"This intersection is blocked; anyone who tries to cross it will be killed."

"Those who pass through will die... die..."

The two Ghost Body kept repeating this sentence in hoarse voices, and their terrifying appearance made Da Zhou feel cold in his hands and feet. He almost lost all his courage.

Fortunately, at that moment, Ling Yi's voice rang in his mind.

"That's right, what am I afraid of? Even if I can't beat them, Ling Yi is here!"

It's unclear when exactly, but Da Zhou has come to trust Ling Yi completely.

At this moment, the Da Zhou only has talismanic treasures as its means of attack, and these things are extremely troublesome to make and limited in number.

Da Zhou picked up a talisman and chanted, "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands... Balefire Talisman, attack!"

With the incantation, the talisman in her hand shot out into the air, automatically igniting into a large Fireball that struck one of the Ghost Body.

However, while the level 1 Five Elements Talismans created into magical artifacts look impressive with their special effects, their attack power is equally comical.

The male Ghost Body was only forced back a few steps by the blast, but it didn't seem to be harmed at all.

Da Zhou found it hard to believe, feeling as if his skills were fake.

"What are you standing there for? Keep attacking!" Ling Yi reminded him.

But Da Zhou seemed not to hear his voice at this moment, and remained completely still.

He just muttered to himself, " Er Mozi, is that you? Er Mozi, speak to me!"

Ling Yi frowned. He sensed a peculiar Magnetic Field acting on Da Zhou, which must be the two Ghost Body activating their skills.

With a thought, an unreasonablely strong Magnetic Field erupted instantly, shattering the Magnetic Field enveloping Da Zhou.

"I..."

"You just entered Illusion. It seems these two Ghost Body are quite powerful. This Illusion is very strong; you're no match for them. Just throw out a few talismans to make a show of it. I'm about to make my move."

Da Zhou nodded and threw out two more Balefire Talisman, while Ling Yi, in conjunction with the special effects of the two Fireball, used Magnetic Field to forcefully crush the two Ghost Body, tearing them into pieces.

Although these two Ghost Body were also pitiful beings, they are now Evil Ghost driven only by their Obsession. They have retained little of their memories from their previous lives and have lost all reason, except for harming people according to their Obsession.

The viewers in the live stream didn't know that it was Ling Yi who killed the Ghost Body; they all thought it was Da Zhou's doing, and they were all very excited.

Da Zhou gradually came to his senses. Even if he had many questions, he would wait until after the broadcast to discuss them.

"You ask me who I learned from? I'm self-taught; I'm a genius."

"Yes, yes, you're all right. We should trust science; what happened just now was a special effect."

"Does my Da Zhou need to resort to such methods to gain traffic? Even if I don't stream for a month, I still have more fans than those streamers you mentioned."

"Offending people? Does my Da Zhou fear offending people? You come at me and start spewing nonsense. Do you really think I'm easy to bully? Moderators, where are these accounts? Ban them all, permanently."

"If anyone disagrees, let's draw a Daodao in the sand, online or offline, and see if my Da Zhou is afraid."

"Ugh, if you're going to try to ride the wave of traffic, fine, but don't do it with this disgusting attitude. I have no respect for you guys."

A group of keyboard warriors had appeared in the live stream room at some point, but Da Zhou had been in the live stream circle for so many years that he had long been experienced in dealing with these professional keyboard warriors.

After Da Zhou got into the car, Ling Yi immediately turned off the live stream, climbed out of his phone, and sat in the passenger seat.

"This was a good haul!" Da Zhou said with a grin. "I'm planning to level up my character first before upgrading my skills. What do you think?"

"You've already upgraded, why are you asking me?" Ling Yi could see the Da Zhou's attribute list. He directly used most of his Fear Points to upgrade his level to lv3, without upgrading any of his skills.

"Can you see my attribute table?"

"You guess!"

Da Zhou was so angry that he wanted to punch Ling Yi, but his fist passed right through Ling Yi's body.

"Once I get stronger, I'll definitely beat you up," Da Zhou said viciously.

"You're really overthinking it."

"Hey, by the way, what kind of skill did those two Ghost Body use? I think I saw the already dead Er Mozi, and the crucial thing is, Er Mozi actually tried to attack me, it felt like it was fake."

"That's a skill of those two Ghost Body, similar to a mental Illusion. It's quite powerful. If you had come alone today, you probably would have died here."

So, are you reminding me that I can't live without you?

Ling Yi didn't speak, but gave Da Zhou a look, letting her understand on her own.

Ling Yi's Ghost Body level has reached lv5, and his new skill Telekinetic Object Control, has been activated and directly upgraded to lv10.

Remaining Fear Points: 42115...

With his level 10 Telekinetic Object Control and level 5 Ghost Body, Ling Yi can easily control objects weighing nearly six tons.

This is an incredibly exaggerated figure, resulting in a huge boost to Ling Yi's strength.

However, this didn't cause Ling Yi, who was already used to being invincible, much of Changes in his emotions.

"Why is there such a big difference between you and other Ghost Body, even though we're both Ghost Body?"

"You guess!"

Da Zhou gave up on talking to Ling Yi, angrily started the car, and went home.

After returning home, Ling Yi familiarized himself with each skill, while Da Zhou went straight to his room to sleep.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, when Ling Yi came out of the bedroom that Da Zhou had prepared for him, Da Zhou had already disappeared to who-knows-where.

Ling Yi was Bored, so he sat down in front of the Computer and started browsing the latest news.

News about Ling Yi events is becoming increasingly common, and the authorities have clearly abandoned any attempt to suppress information, allowing these events to spread freely online.

As expected, Da Zhou is trending on social media again. However, there is another person who is also trending.

This person is named Lü Bo, a new streamer. Last night, he became a trending topic because he explored " North Mountain Hospital " and encountered Ghost Body.

Ling Yi searched for related videos and basically confirmed that this guy was the Protagonist of this world.

This Protagonist is quite powerful, defeating ghosts with a single punch and Sweep away the fearsome " North Mountain Hospital," becoming famous overnight and trending on social media.

Ling Yi searched for his live stream number, but the screen was black and he wasn't streaming. However, there was a live stream announcement at 9 PM one night about exploring the Abyss Mine.

The Abyss Mine is a place of urban Legend that are far more mysterious and terrifying than the " Highway 106 Incident " and the " North Mountain Hospital."

Ling Yi became interested.

On one hand, he wanted to meet the Protagonist; on the other hand, he was genuinely curious about this Abyss Mine.

I'll tell Da Zhou later that we're going to explore this place tonight too; there should be some surprises.

However, plans don't always go Changes. When Da Zhou returned at noon, he was followed by someone else.

It was Xiao Qiuqiu, a close friend of Da Zhou and also a popular live Xiao Qiuqiu.

However, Xiao Qiuqiu wasn't in a very good state at the moment; she had dark circles under her eyes, wasn't wearing makeup, and looked extremely listless.

" Da Zhou, where's that Ling Yi you mentioned?" Xiao Qiuqiu asked, hiding behind Da Zhou and looking around.

"Oh, I forgot you can't see Ghost Body!" Da Zhou said, turning around and pointing a finger at Xiao Qiuqiu's forehead.

" Heavenly Eye... Open!"

Xiao Qiuqiu was startled by Da Zhou's actions, but the next moment, seeing Ling Yi hovering not far from her, she cried out "Oh my god!" and fainted.

Ling Yi and Da Zhou looked at each other in bewilderment.

"So, you just sold me out?" Ling Yi said irritably.

"There's no other way. Xiao Qiuqiu is in trouble. She probably bumped into something big, so I had to bring her to you."

"A big guy?" Ling Yi asked curiously.

Dazhou took out a red envelope with the word "" from Xiao Qiuqiu's pocket. As soon as he took it out, Ling Yi felt the strong magnetic field emanating from the red envelope.

Ling Yi's expression turned serious; this was the strongest Magnetic Field he had ever sensed.

The Magnetic Field emanating from this red envelope alone far surpasses that of the two highway Ghost Body we encountered last night.

The contents of the red envelope were folded ghost money (paper money used in the dead of war).

"It is indeed a large creature." Ling Yi nodded.

In this world, the ranks of Ghost Body are divided into: Evil Ghost, Ghost Soldier, Ghost General, Ghost King, Ghost Emperor, Ghost Venerable, and Ghost Saint.

This is information that Ling Yi found on an official server called the Special Incident Handling Bureau, using the advantages of his Ghost Body. We'll talk about that later.

The two Ghost Body I encountered last night were merely at the Ghost Soldier level.

Based on the Magnetic Field strength emanating from this red envelope, the recipient must at least be a Ghost King.

"You felt it, didn't you?" Da Zhou asked.

"At least he's a Ghost King," Ling Yi said.

" Ghost King, what is that?"

Ling Yi explained the realms of Ghost Body, and fearing that Da Zhou might not have a grasp of it, he added, "Your current strength is equivalent to the lowest level of Evil Ghost."

"A single Ghost Soldier can Instant Kill countless Evil Ghost, Ghost General can Instant Kill countless Ghost Soldier, and Ghost King has already developed its own intelligence, making it a life form on a completely different level from ordinary Ghost Body."

"The crucial point is that the Ghost King has already activated his own domain, within Ghost King he is virtually invincible."

"I think we should play it safe. It's really unwise to provoke the Ghost King now."

Da Zhou sighed, opened the ghost money, and read, "At the dead of night, the bridal sedan chair is carried into the Entry, a hundred ghosts shout in unison, for our king is to take a bride!"

"If only Uncle Nine were here, something like this would have been better," Ling Yi muttered.

"Who is Uncle Nine?" Da Zhou's ears were incredibly sharp; she heard Ling Yi's words.

"If there's a chance, I might introduce you to him. The problem now is, Xiao Qiuqiu, you'd better think it through. Once you take on this task, you'll have no choice but to fight that Ghost King to the death."

We've already taken on this task.

"It's you, not us," Ling Yi corrected.

"I probably can't beat that Ghost King."

Ling Yi wasn't really confident about facing the Ghost King, but suddenly his eyes lit up.

"We're going somewhere tonight; perhaps the matter can be resolved without our intervention."

"Bring your livestreaming equipment. You and this idiot pretending to be unconscious on the ground do a livestream together; you might be surprised."

Xiao Qiuqiu, who had already woken up, immediately became indignant. She opened her eyes, got up, and hid behind Da Zhou, arguing, "Why do you say I'm stupid? You're the stupid one!"

"Don't you think so? No, you're not even as smart as a fool. Even a fool knows that you shouldn't touch something like this in the middle of the night. You should avoid it as much as possible. And you actually took it home?"
