Ling Yi suddenly realized.
The entrance to the cave where I was born has a special energy field, which is why I can never leave.
Even with Ling Yi's current strength, he couldn't get out of the cave.
All that could be seen was the blue sky and white clouds outside the cave.
With nothing else to do, Ling Yi began digging along the direction of the cave, continuing to the left.
They've already dug out about 20 kilometers.
But that barrier of energy has always existed.
Erzhuzi said they've dug through, which means the energy wall has disappeared, and Ling Yi can Mountain Splitting now?
"The energy wall disappears 22 kilometers from the cave entrance, so we dug through it."
Erzhuzi explained.
Ling Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Although I was curious about what lay beyond the cave, I couldn't go back now, so I decided to complete the Simulation first.
" Ling Yi, why did you decide to join the Ghost-Catching Bureau?" someone next to Ling Yi asked.
Ling Yi immediately cast a Eye of Investigation on the person.
The next moment, a pop-up window appeared above his head.
[ Zhang Hai: Bronze-rank Ghost Cultivator of Dafeng City Ghost-Catching Bureau, Cultivation Level 0.02 Planet Grade, Number of Ghosts Catched: 22!]
0.02 Planet Grade? That's incredibly weak!
So, what exactly does 0.02 Planet Grade level mean?
"Just trying to make a living," Ling Yi said casually.
At the same time, he placed a Eye of Investigation on each of the other two.
[ Peng Yu: Bronze-rank Ghost Cultivator of Dafeng City Ghost-Catching Bureau, Cultivation Level 0.03 Planet Grade, Number of Ghosts Catched: 3!]
[ Zhang Wenguo: Iron-plated Ghost-Catching Bureau Ghost Cultivator of Dafeng City, Planet Grade 0.05, number of ghosts caught: 62!]
"Although the Ghost-Catching Bureau offers good benefits, it's also dangerous. Be careful later, and don't let a ghost possess you, or I won't be so lenient with you," Zhang Hai warned.
Ling Yi nodded but remained silent. He hadn't even figured out the situation yet, so saying too much would only make things worse.
The Simulation scenario is a complete pitfall; it doesn't provide any information whatsoever!
The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons Month, but I don't know what kind of demons are involved.
"This is just a level 1 water ghost. Let Ling Yi, the newbie, practice first. We'll keep an eye on him from the sidelines," Zhang Wenguo said, glancing at Ling Yi.
Zhang Wenguo looks to be around thirty years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face, and a very robust physique.
This is the kind of person who seems very reliable at first glance.
Zhang Hai is slightly overweight, a little over 1.7 meters tall, and has a baby face that gives him a cheerful appearance.
Peng Yu is also a little over 1.7 meters tall, but he has thinner lips, a hooked nose, and a triangular face.
The first thing that comes to mind when you see this person is the image of a praying mantis.
Like the other three, Ling Yi was also wearing sunglasses.
But these sunglasses don't obstruct vision, even at night.
Ling Yi guessed that these sunglasses were probably not ordinary sunglasses, but rather some kind of equipment.
Just Jian Yi in my hand.
The black sword is one meter long, three fingers wide, and the blade is very thick, more than one finger thick. It is quite heavy, weighing more than twenty kilograms.
It looks neither gold nor iron; I don't know what it's made of.
Ling Yi sent out two Eye of Investigation.
[Magnetic Sword: A longsword forged from magnets!]
[ Ghost-Seeing Glasses: Ghost are visible!]
This Eye of Investigation is really useful.
Perhaps, if I had used my Eye of Investigation in the previous Simulation, I would have noticed Ma Lin's abnormality much earlier!
" Captain, how's the bonus calculated?" Peng Yu, standing next to Zhang Hai, asked in a flippant tone.
"Of course, whoever kills them gets the blame. What's wrong with that?" Zhang Wenguo glanced at him and said indifferently.
"That's not fair! Everyone's out here to make money, otherwise who would be so bored as to go stand by the river and enjoy the breeze?"
"If you think it's unfair, then get out!" Zhang Wenguo said coldly.
"Very well, Zhang Wenguo, I hope you're still this arrogant tomorrow," Peng Yu said angrily, then turned and left.
But before leaving, he glanced at Ling Yi, his Leng Yi undisguised.
They drove off.
Oh dear, they're causing trouble right at the start of the Simulation?
Hopefully, this guy won't do anything stupid, otherwise, Ling Yi won't tolerate it.
" Captain, do you have a grudge against this guy?" Ling Yi asked Zhang Wenguo.
Zhang Wenguo remained silent, but Zhang Hai explained, "This guy's older brother used to be with our Captain, but during a ghost-catching operation, he overexerted himself and got Possession a ghost."
"Left with no other option, the Captain had to kill him."
"Originally, we thought this guy was pretty honest. We always thought that although he had a pointed face, he was reasonable enough to know that the fault didn't lie with our Captain!"
"Unexpectedly, this kid harbored a grudge against the Captain, but since he was weaker than the Captain and had no powerful backing, he didn't dare to cause trouble."
"But this kid's Second Brother, because of good luck, found a Grudgeless Ghost, and his strength increased dramatically, reaching the level of a level 7 Ghost Cultivator. With this backer, Peng Yu finally showed his true colors."
Just then, Zhang Wenguo, looking at the river, suddenly exclaimed, "The water ghost has come out!"
Ling Yi also looked towards the river.
Three translucent, pale blue Shadow slowly rose from the water, then stepped onto the surface and walked towards the shore.
[Level 1 Water Ghost: Cultivation Level 0.01 Planet Grade!]
After the water ghost came ashore, it climbed over the railing and stood by the roadside, seemingly waiting for something.
Ling Yi was very curious. What was this thing doing when it came out of the water?
Also, can't this thing see Ling Yi and the other two?
There wasn't enough information, but Ling Yi couldn't ask too many questions, otherwise it would definitely arouse the suspicion of Zhang Wenguo and the others.
Ling Yi Perception the water ghost's state, but only Perception a slight energy fluctuation.
This energy is very special; Ling Yi has never Perception this kind of energy before.
" Ling Yi, I'm leaving you in charge. Remember what the school taught you, and don't panic," Zhang Wenguo said to Ling Yi.
Is this a matter of panicking or not? What the hell do I know about what schools teach?
Forget it, let's just go up and chop!
Ling Yi rushed towards the water ghosts at lightning speed, reaching the first water ghost in the blink of an eye. He raised his magnetic sword and slashed down.
The three water ghosts were clearly surprised to see Ling Yi appear; their surprised expressions were clearly visible on their faces.
The other two water ghosts turned and ran.
But the water ghost that Ling Yi had slashed couldn't escape.
When the magnetic sword sliced through the water ghost, it was able to Perception a slight resistance.
It felt like I'd struck cotton.
The water ghost's pale blue, translucent body began to twist and Shapeshifting after being Cutting by the magnetic sword.
It seemed as if they couldn't even maintain their physical form.
As soon as the sword was slashed, the water ghost's body noticeably paled.
The water ghost screamed and turned to run away.
But how could Ling Yi let it escape? He brandished his magnetic sword and slashed the water ghost three times in the blink of an eye.
The water ghost let out a piercing scream, its blue energy fluctuated violently, then exploded and disappeared.
The other two water ghosts had already climbed over the railing again and were drifting towards the river.
Without a second thought, Ling Yi jumped over the railing and chased after him.
With a leftward slash and a rightward slash, he struck the two water ghosts, causing their bodies to flash with blue light and freezing them in place.
Ling Yi slashed the water ghost on the left with three sword strikes, instantly blasting it apart. As for the water ghost on the right, Ling Yi planned to Pickup into his Personal Space.
However, Erzhuzi reminded Ling Yi that a living being cannot be stored in Personal Space.
Since we can't take them, let's just cut them down.
Three more sword strikes later, the last water ghost exploded.
At this moment, Zhang Wenguo and Zhang Hai walked over.
Zhang Hai said speechlessly, "Brother, if you're so tough, then just go for it!"
What else?
How can you cut without using force?
"Why don't you use your Ghost Technique?" Zhang Wenguo asked, frowning.
I forgot because I was nervous.
How the hell would I know anything about this Ghost Technique? This feeling of being completely confused is just too awful.
It seems I'll have to do some research on the basic information about this world later.
Fortunately, he had his cell phone in his shirt pocket.
Having a mobile phone means having internet access.
I don't know if I can find information about Ghost online.
"You're not proficient in Ghost Technique. Go back and practice more. Once you're skilled in using Ghost Technique, you won't forget how to use Ghost Technique."
"Yes, Captain!" Ling Yi nodded, humbly accepting the reply.
"Alright, go back now. If you're free tomorrow, I'll give you some pointers on your Ghost Technique." Zhang Wenguo waved his hand and walked towards a black Hummer parked by the roadside.
The three got into the car. Zhang Wenguo was driving, Zhang Hai was in the passenger seat, and Ling Yi had to sit in the back.
" Captain, what about Peng Yu? What if his Second Brother Peng Hu, causes trouble..." Zhang Hai said with some worry.
"Everything must be done according to the rules of the Ghost-Catching Bureau. As long as I don't make any mistakes, he can't do anything to me!" Zhang Wenguo said with a slight frown.
The subtext of this statement is that even Zhang Wenguo can't handle Peng Hu; he can only try his best to avoid making mistakes and not give the other party a chance to act.
" The Ghost-Catching Bureau is becoming increasingly chaotic and corrupt."
Ling Yi remained silent, recalling the conversation he had just had with the others.
However, several pieces of information were identified from them.
First, being possessed by a ghost is very dangerous; be careful and vigilant.
The second is the Grudgeless Ghost, which can help people improve their strength.
Thirdly, there are schools that specialize in training Ghost Cultivator, and there are Ghost Technique specifically designed to target Ghost.
Fourth, the Ghost-Catching Bureau is probably full of messy affairs; I should leave as soon as possible.
Otherwise, there's no point in doing anything worthwhile.
Lying flat on your back, I'm afraid even that wouldn't be comfortable.
The car quickly entered the city, and Zhang Wenguo dropped Ling Yi off at the entrance of a residential complex.
Before leaving, he instructed, "Starting from midnight tonight, it's the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons Month. Don't go out unnecessarily, and come to the Ghost-Catching Bureau early tomorrow morning."
"Uh, okay!" Ling Yi nodded.
After the car drove away, Ling Yi stood speechlessly at the entrance of the residential area.
The Simulation home you've chosen for yourself is in this neighborhood, right?
But which building, which room is mine?
Ling Yi unleashed his Perception, quickly scanning the room with his Divine Power, and soon found his "home" among the many rooms!
Because there was a photo of Ling Yi in this drawer.
The Simulation scenarios are getting increasingly frustrating.
Ling Yi only found his "home" because he had a cheat code, so how are the other contestants supposed to find theirs?
At midnight, the system's voice sounded precisely on time.
[Ding, the host's "Lying Down" rating is average; a random reward is being given.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: Daoist School secret technique, Paper Talisman Puppet!]
