"It's finally over."

Jiang Qiao took a deep breath, seeing the final mutual destruction outcome.

At the critical moment, Dual Pupils upgraded to the third stage, seemingly developing an ability similar to a ghost domain, actually allowing him to extract the Thunder Spirit within his body!

That last move must have been the self-destructing Thunder Spirit tactic.

This was truly a life-and-death gamble, just going for it.

This battle could be considered a milestone.

Moreover, he had gained quite a bit of information this time, and every piece was astonishing.

For example, there was a team beating gongs and drums within the smog of the North City District.

For example, besides Snow White, Hell Fairy Tale also included the ancient castle in the mountains.

Besides these, the crying in the sinkhole, the tumors on the highway, and the man-eating caves he had encountered before were all unknown, great horrors.

And with Jiang Qiao's current strength, he couldn't deal with any of them!

My heart is truly broken.

However, this time he had confirmed the Braided Girl's strength.

Fifth-tier Malevolent Ghost!

Although he had guessed it before, Jiang Qiao still felt a prickle of fear after confirming it.

It was only luck that he had managed to reach fifth-tier this time.

He had stumbled upon a free talent.

Otherwise, in forty to fifty days, he would have only reached fourth-tier at most.

He wouldn't have stood a chance.

"Using the Braided Girl's curse and Hell Fairy Tale's conflict was indeed effective."

Jiang Qiao recalled his actions during the simulation.

With insufficient strength, he really had to find ways to compensate in other areas.

"But..."

Jiang Qiao thought of that black cloak Malevolent Ghost and felt a bit conflicted.

That guy didn't seem to be the owner of the Black Castle.

When he had passed by the castle, he had seen a carriage with a disgusting man and a beautiful girl inside.

Although it was only a textual description, the contrast had left a deep impression on Jiang Qiao.

If the black cloak was just a subordinate of the castle's owner, then he had to be cautious about doing such things.

The Braided Girl could suppress the Malevolent Ghosts near Bin City, forcing them to flee.

Yet, one of the castle owner's subordinates could fight the Braided Girl to the death.

So what level was the owner?

"Using Hell Fairy Tale against the Braided Girl was completely playing with fire."

"One wrong move and he would be utterly annihilated."

Jiang Qiao sighed.

Damn it, he was caught between a rock and a hard place.

But he wasn't discouraged.

With a talent like "Those who see, share," he believed that even better things awaited him later.

Today he reached fifth-tier in fifty days.

When the Supernatural Revival truly began, perhaps he could reach sixth-tier in fifty days.

"But although my strength is improving rapidly now, my damage output is a bit insufficient."

"Most of my current talents are support-oriented."

"My damage mainly relies on Lightning Thunder Fist and the second-tier Dual Pupils."

"It's still too one-dimensional."

Jiang Qiao analyzed his situation.

Having too few methods was also a problem.

Facing different opponents, he only had these few tricks. It was fine for killing ghosts. If it were humans, they could easily target him.

"I hope some offensive talents appear later."

This was not something Jiang Qiao could control; he could only pray in his heart for the system dad to love him.

"By the way, Jiang Qiao, have you heard of the Creepy Tale Live Stream?"

Shen Yingning saw Jiang Qiao take out his phone and start scrolling through short videos, so she opened her mouth to start a conversation.

"Creepy Tale Live Stream?"

Hearing the name, Jiang Qiao's face showed a strange expression.

Holy crap.

This was his live stream from yesterday, wasn't it?

That Paper-Mache Fruit 100 Pro Max was still in his pocket.

But that thing could change its appearance, so his live stream hadn't revealed his face.

"Yeah, I heard the streamer last night went to a lot of haunted places in Bin City."

Next, Shen Yingning talked about where the streamer had gone, what kind of ghosts they encountered, and how, despite being reported numerous times for being too graphic, the stream wasn't shut down.

"At first, everyone thought it was fake."

"But now, some people online are saying that the ghosts the streamer encountered were their relatives and friends."

Saying this, Shen Yingning turned her head and asked curiously:

"Jiang Qiao, are there really so many ghosts in this world?"

This question stumped Jiang Qiao.

It wasn't a question of whether ghosts existed or how many there were in this world.

It was that in a few days, the world would directly turn into the underworld.

After thinking for a moment, he replied:

"Actually, Malevolent Ghosts have always existed; ordinary people just can't see them."

"For example, if you're driving on the road right now, you might suddenly..."

"Bang--!"

"Bang--!"

As Jiang Qiao was speaking, two loud noises suddenly came from nearby, startling him.

"Holy crap, did I just jinx it?"

The traffic had been blocked for twenty minutes.

At this moment, a large crowd was pointing and discussing on the roadside, most with expressions of shock and confusion.

Jiang Qiao rolled down his car window and watched as the arriving ambulance took away two bodies, falling into thought.

These two bodies had suddenly fallen from the sky, crashing onto the car opposite them, shattering the windshield.

However, there were no tall buildings or overpasses on either side of the road, no high ground.

Where did these bodies come from?

Besides, given the completeness of these two bodies, it was unlikely they fell from a very high place.

This was quite supernatural.

Even more supernatural was that Jiang Qiao couldn't sense any ghostly energy from them; they seemed like just two ordinary corpses.

In fact, in his Dual Pupils vision, he could even sense that the bodies still had body heat!

It was as if they had just died.

This was really spooky.

"Jiang Qiao, what do you think is going on?"

Shen Yingning beside him frowned slightly.

"How would I know what's going on? I'm curious too," Jiang Qiao retracted his gaze and said, "But the two bodies have clear features, and their faces are undamaged. Maybe the relevant authorities can identify them."

In this era of big data, unless you were a transmigrator who appeared out of nowhere like Jiang Qiao, there was usually something that could be found.

It just depended on whether they were willing to put in the effort to investigate.

"Mhm, I'll ask a friend about it later."

Shen Yingning nodded.

Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow when he heard this.

With that tone of certainty, her background must be quite significant.

Maybe I should ask her to borrow some money?

Ten minutes later, the blocked traffic resumed.

The onlookers also went their separate ways.

Shen Yingning started the car again.

But one thing was certain: this scene today would soon become a topic of conversation for many people.

It was too damn absurd.
