Survival Society

Outside the Wang Family Old Residence, several people got out of the car.

Looking at this somewhat dilapidated house, time has left deep marks on it: mottled walls and peeling paint.

The corner of the wall was covered with moss and ivy.

The brick and tile houses, with their slightly old-fashioned architectural style, seem somewhat out of place on the street. The old houses are located in a street corner, without any attempt to hide or isolate them.

However, the street itself is quite remote, and only one or two people pass by occasionally.

Passersby stared at the three with great curiosity, seemingly puzzled that anyone would come here.

Ye Zhen and Richard walked straight into the old house.

Wang Chaling watched the two enter the old house quietly from outside. Only after they were completely inside did he turn around, get into his car, and leave.

Here, the two had only been inside the old house for a short time when they encountered living people.

These people were trapped in the time loop of the old house, which would cycle every half hour or so, and they didn't need to eat or drink. They stayed in the old house like this for an unknown amount of time.

Or you could say they entered voluntarily.

Here, you don't have to worry about Vengeful Ghost Revival, or about death; there's nothing wrong with it.

And so, more and more people gathered, eventually forming a Ghost Controller organization unknown to the outside world.

The Pendulum Organization, or rather, the Survival Society.

Richard and his companion encountered the members of the Survival Society as soon as they entered.

This house was already occupied by the Survival Society, so it's not surprising that we ran into them.

They dared not go to the third floor, where there were extremely powerful and eerie Vengeful Ghost, but the first and second floors were occupied by these people.

"Wow, another new person has joined." one of them said.

"That's normal. The world outside is no better than this comfortable place," another person chimed in.

Hey, what's going on between you two?

Richard and Ye Zhen looked at them without saying a word.

There were about a dozen Ghost Controller in the shadowy figures on the first floor of the house. Taiqing from upstairs, but there were just that many people in the rooms downstairs alone.

It can be said that this Survival Society very powerful.

Furthermore, these people guard the Wang Family Old Residence, and the Vengeful Ghost they control are no ordinary characters. Each one can be described as an elite, far superior to the scoundrels at Headquarters.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question, are you mute?"

"Wan Tong, Liao Fan, it seems they look down on you guys," the others joked.

"Looks like it's necessary to teach you newcomers what it means to respect your seniors. Liao Fan, one for each of you?" One of them, Wan Tong, was a bit irritable and intended to teach the two a lesson.

"Okay, then I'll choose him." Liao Fan casually pointed at Ye Zhen.

Wan Tong chuckled at Richard. "Kid, you've learned how to respect your elders after dying once."

A yellow taxi appeared, stained with blood and tattered, as if it had just come from the Syria battlefield.

Wan Tong sat in the driver's seat. This was the vengeful Vengeful Ghost he was piloting, codenamed "Collision Ghost." Vengeful Ghost hit by it would die instantly. Even the Vengeful Ghost.

Richard, intrigued, released Six Paths Puppet.

Six figures suddenly appeared on the spot, Six Paths Puppet released the Ghost Domain as soon as they appeared.

That's right, he made sure that each of his puppets controlled at least one vengeful Vengeful Ghost with a Ghost Domain, and some even had more than one Ghost Domain.

He also attempted to merge the Ghost Domain between his puppets.

While perfect integration is impossible now, at least they can avoid interfering with each other.

It can be said that the combined strength of all the Ghost Domain of the Six Paths Puppet is enough to crush an ordinary Ghost Controller.

Although it's unclear which level of Ghost Domain it's comparable to Yang Jian's, at least bullying the people here shouldn't be a problem.

Unfortunately, Restart isn't something you can obtain simply by having a high level of supernatural power. He felt that his supernatural power was quite high after stacking up his Ghost Domain, but he still couldn't gain the ability to Restart.

He desperately wanted to obtain the Restart ability to see how it differed from the time reversal ability of his Rinnegan.

The superposition of multiple Ghost Domain created an effect similar to time freezing.

Within the area covered by these Ghost Domain, the members of the Survival Society were completely immobilized; even their thoughts were frozen.

Only Ye Zhen, standing nearby, could still move with difficulty.

"You actually managed to control so many Vengeful Ghost? Are you cheating?" Ye Zhen said incredulously.

All he knew was that Richard had gathered a bunch of Vengeful Ghost and had been tinkering with all sorts of random combinations for some time.

But he had no idea that Richard had actually given each of his puppets a number of Vengeful Ghost.

He's been quite busy lately, only managing to control two vengeful Vengeful Ghost with Richard's help.

This thing has a strong aftereffect; although he can use a Substitute Ghost to kill the two Vengeful Ghost until they die.

However, the erosion of the Ghost Controller's consciousness by consciousness-type Vengeful Ghost seems to be more severe than that of other Vengeful Ghost, and he currently has no good way to deal with it.

The only thing to do is to enhance one's Divine Power and endure as long as possible to buy time for oneself to take control of the Rules.

According to Richard's research during this period, the reason why Ghost Controller are corrupted by Vengeful Ghost is...

One is that the Vengeful Ghost in this world are somewhat special, all possessing characteristics of the Nether System and leaning towards the yin attribute.

Another consequence is that wielding the Rules as a mortal is like ascending to heaven in one step. But they only know how to use them, and sometimes they don't even understand how to use them properly.

This actually made it easier for them to understand the Rules.

Compared to the immense difficulties faced by powerful individuals in other worlds in comprehending Rules and laws, they had access to these advanced concepts from the very beginning. The difficulty of getting started was reduced a thousandfold.

The vengeful Vengeful Ghost they command are their best teachers.

Once they successfully comprehend the corresponding fundamental principles, they will no longer be at risk of their bodies and consciousness being corrupted by supernatural forces.

It's even possible to embark on the path to godhood.

However, this is very difficult. So many brilliant Ghost Controller in the Republic Era spent their entire lives trying to achieve it, but ultimately they all died when their lifespans ran out.

However, Ye Zhen was more fortunate than them to have joined the Chat Group, which opened up more possibilities.

"Heh, I don't need to worry about my consciousness being corrupted. In fact, the Six Paths Puppet's body is far more resilient than yours. Isn't controlling Vengeful Ghost much easier for me?"

"I'm just worried that these Vengeful Ghost might have unknown pitfalls; otherwise, I could control even more directly with my true form," Richard said.

"Okay, you're awesome." Ye Zhen gave a thumbs up.

Richard ignored him and instead used the killing patterns of the Vengeful Ghost spirits controlled by the Six Paths Puppet to wipe out the lives of the Survival Society members.

"How come you even took care of my opponent?" Ye Zhen asked, displeased.

"We're not here to fight. If you want to fight, you can deal with the people on the second floor and Chen Qiaoyang's hiding."

Richard was helpless; he just wanted to get the Pendulum Clock as soon as possible, which is why he cleared the area quickly.

"Okay, I'll take care of them," Ye Zhen said happily, his interest in fighting far outweighing that of the Pendulum Clock.

The area has been cleared out; now we can finally have some peace and quiet.

These people won't bother them until the Pendulum Clock Restart.

However, after their deaths, the Vengeful Ghost within their bodies began to revive.

Richard didn't want to get entangled with these freaks. Although some of them were decent, even if he imprisoned them now, they would still be lost once the Restart.

So the two quickly bypassed these people and went upstairs.
