The delivery ghost was very careful, afraid that Bai Wei would be angry and that things would be difficult for him in the future. He explained, "Just now, my body had most of its power reduced by the rules. If I want to make takeout that can boost physical strength, my body's strength is not enough to support it. I'm afraid I might be destroyed."
Bai Wei glared angrily at the delivery ghost and threw the remaining packaging waste at him: "What use are you? I knew I shouldn't have made a contract with you."
The delivery ghost was disliked and called a useless ghost, which made the whole ghost feel terrible. It said listlessly, "Master, it's not my fault. If you had made a contract with me immediately, my body wouldn't have lost so much power."
"Furthermore, the takeout that can boost physical strength can only be claimed once a month, which is limited. My ability cannot be used indefinitely. Similarly, it only allows one person to boost their physical strength once, not for someone to continuously improve their physical strength."
Bai Wei's mood soured immediately after her idea ofcontinuously improving her physical strength was shattered.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, the delivery ghost quickly explained its purpose, trying to increase its value: "Although I can't make takeout to increase your stamina, I have a better use. I can protect you. If anyone attacks you, I can rush to protect you, but your safety can be improved by a level."
Bai Wei retorted impatiently, "What if it's a ghost stronger than you?"
Too lazy to deal with the ghost, I picked up my backpack and went into the room. I threw the backpack on the bed, collapsed onto the bed, and fell asleep soon after. I was exhausted from dealing with the delivery ghost.
The delivery ghost immediately fell silent and floated to the bedside to await its master's instructions.
Bai Wei woke up at five in the afternoon, yawned, felt hungry, took out something to eat, and not long after she finished eating, the doorbell rang. Bai Wei stood up and went to the door, and saw Zhou Yu through the peephole.
He had a large backpack on his back and two bags in his hands, pressing the doorbell with difficulty.
Bai Wei asked the delivery ghost to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a ghostly face appeared and met Zhou Yu's gaze. Zhou Yu was startled and screamed, "Ah!"
The sound pierced the sky and reverberated in our ears.
Bai Wei peeked out guiltily, staring at Zhou Yu, who was lying on the ground and crawling backward.
He said awkwardly, "Zhou Yu, are you alright?"
Zhou Yu was dumbfounded, and her vigilance immediately increased: "Little sister, come here quickly, there's a ghost ahead."
Hearing this, the delivery ghost was very unhappy and wanted to continue scaring Zhou Yu.
Bai Wei walked forward guiltily, blocking the mischievous delivery ghost, and recounted what had happened before, explaining why this ghost had appeared here.
After hearing the whole story, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Little sister, don't scare people like that again."
Bai Wei was displeased and reminded her, "Don't call me 'little sister' anymore. I have a name, and my name is Bai Wei."
Zhou Yu didn't care. He stood up and curiously turned the delivery ghost around. He reached out to touch it, but the ghost passed right through his body and felt cold and nothing special.
"So this is what ghosts are like. I thought they were like zombies. If that's the case, then ghosts can walk through walls."
After studying it for a while, Zhou Yu took the initiative to say, "I've packed my things, and I'd like to come over and leave with you."
"One more person means one more effort."
"I've never done a dungeon before, aren't you afraid I'll hold you back?" Bai Wei probed.
Zhou Yu squatted down and tidied up the things that had fallen on the ground, putting them into the bag: "You wouldn't do that, and I can't leave a little girl like you in a dangerous place either."

Bai Wei didn't reply, but simply said, "Wait for me a moment, I'll pack a few sets of clothes."
Bai Wei returned to her room, packed several sets of clothes, a down jacket, a toothbrush, toothpaste, towels, and other personal items, all into her suitcase, and pushed her backpack out on top of the suitcase.
Seeing the delivery guy, he thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have a way to carry all this luggage, or is there any personal storage space to put it in?"
The delivery guy's face fell down. The owner really thought of it as an omnipotent ghost. With such great power, how could she still be bound to it by contract?
Thinking bitterly to himself, he said helplessly, "Master, I am just a low-level monster."
Bai Wei's face darkened, and she said disdainfully, "I thought ghosts were so powerful, but it turns out you're the weakest among them."
She holds grudges. Don't forget that this ghost tried to kill her and eat her flesh before. It took advantage of her vulnerability to try and make her regain her name. Luckily, the attempt to kill her was stopped in time, otherwise she would have been the one in trouble.
The delivery ghost had no idea that for some time to come, it would be exploited by its owner to the point of having no rights as a ghost.
"Is it alright if you help me with my luggage?"
The delivery ghost chuckled and waved its hand in mid-air, then came over and materialized its hand, carrying the luggage and following behind.
Staring at the pair of humans and ghosts walking together, Zhou Yu suddenly felt a little envious.
"You're such a good little devil."
good!
Bai Wei was exasperated: "Are you sure ghosts are docile? Don't forget that the ghosts you encountered before could easily kill you. First, figure out how dangerous and terrifying ghosts are. They might show their claws when they seem docile."
Just a reminder, Zhou Yu thought about how she had been killed by a ghost before and barely escaped. Still feeling lingering fear, she looked up at the delivery ghost again and felt a little scared. She took several steps back and kept a distance from the delivery ghost. Her cute filter collapsed.
My heart has been broken several times.
I think this little girl is really not cute; she always seems to be putting people down.
But she's right, all those cute ghosts are liars.
He said dryly, "You're right. With my current 50 ghost coins, I can't afford to raise a ghost. I'm afraid the contract would require using my own organs as a price, which I can't afford, I can't afford."
Bai Wei looked at the corridor, which was covered in blood and had a foul stench that was spreading throughout the entire floor, affecting everyone's mood: "The elevator is not working right now, so we can only use the emergency stairwell. You have already experienced the Infinite Stairs once, but I haven't. You may have to wait a while before I can leave with you and explore the next floor after I have to go through that dungeon."
When it came to serious matters, Zhou Yu solemnly said, "Okay! Be careful in everything you do. Inside is endless darkness, and darkness can awaken the deepest fear in a person's heart."
"Passing through the infinite staircase sounds difficult, yet it also seems simple. The key lies in your mindset. As long as you have no fear, your heart is firm, and you are not disturbed by external things, you can pass through. So don't be afraid, but be cautious. Remember, no matter what temptations are outside, don't open your eyes."
Bai Wei remembered the other person's instructions and came to the stairwell with Zhou Yu.
"You wait for me here."
"Good."
Bai Wei stood at the entrance to the stairs and looked down into endless darkness, yet with a hint of light.
Take a deep breath, suppress your inner tension, clench your fists tightly, and without hesitation step into that menacing abyss.

Bai Wei felt her surroundings suddenly change. The world, which was originally dimly lit, became dark, and a staircase appeared in front of her, endlessly spiraling downwards with no end in sight.
Strangely, she could sense the direction of the stairs.
The delivery ghost appeared after her arrival, standing obediently beside him without saying a word.
Looking around for any clues, all I could find was that the delivery guy had followed me, but I couldn't find any information that would be of any use to me.
Bai Wei would never take any risks before she had figured things out.
"Has the delivery guy detected any danger?"
"I didn't find anything, but Master, you should talk to me less, since we're in a dungeon."
What impact will this have?
"In the eyes of the dungeon, I am just an insignificant outsider ghost. As long as I do not infringe on their interests, they will not attack me. If I make the first move, the two sides will fight. However, my current strength is much weaker than theirs, and I am no match for them in this field."
Bai Wei became wary after hearing the delivery ghost's explanation, and tried to speak as little as possible while making things clear: "Then you should contact me less, but if you discover any danger, you should remind me in advance, or if I encounter danger, you should help me get through it."
"Yes."
Bai Wei did not close her eyes as Zhou Yu had instructed, but instead walked with her eyes open, observing her surroundings.
Without any movement, Bai Wei took a few more steps and noticed a subtle change. What had felt warm before now felt a bit cold.
As you continue down, the surrounding environment changes from the unchanging staircase to a foul, fishy smell that gradually spreads from the stairs.
Bai Wei frowned, stopped moving forward, and covered her nose with her hand to ease the smell that kept creeping into her nostrils. However, the smell was like a leech, constantly crawling into her nose, making her feel a little dizzy.
Startled, I took a few steps back, but the smell didn't dissipate; it followed me like a shadow.
My scalp felt a little numb, and my heart was pounding.
Faced with this situation, Bai Wei did not close his eyes. He couldn't just close his eyes and face everything he knew, thinking that he could just pass the level and be done with it.
Countless more dungeons and even more terrifying monsters await her.
If she were to back down in the face of this danger, she might as well not live at all.
Therefore, she had to train herself to face whatever she was afraid of, and to adapt to whatever she disliked or felt disgusted by.
Even if you're eating delicious food in the toilet, you have to swallow it.
So what if I feel disgusted? As long as I can eat, I can do anything to survive.
This is a form of training. Knowing her own shortcomings, she must train herself to become a brave knight, forging ahead fearlessly.
She learned that the Wireless Staircase dungeon could increase mental strength by 2 points.
How the other party enhances human mental strength is something that can never be guessed.
After she came in, she discovered that the way to improve one's mental strength was to train one's own mental willpower and increase one's tolerance for things one disliked.
For example, if a girl is afraid of soft-bodied animals such as snakes and leeches, as long as she overcomes her fear, she can grab the things she dislikes with her bare hands without fear, which represents that she has sublimated to a certain level and improved her mental strength.
However, tolerance doesn't mean being able to withstand all fear. If it exceeds her tolerance, she might break down. So when she can't take it anymore, she will close her eyes and walk out of the instance.
If you've endured it, then continue to train yourself.
That's right, she came into the Infinite Staircase to train herself.

After all, the world has changed, and if you don't strengthen yourself, you will be eliminated one day.
Bai Wei possesses an inexhaustible supply of ghost money, but that doesn't mean everything. It can't buy anything. Sometimes, relying on others is not as good as relying on yourself.
Bai Wei lowered her hand and stopped covering her nose.
Keep going, relax, try to bear the stench, and stop if you really can't stand it anymore.
But the smell was really awful; at that moment, she felt her scalp tingling and her head spinning.
Stepping down a step, a soft "poof" sound rang out, and the texture felt incredibly sticky.
I lifted my foot, and it felt like something was dripping down my shoe.
Disgusted, she bent over, one hand supporting her stomach, and dry heaved.
That was blood, countless amounts of blood.
It kept flowing down the stairs, a crimson mess. My body was tense, and I kept walking down with one foot. The sticky feeling made me want to jump back immediately.
Bai Wei is resilient and has a strong will; if she wants to become stronger, she can only work hard to overcome her weaknesses.
He secretly resolved never to back down, suppressing the overwhelming stench of blood that made him want to vomit, and continued to walk slowly, step by step.
The blood was very fresh, and gradually turned dark red as I walked.
It seems that this did not scare Bai Wei. The other party was very angry and made the surroundings even more terrifying and disgusting.
There were many maggots in the blood below, rolling and writhing one by one in the blood.
Bai Wei felt extremely nauseous and couldn't bear it any longer, so she vomited up the food she had eaten. Her face turned pale and she felt weak all over.
She underestimated the Infinite Staircase instance; she didn't expect it to change based on one person's adaptation.
I dared not go any further, so I stood still, closed my eyes to give myself a chance to catch my breath, and stopped looking and sensing, which made me feel much better.
When she recovered, Bai Wei barely opened her eyes. The disgusting white, soft-bodied maggots were still writhing in her blood, seemingly sucking it away and turning it into more maggots. Then the blood disappeared, leaving only clumps of maggots piled together. Bai Wei, who had just calmed down, almost vomited up her dinner from the night before.
I didn't expect this dungeon to be so disgusting. I thought I would be scared by ghosts, but I ended up being disgusted by some disgusting things instead.
After a while, Bai Wei took one step down the stairs, still on top of the disgusting, writhing insects. She tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and suppressed the urge to vomit. Once she had adjusted and was mentally prepared, she slowly opened her eyes and stared at the insects.
She walked down step by step, and after the insects had no effect on her at all, the scene changed again.
The insects grew larger, their writhing bodies crawling up her shoes, trying to climb onto her body.
Bai Wei shook the insects off as she walked, but there were just too many of them.
No matter how hard she tried to shake it off, it wouldn't budge. It climbed from his shoes to his legs, then to her waist, and the soft, sticky feeling sent shivers down her spine.
He stumbled and almost lost his footing, falling down the stairs.
"It's not disgusting, it's not disgusting."
"I can definitely do it, what's there to be afraid of?"
The constant prompting worked; he shakily reached out, grabbed the plump, sticky worm, and tossed it out as if it were on fire. His head felt like it was about to explode, but he kept throwing them down one by one. He got used to it, became numb, and adapted.
I almost went crazy from disgust many times.

Bai Wei endured it all and bravely moved forward, undeterred.
After a while, the insects on the ground slowly disappeared, the blood dried up, forming a dark red film on the ground, emitting a fishy stench.
It appeared extremely eerie and deep in the darkness.
As one foot stepped down, the scenery changed again. Leeches crawled on the ground, and water slowly flowed down the stairs behind.
His shoes were soaked through as more and more eerie leeches crawled onto them, their suction so strong that he couldn't get rid of them no matter what he did.
They dared not use their hands, nor did they dare take off their shoes.
It was locked in a stalemate with the leeches on the ground.
Having previously encountered insects and the stench of blood, I wasn't so afraid of these mollusks. My only fear was that the leeches would get into my skin and suck my blood.
There was no other way, so I quickly ran down, but no matter how hard I ran, I couldn't get out of the place where these mollusks were.
As expected, the infinite staircase is infinite; it will present whatever it wants you to see.
I watched helplessly as the insects crawled onto my body, onto my legs, and burrowed into my skin.
My legs were crawling with leeches, and I felt a piercing pain as they sucked the blood from my body.
My legs felt weak, and my whole body was pale.
We're taking it one difficult step at a time, but the situation is only getting worse.
Leeches kept crawling all over me on the road, giving me goosebumps all over. I wondered if there was any way to peel these very sticky leeches off me.
Use your hands to peel off the leeches that have stuck to your hands, but don't try to pierce them through your fingers.
I almost cried because I couldn't take it anymore; it was so agonizing.
It's disgusting enough, but it also sucks blood.
There's no way to deal with them.
I quickly closed my eyes, wanting to move forward.
But the leeches kept burrowing into my body, and countless pains swept over me, like being slowly sliced apart, the pain of having pieces of flesh cut off one by one, making it impossible to even faint.
She was perfectly conscious, but the pain in her bone marrow wouldn't let her go.
The two women were completely exhausted, as if all their blood had been drained. They collapsed onto the stairs. Countless leeches surged toward her chest, like hungry wolves pouncing on a lamb, burrowing into her head and body. Even with countless leeches inside her head, she did not lose consciousness and could continue to feel the pain.
She watched as her flesh was systematically Devoured by countless leeches at a remarkably fast pace, leaving only clean bones.
This feeling could drive someone mad, but she didn't; she remained perfectly clear-headed.
I feel like I'm going crazy. Is this a hallucination? Otherwise, how come she's still alive?
Yes, it seems like the whole process from top to bottom is an illusion, otherwise the surrounding environment couldn't have changed so quickly.
Moreover, if there is danger, the delivery ghost was asked to come out and help, but it might not help now.
But even with her eyes closed, she couldn't escape the torment of this illusion unless she was driven mad by the torment, corrupted, and became nourishment for this instance, turning into something eerie.
The thought sent chills down my spine. My only treasure, and even closing my eyes couldn't eliminate the current crisis. The only way was to keep going, trying out various illusions. As long as I didn't get lost in them, maybe I could leave this place.
This is just a guess and cannot be confirmed, but it is a reasonable one.
8ЬOOK． сoм
We can only take it one step at a time.
As the leeches on the ground slowly disappeared, she gradually regained control of her body, stood up on a skeleton, and discovered that her body had regrown and returned to its original, living form.
It felt incredibly magical to him, but he already knew it was a ghostly illusion, not reality.
Even if it's not real, it's hard to tell the difference between real and fake.
If someone enters this instance without knowing the risks and tries to clear it with their eyes closed, they'll either be scared to death or driven crazy.
As expected, the subsequent guesses confirmed the idea.
Bai Wei continued walking down, and the surrounding environment changed, turning into snakes that kept writhing, as if they were tied together with hemp rope.
It kept wriggling towards her, and despite her struggles, she was eaten piece by piece, just like with a leech.
As she recovered and continued on her journey, facing a constant stream of different ways to die—being eaten by ants, poisoned by mosquitoes, swallowed whole by a tiger—Bai Wei became numb, until she developed an immunity to fear.
Bai Wei was lucky she hadn't been driven mad by the torment; she mechanically descended the stairs with a blank expression.
After being killed in various ways, she was in a bad mood. Things were not under her control, and she felt like a puppet being strangely manipulated.
A cold face and a body radiating cold air can freeze a person into an icicle.
She had grown accustomed to it, and the various forms of death could no longer stir any emotion within her.
This time, she didn't feel the breath of death. Instead, she felt a slight chill on her neck, with a cold air hitting her forehead.
She turned around warily and found that besides the delivery ghost, there was another person floating off the ground, with a blue face and fangs blowing cold air at her.
Bai Wei was startled, as she was overwhelmed by the various death scenarios that had played out before. She calmly turned around and continued walking, showing no intention of stopping.
The ghost behind was stunned. What was going on? Wasn't this human afraid of ghosts?
Anyone who saw him would surely scream and run away in fear, but she didn't.
The ghost was unwilling to give up, so it floated in front of Bai Wei and stretched its tongue out of its mouth. The scarlet tongue emitted a fishy and foul smell, which made people shudder.
He slowly approached Bai Wei and licked her cheek.
Bai Wei remained completely still, seemingly unafraid.
Who says she wasn't afraid? She knew the various deaths she had faced before were illusions, and she was used to being killed so she wasn't afraid of them anymore. But the eerie was real, and her body was frozen with fear.
He continued walking down the path, his hands and feet moving in unison, his face tense.
Having been trained by the fear of death, my body and expression were already numb, so how could I react? I completely ignored the ghost.
The ghost, unwilling to give up, withdrew its tongue and plucked out its bloodshot eyeballs, waving them in front of Bai Wei. Bai Wei wanted to escape, but her body wouldn't obey her commands and continued down the stairs.
When the ghost realized that Bai Wei was not responding, it pounced on her in anger. Bai Wei only felt a chill on her body and then nothing happened, while the ghost was so angry that it was about to go crazy.
He lunged again, but after several attempts, he still couldn't catch Bai Wei.
"Damn it, damn it, why isn't this human reacting? Is she an idiot? Or is she really not afraid? But she's not afraid of how I can contaminate her."
"No, it would be an insult to a ghost if I didn't scare her to the point of collapse and corrupt her."
The ghost, using every trick in the book, wanted to scare the girl insane, severing her limbs, removing her head, turning her body into a mass of insect-eaten flesh, with pustules oozing disgusting fluid, her body writhing and twisting...
No matter what she did, Bai Wei showed no fear. Instead of driving the ghost crazy, she drove it crazy.

The dark staircase nearly collapsed.
The ghostly creature jumped up and down, thinking that there weren't many ghosts left. So it conjured up countless figures and surrounded Bai Wei, trying every means to scare her, but she remained unmoved.
"ah..."
The ghost clutched its head, nearly exploding.
Unable to resist, she jumped out from the side, hands on her hips: "You brat, why aren't you afraid of me?"
Bai Wei raised her head expressionlessly and stared at the ghost: "What are you afraid of?"
"you..."
"I should thank you for letting me experience all sorts of ways to die, which has made me braver. So why would I be afraid of you now?"
How could I not be afraid?
I'm not as scared as I used to be.
Although my body still trembles and my heart races when I face it, I'm not so badly unable to run and I'm able to calm down and think things through.
In reality, Bai Wei wasn't expressing gratitude; she was just saying it on purpose because she realized the ghost wouldn't dare do anything to her.
If we wanted to deal with her, we would have eaten her long ago; why bother using all sorts of methods to scare her?
It was the ghost's deliberate attempt to scare her that led her to discover a way to deal with it. As long as she wasn't scared into going crazy and running away, she wouldn't be corrupted. If she wasn't corrupted, the ghost wouldn't do anything to her, and she wouldn't die.
It was so pungent and my cheeks were sore.
This human is not human, absolutely not human, otherwise why wouldn't she be afraid of him?
"You broke the rules and dared to yell at me, threaten me, and anger me. You're asking for it. I'm going to eat you alive."
The ferocious-looking ghost opened its huge mouth and lunged straight at Bai Wei.
Bai Wei smelled the fishy stench from the ghost's mouth, and drops of saliva dripped onto her face, so real. Bai Wei's heart raced, and she wished she could run away right now, but she couldn't. Apart from the various death scenes she had just witnessed, she knew clearly that she couldn't be scared by ghosts and run away. That would be contaminated, that would be courting death, and she, Bai Wei, would not do that.
The ghost took a bite, but Bai Wei continued walking through it.
"I knew it! You ghosts have always been shameless. You like to launch surprise attacks on people you can't kill. Shameless! You've disgraced the ghosts!" Bai Wei cursed without restraint, venting her pent-up anger like a shrew.
They are unrestrained and have no limits; they curse however they want to make themselves happy.
"Once I get out of here, I'll tell those ghosts what happened to you."
...
The ghost was almost driven to the brink of collapse by the insults. This human had no manners and was just trying to bully this lowly monster.

"What? You're not satisfied? I'll say it anyway, so what? What can you do about it?"
Upon hearing these words from the angry ghost, the entire infinite staircase shook violently.
"You humans are the most despicable murderous demons. My being killed and trapped inside was mostly your doing. I will kill you, I will kill you."
The ghost, unable to control its emotions, passed through Bai Wei's body, yet it was unable to harm her.
Upon hearing this, Bai Wei realized that this ghost actually had secrets, and became interested in what he was saying.
He gave a tentative snort: "Humans are weak in front of you ghosts, how could we possibly have the ability to deal with a ghost like you?"
Bai Wei already knew how to get out. She closed her eyes to test the way and found that the surrounding environment had no effect on her. She could get out after walking for a while.
But she didn't want to go out; she wanted to learn more from this ghost before she would leave.
I can't let all those deaths go unpunished; I have to demand some interest.
The ghost was unaware that the humans in front of him dared to scheme against him and wanted him to pay the price. He was now being reminded of unpleasant memories, which were affecting his rationality.
"Incompetent? Hahaha, you humans are quite capable."
The ghost laughed loudly, his hair and clothes billowing as if he were going mad, roaring: "Back then, I was just a 20-year-old college student. If an elderly person was walking slowly by, I would go over and help them. If someone was sick and needed donations, I was always the first in line and helped donate a lot of money. If someone needed blood, I was the first to step forward and donate blood..."
"Most people know that I'm a kind person who likes to help others, but..."
The ghost suddenly changed the subject, speaking with resentment, as if he wanted to tear Bai Wei to shreds: "That day, on my way to school, I saw an old man lying on the ground, unable to get up. I thought he was seriously injured, so I rushed over and took him to the hospital. But he turned around and accused me, telling passersby that I had pushed him down, saying, 'I pushed him down... Hahaha!'"
"I was at a loss and hurriedly explained to the people around me, but they didn't believe me. Everyone believed the weak. Suddenly, someone in the crowd reported it to the authorities. When the authorities came to investigate, the people present actually testified for the old man, saying that I pushed him down. They demanded that I pay 250,000 yuan in compensation for various losses. Where would a student like me get so much money?"
"The official is a fair and good person. When the storm was at its peak, he suppressed everyone else and did not listen to what others said. Instead, he investigated the surveillance footage next to him."
"But when we investigated the surveillance footage, we found that it was broken. We couldn't find any evidence. Everyone was blaming me for pushing the old man down and lying to get compensation. It's outrageous and malicious."
"The official wanted to defend me and couldn't suppress the public opinion. I had no choice but to take out a loan of 200,000 yuan to lose money. Fortunately, the official helped me cover the 100,000 yuan shortfall."
"I thought this matter was over and I could continue to study peacefully and work to pay back the money, but those people still wouldn't let me go."
His mouth was wide open in a ferocious manner, and his eyes were filled with blood: "Those despicable humans still won't let me go. In order to gain more traffic, various bloggers interviewed that despicable old man, and the old man said that I pushed him down, that my face was too outrageous, and said all sorts of bad things about me."
"This has aroused the indignation of the general public, who have been criticizing me. Some people even came to the school with banners, calling me a disgrace to the school and demanding that I be expelled. My girlfriend didn't understand me and broke up with me. Although the school knew that I usually did good deeds, they couldn't suppress the negative public opinion that was damaging the school's reputation, and had no choice but to make me suspend my studies. But what did I do wrong? Why are they all coming to pressure me?"
"I dropped out of school. Those people still wouldn't let me go. Every time I went out to find a job, I lost it because of them."
"At that time, I had no money for food and nowhere to stay. Those I had helped before were afraid because of the rumors and pretended not to know me. I was not the only one who reached out to help me in my most difficult moment."
"I hate it, I hate it! I feel like a beaten dog in the water, I'm going to be found and beaten up wherever I go."

I ate leftovers, even spoiled food. I thought I would live a warm life like this, no matter where I went, this was the end result. Everyone wanted to kill me. The fans of those big streamers were indignant and secretly grabbed me, dragged me to the stairwell of an unfinished building, and killed me."
"From now on, I will be trapped in the stairwell and will not be able to get out, let alone take revenge."
The ghost on the stairs glared, its eyes bulging as if it wanted to skin the man who killed it alive.
Bai Wei stared intently, showing no pity whatsoever for what he said.
Even if the other party is pitiful, don't forget that the other party is a ghost and you are still in the instance. The other party hates humans so much that it will definitely attack you without hesitation once it gets the chance.
Therefore, one should not be too saintly.
If the other person is pitiful, who will pity her?
Being constantly tormented by a ghost, experiencing all sorts of ways to die, would definitely drive you insane.
Seeing that Bai Wei didn't react at all, the ghost approached her on the infinite staircase, its ghostly face almost touching her human face.
Unable to discern any expression on Bai Wei's face for a long time, the Infinite Staircase Ghost could not accept it and roared to the sky: "How could you not pity me? Don't you think I'm unlucky? How can you have no compassion at all?"
"What's the difference between someone like you and the person who killed me? Why don't you just die? Why don't you just die?"
The Ghost of the Infinite Stairs, filled with endless resentment, was unable to leave the staircase, wandering in one place, complaining about everything under the sun.
Bai Wei stared intently at the ghost on the infinite staircase, and her words froze the ghost in place: "Don't try to morally blackmail me. It's not someone else who did something wrong, it's you who did wrong."
The ghostly eyes of the Infinite Staircase bulged wide open, then rolled slid across the ground. Its two empty eye sockets glowed with eerie ghostly fire. Its head retracted, its elongated neck swung around in mid-air, and then returned to normal.
"How...how did you know?"
Bai Wei didn't know the specific details, and there might be some lies in the ghost's story of being alive.
Otherwise, how could the other party have come up with so many ways to torture people?
He was once kind, but died tragically and would never harm innocent people, even though public opinion hurt him.
Even if someone harbors resentment towards humanity, a single strike would suffice; why subject them to such horrific tortures?
Therefore, the other party is lying.
She looked up and stared intently at the ghost of the Infinite Staircase, trying to provoke him: "What you're saying is all a lie. With just your ghostly mouth, you can make people believe what you say."
The ghost of the infinite staircase quickly withdrew her eyes, then stared wide-eyed, "Where did I lie? What good would it do to lie to you? They're all dead, how can you be so disrespectful to the dead, little girl?"
"You still know that you'll die one day. Once you're dead, you're not two different beings anymore. You're a ghost, and I'm a human. We're on opposite sides. You're only a ghost if you believe in me."
"you."
"You are not that student, you are the murderer who killed the student."
I'll just guess an answer; I'm just trying to annoy this guy.
The Infinite Staircase Ghost's eyes widened, its mouth slightly agape, and after a moment of stunned silence, it stammered, "How did you know?"
Bai Wei sat calmly on the ground, utterly relaxed: "Is there anything I don't know?"
The Infinite Staircase Ghost couldn't do anything to the other party, couldn't kill the other party, and couldn't get the other party to pity it. It tried every means but couldn't achieve its goal.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You can get out now."
With a wave of its hand, the Infinite Staircase Ghost appeared a door beside it, revealing a brightly lit exterior, indicating that it was the real world.
Bai Wei did not leave as requested, but remained seated: "I'm not leaving today. How can you expect to get rid of me so easily without offering some benefits?"
The ghost on the infinite staircase stared wide-eyed, fuming as it tried to grab the other, but to no avail.

When you see the other person's anger rising, you must not get angry, or your lifespan will be shortened.
"Here's 2 points of mental energy. You can leave now."
Bai Wei was relaxed and didn't seem to want to move.
"You think you can get rid of me with this little bit?"
The infinite staircase ghost's teeth clashed together, making a creaking sound: "Add a little more mental energy."
"Ha! I'm not a beggar. You're bored here anyway, so I'll just keep you company."
Bai Wei remained unmoved.
The ghostly hand on the infinite staircase reached into the air, wishing it could slap the other party to death, but then realized it couldn't touch them and almost spat out a mouthful of blood: "What exactly do you want?"
"Zhou Yu is my friend. He told me that I could only gain 2 points of spirit, but you tortured me to the point of death. I can only gain 1 point. If that doesn't work, I need at least 10 points."
"You're going to kill me! No discussion until 10 o'clock. You'll stay here with me then."
The Infinite Staircase Ghost has limited power. How much energy would it take to accumulate more than 10 points, and how long would it take to recover?
Bai Wei's eyes darted around: "Then add 2 more points, and give me another special item. This is the final bottom line."
They stared at each other, neither willing to back down.
After a long time, the ghost of the Infinite Staircase saw Bai Wei and wanted to slap her to death. She was an eyesore in front of him. He closed his eyes and his ghostly tendons bulged: "Fine."
With a wave of its hand, the Infinite Staircase transported people to a gray-white space.
A milky white ball of light floated in front of them, along with a magical card.
The milky white light ball boosted mental strength by 5 points. I reached out, grabbed a handful, and slapped it into my head. I felt refreshed and my spirits soared. Things I couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.
"So this is the benefit of enhancing mental strength. In the future, when facing infection from sources of pollution, my resistance will be greatly increased."
Overjoyed, I saw the card floating in mid-air and eagerly took it down.
The description above appears: "Disposable item, can withstand one attack from an E-level or lower level of strangeness."
"It really is a good product."
Bai Wei took it down and put it in her pocket, keeping it close to her body. She patted it and felt much more at ease.
After she finished her work, she disappeared into the gray and white space.
Bai Wei felt a daze and returned to the original spot where she entered the wireless staircase instance.
When she appeared, Zhou Yu, who had been squatting on the ground patting his head, froze and quickly stood up.
"You're finally out."
"Hmm." Bai Wei said indifferently, sitting expressionlessly at the top of the stairs. At this moment, she was completely exhausted from facing the stair ghost.
The constant deaths cast a long shadow over her, causing her to emanate a chilling aura, with malevolent energy constantly surrounding her.
Seeing her like this, the bold Zhou Yu stood up and took several steps back, swallowing hard: "Are you alright?"
How come I became a completely different person after entering a dungeon?
He exuded a murderous aura that made him shudder.
Bai Wei didn't say a word; she just wanted to be alone. The delivery guy who followed her out stood behind her, trembling, and quickly stood in the middle, waving one hand at Zhou Yu.

The delivery ghost was afraid that Bai Wei would get angry because Zhou Yu would bother her, and it was he, the ghost, who would suffer the consequences.
Zhou Yu was clever and sensible. He nodded silently and then retreated to sit on the side of the corridor.
An hour later, the quiet floor was suddenly broken by Bai Wei's voice: "Zhou Yu, how did you get through the Infinite Staircase dungeon?"
A cold, icy voice can freeze a person.
Zhou Yu quickly hugged himself as a chilling sensation surged through him. He honestly said, "As I mentioned before, when I went in, it was incredibly dark, almost driving me crazy. I kept walking and walking in complete silence, and then, out of nowhere, a leopard appeared and chased me all over the stairs."
"After I fell, he disappeared. Then, before I could even catch my breath, a giant bear appeared and almost killed me. After this happened several times, I realized it was all an illusion. When I couldn't take it anymore and closed my eyes to walk away, I unknowingly disappeared."
Zhou Yu was smart, not stupid, and keenly sensed something: "Could it be that what you encountered was different from what I encountered? And the way you came out was different from what I came out of?"
He stared intently at the girl's back, nervously waiting for what would happen next, his clenched fists sweating without him even realizing it.
"Just like you, I encountered an illusion first, saw that ghost, and then it sent me out."
A simple sentence summed it all up. Zhou Yu felt relieved and patted his chest: "I see. Fortunately, you're alright. Those were just fantasies. Don't take them to heart. You won't feel scared after a while."
Thinking that the other person was a girl, she would definitely be more scared than herself. Her indifference was probably due to being too frightened. She continued to comfort her, "Just think of it as watching a horror movie, or having a dream. When you wake up, it's all fake. Look at me, I was also terrified, but I'm fine now, aren't I?"
Bai Wei turned her head, baring her teeth, looking sinister and terrifying, and said coldly, "Do you think I look like I'm alright?"
For some reason, when he met Bai Wei's icy eyes, he panicked terribly: "I...I..."
Under immense pressure, she couldn't utter a single word. When did this girl become so terrifying?
They weren't very friendly before.
Bai Wei said slowly, "When I entered the dungeon, I didn't close my eyes immediately. I wanted to see what I would encounter or discover. I didn't expect to be greeted by blood and writhing, fat white worms that crawled inch by inch onto people's bodies. I could smell the stench and feel that soft, squishy texture..."
Bai Wei described the entire process in great detail, making the reader feel as if they were there.
Zhou Yu originally thought that Bai Wei would be just like him, scared for a while and then get over it. But after hearing what Bai Wei had gone through, he trembled all over, his face turned pale and he couldn't stand up.
She quickly covered her ears pitifully and said, "Stop, stop, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said it would be over in a minute. If I had died that many times, I would have gone crazy from fright."
Seeing his pitiful state, Bai Wei nodded in satisfaction. He did have some sense; otherwise, she could have gone on and on about how he died for three days and three nights.
I've finally figured it out. This seemingly cute and kind little girl has a wicked heart; she's brought evil upon us and is deadly.
So, are we going down now?
"Hmm, but I need to ask the delivery guy." Bai Wei felt the delivery was expensive, and there was something else he hadn't told her, so she had to find out before leaving.
The delivery ghost and Bai Wei were staring intently at them, so they quickly looked away, afraid of being discovered that something was amiss.
Although Bai Wei doesn't have superhuman eyesight, her mental strength has been enhanced just now, making her observation much more noticed meticulous. How could she not have the delivery ghost's guilty expression?
"Delivery ghost, what are you afraid of?"
One sentence was enough to make the delivery ghost tense up, and he turned around to stare at Bai Wei in astonishment.
"So I didn't know that your role shouldn't just be to warn me of danger, help me avoid danger, or provide me with a monthly energy boosting meal!"

The affirmative voice startedled the delivery guy.
"Do I need to explain myself clearly? If I do, you can forget about getting any ghost money from me in the future, and forget about improving your strength."
The deliveryman was startled, fearing that Bai Wei wouldn't give him a chance to improve his strength, so he said in an extremely flattering tone: "Master, didn't I not have time to tell you yet?"
Bai Wei gave a forced smile: "Really? I have a feeling you're doing this on purpose?"
Oh no, the master is holding a grudge!
He was initially pleased with himself for hiding his true intentions well, but the other party had already seen through everything, leaving him feeling utterly disheartened.
No, you need to make amends quickly. If you don't want to live a miserable life of suppression, then you should properly admit your mistakes and show some improvement.
The delivery ghost is always flexible and adaptable, unlike the staircase ghost which is completely blocked; that would be too silly.
"Master, even a ghost has pride. I was forced into a contract with you because you left me with no other choice. That's why I harbor resentment and haven't told you anything. But I've decided not to do anything to harm you."
Bai Wei curled her lips into a smile, leaning against the door without any regard for her image, one foot on the step, and her hand on her knee.
Still trying to have ulterior motives? That delivery guy is really dishonest.
It's okay, there's still plenty of time to play cat and mouse with him.
"You're right, so tell me about your abilities."
The delivery ghost let out a sigh of relief, his whole body relaxing. He lowered his head to show his obedience, not daring to raise his head for fear that the other party would see through his disguise. He became much more cautious: "Master, my ability can alert you if there are any dungeons ahead. As long as it is within the scope of my ability, I can alert you."
Bai Wei's eyes were dark and unreadable, and her hands were clenched tightly, indicating that she was on the verge of getting angry.
It turns out the delivery ghost wanted her to enter the dungeon more often; the more dungeons she experienced, the higher the probability of death.
Eventually, someone will die in the dungeon, and the delivery ghost will be completely free.
Okay, okay!
That's a great idea; how could she let the delivery guy have it easy?
However, we still need to use the delivery ghost. We'll settle the score with the delivery ghost properly once we get to a safe place.
Bai Wei stood up and patted the ashes off her body. At this moment, she felt weak and powerless, and with her mental exhaustion, she really wanted to lie down and rest in bed.
But now is not the time to rest; we must leave Yunhu Community as soon as possible, or we will find it harder to leave the community.
They wanted to go to a safe place, take out offerings, build a house, and settle down properly.
Let's go.
Zhou Yusong sighed, glancing at the delivery ghost beside him. He thought about how a ghost had been contracted and harbored malicious intentions. He should have stayed far away from the ghost, but he could only believe a little of what the ghost said.
While thinking about this, I dragged my heavy luggage, making it difficult to even walk.
Bai Wei looked at the delivery guy: "Take Zhou Yu's luggage with you."
The delivery guy's mouth was slightly open, and he was grinding his teeth.

The delivery ghost was frozen in place by Bai Wei, feeling numb all over. Startled, he quickly took all of Zhou Yu's luggage, almost crushing him to death.
He glared at Zhou Yu: You brat! You don't need to bring so much luggage when you run away.
Zhou Yu originally wanted to refuse, after all, having a ghost around was really frightening, and she wanted to stay far away from it.
They found that with so much luggage, they would be out of breath after walking a short distance. They also realized that Bai Wei wanted to punish the delivery ghost, so they didn't refuse, which freed their hands to do other things.
The luggage was taken by the delivery guy.
The delivery ghost followed behind Bai Wei and Zhou Yu, looking at Bai Wei with resentment in his eyes.
Bai Wei took out 50 pieces of ghost money and threw them into the mouth of the takeout ghost, hearing a crunching sound.
"Here's 50 ghost coins as a reward for helping me remind you if there are any dungeons ahead?"
"Yes."
With the help of the delivery ghost, I deliberately avoided the areas with dungeons and safely arrived at the first floor.
Bai Wei exited the stairwell on the first floor and opened the door to find three people standing in the lobby. One was a male elite in a suit, wearing black-rimmed glasses and standing to one side with a serious expression. The other two were an elderly woman and an elderly man, standing together and chatting quietly.
Her appearance caused a commotion that started the three of them.
They all looked up and stared at them with scrutinizing eyes.
No one seemed inclined to come up and talk; the older woman and man kept quiet and refused to speak.
Bai Wei came out, followed by Zhou Yu, and then the delivery guy struggled to squeeze out with his luggage.
Before he could catch his breath, three pairs of eyes turned to him simultaneously, their faces grim.
Upon seeing the ghost, the three people in the hall retreated in fear, their faces pale and their legs trembling. They wished they could disappear from the hall immediately, but the outside was even more dangerous, putting them in a dilemma.
The only one who wasn't so scared when he saw the ghost carrying luggage following behind Bai Wei and the other person, was observing what Bai Wei and the other person were going to do.
Seeing that the three of them had no intention of going up to talk, Bai Wei led Zhou Yu to the door, where she could clearly see that the hall was no longer as clean as it used to be.
The floor was filthy, with several footprints and bloodstains covering the entire hall. Several corpses were blocking the entrance to the hall, lying haphazardly without any intact bodies.
Blood was spilled all over the ground, winding its way into a ditch three meters away. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun outside was setting in the west, casting an eerie orange-red glow that made the scene appear sinister and terrifying.
Bai Wei's lips were pressed tightly together, her hands were clenched tightly, her heart was pounding, and her expression was tense.
Facing these corpses, one immediately feels the arrival of the apocalypse and the insignificance of human life.
Human life is as fragile as grass, and we face life-threatening crises at any time.
It makes me feel the insignificance of humanity and the vast disparity in power between humans and ghosts.
Zhou Yu had seen human corpses before, but never such a gruesome death. The bodies lay scattered haphazardly, a sight that sent chills down his spine. He screamed, collapsed to the ground, and trembled uncontrollably, unable to utter a complete sentence: "How could this be? How could there be so many people?"
The confidence I had worked so hard to build almost collapsed.

Bai Wei's voice softened, and she reached out a hand: "You should have been prepared for this. Once you step out of this door, there will be even more terrifying crises waiting for you. Do you want to go through disappointment after disappointment like I have before you can accept this?"
Bai Wei knew that after the bizarre apocalypse, it was unrealistic to act alone; she needed partners. Although she wouldn't completely trust them, they could still become her right-hand men.
Therefore, we can't let Zhou Yu break down directly. We have to face it anyway, so we might as well muster up our courage.
Zhou Yu's cheeks flushed red as she thought about how her little sister had faced death time and time again, a scene even more terrifying than what she herself had encountered.
I only encountered a minor incident, a trivial matter, which is not worth mentioning, and I even made a fool of myself in front of everyone.
Feeling utterly humiliated, he quickly reached out and grabbed Bai Wei's hand, then stood up unsteadily, his legs too weak to stand.
"Let's go. If it gets late and we don't find a place to rest, it will be even more dangerous."
Bai Wei said seriously, what she said was true. "A hundred ghosts roam at night. All ghosts like to come out at night, and it is not good for them to travel during the day."
"You mean you have a goal?" I wanted to change the subject, distract myself from the corpses, and look elsewhere.
Bai Wei lifted her foot to walk out, but the middle-aged woman who was hiding to the side couldn't help but remind her: "Young lady, you'd better not go out. There's a dangerous dungeon outside. Many people have tried to leave from here, but most of them are stuck here."
The old man couldn't help but slap the old woman's shoulder, covering his mouth with one hand and whispering, "What good deed are you doing now? You warned so many people ahead, but your kindness was met with no reward. They all called you a coward and a coward, and some even thought you were lying to them, telling them to stay here so we could leave."
The older woman angrily slapped the older man's hand away and muttered, "We live in the same building, after all. It's not like I'll lose anything by reminding him. People should have a conscience. I won't feel at ease if I hear it from the outside."
The old man said sarcastically, "Go ahead and blow it up, I'll wait until you hit a brick wall before you realize what's going to happen. I'll see what you do then. You've taken my kindness for granted."
I walked to the side, keeping a distance from the old lady, and ignored her completely.
Looking at Bai Wei, a greedy expression appeared on her face. She came downstairs without any food or drink. She had been hungry all day and was feeling weak. If she didn't eat something, she might starve to death, if not be killed by the monster.
Several groups of people came down earlier, trying to snatch food, but most of them either came down in a hurry without bringing anything, or came down in groups, so they managed to pick up every single one. They originally had their eyes on Bai Wei and wanted to go up and snatch some food, but when they saw the delivery guy behind her, they stopped in their tracks.
Going up to snatch it is suicide; those are ghosts.
Bai Wei appreciated the old lady's good intentions and replied, "Places with lots of people are often the most eerie. It's best to leave the neighborhood as soon as possible, or you might encounter danger."
After saying that, he took Zhou Yu's hand, who was walking unsteadily, and followed the delivery ghost's instructions to walk out from the right side. Nothing unusual happened, and they were all safe and sound.
The older woman took his words to heart. She was able to leave safely through the main gate, so she must be no ordinary person. I followed her out.
Upon seeing this, the elite man and the middle-aged man behind them rushed out.
The uncle was about to leave the gate, his face showing excitement. In that moment of relaxation, he felt a huge push from behind, and his whole body was thrown into the black hole and disappeared.
Before he disappeared, his eyes widened in disbelief that the cowardly young man would dare to use him as a shield: "Ah!"
A chilling scream rang out, sending shivers down one's spine.
The elite man emerged unharmed from the main gate, staring blankly at the vanished old man.
His hands trembled slightly as he clutched them tightly to hide his discomfort, thinking to himself, "Don't blame me, don't blame me. I'm still young, I don't want to die. You've lived a long life, you won't live much longer. Why not help me escape this calamity?"

The person walking in front didn't notice, but Bai Wei witnessed the whole thing and didn't act like a saint by standing up for the old man.
The aunt and uncle lived on the same floor and saw each other frequently. Occasionally, they would go down to the first floor together to dance in the square. I witnessed the death of a familiar person right before my eyes.
Caught off guard, she stood there stunned for a moment, tears streaming down her face. She covered her mouth with her hand, sobbing and afraid to make a sound.
Many people died, including his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter...
It stirred up painful memories; in just one day, a beautiful family was gone.
Even familiar people are gone just like that.
Bai Wei had no intention of comforting him and continued to let the delivery guy lead the way.
Zhou Yu was deeply moved by what she had seen throughout the day. She could feel the old woman's pain and couldn't bear to look away as she was about to fall. She reached out to help the old woman, saying, "Auntie! Times have changed. They still have to live. It's not just you. I've also witnessed people on the same floor die, and I don't even know if my family members are still alive."
Her eyes were slightly red, and tears welled up in them. She bit her lip tightly, trying not to let them fall.
Seeing that they were in distress, Bai Wei stopped and lingered for a moment without urging them on.
Having been trained through dungeons, her face was stiff and she couldn't empathize with the situation.
After all, she had only lived in the neighborhood for a short time, and she left early and returned late. She didn't know anyone there, and only occasionally saw a few faces that weren't there.
After a few minutes, she hardened her heart and said, "Zhou Yu, it's time to go."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu saw the setting sun and was startled: "Auntie! We must leave quickly. It's better to live a wretched life than to die. Live for your family."
The older woman listened to their advice, nodded, and followed behind them, but she was afraid to get too close to the delivery guy.
I was curious and wanted to know why this ghost obeyed, but I was too embarrassed to pry into her privacy.
Bai Wei suddenly stopped and turned around, making the three people behind her very nervous.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but asked, "Bai Wei, why did you stop? Did you find something?"
"We discovered that the murderer was following us."
The delivery ghost received the order and blocked the elite man's path.
The elite man was caught off guard by a ghostly face, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground. His terrified face made no attempt to hide his fear, and he had no strength left to back away.
I wish I could hide myself away.
"What...what are you going to do?"
He stammered out a sentence, and he had a guess that the girl standing at the front was definitely connected to this ghost.
Bai Wei didn't even look at him, and said in a chilling tone, "If you keep following me, I won't be able to resist the urge to attack you. I don't like having a murderer following me around who might attack me at any moment."
The elite man's face contorted, changing rapidly.
One moment he was terrified, the next he was filled with boundless hatred, but he dared not retaliate. His hands were clenched tightly, and he used all his strength to stagger to his feet: "I didn't kill anyone, don't talk nonsense."
"You didn't kill anyone. You were going to be sucked into the black hole when you came out, but you pushed the old man out to take the fall."
Bai Wei turned around with a half-smile, looking the elite man up and down: "Dressed so well, but your heart is black."
8bOoK. cOm
The elite man broke out in a cold sweat, as if his most secret secrets had been exposed, leaving him with no privacy whatsoever. His voice grew louder, and he roared, wishing he could cover everything up: "Shut up, shut up! I didn't do it, you have no evidence. Neither of them saw it, only you did!"
"You think you can frame me just by talking to me? How can a young girl like you be so malicious?"
"Besides, I have no grudge against you. You can do whatever you want to anyone. Who knows if the people who follow you will be in trouble one day?"
Bai Wei clapped her hands, applauding the people in front of her. She spoke without any modesty, truly a master of pretense and backstabbing. Even she couldn't do that.
"What? Are you feeling guilty?"
The elite man took a few steps back, on guard, ready to run at the slightest sound.
"Feeling guilty? Do I need to feel guilty? As long as you don't follow me, you can go wherever you want. Didn't you say that people who follow me will be in big trouble? Why are you still following me? Do you have ulterior motives?"
The elite man gritted his teeth, glanced at the delivery guy and Bai Wei, feeling a little unwilling, and made a final struggle, saying: "The road isn't yours to run, I can't just go wherever I want."
"Really? Then you go first."
Bai Wei turned her body to the side and stretched out her hand in a gesture of invitation.
The elite man's teeth chattered, but he didn't take a step.
"What? Do you have other ideas about me? You delivery guy, teach him a lesson."
Upon hearing Bai Wei's words, the delivery guy's eyes lit up and he tried to rush over, but the elite man was startled and took several steps back: "Hmph! It's just a matter of who leaves first, why bother with physical violence?"
So, wanting to sow discord, he said to the old woman, "Auntie, you have to be careful. That girl is definitely not a good person. I have no grudge against her, and she attacked me. You even kindly reminded her. She might attack you too."
"Even without that kid next to you, you still need to be careful. He's keeping a ghost around, and he's in control. The day he doesn't need you anymore will be the day you die."
He felt a pang of jealousy and resentment, wondering why he was suffering so much during the arrival of the supernatural.
How can a little girl live a better life than me? I must find a chance to interrogate her about how she can be so obedient.
Aside from the little girl, no one dared to act arrogantly in front of the delivery ghost. Its ghostly face swelled up as it chased after the elite man, its mouth opening to bite off one of his arms, leaving blood gushing out.
The elite man let out a wail and disappeared from everyone's sight with lightning speed.
All those present could hear was the crunching sound of the delivery guy biting his arm.
The woman was so frightened her legs went weak. This ghost was terrifying. It was so quiet just now, but I never expected it to have such a ferocious side.
Hearing the words of the elite man again, it's hard not to have other thoughts in mind.
Zhou Yu knew that Bai Wei wouldn't wrong someone without a reason. Although they had only known each other for a day, she was clear about her grudges and gratitude.
"Auntie, think about it carefully. The uncle clearly lunged forward, and the momentum was quite strong. There were no stones on the ground to trip him up, and the black hole was clearly in front of him. The uncle isn't stupid, so why would he lunge into the black hole?"
The trembling old woman suddenly recalled her terrifying experience, and her hair stood on end. Her eyes were fixed on the direction the elite man had fled.
Bai Wei would never entrust her back to someone with ulterior motives. Having an elite man by her side would be like having a ticking time bomb; in case of danger, he might be the first to throw her out.
It would have been better to kick the other party out immediately. It was his own fault for angering the delivery guy and getting his arm broken.
She wasn't kind enough to stop the angry delivery guy.
The group fell silent and followed the delivery ghost's directions, quickly leaving the residential area. The area outside the gate was very quiet. Several cars were parked haphazardly on the wide street, with bloodstains running down them. Some of the cars had their doors wide open, revealing a corpse lying crookedly inside, its arms and head missing, creating a horrific scene.

Zhou Yu and the older woman remained silent. They both thought positively and never considered that there could be dangers both outside and inside the community.
They felt empty inside, and faced with this situation, they were very confused about the future.
Bai Wei didn't want to hide her strength, so she asked the delivery ghost, "Where humans live is no longer safe. Do you have any recommendations for a safe place?"
The delivery ghost was surprised that Bai Wei asked about safe places. Most humans, when they first encounter strange things, would think that this is just how it is, and would never know that there are safe places.
The delivery ghost dared not hide anything or make any ulterior motives, and respectfully said, "We can look for places with fewer people, where there are fewer ghosts. Or we can go to the small houses where the sacrificial offerings live, or go to the ghost community, which provides places for humans and/or ghost descendants to live."
Bai Wei never expected there to be such a safe place, which had never appeared in the novel, or rather, she had only read half of it and never read the rest.
However, the novel is full of unexpected encounters with strange occurrences. At first, the characters are living to understand the new world, and the sacrificial hut they unexpectedly obtain is located in a deserted area outside the city.
Bai Wei's ability to sign a contract with the supernatural in advance was due to her possession of a large amount of ghost money. Having a ghost's warning was equivalent to having a prophet's eye, giving her a greater chance of surviving longer in this world full of supernatural beings.
"Do you know where the eerie neighborhood is?" Bai Wei asked.
The delivery ghost fawned and said obsequiously, "I know, Master, I'll lead the way for you, but I have too much luggage and my Netherworld power is running low."
Bai Wei ignored the delivery ghost and took out a sacrificial truck from the sacrificial card.
The delivery ghost's eyes widened, and the luggage in its hands fell to the ground with a thud. The ghost pressed itself against Bai Wei's face, staring at her every move.
Bai Wei opened the card, and the evaluation card disappeared. A sports car appeared out of thin air, with an extremely gorgeous convertible top, a hard-looking shell, very sturdy wheels, and an extremely smooth overall appearance.
Bai Wei teased, "Delivery guy, can you drive?"
Yes, yes.
The delivery ghost nodded frantically, circling the car once, as if it couldn't wait to get in and drive.
He'd been a ghost for so long and had never seen such a cool sports car.
Moreover, it even has the bizarre sign of the Zhongtiandi Bank, making it a luxury car among ghosts.
Driving it out will make you look very prestigious.
Bai Wei was too lazy to expose the delivery ghost's little scheme. The sky was getting darker and darker, and they had to hurry to the eerie neighborhood, otherwise they would have to spend the night in the dark.
The delivery guy scurried around, loading the luggage onto his car and getting into the driver's seat to wait for the passengers—he was incredibly fast.
Zhou Yu seized the opportunity and asked in surprise, "Bai Wei, do you...do you know magic? Otherwise, how did this car get here?"
"Sacrifice Card".
"The sacrificial card." Zhou Yu had just seen Bai Wei tear up the card, and the picture on it was of this car. He suddenly realized.
He hurriedly asked, "How can I obtain the sacrificial card?"
"You obtained them from your deceased ancestors, or from some strange dungeon. They have a wide range of uses, including various offering cards for clothing, housing, and transportation."
Upon hearing this for the first time, Zhou Yu felt increasingly fascinated by the new world and explored it thoroughly with Bai Wei.
The car seats are genuine leather, there is no odor inside, and the whole car is no different from a real car.
Bai Wei got into the passenger seat and saw the middle-aged woman standing there. She rolled down the window and said, "Auntie! Do you want to leave by yourself, or come with us?"
"I...I..." The woman was a little confused. Her family was all gone, and there was nowhere else for her to go. Hearing Zhou Yu's encouragement and advice, she gave up the idea of suicide.
Zhou Yu hurriedly urged, "Auntie! Just come with us! In these times, only by sticking together can we survive; it's hard to survive alone."

Bai Wei said, "Auntie, it's the same for you wherever you go now. Why don't you come with us two young people? You might even run into someone you know."
When you arrive at the eerie neighborhood, you'll need someone to clean and tidy your house. You can't ask a male ghost to help with the housework, and you'll need bodyguards when you go out. Perhaps you could have a mutually beneficial relationship with the old lady.
The older woman looked around; the empty space exuded a gloomy atmosphere.
My initial hesitation was instantly shattered.
The girl in front of him probably wasn't too bad-natured. The elite man who went out earlier had said a lot of misleading things. He nodded to himself, reassuring himself, opened the door, and sat down.
Once everyone was there, the impatient delivery guy drove off immediately; driving a luxury car felt completely different.
Even if he is a ghost, he still has the heart of a mortal.
Driving a luxury car in front of all the ghosts would be incredibly prestigious; you could proudly show off in front of them!
Bai Wei didn't feel the same way about food delivery; it didn't matter what car she drove, she didn't get the same thrill as a man driving a luxury car.
Zhou Yu and Bai Wei chatted for a few minutes, focusing on the topic of ghosts, but the conversation ended up in the car, and they felt they hadn't had enough.
He glanced at the delivery guy driving, who was beaming with excitement, and asked with envy, "Hey bro, how's it driving?"
The delivery guy was in a rare good mood and had the mind to talk to Zhou Yu: "Haha, it's very enjoyable. It's truly a luxury car produced by Tiandi Company. Whether it's the buttons or the driving speed, it's very smooth and easy to drive."
"Really? I've never experienced driving a luxury car before?"
"Do you want to be open-minded?"
Zhou Yu nodded frantically, wishing he could drag the delivery guy down and drive it himself.
The delivery ghost said smugly, "Next time I'll let your little brother try it. I'm not saying this to be rude, but male ghosts who have driven luxury cars are just different."
...
The two of them chatted the whole way.
Bai Wei ignored the ghost and the human, closed her eyes to rest, and unexpectedly fell asleep.
Today was a thrilling day, I'm so tired.
The car sped up to the entrance of the eerie neighborhood. Bai Wei, a light sleeper, was startled awake.
At first glance, the entrance to the eerie residential area is very large, with four large characters written above it: "Eerie Residential Area." The twisted and bloody atmosphere is enough to make one's scalp tingle.
There were rooms on both sides, and someone was guarding the main entrance.
On the left are strange figures lining up, and on the right are humans lining up.
You have to register outside the room before you can go in.
Their arrival drew the attention of both ghosts and humans, who whispered among themselves. Who were they, humans or ghosts?
Bai Wei opened the car door and got out, ignoring everyone's stares as she asked the delivery guy to park the car to the side.
The delivery ghost, carrying luggage, followed behind Bai Wei and the other two, and had already quietly told Bai Wei the rules for entering the eerie neighborhood.
Bai Wei nodded to indicate that she understood, and led everyone to the right to line up. Some people were eyeing the offering cards on their bodies, and each of them had a malicious look in their eyes. But when they saw the delivery ghost behind them, the moment their eyes met, they quickly withdrew their malice.
Some, believing themselves to be extraordinary, memorized Bai Wei and the others' appearances, hoping to seize them by chance.
Bai Wei knew she was being too high-profile, but so what?
