System [I am in a horror dungeon]

"So, he cheated both sides. The rules he gave us said we couldn't communicate too much with the locals, or we would be punished."

Chu Lingxian's words shocked the local residents on the scene. The rules they had seen were not like this!

Several people compared the pieces of paper with the town rules written on them and found that they were completely different.

Seeing the mayor tied up and silent, the people were very angry and asked him why he did this.

The mayor laughed contemptuously, "Because you have all forgotten! You have forgotten what those outsiders did across the street. They destroyed the village. You have all forgotten the life they led in the factory without seeing the sun! But I will not forget. They are all black-hearted people. They don't deserve to be here! Not worthy!"

The mayor was so emotional that his eyes were bloodshot and he roared at the top of his lungs.

"That's your prejudice!"

Lu Nanyin walked up to the mayor and said, "Let me ask you, how did your wife die? You said she wrote the new rules of the town with her blood, but what we see and follow now is not the one written by your wife. Where is the one she wrote?"

Upon hearing this, everyone spontaneously searched the mayor's house.

Chu Ling first stood behind Lu Nanyin and watched her continue questioning the mayor.

"Your eyes are dodging. Are you afraid? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the rules will be found? Why? Maybe there is something on it that you don't want to see."

The mayor suddenly stood up and rushed towards Lu Nanyin. The incident happened suddenly, and Lu Nanyin took a few steps back. Chu Lingxian took a few steps forward and controlled him.

An Yi and Xia Ji were also among the crowd searching. Xia Ji looked through the window and saw a locked room in the yard, but judging from the reactions of the townspeople, they seemed to not be able to see the room. He randomly grabbed a person, pointed at the room and asked, "Can you see a locked room there?"

The man looked out, looked in the direction he pointed, and shook his head blankly, "No, isn't there a garden over there?"

After saying that, he went to look somewhere else.

Xia Ji went back to the second floor, opened the window, saw the room, pointed it out to them, and asked if they could see it.

The two stepped forward. Looking at the place Xia Ji pointed to, they could only vaguely see a rough outline. How did he see clearly that it was a house and that the room was locked?

An Yi stuck her head out from downstairs and looked over there. Xia Ji asked her again, and she said, "I can see it, but it feels so dangerous over there. There is no road leading there, and there are thorns all around. It's hard to get through easily, right?"

Lu Nanyin glanced at the mayor and saw that he was stunned for a moment when he heard An Yi's words. He turned his head slightly to look at them, and clenched his fists even tighter.

Chu Lingxian looked over there and thought, "Why are the houses we see all different?"

Then he said to An Yi, "An Yi, come up first and draw what you see."

An Yi nodded, went upstairs, and drew the scene she saw on paper.

Looking at the picture on the paper, and then looking at that place, "It seems that's where what I'm looking for is. Let's go and explore it first."

Xia Ji looked at the tied-up mayor and asked casually, "What about him? Just let him stay here?"

"Take him with you, so that he won't run away and cause us trouble." After saying this, An Yi looked at Chu Lingxian.

"OK, let's go"

The four men told the townspeople about this and took the mayor to the thorn field.

But when they walked to the edge, they felt as if they had entered another world, with birds singing and flowers blooming everywhere, and roses blooming everywhere. It was completely different from what few people had imagined.

I walked along the cobblestone path to the front of the house. The house was indeed locked. The key was in a strange shape and was not easy to find at first glance.

Xia Ji searched the body but didn't find anything. The mayor just looked at them quietly and let them do as they pleased without saying a word.

Lu Nanyin looked at the necklace around his neck and tried to pull it off. Unexpectedly, the mayor suddenly got angry and stared at the necklace that was taken away. If it hadn't been tied with a rope, he would have snatched it back.

Several people looked at the necklace, which was a wooden ring with a few letters engraved inside, but they had been worn out and could not be seen clearly.

There was a noise from the door at the back, and the door opened, revealing a woman looking at them with a smile.

But if you look closely, you can see that she has no feet and no shadow; she has become a spirit.

The woman looked at the ring necklace on Lu Nanyin's hand, her smile gradually faded, and the next second she teleported in front of Lu Nanyin and took the ring from his hand.

Then he looked at the mayor and asked, "This is mine. Why is it with you? How could I give it to you?"

Looking at this scene, An Yi and Xia Ji were stunned. What... was going on?

"What did the mayor's wife look like in your vision?"

Lu Nanyin looked at the woman carefully. She looked about 80% similar to the mayor's wife, except for their age.

Chu Lingxian remembered what Ling Yin said, that there was an independent small world here, with many trapped souls in it. Could this be the independent small world she mentioned?

The mayor avoided the woman's gaze, his eyes moist and his voice choked. "I... here... you, I..." He didn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"You can't explain it, so I'll explain it for you. You went on to the customs clearance and asked them to kill the boss and his wife. When you went to check the situation, you didn't bring your wife with you. But after she knew what you did, she found the paper you got and wrote new rules. I hope this will make you understand that not all outsiders are bad.

But when you returned home and found the rules she had written, you were furious and tried to snatch the paper from her. Then, anxiously, you took a knife and stabbed her, and her blood stained the paper. Seeing that the rules had begun to take effect, you had no choice but to use her blood to cover the original words and write new rules. But because of your madness, you missed the best time to save her, and she had already died, beside you, watching you slowly die while writing new rules with her blood.

The roses in the yard withered instantly after Chu Lingxian said this. The sky was covered with dark clouds and strong winds blew. The woman was surrounded by resentment and looked at the mayor with vicious eyes.

"So that's how it is. Why didn't you save me? You just watched me bleed to death and trapped my soul here. You tricked me into telling me that those outsiders killed me. You controlled me again and again, saying you were avenging me. But you were just satisfying your own desires. Hahaha, blame me for believing you again and hurting so many people."

She locked several people in that room and they had no idea what happened outside afterwards.
