God-Tier Effect of the Inverted Cross

Seeing that Gao Tian had no intention of paying attention to her, Ling Feifei, who had been lying on the ground throwing a tantrum, started to get clever again.

Right.

Ling Feifei's eyes suddenly lit up.

How did Gao Tian kill her boyfriend? After he got on the bus, he did something very strange. He poked that male corpse several times, and then took the Rusty Long Saber from its hand. He didn't trigger any Killing Rule.

Ling Feifei wasn't exactly a newbie to the supernatural. She naturally knew some of the most basic rules of this world. For an Ordinary Person to survive, they had to collect various supernatural items, either as rewards from apartment missions or dropped by Vengeful Ghosts.

This Gao Tian had stolen a powerful weapon from the male corpse on the bus, and with one strike, he had instantly killed Zhou Yan.

It wasn't anything amazing in itself, just exceptionally good luck. He hadn't triggered any rules after stealing the weapon.

If he could do it, why couldn't she?

At the same time, the Bone Flute around Ling Feifei's neck was amplifying the emotions of the surrounding Vengeful Ghosts, constantly washing over her Brain. It magnified the negative emotions in her heart – greed, hatred, jealousy, anger – infinitely.

She had already noticed the strange Inverted Cross stuck in the Old Woman's head.

It was emitting rings of lonely, desolate, and despairing aura.

Ling Feifei keenly captured that the Old Woman's corpse wasn't the ghost's true form, but merely a product of parasitic infestation. The Inverted Cross stuck in her head was very likely a new supernatural item.

If Gao Tian could get the Rusty Great Saber, why couldn't she get the Inverted Cross?

Ling Feifei was unaware that the reason Gao Tian dared to touch the Terror Blade in the Tall Male Corpse's hand was because he had seen a fragment of the future and knew that it could be safely taken after a certain ritual.

If any random person who got on the bus tried to snatch the Terror Blade, they would have long ago triggered the Tall Male Corpse's Killing Rule and died on the spot.

Without preparation, trying to snatch a ghost's possession was no different from courting death.

While Ling Feifei was lost in her fantasies, Gao Tian pretended to sit down and rest, but his peripheral vision remained fixed on the figure behind him.

He saw through her little tricks with perfect clarity.

Before, when Gao Tian took the Terror Blade, Zhou Yan and Ling Feifei, who had been watching him with amusement, had become enraged and spitefully said that they wouldn't fare any worse when they went to get it.

Back then, it might have been just spiteful words. Now, Zhou Yan was dead, and Ling Feifei's mind was clouded. Her venturing to pull out the Inverted Cross had become a high probability event.

This was within Gao Tian's expectations.

He could also tell that the Inverted Cross stuck in the Old Woman's head was likely a supernatural item, one that could be wielded by Humans.

But the Inverted Cross wouldn't be easy to obtain. Its inherent effects, side effects, and Killing Rule were currently unknown. Gao Tian couldn't see the future of the Inverted Cross, and if he tried to take it rashly, he might be killed by it immediately.

Ling Feifei was willing to go for it. It would be best if she could step into the trap and clear the mines for him.

This woman's attempt to pull the Inverted Cross will likely lead to one of two outcomes:

First, she triggers the Inverted Cross's Killing Rule and dies on the spot.

This would conveniently eliminate one killing rule for him.

If he figures out the Inverted Cross's rules, Gao Tian might even have a chance to acquire another supernatural item.

Second, Ling Feifei actually pulls out the Inverted Cross, and even without seeing the future or having the Human Skin Gloves, miraculously discovers its effects.

Let's not even discuss how improbable such an event is.

Even if it did happen, it would be even better for Gao Tian.

Once the bus stops, he'll get off, use the Terror Blade to sacrifice Ling Feifei, and directly seize the supernatural item she risked her life to explore.

The Terror Blade's effect on living people is too overpowered. It can directly sacrifice people within a certain range without their consent.

In a Living Person Civil War, Gao Tian wielding the Terror Blade would be an invincible existence.

From the moment Ling Feifei entertained the idea, no matter the outcome, Gao Tian wins.

Of course, there might be some uncontrollable accidents during the process. But one cannot expect to gain anything without taking any risks.

He must become stronger at all costs. After completing this mission and returning to the Living Person Apartment, he'll have to explore the Fourth Floor with the Administrators again. Those without power don't even have the right to survive in this cruel world.

Blindly believing "Gao Tian can do it, so I can too," Ling Feifei, sitting in the last row, cast one final glance in Gao Tian's direction. After killing Zhou Yan, he hadn't even looked back, not even bothering to glance at her.

It was a silent contempt. Gao Tian had never considered them, this couple, as equal opponents from the very beginning.

But it was precisely Gao Tian's contempt that made Ling Feifei feel this was an excellent opportunity. The next stop was approaching, and she felt she couldn't waste another moment; she had to act immediately.

Without hesitation, she tiptoed down the stairs and walked towards the back of the Inverted Cross Old Lady.

The old lady remained motionless, red blood continuously flowing from the hole on the back of her head. The giant Cross, as if alive, stood silently on high, using Flesh and Blood as a Bracket, coldly observing the movements of every Passenger on the Bus.

Shen Nian, in the front row, immediately noticed Ling Feifei's abnormality.

His peripheral vision constantly scanned the other passengers and vengeful ghosts. Upon seeing Ling Feifei stealthily approaching the Inverted Cross Old Lady, Shen Nian immediately turned and shouted a warning:

"What are you doing?

"Don't go near other vengeful ghosts, understand! Or I'll shoot you dead!"

Seeing that her actions were exposed, Ling Feifei decided to drop the pretense. She strode towards the Inverted Cross Old Lady, shouting with all her might:

"I don't care anymore! I'm going to die anyway, so none of you will live either!

"When we left, we agreed to help each other as residents of the apartment, but this Gao fellow killed my Boyfriend to protect himself, and the rest of you just watched. You cold-hearted people can go to Hell with Gao Tian!"

"Once I get this Top-tier Supernatural Item, I'm completing this mission alone. What does the life and death of you others have to do with me!"

At this moment, the hysterical Ling Feifei had already pressed her hands onto the inverted cross. Veins bulged on her arms as she forcefully pulled it outwards. Her gaze, fierce and ferocious, was fixed in Gao Tian's direction:

"Once I get a better supernatural item than yours, I'll..."

"Once I get a better...

"Once I get..."

The instant this foolish woman's hands touched the inverted cross, countless blood red eyes outlined by dashed lines opened again on the black wall. Their eyeballs spun wildly, as if they had just awakened from the abyss.

"Damn it! Get lost!"

Shen Nian directly drew the gun barrel from under his trench coat, attempting to intimidate. But he didn't dare to actually fire, as the bus's rule still existed.

Those ghost eyes seemed to have a life of their own, constantly staring at Ling Feifei, who was desperately grabbing it, as if testing the quality of a new master.

The old woman, whose head had been pierced, also seemed to sense someone pulling the inverted cross from her head. Her neck let out a painful creaking sound as she slowly turned her head, at an impossible 180-degree angle, to look in Ling Feifei's direction.

"Come out for me!"

Ling Feifei no longer cared about anything else. With a sharp cry, she unleashed a powerful force from nowhere and actually, truly, yanked the inverted cross out from the seam of the old woman's head.

Very good.

Blood red dashed eyes quickly spread out from above the inverted cross, dyeing half the carriage a hazy red.

Gao Tian had already retreated to the front of the carriage, maintaining a distance. On one hand, he could observe the killing rule of the inverted cross. On the other hand, it was to avoid being affected if Ling Feifei died.

Boom--

As the giant blood red eye descended, the surrounding scene turned black. The entire bus carriage disappeared, and in an instant, Gao Tian's world became pitch black.

This area was completely different from the bus before. There were no vengeful ghosts, no sounds, no land. Apart from pure darkness and the blood red "sun" in the sky, there was nothing else.

At the same time, Shen Nian and Su Jiu in the distance were also inexplicably teleported here, looking bewildered.

This is?

Did I mess up?

Gao Tian looked up and saw a colossal blood red human eye, as large as a planet, hovering in the equally dark sky, looking down at him.

"57."

A majestic voice boomed in his ear.

Simultaneously, Gao Tian once again felt the gaze of the giant eye above his head penetrate his body, probing his soul.

On his soul, a Ghost Card remained, Club 3. It was a Ghost Card drawn after one resurrection.

The Ghost Eye lingered for a moment, then Gao Tian felt his soul empty once more. The Ghost Card etched onto his soul was thus drawn away.

The mark of the Ghost Card vanished.

How could this be possible?

Gao Tian was stunned, his heart churning like a stormy sea.

Did the Blood Eye's ability allow it to draw away the Ghost Card on one's soul?

Theoretically, a Ghost Card could not be drawn away. Otherwise, the user could infinitely exploit bugs.

So, if he mastered this supernatural item, would it mean he could form a combo with the Ghost Card, resurrect infinitely without any punishment?

After drawing away the Ghost Card, the Blood Eye hanging above the black domain blinked and let out another unintelligible growl:

"57."

Shen Nian pulled out the Gun Barrel in his hand and aimed it at the Blood Eye in the sky, but did not fire directly. He dared not attack rashly without understanding the situation:

"Don't move erratically!

"That damned woman pulled out the Cross, causing it to release the Ghost Domain.

"We are now within the Vengeful Ghost's Ghost Domain. Any slight movement could lead to immediate death."

Su Jiu's face was deathly pale, like a frightened chick, holding his breath.

Only Gao Tian knew that the Blood Eye Cross's ability was very Special.

At this moment, the scenery around the three people changed rapidly, returning them to the smoothly moving Bus Carriage, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Next stop, Old Town is about to arrive.

"Passengers who need to alight, please prepare in advance."

That emotionless Mechanical Female Voice spoke again. At the same time, the Bus's speed noticeably decreased, preparing to enter the station and stop.
