Looking at those words...
Ji Yan could not help thinking of the [Lying Sheepskin Scroll].
Tang Lu had stepped on a mine without any precautions precisely because the sudden appearance of those Tier 6 and Tier 7 Consumption Ghosts had deceived the scrutiny of [Traces].
As for how they had been deceived, it was very likely because of those crooked words above.
It had written down a Tier 6 Consumption Ghost, thus creating a Tier 6 one out of thin air!
After the Tier 6 Consumption Ghost was slain, it wrote, "Revive, Tier 7 Consumption Ghost." Thus, the Consumption Ghost was revived and completed its advancement!
Wasn't this exactly like the [Lying Sheepskin Scroll]'s ability—Word of Law Follows?!
Ji Yan fixed his gaze on that yellowed sheet of paper, but [Omniscient Understanding] did not react.
When he focused on the slender pencil, [Omniscient Understanding] was triggered. Ji Yan immediately took a deep breath and got his answer...
The one writing these words was neither human nor eerie, but this pen!
The "container carrying traces of its existence" mentioned by [Omniscient Understanding] earlier referred to this pen.
There was a reason Ji Yan sucked in a cold breath.
This pen could write "advance," and the Consumption Ghost would advance without even needing any conditions. That was simply absurd.
After all, for the [Lying Sheepskin Scroll] to achieve Word of Law Follows, it needed to successfully deceive its target.
So, was this pen an Eerie Item?
If it was an Eerie Item, what grade could possibly match such a terrifying ability? Collector's Grade? Rare Grade?!
And what level of eerie being was the Eerie Master on this pen?
Ji Yan reached out and wiped away the dust on the paper, revealing another line of crooked writing.
"Kill... all invading humans..."
