The moment I opened the door, I found so many ghosts lurking within. I had not expected this at all.
This was actually a prison?
Looking over, I saw a large group of ghosts whose minds had been controlled standing in the center, confined within a massive cage.
The cage was translucent and emitted black qi.
The ghosts inside all stood there blankly, motionless as wooden figures, yet every one of them radiated sinister qi.
Not a single one was an ordinary wandering soul. They were all evil spirits.
There were so many of them. If they were all released, wouldn't that be a disaster?
Just thinking about it was terrifying. Wouldn't this town be thrown into chaos?
With so many evil spirits and malevolent ghosts, they could even spread their influence to several surrounding towns and villages.
On both sides of the enormous cage were many smaller torture chambers, filled with all kinds of instruments of torture.
There were also some ghosts that had yet to dissipate completely, locked within those torture chambers.
Some had their collarbones hooked through, while others had hooks piercing their jaws or were hung by their hands and feet.
Others had their limbs severed and sewn together with other ghosts, forming all kinds of monstrosities and deformities.
One glance made the place feel like a torture chamber, yet also like some perverted laboratory...
I did not see Pavilion Ghost, so I immediately became wary.
Step by step, I continued forward. No matter where Pavilion Ghost was hiding, I would drag him out today.
But after taking only a few steps, I froze.
I discovered that the jade pendant on my chest had reacted again, growing hot in pulses.
One had to know that I had already sealed those three crystals with talismans.
