Led by a silver pen-spear wielding Jason, Aimee and Detective Lee barged into the room that looked exactly like the childhood haunted house from Aimee’s memories. The old creepy old couple that were once in the house were gone and nowhere to be seen, as they were just destroyed by Jason.

“Why are we here? Shouldn’t we find our way out?” Aimee asked with a trembling voice.

“This is PROBABLY your way out.” Jason looked Aimee in the eyes and said: “This, very likely, and I am pretty sure of it, is a memory based limbo. That means that the curse released by the magical trap inside of that man’s body scanned your brains and your memories before pulling you in, and it created a link between your memories and the scenery of this place...”

“Which means the more concrete and detailed some random elements in the environment are, the closer the link is with my memories, and therefore my mind.” Aimee pointed at Jason, nodding: “But how do we do that?”

“That’s a good question.” Jason sealed the room with a spell and warned Aimee and Detective Lee: “Don’t split up. Remember to not split up. Don’t ever ever split up! Okay!? Important things are worth mentioning thrice.”

“Got it, got it. We’re not idiots.” Detective Lee was just about to wander to another room before he heard Jason’s warning and turned back, then a wide painting with a dark red and grey theme hanging on the living room wall caught his eyes: “Hey, Chaver, your childhood haunted house - did it have that piece of gruesome painting?”

“I don’t know - I only went in once.” Aimee looked around as Jason looked around investigating the furniture and decorations in the living room: “It was when I was still young, I went in with Thomas on a dare, and we had one flashlight with dying batteries we had to share. I can’t remember what the inside was like though. I just remembered an old couple living inside.”

“Yeah. But I remember a painting like that at my aunt’s house.” Detective Lee said: “It’s a gruesome one depicting a wolf man tearing up a lamb on the floor. It gave me countless nightmares when I was still a kid.”

“So this is a mashup of your childhood nightmares.” Jason looked around and said, then he brought out a thin silver needle and poked the painting with it.

A different and strange vibe and aura came off from Jason once he poked the painting with his silver needle and his eyes started flashing with silver light, but it only lasted a few, no more than ten seconds.

“Looks like this place is quite full of terror from your early memories.” Jason nodded and turned around. He then placed a small metal mirror on the floor: “I think this is the suitable place. Let me break you out. Now, sit down, clear your mind and chant this with me: ‘My heart will harbor fast wind’. ”

“My heart will harbor fast wind.” Detective Lee and Aimee both sat down in front of Jason and chanted with him.

“My eyes will pierce the highest sky.” Jason continued.

“My eyes will pierce the highest sky.” Detective Lee and Aimee continued chanting with him.

“My ears will hear what’s buried under thick earth. My mind will sense the waves of the lakes and rivers.”

“My ears will hear what’s buried under thick earth ...” before Detective Lee and Aimee could react, the metal mirror all of a sudden flashed a bright white light, which shone through their eyelids and hurt their eyes even when they closed their eyes. The next instant, Jason split his silver pen-spear into two silver Chinese writing brushes and drew two symbols on Aimee and Detective Lee’s stomachs with them. Then, he launched two soft palm strikes at the two symbols. The silver symbols grew and expanded, swiftly covering all of their bodies in silver. Then, with two sounds like that made by the sci-fi ray guns, Aimee and Detective Thomas turned into two bolts of silver light and shot up into the sky through the roof.

Jason jumped straight up with his silver pen-spear in hand. When he thrust the pen-spear at the sky, a beam of silver energy shot out and surpassed the two bolts of light. A silver portal appeared in the sky, just in time for the two bolts of light to go through.

When Jason fell back down, the house with a big hole on the roof below had already shifted in shape and size, and became a small mansion. But Jason purposely continued his fall even when he entered the house, and after tearing through the brick and concrete floor and the floor in the first level basement, he entered a giant underground room, with a luxurious chair on the far side, and shadows of men and women kneeling in front of the chair.

When he concentrated on the chair, he could see the shadows of one young woman standing beside it, and a cloaked figure sitting on it.

“Go and collect everything you can.” the cloaked figure began speaking, and it was the sound of a distant, cold, emotionless old woman: “And leave no trail behind. If you get caught, you know what to do.”

Since Aimee and Detective Lee were already gone, it would be quite impossible for a piece of memory this detailed to still remain in this limbo. So this scene could only be the memory of someone else, and judging by what he was seeing, it must belong to one of the two men.

Jason slowly walked towards the figure sitting on the chair, the closer he got the slower he walked and the more careful he was being. Eventually he came right up to the old woman and peeked underneath the hood.

It was the face of a smiling old woman, yet the wrinkles on her face that made her look like a wooden figure, the lack of facial muscle indications that she was really smiling, and the all black eyes just gave Jason a really uncomfortable feeling.

Just when Jason was about to look closer, the old woman opened up her mouth and opened his eyes wider, two forked tongues crawled out of her mouth and two streams of black smoke seeped through her eyes.

“Tsk - petty trick!” Jason thrust his pen-spear up at the old woman’s lower jaw, and exploded the old woman’s face entirely.

A high-pitched scream came from the headless old woman’s chest, but it was instantly silenced by a heavy palm strike from Jason, as the entire torso was blasted into smithereens by the one single hit.

Though having stayed in the limbo for a bit longer, Jason turned out to be the first one to fully wake up. Aimee woke up around half a minute later, and Detective Lee three minutes after her.
