The organization I founded has been exposed by the reborn!

Inside the desolate and lifeless abandoned building, Su Yu walked slowly forward.

Through that brief first exchange, he had gained a clear understanding of his current combat strength and the domineering functions of the "Book of Mysterious Records".

With the attribute bonuses from the basic Golden Light Spell, it's a one-sided annihilation against these low-level ghost servants.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze passing over the dimly lit corridor to the pitch-black staircase at the end of the corridor, which seemed to lead to the abyss of hell.

Ghost slaves are usually not too far from the source.

Su Yu guessed that the F-level core ghost exuding a domain aura must be entrenched in an upper area of ​​this building.

"Since we're here, we should at least go up and take a look."

With a calm expression, Su Yu took firm steps and walked into the pitch-black darkness.

Following the rough cement stairs, Su Yu arrived at the second floor.

The view from the second floor was even darker than from the first floor. Since the outer curtain wall had not yet been fitted with glass, gusts of wind howled through, producing a sound like a woman crying.

Su Yu's body was covered with a faint golden light, like a human-shaped lantern, illuminating an area of ​​five or six meters around him.

He searched carefully.

Apart from the construction debris scattered all over the floor and a few rusty steel bars, the second floor was completely empty, devoid of any living creatures or traces of any other ghost servants.

Without stopping, he continued up the stairs.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The steady footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, sounding particularly eerie.

Just as Su Yu's foot touched the ground on the third floor...

"call--"

A chilling wind, several times stronger than that on the first floor, suddenly rushed towards us.

Along with it came a nauseating, pungent stench, like a piece of raw meat left to bake in the summer sun for three days and three nights, so pungent it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.

Su Yu frowned slightly and held his breath.

at the same time.

"Waaaaah..."

A faint, hoarse whimper, as if the vocal cords had been rubbed by sandpaper, suddenly came from the depths of the dark corridor ahead.

Su Yu stopped in his tracks, his gaze piercing through the darkness.

Behind a load-bearing pillar a dozen meters away, a blurry figure was facing away from him, its body twitching and heaving as if struggling in pain.

If it were an ordinary person, they might subconsciously move closer to check.

But Su Yu did not make a move; he keenly sensed the dense aura of death emanating from the other party.

This is clearly not a living person.

"Let me see who you are!"

With a thought, Su Yu directly opened the "Book of Strange Things".

The pages of the book are turned.

A sketch with a pale, ashen face and nails as black as ink appeared on the paper.

【Name: Demon Corpse (Humanoid Demon Servant)】

[Level: Unacceptable]

【ability:】

[1. Bone-Corroding Corpse Poison (Passive): Its blackened nails and teeth contain a high concentration of a bizarre toxin. Once it scratches its prey's skin, the toxin quickly paralyzes the prey's nerves and dissolves the muscle tissue near the wound within 5 minutes, ultimately assimilating it into a new ghost corpse.]

[2. Rigorous Iron Bones (Passive): An eerie aura completely alters its bone density, and its skin takes on a hardened, deathly gray color, resembling an iron zombie draped in human skin.]

[Fatal weakness: Damage to the cervical spine's nerve hubs or direct destruction of the brain; extreme fear of fire or yang energy.]

[Description: These are vengeful spirits, transformed from ordinary humans consumed by a sinister aura in their despair and fear. They not only retain their human form but also occasionally mimic the cries for help before death to lure their prey. They are the favorite playthings of vengeful ghosts and the first physical barrier preventing the living from escaping hell.]

The moment Su Yu finished reading the message.

The figure in front of him, who had been "wailing" with his back turned, seemed to realize that his prey had not taken the bait.

The cries for help abruptly stopped.

The next second, the figure slowly turned around.

Using the dim light around him, Su Yu was able to make out its appearance.

It was a man wearing work clothes covered in mud. Judging from his attire, he must have been a construction worker in this building.

But at this moment, his skin was a lifeless, deathly gray, and his face was covered with deep purple lividity.

Even more terrifying, his eyes had turned completely white, his mouth was torn open, revealing blackened teeth and ten long, sharp fingernails that looked like black daggers.

"Click click click..."

The ghostly corpse twisted its stiff neck, making a chilling sound of bones grinding together.

Then, its pale pupils stared intently at Su Yu, and it opened its foul-smelling mouth, letting out a chilling screech.

"Bang!"

The ghost corpse stomped its legs hard against the ground.

Its stiff body burst forth with an astonishing speed that defied all reason, like a hungry wolf that had spotted prey, rushing straight towards Su Yu with a chilling gust of wind.

Ten jet-black, sharp fingernails drew five afterimages in mid-air, pointing directly at Su Yu's throat!

Faced with such a fierce attack, Su Yu's eyes remained cold, and he did not choose to retreat.

"Stiff-necked Iron Bones?"

"Then let's see if your bones are harder, or my fists are harder."

Su Yu stomped his foot hard, advancing instead of retreating!

"Buzz—"

The golden light covering his body suddenly intensified, as if a blazing sun had been lit in the darkness.

The intense, yang energy instantly swept out, causing the approaching ghost corpse to let out a painful wail, and its movements inevitably slowed down by a fraction.

That slight pause determined life or death.

Su Yu's right arm muscles tensed instantly, and all his strength was concentrated in his right fist.

A punch was thrown!

Golden light flowed across the surface of his fist, carrying an overwhelming force, and he struck the ghost corpse's arms, which were crossed in front of its chest, with perfect accuracy.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound of bones breaking echoed on the empty third floor.

The "Iron Bones" that the ghost corpse was so proud of were as fragile as rotten wood under Su Yu's full-force attack imbued with the Golden Light Curse.

Its jet-black arms were instantly blasted off and twisted.

Su Yu's fist, still powerful, pierced through its defenses and landed heavily on its chest.

"Bang--!"

A dull, loud thud was heard.

The ghost corpse's ashen chest was smashed open, creating a huge dent. The violent force sent its entire body flying backward, crashing heavily into a supporting pillar behind it before sliding to the ground like a lump of mud.

The ghost corpse's hard body twitched twice, then remained still.

[Ding! Ghost Corpse (Ghost Servant) successfully defeated!]

[Organization Experience Points +15! (Current Progress: 75/200)]

Hearing the notification in his mind, Su Yu shook the dust off his fist, his expression remaining calm.

He stepped forward and pointed the "Book of Strange Things" at the corpse on the ground.

"Included".

The bloodshot eyes on the cover opened again.

A flash of red light, and the ghostly corpse on the ground was instantly pulled into the pages of the book, transforming into a colorful illustration.

[Ding! Successfully added a ghost corpse!]

[Passive triggered: Ability stripping!]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully stripped the Ghost Corpse of its core ability—Iron Bones of Corpse Stiffness!]

[Stiff Bones: The host's bone density and muscle fibers will undergo extraordinary restructuring, permanently and significantly enhancing physical defense, making them virtually invulnerable to ordinary swords and blades.]

As the system notification tone faded.

Su Yu felt a cool energy surge into his limbs and bones.

He could clearly sense that his bones had become denser and heavier, and although his skin had not changed color, it had gained an invisible, resilient texture.

With a constitution already as high as 68 points, the passive effect of [Corpse Iron Bones] further enhances the ability to withstand attacks.

"That's a pretty good defensive capability."

Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Although the abilities stripped away were all low-level skills of the ghost servants, they added up little by little.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. As long as he kills the ghost servants, his combat power will eventually achieve a qualitative leap.

As Su Yu put away the illustration, the golden light on his body subsided slightly.

He stood in the middle of the third-floor corridor, his gaze sweeping across the dark, deep rooms around him, before finally settling on the stairwell leading to the fourth floor.

Two ghost servants have already appeared in this building, which means he is getting closer and closer to the core vengeful ghost.

There was no stopping.

Su Yu turned around, facing the chilling aura, and continued walking into the deeper darkness...
