Chapter 40: Borrowing the Ghost Mother to Kill the Evil Spirit

The Child-Seeking Ghost Mother's voice was sharp and piercing, making Wu Xian's eardrums ache even through the phone.

But to Wu Xian, This voice was like heavenly music.

The phone call was too brief, not enough time to convey much.

If the Ghost Mother hadn't answered, after a moment of silence, the ringing would have directly revealed the murderer's identity. But that would lack credibility.

As for confronting her face-to-face to sow discord?

Wu Xian didn't have the guts.

Wu Xian had no doubt that if he stood before the Ghost Mother and eloquently explained the truth of what happened back then, he would be torn into infinitely small pieces before he even finished speaking.

"With the Door-Breaking Wraith's speed, he wouldn't give us this much time to discuss. His movements are so slow, it means he's also nearing his limit!"

Cracking sounds came from the Ghost Mother's body. Her arms, legs, and neck twisted in ways impossible for a living person. This was her body stretching before an attack.

"Outside the Blessed Land, in this world already ruined by evil spirits, there might be hierarchies. Evil spirits run rampant, and the Ghost Mother could easily kill the Door-Breaking Wraith."

"Die!"

That's why, even after becoming an evil spirit, she continued searching for her daughter, leading to the creation of the clap game.

As long as she believed Wang Zhiwu was the murderer, Wang Zhiwu would be relentlessly hunted by her until his death. Moreover, everything Wu Xian said was the truth, leaving Wang Zhiwu no room to refute.

The Door-Breaking Wraith was certain to die at the Ghost Mother's hands, but now, a variable had appeared.

"It's the rules, isn't it?"

Heavy footsteps echoed from outside the door again, drawing closer.

Wu Xian listened to his analysis.

Only by relying on them could Wu Xian achieve the most crucial condition of his plan: informing the Child-Seeking Ghost Mother of the truth and making the two evil spirits fight each other!

The pressure from the Ghost Mother completely vanished. Everyone simultaneously realized the clap game had ended.

"There's one more thing. Yesterday, you killed a woman. You killed her because she killed your child. But that woman, after arriving here, only killed one thing."

According to the original plan.

The two greater wraiths stood in place, listening to Wu Xian's lengthy explanation of the case.

But she could never forget her daughter.

Only then did she find Wen Chao's words reasonable.

Instead, the starting point of all this was her daughter's disappearance. This case was the reason she became an evil spirit, the unshakeable obsession deep within her soul.

Then she let out a piercing shriek!

Shi Ji's anus tightened, his face filled with panic and fear.

"The first clue I discovered was a hanged ghost in 406. She was a victim of a past disappearance case..."

"But within the Blessed Land, one must abide by the game's rules. Until there's a result between the player and the plot boss, the plot boss cannot be killed by anyone else."

The Breaking Door Wraith was also listening. His memories of being human gradually resurfaced. With each memory, he trembled more. His decayed heart beat anew, anxiously awaiting judgment from the Ghost Mother.

The moment the Ghost Mother agreed to listen to Wu Xian's analysis over the phone, Wu Xian's plan had already succeeded.

His first reaction was that this old man must have played a lot of games during work hours.

But the next second.

The Ghost Mother stepped on the Door-Breaking Wraith's shoulder, her body bending backward unnaturally, while her face looked directly at the Door-Breaking Wraith.

"I learned your story from your husband, An Xin. Please accept my condolences. I will try to be brief as I recount this case for you."

"In conclusion, I believe the person who abducted your daughter was Wang Zhiwu."

Wen Chao spoke slowly.

As Wu Xian's narrative progressed.

Wu Xian's narration reached its end.

The intense battle finally stopped.

A sudden, piercing scream.

This was the last sentence. Wu Xian's tone became extremely seductive.

Wu Xian frowned. The plan was going slightly out of control.

It felt like not doing holiday homework and then facing the teacher's serious inspection, knowing death was inevitable but having no way to escape.

Crack!

Crack crack!

Therefore.

"The thing before you is Wang Zhiwu, who has transformed into an evil spirit!"

A pale hand thrust towards the Door-Breaking Wraith's eyes.

"If we use game rules, this phenomenon becomes easier to understand."

"Ah!"

Because evil spirits are ultimately different from humans, they only communicate with other evil spirits and do not empathize with their prey. Even if a few can communicate, their conversations with humans are just part of the hunting process.

In just a few days, Wu Xian had understood why Qi Zhiyong had killed An Xin on the spot back then.

"Qi Zhiyong said that the so-called Blessed Land is a survival game."

That's how the survivors were able to stay alive.

The Ghost Mother's aura became increasingly dangerous.

"I understand. In other words, at least in this death game, the story can only end with us killing the boss, or the boss killing us."

Su Huijin also said nervously, "That's impossible. She's the first evil spirit in this world. The Door-Breaking Wraith has avoided her multiple times. How could she possibly lose when enraged?"

"But... killing with a borrowed knife is also effective!"

This was not because of love.

"The Wang Zhiwu before you not only abducted your daughter when she was alive, but also treated her as a slave after her death!"

"Then I discovered that there was a Mr. Wang who was being threatened by this Hanged Ghost..."

Wu Xian cleared his throat and began his narration.

After a while.

Finally.

These two mobile phones were the most crucial tools for Wu Xian to achieve his plan.

The Ghost Mother was an evil spirit; she didn't need evidence.

"That's the White-Bodied Lesser Wraith released by the Wang Zhiwu opposite you!"

This voice spread throughout the entire Blessed Land. All survivors and evil spirits hiding in corners were assaulted by immense resentment. The chains wrapped around her instantly tightened, trying to restrict her movements.

Wu Xian guided the few people to avoid the direction of the door and prepared their weapon talismans.

After transforming into an evil spirit, she had long abandoned everything from her living days: her husband, parents, job, and the conscience and empathy of a human being...

Wu Xian realized that the two evil spirits had already begun fighting, and he turned off the call function on his phone.

"Even a stronger Ghost Mother is subject to more restrictions. The dense chains on her are proof of that."

"The Ghost Mother lost?"

Wu Xian and the others had no way of knowing the situation of the two fighting evil spirits.

"So..."

All his clues ultimately pointed to one person.

"We are the players, the Door-Breaking Wraith is the final boss in the storyline, and the Child-Seeking Ghost Mother is the hidden background boss."

All they could feel were waves of chilling evil energy, strange noises constantly coming from next door, and the meaningless roars of evil spirits.

"This is our only chance."

"Everyone, bring out whatever skills you have!"
