Time passed bit by bit.
Jiang Qiao was very patient. He smoked a cigar while waiting for seven o'clock to arrive.
In his experience, Supernatural places followed a certain order. Every evening, the activity of Evil Spirits would begin to undergo a qualitative leap.
From ancient times to the present, most Ghost Stories had taken place at night. Perhaps this was related.
"Of all the places I've visited, Yan City should be the most terrifying. The City God System was the first Half-God I'd seen in reality, and apparently, it belonged to the top echelon even among Half-Gods."
"But if we're talking about the bizarre, Nightmare City is probably the truly bizarre one."
"The entire city itself is a gigantic ghost story, and inside it are all kinds of strange Vicious Ghosts and sinister ghost stories. A place like that is an absolutely explosive existence even across the entire Supernatural World."
Jiang Qiao had not only visited the outskirts of Nightmare City himself and witnessed its terrifying atmosphere.
When he was in An City, he had also captured a female ghost born in Nightmare City that had invaded reality.
That female ghost was not very strong, but it possessed Self-awareness.
Thus, communicating with it had given Jiang Qiao a great deal of useful information about Nightmare City.
For example.
The lord and Vice City Lord of Nightmare City were both ghost stories.
Yet the strongest existence in the city was not the city lord, but an entity the female ghost called "the Warden." Its strength was suspected to have reached the Demigod-Class.
It managed the prison located in the deepest part of Nightmare City, where many bizarre entities and humans were imprisoned.
But that was precisely where the problem lay.
What kind of prison required a Demigod to guard it?
