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

Chapter 77: Adventure in the Ghost World (VI)
There are so many things that men are more likely to do than women, such as going for a foot bath, drinking, fishing, etc. With so many different situations, and even some that he didn't know about, Song Shuhang couldn't determine the pattern of the killing.

In addition, he didn't know these people at all and had no understanding of them at all, so he didn't have enough information to support his analysis of the cause of their death.

If he knew the detailed information of the deceased, he might be able to find common points and discover the killing patterns of evil spirits, but now he can only watch.

"The ghost domain seems to be expanding." Song Shuhang noticed that after killing a living person, the black fog ghost domain of this evil ghost, which was originally only within a small area under his feet, began to expand outward and became an area of ​​one meter in radius.

Don’t underestimate the small size of this one-meter-radius ghost zone, but it is in a spiritual place and is forcibly expanded under suppression. If it were placed in the real world, who knows how terrifying it would be.

"So this is it." While Song Shuhang was observing the evil spirit, Su Yun was staring at the plaque above the gate of the building.

On the plaque, a few words appeared faintly. These words seemed to be written in blood, strangely vivid and even flowing.

The other two characters are already blurred, and only the last two characters are a little blurry, but you can still roughly make out that they are the traditional Chinese characters for "钱庄".

In the world of supernatural revival, there has appeared a supernatural item called "ghost money". It has a powerful effect and can protect against attacks from evil spirits. It can also be used to purchase other supernatural items in specific supernatural places.

According to what those old ghost masters said, ghost money was in circulation for a period of time, so there must be a supernatural place corresponding to the ghost money, and it is obviously the money house they are in now.

And from the deserted appearance of the bank I saw outside before, I knew that it had not been in operation for a long time, so the ghost money outside would only become less and less.

"Shuhang, let's go in and take a look," Su Yun said, pushing open the small door and walking into the bank. Song Shuhang naturally followed closely behind him. Since Senior Bai didn't follow, he had no choice but to stay with Su Yun. In this hellish world, he felt a little safer.

After Su Yun and the other person entered the bank, the remaining survivors outside ran even faster. It seemed that in their eyes, this building was a shelter, and as long as they could run inside, they could avoid death.

As the death toll increased, the ghost's killing speed also accelerated. However, its killing pattern was not that the slowest runner died first. Many men who ran in the front died first at the ghost's hands.

Instead, the woman at the back, a young-looking college student in her early twenties, ran to the building alive and took a look at the words on the plaque. The blood-red writing seemed to be dripping, and she was so frightened that she quickly pushed open the small door and walked into the bank.

"Hiss!" Song Shuhang was startled upon entering the bank. He could clearly see a free-standing wall in front of him, and the sound of running water could be heard from the courtyard.

A figure seemed embedded in the surrounding walls, hammering at them. Unable to break through, it scattered in all directions, only to converge and form in another place.

Directly east of this open-air vestibule, a stream meanders and converges into a small pool. However, what flows through this arrangement is not clear water, but murky dye.

It is hard not to remind them of the ghost post office and the vats of ghost dye in the portrait world, which is one of the raw materials for drawing ghost paintings.

That independent wall is called a screen wall in Chinese architecture.

A screen wall is a decorative and screen wall facing the main entrance. Some walls have movable supports underneath, resembling a roof ridge. The screen wall, also known as the Zhaobi (screening wall), was known in ancient times as the Xiaoqiang (xiaoqiang), meaning "troubles arise within the family."

In the old days, people believed that their homes were constantly visited by ghosts. If it was the spirit of an ancestor returning home, it was allowed, but if a wandering ghost sneaked into the house, it would bring disaster to the owner.

The screen wall is actually set up to deal with the impact of airflow outside the house. Its function is to block the impact of strong airflow from outside the house door on the interior of the house, and to preserve the vitality of the house.

The thing on the screen before me was far more terrifying than the wandering spirits in movies and TV shows. On the screen was a humanoid sculpture, carved in relief. The shape of this humanoid was extremely distorted.

The head was a distorted face, its eyes sunken and hollow, yet it seemed to be able to see into the deepest fears of the human heart. The corners of its mouth were deliberately stretched to its ears, revealing a strange expression that was neither crying nor laughing, which made people shudder.

The body was also twisted, with the limbs stretched in an extremely unnatural posture, as if experiencing some unimaginable pain and struggle.

The surface of the sculpture is covered with tiny cracks and holes, from which wisps of cold air seep out from time to time, making people feel a chill and terror.

There is more than just this one human-shaped carving on the screen wall. There is also another human figure with an unusually slender body. Its bone structure seems to have been twisted at will by invisible hands, and its joints are bent unnaturally, as if forcibly folded by some unknown force.

The skin was carved extremely delicately, yet covered with cracks and bluish-purple veins, like a long-dried riverbed, revealing an ominous aura of death.

It goes without saying that these human-shaped carvings in the screen wall are all evil spirits.

"Shuhang, which one do you like? I'll get it for you." Su Yun said to Song Shuhang, looking at the carvings on the screen wall.

"Brother, stop messing with the cultivation account I just set up." Song Shuhang didn't want to change from a cultivator with ethereal airs to a gloomy and terrifying ghost rider.

"Hahaha..." Su Yun was amused by Song Shuhang's expression. It was indeed quite amusing to have Venerable Bai bring Tyrant Song along.

Song Shuhang always imagined the ethereal image of a cultivator, but things always went against his wishes. Su Yun had originally been unsure whether Song Shuhang would have a connection with a demon, but now he was pretty sure.

"By the way, Shuhang, how does your ghost spirit feel?" Su Yun suddenly remembered that Song Shuhang still had a ghost spirit on him.

Song Shuhang seemed to have just remembered it, and reacted: "I had completely forgotten about it. I didn't seem to feel anything."

As he spoke, he released the spirit ghost. After the spirit ghost and Song Shuhang had signed a contract, it now looked like a cute version of Song Shuhang. After the spirit ghost emerged from Song Shuhang's body, it was somewhat bewildered, probably wondering why it could no longer sense spiritual energy.

"Fuck! Stop sucking randomly." Song Shuhang's ghost spirit seemed to sense some kind of energy and sucked it suddenly. Both the ghost spirit and Song Shuhang shuddered at the same time.

"..." Su Yun had just thought about it when it began. He could sense that Song Shuhang was already tainted with a spiritual aura, perhaps actively absorbed by the spirit ghost.

"Brother Yun, am I okay?" Song Shuhang felt cold all over and wanted to cry but couldn't.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem... Wait, someone seems to be coming." Su Yun raised his hand to signal.

Song Shuhang: "Are you sure it's a human?"

"Hoohoo... You're not dead, that's great! Why didn't you say anything?" a girl's voice suddenly came from behind. Two ordinary people would have had a heart attack in this kind of situation.

You can tell that the girl's voice is trembling and she is forcing herself to remain calm.

The two men looked at this girl who should be the only living person in the group. They could see a pretty face with clear eyebrows, a high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth. Every detail on her face revealed her elegance and refinement.

But this beautiful face had lost its color due to fear, becoming extremely pale, and his eyes revealed panic. Perhaps the way he had greeted her just now was also to ease the fear in his heart.

"Are you the only one left alive?" Song Shuhang looked behind him at the small door he had entered through, to make sure that the evil spirit behind him had not caught up with him.

After intensively studying the documents on the Ghost World, Song Shuhang knew that unless he possessed the ability to counteract the rules of killing, he would inevitably die if the rules were triggered by the ghosts. The difficulty of this dungeon was beyond the ability of a mere first-rank cultivator like him to handle.

If he had known that Senior Bai wanted to bring him to this kind of dungeon to broaden his horizons, he would have followed suit no matter what.

"They're all...all dead." The girl's voice was still trembling. She was able to control her emotions. Her mental quality was quite good.

"My name is Shi Qi, what about you?" Shi Qi seemed to want to ease his fear through communication.

"Song Shuhang."

"You're really careless," Su Yun couldn't help but tease. With Song Shuhang's personality, even if he relied on luck to become a powerful ghost rider, he wouldn't necessarily survive in the ghost world.

"Oh~ I forgot." Song Shuhang slapped his head, forgetting that he was in a mysterious place. He immediately looked at Shi Qi warily.

Shi Qi: ???
"That ghost won't chase me again, right?" Shi Qi still felt a little frightened when he mentioned the evil ghost.

"Well, that's it for now. This is good news. But there is also bad news. Do you see those? There are evil spirits everywhere here, but they haven't been alarmed. So be careful with your words and actions." Song Shuhang was really afraid that this girl would do something reckless and cause new evil spirits to revive, so he gestured for her to look towards the screen wall.

"Ah... ugh!" Shi Qicai almost cried out when she saw the terrifying human-shaped carving on the screen wall, but then she remembered Song Shuhang's instructions and forced herself to cover her mouth with her hands.

"Do you know where this is?" Shi Qi also noticed that Song Shuhang was easy to talk to, so he spoke to him in a low voice.
