[The soul chasing arrow is almost ready. Xie Chi will be cold even if he hides. Isn’t it said that the arrow can chase you to the ends of the earth?]

[So it is good to burn it. If Xie Chi is shot to death and Jiang Shuo comes in, he would’ve obtained the key parchment paper clue without any effort.]

Xie Chi no longer spoke to the hermit. The hermit had no information other than what was on the parchment paper he destroyed. The tarot reincarnation method was eccentric to the point of creating a game but it didn’t write down the complete rules of the game for the sacrifices.

Everything was hidden in the game and the sacrifices needed to explore and discover it on their own.

The hermit calmed down, closed his mouth about the previous scene and pointed to the surroundings. “This is the room I chose to live in before. After death, it became a short-term shelter for the next players.”

Xie Chi was consolidating the information obtained to think of a way to escape and live. He heard this and wondered, “What are the other two rooms?”

The hermit smiled with rare ease. “The devil on the Devil card. In other words, as long as they aren’t brought in by me, they will encounter the Devil if they enter any of the three locked rooms.”

“Help me!!”

Outside the room, Jiang Shuo heard Gu Yu’s scream and immediately used the Void Crossbow to shoot an arrow at the darkness. Countless black arrows were shot at the monster in the room, making a metallic collision sound.

The powerful arrows didn’t seem to hurt it. The monster in the depths of the darkness was extremely hard and invulnerable. Jiang Shuo was outside the door and with his extraordinary hearing, he could hear the slight flapping of wings inside the room.

Thanks to the arrows as a buffer and a movement item, Gu Yu finally escaped from the monster’s hand and rushed to the door. Behind him, a sharp claw grabbed at him in order to drag him into the endless abyss. Thanks to the help of the light, Jiang Shuo could clearly see that it was a human-like monster with huge wings like a bat and antelope-like horns. The face was fierce and evil, its mouth was like a basin, it had a big belly like a pig and its two toes were like pheasants.

It had a rusty thick chain wrapped around it and the other end of the chain was inserted into Gu Yu’s shoulder. It seemed the monster was unable to come out but it gripped the chain tightly and pulled it back frantically. For a moment, the sound of the chains colliding was deafening.

Gu Yu who was about to escape was pulled in again. He grabbed at the door while blood and flesh flew from his shoulder. “Save me!”

He was slowly dragged back by the chain inserted in his shoulder and more blood and flesh was removed. Jiang Shuo decisively cut at the shoulder and the tension disappeared. There was an overwhelming pain as Gu Yu fell straight to the ground and panted like a dying fish.

The door behind them slammed shut. Then the lock that had been damaged by humans spontaneously locked again.

Gu Yu immediately healed himself using his last life-saving item. He was better but he was still in a state of shock. “It is the Devil! Xie Chi must be dead!”

The monster was so powerful and fierce that he had been severely injured. Then what about the extremely weak Xie Chi? The monster didn’t kill him because it was controlled by the witch. It wasn’t Gu Yu’s turn to die yet according to the death order. For a certain reason, the witch temporarily didn’t want to kill him so she just told the monster to hit him hard.

However, Xie Chi was different. According to the death order, he was originally the next to die. If he encountered the Devil in a locked room, the witch would never tell the Devil to let him go. Gu Yu muttered angrily, “He is stupid, voluntarily going into this type of room to die.”
