Hearing Zhong Yi's question, Zhou Yue recalled his recent ordeal, and a wave of bitterness welled up in his heart.
"Ah!!! You have no idea what happened to me!!!"
"I found the haunted room—it was in the basement… and then the basement door suddenly locked! I was trapped inside with the ghost!!"
"And then, for some reason, the ghost started messing with me… blowing out candles, breathing down my neck…"
"Luckily, I’ve got nerves of steel, so I didn’t even flinch."
"But guess what? The ghost suddenly ignored the protection period and started hunting me down… and then I died."
As he spoke, Zhou Yue wore a deeply aggrieved expression.
"But honestly, this illusion realm is pretty incredible…"
"In the end, out of nowhere, a divine bird appeared and resurrected me?"
"Hahaha, you all keep saying I have bad luck, but look—even a divine bird blesses and revives me. Am I finally turning things around?"
"...Huh? Why is everyone so quiet?"
After listening to Zhou Yue’s account, the three of them exchanged uneasy glances.
Only then did they realize the truth.
Those bone lots they had drawn earlier weren’t defective.
All their effects had been dumped onto Zhou Yue alone!!
Quick-witted as ever, Zhong Yi pinched his chin and muttered under his breath:
"So, [Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap] locks the ghost in the haunted room, [Fate’s Misfortune] makes the ghost more aggressive, [Vengeful Ghost’s Hunt] forces it to start hunting immediately, and [Miraculous Survival] is… resurrection?"
"What’s all that mumbling about?"
Zhou Yue scratched his head curiously.
Mu Yawen was about to speak when Zhong Yi clapped a hand over her mouth.
"N-Nothing! Old Zhou, turning your luck around is great! Really great… See all these lanterns? They’re lit just to celebrate your newfound fortune!"
"Hmph, at least you know how to talk… Hey, little sis, what’s that in your hand?"
Zhou Yue suddenly noticed the exquisite bone lot tube in Zhou Qiaoling’s grip and perked up.
"This…"
Zhou Qiaoling hurriedly hid the tube behind her back.
"It’s just… a little trinket from the room! For drawing lots, nothing special!"
"Drawing lots? Let me see!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yue grew even more excited.
Seriously? They were playing with lots right after his supposed luck turned around?
How could he not show off his new streak?
He snatched the Yin-Yang Divination Bones from Zhou Qiaoling’s hands and examined them closely.
Instantly, he saw the system’s description of the item.
"Hah, a cursed artifact? Hiding such a treasure from your own brother… Don’t worry, my luck’s changed now!"
Zhou Yue grinned, shaking the tube with unwavering confidence.
Inside, only a single bone lot remained.
"Whoa, the last one? Can’t let it go to waste!"
The moment those words left his mouth, the other three instinctively took a step back.
"Senior Zhong Yi… what if it’s [Vengeful Ghost’s Hunt] again?" Mu Yawen whispered.
"It’s fine, it’s fine… [Vengeful Ghost’s Hunt] already triggered once. It shouldn’t happen again," Zhong Yi reassured himself.
"And don’t forget, there’s still [Illusory Mirage]! What are the odds of drawing another [Calamity]?"
No sooner had he spoken than Zhou Yue plucked the final bone lot from the tube.
The moment it left the container, the lot’s surface turned pitch black!
Etched onto it was the ghastly image of a ghost hanging upside down, its deathly visage horrifying to behold.
Beneath it, the words glared ominously:
[Extreme Calamity: Hour of Reckoning]
A wisp of deathly black energy slithered from the lot like an arrow, burrowing into Zhou Yue’s fingertip and slithering toward his heart.
"I—"
Before he could react, two bloodied ghostly hands materialized at the corners of his vision, clawing toward his eyeballs.
In an instant, Zhou Yue met his end once more, his soul departing his body.
The three below stared in stunned silence at Zhou Yue’s corpse—his limbs twisted, his neck wrung into unnatural segments—before the reality of the situation finally sank in.
Zhong Yi, filled with regret for not stopping Zhou Yue in time, choked back a sob:
"Old Zhou…"
"Ah!!"
"Old Zhou!!!"
