After breakfast, the two arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth and saw Hu Tao talking to his subordinates.

"Okay, I get it." Walnut said seriously.

"Good morning, Kurumi." Paimon waved at her.

"Good morning." Xun Yuanfeng.

"It's you. Good morning. Why did you come here suddenly? Are you here to handle business? If it's you, I can give you VVIP treatment and I will definitely do your business in a glorious way." Hu Tao said expectantly.

"We don't want this kind of treatment at all. No, we just heard about Wuwangpo and wanted to ask you about it." Paimeng said.

"Wuwangpo, Lao Meng just told me about this."

"What's going on? Is it really like they say, that they are here to occupy the bodies of living people?" Paimon said fearfully.

"Well, the specific situation is not clear yet. There has never been a situation where a large number of souls gather together. However, this matter has not been verified yet. Maybe that person just saw it wrong. For example, a drunk uncle mistook some tree shadows for ghosts. It is also possible."

"It's certainly possible."

"But we still have to go and take a look at the situation."

"Then let's go with you to take a look. Travelers have come into contact with this a lot recently and are very experienced." Paimon said proudly with his hands on his hips.

"I don't want to have this kind of experience at all." Xun Yuanfeng on the side couldn't help but complain.

"That's fine too. You can come back at 8 o'clock in the evening. If it's a ghost, it won't appear during the day. We'll gather here then."

At the appointed time, Xun Yuanfeng arrived at the Wangsheng Hall to gather, and Hu Tao was already waiting there.

"Now that you are here, let's set off." I followed Hu Tao to Wuwangpo. There were trees all around, and it was quiet. There was no one there, and no ghosts were seen.

"It's strange that I don't see any shadow?" Paimeng was originally hiding behind Xun Yuanfeng in fear, but when he saw that there was nothing around, he flew out from behind him.

"No." At this time, Walnut stared at the ground and said seriously, "They did appear here. There is still their breath around here. They should have moved to other places. The movement time should not be long. If you open the elemental vision, you can see the remaining breath in the air."

After hearing this, Xun Yuanfeng activated his elemental vision. The originally normal environment became obscure and dark, with black air floating around, which extended deep into the woods.

Following the guidance of the black air, they came to the depths of the woods where there were few people. They also saw the so-called black shadows. Many black shadows gathered here for unknown reasons. The difference was that the black shadows mentioned by people during the day had no visible facial features, just a black mass. But in Xun Yuanfeng's eyes, they were all individuals, both adults and children, and everyone's facial features were different, but they were translucent.

"This... this is..." Xun Yuanfeng was a little surprised when he suddenly saw so many human souls.

"Was this a mass grave in the past?" Xun Yuanfeng asked Hu Tao, who was squatting behind the bushes with him.

"No, it's not. I have explored this place before and not only is there no one buried here, there are not even a few souls. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with so many. This makes it interesting."

"What should we do now?" Paimon asked.

"Of course, we should go up and ask directly." After saying that, he stood up and walked towards a ghost. Xun Yuanfeng and Pai Meng, who stayed where they were, looked at each other and followed him.

"Hello, may I ask what are you doing here?" Walnut asked a ghost.

The ghost didn't respond at first, but then looked around and realized it was asking him, "Can you see me?"

Walnut: “Yes.”

Ghost: "I have seen living people before, but they either couldn't see me or couldn't hear me, and as soon as they saw me they screamed and ran away." He felt full of grievance and helplessness when he said this.

Walnut: "After all, I'm in this kind of business, so I do have some skills. You haven't answered my question yet."

Ghost: "We don't want to either. We were originally staying in the Land of Slumber, but recently we don't know what happened. That place has changed. It was supposed to be a place for ghosts like us to sleep, but now the ghosts there can't stand it and have all escaped from there. I don't know how to describe the feeling that we can't rest in peace. It will cause me pain if I stay here for a long time. Originally, we wouldn't feel pain because our physical bodies have disappeared. Later, we couldn't stand it anymore, so we escaped from that place. Now we can't enter that place anymore, so we have no choice but to wander around here."

Walnut: "So that's how it is."

Ghost: "You said you are specialized in this. Can you help us solve this problem? Staying in the world of the living for a long time will make our spirits weaker and weaker. Moreover, we cannot touch the sun. We have to find a place to hide as soon as the sun rises. We don't want to continue like this."

"Please help us."

"Yes, please." Before they knew it, the ghosts had gathered around them and begged them.

"What should we do about the travelers? Let's help them. They look so pitiful." Paimon looked at the souls around him and offered help.

"Don't worry. As the head of the Wangsheng Hall who is in charge of the boundary between life and death, I will definitely help you." Hu Tao promised them.

"I'll help too."

"Where do we enter the sleeping place you mentioned?" asked Walnut.

"This way, this way." After hearing their agreement, the surrounding souls immediately showed them the way.

Following the instructions of the ghosts, they walked into a cave. The cave was very deep and bottomless, and only darkness could be seen.

"It's here. We came out from inside." The ghosts pointed to the entrance of the cave.

"Okay, traveler, are you afraid?" Hu Tao asked Xun Yuanfeng while carrying the Homa on his shoulders.

"It's okay. I've been encountering ghosts recently. It's okay." Xun Yuanfeng shook his head.

"Traveler, you must protect me!" Paimon shrank his neck and stuck close to Xun Yuanfeng.

"Then let's go!" Walnut took the lead and walked towards the cave. Flames appeared from the protective membrane from time to time, illuminating the road.
