Zheng Li used the supernatural Supernatural of the Fierce Ghost spirit to suppress the strange movements within her abdominal cavity.

Half a minute later, he touched his now-calm stomach, drenched in cold sweat, and muttered, "Just as the rumors said, this place is indeed eerie!"

After adjusting his mindset slightly and thinking for a moment, he decided to continue walking indoors, adhering to the principle of "since I'm already here."

But just three minutes later, his abdomen began to swell uncontrollably again, even stretching his clothes open and revealing his round belly.

His belly trembled and writhed, as if some living thing was struggling inside.

Before Zheng Li could react, his stomach suddenly ripped open, and a clump of knotted intestines shot out.

The clump of intestines fell to the floor, thrashing about like an independent life form, oozing a foul-smelling, yellowish-brown, murky liquid.

Zheng Li was shocked. He couldn't understand what was happening before him. Fortunately, he was a Ghost Tamer, so even if he lost his intestines, he wouldn't die easily.

He endured the excruciating pain, trying to retrieve the lump of intestine; if he went to the hospital now, it might still be able to be reattached.

But the intestines avoided his hand and ran away.

His intestines came out on their own...

Zheng Li was completely terrified. He finally realized that this mansion was far more bizarre and terrifying than he had imagined!

With a gritted teeth, he gave up on retrieving the intestines and turned to retreat.

Unfortunately, the path we came from has disappeared.

He was so startled that he took a step back, and the surrounding scene immediately changed.

Dark shadows roamed the floor, the space suddenly became much larger, the walls turned pitch black, and all the furniture disappeared, leaving only an empty room.

The room was empty, with no doors or windows, except for a round lamp embedded in the ceiling, emitting a faint scarlet glow.

Zheng Li felt uncomfortable all over her body, and the process of the Fierce Ghost Revival within her suddenly accelerated.

"There's something wrong with the lighting!"

He took off his coat to block the red light above his head.

But the next second, the clothes started moving on their own. The fibers broke apart, the fabric turned into pieces, and quickly twisted into deformed limbs, running around the room with a clattering sound.

They all seemed to come alive, turning into tiny "cloth figures".

Zheng Li was at a loss, but at that moment her eyes were both painful and itchy, and her eyeballs bulged out uncontrollably, as if they were about to jump out of their sockets.

At the same time, Zheng Li suddenly felt a chill on her scalp, and large clumps of hair fell to the ground, like thin black threadworms rolling and wriggling on the ground.

Every organ in his body seemed to have gained freedom and independence, but for him personally, this was not a good thing.

In a state of extreme terror, Zheng Li irreversibly disintegrated on the spot, leaving a pile of human parts crawling all over the ground in a bizarre and bloody scene.

The Fierce Ghost he commanded, somehow attached to some part of his body, was also active alongside him.

Only a tender brain, along with a portion of the spinal nerves, lay quietly in place.

Suddenly, the space rippled.

Hu Jiu's figure slowly emerged, glancing at the mess with obvious disdain.

With a reach, the circular "red light" embedded in the ceiling fell directly into his palm.

That wasn't a red light, it was an eyeball!

It was taken from Geheluos back then, but Hu Jiu didn't have the energy to deal with it at the time, so he just left it at home.

The burglar who broke in was unlucky; he became Hu Jiu's test subject.

The ability of this scarlet eye is very peculiar. Hu Jiu was observing it in the dark just now and roughly discerned that the eye possesses the ability to "revive" and "activate".

Under the gaze of this eye, the Fierce Ghost within the Ghost Tamer will accelerate its resurgence and become abnormally active;

Under the gaze of this eye, human organs will activate independently.

After summarizing the two patterns above, Hu Jiu quickly disposed of the dismemberment scene, leaving only the brain, and then continued testing the scarlet eye.

They use all sorts of experimental subjects, including Supernatural Item, Fierce Ghost, and living creatures, to conduct tests.

Finally, a few more patterns were added.

A vengeful Fierce Ghost has crashed and is targeted by the Scarlet Eye will be forcibly revived;

When Supernatural Item is observed, the ghost inside it will be forcibly revived;

Inorganic matter, under the gaze of this eye, will possess an inexplicable and bizarre "activity," and inanimate objects will be endowed with some of the characteristics of life.

The Ghost Eye's ability was quite unexpected; Hu Jiu directly embedded it in his left palm, naming it the [Revival Eye].

After dealing with the eye, Hu Jiu grabbed the exposed, soft brain and began interrogating the burglar.

The brain felt heavy, and my fingertips could feel its warm, moist surface.

Although it has been separated from the body, devoid of the five senses, and shrouded in the shadow of death, it still lives as usual under Hu Jiu's Supernatural erosion. Sparks of consciousness leap between nerve fibers, and the corridors of memory are quietly lit up.

Soon, Hu Jiu's brows furrowed slightly as the person named Zheng Li explained why she had come here to illegally trespass on a private residence.

"A rumor is circulating in the industry that Hu Jiu, a rising top Ghost Tamer in China, possesses a very magical Supernatural Item that can eliminate most of the negative effects of ghost taming, allowing him to control new ghosts without any side effects..."

This rumor suddenly started circulating for some reason, with all sorts of gossip and rumors coming out.

But no matter what, the underlying principle remains the same: many people genuinely believe that Hu Jiu must have a treasure in his possession!

Someone, I don't know who, has compiled a detailed summary of Hu Jiu's achievements since becoming Ghost Tamer, and his personal growth experience is the strongest proof of that!

No one knows whether Hu Jiu carried the rumored Supernatural Item with him or left it at home.

Everyone wants treasures, but trying to snatch them from Hu Jiu is probably unrealistic.

Zheng Li was just trying her luck, wanting to check things out at Hu Jiu's house first, but she ended up being dismembered by accident.

Hu Jiu obtained the information he wanted, and the brain he held in his hands gradually dissipated, completely vanishing into thin air without leaving a trace.

Rumors spread like wildfire in a short period of time, with some even summarizing Hu Jiu's upbringing and claiming that his home was also full of traps and crises.

Hu Jiu's first reaction was that this rumor seemed to have been deliberately spread.

It's obvious that the mastermind behind this probably has malicious intentions.

However, to be fair, Hu Jiu does indeed possess quite a few treasures.

Rumors are not entirely rumors.

Using this method to deal with a powerful person who has no bottom line and no morals is actually very difficult.

Hu Jiu had no intention of clarifying rumors or proving his innocence. He was the kind of person who wasn't afraid of causing trouble; if something happened, he'd make it bigger and bigger until it was blown out of proportion.
