chapter 8

Qin Xiao and I both turned pale instantly.

Qin Xiao trembled as she tried to pull me away, but I shook her off.

Her voice was choked with tears: “Ruanruan, I was wrong, I know I should have warned you ahead of time… but now…”

I snapped at her, “Cut the crap! Find something heavy to block the door!”

The two of us piled everything we could find in the Washroom against the door.

Ji Zhao had just told me that this Coffin Room was special-while inside this space, whether human or ghost, everyone exists in physical form.

In other words, even ghosts must obey the laws of physics here; they can’t pass through walls or float in through cracks like in horror movies.

But…

The Washroom door was slammed hard from the outside, and the titanium alloy lock groaned under the strain, looking like it was about to crack.

Yes.

Ji Zhao’s warning had been-

“Ťū₈ Although ghosts also follow physical laws, in the Extreme Yin Land, their strength and speed far surpass those of humans.”

Soon, Wu Lan crashed into the door a second time.

This time, the door panel split open, and through the shattered wood, a hand reached in.

Splinters tore the hand, leaving it bloody, but she seemed to feel no pain. With a twist, she ripped off a chunk of the door.

Through the gaping hole, I saw Wu Lan’s face.

It was deathly pale, with long black hair, a white dress, and White Shoes.

Suddenly, I remembered-this outfit was the birthday present I had given her.

Back then, she had hugged the gift box and said gently to me, “Ruanruan, thank you. This is the first birthday present I’ve ever received.”

Now, Wu Lan spoke in that same gentle tone, “Ruanruan, is it that no matter what I say, you won’t ever trust me again?”

I looked into her eyes.

A pain exploded deep in my mind.

Suddenly, I remembered.

I remembered some memories I had deliberately tried to forget.
