The Anomaly That Wanted to Become an Evil God

"Damn, this door isn't right..."

The others also realized it, but because they were too close, they were unable to leave in time and were also sucked in.

"Captain Xie, something's happened to them."

The commotion was so loud that it was seen by others.

Then someone informed him about Xie Yu.

Xie Yu and Wang Qing had never strayed far from the group of newcomers; in fact, they were the first to discover the newcomers' troubles.

They quickly arrived at the front door.

"It seems this place is the entrance to the Ghost Domain."

After observing the eerie energy remaining in the door, they decisively stepped inside.

As soon as you enter that gate, the surrounding environment undergoes a dramatic change.

This further confirms that this place is indeed a Ghost Domain.

The newcomers who fell into the Ghost Domain didn't go very far.

However, they all stood there, frozen in place, as if petrified.

Xie Yu stepped forward to check on them and found that they had no external injuries.

However, everyone seemed to be under some kind of mental attack, their eyes were glazed over, and no matter how he shouted, he couldn't wake them up.

"Mental pollution?"

Xie Yu was very vigilant because his own emotions were not very stable to begin with. If he also fell for the trick, he might not be able to break free and might lose control.

Wang Qing didn't care. "Then you stay here and watch over these newcomers. I'll go find that weirdo."

Xie Yu agreed.

And there was clearly more than one door; just a few minutes later...

More and more new people were drawn in after being infected.

Soon, the dozen or so newcomers who were no longer protected by Xie Yu and Wang Qing entered the Ghost Domain.

A hint of fear still lingered on their faces.

As soon as they entered, they saw several companions standing there in a daze, and Xie Yu standing guard over them.

"Captain Xie?"

"Great, you're here too. Where is this place?"

What happened to them?

The newlyweds had many questions, but Xie Yu answered them all with a very good temper.

"This is Ghost Domain. None of you should wander around. It's best to stay near me."

"They must have been affected by some strange power. Captain Wang has already gone to find that strange entity. Once it's contained, they'll be able to recover."

A little while later, Mi Lan, the Daoist, and the others also came in.

Lu Zhe said with a bitter face, "I told you my instructions were correct."

The Daoist and the newcomer laughed heartily, "We don't doubt you, but where is this?"

The Daoist looked up at the gloomy sky and the surrounding ruins that resembled a destroyed city. "This should be the Ghost Domain."

"Such an immense aura, it truly is malevolent."

Mi Lan is currently looking at the complete monster encyclopedia she downloaded from the tabletop RPG website.

"The strangeness this thing creates is all related to the monsters in the role-playing game. Do you think it might also be similar to the monsters in the game? Otherwise, why would it do this?"

Lu Zhe recalled the monsters in the tabletop RPG: "It seems the tabletop RPG released some information, introducing the monsters' backgrounds. All the monsters gained their strange abilities because they worshipped an Evil Deity."

"And they use these abilities to do evil, killing humans and offering them as sacrifices to Evil Deity."

"But the Evil Deity wasn't revealed in any form or name; it was just a setting on the background explaining the origin of these monsters."

After hearing this, the other newcomers also began to speculate. "Could it be that He believes He is that Evil Deity, or rather, He has identified with that Evil Deity and wants to become a god, so He created these strange creatures with similar abilities and appearances?"

"A bizarre creature that thinks it's a god? What kind of joke is this?"

"Then what are we, these contracted Contract Anomalist with the bizarre? Divine messengers?"

"The Contractor of God?"

"From now on, please don't call me Contract Anomalist; please call me an apostle of God," the newcomer joked with a straight face.

"Hahahaha..." Mi Lan watched the spectacle from the sidelines, laughing non-stop.

Clearly, these newcomers brought him a lot of fun.

"However, the Ghost Domain... can only be countered by Contract Anomalist who can also unleash Ghost Domain."

Lu Zhe looked around at his surroundings, then looked at Mi Lan with anticipation.

Mi Lan, being an A-level Contract Anomalist, can certainly unleash Ghost Domain.

Mi Lan shrugged. "Fierce Fiend Class Ghost Domain is beyond my capabilities, but I can give it a try."

His expression changed, and he solemnly stretched out his hand in a very childish pose, saying with great authority, "Blood Demon Hell, open!"

Blood rapidly spread outwards from the center of his feet.

The rusty, bloody smell quickly filled the entire space.

Lu Zhe was dumbfounded. He asked the Daoist Daoist next to him, who had covered his eyes with talismans and looked like a blind man, "Daoist, do we need to shout a command to release the Ghost Domain?"

That's not very friendly to people with social anxiety.

And you even have to pose?

This is when you can see the personality of some newcomers.

Some newcomers think this setting is great and are still asking if the commands and gestures for each Contract Anomalist to release their Ghost Domain are different, and how to find out what these commands and gestures are.

Some newcomers find this behavior extremely embarrassing, especially to say it in front of so many people; they probably wouldn't be able to bring themselves to say it.

Not to mention they have to pose; just shouting out the commands is enough to make them dig several floors.

The Daoist priest put his hands into his wide sleeves. "Hmm? No need."

And they will demonstrate it directly.

He also unleashed his Ghost Domain.

Apart from the rapid change in the surrounding environment, which became eerie and filled with ghostly energy, he didn't move an inch.

Lu Zhe's lips twitched.

Then he looked at Mi Lan.

Mi Lan was laughing loudly, like a lawless demon king.

"He's a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)."

Thank you, his illusions about the Contract Anomalist have shattered once again.

Both A-level Contract Anomalist released their Ghost Domain, but the Fierce Fiend Class and Bizarre Ghost Domain easily suppressed them both.

They can only control environmental changes within a certain range, such as opening a passage or tearing open a hole to the outside world.

Yet, they could not shake this entire Ghost Domain.

Mi Lan manipulated the blood within the Ghost Domain, relentlessly attacking the surrounding Ghost Domain.

But upon seeing that the Ghost Domain was completely unshakeable, he scoffed with displeasure.

"This isn't fun at all, ugh!"

A strange creature covered in talismans appeared behind the Daoist. It hugged the Daoist and seemed to whisper something in his ear.

The Daoist listened intently, "Are you sure?"

"Okay, I understand."

"Everyone, step into our Ghost Domain."

The other newcomers looked at each other, not understanding what the Daoist meant, but they listened to him and did as he said.
