were coming from inside the wardrobe.

Su Lu clenched his right hand and then loosened it, the chain of spirits materializing. He slowly approached it.

“Not right!”

When he arrived at the wardrobe, he found that the knocking wasn’t coming from there, but from… the mirror on the opposite side! He suddenly turned his head, only to see a shadow in the mirror!
