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

Chapter 80: Adventure in the Ghost World (Part )
"So there are four coffin nails in total." Su Yun watched the live broadcast. Morty and several other evil spirits fought against the ghost catcher together, while Rick was trying to find a way to open the coffin.

He noticed that the four corners of the coffin lid had a hole, as if something had been nailed there. This, combined with the information in the original novel that Wang Xiaoming used the ghost in the ghost coffin to create fake coffin nails, made the holes look like they were made of something.

Su Yun came to a conclusion that the ghost was not perfectly conceived at this time, and the coffin nails that Yang Jian got were most likely made from a perfectly conceived ghost.

The ghost coffin is the source, and the ghost domain of Huanggang Village is essentially the ghost coffin. The relationship between the ghost messenger and the ghost coffin they saw is a bit like the relationship between ghost paintings and derived paintings.

It was probably a very powerful ghost rider in the Republic of China who took advantage of the ghost coffin's ability to breed ghost messengers and made the ghost messengers into coffin nails after breeding.

The coffin nails made by Wang Xiaoming have defects and are not perfect. It is not because he cannot develop them, but because they are very fragile. It is very dangerous to deeply tap into this ability.

The ghost controller who made the coffin nails was different. He could control the powerful power of evil spirits and make perfect coffin nails naturally if he had ideas.

Su Yun threw the ghost scale into the cash box and asked Shi Qi to lead the way. He now planned to go and get Song Shuhang out.

They first walked through the corridor and then entered the shopkeeper's room. There seemed to be a big hole on the west wall of the shopkeeper's room, and a rotten wooden board was nailed on it to block the hole.

On the north wall facing them was a copper coin ornament the size of a head. The pattern on the coin was so blurred that it was impossible to make out clearly. Below the coin ornament was a large wooden table, upon which sat a strange three-legged toad. Behind the table was a square armchair.

呱～
A toad chirped, and Su Yun was distracted for a moment before feeling nothing. Shi Qi, who was standing behind him, was also affected, and in a daze, he reached out to touch the three-legged golden toad.

Su Yun did not stop Shi Qi's actions. The evil spirits outside were all in a state of resurgence, while the spiritual land was still quiet. The evil spirits inside were considered to be severely suppressed.

If you cannot become a ghost rider even if you come into contact with evil spirits here, it is better to leave this hellish world as soon as possible.

After Shi Qi touched the three-legged golden toad, the golden toad seemed to be activated and merged into Shi Qi's body. Su Yun watched quietly from the side as the changes occurred in Shi Qi's body.

"Uh~" Shi Qi's eyes became blurred, and a hint of cruelty quickly flashed in his eyes. He grabbed the hairpin on his hair and pierced it through the tip of one of his fingers.

The intense pain stimulated her adrenaline, keeping her mentally alert.

"I thought he would become covered with pimples." Su Yun muttered to himself when he saw that the changes in Shi Qi's body became stable and patterns of copper coins flashed on his skin.

"In that case, I will definitely die first as a respect." Shi Qi took a few breaths and then responded to Su Yun's words with a joking remark.

Su Yun could see that the other party was trying to ease his emotions, so he also said, "Good luck."

"Yeah." Shi Qi nodded. She didn't know that Su Yun was referring to the situation of being suppressed by the spiritual land, which allowed her to control the ghost golden toad so easily, just like Yang Jian controlled the ghost eye at that time.

She had previously learned from Song Shuhang about the existence of ghost riders, and now she had become one. In this era of the resurrection of evil spirits, only by becoming a ghost rider could she and her family survive.

Shi Qi also understood this logic and did not think there was anything wrong with Su Yun watching her go through everything that had just happened.

Influencing mental states through chirping was merely a secondary supernatural influence, not the Ghost Toad's true ability. The Ghost Toad, suppressed within the bank, had only slightly revived under the influence of the debt-collecting ghost outside.

Su Yun also learned from Shi Qi about the debt collector's killing patterns. If the speculation was correct, this ghost could cause an S-level disaster if released into the real world.

It's not about strength; the Debt Collector isn't as powerful as the Ghost Painting. It's more about the Ghost Domain and its killing patterns. In the real world, this ghost would be the type to kill anyone on sight. If it had a little more growth potential, it would definitely be an S-rank ghost.

He didn't know what the abilities of the Golden Toad controlled by Shi Qi were, and he didn't ask. However, since it was a ghost placed in the bank, it was more or less related to money and transactions.

As the saying goes, a phoenix won't roost unless it's a phoenix tree, and a golden toad won't dwell unless it's a place of wealth. Placing a golden toad in a house has the power to attract, release, gather, and stabilize wealth, making it a particularly effective feng shui item for business and financial prosperity. Based on this belief, it might even attract supernatural objects. However, supernatural objects can also pose a threat to life, so Su Yun isn't sure if they're truly valuable.

Shi Qi, whose exposed skin now had copper coin marks on it from time to time, continued to lead the way. The two came to the east, where there was a double wooden door. They reached out and pushed it open, and a cold air rushed towards them, as if they had instantly crossed some kind of boundary and arrived in another strange space.

What appeared before them was another room, a room that seemed to be in a different space from the one they were currently in. The air was filled with a damp and stale smell, a mixture of a faint musty smell and a subtle hint of ink.

"It's here. Your friend was swallowed by the painting in this room." Shi Qi pointed to the room and said.

The light in the room was extremely dim. Only a few rays of light from unknown sources came in from the window and a few flickering candles could barely illuminate the interior space.

The room's layout was intricate, with each piece of furniture seemingly carefully placed, yet revealing a strange sense of clutter. An old wooden table, its surface covered with traces of time, held a few yellowed books.

The furniture and books were all ordinary, just commonplace objects. The only uncanny object in this room was the derivative ghost paintings hanging on the wall, and there were more than one.

The surrounding walls were covered with a variety of paintings, but upon closer inspection, the styles of these paintings varied greatly, some even distorted and deformed, and the scenes in the paintings seemed to depict some kind of horror. Not all of them were ghost paintings, but there were also many paintings that gave people a cold and depressing feeling.

Several of the paintings were particularly eye-catching, and they were also the largest. One of them was an oil painting facing Su Yun, depicting a desolate cemetery.

In the moonlight, unrecognizable words were engraved on a tombstone. In front of the tombstone, a slender and strange figure stood with its back to the people outside the painting and its head lowered. There was also a black shadow stretched out in the moonlight, appearing extremely lonely and strange.

The painting on the right-hand wall depicted a dark forest in the center. The trees twisted and grew, their branches tangled into an impenetrable web, as if to devour everything. Moonlight shone thinly through the clouds, barely illuminating a corner of the forest. Faintly, countless ghostly figures lurked within.

The painting on the left seemed to depict an endless corridor, flanked by countless doors, each carved with symbols and patterns from different eras. A faint mist filled the corridor, making it difficult to discern the direction.

In this painting, time seems to have lost its linear flow and become an intricate maze. People can be seen trying to push open doors, searching for a way out, but each attempt only leads them deeper into confusion and bewilderment.

In the corner stood a painting of similar size, showing a room empty except for a huge mirror in the center.

Instead of reflecting the scene inside the room, the mirror revealed blurry figures, some standing, some kneeling, their faces etched with deep sorrow and despair. These souls seemed trapped within the mirror by some force, unable to escape, unable to escape, only to endlessly repeat the same movements, uttering silent wails.

In addition to the four paintings, there are many other paintings that are almost the size of A4 paper, some of which show even more terrifying scenes. However, the real horror lies in the mysterious aura emanating from these four paintings, which gives people the feeling that they may be pulled into the painting at any time.

The other paintings may be ordinary derivatives of ghost paintings, but the four largest paintings definitely represent very scary ghosts.

Su Yun was not very familiar with three of the paintings, and he thought the mirror in the last painting was most likely a ghost mirror.

Perhaps this painting leads to the world within the ghost mirror. Of course, it could also be the mirror world that Lin Bei entered while controlling the mirror ghost.

You know, there are countless evil spirits imprisoned in the ghost mirror. The first painting looks a bit like a cemetery, but I don't know if it is the cemetery in Dahai City.

However, the common point is that they are places where many evil spirits are imprisoned. Since this is the case with both paintings, it is reasonable to speculate that the other two paintings also represent places where a large number of evil spirits are imprisoned.

"Which painting swallowed him?" Su Yun asked. He felt it wasn't the four large paintings, otherwise Song Shuhang would probably be asking for help in the chat group by now.

It can be seen that after he entered the inner space of this ghost painting, he was quite safe for a while.

After controlling the ghost golden toad and becoming a ghost rider, Shi Qi became much bolder. His eyes swept across the paintings on the wall and finally stopped at a larger oil painting in the corner.
