A thin mist infused with Immortal Attribute power rose in the room, and Feng Xue felt his vision clear instantly, the previous "chaotic" state instantly broken. At the same time, his eyes, which were coated with Ox Tear Eye Cream, also saw the Illusionary Flame entangled with the mist.

However, as the illusion dissipated, the black flames became viscous, and the newcomers were all lying on the ground convulsing, looking as if they were about to drown in the air.

"Hallucination/Suffocation, Dark Tide of the Night... There really are people who put all their abilities in their names!" Feng Xue grinned. "So, next up is Fuzhibi?"

Feeling the air gradually warming up, he took a deep breath of the viscous black fire, but felt no suffocation whatsoever.

Ultimately, although Wu looks like a human and has various internal organs, possessing functions such as eating and breathing, these are not essential for him, not to mention the internal circulation system established for him by the Kamen Rider Armor.

Taking a step forward, pushing aside the viscous flames that were crashing like giant waves, Feng Xue arrived in front of the Corporate Slave Man. Unfortunately, even now, he still showed no outward emotion.

"A hallucination! It must be a hallucination! Your spirit is also a hallucination type, right? You can't fool me! Shuoye Black Tide Unknown Fire Moon Eclipse!"

With the somewhat frantic roar of the office worker, the bluish-black flame Ghostly Shadow suddenly shook off the spirit lady, who still hadn't learned how to fight and could only suppress ghosts with her control panel. On the ceiling of the room, which was no more than four meters high, it transformed into a bluish-black fireball.

Thick flames rapidly converged towards the fireball, and an intense burning and suffocating sensation pressed down on Feng Xue.

However, even if Feng Xue had made the armor himself from bamboo, he wouldn't care about this pressure. He walked leisurely to the Corporate Slave Man, whose face was full of disbelief but who had no mental activity, and reached out to snatch the charred bracelet from his hand.

At that very moment, Feng Xue felt a sudden burning pain in her palm, and the bluish-black fireball suddenly fell from the ceiling, directly into the body of the Corporate Slave Man.

A piercing scream, accompanied by the crackling of burning grease, echoed through the room. Feng Xue finally sensed the presence of emotion in the Corporate Slave Man, but at this moment, his thoughts were reduced to only one thing—

The fear of death.

Seeing this, Feng Xue immediately took out a book from her bosom, flipped through a few pages, and then made a gesture imitating the pattern in the book, saying:

"Come!"

The single word uttered seemed to speak louder than a thousand words. The flames on the Corporate Slave Man's body instantly subsided, transforming into a palm-sized flame that flew to Feng Xue's fingertip.

However, at this moment Corporate Slave Man seemed to have completely lost his ability to think. Even with the many methods Feng Xue possessed, she could only roughly heal his physical body at most.

"It's hopeless, his soul has already been devoured." The spirit of the Ouija board landed beside Feng Xue and delivered the death sentence. Feng Xue glanced at the bluish-black fireball on his fingertip, then at the bracelet that, even through more than twenty layers of armor, still made him feel a clear burning pain, and casually tossed it aside.

"It's not psychological; it's a real burn." Feng Xue looked down at the bracelet she had thrown on the ground and frowned.

This thing was clearly the Possession Item the one called "Shuoye Black Tide Unknown Fire," but the impact it had on Feng Xue was even greater than that of the ghost itself.

"Let's give it a try."

Feng Xue glanced at the newcomers who were basically dead, Feng Xue took out the Omni-Press Drive from her pocket and transformed into Kamen Rider Orca after a long time.

What puzzled him was that even with the environmental adaptation module activated, Feng Xue would still get burned when she touched the bracelet.

"It's not environmental damage, it's not even damage... Is it a curse? Or is the fact that possessing this thing will cause burns a kind of setting?"

Seeing that the bracelet was True Thing and not Phantom Object at all, Feng Xue tossed the Shiranui bracelet onto the memorial tablet, letting it compete Fuzhibi with the four ghosts. She then took out a pair of chopsticks to pick it up, but the wooden chopsticks turned charred black in an instant, burning Feng Xue's fingers, which were protected by her Kamen Rider Armor.

Feng Xue even suspected that even if she put it in her Storage Waist Bag, it could still burn her through the pouch.

After all, one's own fanny pack doesn't have the function of protecting against harm.

"Interesting. It seems that [curses] hold a rather high priority in this world!"

Faced with the situation before him, Feng Xue did not feel any danger. On the contrary, he became interested. Putting aside the reference value that this special power system could provide him, the priority of this curse alone meant that he would definitely be able to solve his [beep--] fluid problem in this world.

"If all else fails, I'll just find a ghost that has no offspring and raise it. When I want to have children again, I can kill the ghost." Feng Xue muttered to herself, but she stuffed the books she had taken out earlier into her bosom.

This book is none other than the "Xuanjun Secret Scripture" that was previously passed down to Jiang Ziya. To be precise, it is only the General Outline of the Xuanjun Secret Scripture, the Mandrake Longevity Method.

However, Jiang Ziya had cultivated for forty years, and in this short period of time, he had already begun to try to integrate his knowledge with the Xuanjun Secret Scripture, which also reflected in his Companion Phantom.

Nowadays, some minor practices, such as ghost hunting, exorcism, and divination, which are not considered mainstream in the Investiture of the Gods World, have already appeared in the Phantom Object. It will probably not be long before these Phantom Object transform from "martial arts manuals" into "immortal books."

"Jiang Ziya, do a good job!" Feng Xue said, then took out another Phantom Object, "The Six Completions Way," and after flipping through it a few times, she couldn't help but show a look of disgust.

Compared to Jiang Ziya, a cultivator who already had some understanding of Against Gods, the people on the Miss Ke Family's side were more flashy and unconventional. Although they had created quite a few Immortal Method, most of them were just about physical strength and were single-mindedly focused on climbing higher realms. While this wasn't necessarily a bad thing, they still had a long way to go before they could develop a diverse and flourishing cultivation civilization.

Seeing that the burns on her hands were slowly healing, Feng Xue turned her head to look at the business certificate she had placed on the table. At this time, the battle between the five ghosts was coming to an end, and the Flame Ghost had unsurprisingly gained the upper hand. However, Feng Xue was slightly taken aback when she saw this, because she discovered that there was actually a living person in the house!

Yes, it's the beer-bellied teenager who used to steal "hot pot ingredients".

His condition was extremely poor at this time. His entire body looked as if it had been doused with hot oil, covered in unpleasant, foul-smelling blisters. His belly was swollen high and transparent, so much so that liquid could be seen wriggling inside.

But unlike the other newcomers who suffocated to death by the Fire Ghost, he has survived to this day. Feng Xue can even feel his incredibly strong will to live and his restraint, which he tries hard to hide but is as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the dark.

"Oh ho, injured like this and still trying to be the one to pounce?" Feng Xue muttered to herself, but pretended not to notice, and turned to walk towards her room...
