Bai Cangshu felt the abnormal atmosphere around him; it was his first time encountering a situation where he was in danger as soon as he entered a mission world.
In previous mission worlds, even the most dangerous Cursed Spirit World, the Space would always place Reincarnators in relatively safe areas within the Dead City.
It was only when the Fifth Element initiated a hunt for other Reincarnators that a large number of them died at the start.
The One Piece World was also similar; Reincarnators were placed on a beach without attracting Enel's attention. Instead, an internal conflict among the Reincarnators led to Enel noticing and intervening, resulting in a team wipe.
The Space consciously avoided Reincarnators dying unexpectedly as soon as they were deployed into a mission world.
However, in this special world, named Sub-World B711, Bai Cangshu was immediately dropped into such an oppressive and dark environment.
The bizarre corpses and numerous long snakes were enough to pose a significant threat to a small number of low-level Reincarnators.
And this was not an exception.
Faint crackling electricity surrounded Bai Cangshu, and many subtle sounds appeared in his ears.
"That's quite a grand gesture."
Bai Cangshu walked a couple of steps in the water, pulled up a corpse, and a golden Dong Dong Wave, ready to unleash, was used by him as a lighting tool.
The corpse, without any signs of decay, had no injuries on its surface and was dressed in a striped white patient gown. It was the body of a woman, and from the feel of her neck when he gripped it, she shouldn't have been very old.
Bai Cangshu lowered his head, meeting the corpse's dead, vacant eyes staring straight at him.
[You have suffered the curse · Resentment of the Dead]
[Judgment is being made. You have been exempted from this curse.]
Before the chill could rise from Bai Cangshu's body, and just as his muscles showed a tendency to stiffen, a more surging, icy death intent surged through Bai Cangshu's bloodline, devouring all negative forces on his body.
Bai Cangshu's Myriad Tribulation Yin Spirit Underworld Body possesses a special resistance to spirits; ordinary curses and Yin-ghost entities simply cannot affect him.
[Spirit Defense (Rare): Passive trait. You have gained additional resistance to spirits. Soul-type abilities will have greatly reduced effects on you, and you are exempt from C-rank and below spirit arts and spirit particle-type ability attacks. This ability has priority.] (Note: In conflicts between opposing abilities, the ability with priority will take effect first.)
Buzz!
The accumulated golden energy had been held for too long and was becoming increasingly unstable.
Bai Cangshu casually pointed his hand towards a direction above his head, following the sound he "heard."
The Dong Dong Wave shot out instantly.
That dazzling golden light, like a sharp sword, tore through the darkness in the sewer, and several meters of thick stone floor seemed to be pierced by a laser.
In the darkness, numerous long snakes instantly pounced on Bai Cangshu's body, beginning to bite him.
Whoosh!
Blazing Flame immediately ignited, and the long snakes thrashed and fell into the water, carrying the flames with them, which brightened the sewer somewhat.
[You attacked a Reincarnator. Based on the difference in Mental power between both parties, you have obtained the following information:]
[Your Divine Finger Flick (Shen Zhi Gong) Lv4 dealt penetrating damage to Reincarnator NC55514933.]
[NC55514933 has entered a dying state.]
"Tsk, he didn't die directly, huh."
Bai Cangshu raised his hand and tapped the stone slab above his head.
Thump.
A strong force entered the stone slab, then began to vibrate at a high frequency.
Hum ~ Bang!
As the stone slab shattered with a roar, Bai Cangshu had already floated up to the ground.

"Quick, save him!"
A well-built man in a red jacket with long gray hair gravely instructed his team. He held two short-barreled submachine guns, their bodies inscribed with runes, now gleaming brightly.
The man, codenamed Loka, was the captain of the temporary team [37411]. His expression was grim. Although he had heard the rumors, being truly thrown into such a non-derivative world still put immense Mental pressure on him.
He had temporarily formed a team of 7 people. After entering the mission world, they found it was an abandoned hospital. They tried to leave but discovered a strange power within the hospital.
It prevented them from finding an exit at all.
Even the windows and walls they saw were not real; breaking one would still lead them back to the starting point.
He instantly understood that they had likely entered some kind of supernatural phenomenon, combined with the numerous supernatural-related milestones that appeared after loading into the world.
He was basically certain that this world must contain a large number of ghost and specter elements.
Loka replaced his weapons and bullets with enchantments specifically for spiritual entities, which allowed him to repel the sudden appearance of vengeful spirits.
But before they could even catch their breath, a laser suddenly shot from somewhere below, instantly piercing through the chest and abdomen of the team's spellcaster, Lilith.
"Loka, I think we have to go…"
At this moment, Short Hair, the Mental perception user of the team, spoke with a pale face.
"If we could go, wouldn't we have run already?!"
Several people retorted unhappily, but Short Hair still looked at Loka.
"The psychic guard I placed on the first floor has been destroyed. The one who attacked us just now was Tao Bai Bai…"
His voice was a bit hoarse. After seeing that bizarre and ugly avatar, he felt a chill run down his spine. The scene of Tao Bai Bai selling scarlet drop cards in the Space seemed to replay before his eyes.
He absolutely did not want to become one of those scarlet drop cards displayed on a stall, being haggled over.
Loka also felt his scalp tingle. He immediately interrupted his companion, who was still trying to cast healing magic.
"Let's move first. This space is very strange. Let's try to make Tao Bai Bai encounter those dirty things first!"
Seeing that Loka was still calm, everyone felt they had a backbone and quickly began to retreat upstairs.
Because time was tight, a few people hesitated at the stairwell, then all turned and walked towards the elevator lobby.
Earlier in the elevator lobby, Short Hair had rejected the idea of taking the elevator. His "intuition" was quite high, and those elevators gave him a very bad feeling.
But now, Tao Bai Bai was only one or two floors away from them, and the straight-line distance was probably no more than tens of meters.
With his ability, once he discovered them, he could probably break through all obstacles and reach them in just a few breaths.
"Go, take the elevator!"
With the [Psychic Communication] already linking everyone, Short Hair himself was the first to suggest taking the elevator.
Things like [Intuition], while helpful for sensing danger in normal environments, would only heighten his Mental tension in this special environment.
He felt that there might be something terrifying hidden in the elevator, but the Tao Bai Bai downstairs, in his perception, was also not a humanoid creature at all.
He seemed to be an aggregate of numerous negative emotions, emitting a tyrannical, bloody scent.
A few people pressed the elevator button.
Ding ~
With a crisp arrival sound, the elevator opened.
It was very bright inside, and everyone's minds relaxed slightly. As soon as they walked in, the elevator closed, and Short Hair immediately shattered the mirror inside the elevator.
As the elevator doors closed, Loka saw a figure in a pink robe appear silently at the elevator entrance. He met the other party's gaze, and the smile in those eyes almost made his breathing stop.
