Horror Resurrection: I Evolve Starting with the Ghost Buddha

"And this is an opportunity!!"

"An opportunity...to truly take control of our destiny!"

At this point, Mr. K became animated, placing his hands on the table and staring intently at everyone present, before continuing:

"You all know what Kunlunxu is."

"That place seems to hold the secrets of another era, and also contains... forbidden knowledge!"

"After the terrifying resurgence of the apocalypse, how did the Flame Dragon Empire manage to maintain order? How was it able to combat all sorts of strange and forbidden phenomena?"

Mr. K's voice gradually rose in pitch, filled with a seductive power.

"Because they possessed that knowledge!"

"And the majority of this knowledge comes from... Kunlun Ruins!"

"Now, in order to suppress that awakening thing, they have no choice but to ask us for help, no choice but to open the door to the truth!"

"Isn't this a golden opportunity?"

"As long as you can come back alive, as long as you can bring back even a tiny bit of forbidden knowledge..."

"The Great Xin Dynasty now has hope for its rise!"

"Our descendants will no longer have to live in fear and despair like we have!"

Mr. K's every word was like a heavy hammer, containing a certain power of rules, striking everyone's hearts hard.

The fear and resentment that had arisen from the thought of going to one's death gradually dissipated after his impassioned speech.

Instead, there was a tragic sense of mission.

"For the Great Xin Dynasty!"

A young demon tamer, his eyes red-rimmed, roared in a low voice.

"For the Great Xin Dynasty!!"

More people were infected, and they clenched their fists.

Although Ning Shou remained silent, the hesitation in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a resolute look.

"Go ahead without worry."

Mr. K walked up to Ning Shou Noodles, gently patted his shoulder, and spoke in a soft and sincere tone.

"No matter the outcome, the Great Xin Dynasty will never forget your sacrifices."

"Your family will receive the best care."

"This is my... K's promise."

Ning Shou took a deep look at this man who was always unfathomable, and finally nodded slowly.

"I hope you...keep your promise."

"Don't doubt it, please believe me! Believe in the Great Xin Dynasty!!"

Mr. K looked very serious and spoke with sincerity.

……

three days later.

The Great Xin Dynasty, the temporary capital city.

This megacity with a population of 30 million is now under extremely tight security.

A million fully armed troops were stationed outside the city, thousands of demon hunters patrolled inside, and various instruments for detecting forbidden things were operating at full power.

This is the last command center of the Great Xin Dynasty, and also one of the safest places within the Great Xin Dynasty's territory.

however.

For Zhou Kai, this place felt like a giant cage.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Zhou Kai hid in the bathroom, repeatedly rinsing his face with cold water, trying to calm himself down.

Just now.

He received a transfer order.

As one of the best A-level Ghost Riders, he was also on the list of those going to Kunlun Ruins!

"What 'for the Great Xin Dynasty,' what 'for the future of humanity'... it's all bullshit!"

Looking at his face in the mirror, distorted by fear, Zhou Kai felt a deep sense of despair.

"This is just going to their deaths! Going to be cannon fodder!!"

He didn't want to go.

He wanted to run away.

but……

The entire base city has been sealed off, and there are informants everywhere; he has no way to escape.

Thinking of this, he trembled as he fiddled with his prayer beads and began to pray frantically in his heart.

"Buddha..."

"The supreme and immeasurable Buddha of Rebirth."

"Help! Save your disciple!"

"This disciple doesn't want to go to that awful place!!"

It seemed to sense his call.

next second.

A vast, cold, yet somewhat twisted and malevolent will descended directly into his mind.

"Zhou Kai".

"Your disciple is here!" Zhou Kai shuddered and almost knelt on the ground.

"Go."

Lin Chuan's voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"Kunlun Ruins...that's a place where opportunities arise."

"Your destiny lies within this."

Of course, Lin Chuan just made things up without thinking.

He didn't know the specifics of Kunlun Ruins.

However, in order to reassure Zhou Kai that he could go in and scout ahead, he had no choice but to put on an act of being "in complete control".

"ah?!"

Zhou Kai was dumbfounded.

"But...but it's very dangerous there! I've heard even forbidden masters die there..."

"With me here, you won't die."

Lin Chuan's voice carried an undeniable authority.

"Go and scout the way for me."

"Well done! I will grant you... true transcendence! Even... immortality!!"

"Eternal...immortality?!"

Upon hearing those two words, the fear in Zhou Kai's eyes was instantly replaced by greed.

"Yes! Your disciple obeys!"

Since there's no way to escape, we'll just have to bite the bullet and go for it.

and……

With a true Buddha protecting them, they might even turn misfortune into good fortune.

Zhou Kai comforted himself.

……

Inside the Temple of Rebirth.

Lin Chuan withdrew his will, a thought flashing through his mind.

"Kunlun Ruins..."

"The Land of Divine Revelation..."

"Perhaps, it contains the information I need..."

Through Zhou Kai, who acts as a "human surveillance camera," he can get a glimpse of the true face of that mysterious forbidden area and at the same time search for some truth about the "resurrection of terror"!

……

The temporary headquarters city, central square.

Ning Shou, Zhou Kai, and the other twenty-eight A-level Ghost Riders have assembled.

Everyone's face wore a tragic expression of resignation to their fate.

Of course... Zhou Kai is an exception.

Mr. K stood on the high platform, preparing to deliver his final motivational speech.

Just then.

Om-! ! !

The once clear sky suddenly turned a dark red.

It's like a huge piece of rotten meat that was forcibly plastered onto the sky.

The rotten flesh continued to wriggle, making a nauseating "gurgling" sound.

Followed by.

The dark red light curtain slowly cracked open.

A man wearing a black trench coat and a pale mask, holding three colorful "balloons," slowly descended from the light screen.

Take a closer look.

That's not a balloon at all!

They are clearly three inflated human skin faces!

The human skin face still retained the expression of terror and despair it had shown in life, swaying in the wind with the man's movements.

"hiss!!!"

When Zhou Kai saw this scene, he couldn't help but gasp.

What kind of entrance is this?

This is too creepy!

Inside the Temple of Rebirth.

Lin Chuan also witnessed this scene through Zhou Kai's perspective.

His gaze first fell on the dark red curtain of light in the sky.

In an instant, a notification popped up on the panel deep within his consciousness:

[Special life form/forbidden! detected!]

[Target: The Gate of Flesh and Blood (Entrapped)!]

[Terror Level: S-Rank, Tier 2 (Lawful Taboo)!]

[Rules: Spatial teleportation, flesh and blood recombination!]

"An S-rank, second-order lawful taboo..."

"They've actually been enslaved and turned into teleportation portals?"

Lin Chuan was slightly startled.

Is this the foundation of the Flame Dragon Empire?

The ability to use an S-class forbidden being as a tool is indeed somewhat unbelievable.

Then.

His gaze fell on the masked man again.

[Forbidden Master detected!]

[Target: Codename "Puppet Master"!]

[Terror Level: S-Rank, Tier 4!]

[Forbidden Item: The Grudge Pot (S-Rank, Tier 4)!]

【Serial Number: 208!】

[Rules: Resentment Manipulation (Collects the resentment of the deceased, refines it into a puppet, and controls some of their abilities from their lifetime. The stronger the resentment, the stronger the puppet. A living person can also be directly transformed into a resentment puppet!)]

"S-rank, fourth order..."

Looking at the information prompts on the panel, Lin Chuan's mind stirred slightly.

This so-called "puppet master" is more than one level stronger than Ning Shou.
