Horror Resurrection: I Evolve Starting with the Ghost Buddha

All the scenes were actually illusions created by Lin Chuan.

This is also his only two rule-based abilities at present—[Blood and Tears Illusion].

Although his rule-based ability doesn't have any real destructive power, it's more than enough to scare ordinary people.

Seeing the three trapped in the illusion, trembling with fear, Lin Chuan activated another of his rule abilities—[Peeping].

Soon, images flooded his mind.

These scenes are the memories of these three burly men!

The young master of the Zhao family abducted a young girl on the street, assaulted her in a private room, and tortured her to death.

The three men were responsible for cleaning up the mess, dumping the body in the wilderness, and threatening the victim's family.

The girl's mother went to the yamen to file a complaint, but was brutally beaten and then chased by the three men all the way to this place...

This is the current state of this world!

In the dark corners where the light cannot reach, the web woven by power and money is sometimes more terrifying than the most cunning and treacherous.

"Oh……"

Lin Chuan let out a cold laugh.

Although he had become a monster, he still felt emotional fluctuations in the face of the evil in the world.

As Lin Chuan's anger grew, the [Blood and Tears Illusion] he wove became increasingly terrifying!

In the eyes of the three burly men, Lin Chuan's Buddha statue seemed to have suddenly grown countless times larger, and was opening its giant mouth to devour them.

"No...don't come any closer!!"

"A ghost! A real ghost! Help!"

The three men's mental defenses completely collapsed, and they rolled on the ground, clutching their heads, defecating and urinating indiscriminately.

But the madwoman who was originally in despair was now unusually lucid.

She was not affected by the strange power; she only saw the Buddha statue on the lotus platform shedding blood tears.

Seeing this, she showed no fear, but instead revealed an almost morbid fanaticism.

"Buddha... has appeared to us..."

"Buddha is helping me..."

With trembling hands, she touched the fallen steel pipe on the ground and pulled a sharp switchblade from the bearded man's waist.

She stood up.

The next moment, she walked up to the bearded man who was still struggling in his hallucination.

puff!

Without any hesitation, the blade plunged deep into the fleshy neck.

Blood gushed out, splattering all over her face.

The warm, metallic scent of blood seemed to stimulate her; she drew her knife and stabbed again, and again…

"This is on behalf of Xiaoya returning it to you!"

"This is being returned to the Zhao family!"

"Die! All of you, die!"

Ten minutes later.

The dilapidated temple fell silent once more.

There were only heavy breathing sounds and the sound of blood dripping.

Three corpses lay sprawled on the ground, their deaths gruesome.

The woman, covered in blood and carrying a chipped knife, staggered to the Buddha statue.

With her last ounce of strength, she dragged the three corpses to the foot of the lotus platform and arranged them neatly.

Then, she knelt down again, clasped her blood-stained hands together, and kowtowed heavily.

"May Buddha be with you above."

"Please accept these offerings."

Her face was contorted with madness. What normal person would offer a corpse as a sacrifice to a Buddha statue?!

Fortunately, Lin Chuan wasn't exactly a proper Buddha statue.

He happens to be a strange and evil Buddha.

He did not resist the flesh and blood of living beings.

As the woman finished speaking, wisps of visible black mist rose from the three corpses and were absorbed into the Buddha statue by Lin Chuan.

[Receiving the sacrifice: sinful flesh and blood.]

[Gained Wishes Power: +30.]

Lin Chuan felt the power growing within his body, and the cracks on the surface of the stone statue seemed to have healed by a barely perceptible thread.

But... that's not enough.

This amount of willpower is not enough for him to truly move towards evolution.

However, at that moment, the woman kneeling on the ground suddenly raised her head.

There was no longer any attachment to life in her eyes, only emptiness and resentment!

"Buddha..."

"These three lives are not enough... not enough to atone for the sins of the Zhao family."

"That young master Zhao is still at large, and the Zhao family is still around..."

"I'm just an ordinary woman. I can't kill Young Master Zhao, and I can't fight against the Zhao family..."

She took a deep breath, her voice becoming unusually calm, a calmness that was unsettling.

"Your disciple is willing to dedicate himself to you as well."

"My life, my soul, my flesh and blood... I give them all to you."

"I only ask that you... punish the Zhao family."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, two blood-red options suddenly appeared before Lin Chuan's eyes.

[A special choice has been triggered.]

Option 1: Accept the sacrifice.

[Reward: +200 Willpower]

[Reward: Unlocks the rule ability - Deadly Chant.]

[Note: Once activated, the Soul-Slaying Chant can annihilate units with a terror level lower than its own within the master's perception range! It can also inflict forced stun and suppression on units of the same level! There is also a chance to convert surrounding units, causing them to convert and become followers.]

Option 2: Refuse the sacrifice.

[Reward: Evolution Points +10.]

Lin Chuan fell silent.

If he gains 200 points of willpower, he might be able to evolve directly to level E.

But he suppressed his greed and spoke slowly.

Of course, not with the mouth, but through the power of rules, the voice is projected directly into the woman's mind.

The voice was loud and cold, with a metallic quality, as if it came from the deepest abyss.

"Sacrifice means death."

"Are you really sure?"

This was Lin Chuan's last remaining shred of humanity asking the question.

The woman was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting the Buddha statue to actually respond to her.

Then, she gave a bitter smile, her eyes reddening.

"Buddha, your disciple has no more attachments in this world..."

"As long as the Zhao family pays the price, I'm willing to die, or even be condemned to eternal damnation!"

Before he could finish speaking...

A resolute glint flashed in the woman's eyes.

She suddenly raised the sharp blade in her hand and stabbed it fiercely into her own throat!

puff!

Blood gushed out, staining the offering table before the Buddha red and splashing onto the cold stone statue.

She lay in a pool of blood, her body convulsing, but her eyes were fixed on the Buddha statue until the last glimmer of light faded, and a hint of relief lingered on her lips.

Inside the temple, the air grew increasingly still.

Lin Chuan watched this scene without feeling much emotion.

"Since this is your choice."

"Then...as you wish."

At the same time, the panel in front of Lin Chuan refreshed again.

Congratulations on receiving +200 Wishes!

You have accumulated over 200 points of wish power.

[One-click Evolution Module Activated: All Fear Points, Willpower, etc., that you acquire will be converted into Evolution Points at a 1:1 ratio! Consume Evolution Points to directly upgrade and evolve!]

You currently have 240 evolution points.

[Currently consuming 100 evolution points, you can immediately evolve to Rank E!]

Upon seeing the information on the panel, Lin Chuan did not hesitate and immediately began the terrifying evolution!

Swish! !

The moment the 100 evolution points were used up, a series of new messages popped up on the screen.

[Consumes 100 evolution points.]

[Rank Upgrade: F Rank → E Rank]

[Unlock Ability: Deadly Chant.]

[Ability Description: Your chanting is no longer a whisper, but a death knell.]

As his level increased, Lin Chuan felt that his control over his surroundings had greatly improved.

His previous rule-following abilities could only affect a range of up to two meters.

Now, with a single thought, his power of rules can cover most of the main hall of the Buddhist temple.

Most importantly, after his terror level increased, part of the originally damaged Buddha statue's body was also repaired.

Without realizing it, he glanced at the female corpse on the ground again.

At this moment, the female corpse was completely dried up, as if all the water in her body had been drained.

Just as Lin Chuan was about to deal with it, suddenly, an unexpected change occurred.

He saw the female corpse... and it actually moved.

【warn!warn! 】

[The corpse is undergoing bizarre changes!]

[His intense obsession led to his resurrection after death...]

Lin Chuan's mind sharpened, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.

He sensed the eerie aura emanating from the woman, a aura that seemed to surpass even his own!

The other party has also become a monster!

Moreover, the other party's potential is clearly very large.

At this stage, most of the supernatural phenomena are generally classified as F-level when they first reappear.

But the woman was already at an E-rank! And she was very close to being a D-rank!!

Fortunately, she did not attack Lin Chuan.

She stiffly got up from the ground, the knife still stuck in her neck, her head tilted to one side, connected only by a layer of skin and flesh.

Just as Lin Chuan was tense and ready to suppress the woman at any moment, she slowly turned around, faced Lin Chuan's Buddha statue, and knelt down again.

Although her movements were stiff, they were incredibly devout.

[Hint! Hint!]

This strange unit has voluntarily submitted to you as its master.

[Gained its first die-hard follower.]

[Follower's code name: Crying Devious One.]

[Terror Level: E]

[Rule Ability: Lament! A living person targeted by her will be overcome with grief by her weeping and eventually die in tears...]

[Congratulations on gaining your first follower! You have acquired the special ability, Blessing! Note: You can use Evolution Points to bless your follower! The lower the follower's terror level, the less blessing points are required.]

"A weeping monster born from grief and anger?"

Lin Chuan looked at the "crying ghost" kneeling in front of him and understood.

Perhaps it was because she voluntarily sacrificed herself before her death that even after becoming a monster, she remained loyal to herself.

"Fine..."

"Since you have come to believe in me, I will bestow upon you a blessing."

With a thought, Lin Chuan mobilized the remaining evolution points.

A new notification instantly appeared on the panel in front of me.

[Consumes 10 evolution points to bless the believer "Crying Ghost".]

[May your success be blessed.]

[The Crying Ghost gains a new trait: Control.]

[Description: She can control her killing patterns, targeting specific individuals to avoid indiscriminate attacks that could lead to uncontrollable consequences. At the same time, her master can take over all her actions at any time.]

As soon as the prompt appeared, layers of dark light surged from Lin Chuan's body, illuminating the Crying Ghost.

Bathed in the dark light, the once dull, lifeless eyes of the Crying Ghost gradually gained a touch of liveliness.

"Go."

"Go to Changyang City, make the Zhao family pay the price, and I will stand with you..."

"However, remember that every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor."

"Apart from the Zhao family, do not commit any more murders."

It's not that Lin Chuan is kind-hearted, but rather that he still needs to develop his strength cautiously.

If the Crying Ghost goes on a killing spree in the city and causes widespread panic, it will definitely attract the attention of the top night patrolmen of the Ghost Suppression Division.

If the Zhengui Division follows the clues and sets their sights on me, that would be a real problem!

The grotesque creature nodded slightly, its head tilted to one side.

The bizarre are usually devoid of intelligence; they are like machines that kill according to rules!

But the crying ghost before us clearly retains a trace of its memories from its previous life.

She possesses a certain degree of independent thinking and can understand Lin Chuan's words.

"Waaah..."

Upon receiving Lin Chuan's command, she let out a low whimper, then took a step and vanished from the spot in an instant.

……

Just moments after the crying ghost left.

Before Lin Chuan could even settle down, rustling sounds began to emerge from the woods surrounding the dilapidated temple.

Clearly, more living people have arrived.
