The Ghostly Card Master: Starting With Myriad Ghosts Night Parade

A. Yes

B. No

C. Unable to answer

A series of questions involving ethics, logic, morality, common sense, faith, and memory finally concluded.

The woman in the black trench coat finished reviewing the Q&A records and then smiled at Zhong Yueming, "Inspection passed~ Welcome back, Xiao Ming!"

Zhong Yueming also let out a sigh of relief, "Team Leader Yang! Why are you personally conducting the [Return Check]? I have so much intel to report, this dungeon was incredibly thrilling!"

The woman, addressed as Team Leader Yang, walked forward with a smile, opening her arms to give her dear subordinate a hug.

Zhong Yueming was flattered. When had this Team Leader Yang, known for her aloofness, become so approachable?

Unexpectedly, as Team Leader Yang's hand brushed Zhong Yueming's shoulder, she immediately twisted and grabbed him, pinning him down tightly!

A deep blue light flashed, and a tall nun in black, wielding an iron flail, appeared, looking down at Zhong Yueming with disdain.

This was the [Executioner Nun], Team Leader Yang's Blue Rare card!

The team leader had even summoned her card, so Zhong Yueming realized something major must have happened!

"What's going on, Team Leader Yang? Didn't I pass the inspection?"

"In the forbidden test questions, you chose [eyeball] as a positive word. Your consciousness has been contaminated, didn't you notice!?"

Zhong Yueming instantly broke out in a cold sweat, his sanity value plummeting. An eyeball concept contamination could only mean [Eyeless Ghost]!

He quickly confessed, "I had physical contact with an [Eyeless Ghost]!"

The team leader frowned slightly, "Physical contact? Then it's highly likely it's a [Parasite]!"

She quickly pulled off Zhong Yueming's shirt, revealing the young man's fit physique;

An eyeball had abruptly grown on his shoulder, spinning around and greedily scanning the present world.

The [Eyeless Ghost] hadn't died completely! It had secretly parasitized Zhong Yueming's body, yet he hadn't noticed.

"Nun, use [Purification of Sin] to cleanse his sins!"

The [Executioner Nun] pressed down with her five fingers, condensing a clear, cold, silvery white holy light that shone directly at the strange eyeball.

The demonic eye, as if coated in salt, began to twitch and struggle on Zhong Yueming's shoulder. It eventually detached from his body, pulling out several capillaries along with it.

Before the eyeball could even hit the ground, the nun's iron flail, imbued with the purifying silver light, swung down, crushing the demonic eye in mid-air.

Zhong Yueming clutched his shoulder, in immense pain.

But what made him even more fearful was the [Eyeless Ghost]'s parasitic method;

He had been infected without a sound, not only was he unaware, but even the Green-tier [Purification] couldn't detect any abnormalities.

Fortunately, Team Leader Yang was meticulous and skilled enough to subdue it.

Otherwise, if he had walked around with a demonic eye on his shoulder, it would have caused even more severe contamination!

The [Executioner Nun] coldly scrutinized the small Zhong lying on the ground. Zhong Yueming feared the Card Spirit's next words would be "Guilty!"

After a while, the powerful nun averted her gaze, and the serious, oppressive atmosphere dissipated.

"It should be fine now, but your contamination level will still be classified as Deep Green. You'll undergo a 14-day isolation period as usual, with an assessment every 3 days. A review will be conducted every 7 days.

During this time, you'll focus on writing your dungeon report."

"Understood, thank you, Team Leader Yang."

After a simple treatment and bandaging, Zhong Yueming quickly submitted the Green-tier material [Forbidden Scripture].

Once all the necessary procedures were completed, Zhong Yueming, now alone, suddenly began to worry about Lin Chen.

If he, a beginner Card Master, had fallen victim, could Lin Chen, a novice trainee Card Master, also be [Parasitized]?

However, firstly, Lin Chen hadn't had direct contact with the [Eyeless Ghost]. Secondly, Lin Chen had a Purple-tier Divine [Guardian] card!

Recalling the majesty of the two Door Gods, Zhong Yueming felt he was overthinking things.

How could any Malevolent Spirit possibly get close to Lin Chen!

Just then, his peripheral vision caught sight of a ticket that had appeared on his dorm desk at some point.

He leaned closer and saw it was a scarlet subway ticket with "Welcome aboard the Coffin Train" written on it.

He remembered the host of the Midnight Caller Radio saying at the end of the dungeon: "The program team will be sending you a return gift. We look forward to seeing you again~"

Damn it, the [Myriad Ghosts Night Parade Dungeon] actually had a continuation!

The [Executioner Nun] makes her appearance. The author, along with the Executioner Nun, is here to ask for votes and follow-up reads! This is very important for the book's future traffic and recommendations!

The Executioner Nun coldly disdains, "If you don't vote, you are guilty!"

Chapter 8: The Re-emergence of the [Daoist] Sequence Card

H City Public Security Bureau, Prevention and Control Department

It was the same cold-faced team leader in black, Yang Moli, her brows furrowed as she instructed the accompanying prevention and control personnel:

"Classify Zhong Yueming's pollution level up by half a grade, making it Light Blue."

"Team Leader Yang, have you discovered another issue?"

"Zhong Yueming's past records show he was an atheist, but this time when asked if he believed in any deities, he answered 'yes.' It's highly likely that this dungeon run caused him to become involved with an Evil God's faith. According to the 'Principle of Avoiding Evil God Names,' I didn't press for details. However, Zhong Yueming must be strictly monitored, and the surveillance records need to be distorted to prevent Evil God contamination."

"Understood!"

The team members immediately carried out their orders. Team Leader Yang Moli sighed with slight fatigue, "Which Evil God popped up this time?"

H City, Binjiang Street, Xin'an Residential Area

Lin Chen returned to the original owner's home in this world with the two Door Gods. Upon returning to the real world and searching online, Lin Chen managed to grasp the basic situation of this world: Over a hundred years ago, anomalies launched a full-scale invasion of the real world, causing countless human deaths. The surviving humans pooled their resources to develop spirit-attaching card technology; using some human heroes as prototypes, they visualized and replicated various sequences of heroic spirit cards—Guardians, Nuns, Fighters, Scouts, and so on. With these Card Spirits, they managed to fend off the attacks of the malevolent spirits, but humans currently only occupy the territories of a few countries. Other regions of the world have become Ghost Cities and dead lands. This has also led to the vast majority of historical heritage being severed and lost, with only a very small number of divine beliefs remaining. Present-day humans are a generation that survived the disaster, and their more steadfast path to salvation lies in heroic spirit cards and intelligent mechanical technology. Conversely, only those harmful strange creatures and cultists would "mysteriously" believe in gods. This has resulted in a terrible public perception of mythology, equating unknown deities with evil spirits. The previous generation's faith inheritance was broken, and this generation despises mythology. Lin Chen finally understood why benevolent gods did not respond; the soil for faith had already eroded. He also discovered that the original owner was an amateur, low-tier card maker. As a card maker, there were bound to be card materials at home, so Lin Chen immediately began searching. The first thing he found was a striking crimson subway card on the table, which read, "Welcome aboard the Coffin Train." "What bad luck!" Lin Chen realized this was the next dungeon after the Myriad Ghosts Night Parade. The summoning for anomaly dungeons is mandatory; there's no escaping it. Having a warning is already considered a considerate dungeon. "So I should thank them, right?" The next dungeon loomed like a sword hanging overhead, its arrival date unknown. Lin Chen couldn't rely solely on one Door God card; improving his strength was urgent, and he needed to create more cards! He finally found a card-making table in the workshop, covered with blank cards and various materials. Lin Chen's first thought was whether he could replicate another Door God card, essentially copying his existing solution. This was because, in the dungeon, Zhong Yueming had suggested that after returning to the real world, he wanted to replicate Lin Chen's Door God card. Replicated cards could be used by more people, saving them from the harm of anomalies, and Lin Chen could make a fortune from the copyright fees of this card! So, with the opportunity at hand, Lin Chen immediately tried to replicate the previous card-making steps, visualizing Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong... but the replication failed. Lin Chen then tried visualizing Zhong Kui, Shen Tu, Yu Lei, and other Door God images... but still failed. "Then it's not about visualizing the image. Why could I make it in the dungeon, but not now? What conditions were different then?" Comparing them carefully, he found it: the worship at the City God Temple! Lin Chen deduced, "It's the incense and faith! I added the power of incense and faith!" At that time, Lin Chen felt he had received the blessing of the City God Temple's incense and faith after the worship; if calculated from the start of the anomaly invasion, it would be over a hundred years of accumulated incense and faith! No wonder a few green and white materials could create a purple card! Now, without the incense and faith, the replication of the divine spirit card failed. Thus, incense and faith are the key elements for divine spirit cards to awaken and become cards.
