In a remote and secluded village, Kang Yu, dressed in a gray overcoat, sneaked into a house.
All the young people in the village have left, leaving only some elderly people living alone and children left behind.
Without hesitation, Kang Yu killed the residents of the house, then went to the cellar in the backyard, entered the cellar, picked up a hammer, and smashed it heavily against the surrounding walls.
One of the walls was smashed, revealing a dark and deep passage.
The passageway was narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time. It was dark inside, so Kang Yu turned on his phone's Flashlight and discovered that it was covered in dust and cobwebs, indicating that it had been abandoned for quite some time.
Kang Yu cautiously walked in. The passage was narrow at first, only wide enough for one person to pass through, but it widened as she went further until she reached the end, where a strange door stood.
The door was covered with strange patterns and symbols of unknown meaning, and there was a keyhole at the bottom.
Kang Yu opened his palm, and in his hand he was clutching a silver key.
The key was given to him by the Executor; it's a one-time use item that can only open the door in front of him and will be destroyed after use.
So far, Kang Yu has not encountered any danger. He doesn't understand why the Executor doesn't come and open the door himself, but insists on making him do it.
But none of that matters anymore; it was just a deal. He worked for the Executor, and the Executor gave him the opportunity for revenge and to try to resurrect his family.
Kang Yu was cursed, and not just one curse. These curses affected his blood relatives, and all those who were directly related to him by blood suffered misfortune. The closer the blood relationship, the more unfortunate they were.
He could only watch helplessly as his family members died one by one. No matter how he investigated, it was all just a series of coincidences that led to accidents. However, he knew clearly that with so many accidents happening around him, it couldn't possibly be an accident.
As the son of a high-ranking official, Kang Yu had never experienced such despair. Given his status, he was not afraid of offending people. Needless to say, those who had offended him were readily available; without him even having to say a word, countless people eager to curry favor with him would kick him when he was down. He had always been sunny, cheerful, and of impeccable character.
After unexpectedly becoming Ghost Tamer, Kang Yu received high attention from Headquarters. Apart from the side effect of controlling the Time Fierce Ghosts, he had hardly suffered any grievances in his life and still maintained his original personality and values.
As a result... they ran into a brick wall.
He plotted to murder Hu Jiu, thinking that Hu Jiu, like those he had hurt before, could be appeased by paying compensation.
However, the tables have turned, and Kang Yu is now in a subordinate position; clearly, he has not yet fully adapted to this change in status.
Standing at the door, he felt a vague unease. His body surged with Supernatural energy, ready to be unleashed at any moment, so that he could effectively avoid any danger that might arise.
He carefully inserted the key; without any effort, it turned automatically as soon as it entered the lock.
Then the entire door trembled slightly and slowly opened. Kang Yu raised his phone, shining the light inside, and saw what was inside.
The door itself is made of some kind of metal, which is very thick. It seems that pure gold was mixed into the interlayer during the casting process, which can effectively block out the Supernatural.
Behind the door was an enclosed space like an elevator, with the same material as the door on all four sides. Inside was only a corpse, whose clothing suggested it was from the Republican era.
The corpse was clutching a black bead in its hand, and there were some scratch marks on the wall, likely left when the corpse was imprisoned there before its death.
The enclosed, cramped space made of pure gold, the strange corpse from the Republican era— Kang Yu immediately guessed that the corpse must have been a Ghost Tamer in life, trapped here and died from exhaustion.
However, none of this mattered to Kang Yu; his goal was the black bead in the corpse's hand.
The bead was about 4 centimeters in diameter and emitted a faint stench of decay. Just one glance at it gave one a creepy feeling; it was clearly not a good thing.
Kang Yu thought of the Corpse-Calming Pearl in the mouth of the dead. Without wasting any time, he put on a pair of special gloves made of materials mixed with gold, took the bead off, and put it into Golden Container.
Just then, the corpse moved and suddenly opened its eyes.
A strong sense of crisis suddenly surged into Kang Yu's heart. He had originally planned to put the body in Golden Corpse Bag, but upon seeing this scene, he turned and ran without thinking.
The task assigned to him by the Executor was twofold: first, to retrieve the bead; and second, to deliver it to a specific location— Linjiang City.
After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, Hu Jiu headed to an unfinished building where the Ghost Tamers from the Beidou Organization were currently located.
As soon as Hu Jiu arrived at the location, he saw Kaiyang, who was covered in dust and dirt.
Kaiyang returned only after he had stabilized his condition in a remote place and stopped emitting random Buddhist lights. His condition was relatively good; at least he had no external injuries.
The men he brought with him were all injured, and each of them had a gloomy expression.
There were five people present, besieging a single Executor, yet they suffered a crushing defeat. Their physical injuries were not severe; the psychological damage was far greater.
The five high-level Ghost Tamer of the Beidou Organization, including Kaiyang, one of the Seven Stars, could practically run rampant in this world. Who would have thought there were hidden masters in this world!
Kaiyang said that the Executor was also seriously injured by them and would not be able to cause trouble for a while.
I don't know if he was telling the truth or if he was just trying to save face.
Five well-prepared and powerful Ghost Tamers failed to defeat a single Executor, demonstrating the Executor's formidable strength.
Upon seeing Hu Jiu, the group immediately bombarded him with questions, since Hu Jiu was the one who provided the information about the Executor.
But Hu Jiu insisted that he only encountered it by chance and couldn't defeat it, so he told Big Dipper the information.
"I only provided information; who could have imagined you'd arrive so quickly?"
Hu Jiu didn't mention "reinforcements" or "request for help" at all. It was the Beidou Organization that saw an opportunity and came over on its own. They should bear the consequences.
The group was clearly dissatisfied with Hu Jiu's attitude. Kaiyang stood aside, frowning. A mysterious, unknown, and unclear super strongman was not a good thing for the Beidou Organization.
Worse still, he feared there was more than one such powerful individual!
The others were exchanging sarcastic remarks with Hu Jiu, but unfortunately, all four of them combined couldn't out-argue Hu Jiu. Just then, Kaiyang suddenly stood up with a serious expression, "Stop arguing, something's not right outside!"
Hu Jiu looked up and immediately noticed something was wrong; the visibility had decreased significantly.
