A passerby in a horror movie

"By the Lord Guan Sheng, your disciple Li Haotian has learned that the people of this world all have black energy swirling between their brows. Upon investigation, it was discovered that their celestial souls are incomplete and occupied by an unknown substance."

Unable to obtain a response from the underworld even when seeking a way to deliver the souls of the dead, I have come here to seek the Emperor's guidance and enlightenment.

As he spoke, Li Haotian mobilized his magical power to sense if there was any movement around him.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no change in the statue of Guan Sheng Di Jun.

Helpless, Li Haotian picked up the Holy Grail from the altar, shook it in his hand, and then threw it to the ground.

The Holy Grail fell, but the result showed Yin Yin, meaning it was a Yin cup, indicating disagreement.

Li Haotian was not giving up and threw the ball a few more times.

The result was either Yang or Yin; the Holy Grail never agreed. This left Li Haotian completely dumbfounded.

"Did my divine intervention fail? Why is Lord Guan ignoring me, or did he simply not receive my message?"

Li Haotian's expression was somewhat solemn.

He knew that the gods in different worlds were also different.

For example, Huang Daxian in the world of the Mountain Village Corpse could not give much of a response, so he could only use the Holy Grail to guide Li Haotian.

In the world of Mr. Zombie, the Three Mao True Lords can directly manifest their power and even transmit their magic to the statues.

"Could it be that in the world of the Silkworm, even the gods can't provide guidance through the Holy Grail?"

If that's the case, it will be difficult for him to complete the mission.

However, Li Haotian did not give up.

Since Guan Sheng Di Jun (Lord Guan) cannot respond, let's try other deities.

After wandering around Xingtian Palace, Li Haotian tried various divine statues, but the result was the same; even throwing the Holy Grail was useless.

Even if the Holy Grail appears once, the next one will be something else.

Just as if it were a completely random throw, Li Haotian did not sense any special circumstances or divine power manifesting.

Left with no other choice, Li Haotian had to leave Xingtian Palace.

During this time, Li Haotian observed that the tourists inside Xingtian Palace, like the people he had seen before, all had black aura between their eyebrows.

Now he could be absolutely certain that the world of the Ghost Silk was definitely not normal. If Guan Sheng Di Jun could manifest his power, would he just stand by and do nothing in this situation?

It was almost noon when they left Xingtian Palace. Li Haotian and Hashimoto Yoshiharu had arranged to meet at noon, so they took a taxi to their destination.

Inside a restaurant, Li Haotian met Hashimoto Yoshiharu, who had been waiting at the door.

Upon seeing Li Haotian arrive, Hashimoto Yoshiharu, whose face had been serious, finally smiled and hurried over to greet him.

"Mr. Li, you've finally arrived!"

"I said with a smile," said Yoshiharu Hashimoto.

He was still alone, without bringing his anti-gravity team.

The two entered the private room, where Hashimoto Yoshiharu thoughtfully set out the food and drinks for Li Haotian.

Li Haotian didn't stand on ceremony. He was hungry anyway, so he picked up the food and started eating. To cater to his appetite, Hashimoto Yoshiharu had specially ordered Chinese food, and Li Haotian was quite satisfied with his meal.

After Li Haotian had almost finished eating, Hashimoto Yoshiharu finally spoke.

"Mr. Li, may I ask where you are from?"

Hashimoto Yoshiharu poured Li Haotian a glass of wine and asked him a question.

"I came from the mainland and am here as a tourist."

Li Haotian swirled the cup around and said with a smile.

“I see. I noticed that Mr. Li’s speech and behavior were different from those of the people here, so I guessed that you were not from Taiwan.”

I was truly amazed by Mr. Li's methods yesterday. Are there many extraordinary people like him on the mainland? I've heard that Taoist culture is very prevalent there, and there are many Taoist priests.

Yoshiharu Hashimoto stared intently at Li Haotian, his heart filled with emotion.

If he had met Li Haotian earlier, he wouldn't have had to expend so much effort, searching for seven years before finally encountering a ghost.

If he had known there were such extraordinary people on the mainland, he would have gone there long ago. Why would he stay on Taiwan?

"Not much, I suppose. Although I am a Taoist priest, I am only ordained in a small Taoist temple. I don't know much about other Taoist priests, and my master is no longer in this world."

Li Haotian shook his head and said, half-jokingly.

He had only been here for a day and hadn't even been to the continent of this world yet, so he knew absolutely nothing about it.

However, today at Xingtian Palace, Li Haotian also observed that the staff and Taoist priests stationed there did not have any magical power fluctuations; they were just ordinary people.

Xingtian Palace is a fairly large Taoist temple. If the Taoist priests there don't have any magical powers, then other Taoist temples are obviously in a similar situation.

"Oh I got it."

After listening to Li Haotian's words, Hashimoto Ryo nodded.

He was right, if people like Li Haotian were commonplace, how come he hadn't run into one in all these years?

Over the years, Yoshiharu Hashimoto has also made acquaintances with some religious people, but he has never met a remarkable person like Li Haotian.

"Ahem, I wonder if Mr. Li has ever seen a ghost before, and what his views on ghosts are?"

"I suddenly asked, Hashimoto Yoshiharu."

After taking Li Yaoxi's ghost back yesterday, he studied it for a while.

However, nothing was discovered.

Li Yaoxi simply maintained his habits from when he was alive, squatting there without saying a word. Even when he did speak, he would only move his mouth, and he couldn't hear what the other person was saying.

After a whole night, all he gained was dark circles under his eyes.

So he couldn't wait to hear what Li Haotian, a professional, thought about ghosts.

Why is Mr. Hashimoto so interested in ghosts?

According to Taoist beliefs, ghosts are not good things. Even if encountering them doesn't endanger your life, it can still bring bad luck. Mr. Hashimoto Yoshiharu should try to avoid contact with ghosts if he has nothing else to do.

Li Haotian shook his head, then asked in return.

After hearing Li Haotian's words, Hashimoto Yoshiharu remained silent for a while.

He originally wanted to get more information out of Li Haotian because he was young, but Li Haotian ignored him.

Indeed, given how obvious his behavior was, it was impossible for Li Haotian not to be suspicious.

Helpless, Hashimoto could only sigh.

"To be honest, I've grown weary of this world because of certain things."

For years I've been searching for ghosts, hoping to become one myself, to live a carefree and unburdened life like them, free from the torment of illness.

As he spoke, Yoshiharu Hashimoto lifted his injured leg out.

Although Yoshiharu Hashimoto was highly praised as the inventor of the Munger sponge.

However, he was constantly suppressed by those above him and was often ridiculed for his limp.

It's not surprising that Yoshiharu Hashimoto, who has been in a state of frustration and unfulfilled ambitions for many years, would have such thoughts.

Seeing that Hashimoto Yoshiharu had finally spoken his mind, Li Haotian stopped beating around the bush.
