Mhm, not bad!

The world is so big, I want to see it.

Life is more than just Bin City in front of you, there's also Ancheng in the distance.

[Day 7. You arrive at a place called Changgang Town and discover a suspicious Malevolent Ghost. It's wearing a wrinkled suit and looks like a corporate slave.

You're curious about the corporate slave ghost, so you follow it.]

[Day 8. You're still tailing it.

You notice it keeps stopping and searching. You wonder if this Malevolent Ghost is looking for its mother?

In the afternoon, you see it walk into a urology clinic.]

What the--

Jiang Qiao was dumbfounded.

Malevolent Ghosts need to see urologists too?

In an instant, a headline flashed through his mind:

Shocking! Malevolent Ghost Seeks Help from Old TCM Doctor Late at Night, Solves Years of Embarrassing Issues!

Ridiculous!

[You follow the Malevolent Ghost into the hospital and find it heading straight for the director's office. There's a bed inside.

An Evolver is lying on the bed, fast asleep.

The corporate slave ghost approaches the bed, takes out a rose from its embrace, and a sinister smile appears on its face.

You worry this is some kind of twisted "mouth-slitting" ghost, so you strike first. You rush forward, tear its mouth open, and kill it with a punch.

Your commotion is too loud and wakes up the Evolver on the bed.

You feel that one person's loneliness is two people's fault.

So you roll with the mistake and send the Evolver to accompany the "mouth-slitter."

From the Evolver, you find a business card with his name: Chen Pipi.

Below the name is an address: Haicheng Health College.]

[Day 9. You kill Malevolent Ghosts all the way. "Lightning Thunder Fist" and "Invincible Body" have been upgraded to the third tier. "Fate Dice" has been upgraded to the second tier.

The black cat's size has increased.]

[Day 10. Riding on the black cat's back, eating hot pot and singing songs, you lead the Ghost Infants to a place called Jieqiao Town.

This place looks like it was abandoned long ago.

Houses are dilapidated and collapsed, weeds grow everywhere, and the word "Demolish" is scrawled on the walls. It's likely that if not for the Supernatural Revival, the residents would be living good lives.

You discover a Tudi Temple in the small town. Inside, there's a young monk who has fainted from hunger on the ground.]

[Day 11. You wake up the young monk and discover he's a Buddhist Awakener who can bless items.

You feel his original name doesn't suit him and rename him Tang Sanzang.

At noon, you tell Sanzang that ghosts have no life, so ghost meat isn't meat. He, only ten years old, nods and eats three large bowls with tears in his eyes.]

???

Tang... Tang Sanzang?

Jiang Qiao blinked and chose to remain silent.

[Day 12. You and Sanzang cooperate to create the Explosive Wooden Fish, Flashing Prayer Beads, and Smoke Screen Incense.

You also successfully summon Namo Gatling Bodhisattva.

You place the Bodhisattva on a sedan chair.

The field of vision is excellent, and the efficiency of exorcising Malevolent Ghosts is also very high.]

[...]

[Day 15. After a few days of rest, your team embarks on the Anbin Expressway, because the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

The expressway is littered with abandoned vehicles and bloodstains, but no Malevolent Ghosts are found.]

[Day 16. You discover piles of white bones on the highway, with bite marks on them.

Following the bones, you arrive at a village by the roadside and find many animals, all carrying a ghostly aura.

These animals include livestock like pigs, cows, and sheep, as well as wild boars and mountain deer.

They have taken over the village and eaten all the humans they encountered.

They spot you and launch a frenzied attack.

You smile and activate stealth.

They instantly become dumbfounded, losing sight of you.]

You used the Bodhisattva's methods to subdue them one by one.

That evening, you made braised beef, steamed lamb ribs, charcoal-grilled pork legs, pan-seared foie gras...

The young monk and the white tiger ate until their mouths were greasy, and their strength had all improved.

Your Invincible Body has also been upgraded to the fourth stage.

You discovered that the ghostly energy contained within these animals was easy to absorb.

Day Seventeen. You found a problem with the road ahead; it was covered in dense, deformed flesh tumors.

These tumors were dark red and covered in blood vessels.

As the vanguard, several of your Ghost Infants were accidentally devoured by them.

Unable to discern their depth, you chose to bypass them without provocation.

Day Twenty-One. Your party passed by a cave, and a powerful suction suddenly emanated from within. Several of your Ghost Infants fell in.

Day Twenty-Four. You returned to the highway.

Your Ghost Infants discovered a team of Evolvers, numbering over twenty.

They were in the process of hunting down several Awakeners.

You noticed these Awakeners were very young and appeared to be students.

You were curious.

So, you threw over 100 Explosive Wooden Fish at the Evolvers.

They were immediately thrown into disarray, suffering heavy casualties.

The survivors lay on the ground, cursing you for being dishonorable and for resorting to sneak attacks.

Their vulgar words made you shake your head repeatedly.

You instructed Fahai to bless their foul mouths.

A flash of golden light passed, and all the curses the Evolvers uttered automatically turned into words of praise.

You were very satisfied.

Amidst a chorus of enthusiastic compliments, you sent them to the Pure Land.

Day Twenty-Six. The Awakeners' injuries were stabilized. Through questioning, you learned they were all students from Ancheng University.

They informed you that the important human stronghold, Great West City, had lost contact.

The Awakeners invited you to visit Ancheng.

After consideration, you declined.

You were now clear on the route from Bin City to Ancheng.

You decided to visit other cities.

Day Twenty-Nine. You headed in the direction of Lincheng. Along the way, you discovered another group of animals with ghostly energy. You stealthily approached and backstabbed them.

That night, your Lightning Thunder Fist broke through to the fourth stage.

Day Thirty. Night.

You encountered seven dwarves, each three feet tall, on the road. They wore old burial clothes and carried orange lanterns, driving a convertible carriage.

In the carriage sat a plump, corpulent woman.

She wore a tattered princess crown and a dirty formal gown, and she was gnawing on a fresh human leg.

You were at a distance and in stealth mode, so they did not detect you.

"Holy crap!"

Jiang Qiao looked at the content on the simulator.

A name flashed through his mind.

Snow White?
