Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 74: Adventure in the Ghost World (Part )
"Morty, if you have been avoiding death all your life, living is no different from being dead." Rick said as he came to the outside of Huanggang Village.

The two could see that although the village was not so dark that they could not see their hands in front of them, the nearby houses could only be seen as vague outlines, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the village.

The footsteps were neat and orderly, and sounded particularly clear in the silent village.

In the deserted village, the sound of footsteps made Morty feel uneasy. Rick still had that indifferent expression, staring at the village with dead eyes.

Neither he nor Morty can die. Rick, who had already browsed the files, knows the basic rules of this world. Consciousness is almost equivalent to the soul. As long as the consciousness is preserved, no matter what the body is like, there is a chance of recovery.

In this world, consciousness is equivalent to the combination of memory and human nature. Human nature exists because of memory, so memory is the main body.

Before entering the ghost world, Rick backed up Morty's memories. If Morty's body was invaded by the spirit, it wouldn't matter. Once the invasion reached the consciousness level, the mechanism he set up would be triggered immediately.

Morty's consciousness (soul) will immediately be transferred to the cloned body that Rick has prepared in advance, and he will be resurrected. The principle is very simple, it is a simple and portable Phoenix Project system.

As for the fact that his body was a clone, who cared? Previous adventures had already taken their toll on his body. Rick's current body was the nth clone he'd ever used. His consciousness (soul) was his own, that was all that mattered.

"Rick, doesn't this give me some equipment?" Morty asked Rick, looking at the village entrance that seemed to devour all life.

Rick calmly pulled out a small bottle of white wine, took a sip, and said, "Morty, today I'm going to teach you a lesson. In the face of danger, your greatest reliance is yourself... and me, your grandpa..."

As he spoke, Rick suddenly made a move, grabbed Morty, and threw him into Huanggang Village, quickly following him. There were only two of them, and if they separated, it would easily trigger the ghost messenger's killing pattern of being alone and dead.

At this time in Huanggang Village, in addition to the ghost catcher, there may also be evil ghosts wandering around, such as the headless ghost, corpse water, ghost fog, ghost tattoos, sick ghosts, and Wang Xiaoqiang's stitched ghost.

Why is it possible? Because Rick doesn't know how many evil spirits the ghost messenger has merged with. If there is only one ghost messenger left, then the ghost messenger will be very terrifying.

The Stitched Ghost and the Headless Ghost were released by Yang Jian, while the Ghost Mist and the Sick Ghost were from Feng Quan. There were four ghosts here, and the club had five more ghost riders. Including the Ghost Messenger himself, there were ten ghosts in total.

Once all of them are merged by the ghost catcher, people who come to Huanggang Village will have to face a ghost catcher who can suppress ten ghosts indiscriminately. This is more terrifying than the ghost catcher incident that Yang Jian will be involved in in Dajing City in the future.

If they were not completely assimilated by the ghost messenger, then Huanggang Village would also be full of evil spirits. The situation of forming a balance is that the ghost messenger has a suppressed number of five ghosts, and there are five ghosts wandering outside, forming a balance.

"Rick!" Morty was suddenly thrown into Huanggang Village. The surrounding spirit aura was so strong that he shuddered. Then he stared at Rick angrily. Fearing that he would attract evil spirits, Morty lowered his voice.

"Use your brain, analyze the ghost's killing patterns, and then you can control the ghost. Don't you want to experience the powerful power yourself?" Rick coaxed. Young people of Morty's age are in the stage of middle school.

In previous adventures, Morty had always been the one who suffered a loss. If he could control the evil spirit, he would have great power, so Morty naturally developed some desire.

The painful side effects of becoming a ghost rider cannot be fully understood by those who have not experienced it firsthand.

To be precise, there are currently six evil spirits wandering around Huanggang Village, and the ghost messenger is a fusion of three evil spirits. This news was just exchanged between Rick and Yang Jian in the chat group.

At this time, Yang Jian couldn't get out of the ghost coffin, but through the ghost coffin, his consciousness could observe the entire Huanggang Village. The moment Rick and Morty entered Huanggang Village, he knew it.

Whether Moti can control the evil spirit depends on himself. Of course, the ghost catcher cannot be chosen, not only because the current ghost catcher is strong, but also because Yang Jian is in the ghost coffin.

When the ghost catcher does not enter the ghost coffin, it is the entire Huanggang Village. It can be a fusion of the appearance of all villagers, or it can be a piece of weed, a stone, a house... It can be said that they are actually in the "body" of the ghost catcher.

When the supernatural events occurred, the entire village of Huanggang mysteriously disappeared for three days. When the village reappeared, it was no longer the same village, but a ghost messenger.

However, the ghost catcher was still in the making at that time, and some aspects were not perfect yet, so Huanggang Village once again returned to the life of an ordinary village as before.

This is a kind of imitation ability, just like a child will imitate the behavior of adults, it will also imitate the operating rules of the village, so there is not only a village, but also villagers. So the villagers who disappeared before appeared, those villagers who were equivalent to alternative ghost slaves. The ghosts did not directly control them. They all carried out their previous lifestyles and activities. When someone died, they knew to hold a funeral and set up a mourning hall.

They know how to greet guests and greet them, but they will never leave the village. They are part of the village.

Rick and Morty both know the cause and effect of the supernatural events in Huanggang Village, which is a village formed by ghosts and a person who attempts to completely become a ghost with the help of the ghost coffin, and also wants the headquarters of the ghost coffin.

The real purpose of headquarters issuing this mission through that company wasn't to resolve the local paranormal activity or rescue the ghost tamer Feng Quan, but to obtain the ghost coffin. This coffin, suspected to be capable of completely transforming a person into a ghost, held great research value.

But that was the situation before. The current situation is that Huanggang Village has truly become a spooky place where evil spirits are lurking, at least that was the case before Yang Jian came out of the ghost coffin.

The five ghost riders from the club and the former head of Dachang City, Feng Quan, had all died here. Seeing this, the outsiders probably wouldn't dare send any more people here.

Even if they didn't know the ghost's ability and killing patterns, they could still tell how many ghost riders had died here. If the outside world didn't know Yang Jian was still alive, and included him, there would be at least a double-digit number of evil spirits.

Apart from tricking fools into coming here to die, who would dare to run in if they knew about it? They also didn't dare to trick unsuspecting ghost riders into coming here. If a few more ghost riders died here, they were afraid of creating an S-level supernatural event.

"Hey~Morty, there is a figure over there. There are no living people in this place anymore, only evil spirits, so that's your target, go ahead." Rick said, activating a device, and a golden protective layer wrapped him in the form of clothes.

This is Rick's improved nanofiber shield, the one he always carries. It's ultra-thin, close-fitting, and offers strong protection. After improvements, it uses gold as the stretch material, effectively shielding against supernatural influences. The effect is probably similar to Yang Jian hiding in a body bag in the original novel.

After deploying the protective shield, Rick turned on the live broadcast function of the chat group. This was also the first time he live-broadcasted his adventure. If he wanted to, he could do so in the original universe, but it was not necessary.

They were already performing a series of scripts, and now it was just a transition from Rick and Morty's script to another script story. Judging from the form of the chat group, Rick could guess that the source of this story was probably a failed online writer.

Rick's deadpan expression stems from his lack of expectations for a story written by a failed author. So this adventure is simply torture... ahem, a test for Morty.

"Rick, why don't you prepare some equipment for your eldest grandson?" Morty's face turned black when he saw Rick who had turned into a little golden man.

"The protective shield will only hinder you from becoming stronger. Come on, Morty!" Rick not only said this, but also pushed Morty.

Morty stumbled forward a few steps, and seeing the figure clearly, his pupils instantly dilated, and fear surged. It was a ghost in the shape of an old woman.

His withered face was like wrinkled bark, covered with deep grooves left by the years. A faint green light flashed in his sunken eye sockets, and his face was terrifyingly pale.

The old woman's hair was like dry straw, scattered on her shoulders in a disorderly manner, with a few strands of silver mixed in, gently fluttering in the night wind, carrying a cold and mysterious aura.

The corners of her mouth drooped slightly, revealing her uneven yellow teeth. There were a few drops of unknown bloody sticky liquid hanging from the corners of her mouth, adding a sense of horror.

Quietly watching the show (group owner Cheng Yiyi): "Holy crap! I was so shocked to see such an exciting scene right after entering the live broadcast."

Depressed elementary school student (Grayfield Ai): "(ó﹏ò)!"

Tequila Girl (Er Qiao): "To be honest, it's really scary."

You Are My Eyes (Yang Jian): "This old woman has a sick ghost inside her. Its function is probably to dissolve the body. The triggering medium is the coughing sound. The killing pattern is unknown."

Yang Jian, who was in the ghost coffin, provided Moti with some information about the ghost.
