This actor is full of tricks.

"Have you heard? A guy claiming to be a doctor has suddenly appeared around here and has been killing weirdos."

"What doctor? I've never heard of that. Where did you hear about it?"

In the mist, two ghosts were gnawing on an arm, talking as they ate.

An old ghost swallowed the torn flesh into its mouth, looked around, and said in a low voice, "Do you know about the wedding of General Sanshui Bay? I heard that all the ghosts who went there were killed, and only some scraps of meat were left at the scene."

"No, all the ghosts are dead. Who told you that?" Another ghost was clearly skeptical: "The General of Sanshui Bay is a B-level vengeful ghost. Who in this area could kill him? Could it be something that came out from deeper within?"

"Don't disbelieve me, I heard it from the guy who was going to deliver the gift. He was a little late, otherwise he would definitely be dead too."

"Later, a ghost saw a doctor indiscriminately slaughtering all the ghosts he saw, even C-level ghosts could only become food in the doctor's mouth."

The old man's face was deathly pale: "I don't know where such a terrifying fellow came from, he even managed to kill a general."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly looked up to his right, where heavy footsteps were approaching from the mist.

The other ghost also heard the footsteps and looked over warily.

The swirling mist parted to both sides, and a figure wearing a black overcoat and shattered gold-rimmed glasses emerged from it.

Upon seeing this attire, the old man's expression changed drastically: "Could this be that doctor?!"

Lin Jue looked at the two E-rank monsters in front of him, his gaze lingering for a moment on the arm that had been gnawed to pieces. A gentle smile appeared on his lips: "Do you know of any dangerous monsters around here? I need to talk to one about something."

"There...there, in that pond, there's a water monster...its strength is at level C..." The old monster's words were slurred, and he pointed shakily to one side.

"Thank you." Lin Jue nodded slightly and walked in the direction the old man was pointing.

Seeing that the doctor, who was rumored to kill ghosts without blinking an eye, had left after asking only one question, the two ghosts breathed a sigh of relief. The slightly younger-looking ghost lowered his voice and said, "He doesn't seem that powerful. Old man, your information is wrong."

No sooner had he finished speaking than two black chains flew out from the direction Lin Jue had disappeared in, instantly killing the two ghosts before they could even react, and then disappearing into the mist with their corpses.

On the bank of the murky pond, Lin Jue sat cross-legged, munching on a piece of meat floss bread, while Bi Zheng on the other side was devouring the corpse of the water monster.

"How do you feel? Do you feel like you've made a breakthrough?" Lin Jue took a sip of milk and swallowed the meat floss bread in his mouth.

“Less than a third.” Bi Zheng wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth.

Along the way, he fed Bi Zheng three B-grade and several C-grade beasts, yet it was still less than a third of the way through. Is it really that difficult for the Child of the Mist to break through from B to A?
Lin Jue ate the last bite of bread, raised his wrist to check the time. 37 hours had passed since he entered the mist, leaving him with about 5 and a half days.

We need to speed things up!

According to the bizarre distribution of the misty world, the closer to the depths, the stronger the strange forces. There are even A-level strange forces lurking outside the dense fog area.

Although Lin Jue didn't know which direction to go in the dense fog zone, the Child of the Mist could find it accurately. He immediately had Bi Zheng lead the way, heading towards the fog zone. He also wanted to see what it was like and whether the patient Li Changming had rescued was still there. Led by Bi Zheng, Lin Jue moved forward like a ruthless cleaner, killing any strange creatures he encountered. He fed the low-level ones to A Jin to restore his health, and had Bi Zheng consume the higher-level ones to increase his strength.

After the hour hand on the watch went around once more, A Jin's body finally fully recovered. Although his strength had not yet returned to its peak, it was not far off; it was just a matter of feeding a few C-rank monsters.

"The mist is indeed a bizarre paradise. In ten years, the number of strange creatures revived by the mist is incalculable. And of the things that died before the mist, probably less than one percent have escaped from the mist to the real world. It's hard to imagine what the world would be like if the mist never recedes."

The old headmaster looked solemn. Although he was strange, he belonged to the human camp.

"So this is a way for me to relieve some pressure in the real world in the future." Lin Jue grinned, barged into a nearby house, and killed the guy who was spying inside.

The continuous high-intensity travel and killing had left him somewhat mentally exhausted. Since he was heading into the depths of the mist, he needed to ensure he had enough energy, so he decided to take a nap before continuing.

However, he had only been lying down for a short while when Bi Zheng, who was waiting outside the room, knocked on the door: "Dr. Zhou, there's a guy who wants to see you."

Someone wants to see me?
Lin Jue slowly opened his eyes. He didn't know anyone in this misty world, so who would want to see him?

"Bring him in." Lin Jue sat up from the bed.

The door was pushed open, and Bi Zheng dragged in a D-level monster bound by chains.

Lin Jue carefully examined the strange creature, searching through all his memories, but he had no recollection of it whatsoever.

The ghost, trembling with fear from being bound by chains, forced a smile onto its tearless face when it saw Lin Jue: "Doctor, my great ghost wants to see you."

A great mystery...

What a terrible way to address someone...

"Who is that guy? What does he want from me? And how does he know I'm here?" Lin Jue asked several questions in a row.

“My Great Ghost is the only A-level evil ghost within a hundred kilometers.” The ghost said this with a face full of pride, then hesitated and said, “I don’t know anything else… He just told me to come and call you.”

Lin Jue frowned deeply, but quickly relaxed his brow: "Lead the way."

Bi Zheng loosened the chains, and the strange creature led the way, trembling. Lin Jue followed closely behind. The further they went, the thicker the fog became, and the visibility decreased, shrinking to within ten meters.

After walking for about half an hour, Lin Jue noticed that Bi Zheng, who was walking ahead, as well as A Jin and He Wen, who were in raincoats, had become somewhat restless.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Have you noticed anything?"

"The 'Great Demon' that guy mentioned should be a Child of the Mist; I sensed it," He Wen whispered in her raincoat.
