She recalled unsettling legends about haunted funeral parlors and grew even more terrified, tears streaming down her face.
When Gu Yang returned to the Memorial Hall, she saw Gu Shuxue running in circles on the empty grounds.
Perplexed, Gu Yang wondered if Gu Shuxue had developed a strange habit of running in funeral parlors.
As Gu Yang approached, she suddenly felt something was amiss. How could Gu Shuxue not see her?
"Gu Shuxue?" Gu Yang called out.
Gu Shuxue didn't respond and kept running.
Realizing what might be happening, Gu Yang understood that Gu Shuxue was likely hypnotized. She stepped in front of her and extended a leg to trip her.
