Chapter 27 - Chapter 26: Survival Comes First

"Sir, do you want to kill everyone here?" Chen Xi asked Mo Lin.

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in shock.

Kill them all?

That's too bloody.

Everyone was utterly terrified.

Some timid people were trembling just from hearing Chen Xi's words.

A few ordinary women were on the verge of tears from fear.

Tears welling up in their eyes, ready to spill at any moment.

Since when did Yun Chuan have a Level 5 Ghost-Controlling Master?

What's the deal with these two nightmare-level ghosts?

Don't ask.. the answer is beyond unreasonable.

As long as Mo Lin nodded, everyone here would die.

At this moment, Mo Lin alone was as powerful as the entire Ghost-Controlling Society... no, even more powerful.

The lives of these people depended solely on Mo Lin's whims.

Chu Hanling felt a pang of fear in his heart.

He didn't want to die.. he was still so young.

"Brother.. I'm sorry.. I'm sorry."

With a sincere attitude, he apologized directly.

Chu Hanling at this moment couldn't care less about face.

Survival was the priority.

These two were nightmare-level ghosts.

Any one of them could easily snap his neck.

If he didn't apologize now, was he asking to die?

"I.. um..."

Chu Hanling stammered.

"I'll give you Netherworld Currency, I'll pay for this Ghost Artifact." Chu Hanling added.

"Put him down." Mo Lin waved his hand.

Chen Xi released his grip, and Chu Hanling fell heavily to the ground, smashing a nearby table to pieces.

He didn't even bother checking if he was injured, he began rummaging through his pockets, searching for Netherworld Currency.

He gathered thirty-two thousand yuan of Netherworld Currency and handed it to Mo Lin.

"Brother, earlier I offended you, I'm truly sorry." Chu Hanling handed the thirty-two thousand yuan of Netherworld Currency to Mo Lin.

His attitude was as respectful as could be.

The arrogance and disregard for Mo Lin from earlier vanished without a trace.

Chen Xi moved her body to the left, accidentally brushing Mo Lin's cheek.

Just a subtle, minor movement.

Chen Xi shivered and then suddenly knelt in front of Mo Lin, "Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."

Her respect for Mo Lin came from the heart, touching his face was an act of offense.

Everyone around was dumbfounded.

Are nightmare-level ghosts so lowly?

These were nightmare-level ghosts, yet so humble?

Even dangerous-level ghosts are usually revered by ordinary people.

Never have they seen a ghost so humble.

What kind of method did this person use?

To make nightmare-level ghosts so lowly?

Not even one's own pet dog would be treated this way?

Everyone who witnessed this scene was astounded.

Li Bingyan gulped in surprise as well.

Her feelings were identical to those of the people around her.

Surprise upon surprise.

What method could train nightmare-level ghosts to be like this?

No understanding, no knowledge.. no clarity..

"It's fine, disperse." Mo Lin forgave Chen Xi's actions.

Chen Xi sighed in relief and then disappeared along with the two ghosts, Chu Xing.

The invisible pressure vanished alongside them.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Hanling looked particularly embarrassed, his contract ghost quickly returned to his body and vanished.

Chu Hanling felt as if he had eaten dog shit, miserable beyond compare.

In his eyes, Mo Lin was akin to the Death God.

Chu Hanling didn't even dare look up at Mo Lin.

"Mr. Mo, earlier I offended you, my wife is ill, I need to take care of her, so if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Chu Hanling made up an excuse on the spot, he just wanted to get away quickly.

Without lingering, Chu Hanling hurriedly fled, not wanting to stay even a second longer.

His departing figure was as humiliating as could be.

"Everyone, get back to work." Li Bingyan scolded the surrounding crowd.

The crowd dispersed immediately, busying themselves.

Everything returned to normal.

In less than ten minutes, these people had experienced a brush with death.

It was evident that their gazes towards Mo Lin had changed, now filled with respect.

"Who was that man just now? Was he also from the Ghost-Controlling Society?" Mo Lin asked Li Bingyan, pointing to the departing figure of Chu Hanling.

"He's the deputy minister of a Ghost-Controlling Society branch, a position slightly higher than mine, he was here today for a routine inspection." Li Bingyan explained to Mo Lin.

If it weren't for his higher position, she wouldn't have been so courteous to Chu Hanling.

"Oh.." Mo Lin wasn't clear on what the deputy minister's position entailed, it had nothing to do with him.

"Were those two ghosts your entire power?" Li Bingyan asked Mo Lin.

"No, those two ghosts are just the tip of the iceberg of my strength." Mo Lin's words were not an exaggeration at all.

If he wanted, Mo Lin could even cultivate ten nightmare-level ghosts.

With enough Netherworld Currency, cultivating a hundred nightmare-level ghosts wouldn't be impossible.

Mo Lin didn't cultivate those two nightmare-level ghosts because that was his limit.

He just temporarily wanted to cultivate two nightmare-level ghosts.

Two nightmare-level ghosts were not the ceiling for Mo Lin.

"Ah.. that's just the tip of the iceberg?" Li Bingyan didn't even know how to describe her feelings.

Could Mo Lin have ghosts stronger than nightmare level?

She found Mo Lin increasingly unfathomable.

Li Bingyan was very grateful she managed to recruit such a powerful person into the Ghost-Controlling Society.

Luckily, she and Mo Lin were on the same team, not enemies.

"If there are any ghost-catching tasks, I can do them." Mo Lin wanted to catch some strong ghosts to bolster his combat power.

Also, to increase his ghost skills and add some Netherworld Currency income to the Ghost Suppression Book.

His Ghost Suppression Book had only captured four ghosts so far, far too few.

Set a small goal first, capture a hundred ghosts.

"Are you willing to do such small ghost-catching tasks?" Li Bingyan asked cautiously.

From her perspective, with Mo Lin owning nightmare-level ghosts, he was at the pinnacle of life.

Mo Lin didn't need to do such small ghost-catching tasks at all.

"I want to do ghost-catching tasks, if there are such tasks, feel free to assign them to me."

Doing tasks was trivial, Mo Lin was more interested in catching ghosts.

To capture some ghosts with special ghost skills, to strengthen his power.

As Mo Lin insisted on doing these small ghost-catching tasks, Li Bingyan wouldn't refuse.

She wouldn't reject Mo Lin over something so trivial either.

"I'll add you to the Yun Chuan Ghost-Controlling Master group, tasks will be assigned there periodically, if you find any suitable, you can take them."

Li Bingyan added Mo Lin to the Ghost-Controlling Society's task group.

It was a task group.

The people inside were all Ghost-Controlling Masters from the Ghost-Controlling Society.

Every day, various ghost-catching tasks would be posted periodically.

These Ghost-Controlling Masters communicated in the group daily, seeking help if they encountered any danger.

As soon as Mo Lin joined, he saw a stream of messages.

"West Suburbs, Level 3 Ghost-Controlling Master Yun Lin encountered danger, anyone close to the West Suburbs, please go help immediately."

Lin Xi: "Yun Lin has two dangerous-level ghosts, how could she encounter danger?"

Sha Jian: "Isn't it daytime now? Could there be ghosts coming out to harm people during the day?"

Wu Guang: "I'm too far from the West Suburbs, I can't make it."

Lin Xi: "Anyone close to the West Suburbs? Hurry and help."

Sha Jian: "I'm closer to the West Suburbs, I'm heading there now."

The group was discussing Yun Lin's encounter with danger.

Encountering ghosts during the day is quite rare.
