Ghost Infant Enters the Coffin! Death's Revival!

Ghost Infant Enters the Coffin! Death's Revival!

The sight was like a thunderclap exploding in the sky, striking everyone squarely on the crown of their heads.

Every elite from the Investigation Bureau stared wide-eyed at the scene, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Ghost...

Grave Robber Ghost...

Dead?

Several elites rubbed their eyes and even slapped themselves before finally confirming that they were neither mistaken nor dreaming.

The corpse on the ground made it clear that the Grave Robber Ghost had been executed.

They turned their stiff necks and looked toward Nightfall.

Chen Yu's face was shrouded in shadow, making his expression impossible to see.

Yet everyone could sense that there had to be a strange, cold smile on Chen Yu's face.

"Time to wrap this up."

Chen Yu had long since run out of patience. He rushed over and devoured the Grave Robber Ghost bite by bite.

"Smells earthy. As expected of a professional grave robber."

Chen Yu even offered a comment while eating.

[You have devoured the Grave Robber Ghost.]

[The Grave Robber Ghost has been digested.]

A surge of energy flooded Chen Yu's limbs and bones.

As expected of a level 14 Grave Robber Ghost. Its energy was far beyond anything those previous ghosts could compare to.

In the end, the energy spun wildly like a rapidly turning carousel before rushing into a ghost's body.

[The Grave Robber Ghost's energy has been absorbed by the Ghost Butcher Knife.]

[The Ghost Butcher Knife has risen from level 10 to level 11.]

[You have obtained the Grave Robber Ghost's Anomaly Ability.]

[Grave Robber Ghost Anomaly Ability: Through digging, you can obtain anything you need. This ability cannot ignore rules or create something from nothing; the desired object must exist in the world. The stronger and more valuable the item, the more difficult it will be to excavate.]

[Grave Robber Ghost Domain: Gloomy Ghost Domain. Covers an area of one hundred meters and causes anyone within its range to fall into boundless fear, losing the strength to fight.]

"Dig up anything I need?"

Chen Yu raised a brow. This was a real treasure.

Wouldn't that mean he could get whatever he wanted in the future?

And it truly suited the Grave Robber Ghost. After all, it had the word "robber" in its name.

Everything it dug up already existed somewhere in the world. In other words, if you obtained something through excavation, whoever originally had it would no longer have it.

And the harder something was to obtain, the harder it would be to dig up.

That meant he could easily dig up Huaxia currency after a few scoops, since Huaxia currency was easy to obtain.

Digging up a human head would be somewhat more difficult.

If he wanted to dig up something even more powerful, it would be harder still.

The Anomaly Ability was quite good, but the Ghost Domain was a little lackluster. Compared with the Slaughter Ghost Domain, it was practically a little brother.

"Though it's weaker, it doesn't consume much. Used well, it might produce an unexpected victory."

Chen Yu put those thoughts aside and looked at Li Hao, who was currently experiencing a ghost revival.

Li Hao was quite formidable, with tremendous strength.

After being defeated by the Grave Robber Ghost, the ghost within him had begun taking over his body. Yet his astonishing willpower allowed him to retain a shred of consciousness.

Chen Yu glared at Li Hao with his Time Ghost Eye. A mighty force from a higher dimension immediately spread outward, instantly suppressing the rampaging ghost inside Li Hao.

Li Hao returned to normal and collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat. It felt as though he had just taken a trip through hell.

When he came back to his senses, the way he looked at Chen Yu had completely changed.

Although he had been in a state of ghost revival just now, his mind had remained clear. In other words, he had witnessed every moment of Chen Yu defeating the Grave Robber Ghost, and he also knew exactly how Chen Yu had saved him.

He had never imagined Chen Yu would be this powerful.

Just moments ago, he had repeatedly tried to stop Chen Yu, terrified that Chen Yu would throw his life away. Who would have thought that after suddenly sitting up from his deathbed, he would realize the clown had been himself all along?

After Han Ningning and several Investigation Bureau members recovered from their shock, they hurried over to help Li Hao up and repeatedly thanked Chen Yu, their voices as respectful as could be.

Chen Yu merely nodded indifferently before looking toward the place the Grave Robber Ghost had just excavated.

There, a dark yellow river of flowing Corpse Oil had appeared.

It churned and roiled within.

"So this is the Rift? It looks disgusting enough, like a pot of boiling shit."

Chen Yu frowned.

Gurgle, gurgle!

At that moment, bubbles suddenly rose one after another from the Corpse Oil river.

Then, a green wooden coffin emerged from the Corpse Oil river!

"What is that?!"

No one knew what the coffin was.

But a coffin emerging from a Rift was definitely no good thing.

Sure enough.

The next moment!

The sound of an infant crying rang out.

Then a tiny figure flashed into view beside the coffin, its terrifying little ghost face filled with delight.

Ghost Infant!

The Ghost Infant's appearance made everyone's bodies tremble!

This was the big boss that had emerged from the Rift, the most terrifying thing currently in Linjiang City.

Who would have thought the thing that had thrown everyone into panic would be something so tiny?

[Waaah... in... in...]

After appearing, the Ghost Infant paid no attention to the solemn, vigilant Investigation Bureau elites or Chen Yu and the others.

Instead, it cried as it continuously kowtowed toward the coffin, as though performing some kind of ritual.

What was it doing?

Why was it worshipping the coffin?!

No one understood.

"It seems to really want to enter the coffin."

Captain Zhang Haiming said doubtfully.

Gurgle, gurgle.

The instant his voice fell.

More bubbles began rising from the Corpse Oil river.

Then, a human body emerged from the river, floating on the surface like a corpse.

"Captain! That's Yi Mingqiu, captain of the Cleansers!"

Li Hao recognized the person who had floated up at a glance!

It was Yi Mingqiu.

The Cleansers guarded the Rift, so naturally they had to enter the other side of it.

Normally, after the Cleansers entered the Rift, they would fall into slumber as long as no ghost forcibly broke through.

Once a ghost made any unusual move, they would appear. Though their bodies remained asleep, their minds stayed conscious, allowing them to communicate with people in the human world through special methods.

Yi Mingqiu, floating atop the Corpse Oil river, had his eyes tightly shut. His body was wrapped and entwined by the foul-smelling Corpse Oil.

The next moment.

He suddenly opened his eyes. He first glanced at the people around him, then his gaze landed on the coffin and the Ghost Infant.

His previously calm expression changed instantly, and he cried out, "Oh no!"

"What does that mean?"

Everyone looked utterly confused.

Li Hao asked, "Captain, what exactly happened?"

As captain of the Cleansers, Yi Mingqiu usually remained unruffled no matter how serious the situation was.

Yet now, his face looked so terrible.

That alone showed how horrifying this matter was.

Yi Mingqiu explained, "This coffin is called the Ghost Coffin. Ghosts have their own methods of gestation and growth, just as humans have their own methods of gestation and growth..."

"The Ghost Coffin is the Ghost Infant's incubation pool. Once the Ghost Infant enters the Ghost Coffin and successfully grows up... the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The Ghost Infant was currently just a baby, yet it had already caused widespread panic. The Investigation Bureau was helpless even against the infant Ghost Infant.

If it grew up, how could anyone possibly handle it?

No wonder Yi Mingqiu was so terrified.

"Then what do we do? Let's attack together and stop it from entering the Ghost Coffin!"

The other Investigation Bureau members shouted as well.

"Move aside. This is no longer something you can stop."

Yi Mingqiu moved his body before willing the ghosts within him awake.

Powerful Ghost Controllers could control multiple ghosts at once. Yang Wei and the others, for example, were people who controlled two ghosts.

The stronger ones could control three ghosts.

At the same time, controlling three ghosts required not only great strength, but tremendous luck as well. It could be said that fewer than ten people capable of controlling three ghosts might appear among a billion people.

Of course, that statistic only applied to other Ghost Controllers.

Chen Yu was an exception.

Chen Yu had nearly forgotten how many ghosts were inside his body.

As the captain of the Cleansers, Yi Mingqiu controlled three ghosts.

After sensing the auras of the three ghosts, Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly.

"Not bad. Three ghosts."

Yi Mingqiu was the strongest Ghost Controller Chen Yu had seen so far.

Becoming captain of the Cleansers was enough to prove his strength.

The three ghosts unleashed their Anomaly Abilities at the same time and fought against the Ghost Infant.

[Buzz!]

[Long time no see. Finally, I have time to speak, my good friend.]

[The reason I haven't come out is because many people complained about me, saying I talk too much.]

[But if I don't speak, how will anyone know what level the ghost standing before you is, or what kind of ghost it is?]

[See? You still need me.]

[You have encountered a Ghost Controller who controls three ghosts. This Ghost Controller has a special constitution known as the Qi-less Physique. The three ghosts develop inside his body at the same time and divide all acquired energy among themselves.]

[In other words, they level up at the same time, so all three ghosts he controls are level 15 existences.]

[Unfortunately, the thing standing before him is no ordinary ghost. It is the Ghost Infant.]

[Even I cannot detect its level!]

[My God, how did you provoke the Ghost Infant? Oh, what I mean is, this is truly courting death!]

His phone kept vibrating as lines of flame-flickering text appeared across the screen.

Controlling three level 15 ghosts was indeed impressive.

At that moment, Yi Mingqiu had already charged toward the Ghost Infant.

[Waaah...]

The Ghost Infant kept kowtowing toward the Ghost Coffin. When it saw someone charging at it, it suddenly turned its head, and its crying spread outward like a sound wave.

It struck Yi Mingqiu directly.

The crying was one of the Ghost Infant's attack methods.

It even shared similarities with the Ghost Doll's curse.

Since he had never fought the Ghost Infant before, Yi Mingqiu was caught off guard.

The Ghost Mask within him helped him in time. Yi Mingqiu immediately put on the mask, blocking the invasion of the medium.

It directly blocked the cursed sound waves.

"A level 15 Ghost Mask. Not bad, not bad. With a ghost like that, any curses, sound waves, or Ghost Domain-type suppression will be useless against him."

Chen Yu silently began assessing the situation.

It seemed this guy really did have some skill.

Once Yi Mingqiu regained clarity, a massive fire axe appeared in his hand.

The axe head had several chips in it, and the body was battered beyond recognition, as though it had soaked in a puddle for hundreds of years.

Though it looked incredibly old, the moment it was taken out, its oppressive presence was terrifying!

The Ghost Fire Axe carried incomparable power. It tore through the air with a shrieking roar and chopped straight toward the Ghost Infant.

"Die!"

Yi Mingqiu shouted.

Seeing that its crying had no effect on Yi Mingqiu, the Ghost Infant hurriedly stopped crying and dodged to the side with its tiny body.

The Ghost Infant was extremely fast and small, so the Ghost Fire Axe failed to hit it.

But...

Yi Mingqiu was not discouraged. Instead, a hopeful look appeared on his face.

The Ghost Fire Axe was no ordinary fire axe.

The howling air currents were its medium.

Sure enough~

The next moment.

A burst of blood-red light erupted from the Ghost Infant's body.

As if it had been struck heavily by an axe.

An arm flew through the air.

But that was all.

The Ghost Infant quickly grew a new arm.

It was completely unaffected.

"This Ghost Fire Axe is somewhat similar to my butcher's knife, but its potential level seems rather low—only Level 5. I'm afraid it has no hope of restarting."

Chen Yu commented again, then nodded appreciatively.

The others watched with pounding hearts.

Too strong. A clash between powerful beings was actually this fierce.

They rarely got to see Yi Mingqiu, captain of the Cleansers, make a move.

Today had truly opened their eyes.

The Ghost Infant refused to be outdone. Its agile body moved like a phantom slipping through the darkness, flashing before Yi Mingqiu in an instant and biting down on his left hand.

Crack!

Riiip!

The Ghost Infant's teeth looked like steel needles embedded in its gums, a terrifying sight.

With one bite, they sank directly into the flesh of Yi Mingqiu's arm. It yanked hard, tearing apart his clothes and ripping off a large chunk of flesh.

Smack, smack—

Chewing sounds rang out. The Ghost Infant's mouth was covered in blood as it swallowed Yi Mingqiu's flesh.

Everyone gasped sharply.

Yi Mingqiu had no time to care about the pain in his arm.

The Ghost Fire Axe was powerful, but not fast enough!

With a thought, the next ghostly entity had already awakened.

A paper plane appeared in his hand!

The paper plane was folded from newspaper, with old blood faintly visible along its creases.

The moment the paper plane appeared, blood began dripping from it!

Yi Mingqiu bit his finger and used its blood as a medium, letting it drip directly onto the paper plane.

The falling blood formed an incredibly thin line, so fine it was nearly invisible to the naked eye, connecting to Yi Mingqiu's finger!

"Let's see whether you can dodge this Ghost Paper Plane!"

Once the Ghost Paper Plane was flung out, it transformed into countless paper planes in midair.

Each paper plane was connected to Yi Mingqiu's finger by a blood thread.
