The darkness did not last long.
When Hu Jiu regained his sight, he found himself in a strange room.
The floor, walls, and ceiling were all covered with mottled cracks and stained with a blood-red hue.
The blood-red color came from the light coming from outside the window.
The window was already broken and dilapidated, so Hu Jiu cautiously peeked inside.
He glanced at it and immediately backed away.
A huge, glowing red sphere hung high in the dark sky; I wasn't sure if it should be called the moon.
Visually, it appears to be more than ten times larger than the real moon.
The surface of this giant Red Moon is clearly visible, with its grooves and ridges, especially the raised outline that resembles a human smiling face.
Aside from the most striking Red Moon, looking out the window into the distance, one sees what appears to be an abandoned city, with dilapidated buildings everywhere, a scene of utter desolation devoid of any sign of life.
"This should also be considered a kind of time travel, right?" Hu Jiu thought with a good attitude.
He knew very well that it was probably because he had fought too fiercely with the leader of the Evernight that the barrier of reality had developed a hole.
Therefore, this strange place in front of us is very likely the Ghost World that the Prophet spoke of!
I never expected that the first thing I would encounter upon entering the Ghost World would be Red Moon.
Hu Jiu had no idea about the connection between the Red Moon in the Ghost World and the Red Moon in the real world.
Suddenly found in a completely unfamiliar environment, he was more concerned about his own survival.
After all... even the air here is filled with a violent, Supernatural aura. He might dare to act recklessly in the real world, but he'd have to think twice in the Ghost World.
While it was still relatively safe, he took the opportunity to conduct a simple test of his various abilities.
The Ghost Domain was the most severely affected. Although it could still be opened with difficulty, it was greatly suppressed, probably due to the surge in external "pressure".
The absence of the Ghost Domain is somewhat inconvenient, but fortunately, all other abilities can still be used smoothly. For the time being, there's no need to worry about survival.
With his survival secured, Hu Jiu felt a little relieved and continued to observe his surroundings.
"I entered this place from the Glory City, and I'll probably have to find my way out from here as well. I'll look around and explore first."
Although the Ghost World may be fraught with danger, risk sometimes represents opportunity.
Looking out the window, Hu Jiu's room appears to be on the fourth or fifth floor of some building.
He gently pushed open the door. Outside was a seemingly normal corridor, stairs, and other doors, with only occasional scratch and bite marks, as if this were just an ordinary abandoned apartment.
As soon as Hu Jiu stepped out of the room, a figure with a ferocious face, no lips, exposed teeth, and a belly swollen like a pregnant woman pounced on him.
An invisible force pushed it away. Hu Jiu glanced at it and saw that it appeared to be a Ghost Slave.
So here's the question: the Ghost Slave must have been transformed from a living person, and that Ghost Slave was wearing very trendy, modern clothing.
Why would he be in a place like this?
Could he be an unlucky soul who was accidentally dragged into the Ghost World?
Hu Jiu cautiously advanced along the corridor, and after a short while, another large-bellied Ghost Slave with the same shape appeared.
The Ghost Slave seemed to have appeared out of thin air and was once again casually eliminated by Hu Jiu.
But as he walked, in less than a minute, many of the Ghost Slaves, some with large bellies and some whose bellies had even burst, fell far behind him.
With a hideous face, resembling a zombie, an ordinary person would probably be terrified to the point of madness upon seeing such a scene!
One of the Ghost Slaves, with its mouth wide open, lunged at Hu Jiu.
With a flick of his finger, Hu Jiu released an extremely cold aura from his fingertip, instantly freezing the Ghost Slaves into ice sculptures.
After dealing with the Ghost Slave, Hu Jiu continued forward.
Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong.
A feeling of hunger welled up in my stomach, and I really wanted to eat.
Normal people get tired, thirsty, and hungry, but it's abnormal for Hu Jiu to experience these symptoms.
He was no longer human, and he could control various data indicators of his body.
You only adjust your appetite when you want to enjoy food; there's no reason why you'll suddenly want to eat!
At that moment, he desperately wanted to eat; it seemed even the walls and floor were emanating enticing aromas of food, as if waving little handkerchiefs and beckoning, "Come and eat me!"
"What's going on? Has the Supernatural protection I have failed?" Hu Jiu felt a chill run down his spine.
He fell for it so quickly, and why didn't his defense work?
The next second, a transparent film formed by Supernatural power covered Hu Jiu's entire body.
This thin film acts like a shield, effectively isolating it from external Supernatural influences.
However, Hu Jiu's condition did not change; he still felt hungry!
That's really scary.
The force that influenced Hu Jiu was either far stronger than him, easily penetrating his defenses, or too peculiar, able to bypass his defenses in some strange way.
Either way is terrible!
Hu Jiu seemed to understand why those Ghost Slaves all had large bellies, some even with their bellies burst open.
An indescribable hunger emanated from my body; it wasn't just physical hunger, but a hunger that gnawed at my spirit and soul.
Eager to find food, they discovered there were no normal edible items around, but the door panels, the ground, and the walls were emitting a fragrant aroma.
Fortunately, Hu Jiu was able to suppress this urge to eat. He was always good at enduring hardship. Before becoming Ghost Tamer, he had wanted to kill countless times, but he had always managed to suppress it.
That feeling is much stronger than enduring hunger!
The walls and floor smelled delicious, but Hu Jiu would never eat dirt, and he couldn't eat anything at all right now.
This abnormal hunger, once you eat something, will never produce a feeling of satisfaction or fullness, but will instead generate even greater hunger!
Why aren't you eating...?
A hoarse voice reached my ears.
Hu Jiu's expression immediately changed; someone had actually approached!
Turning around, he saw a disheveled, ragged man only two steps away.
Without a second thought, Hu Jiu quickly moved away, simultaneously setting the man ablaze with a cluster of Ghost Fire.
In the real world, this level of Ghost Fire would be enough to easily kill Ghost Tamer commands an A-level Fierce Ghost spirit.
To Hu Jiu's astonishment, the ragged man actually opened his mouth wide and took a bite of the Ghost Fire.
Immediately afterwards, a joyful expression appeared on his face, and he began to devour the Ghost Fire on his body, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better that he was savoring some unparalleled delicacy.
"I haven't had anything this delicious in ages, can I have some more?" The man's gaze toward Hu Jiu grew increasingly fervent.
Hu Jiu's lips twitched, his eyes fixed on the man, and under his gaze, Frost descended.
