"Are you so sure?" Jiang Cheng stared at the other party.

Mu Yexing said confidently: "You will need me. And, when that time comes, you will have to accept my deal again."

"Is this possible?" Jiang Cheng sneered.

Mu Yexing also smiled, "We'll see."

After saying that, Mu Yexing turned and left, his figure drifting away and disappearing into the mist.

Jiang Cheng watched the other party leave, and the mist surrounded him again. He suddenly panicked and shouted into the distance: "You haven't told me how to leave yet!"

There was no response from the distance, leaving a car and four people in the center of the fog.

The roar sounded far and near, and countless eyes in the mist once again flashed with blood-like light. While Jiang Cheng was nervous, he suddenly noticed that there was no fog where the car lights illuminated.

"Could it be that… "

The fog was getting closer and closer. Jiang Cheng didn't have time to think about it and urged everyone to get in the car quickly. After sitting in the driver's seat, Jiang Cheng saw that the fog had poured over the window. Even if the windshield was not pulled up, the fog still could not enter the car.

"This car can block the fog!" Jiang Cheng understood, immediately started the car and drove towards the lunatic asylum ahead.

The fog on both sides continued to recede. The car was not very fast, but it was as fast as if it was traveling through a storm. There were constant roars from outside.

Turning a street, the familiar dark building was already in sight, and the fog seemed to be separated by a madhouse. Looking at the lunatic asylum that exuded a strange atmosphere, Jiang Cheng felt extremely at ease for the first time and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the lunatic asylum, Jiang Cheng took out the car keys and heard the three people around him sigh in unison. Turning his head, he saw that Xu Dingjia and the others' expressions were no longer dull, and their eyes were brighter than before.

"What's going on? Where is this?" Chu Xueying looked confused and asked, "Didn't we just... the house was on fire! Tong Xingtao..."

"It's all over." Li Feng, who had experience in an orphanage, acted relatively calmly and asked, "Did something weird happen again? I only remember that I was driving."

Jiang Cheng was stunned when he saw this, and immediately realized that he had entered the confines of a lunatic asylum, causing everyone to escape the influence of nightmare consciousness. Xu Dingjia was right when he said he wanted to take refuge in a lunatic asylum. After turning the corner, Jiang Cheng had a question in his mind, how did Xu Dingjia know

Xu Dingjia looked around and said with relief, "I didn't expect you to really do it."

Jiang Cheng was secretly ashamed, but due to the previous transaction with Mu Yexing, he couldn't explain it clearly to everyone. Jiang Cheng didn't speak much, so the task of explaining the incident was naturally given to Xu Dingjia. Xu Dingjia also fell into a state of sleepwalking in the second half of the trip. Naturally, it was impossible to tell the story of his experience during this journey. He was just telling the previous concepts of urban consciousness again, so that others could have some understanding of what happened. .

At the end, Xu Dingjia patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, I really don't have confidence that you can take us all the way. What's more, I didn't expect that you didn't wake me up even once."

Jiang Cheng frowned and hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Xu Dingjia observed carefully and asked.

Jiang Cheng pointed at the other person's face and said, "Wipe the blood off your face before talking."

Only then did Xu Dingjia realize that blood was oozing from all his orifices, and he was immediately frightened.

Jiang Cheng said: "If that situation wakes you up again, you will be close to death."

Xu Dingjia was already aware of his physical weakness, and of course knew that what Jiang Cheng said was true, so he did not continue talking about this topic for a while.

Looking at the steel door of the Libidinal Asylum, Jiang Cheng asked: "What should we do next?"

Xu Dingjia walked to the door with his head held high and said confidently: "Of course I'm going in."

"Bedlam?" Chu Xueying said in surprise, "Are we going to stay here tonight?"

Li Feng also said in confusion: "This lunatic asylum can actually avoid the fog of nightmares?"

"Not only is the fog of nightmares, it can also help us avoid Lu Fuyuan's plot." Xu Dingjia explained, "Here, you can sleep peacefully."

Chu Xueying's expression was not very good. After all, the people living here were all mentally disturbed people, so it wouldn't be very safe no matter how you thought about it. Jiang Cheng patted Chu Xueying's shoulder lightly and said comfortingly: "If I hadn't experienced those things in the orphanage, I would have doubts. But for now, our best choice is to believe him."

Chu Xueying nodded obediently, and then she realized that Jiang Cheng was in a very miserable state, with blood stains on his cheeks, hands and other parts of his body. She panicked and said, "Why are you injured like this? You were fine just now!"

Jiang Cheng just smiled and said, "Everything has passed. When we are safe, we will tell you about our experiences along the way."

"Quiet, I'm going to knock on the door!" Xu Dingjia said to the couple.

Jiang Cheng quickly closed his mouth and looked at Xu Dingjia. He was curious about what the other party would do.

Xu Dingjia knocked on the door three times, but the sound was not loud and no one responded. He didn't seem to be in a hurry and was waiting at the door, as if he was sure that someone could hear him knocking on the door.

Just when everyone was getting impatient, footsteps came from the door, and then a hoarse female voice was heard, asking: "Who is outside."

"Me." Xu Dingjia said carelessly.

There was no sound from inside the door.

Xu Dingjia rolled his eyes before saying, "We are asking for asylum."

The hoarse female voice sounded again: "The time now... is past twelve o'clock, how did you get here!"

"You really know!" Xu Dingjia did not answer, but said: "You know what will happen at night!"

"Who are you?" The tone on the other side of the door became somewhat hostile.

Xu Dingjia said calmly, "I am a stranger in a foreign land."

"What? How do you know..." There was surprise in the hoarse voice.

Xu Dingjia said: "I am Xu Dingjia, a disciple of the Xiuzhen family. I am asking for shelter inside the door."

"A member of the Xiuzhen family?" The woman inside the door hesitated for a moment before saying, "Come in."

The door creaked open, revealing a young nurse with a good face. It was hard to imagine that such a hoarse voice came from the other person's mouth. Jiang Cheng saw the work badge on the nurse's collar, which read Shao Fang, the head nurse.

After Shao Fang opened the door, he did not let everyone in immediately. Instead, he glanced at the four people warily, then took a few steps back and let the door open.

After walking in the door, Xu Dingjia relaxed completely, and his smooth smile returned to before. He said to the nurse: "Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, young lady, we would really be dead!"
