The door of the basement was hung with a string of talismans. I turned around and entered, slamming the door shut. My sister-in-law was fiercely banging on the door from outside, roaring in despair.

I was drenched in cold sweat, unable to stop panting. If a few seconds later, I would become a fresh corpse.

Yu Meng was panting beside me, looking at me with great astonishment, and asked, "Your home actually has a basement. But what's the use of bringing me here? After all, we still have to get out."

I hesitated for a moment and finally spoke, "Here, hidden in my family's heirloom, it can lead us safely out."

Yu Meng's eyes instantly brightened, "Heirloom?"

I took a few steps forward and found an old-looking jade lock in a very dilapidated jar. I picked it up and looked at Yu Meng, saying, "It's this. Grandpa told me when he was alive that if I encountered any supernatural events, it could save my life."

"If that's the case, why didn't your brother and the others use this thing before they died?" Yu Meng's voice carried a hint of doubt.

"Perhaps Grandpa had already foreseen this day." I looked at the jade lock and whispered.

"So this thing was here. No wonder I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked." Yu Meng suddenly spoke up.

I was taken aback and before I could react, Yu Meng swiftly took the jade lock from my hand, tightly grasping it.

"What are you going to do?" I angrily asked, "Don't you want to get out alive?"

"I naturally have a way to get out alive. As for you, you can reunite with your brother and the others!"
