Horror Resurrection: I Evolve Starting with the Ghost Buddha

After half an hour.

The headquarters plaza of the Black Snake Society.

Zhang Yang, along with several trusted confidants, had already taken refuge beneath the forbidden sculpture, which stood a hundred meters tall.

"Phew... we should be safe now."

Zhang Yang leaned against the cold stone base and let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking up, the giant serpent sculpture coiled around the stone pillar had bloodshot eyes and exuded a chilling sense of oppression.

"Captain, why do I feel... a little cold?"

One of the subordinates shrank back, his voice trembling slightly.

"Of course! Everyone gets cold in winter!"

"Stop being so paranoid!"

Zhang Yang cursed irritably, then pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

But as soon as the lighter flame shot out, it turned into a strange, eerie green.

"Um?"

Zhang Yang was taken aback.

Before he could react...

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

The once brightly lit square instantly turned pitch black.

Only the giant serpent sculpture overhead emitted a faint red glow.

Enveloped in that red light, he felt a bone-chilling cold.

"Wha...what happened?"

Zhang Yang dropped the cigarette in his hand.

To his horror, he discovered that the giant snake sculpture was actually moving!

The giant snake that had been coiled around the stone pillar slowly unfurled its body.

Those scarlet eyes stared intently at them.

then.

Its body began to twist and deform.

The black scales fell off, as if they were about to transform into countless pained human faces.

Its originally slender snake body gradually expanded, transforming into a seated, chaotic black light-swirling around it... an evil Buddha!

The evil Buddha's face was blurred, yet it gave off an indescribable sense of terror.

"This...this isn't an adult sculpture..."

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Zhang Yang and the others' hearts were pounding wildly.

They tried to run away, but were horrified to find that their legs seemed to be rooted to the spot and they couldn't move.

"Namo..."

The evil Buddha stared at the group and emitted a loud and sinister voice.

Immediately afterwards, a black Buddha's hand that blotted out the sky descended from the heavens and enveloped them.

"ah!!!"

[Gained 120 points in Fear Value for Outrageousness.]

[Gained 200 points of fear from Li Zhong.]

【…】

As their fear continued to escalate.

Inside the Temple of Rebirth, prompts kept popping up on the panel deep within Lin Chuan's consciousness.

In fact.

Zhang Yang and his group never actually went to the real headquarters square of the [Black Snake Society].

From the moment they left the conference room, they were already immersed in the dream woven by Lin Chuan.

In reality.

Like a group of sleepwalking zombies, they were led by the eerie coughing ghost to a dark and filthy slum alley.

This is the lowest level of hell under the rule of the Black Serpent Society.

Every day, countless people die of hunger, disease, or are simply abandoned here to die.

Zhang Yang and his gang usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly, never giving this place a second glance.

And today.

This will become their burial place.

"Uh...uh..."

Deep in the alley, Zhang Yang and the others began to convulse violently.

Their deaths were exactly the same as in the dream.

Some were suspended in mid-air by an invisible force, their tongues sticking out long.

Some bodies were twisted into a pretzel shape, with bones broken inch by inch.

Others were engulfed in eerie green flames and silently turned to ashes.

"Good riddance! Good riddance!!"

"Heaven has eyes! These beasts have finally gotten their comeuppance!!"

The poor people in the surrounding shacks saw this scene through their broken windows, and they all burst into tears.

If they weren't afraid of retaliation from the Black Serpent Society headquarters, they would have even wanted to go out and set off firecrackers to celebrate.

They recognized Zhang Yang.

This so-called B-level Demon Hunter captain has the blood of civilians on his hands.

He once tortured and killed hundreds of poor people in the street for the sake of the bizarre rules of his experiment.

Many poor people have suffered oppression, humiliation, and even murder at the hands of these demon-controlling members of the "Black Serpent Society"!

Now, Zhang Yang and others are also experiencing the taste of being tortured and killed.

With the deaths of Zhang Yang and others.

Several eerie black phantoms floated out from their corpses.

"Go, devour those monsters."

Lin Chuan gave the order to the Crying Ghost.

Soon, the Crying Ghost emerged upside down from the shadows, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed all the strange creatures inside Zhang Yang's body.

boom!!

After devouring one D-level, C-level, and B-level monster after another, as well as the B-level monster within Zhang Yang's body, the aura of rules emanating from the Crying Monster suddenly surged.

Her body is also changing!!

With a soft "whoosh," a pair of pale white bone wings emerged from behind her.

The bone wings were covered with rotting bits of flesh and still-bleeding eyeballs.

[The Crying Ghost has been successfully promoted!]

[Current Level: A!]

[New Form: Fallen Vengeful Spirit!]

【Serial Number: 300!!】

"Huh?"

Lin Chuan was extremely surprised when he saw the appearance of the crying ghost and the prompt suddenly given by the panel.

Perhaps it's due to its immense potential, or perhaps it's because it's attached to Lin Chuan, this forbidden being... the A-rank Crying Monster actually has a serial number!!

No, she can no longer be called a "crying ghost".

She is almost entirely taboo!

Her title has also become—Fallen Vengeful Spirit!!

Just hearing her name, Lin Chuan felt that she might bring him even more surprises in the future!

At the same time that the Crying Demon was undergoing its transformation.

The headquarters of the Black Serpent Society was in an uproar.

"What?! Zhang Yang and the others have disappeared?!"

Liu Tiesheng slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his face full of disbelief.

"Weren't we telling them to stay in the square?"

"Reporting to the Vice President... the plaza guards said they didn't see Captain Zhang and his group go by at all..."

"Where did they go?!"

"Find him! Dig three feet into the ground if you must!!"

soon.

The bodies of Zhang Yang and others were found in the slums.

The gruesome manner of the death caused those who went to collect the body to vomit.

Even more terrifying.

The strangeness within them all vanished.

"This is... a hunt!"

"Someone is hunting down our Ghost Riders!!"

Liu Tiesheng's hands trembled as he looked at the autopsy report.

At the same time, an unprecedented sense of fear was gradually enveloping his heart.

however.

This is just the beginning.

That evening.

As soon as Liu Tiesheng closed his eyes, he had a dream.

In my dream, there was an endless sea of ​​blood.

The demon tamers of the Black Serpent Society were sinking and wailing in the sea of ​​blood.

He himself was nailed to a huge bronze pillar, suffering the agony of being pierced by thousands of arrows.

"ah!!"

He woke up with a start and found himself completely soaked.

Before he could even recover his senses...

There was a rapid knocking at the door.

"Vice President! Something's happened!"

"Everyone's having nightmares!!"

"The content of the dream... is exactly the same!!"

Panic erupted completely.

The entire Serpent Society's demon tamers, from top to bottom, were shrouded in the shadow of the "Dream of the Demon."

The feeling of not knowing when you might die is enough to drive a person insane.

"Damn it! What on earth is that?!"

Liu Tiesheng's eyes were bloodshot, like a wild beast driven to the brink of despair.

"It must be solved! It must!!"

He summoned all the top executives and made a crazy decision.

"Sacrifice!"

"Arrest 100,000 people!"

"Hold a blood sacrifice ceremony in the square!"

"We pray that the [Black Serpent Taboo] will bestow a miracle and protect us!!"

The order has been issued.

The Black Snake Society's security force stormed into the slums and civilian areas like mad dogs.

"Arrest them! Men, women, old, young, everyone!!"

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!!"

The entire base city instantly turned into a living hell.

Cries, gunshots, and screams echoed through the sky.

Countless innocent civilians were forcibly dragged from their homes and herded to the headquarters square like livestock.

……

Inside the Temple of Rebirth.

Lin Chuan watched this scene without stopping it.

in contrast.

His gaze grew even colder.

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."

"Go ahead and make a scene."

"The bigger the commotion, the better."

"When everyone is completely desperate..."

"This is the perfect time for me to make my appearance."

"Hehehe!!!"

In the blink of an eye, he relayed another order to Zhao Linfeng.

"Go, take that thing out."

"Yes."

Soon, Zhao Linfeng arrived in front of Lin Chuan, carrying a heavy golden box.

The box was opened.

A grayish-white baby was curled up inside, with a drop of eerie black blood slowly wriggling on its forehead.

The baby was none other than the A-level anomaly that Lin Chuan had previously imprisoned—the [Vengeful Fetus]!

Even though it was suppressed by Lin Chuan's power of rules, it still exuded a terrifyingly tyrannical aura of rules.

Lin Chuan originally planned to devour it directly after advancing to A-level.

Later, due to various dramatic changes, my attention was diverted, and I almost forgot about its existence...

Now, it's time to deal with it.

"My Buddha, you want to...?"

Looking at this monster that had almost destroyed Changyang City, Zhao Linfeng still felt a little scared.

"But this thing... has the potential to become taboo."

"I want to see if anyone can handle it..."

"Could a... Forbidden Master be born?"

Lin Chuan responded to Zhao Linfeng.

He no longer intended to devour this vengeful spirit.

For him, a mere A-grade anomaly wouldn't be of much use even if he devoured it.

It would be better to use this vengeful spirit to cultivate another powerful fanatic.

Upon hearing Lin Chuan's voice, Zhao Linfeng's breath hitched, and a glint of longing flashed in his eyes.

Forbidden Teacher!

That's an existence that surpasses even an A-level Ghost Master!

During this time, he gradually learned about the existence of supernatural beings above Grade A!

The three forbidden ranks: S-rank, SS-rank, and SSS-rank!!

Each level is further divided into nine tiers!

At this stage, A-level monster tamers are still considered top-tier.

After all, most taboos in the world exist in the form of 'mediums', and have not truly revived or truly descended into this world.

Even if there are forbidden entities that roam the world, they are all "low-level" forbidden entities.

Forbidden entities with a terror level exceeding S-rank 2 and in a fully revived state, even if they exist, are very few in number.

Thinking of this, Zhao Linfeng's expression grew even more fervent, but the next moment, he regained his composure.

Because he could sense that the four strange creatures he was controlling were in serious conflict with the rules of the Vengeful Embryo.

If he forcibly tries to control the "Vengeful Embryo Ghost", he will not only fail to become stronger, but the monsters within him, including the "Vengeful Embryo Ghost", will also freeze up!

"My Buddha, I want to try... controlling the vengeful spirit!"

Just as Zhao Linfeng was feeling regretful, a clear, cold voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Zhao Linfeng looked up and saw Xiao Hong striding towards him.

Immediately afterwards, she knelt heavily before Lin Chuan's evil Buddha statue, her eyes filled with fervor and determination.

Lin Chuan looked at her, a thought flashing through his mind.

Xiao Hong herself is an A-level Ghost Master. If she were to control the "Vengeful Fetus Ghost," there is even a chance that she could directly become a Forbidden Master!

Furthermore, she had already been converted and become his fanatical follower.

From the current perspective, she is indeed a suitable candidate.

"allow."

As Lin Chuan's resounding Buddhist chants subsided, the vengeful spirit within the golden box seemed to be drawn by some force, transforming into a streak of gray light and burrowing into Xiao Hong's abdomen.

"ah!!"

Xiao Hong let out a painful groan, her body trembling violently.

But she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Gradually, a strange black pattern spread from her abdomen to her entire body.

Finally, a black mark formed on her forehead.

boom!!

A power fluctuation that surpassed the rules of A-level emanated from her.

Lin Chuan sensed that although she had not become a true taboo, she had already touched that threshold.

"Thank you, Buddha, for granting my wish!!"

Xiao Hong noticed the change in herself and was very excited. She kowtowed nine times to Lin Chuan.
