Ten people sat together on the rooftop. Some were discussing among themselves, while others, like Pei Yun, were thinking alone...

After an unknown amount of time, the sun gradually rose and everyone looked around, finally being able to see the entire rooftop clearly.

Ten people walked towards the kicked door, ready to reenter the building and find a way out.

"Do you feel a little hungry?" The burly man Fu Ruming touched his stomach and asked everyone with a simple smile.

"We are cultivators, how could we..." Lou Ran, who was wearing seductive makeup, couldn't help but snort and laugh, but halfway through her words she suddenly remembered that everyone's spiritual power was restricted.

"We have to find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise we might starve to death. This is also the hidden time limit of this level." Pei Yun's face sank slightly, and he walked down first, followed by the other nine people.

There are red numbers written on the walls of the stairwells on each floor of this building to indicate the floor number, and there is also a door at the entrance of the stairwell on each floor.

Every time Pei Yun walked down a floor, he would push the door, but only the doors on the thirteenth and seventh floors could be opened, the others could not be opened.

It seems that the key information is on these two floors. Pei Yun thought about it, and then he heard someone shouting in surprise: "The old woman holding the brazier and burning paper is gone!"

"It seems that this ghost will disappear automatically during the day..." Everyone was very happy and tried to run down the stairs again.

But to everyone's disappointment, although the ghost disappeared, the barrier still existed and they could not go down.

Pei Yun and the others could only enter through the corridor door and walk into the long hallway...

There were ten households on the first floor, so there was no need to gather together. The ten people looked at each other and began to disperse, each looking for useful information.

Pei Yun came to a resident's door at random. She touched the door subconsciously, but she didn't expect that she could pass through the door without any obstruction.

She looked delighted and walked in quickly. Seeing this, the others also walked into the room in front of them...

As soon as she entered, Pei Yun saw a clean and bright room. The style was completely different from the world she lived in. It seemed like she had come to another world, and the people living in the room could not detect her presence.

In the living room, a middle-aged man was holding a mobile phone and looking at it intently, and a woman came out pushing a boy with a schoolbag on his back.

"Don't look at your stocks, hurry up! Send Xiaoye to school..." The woman patted the man anxiously.

The man glanced at the clock on the wall, picked up the car keys, and walked out with the boy. Pei Yun followed behind the two, one big and one small.

"Dad! What's that smell?" The boy suddenly covered his nose while walking in the aisle.

"I guess that wild cat has pooped again. Don't feed these wild cats and dogs anymore..."

Pei Yun followed the two of them to another elevator. When passing by a resident's door, she suddenly thought of something. She looked down and found that the cardboard boxes piled at the door last night were gone.

Unfortunately, before she could think any more, the middle-aged man had already walked into the elevator with the child, and Pei Yun hurriedly followed him in.

This time there was no bloody palm print in the elevator, and the lights were bright and not flickering. The man pressed the "1" button, and the elevator quickly descended...

The elevator door opened with a "ding" sound, and the man walked out of the elevator with the child beside him. Pei Yun wanted to follow them, but found that there was an extra barrier in front of the elevator door and she couldn't get out.

After a moment, the elevator door closed, but there was no movement.

Pei Yun thought about it and imitated the man's actions, pressing all the buttons, but only the "7" and "13" buttons lit up.

The elevator slowly ascended. Pei Yun stood alone in the elevator, once again looking at the notice on the wall and the telephone above...

The "ding" sound rang again, and the elevator sent her back to the seventh floor. Pei Yun walked back to the residents' corridor, and thinking of the abnormality she had just discovered, this time she entered the household that originally had a cardboard box at the door.

This room was not as clean and tidy as the one Pei Yun had just entered. There were moldy walls, dirty clothes scattered around, and takeout boxes with some food left on the table...

A disheveled woman kicked a man lying on the sofa playing games on his phone and said unhappily:

"It's only the sixth today and the money in the card is gone. It will take a few more days for the old woman to get her pension! I'm telling you not to put any more money into the game, or you'll starve to death. I'd better remarry as soon as possible..."

The man ignored her, turned over and continued playing his game...

Pei Yun was refreshed when she heard this. She suddenly remembered the old woman she met last night and started looking for her inside and outside...

Unfortunately, she searched several times but didn't see the old woman, but there were a lot of cardboard boxes piled up in a small room.

In addition to a small bed and a cabinet next to it, the rest of the bedroom is filled with cardboard boxes, and there is a rotten smell in the room...

Pei Yun checked under the bed and in the cabinet but found nothing. She came to the cabinet and saw an upside-down photo frame on it.

She curiously lifted up the photo frame and found a yellowed photo inside. She vaguely recognized the old woman's appearance when she was young. Next to her sat a young man. They both stood up straight and held hands. They had big red flowers on their chests and sweet smiles on their faces...

For some reason, Pei Yun felt a little sad. The hideous and scary old woman last night was completely different from the pretty and shy young woman in the photo frame. She suddenly understood the theme of this level - all living beings suffer.

Pei Yun left this room full of decay and sadness, glanced coldly at the two people lying lazily on the sofa in the living room, and left the house...

The moment she walked out, Yin Yanyue and Yu Zhen walked in one after the other. The three of them passed by each other, and she nodded to each other...

We are not fools. I believe everyone will soon find out that this house is where the old woman lives!

But the biggest doubt now is where the old woman's body is. When they saw the old woman last night, she was already a ghost, proving that the old woman was dead. Pei Yun guessed that the old woman was most likely killed by the couple in the house.

Pei Yun searched all the residences on the seventh floor, but still could not find the old woman's body, nor did he find any clues...

She thought for a moment and decided to go to the thirteenth floor first. There were also ten households on the thirteenth floor, but the corridor here was much busier than the seventh floor. Three middle-aged women were sitting side by side in the middle of the corridor, picking vegetables and gossiping...

At this time, a young and beautiful woman walked out of a door holding the hand of a little girl with a schoolbag on her back. The two hurriedly walked towards the elevator...

The three women looked at the young woman's back with disdain and said sarcastically, "You are so beautifully dressed, I wonder which man you are trying to seduce..."

"Oh! You don't know this. Last week night, I happened to be out taking out the trash, and I saw Xiao Li from 1308 sneaking into her room. I guess the two of them... have been having an affair for a long time!"

"A woman whose husband has died is not a good person!"

"Speaking of which, why hasn't Xiao Li's wife come back yet? Otherwise, these two would dare to have such a blatant affair!"

"How could I know? Didn't he say he was going on a trip? He's been gone for more than half a month and he hasn't come back yet..."

Pei Yun pricked up her ears to listen to the gossip for a while, and then she searched the house one by one. At this time, she was surprised to find that she could also get through the door covered with talismans and hung with the Bagua mirror that she couldn't enter last night...

As soon as she entered the house, a black cat jumped out and meowed fiercely at her. The house was full of dust and had no trace of life. The entire living room was empty except for the altar in the center and the memorial tablets and urns on it...

Pei Yun walked to the altar and took a look at the two tablets in front of him.

She thought about it and searched the whole house first. Unexpectedly, she found several boxes in an empty room. She tried several times to open the boxes. The smell of blood and rot instantly filled the whole room. These boxes actually contained pieces of human bones. Someone had dismembered the body and put the body parts into the boxes...

Even Pei Yun, who was always calm, almost couldn't help screaming. She endured the nausea and squatted down to check carefully. Finally, she saw a head in a box. It belonged to a young woman. It seemed that it was not the body of the old woman.

She realized that this building might have more than just the old woman's secret, and they might not only have to find the old woman's body, but also figure out how this body came to be.

Pei Yun walked around the house again and finally returned to the altar. She looked at the things on the altar, hesitated for a moment, picked up the lighter and studied it, then lit the candles on both sides, took out three incense sticks from the incense box, lit them, bowed three times towards the tablet, and inserted them into the incense burner...
