Underworld entries, starting with ghost stories.

The lonely moon gradually hung on the treetops.

The newly filled and poorly compacted soil and rocks vibrated upwards with a thud.

The crow that had landed on the eaves of the dilapidated temple cawed and took flight, flapping its wings and fleeing into the distance.

The soil trembled a few times, then stopped moving.

Suddenly, Wu Qing sat up straight.

He tilted his head and looked down at himself sitting in the soil.

Most of the body was still in the ground, and the soil and rocks had not been disturbed, but he sat up like a ghost.

He straightened his head with both hands.

His head tilted to the other side again.

He easily climbed out of the dirt.

After climbing out, its limbs sank, leaving marks on the soil and rocks.

He looked thoughtfully at the entry hanging on his body and found the explanation related to it.

【"I died so tragically!": Passive stat. Upon death, this triggers the Corpse Demon duality, transforming the user into a ghostly state where they can freely switch between living zombies and spirits, and automatically triggering a resurrection quest.】

The ghost story "Shiki Duality" can last for three days. If the person fails to revive within that time, they will lose their ghost story status and die completely.

[Resurrection Ritual: While shouting "I died so tragically!", the host writes three "tragedy" characters on the thigh of the murderer who killed the host with their own blood! (The host's resentment after death will automatically pinpoint the murderer's location!)]

[Note 1: Ghosts cannot appear in sunlight.]

[Note 2: The duration of the zombie state may be shortened due to factors such as excessively hot weather or further damage to the corpse.]

Wu Qing tilted his head to the other side again.

The broken neck bone made it impossible for him to straighten his head, but the flesh of the corpse moved quite easily, and he felt no pain at all.

Bad news: I'm dead!

Good news: He didn't die completely; he became a zombie!

Wu Qing got up and looked out of the mountain.

A wisp of black energy emanated from his body and flowed in that direction.

So he knew that the beautiful girl who killed him was in that direction.

He took a few steps and felt that his joints were not very flexible.

When you jump forward with your legs straight, you can jump a distance that you would never normally be able to jump, but the landing is very heavy, leaving one crater after another.

He tried to transform into a ghostly state.

The clear moonlight pierced through his body and fell to the ground, turning him into an ethereal black shadow.

He floated up gently, drifting forward without his feet touching the ground.

He even walked straight through a tree without any hindrance.

This ghost form is actually quite convenient!

He moved his head again, but still couldn't straighten it, and it tilted to the other side.

It seems that no matter what state one was in when they died, their ghostly state remains the same.

While the Yin Ghost state allows it to float and move through physical spaces, it is very slow.

The mountain wind blew in his face, and despite his efforts to move forward, he was still blown backward.

Left with no other choice, he had to switch back to his living, stiff state and jump forward with all his might.

He raised his hand and poked the stab hole in his throat, sticking his fingers inside and feeling the trachea that had been cut open.

This is bad; we need to speak during the resurrection mission.

In the dim light of the night, Wu Qing tried to move the flesh in his throat, producing a hoarse sound like a knife scraping stone: "I...died...so tragically...ah..."

The sound, mixed with the rustling of scattered leaves in the wind, was chilling.

He shuddered in fright, and even his stiff leg joints became much more agile as he fled at lightning speed.

How terrifying...

The girl took a nice hot bath.

She returned to the city and leisurely took a bath in her own large garden.

The bathtub was large, with bright red roses floating on the surface of the water. The air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood and flowers, creating a refreshing and pleasant atmosphere.

Although this was her first time killing someone, her mood was not affected at all.

After all, when it comes to upholding justice, killing evildoers is sometimes unavoidable.

Moreover, the sect has said that there must be a first time for everything. Only by truly killing someone can one act more swiftly and decisively when encountering even more vicious enemies in the future.

He recalled the pitiful state of that little thief at the last moment, as he faced his own sword.

She burst out laughing.

Did he think that by putting on that pitiful act, he would be let off the hook?

If you're so afraid of death, why become a bandit?

Kong Fengjiao got up and, with the help of her maid, put on a "joyful smile" bellyband and a clean white jacket and trousers.

After entering the bedroom, I lay on the fragrant couch covered with tricolor brocade and read a book for a while by the light of the octagonal crystal lamp with built-in honey candles.

The books that recorded various legendary stories of ancient female swordswomen captivated her.

She smiled slightly, as if she had become a female knight-errant whose sword shone brightly across nineteen provinces, saving the world with her sword and accomplishing a world-shaking feat.

At the same time.

A dark figure silently slipped through the high wall surrounding the large garden.

This was Wu Qing's first time entering a city since he transmigrated to this world.

As a refugee, without a travel permit, he couldn't even enter the city gate.

After transforming into a ghost, it simply passed through the city wall.

Following the direction of the flowing resentment, one enters the garden and sees waterside pavilions, jade towers, and covered bridges, which, under the moonlight, resemble a beautiful painting, a sight to behold.

After being displaced for more than half a year, arriving here felt like stepping into another world.

Is this the classic case of "the rich feasting on meat and wine while the poor freeze to death on the streets"?

"Who? Who's there?" The sudden shout startled him.

He shrank into the artificial hill and disappeared.

Two martial arts guards approached, looking around. One of them said, "Are you seeing things? There's no one there."

"I clearly saw a strange thing with a crooked neck," the other person said, shuddering. "How could it just disappear like that? It was like seeing a ghost!"

"What ghosts are there in this world? I've never seen a real ghost in my entire life," the man mocked. "And you, who know martial arts, are afraid of ghosts?"

The two searched the area but found nothing.

He then carried a lantern, with a knife at his waist, and went into the distance.

Wu Qing emerged from the artificial hill and looked at the backs of the two people.

He wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but his ghostly state made him feel ethereal and he couldn't exhale at all.

I'm such a ghost now, why was I scared by those two people?

He shook his head and drifted deeper into the garden, where pavilions and terraces were scattered and flowers stretched endlessly.

Wu Qing stopped in front of the four-cornered, pyramidal pavilion and looked up.

He sensed that the girl who killed him lived here.

The crescent moon moved high in the sky, and the night sky was sparsely populated with stars.

There is a small pond next to the building, and a stone pavilion stands beside the pond.

Wu Qing floated up and flew directly over the wall.

Not long after, he slowly emerged from the second-floor floor.

By the candlelight spilling from the octagonal crystal chandelier, I looked at the bed covered with tricolor brocade in front of me.

Wu Qing used his hands to support himself on the floor and slowly lifted his body up.

Then, without touching the ground, it floated towards the fragrant couch.

Soon, he floated to the side of the fragrant couch, tilted his head, and looked at the sleeping girl.

He wanted to write three "miserable" characters on the girl's thigh!
