Chapter 203 Strange Tales: The Silent Black Tea's Revenge
After entering the Realm of Death, Ji Yi carried Miss Cat for several kilometers. Although they were still within the domain, it was obviously safer to stay there than outside.

Let's stop here.

As Ji Yi spoke, she put Miss Cat down.

This is the city center business district, filled with high-rise buildings, a testament to its former prosperity.

Suddenly, I felt a few taps on my shoulder, and the camera panned to Miss Cat's face.

Miss Cat gestured: "You've come to this place, are you confident you can escape? I'm feeling a little uneasy."

Seeing this, Ji Yi scratched his head.

What does it mean to say, "Don't move around here, I'll be right back. My breasts aren't very big right now"?
The data analysis tool couldn't stand it anymore and popped up a text message for translation.

Ji Yi suddenly realized and immediately replied:
"Don't worry, we only need to hide from one boss here, and it's not nearby right now."

Miss Cat frowned upon seeing this.

She was wondering what she meant by, "My heart can't hold anyone else, only you; Xie Jiayi isn't on my mind."

Ji Yi: "?"

Their comprehension skills are, if not on par with mine, at least equally good.

He sighed, took a box of matches from his backpack, and drew words in the air on the ground:
'Let's go find paper and pen.'

Miss Cat understood immediately and pointed to a shopping mall building.

The two nodded to each other and headed towards the shopping mall together.

In a place unseen by the two, a bizarre creature with an octopus-like head suddenly blinked rapidly, its bulging, spherical eyes emitting an eerie light.

Ji Yi stepped through the broken glass door and quickly found paper and pen in the lobby reception area.

For some reason, ever since he entered this area, he has felt a strange sense of unease.

But the data analysis provided no information whatsoever, not even the location of the "silence" or any further details.

In short, the credibility of the data eye is quite high. Unless it involves matters related to gods, it generally won't cause any problems.

Thinking of this, Ji Yi decided not to flee immediately, but to stay for a while until it was safer outside before leaving.

Because it is currently a "period of mutation," the entire forbidden zone of ghost stories is covered by pure darkness. Therefore, strictly speaking, the Realm of Silence is an area without sight or hearing.

In this situation, it is extremely difficult to distinguish the environment by touch, smell, or other senses.

In the darkness, a pair of golden vertical pupils and a pair of crimson vertical pupils glowed, trailing streaks of light silently in the pitch black like two ghostly figures.

"The little girl who loves to sing is named Yoshida Nana, and she is a friend that Xiao Hong met in Japan."

Ji Yi wrote down the words on the paper.

Miss Cat, on the other hand, found some alcohol lamp supplies from somewhere and made her own alcohol lamp.

Then she took out paper and pen and wrote: "[Ghost God Eye] not only consumes mental energy, but also erodes consciousness over time. It is safe for now, so you should stop using it."

Ji Yi nodded, first using [Card Copying Technique] again to copy two temporary [Ghost God Eyes], and then canceled the status.

In the room, only one lamp emitted a faint light.

Ji Yi continued writing down the information he had extracted from the torture:

“Nain came to us for a simple reason: the ‘Demon Eye’ you have was made from Koko’s eye. In a way, we are paying off a debt.”

He writes incredibly fast; being naturally skilled at speed, he can make his writing speed match his speaking speed.

"She is Xiao Hong's friend, and claims to be her sworn sister. Of course, this wording is quite interesting. Xiao Hong doesn't seem to be from Japan, but from China."

Miss Cat stared intently at the text, as if she sensed that some great secret was hidden there.

However, what Ji Yi wrote next disappointed her.

"Before Xiao Hong died, she made a wish to the evil god. I thought Nai Yin would know something about the evil god, but it seems that she was just seeking revenge and didn't know some of the information that Xiao Hong had."

"However, I also found some clues."

"Do you remember when I told you that my mother was tricked into joining a cult, and then used me as a guarantor, leaving me with a mountain of debt?"

"I haven't been able to find any clues about that person in the sect, but that's not important. The key point is that Xiao Hong is not a bizarre personality split off from a mental patient in Japan. She is a real person who came to Japan from China."

"In other words, Xiao Hong's knowledge about the evil god most likely came from the Xia Kingdom."

"So have you noticed the coincidence? They are two completely different worlds, yet they have the same evil god cult within similar cultural spheres."

"Xiao Hong is dead, and Nai Yin can't get any information out of her. In the real world, everything about that evil god's cult is untraceable. But now I have a new idea: what if we go to Xia Country to look for clues about the evil god?"

In the "Ghost Stories" dungeon world, the main platform for players to complete quests is Japan, after all, it is the origin of ghost stories.

However, when it comes to how these stories were popularized, whether it was China, India, or the United States, each country had its own localized version of these strange tales.

This is actually a much larger world than we imagine. We shouldn't confine ourselves to a small island nation; a corner of the world cannot represent the whole world.

"Perhaps I should have gone to the banquet at the invitation of the evil god, so that I might have learned a lot of inside information sooner."

Ji Yi wrote it down stroke by stroke.

"But I don't regret turning around to help you solve the Ghost Town problem, especially since I hate being manipulated by some high and mighty guys."

"So next time, we can try to find clues in Xia Kingdom. Maybe we can find out what that high and mighty 'He' is doing and what his purpose is."

If the evil god caused Ji Yi's family to be destroyed and his family to die, it was because he chose Ji Yi as a pawn.

What are other other worlds like those with similar evil god churches up to?
Behind the game of the gods, do they have other purposes, and what kind of interference have they made in various worlds?
All of this piqued Ji Yi's curiosity.

He wasn't originally a story-driven player; he was only interested in investigating game bugs.

But now, he feels a strange urge to trace back to the source and search for the meaning of his birth.

These are probably the three major questions in life: Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

Just as he was lost in thought, Miss Cat suddenly handed him a pre-written note:

“Now, when you talk about the impact of the evil cult on your family, you don’t seem to be angry or sad anymore.”

Ji Yi was taken aback when she saw this.

Yes, how could he so calmly say he was going to investigate the Church of the Evil God? Wasn't this a meaningful revenge trip? Was his idea to go to Xia Kingdom just for the game, the dungeon, and to satisfy his own curiosity?

'It must be Hei Yi's influence; he took away so many of my negative emotions.'

Ji Yi thought to himself.

Indeed, a person who has lost a part cannot be considered a complete soul.

Let's find a suitable opportunity to bring that guy back. Speaking of which, I wonder if the Haunted Building is still safe since Misaki became an SS-class ghost story. I wonder if Kuroki was mistaken for a lowly grunt and sucked away?

Boom boom boom boom!
More than 80 kilometers away, a building in Dayan City trembled violently.

As for the loud shout, it was completely drowned out by the roar.

"Hei Yi has blasted through dozens of floors from the rooftop, even reaching the foundation." A young man with a face as gloomy as a corpse said to a little boy.

"Don't you even know how to do anything about it? He's practically brought this building to the brink of collapse. Besides, that little rascal is your sister. Don't you feel any remorse at all?"

The little boy was expressionless.
"Because of Kurohi, we were able to avoid being devoured by Misaki. Compared to this sacrifice, it's already a very good outcome."

His will seemed to have been taken over by the Ghost Tower at this moment, and he no longer resembled a child.

Upon hearing this, the young man was about to say something when he heard a sneeze as loud as thunder.

"Ah sneeze!!!"

After the thunderclap, the continuous rumbling stopped, and then a curse came from underground:

"Damn it, I was having so much fun, and who the hell is talking about me behind my back?!"

The young man immediately fell silent upon hearing this.

Fortunately, this incident had nothing to do with him.

"Oh~ it's that virgin bastard again. He's as weak as a chicken, yet he dares to trespass into restricted areas."

As the dark voice drew closer, the young man and the little boy saw a dark figure slowly emerging from the pit, dragging a leg along its length.

The owner of that leg had her eyes rolled back and her pretty mouth slightly open, indicating that she had already fainted. At the same time, as she was being dragged, she left streaks of water on the ground.

"They're really useless."

Hei Yi released his grip, and the mischievous boy's rapid breathing suddenly rang out.

"Ha ha."

The mischievous boy's eyes gradually focused as he looked at the dark figure in front of him.

Although it is called the "period of change", there is still light inside the haunted building, so the strange tales are not just about relying on perception and hearing to get through the night.

"Lord Heiyi, did you enjoy yourself?"

As she spoke, she sat up, and the blush on her pretty face made her no longer look like a strange tale, but rather like a healthy person.

If that's not enough, I can...

"Stop, we don't need to now."

Hei Yi interrupted the mischievous boy and then looked out the dark window.

"Can't you just unleash bad luck on units that have already been marked? That kid's back, go get him."

The mischievous boy was taken aback by what he heard.

She first noticed that the little boy and the young man were still there, and quickly stood up, supporting her trembling legs, letting her naturally draped skirt cover her private parts.

Then he looked out the window and asked with a puzzled tone, "Isn't he your friend? Why are you messing with him?"

Hei Yi just snorted coldly: "Why so many questions? I just want to mess with him. Just do as I say."

"Oh."

The mischievous girl responded sweetly, as she felt a fierce, slippery sensation, and at the same time, the power of bad luck activated.

"I see your forehead is dark; you're probably going to die."

Ji Yi looked at the note Miss Cat had written, then glanced at Miss Cat's calm and composed face with a suspicious expression.

Damn, I didn't know Miss Cat could say auspicious things!

Somewhat skeptical, Ji Yi took out the mirror from the lake and looked it up at the red candle she had just found.

Looking in the mirror at night with a red candle, you'll be a god.

This time, the words in front of me were directly reflected on the mirror in the lake.

Due to the "Misfortune-Covered" effect of the "Naughty Ghost," you may encounter extremely unlucky events in the future, greatly reducing your chances of survival.

Ji Yi: "."

Even a prostate can figure it out: the fact that the mischievous ghost can activate his skills means that Hei Yi is not only alive and well, but he even has time to mess with people.

What, you felt the insults being directed at you behind your back? If you're so capable, why don't you just fly to the sky?

What is the purpose of this smear campaign against Yi? Is it to let people know that I'm safe, or is it simply to vent my frustrations?

After all, it was Ji Yi who imprisoned him in the Ghost Tower. One or two days would be fine, but if it went on for too long, even if he vented his anger on the mischievous ghost, it probably wouldn't eliminate the resentment in his heart.

"Idiot, you're so petty."

Ji Yi herself was much more magnanimous!
That's a part of your soul; I hope one day I'll see the boomerang hit you.

Ji Yi made a "tsk" expression, but instead of putting away the mirror in the lake, she activated the "copy" effect.

Immediately, a new Ji Yi and a new Miss Cat emerged from the mirror. The two looked exactly like the original owner, but they were mirror images, so they looked a bit strange.

Miss Cat frowned slightly upon seeing this, then handed over the note:
"If you dare to let them have sex behind my back, I'll kill you."

Ji Yi: "?"

How come I didn't think of such a brilliant idea?
But clearly, Ji Yi isn't that free, at least not right now.

The person in the mirror, who was directing himself and Miss Cat, slowly walked out of the mall.

Due to the blind spot, Ji Yi had to use [Ghostly Eye] again to better command the two clones to move around outside.

On the other hand, Ji Yi also gave the person in the mirror a torch, not to help them find their way, but to make certain threats that were not visible in the dark focus their attention on the person in the mirror first.

But it didn't end there. Ji Yi then summoned a female ghost wearing red high heels from the mirror in the lake.

Originally a product of the haunted building, it has now become a "substitute," residing in the mirror in the lake.

The female ghost didn't need to rely on sight to wander in the darkness. Ji Yi directed her to move around, adding a touch of liveliness to this deathly silent space.

"That way, at least I can react immediately before [Silence] discovers me."

As long as [Silence] is attracted by these baits immediately and does not directly attack Ji Yi, then he will have a chance to counterattack.

If you do this, even if you're incredibly unlucky, you won't be suddenly killed.

As she was thinking, Ji Yi suddenly realized something.

His God's vision allows him to see things in 360 degrees, but why does it feel like he can't see Miss Cat anymore?

It seems that he can't see it, but rather that his "vision that doesn't belong to him" is automatically blocked. If he wants to see Miss Cat, he has to turn his head away.

"strange"

Before she could even utter the word "strange," Ji Yi had already turned her head to look at where Miss Cat had been standing.

The woman who had been so calm and collected had vanished, replaced by a monster with an octopus head.
