Qin Yiguan finished speaking.

Black Calamity, the leader of the smoke-filled figure inside the city lord's mansion, suddenly froze.

It first revealed a fierce expression, then a resentful one, and finally, resigned, muttering, "So I was just a tool after all."

immediately.

The ' Black Calamity ' turned into smoke and completely dissipated.

Its mission is complete.

at the same time.

The golden figures of Dad, Mom, and Boss Meng in the sky vanished in an instant.

Qin Yiguan looked up and 'saw them off'.

After everything had calmed down, he turned around and 'stared' at the little boy inside the wardrobe.

He gripped the door crack with a slight tightening of his hand.

The little boy also reached out his dirty hand and grasped the wooden door from the inside.

Qin Yiguan could clearly feel that the little boy's thin hands didn't have much strength. With just a little force, he could forcefully pull open the wardrobe door.

but.

Qin Yiguan saw the little boy's expression: panicked, weak, and pitiful. His dark eyes were filled with clearly visible tears, showing his immense fear of the outside world.

He hesitated for a moment.

Qin Yiguan's hand loosened slightly.

In the end, I couldn't bear to do it.

At that moment, Qin Yiguan frowned, feeling the temperature around him suddenly drop.

Each breath carried a chilling sensation, irritating the nasal cavity and throat.

The wooden wardrobe door that my fingers touched had become unusually cold.

He slightly moved his fingers and heard a faint 'crack' sound. He didn't know when, but a layer of frost had formed on his body.

All that could be heard Shitian, "The huge hole in the sky is still there, and a white figure is faintly visible within it! It carries a chilling ghostly aura!"

The next moment.

Qin Yiguan heard a series of chilling, mournful cries!

It sounded like the wails of countless women, and countless white-clad ghosts seemed to dance in the sky, creating a whistling sound as they sobbed, laughed softly, and wept.

As the temperature plummeted, the sky grew even darker.

The eerie chill emanated not only from the outside but also from within people's hearts.

The feeling was as if a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost was about to descend upon the world.

Horror, oppression, cold, the unknown!

This is all the feeling in Qin Yiguan's heart.

But Qin Yiguan forced himself to remain calm and looked at the little boy in the wardrobe, "Smoke Black Calamity and I have a layer of [Gestalt Collapse], so you must have one too."

"Besides this enormous Ghost City, there is also a ghost king within you, something you fear, the 'demon outside the wardrobe'."

The little boy pulled his arms back into the wardrobe, curled up on the ground, hugged his knees, trembled, and stared at the ground with his Pupil quivering violently.

At this moment, the young monk Shitian put his hands together and said loudly, "Is this ever going to end? Amitabha!"

But then Qin Yiguan turned around, slightly raised his head, and although his eyes were covered by a black cloth, he was still facing the direction of the Ghost King.

He said, "Shitian, this is the last Ghost King!"

And in that very moment...

From the enormous hole in the sky came an extremely piercing scream, as if it could instantly tear one's eardrums apart!

At the same time, the white figure that Shitian had mentioned crawled to the edge of the hole, stirred up gusts of cold wind, and suddenly flew out of the hole!

"Tsk tsk!"

The young Shitian looked up and said, "This time, the Ghost King is much more terrifying than before, and its appearance is like a giant..."

But Qin Yiguan suddenly said, "Just describe it directly!"

"Oh?"

Shitian was taken aback, then said, "It wears a white robe, with long hair draped over its shoulders that covers its face, making it appear to be a terrifying female ghost. Its body must be a hundred feet tall, and it's currently flying down from the sky in a lunging posture. Its sharp claws are ferocious and terrifying; it will soon tear your head apart!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiguan turned to the child in the wardrobe behind him and said, "Is this the kind of ghost that haunted your entire childhood?"

The child didn't speak, and shrank back.

Qin Yiguan noticed this and nodded very slightly.

"Um..."

"This ghost is indeed terrifying and powerful."

Qin Yiguan spoke slowly.

The child behind him paused upon hearing this.

Unlike the others, he didn't immediately deny the existence of the ghost; instead, he acknowledged its terror, making him different from the others.

At this moment, Qin Yiguan's emotions were in turmoil.

He too feared the darkness, and had seen countless demons lurking within it.

He completely understood how the child felt at that moment!

People say there are no ghosts in this world.

I don't think so.

"Ghosts exist in this world."

"The red-skinned ghost king is a ghost, and this woman in white is a ghost too!"

Qin Yiguan said in a low voice, "However, these ghosts were all created by us! Because you and I are one in a billion in this world. Our [Gestalt Collapse] is a power comparable to that of a creator. It relies on darkness to create all things in the darkness, and it created 'ghosts'!"

The child in the closet stared wide-eyed, his body still trembling.

I'm very ashamed.

"I am now eighteen years old, and I have feared darkness for eighteen years."

"Only today have I realized the true nature of this matter."

Qin Yiguan tilted his head back, his tone calm, "All of this seems to resemble what Shitian called 'karmic obstacles'; the more terrifying we are, the stronger they become."

"If we can face them calmly and control our fear, then these ghosts will become utterly vulnerable."

"Even if that white-clad female ghost were right in front of me, even if her breath were on my face, as long as I remain fearless, she couldn't harm us in the slightest!"

Qin Yiguan said.

At the same time, I watched the child's movements, but I saw that his expression was still full of fear, and his body shrank back again.

"You don't believe me?"

Qin Yiguan smiled. "It's alright. Today, I'll stand right in front of you! If that ghost really can hurt people, then it can tear me to pieces first!"

"Benefactor Qin, that ghost is getting closer and closer!"

Then Shitian shouted, "I see it's different from the other two ghost kings. It's very real and very powerful. How about I cheat you on this path to breaking through the barrier and have the Whole Buddha take action to smash it apart!"

"No need!"

Qin Yiguan let out a low growl, then slowly raised his hand, grasped the black cloth covering his eyes, hesitated for a second, gritted his teeth slightly, and ripped the black cloth off!

This moment.

He raised his head and looked at the sky ahead.

Although fear still lingered in his eyes, his determination seemed even stronger!

The white-clad female ghost was far more terrifying than he had imagined; her body was at least several thousand meters long and covered half of the Ghost City!

Its long hair danced in mid-air, as ferocious as a venomous snake. Its face was hidden in the shadows, and its features could not be seen. Only black blood could be seen flowing from the corner of its mouth!

Its hands were outstretched forward, its claws curved, their nails black and sharp, tearing through the air with a piercing whistling sound!

Its target was the black wardrobe behind Qin Yiguan!
