On the desolate fields.
Ahead lay deep darkness, within which lurked countless vengeful ghosts.
Behind them, a strange noise was heard.
Not only that, but the drizzle turned into a downpour.
Jiang Qiao knew very well what this meant.
"Did I make too much noise, or did a vengeful ghost that was wandering in the spirit world just happen to come here?"
Even without turning around, he could clearly sense the approach of the vengeful ghost.
Because of that unusual chill, he felt an electric current shoot from the soles of his feet straight to his head, tingling all the way down his spine.
This means that the terror of this vengeful ghost probably exceeded his imagination.
Therefore, he decided to strike first!
"Boom!"
A clap of thunder.
Jiang Qiao suddenly turned around, and the lightning he had been gathering in his hand blasted out with his right hand!
A torrent of black lightning erupted from Jiang Qiao's fist, instantly piercing through the rain and tearing terrifying ripples through the air.
At that moment, Jiang Qiao also saw the strange figure five or six meters behind him.
It was a strange figure wearing a straw hat and raincoat, holding a red umbrella.
It stepped onto the field, but did not sink into the mud.
The pattering sound was from his footsteps.
"I think I've seen it before during the simulation."
Looking at the other person's attire, Jiang Qiao immediately recalled seeing a group of people dressed similarly before.
During the simulation, the group of people were quite far apart, they didn't interact, and they didn't seem to be as terrifying as the one in front of them!
Just as Jiang Qiao was pondering, black lightning had already engulfed the area where the other party was located.
A hissing sound came from inside, and he smelled a pungent odor.
That shouldn't be enough.
With just one glance, Jiang Qiao immediately realized that this vengeful ghost was far superior to the useless people he had encountered before.
Even the worm I encountered outside the village paled in comparison!
really.
The lightning dissipated, and the vengeful ghost stood unharmed in its original spot.
Apart from a few burn marks on its body, it was not significantly affected.
"This bastard is probably at the fifth rank!"
Jiang Qiao felt a sudden alarm bell ring in his heart, and his face became more serious than ever before.
This is the most terrifying opponent he has ever encountered in real life, and their level has even surpassed him!
It should be noted that his level is actually only fourth rank.
Although his fourth rank is somewhat alarming, his actual combat strength is comparable to that of a fifth rank!
"Perfect timing, I also want to see how far I can go when I go all out."
Thinking of this, a green flame and black electricity intertwined and began to surround Jiang Qiao's body.
He pulled out a kitchen knife, a fierce look appearing on his face.
Although people cannot become vengeful ghosts after they die.
"But I still have to say, ghosts should go back to their urns!"
The next moment.
He disappeared from the spot.
Stealth activated!
And unlike before.
Before activating stealth this time, he used "possession" to fuse a copper coin from the "beggar's bowl" and made a wish—to double the stealth effect!
In fact.
After the "broken bowl" turned the worm into a copper coin, he studied the few copper coins in the bowl.
Then, he discovered that all of these copper coins were transformed from fourth-order vengeful ghosts!
Not only that, his talent "possession of demons" allows him to directly fuse with these copper coins and gain the power of the vengeful spirits they represent!
This discovery filled him with immense joy!
Using a fourth-tier vengeful spirit as the price, the effect of the wish is very significant.
The doubled effect allows "Stalker" to briefly evade the perception of a fifth-tier vengeful spirit.
8BσOK·сoм
Jiang Qiao thus successfully got close to the vengeful ghost!
The next moment, he raised the kitchen knife in his hand and chopped it down fiercely!
The "Fierce Spirit Cleaver" carries a terrifying aura of ferocity and curse, and its damage level is at least level six!
So, unsurprisingly, this strike cleaved the vengeful ghost in front of him, along with his umbrella, in two!
"Did it succeed?"
Jiang Qiao personally split the vengeful ghost in two.
Moreover, the lightning and flames emanating from his body also covered the area where the vengeful spirit was located.
The combination of these two abilities can create an even more terrifying power!
However, under the double blow.
Jiangqiao, however, had a sense of unreality to him.
He raised his hand to strike, but it felt like he had struck thin air.
Although the vengeful ghost before them had extensive burns, its chilling and terrifying aura remained undiminished.
Not only that.
Although they were clearly split in two, in Jiang Qiao's perception, they were still a whole!
Something's not right.
Realizing this, Jiang Qiao immediately distanced himself.
Although the effect of the Stalker is doubled, being near a Tier 5 Ghost for an extended period of time will still allow the Stalker to be detected.
He must retreat first before planning his next attack.
However, just as he was about to back away, the ghost suddenly pushed the umbrella in his hand forward.
Seemingly to shield Jiang Qiao from the rain, the umbrella was placed directly over his head.
In an instant.
Jiang Qiao's vision went black, and he felt a blank in his mind, as if something was being drained from his body.
But it returned to normal after only half a second.
However, the substitute doll on his body lost its supernatural effects and became an ordinary doll.
"Directly extract my consciousness?"
Jiang Qiao took several steps back, avoiding the umbrella's cover, his expression changing repeatedly.
At this point, he finally understood why the young man had no wounds and didn't even have any supernatural aura.
Because this vengeful ghost can actually capture souls!
This reminded him of some folk tales that say you shouldn't use an umbrella indoors.
Umbrellas left on the roadside should not be picked up casually.
Because umbrellas can be used to collect and lock away souls.
An umbrella left lying on the roadside may contain unclean things.
There are even rumors that in some swimming pools where accidents have occurred, a few open umbrellas are secretly hung up, just to prevent people who have drowned from causing trouble.
"I've really seen it all today."
Jiang Qiao looked at the vengeful ghost in front of him and found that the body that had been split in two was beginning to merge back together.
soon.
The vengeful ghost returned to normal.
Then, it lifted its foot and continued walking towards the river bridge.
"Nym!"
Jiang Qiao realized that he really didn't have a good way to deal with this bastard.
"Are they going to use a begging bowl again?"
To be honest, he didn't want to use that bowl.
Because we can't see through it.
Even with his "Frankenstein's monster" talent, he was unable to uncover the secrets of this supernatural object.
A supernatural object full of unknowns also represents immeasurable risks.
Because supernatural power cannot be obtained for free.
Just because you haven't experienced any side effects after using it once or twice doesn't mean you can use it indiscriminately.
...
Just as Jiangqiao was fighting the vengeful ghost.
A series of surprised and doubtful voices also rang out in the square in the center of the village.
"Huh? Why is the rain getting heavier?"
8ьоОＫ. ом

The rain is getting heavier.
Everyone in the square was soaked to the bone.
Achoo!
Many people felt a chill all around them, as if a coldness was constantly seeping into their bodies.
"Damn, I'm an Awakened One now, how could I possibly catch a cold?"
"I think I have a fever, damn it."
"I feel weak all over. This rain is strange. I'm a muscle enhancer, how could I get sick?"
"For cerebral palsy, you're strengthening muscles, not the immune system."
More and more people in the square began to feel unwell, as if they had caught a cold, and the symptoms were getting worse.
Some of the awakened individuals with enhanced physical abilities were able to persevere, while others with ordinary physiques collapsed to the ground.
"This rain is strange; we've been attacked by a supernatural force!"
"Damn it, everyone get out of the rain!"
Soon, many people discovered the source of the disease: the increasingly heavy rain.
Some of the people who were still able to move began looking for places to take shelter from the rain.
The house, which was originally avoided and people were reluctant to enter, was now crowded with people.
It was at this moment that some people noticed some figures slowly walking towards them in the torrential rain.
Huh, who is this person?
"With an umbrella, could they be from the village?"
"What the hell? Where did this red umbrella come from in the village? This is a vengeful ghost!"
"Holy crap, run!"
"Wait for me... who the hell pushed me!"
The figures in the downpour became clearer, and a strong, chilling aura began to circulate around them.
The people in the square had already dispersed.
Those who remained in the same place were mostly terminally ill and unable to move.
They looked at the receding crowd, their eyes filled with pleading.
Those with friends can at least be helped away by their friends.
Alone and helpless, he could only lie on the ground, watching the vengeful ghost approach.
A few, who were weak, had already stopped breathing due to their serious illness.
...
"What kind of vengeful ghost is this?"
Yang Zhong stood under the eaves of a building, watching the approaching vengeful ghosts, his face grim.
Although he had reached the peak of the first rank, he was the third best in the village.
But against such a vengeful ghost, it might not even be enough to fill its teeth.
Where is Wang Hao?
He looked around, trying to find the second best fighter in the village, but he couldn't find him.
"Wang Hao left as soon as it started raining."
Beside him, Yang Zhong's newly recruited teammate spoke up.
"He's certainly fast," Yang Zhong said with a cold smile.
He was utterly disdainful of Wang Hao's constant attempts to make his presence felt in the village.
They think no one knows about their little selfish motives.
After the regional chat was launched, the more powerful villages in those areas were all courted by people from other villages.
He just wasn't interested in it.
A bunch of complete strangers, trying to make me work for them with nothing but empty promises?
No way.
I lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
Yang Zhong began to concentrate on observing the fierce ghosts.
He possessed the ability to alter the sharpness of matter, so he clearly sensed that beneath the raincoats of these vengeful spirits lay a glaringly sharp object.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare go up to see what it was.
at this time.
In the square, a vengeful ghost carrying a red umbrella slowly approached a man.
Although the man was still somewhat conscious, he was on the verge of death.
He watched in horror as the vengeful ghost approached, trying to move his body, but he had no strength at all.
The next moment.
The vengeful ghost slowly covered him with the umbrella in its hand.
⑧вок.сом
This scene left the villagers hiding inside the house stunned for a moment.
Can a vengeful ghost really do such a good thing?
However.
Before they could even utter a sigh.
The man lying on the ground suddenly stiffened, and then his eyes lost their color.
It was completely lifeless.
...
Outside the village.
In the fields.
Jiang Qiao punched the vengeful ghost on the head. The immense force blasted a hole in the ghost's skull, from which a foul-smelling red and white substance flowed out.
But the next moment.
A blinding light flashed, and the vengeful ghost pulled a broken knife from its raincoat.
Caught off guard, Jiang Qiao lost the head of a substitute doll.
"Depend on!"
"If I cut you in two, you'll give me a chance to split up?"
Jiang Qiao's eyes stung slightly as he stared at the knife.
The condition only improved after switching to double pupil vision.
"A fierce and malevolent aura!"
Jiang Qiao carefully examined the knife and found that although the fierce aura on it was not as strong as that of the evil spirit kitchen knife, it was still close to the point where one should not look at it casually, otherwise the fierce aura would hurt one's eyes.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably go blind.
But what shocked him most was that the broken surface of the knife had irregular serrations, making it look as if it had been forcibly broken!
"Being able to break a supernatural weapon of this level means, conservatively speaking, that's at the sixth tier."
Jiang Qiao thought for a moment, then charged forward again.
"You have a knife, and so do I!"
He chuckled to himself, muttered something, and then chopped down with the cleaver!
The vengeful ghost's body was once again cleaved in two, its internal organs and blood spilling onto the ground.
The face hidden under the straw hat began to change.
It suddenly raised its head.
That face had actually turned into Jiang Qiao's likeness.
Jiang Qiao suddenly felt that his memory was malfunctioning, and his mind seemed to be going blank.
But the other person's face is becoming more and more human-like!
But the next moment, this change seemed to be forcibly pushed back to the previous state, and the face that was becoming more and more like Jiang Qiao returned to its previous appearance.
And the number of substitute dolls decreased by one again.
"Is this... brainwashing?"
"Where the hell did you get so many abilities?"
The Jiangqiao Bridge, after returning to normal, was completely transformed.
He never expected that he would fall into such a trap without even realizing it.
"Fuck your grandpa!"
"I'll tear you to pieces today and see if you can recover!"
After saying that, he took a shroud from his pocket, put it on, and charged forward again with a kitchen knife!
...
Wang Hao and his group hid in a house on the outskirts of the village.
This place is quite remote; there are neither living people nor evil spirits here.
at this time.
They are watching the chat channel for updates.
"This vengeful ghost is the same kind I just saw. I didn't expect there to be so many."
Wang Hao was somewhat shocked when he saw the pictures shared in the chat channel.
Just a few minutes ago.
He saw a fierce ghost carrying an umbrella emerge from the darkness.
The ghost was not very clear, but the terrifying aura emanating from it still greatly shocked him, even from a great distance.
"Killing someone with an umbrella..."
Beside him, Yang Yun looked at the message and a question suddenly arose in his mind:
"Is the ghost's killing power its own, or the umbrella's? If the ghost is killed, can the umbrella be taken?"
He pondered silently, without telling Wang Hao.

The rain is getting heavier.
If it was a torrential downpour just now, it has now turned into a waterfall.
The water on the ground turned from small puddles into deep pools, and then into waist-deep puddles.
And the rainwater that had gathered together slowly began to turn black. Beneath the surface, it began to appear unfathomably deep in everyone's perception.
In the entire village, only those newly renovated houses remain undamaged by the rain.
When the rainwater reached the front of these houses, it seemed to be blocked by something and could not get in.
So these houses have become the only safe haven now.
"Those who stayed outside are gone." Yang Zhong looked at the rainwater that had gathered into a lake and felt a sense of shared sorrow.
Regardless, we're all survivors from the same village. Even though we don't know each other, who can say for sure that they might suffer the same fate later?
He realized at that moment how powerless humanity is in the face of the supernatural.
"I thought I had encountered a vengeful ghost, and that as long as I was strong enough, I could just take it down."
"What should we do in this situation?"
Yang Zhong gave a wry smile.
His companions had also become like frightened birds, their gazes shifting between the faint outline of a human figure visible in the dark rain and downpour.
Although a strange, torrential downpour was falling like a waterfall, the rain gradually stopped making a sound.
It was extremely quiet.
This silence also made everyone feel a suffocating sense of oppression.
It's as if a great terror is brewing in this world!
Just then.
One of Yang Zhong's teammates suddenly pricked up his ears, as if listening to something.
"What's wrong, Xiao Duan?"
Upon seeing this, Yang Zhong immediately spoke up to inquire.
Xiao Duan's ability is enhanced hearing, allowing him to hear many sounds that ordinary people cannot hear or distinguish.
This ability might be useless in normal times.
But in this kind of scenario, it has become extremely useful!
He has become the team's ears, helping to discover subtle anomalies hidden in the surroundings.
"There's someone singing upstairs."
Xiao Duan pressed his ear against the wall of the house.
As he listened intently, his brows gradually furrowed.
Is someone singing?
Yang Zhong suddenly looked up at the ceiling.
The ceiling height of this house is very low, only about two meters.
At 1.85 meters tall, he could touch the ceiling with his hand.
After a brief reminder, he calmed down and listened carefully, and it seemed that he could indeed vaguely hear music.
The voice was somewhat ethereal, and the singing had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
It must be an old song from twenty or thirty years ago.
Unfortunately, he doesn't usually listen to music, so he couldn't tell which song it was.
"It was pouring rain outside, but the house became lively as well."
Yang Zhong's heart sank.
The other companions, lacking both sensory talents and strength inferior to Yang Zhong, failed to detect any movement.
But seeing Yang Zhong's reaction, they understood what was going on.
They remained silent, not daring to make a sound, for fear that their actions might attract the evil spirits upstairs.
"Please keep quiet and don't move around unnecessarily."
"Everyone take your weapons and be ready to fight at any time."
Yang Zhong stared at the ceiling, silently wiping some utensils with his left hand, preparing for a possible battle.
There are no stairs leading upstairs on the first floor; the only way to go upstairs is to climb up from the outside.
Given the current dangerous situation outside, of course no one wants to go out.
Besides, there's no need to go upstairs to check.
It would be best if things could remain peaceful like this.
But if the ghosts upstairs come down, then we have no choice but to fight to the death!
Under the tense gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, the commotion upstairs did not disappear; instead, it slowly began to become clearer.
The teammates, who couldn't hear anything before, started to hear intermittent singing!
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"
Sudden.
A piercing electrical buzzing sound came through.
The singing stopped abruptly.
"Is it not a vengeful ghost singing, but an electronic device playing a recording?"
⑧ьoOk. cm
Yang Zhong had no time to react.
Then another "shush-shush" sound came from upstairs, which sounded like some device was missing a signal.
Immediately afterwards, a strange, hoarse voice came from upstairs.
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
"Four!"
"..."
"Thirteen in total, no more, no less, hehehe..."
Upon hearing this voice, everyone's expression changed drastically.
Because at this moment, there were exactly thirteen people sheltering from the rain inside the house!
"Damn it, this is bad!"
Yang Zhong muttered "Holy crap!" to himself.
The next moment.
"Thump—!"
"Thump—!"
"Thump—!"
A muffled sound came from the ceiling.
It's like someone is smashing it with a sledgehammer.
The entire house began to vibrate with the sound!
"Get ready! That thing is coming down!"
Yang Zhong glanced outside, but everything was blurred by the torrential rain, and he couldn't see anything.
"What is that sound?" someone asked in a panic.
"What else could it be? A ghost, of course," a chubby boy replied impatiently.
He then turned to Yang Zhong and asked, "This thing keeps smashing the ceiling. Judging from the noise, it's probably going to be difficult to deal with. But given the situation outside, we can't get out either."
"You are now the most powerful and experienced Awakened One present. You make the decision."
The fat man gave the decision-making power to Yang Zhong.
"Prepare for battle!"
Yang Zhong looked at the cracks that were beginning to appear on the ceiling and slowly took a deep breath.
...
Outside the village.
Small hill.
The short-haired woman holding the pliers looked increasingly grim.
According to the plan, she would use supernatural objects to temporarily suppress the sacrificial spirit, and then the others would carry out the task of exterminating it.
The spirits of the sacrifice are not so easy to suppress.
Almost all supernatural items that can suppress spirits have significant side effects.
That's why she stipulated that the battle must end within ten minutes!
But.
It has been twenty minutes now.
The gloomy rain that had enveloped the village had not yet dissipated.
This also means that there are still living people in the village!
"That's impossible!"
Sensing that the blood in her body was slowly evaporating, the woman's face grew paler and paler.
She wanted to end the operation and declare it a failure.
If this continues, she will surely die!
However, when she tried to loosen the pliers, she found that she couldn't!
This supernatural weapon seemed to be embedded in her hand!
...
In the fields.
Jiang Qiao, pale-faced, stood by the roadside covered in blood.
Before him lay a broken sword and a vengeful ghost holding an umbrella, chopped to pieces!
After losing three lives, they finally managed to kill the vengeful ghost.
"This umbrella is one with the vengeful ghost."
Jiang Qiao held the red umbrella and discovered that after the vengeful ghost died, the umbrella lost its supernatural aura and became an ordinary object.
He casually swung the broken sword a few times.
It's still sharp!
"I've saved it."

This thing is a bit strange."
Jiang Qiao looked at the shattered pieces on the ground that were still trembling slightly, and quickly set them on fire.
Perhaps it was because his supernatural powers were greatly diminished after he was torn to pieces.
The "Bone Fire," which had not been very effective before, now burned fiercely and quickly turned them into smoke and dust.
Truly, reduced to ashes!
However, Jiangqiao originally thought he could upgrade his level.
To their utter astonishment, they discovered that "seeing is believing" did not result in absorbing any energy!
What's going on?
Jiang Qiao frowned.
Just then, he heard another "slap slap slap" sound behind him.
He suddenly turned around.
He saw a strange figure carrying a red umbrella, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, walking towards him step by step.
Holy crap!
Holy crap, how come there are still some?
Jiang Qiao was somewhat bewildered.
Not only that.
As the red-umbrella ghost appeared, the surroundings slowly began to darken.
Jiang Qiao picked up the "corpse oil lamp".
However, he discovered that the light emitted by the lantern was flickering and uncertain, like a candle burning in the wind.
It's important to know that the corpse oil lantern is no ordinary lamp.
The light he emitted was actually a ghostly realm!
At this moment, as the red-umbrella ghost approached, the lights were affected.
This means that this vengeful ghost can now influence the ghost realm, and it is even more terrifying than the one that just appeared!
Just as Jiang Qiao was about to take action and strike first, he suddenly heard a noise coming from his left.
A ghost dressed in the same manner slowly emerged from the woods on the left.
And with the appearance of this vengeful ghost.
The darkness grew ever deeper, and the light from the lantern was suppressed to its limit, threatening to go out at any moment.
"Damn it, I'll see how powerful you two bastards really are."
Jiang Qiao's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
These two vengeful ghosts should have reached the peak of the fifth rank!
With his strength, escaping would be no problem for him.
But I'll say it again.
Why did I run away?
Let's get him!
A copper coin suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Entering the Demonic Realm" activated.
After Jiang Qiao merged with the copper coins, his body began to turn pale and swollen, and scars appeared on his head.
But soon, Jiangqiao returned to normal.
Immediately afterwards, a die appeared in his hand!
"I need the die to show a six!"
Silently making a wish, Jiang Qiao gently tossed the translucent dice.
With a gurgling sound, the dice began to spin wildly.
a little.
Three points.
Second point.
Six o'clock.
a little.
a little.
...
Six o'clock!
Ultimately, the top of the die revealed a six without a doubt.
At the same time, Jiang Qiao felt that he had formed some kind of connection with this supernatural space.
He found all the scenery around him very pleasing to the eye.
He knew that the effects of the fate dice were beginning to take hold.
There's a saying: "When the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength!"
Jiangqiao is in this situation now.
In just a few breaths, he felt his eyes become very dry.
It looks like something is about to burst out.
8. book. сOm
then.
He felt that under the gray vision, it was no longer a simple field of vision, but a field of vision that he could control autonomously!
"demon!"
"Holy crap!"
Jiang Qiao looked shocked!
demon!
He knew that once the double pupils reached the third stage, one could unleash the Ghost Realm.
Moreover, although double pupils are defined as SSR, they are completely different from other talents.
It is extremely difficult for it to advance to the third tier.
It not only requires some special substances, but also takes a very long time.
It has been more than ten days since he consumed the special fruit and started the upgrade.
He felt every day that he was about to break through.
However, it always gets stuck at the last step, making it difficult to achieve true perfection.
This made him suspect that the reason why "double pupils" was defined as SSR was simply because the highest level was SSR!
After all, once it upgrades to the second tier, the gray ray that appears can reach the peak power of the third tier!
Jiang Qiao has never seen such cross-level power in a second talent before.
With third-tier double pupils, one can directly unlock the Ghost Realm!
To date, he has only seen two humans who possess ghostly abilities, and both of them achieved this through supernatural objects.
Because the area affected by the ghost realm is too large, it requires extremely high levels of supernatural power.
A normal human body simply cannot withstand such a vengeful ghost or something eerie!
"The ghost realm with double pupils is far beyond what a lantern can compare to."
Jiang Qiao's eyes flickered, and a deathly gray aura began to spread from his body, rapidly encroaching on the surroundings!
A clash has occurred between supernatural forces!
The originally dim light began to shift, and the ever-pressing darkness receded.
Even the torrential rain falling from the sky disappeared as it approached the river bridge.
The gray ghost realm belonging to Jiangqiao is not large, only a few dozen meters in circumference, but it forms an absolute space!
Within this space, the two vengeful ghosts, each holding an umbrella, began to move unusually slowly.
That fruit can not only upgrade Jiang Qiao's double pupils, but also give the Ghost Realm a slowing effect!
At this moment, the two vengeful ghosts seemed to be playing in slow motion, with each movement taking several times longer than usual!
The vengeful spirit has been affected!
Even the chilling aura emanating from them weakened.
Seeing this, Jiang Qiao strode towards the vengeful ghost without hesitation.
Even though they were dozens of miles apart, he only took two or three steps to reach the vengeful ghost!
The next moment.
Jiang Qiao raised the kitchen knife in his hand and began to hack at the ghosts wildly!
The vengeful ghost tried to resist, even attempting to place the umbrella over Jiang Qiao's head, but it was too slow.
"Die!"
As he moved, the vengeful ghost let out a terrifying scream.
The sound was piercing and sent chills down one's spine.
"Screw you!"
As Jiang Qiao moved, the vengeful ghost quickly turned into pieces.
Afterwards, Jiang Qiao ignited it with the White Bone Fire, turning it into blue smoke.
It's just a pity.
The "see-it-all-gets-a-share" ritual still failed to absorb any ghostly energy.
However, now is not the time to dwell on this issue.
He turned and headed towards another vengeful ghost.
The moment the foot was lifted and landed, it was already behind the vengeful ghost.
"It's time for you to get going."
With those cold words, Jiang Qiao cleaved the vengeful ghost in two with a single stroke!
Then, one cut after another.
The second umbrella-wielding ghost eventually turned into dust.
...
Outside the village.
The man in the trench coat said to the short old man with some confusion:
"It's been over twenty minutes. What exactly is that crazy woman trying to do?"
"Having used that item for so long, is she out of her mind?"
However, the old man, who had been all smiles, did not answer him. Instead, he held the scroll in his hands and showed an incredulous expression.
Something's wrong with this village!
(8bOOK·com)
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
What's wrong?
"I asked the man in the trench coat."
The old man frowned and pointed to the scroll.
The brown scroll was crumpled, with the approximate outline of Village 404 drawn on it in pencil.
A faint red light enveloped the outline.
This represents the influence of the supernatural on the village.
The old man's rain power, when released through a scroll, gained incredible amplification and power, and could also trigger the scroll's own supernatural abilities.
The scroll is like a key that can unlock the door to a certain supernatural space.
And in that space, there exists a very terrifying vengeful ghost.
It carried an umbrella, wore a raincoat and a straw hat, and wandered around the space.
Everyone who enters the haunted space will attract its arrival.
If it covers your head with its umbrella, you will die instantly!
This is a death curse!
But that's not the scariest part.
The old man once trapped a team led by a fourth-tier expert, whose members were all awakened individuals at the peak of the third tier.
That fourth-tier expert possessed an extremely powerful supernatural weapon, so after suffering some casualties, he killed the vengeful ghost!
But.
This did not improve the situation.
Soon, two identical vengeful ghosts appeared, and they were even stronger than the previous ones!
In this situation, let alone a few third or fourth-tier experts, even a fifth-tier expert would not be able to survive!
Ultimately, the entire team perished.
Of course, while the scroll is terrifying, its side effects are equally frightening.
The old man looked behind him.
There was a figure sitting on the ground with his back to him.
The figure, holding a black umbrella and dressed in linen clothes, knelt on a reed mat.
Since we can't see her face, we don't know what she looks like.
And so far, apart from the old man himself, no one else has been able to find it.
This means that the terror of this vengeful ghost has exceeded everyone's perception capabilities!
Every time the old man used the scroll, the figure would get much closer to him.
From an initial distance of over thirty meters, it has now dwindled to just over ten meters.
Including this time, it has only been used five times.
He felt that after two more uses at most, the eerie figure would truly appear behind him.
At that time, he will face unimaginable terror!
Therefore, he rarely uses it now.
He wouldn't have agreed to help if the chairman hadn't offered him an irresistible reward.
Unexpectedly, something that seemed certain turned out to be an exception.
Within the area covered by the red light of the scroll, a blank space appeared in the corner!
Moreover, three cracks appeared in this blank space!
The old man was stunned by what he saw!
Because of this crack, there is also a crack on the other side of the scroll.
It was left behind by the fourth-tier expert who led the team last time.
Each crack represents the death of a vengeful ghost!
He wasn't sure if cracks throughout the entire scroll would damage it.
But he was shocked that someone in Village 404 could kill three vengeful ghosts!
"It's no accident that Xiao Yu and the other two died here."
The old man stared intently at the scroll, his expression extremely solemn.
Because he discovered that a crack had appeared again in that blank area!
This signifies the death of the fourth vengeful ghost.
However, before he could react...
Article 5.
Article 6.
Article 7.
Cracks began to appear on the scroll.
What was originally a crumpled scroll began to become tattered and torn.
"day!"
"This operation must be stopped!"
The old man panicked when he saw this.
Damn it!
8ВОоР. Сом
Although this scroll contains unknown terrors, it is his greatest asset in deterring other awakened individuals.
Absolutely must not be damaged!
Otherwise, if people find out, given what he's done, he wouldn't be spared even if he died ten thousand times!
and.
He looked behind him and found that the person had appeared five meters away!
The old man started to panic.
He immediately took out an eraser and rubbed the scroll for a while.
Eraser shavings fell.
The outline of the village was erased.
The red light that enveloped it began to fade and eventually disappeared.
The village ahead.
The dark clouds began to recede, and things returned to normal.
...
Five minutes ago.
Residential area near the village square.
In the courtyard of a three-story villa.
Yang Zhong sat on the ground, panting heavily.
His body was covered with bluish patches that emitted a putrid stench.
And all around him were blood and corpses.
Several barely alive survivors lay on the ground, their faces ashen, as if they had just experienced an unimaginable battle.
The companion with enhanced hearing was also leaning against the wall, covered in blood.
His skin had disappeared, and he looked grotesque and terrifying.
What is most striking is the black ear shaped like a human hand on the left side of his blood-red head.
At this moment, the ear, which had been twitching, began to slowly grow larger!
This is his enigmatic nature.
As he lay dying, preparations began to take over his body.
It was precisely because of this supernatural power that he remained alive, clinging to life and not dying completely.
"He's dying."
Yang Zhong rested for a moment, then staggered to his feet and helped up another teammate next to him.
This is a young man in his early twenties, wearing glasses, who looks somewhat shy.
His name is Zhao Yiming. Before entering the supernatural world, he was a recent college graduate looking for a job.
When the paranormal resurgence occurred, he was undergoing a job interview at a company.
As a result, they inexplicably became so-called survivors.
"That thing is too terrifying; it's something that people at our level can't possibly fight against."
Zhao Yiming shook his head, his face still showing fear.
No one expected that after the ceiling was smashed open, what appeared before everyone was a series of twisted arms!
These arms are holding hammers, and they smash anyone they see.
Several awakened individuals were crushed to death on the spot before they could even react.
Some of those who ran out of the house were chased out and smashed into a bloody pulp!
Seeing this, Yang Zhong immediately used his enhanced weapon to fight back. However, after only a few blows, he could no longer withstand the attack.
Almost every one of these arms possesses the strength of a second-tier expert!
In this situation, he had no choice but to retreat.
He used a reinforced iron plate as a shield, retreating while fighting.
In just a few blows, the iron plate was smashed through.
Although he wasn't hit, his body was covered in putrid patches!
Ultimately, with nowhere else to retreat, they risked leaving the yard, exposing themselves to the rain.
Those arms that had initially chased after the storm seemed unwilling to enter the area shrouded in torrential rain, and slowly retreated.
"It's definitely more dangerous in the rain."
Yang Zhong cautiously observed his surroundings.
Visibility was extremely low in the torrential rain, and he was terrified that some evil spirits might emerge.
After confirming that the arm had been returned to the house.
They quickly returned to the yard.
However, they dared not go inside, so they could only find a place to squat in the corner.
Although rain was falling into the courtyard, it wasn't as heavy as outside. The risk of being exposed to a vengeful ghost was even lower.
However, several awakened individuals who initially sustained minor injuries began to suffer aggravated injuries after venturing out of the courtyard and getting caught in the downpour.
Just as Yang Zhong and Zhao Yiming were praying that no evil spirits would approach.
Suddenly, a scream came from the house next door!

What happened?
Is there a vengeful ghost here?
Besides Yang Zhong and Zhao Yiming, there was another unknown survivor among the survivors.
He wasn't Yang Zhong's teammate; they just happened to take shelter in the house together when the rainstorm hit.
"Shh-"
Yang Zhong made a shushing gesture, then quietly walked to the wall and looked into the courtyard next door.
Immediately, his eyes narrowed.
He saw a fierce ghost wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, holding a blood-red umbrella, slowly walk into the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard gate lay several corpses.
"Damn it, how did this thing get here?"
Yang Zhong felt a chill run down his spine.
Although he had already seen these umbrella ghosts in the square, observing them up close still sent a chill down his spine.
Just by getting close, he felt the chilling aura emanating from this vengeful ghost was about to freeze him!
Snap—
Snap snap—
Snap snap snap—
The ghost's footsteps were very loud, like the sound of someone slapping the water's surface.
Yang Zhong moved his gaze downwards and found that its feet were blurry. It seemed to have a pair of feet, but it looked like a pirated short video, and he couldn't see them clearly.
As the vengeful ghost entered, the drizzle in the courtyard turned into a torrential downpour.
Not only that.
Even the three-story villa seemed to become blurry at this moment.
Yang Zhong could even vaguely see an old wooden house looming in the distance.
Those were the original buildings in the village.
Yang Zhong used to find this dilapidated house annoying, but now he feels a special sense of familiarity with it, since it represents safety.
However, this also means that the supernatural power contained in these brand-new villas was completely crushed by the vengeful ghost in front of them, and they couldn't even maintain their own existence.
"Damn it! Everyone spread out and climb over the wall!"
When the vengeful ghost entered the room, everyone in the next room panicked.
Someone shouted and rushed towards Yang Zhong.
Yang Zhong felt a pang of anxiety and instinctively wanted to hit him back.
Because if this person comes, they might bring a vengeful ghost with them!
However, his hand froze in mid-air!
The guy in front of me was really cool climbing over the wall, he even did a Thomas Flair, and he reappeared in the yard across the street!
"This courtyard has been sealed off by a vengeful ghost. No one can leave; even if you climb over the wall, you'll fall back into the courtyard."
Zhao Yiming, who was standing nearby, immediately understood what was going on when he saw this.
Yang Zhong lowered his hand, nodded slightly, and said nothing, only lowering his body.
He didn't want to attract the attention of the vengeful ghost on the other side.
The man who had climbed over the wall with such a cool posture was now standing in the courtyard with a bewildered look on his face, and in front of him was the vengeful ghost holding an umbrella.
Realizing his predicament, he immediately wanted to fight back.
A crack appeared on his palm, as if something was struggling to crawl out!
But the next moment, something appeared on his head.
It was a bright red umbrella.
Then, he lost consciousness.
They have fallen into an eternal slumber!
This scene terrified everyone in the courtyard once again.
"What do we do? Let's charge in together! I don't believe he can kill us all at once!"
Someone suggested anxiously.
As he spoke, he moved along the fence, trying to get as far away from the vengeful ghost as possible.
"If you want to charge, you go first. I'm not going."
"Damn it, we've come this far and you're still wasting time. The yard isn't that big, we'll all be killed by it sooner or later."
"This vengeful ghost seems to only kill one person at a time. I propose we all charge together, I'll count to three! Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate!"
"good!"
"This method works!"
"Then hurry up and shout, I'm ready!"
Faced with a life-or-death situation, some suggested that everyone rush in and whoever dies would be unlucky.
This proposal, which had a gambling element, immediately received the approval of most people.
⑻вOOк． com
Even Yang Zhong, who was looking across the wall, nodded unconsciously.
In this situation, facing an invincible vengeful spirit, this is the only method available.
However, when everyone charges together, there's a risk of someone secretly attacking.
No one wants to face a vengeful ghost.
In this situation, the only option is to push them towards becoming vengeful ghosts!
"I'm starting to count!"
Immediately, everyone tensed up!
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
"rush!"
The next moment.
Four or five people, like arrows released from a bow, bypassed the evil spirits and rushed towards the gate!
Extremely fast!
But... there were seventeen or eighteen people in that courtyard.
Holy crap!
Yang Zhong was dumbfounded when he saw this!
Paralyzed.
What's going on?
We agreed to rush out together, so why aren't you moving?
He originally thought that someone would try to sabotage them while they were rushing out, but he didn't expect that most people wouldn't even rush out!
"It's over, the trust between people is gone."
Yang Zhong shook his head.
What are these people thinking all day?
Having had this experience...
It's basically impossible to organize a joint operation in the next wave.
at the same time.
The four or five people who rushed towards the door left the courtyard without any hindrance!
The vengeful ghost, which had already moved to the middle of the courtyard, did not try to stop it.
"Holy crap, they actually went out?"
"Damn it, I should have charged in too."
"What's the point of rushing? Just go around it and you can get out!"
A group of guys who wanted to use others as guinea pigs were overjoyed when they saw that they could actually leave the house without any problems, and they wanted to do the same.
However, just as they were getting ready, something suddenly happened in the courtyard.
From the third floor of the villa, which had become indistinct, sheets of yellow paper began to float out and were quickly pasted around the perimeter of the yard.
These yellow papers look like the kind of paper money you buy when visiting graves, except they don't have holes and are larger.
As yellow paper was pasted in every corner of the courtyard, the courtyard that was about to disappear became clear again.
"Bang!"
A soft sound.
The courtyard gate, which had been open, was now closed.
Those awakened individuals who had already rushed to the door immediately tried to push it open.
However, it remained completely still.
"No way!"
The group of people were immediately dumbfounded.
Some were impatient and even tried to force the door open.
A burly man, about 1.9 meters tall, carrying a hammer, saw the gate was closed and immediately swung it, smashing it hard against the gate.
"Bang!"
A loud bang.
The gate remained completely still.
But his movements startled the yellow paper.
Faces began to appear on the originally blank sheets of paper.
These faces look incredibly lifelike, like skin that has been peeled off and pasted onto paper.
They all looked at the man with pale smiles.
Hehehehe.
An eerie sound began to echo in the courtyard.
⑻bσok． cΟm
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
The gate was tightly shut.
In desperation, the burly man swung a hammer, trying to smash open the door and escape the courtyard. As a result, the yellow paper pasted on the door underwent a strange change.
Faces began to appear on the yellow paper!
These faces included people of all ages and genders. They all wore malicious smiles and stared at the burly man.
Hehehehe.
A dark and eerie chuckled echoed in the courtyard.
As the laughter grew louder, the vengeful ghost with the red umbrella also changed.
He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a broken black knife.
Everyone present was shocked and frightened by what they saw.
This vengeful ghost is clearly about to unleash a massacre!
"Move aside, I'll do it!"
Some people were so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and they immediately used their abilities, trying to force their way through the wooden door together with the strong man!
"Me too!"
"I refuse to believe that a single door can stop so many of us!"
Let's give it our all!
The crowd started chattering amongst themselves.
In an instant, all sorts of bizarre abilities appeared and began attacking the wooden door.
A white shadow leaped out from the bodies of some survivors and quickly enveloped the wooden door. Then, the surface of the wooden door began to fade and peel, as if it had suddenly become old.
Some survivors' fists swelled to three times their normal size, shrouded in dark mist, and slammed into the door, causing the adjacent walls to tremble.
Some survivors' bodies were covered in frost, which began to spread and caused cracks to appear on the wooden door.
some...
All seventeen people, except for those in support roles, who were capable of attacking, went all out to break through the wooden door and find a way out!
Zhao Yiming and Yang Zhong, who were separated by only a wall, were also closely watching all of this.
They were also eager to know if so many survivors working together could carve out a way to survive!
However, the next moment.
The wooden door, which had started to peel, has become bright and shiny again.
The trembling crack in the door tightened again.
The cracks formed by the frost began to close.
...
Although all the damage caused to the wooden door, it returned to normal in just a few breaths.
How so?
Everyone was stunned; their eyes widened in disbelief.
It's one thing if they can't deal with the Red Umbrella Ghost.
But they were shocked that they couldn't even open a single door.
During the ten-odd days they entered the supernatural world, most people did not experience any truly despairing events, and life was relatively peaceful.
In addition, he gained special abilities.
Therefore, many people, though they don't say it, secretly regard themselves as superhumans who are above ordinary people.
Many people fantasize about what they would do if they could return to the real world.
Even the resurgence of supernatural phenomena in reality is just a minor issue in their eyes. If they could go back, they would surely become saviors!
However, the events that happened today have undoubtedly slapped them hard in the face.
It was only then that many people realized that when faced with the supernatural, the difference between them and ordinary people was simply that of a big ant and a small ant, and there was not much difference between them.
The real supernatural is nothing compared to the weak, mutated animals they usually kill!
...
Despite their combined attack, they failed to break through the door, instead enraging the yellow paper fluttering everywhere.
A cold wind swept through the courtyard, and more and more yellow papers flew in the sky. The faces on them began to change, and blood began to seep from their eyes, noses, and mouths.
Hehehehe
Amidst eerie chuckles, the yellow paper flew swiftly into the crowd.
"Get out of the way!"
The crowd gathered at the doorway scattered in fright.
In their panic, several people ran towards the red-umbrella ghost and even bumped into it.
"It's over."
Yang Zhong witnessed this scene and mourned for these people.
However, his face soon showed a look of astonishment.
Because after those people bumped into the vengeful ghost, they instinctively ran to the side and successfully got away from it!
"Why weren't they killed?"
Zhao Yiming, standing next to Yang Zhong, also looked astonished.
at this time.
The vengeful ghost holding the red umbrella ignored the people in the arena and the yellow papers flying everywhere, trying to get closer to it.
Its gaze seemed to pierce through the walls, penetrate the houses beside it, and extend into the distance.
8ВооK. com
Following his gaze, Yang Zhong vaguely saw black lightning flashing at the far end of the village.
But it's not very clear.
He wondered if some other terrifying ghost had entered the village.
Judging from the yellow paper's reaction, the vengeful ghost holding the umbrella is not in cahoots with the other ghosts in the village.
Otherwise, its entry into the courtyard wouldn't have provoked such a fierce confrontation from the vengeful spirit in the small building.
And now there's another unknown vengeful ghost that has just entered the village.
"Damn it, I'm probably going to die here today."
Yang Zhong and Zhao Yiming exchanged a glance and both gave a wry smile.
In the neighboring courtyard, the red-umbrella ghost stopped moving, but the yellow paper was still active.
Suddenly, a blood-stained yellow paper flew towards a survivor with a sinister grin, catching the survivor off guard and sticking the paper to their face!
"Waaaaah—"
A whimpering sound followed as the survivor frantically flailing his arms, trying to tear off the yellow paper.
"Pfft"
"ah--!"
A soft sound of paper being torn was followed by a scream.
As he tore off the yellow paper, his own face was also torn off in the process!
As the skin peeled off, the original face on the yellow paper disappeared, and the survivor's appearance was revealed.
Not only that, the newly replaced face also emitted a "hehehe" laugh.
His gaze swept over the survivor, who was clutching his face and screaming in agony, with a sinister look.
Your own face is smiling at you?
This scene sent a chill down the spines of everyone present!
"Don't let them stick to your face!"
The burly man with the hammer waved his weapon and shouted loudly.
Perhaps because he was the first to attack the gate, he was surrounded by the most yellow papers!
He kept swinging the hammer in resistance.
Each strike could shatter a piece of yellow paper several meters apart!
But it didn't work.
The yellow paper was unharmed.
They only stayed for a few seconds before swarming back in!
Damn it!
"Get out of my way!"
The burly man roared repeatedly, his body growing hotter and redder as if he had a fever!
That's his ability.
It can triple one's power and always has the ability to harm the supernatural!
However, the downside is that excessive use can lead to fever.
Moreover, this fever will gradually increase with continued use, eventually leading to the failure of all organs!
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
...
Eight.
More and more yellow papers rushed toward the burly man.
The burly man's body began to show signs of fatigue, and his eyes started to become somewhat glazed.
Eventually, his hand went limp.
The hammer, which had been wielded so tightly that it seemed impenetrable, eventually developed a hole.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, a piece of yellow paper was instantly stuck to his face!
"Waaaaah"
The feeling of suffocation immediately filled the strong man's mind.
He instinctively tried to struggle.
But the yellow paper next to it also rushed over.
One.
Two.
Three!
Three more pieces of yellow paper were pasted onto his face!
His body began to turn dark purplish-red, his head began to swell, and his struggling movements began to slow down.
final.
He fell to the ground.

From the moment the strong man was covered with yellow paper until he suffocated to death.
Only one minute had passed.
Let alone an awakened individual with enhanced physical abilities, even an ordinary person could not die in such a short time.
The only explanation is that supernatural forces accelerated this suffocation!
The burly man's death seemed to provoke the yellow paper, which then surged wildly toward the others.
"Everyone, quickly stick together and don't get separated."
"Quickly form a circle!"
"Damn it, this shitty toilet paper, fuck it!"
Seeing that the red-umbrella ghost did not make a move, the crowd grew bolder and quickly gathered together, forming a circle to deal with the yellow paper's attack.
Although these yellow papers are troublesome, their grade is not high.
Although a few people had yellow paper stuck to their faces when they gathered, most people still managed to get together.
after.
With their help, they managed to stop the attack of these vengeful ghosts!
Everyone was energized, seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, and thus worked even harder!
only.
Yang Zhong frowned upon seeing this scene.
"These yellow papers aren't scary, so why can't we open the wooden door? Could it be that the yellow papers aren't what's sealing the door?"
"Moreover, when the red-umbrella ghost entered the courtyard, it clearly affected this house, but now the house has returned to normal."
"Logically speaking, these yellow papers shouldn't be able to fight against the evil spirit under the red umbrella!"
"Could there be something even more terrifying inside the house?"
He glanced at the house across the street with a gloomy look, then turned back to look at the building on his side.
While I was pondering this.
Suddenly, screams rang out again from outside.
Yang Zhong turned around, his expression changing drastically!
...
Outside the village.
In the fields.
After Jiang Qiao killed two vengeful ghosts, no third or fourth appeared.
He didn't know if this was because there were no more vengeful ghosts, or because his ghost realm had severed the connection between the inside and outside.
He tidied himself up.
Looking towards the eerie darkness at the end of the field.
With his double pupils already at the third tier, his penetrating gaze has increased several times over!
Under the gray vision, everything hidden in the darkness disappeared.
There are no densely packed arms.
There were also no rows of constantly moving ghost feet.
There was no thick black smog either.
At the end of the line of sight, there was a wall covered in the marks of time.
It was covered in moss and scratches.
Some were left by swords and knives, some by cannonballs and guns, and some looked like they were dug out by hand!
On one side of the wall, an old wooden door was tightly closed.
A rusty iron chain was wrapped around the doorknob.
"Was everything we just saw an illusion created by the ghost realm?"
Jiang Qiao looked at the wall and felt somewhat bewildered.
He waved his hand, and huge, blade-shaped talismans rushed toward the wooden door.
These talismans, capable of repelling fourth-tier evil spirits, instantly left marks on the door.
However, upon seeing this scene, Jiang Qiao's expression grew even more solemn.
He suddenly thought of a question.
This place is a ghost town!
This ghostly realm even harbors fifth-order vengeful spirits!
And there was more than one.
Although these vengeful ghosts are in somewhat abnormal states, their strength is genuine!
In this situation.
Why is there a wooden door on a wall that surrounds a village, which seems easy to break through?
(8) BООК·COM
"After breaking through this wooden door, there is a high probability that something unexpected will happen."
"If it's a vengeful ghost, then so be it."
"If it connects to another supernatural space, or summons some evil thing, then the problem is serious."
Jiang Qiao's eyes flickered.
He originally thought those few people outside the village were just a bunch of petty scoundrels.
I never expected that they would possess such a high level of supernatural items.
Having experienced simulations, he deeply understands that the supernatural world hides many incomprehensible things.
Not far from the village, in the Forest of Betrayal, if you walk to the end, you will find a swamp.
Hidden within the swamp is a strange pool of water, inhabited by terrifying monsters capable of instantly killing even a peak sixth-tier expert!
besides.
During one of his simulations, he entered the supernatural world at the eighth level. He simply lit a brazier, which summoned what appeared to be a divine eyeball, which he eventually destroyed.
Therefore, he couldn't be sure what was inside the door.
"Even with all eighteen talents, I still find it hard to survive in the supernatural world."
"How are ordinary people supposed to live like this?"
Jiang Qiao was somewhat moved.
Just then, he suddenly sensed a ghostly aura coming from afar.
This ghostly energy was absorbed into the body through the "see-it-all" talent.
The sudden influx of money left Jiang Qiao, who was deep in thought, somewhat bewildered.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Turn around and look behind you.
He discovered that, without him noticing, the sky above that area of the village had transformed into a waterfall.
The ghostly aura emanated from the source of the waterfall, high in the sky.
"The fifth-tier vengeful ghost has no ghostly aura, but a ghostly aura has inexplicably appeared in the dark clouds."
Jiang Qiao squinted at the scene.
"Every ghostly realm has a source. It may be an awakened being, an evolved being, or a vengeful ghost or other supernatural monster."
"Judging from the current situation, the red umbrella ghost seems more like an incarnation of some other ghost, otherwise it would be impossible for it to be completely devoid of ghostly energy."
"Moreover, judging from the chat channel, there are many more fierce ghosts with umbrellas appearing in the square."
"But if the clones can reach the fifth rank, or even the peak of the fifth rank, what level must the source be?"
"Sixth rank?"
"And it might not even be an ordinary sixth-tier clone. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to create so many fifth-tier clones."
Jiang Qiao took a deep breath.
I cursed inwardly.
They're going straight for the sixth tier right off the bat? Is this some kind of beginner's village?
More like a crematorium!
Damn it.
Feeling a slight headache, Jiang Qiao looked at the wall in the distance and finally made a decision!
"The wooden door can't be moved casually, so shall I climb over the wall and take a look?"
The idea flashed through my mind a few times before finally turning into action.
He strode out of the field and into the darkness that enveloped him!
Under the gray vision, there was nothing around, and Jiang Qiao was not attacked in any way.
This suddenly piqued his interest.
The next moment.
He closed his double pupils!
The moment the gray vision disappeared, darkness surged in from all around.
And all around him, hurried footsteps began to sound.
The footsteps were very dense, as if many people were surrounding the river bridge.
"Very real."
A flame appeared in Jiang Qiao's hand.
Under the pale green light, a dense crowd of people appeared in front of the river bridge!
The eyes of these people had been gouged out, leaving only two bloody holes.
Their mouths are wide open, but they have no tongue or teeth inside; instead, they are filled with dense needles!
It was as if these needles were what prevented them from closing their mouths.
⑧ЬοОK.COM

After disabling the gray vision, the surroundings turned dark again.
A chilly wind swept by, carrying an ominous air.
Footsteps sounded from all directions, indicating that a large group of people were gathering around.
Upon hearing the noise, Jiang Qiao produced a spark in his hand, its eerie green light temporarily illuminating the vicinity.
In an instant.
What appeared before his eyes was a stack of human heads.
These people had expressions of pain on their faces.
Their mouths were wide open, and inside were countless needles.
As the light appeared.
Their eyes, now gouged out, stared blankly at Jiang Qiao.
At that moment, Jiang Qiao also had a vague sense of unease.
The next moment, his body began to tremble violently, and he vomited large amounts of blood.
Damn it!
Jiang Qiao opened his double pupils again.
A gray vision replaced everything. The dark and terrifying environment vanished, leaving only a mottled wall in its place.
But he was still spitting out mouthfuls of blood, and steel needles seemed to grow out of thin air from his tongue like weeds.
"day."
Cursing under his breath, Jiang Qiao took out his flintlock pistol and shot himself in the heart.
The next moment, he returned to normal and stopped vomiting blood.
The steel needle that was growing in his mouth also disappeared.
However, on his body, a large hole had appeared in the heart area of a substitute doll. Not only that, blood began to seep from the corner of its mouth.
It looks extremely ferocious!
This curse is not simple.
He threw the surrogate doll in his hand to the ground, looking somewhat surprised.
Under normal circumstances.
Fatal injuries will passively trigger the substitution effect, while non-fatal injuries can also be actively triggered to allow a substitute doll to take the damage.
But he just discovered that when the curse appeared on him, he couldn't transfer it!
It's not a transfer failure.
Even though his mouth was full of needles, he still couldn't sense the existence of this curse!
This was somewhat unbelievable to him.
Fortunately, the passive effect of the Life Substitution Technique is a true life-for-life exchange, using the life of a puppet to replace one's own.
So he successfully broke free from the curse.
Otherwise, things might have gone wrong today!
This made him even more vigilant.
There are many kinds of vengeful spirits, and all sorts of curses are constantly emerging.
Never assume that a certain skill can solve everything!
You might encounter a powerful ghost that can bypass your ability mechanism or even counter your ability, and then you'll be in trouble!
"Don't provoke those vengeful spirits in the darkness for now."
It's meaningless.
Jiang Qiao, with his double pupils open, walked all the way to the wall.
He didn't really understand either, without opening the Ghost Realm.
With just his gray vision, he could understand why those vengeful ghosts had disappeared, and he was no longer attacked by any of them.
It's as if the two exist in different times and spaces because of their different perspectives.
"Could it be like in the game, there's a dual world here, with an inner and an outer one?"
"Can my double pupils see the surface world?"
"And because of the characteristic that double pupils can see and touch anything, I am directly in the surface world, isolated from those vengeful ghosts?"
As Jiang Qiao guessed, he reached out and grabbed a crack in the wall, quickly climbing upwards.
The enhancement he receives from the Invincible Body is comprehensive.
8book.com
He has now reached a terrifying level in terms of physical strength, flexibility, power, and reaction speed.
With the added immunity to crowd control and damage reduction from his invincibility, he can directly engage in melee combat with the fierce ghosts!
So bypassing the Great Firewall isn't difficult at all.
He kept climbing, the cool, slippery sensation stimulating his palms.
The walls are made of blue bricks, covered with marks of all sizes.
Some were left by swords, some by guns, some by hammers, and Jiang Qiao even saw scratch marks that looked like they were made by fingers.
"Can someone carve out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment from a wall?"
Jiang Qiao stopped what he was doing and touched the marks with his hand.
One of the long scratches caught his attention.
He measured it with his hand, making a comparison in his mind.
"It looks like someone climbed up to this spot and then slipped off the wall for some reason. There are marks left by fingers dragging on the wall, otherwise they wouldn't be this long."
"However, this person can leave marks on the wall, so he must not be an ordinary person."
The scene from that time flashed through his mind.
Perhaps, that person was actually pulled down by something?
Jiang Qiao observed for a while, then climbed up again. He quickly reached the top, a height of over twenty meters.
However, when he looked down, he was taken aback.
Because the other side of the wall wasn't the normal supernatural world, but the center of the village square!
The wall, which was originally more than 20 meters high, has now been reduced to 3 meters high.
He turned around and found a small building behind him, and he was standing on the courtyard wall of the building!
There are no more blue brick walls surrounding the village.
"Damn, this supernatural space is amazing. It sent me back to the village without me even noticing."
Jiang Qiao looked at the vengeful ghosts that kept wandering around the square with a speechless expression.
I was screaming "WTF!" in my head!
His appearance also filled the survivors at the entrance of the small building behind him with terror.
In the eyes of these people, the river bridge appeared out of thin air on the wall.
In this situation, what else could it be but a vengeful ghost?
"Everyone be careful, a vengeful ghost has appeared on the wall."
"He doesn't seem like a vengeful ghost. He looks more like a living person to me."
"How is that possible? We just tried, and we can't get over the wall at all. How could a living person suddenly appear up there?"
The crowd discussed amongst themselves, watching Jiang Qiao with tension.
Jiang Qiao glanced at the people behind him, then looked up from the first-floor door.
Although the walls on the second and third floors possessed supernatural powers, they could not block his view.
He could clearly see rusty hooks hanging from the ceiling on the second floor, swaying constantly.
These hooks look a lot like the hooks used to hang meat at meat stalls in the market.
"Very weak."
Jiang Qiao gave a comment.
Then, his gaze followed the second floor to the third floor.
What appeared before his eyes was a white coffin placed on a bench.
Incense sticks were inserted around the coffin, enveloping the entire room in smoke.
But strangely enough...
The smoke didn't seep out, as if it were sealed inside the room by something.
"This is unbelievable."
"I've seen black coffins, red coffins, and unpainted wooden coffins. But this is the first time I've ever seen a white coffin."
Jiang Qiao frowned.
There's a saying that if something seems out of the ordinary, there's something fishy going on.
This white coffin is probably not a good thing.
Because he found himself unable to see through it.
So what kind of weird stuff is inside is also unknown to him.

Just as Jiang Qiao was observing the white coffin on the third floor.
In the torrential rain, several strange figures moved rapidly toward him.
A chilling aura, like sharp swords, pointed towards Jiangqiao.
"Um?"
The torrential rain, like a waterfall, can cause visibility to almost disappear.
However, this problem does not exist for Jiangqiao.
He could see through the rain without any obstruction and saw the vengeful ghosts approaching one by one, each holding an umbrella.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five!
Five vengeful ghosts!
Three of them had been wandering around the square, while the other two were originally planning to enter some residences.
The appearance of the river bridge stopped them in their tracks, and they headed this way!
It seems that dealing with Jiang Qiao is a higher priority than dealing with others.
"Have they come to seek revenge on me?"
Jiang Qiao looked at the approaching hordes of fierce ghosts and immediately understood.
So he decided to strike first!
The next moment, the double pupils began to jump.
A gray aura emanated from him, spreading rapidly!
The torrential rain that had been pouring down suddenly disappeared under this gray hue.
Because the gate was not closed, even the survivors hiding in the corners of the courtyard and by the gate could clearly see what was happening outside.
"Has the rain stopped?"
"No, it's that gray color that's blocking the rain!"
"What kind of supernatural power is this that can drive away this torrential rain... Look, those vengeful ghosts..."
"Holy crap! Isn't that the ghost with the umbrella? Why isn't it moving?"
"They're not standing still, they seem to have slowed down!"
"But..."
Everyone stared in astonishment at the scene before them, their hearts filled with utter horror.
These vengeful ghosts with umbrellas have witnessed terror.
Many people who didn't have time to escape chose to confront them head-on.
But without exception, they all died.
And he died silently.
The vengeful ghost thrust the umbrella forward, and the person instantly turned cold.
They were utterly powerless to resist!
This filled everyone with a sense of horror and dread.
So they hid inside the house, partly because the torrential rain could cause them to fall ill, and partly to avoid these wandering, terrifying ghosts!
But what do they see now?
An entity, whether human or ghost, sat on the wall, emanating a gray aura that enveloped the vengeful spirits.
The vengeful ghost seemed to be in slow motion, making every movement incredibly difficult!
"Quick, send it to the chat channel."
Someone secretly took a picture of the scene and posted it in the system's chat channel.
Immediately, chaos erupted inside!
Although everyone is playing PUBG, the chat channel is controlled by thought, so it doesn't prevent them from discussing and sharing information in it.
"Holy crap, are these ghosts fighting each other?"
Someone asked in shock.
"It's possible. Just now, a group of vengeful ghosts rushed out of the small building in the courtyard next to mine and clashed with a vengeful ghost with a red umbrella."
Someone shared their observations.
"Damn it, the Red Umbrella Ghost was already terrifying enough, and now there's a monster that can take on several ghosts. I think we should just commit suicide."
"Yeah, yeah. Isn't this supposed to be the newbie village? I asked in the regional chat, and no village has encountered our current situation."
"I've also inquired about it. They say there's an organization called the Blessing Society that specializes in attacking newbie villages. We might have run into them."
"Holy crap, is this organization that powerful? But we have no grudge against them, so why are they attacking us?"

"I don't know, the people over there didn't say, sigh."
"Forget it, I'm not going to run away anymore. There are ghosts in this building too. I barely managed to escape and haven't even had a chance to catch my breath yet. Oh well, I'm going to die sooner or later anyway, so I might as well just leave it at that."
The already pessimistic atmosphere in the chat channel became even more desperate after the appearance of this video.
"Is it possible that this thing on the wall... is actually a person?"
Suddenly, a message popped up in the chat channel.
This message was like a pause button being pressed.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
However, the next moment, angry curses exploded throughout the channel!
"You son of a bitch, use your pig brain! How can this be a living person?"
"Heh, are you possessed? Mistaking a vengeful ghost for a human? Then go up and ask him if he's your long-lost father?"
"Where did this idiot come from? Don't even mention our newbie village, there's no way there could be such an expert in any other village in the region."
"I told them about the situation in the village a long time ago, but they made it clear that even if they encountered it themselves, they would suffer heavy casualties. These umbrella-wielding ghosts are at least level three!"
"If this were a human, I'd eat shit upside down! If not, all you have left is a cremation certificate, okay?"
"Lai Yuejing? Heh, I can tell what kind of background you have just by looking at your name."
"..."
The desperate and repressed crowd seemed to have found an outlet, and seized this person to unleash their fury.
They wanted to release all their inner fears.
However, very soon.
Lai Yuejing sent another message.
"This person…I really have seen him before…He lives in the second house on the west side of the village…I live in the first house, and I've seen him before."
However.
Nobody listened to him.
Everyone was hurling insults at him.
"roll!"
...
Jiang Qiao was frozen in place the moment the vengeful ghost was immobilized.
It moved!
He flipped off the wall, but the moment he landed, he appeared behind a vengeful ghost.
With a swift stroke, the knife fell!
The kitchen knife, which even appears to have some chips, possesses incredible sharpness.
With a single slash, the vengeful ghost was cleaved in two from head to tail!
A terrifying scream rang out from the ghost's mouth.
However, even this sound was drawn out in the ghost realm.
"Call me your mother."
Jiang Qiao showed no mercy, his cleaver flashing across the blade!
The vengeful ghost quickly turned into a pile of fragments in his hands.
Immediately afterwards.
Green flames ignited, turning the fragments to ashes.
It took less than thirty seconds in total.
A fifth-tier vengeful ghost was slain by Jiang Qiao!
Even though it wasn't the first time, Jiang Qiao was still shocked.
The power boost from the double pupils to his ghostly aura was astonishing!
His own level is only fourth rank.
With the added benefits of critical hits and armor penetration, it possesses the combat power of a fifth-tier character.
With the "Fierce Spirit Kitchen Knife" in hand, one can fight against a senior Fiery Ghost of the fifth rank.
This is his true strength.
After all, although the Fiendish Cleaver is powerful, its own strength is insufficient, and it is not easy for it to truly fight against a peak fifth-tier opponent.
However, after the double pupils awakened the ghost realm, the fifth-order vengeful ghosts became meat on the chopping board in front of him!
He even had a feeling.
My strength is now enough to contend with a sixth-tier opponent!
A fourth-tier battle against a sixth-tier opponent.
This is absolutely outrageous!
