Gray mist spread everywhere.
The entire Underground World was silent.
Xu Yuan set down the ghosts of the Funeral Love Family, left the factory, and stood at the edge of the towering cliff, looking down.
Since that female ghost had come from below,
then
he had better go down and look. Perhaps he could find traces of her.
"What happened?"
Zang Ling's voice came from afar.
An idea stirred in Xu Yuan's mind.
Perhaps...
he didn't need to do this himself.
The Underground World was far too vast. Who knew how long it would take him to find that Monster's remains alone? Better to leave it to the Funeral Love Family members, who knew the terrain!
He turned toward Zang Ling and said,
"Something extraordinary seems to have happened just now—
"A terrifying Oddity suddenly appeared and killed every other Ghost Entity out there.
"We're the only ones still alive."
Zang Ling came over, looked outside, and sensed her surroundings. She shouted,
"Hey, everyone, come out!"
The male and female ghosts rushed out and stared into the Void with her.
"Boss, Zang Ling, this... could it be..."
"That's right. I can't believe the legend was true."
"It really was that."
The ghosts all talked at once.
"What are you talking about?" Xu Yuan asked.
A male ghost said, "They say an Oddity once ate everyone on the First Layer of Nine Nether Prefecture. But when the important figures from the lower layers came up to investigate, they couldn't find a trace of it." "It happens every few decades," another female ghost said.
"No one can find it at all?" Xu Yuan asked.
"That's right. After it eats everyone, it falls into a deep sleep and won't appear again for at least a few decades," the male ghost said.
