I spent some time at Headquarters, taking the time to deal with some unresolved Supernatural incidents in the Capital.
After that, Hu Jiu returned to his old lair.
At night, he sat on the balcony watching the moon, pondering the words the Prophet had spoken to him.
The Prophet was willing to reveal that information partly to recruit him, and partly to gain access to the Secret Peeker.
Although he was tempted, Hu Jiu ultimately didn't break his promise and try to get something for nothing. The Prophet's strength was even more formidable and extremely unpredictable than he had anticipated.
According to the Prophet, there are two main ways to travel to the Ghost World.
The Ghost World overlaps with the real world. By opening Ghost Domain in the real world and continuously increasing the terror of the Ghost Domain, the barrier will become thinner and thinner until cracks appear. At that time, one's ghost Ghost Domain can connect with the Ghost World.
However, most Ghost Tamers don't have such a strong Ghost Domain, as it consumes too much energy.
Using this method will randomly lead you to unknown areas of the Ghost World, which is extremely dangerous.
The barrier has been cracked, with endless consequences.
In short, don't try it unless absolutely necessary.
The second method is to use a special passage.
There is a place called the Endless Corridor, which has many doors. Through those doors, you can directly enter the Ghost World.
"There are loopholes in the barrier between the real world and the Ghost World. To plug those loopholes, it is said that long ago, Ghost Tamer of a certain era devoted all his efforts to building the Endless Corridor."
--These are the Prophet's original words, but he specifically emphasized that there is no need to explore the origin of the Endless Corridor; it is enough to know its function.
Just as Hu Jiu was deep in thought, a strange noise suddenly came from the living room.
Heavy breathing, muffled groans of suppressed pain, a sudden, sharp scream as he plopped down on the ground, accidentally triggering a new trap...
All at once, a multitude of wonders are essential.
Hu Jiu became interested. Who had the audacity to trespass on his private property?
He pushed open the door, left the bedroom, and slowly walked towards the living room.
A tall, thin figure dressed in a black robe, whose face was obscured, stood stiffly on the floor, not daring to move.
Snap, snap, snap...
Hu Jiu couldn't help but applaud. "Being able to enter my real residence, you've got some skill."
"Speak, what is your purpose? If you cannot give me a satisfactory answer, then you will stay here forever."
The tall, thin figure was taken aback. He had always been the one who was arrogant and domineering in front of others, but now someone was even more arrogant than him!
But why wasn't he angry? Why did he feel a strange sensation instead?
Could he be a masochist...?
"Cough cough cough..." He quickly coughed lightly, patting his chest, to dispel the bizarre thoughts in his mind, before slowly speaking:
"Hello Mr. Hu, I am Geheluos, the Judgment Angel of the Eternal Night Organization. I have come to invite you to join Evernight. With your strength, the organization will certainly provide you with the highest level of preferential treatment."
His Mandarin wasn't very fluent, but his attitude was surprisingly respectful. Actually, he didn't originally intend to be so respectful; a casual announcement from a superior would have sufficed. However, after experiencing some adventures in this mansion, he finally understood the true meaning of maintaining politeness.
"Geheluos?" Hu Jiu looked him up and down. "Is that your real name?"
Geheluos said earnestly, "I have abandoned my original name; Geheluos is my real name."
Hu Jiu chuckled, "I remember, my conflict with the Eternal Night Organization hasn't been over for very long. Where did you get the audacity to invite me to join?"
"Conflict? What conflict?" Geheluos asked, looking puzzled.
"You call yourself the Judgment Angel, so you must be a mid-to-high-ranking member of the Eternal Night Organization, right? Han Yang, a member of Evernight, stole the Ghost Fire Bomb from Headquarters and attacked me. Didn't you know about this?"
Hu Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hidden Supernatural aura surged in the room.
"Isn't that all in the past?" Geheluos said matter-of-factly.
"You weren't injured at all, and Evernight has already made ample compensation to you. There are no eternal enemies in this world. Once you join Evernight, everyone will be a partner in the organization, and conflicts and grudges will naturally dissipate."
The moment he finished speaking, the scene before him changed; mirrors appeared everywhere—up, down, left, right, front, and back—a dazzling array of reflections.
"Here we go again?" Geheluos frowned, a look of extreme annoyance flashing across his face.
"It seems you've already mastered the Magic Mirror. This is really troublesome."
As he spoke, his robes fluttered without wind, transforming into a massive black curtain that obscured all the mirrors.
"I had a feeling you might have control over the Magic Mirror, luckily I took precautions in advance."
He did his best to appear nonchalant, his deathly pale face concealed by a wide robe, his right hand clutching a recording pen ready to play at any moment. At the same time, he didn't forget to stubbornly insist:
"I admit you're strong, but if that's all you're capable of, I don't think you deserve to join Evernight."
"The power of Evernight is beyond your comprehension. The S-class Supernatural events currently erupting around the world are merely appetizers in our eyes."
Hearing Geheluos's taunts, Hu Jiu rolled his eyes. If he were really that strong, why would he be wasting his time spouting nonsense here?
Why not just throw a punch?
"What a blabbering bitch!" Hu Jiu quipped sharply.
Whether excited or angry, Geheluos gritted his teeth and was about to speak.
The next second.
With a whoosh!
Geheluos was split vertically in two, the two halves of his body falling to the left and right respectively.
The killing came too fast; he didn't even have time to react.
Fortunately, he was a Ghost Tamer, and although he was dismembered, he did not die on the spot. With his remaining strength, he pressed the switch on the recorder in his right hand.
A voice rang out in the Silence room, but unfortunately Hu Jiu couldn't understand it and could only memorize the pronunciation for the time being.
Immediately afterwards, Geheluos's dismembered body rapidly became transparent, about to disappear from the spot.
Perhaps having a way out, he became arrogant again; even though his head was split in two, his mouth could still open and close simultaneously.
Haha, didn't expect that, did you?
"Hu Jiu, you are very qualified to join the Eternal Night Organization. If you are willing, the gates of Evernight will be open for you within half a month."
"But if you exceed this deadline, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Hu Jiu reached out and grabbed hard. "No need to wait half a month, I'm ready to be ruthless to you right now!"
Geheluos's expression froze instantly; his escape was abruptly interrupted...
