What an unusual kind of ghost.
Wang Linchi looked at the large banyan tree in the center of the village. To anyone else, this would just seem like a normal, thriving tree. To him, it indeed was a banyan tree; however, it was not thriving but riddled with holes. Numerous perforations encrusted the tree, each embedded with semi-illusionary human faces. Each face was twisted, fractured, or displayed some other deformity—in short, the kind that could scare someone to death with a single glance.
Luckily, Wang Linchi had gained some experience from his previous venture into a Gigantic Secret Realm that had exploded, so he wasn't frightened. It had truly been a worthwhile ordeal. Upon further observation, he realized that the banyan tree's roots had spread underground, bringing the entire village within its sphere of influence, which was how the village illusion had been created.
