The organization I founded has been exposed by the reborn!

A chilling wind blew through the empty, dark stairwell.

Su Yu climbed the stairs step by step to the fourth floor.

As soon as Su Yu stepped into the area of ​​this floor, his spirits lifted.

The surrounding air seemed to thicken, the temperature plummeted, and the eerie, oppressive feeling was several times stronger than the combined feeling of the floors below.

Even the golden light emanating from his body was suppressed and swayed slightly under this invisible, chilling aura.

"That vengeful ghost should be on this floor."

Su Yu immediately made a judgment in his mind, and his expression became more and more cautious.

To avoid alerting the enemy by making his figure too conspicuous in the darkness, he subtly reduced the golden light flowing over his body to its lowest level.

The dazzling golden light instantly disappeared beneath the skin, leaving only the core physical defense.

Without the light source, the fourth-floor corridor appeared even darker and deeper.

Su Yu moved with light steps, like a nimble cat stealthily moving through the night, groping his way forward along the cold concrete wall.

After walking a few steps, Su Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Not far ahead, in a corner filled with abandoned scaffolding, there was actually a living person hiding!

That was a girl.

She was curled up in a ball, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.

Even in such a disheveled situation, her outstanding temperament could not be concealed.

The girl wore a white hard hat with the words "Qin's Construction" printed on it and a well-tailored black suit. At the hem of the suit, her long, slender legs, encased in black stockings, were tightly curled up in fear.

The dim light swept across her profile, revealing her delicate and well-defined features, fair skin, and an air of aloofness and nobility befitting someone long accustomed to a position of power.

"This woman..."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, feeling that the girl looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

He only needed two seconds to search his mind before he recognized the name.

Qin Xinran.

The only daughter of Qin Hongtu, the current chairman of the Qin Group, is also the original person in charge of this unfinished building.

Su Yu had seen her interview in financial news before; she was known as the famous "ice queen" female CEO in Beijing's business circles.

"How did she get here?" Su Yu wondered.

Just then, Qin Xinran, who was hiding in the corner, also noticed the commotion.

She looked up abruptly like a startled bird, and when she saw a living person appear in the darkness, a strong will to survive instantly erupted in her previously despairing, gloomy eyes.

But to Su Yu's surprise...

Qin Xinran did not scream or cry for help like most women would.

She bit her pale lips hard, and with trembling hands raised one hand, placing a slender index finger to her lips.

"Shh..."

She gestured for Su Yu to be quiet. At the same time, her terrified gaze kept darting towards the darkness at the end of the corridor.

"Mute?"

Su Yu keenly noticed this detail, "Could it be that the vengeful ghost's killing pattern... is related to sound?"

Thinking of this possibility, Su Yu remained silent, following Qin Xinran's fearful gaze as she looked into the darkness ahead.

At the end of the corridor ahead was a spacious, unfinished, single-level apartment.

Several corpses lay haphazardly on the cement slabs of the ground.

Judging from their attire, they are likely bodyguards or exploration personnel from the Qin Group.

The deaths of these individuals were particularly gruesome; not only were they disemboweled, but their throats were also torn apart by something, as if they had made some kind of fatal sound before they died.

And right above those corpses.

A pair of scarlet eyes, radiating intense resentment and deathly stillness, appeared eerily in the darkness.

Followed by.

A female ghost figure, dressed in tattered white clothes and with long, flowing hair, floated out of nothingness without warning.

Its feet didn't touch the ground; it hovered quietly in mid-air. Its entire body emanated a terrifying, chilling aura capable of freezing one's bones.

It has no facial features; its face is just a gaping maw that splits open to its ears, with bits of crimson flesh hanging from the corners of its mouth.

Su Yu stared at the white-clad female ghost, preparing to pull up the "Book of Strange Things" to examine its detailed patterns.

suddenly!

"Click."

A very faint, crisp sound suddenly rang out in the deathly silent corridor.

Su Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

He looked down and realized that he had accidentally crushed a piece of hollow cement when he moved his foot.

Although the sound was soft, it was clearly audible in the quiet environment.

Oops!

Hearing the sharp sound, Qin Xinran, who was huddled in the corner, suddenly had her pupils shrink to the size of pinpoints. Her beautiful eyes instantly filled with despair, and she subconsciously covered her eyes tightly with both hands.

It’s over.

She had witnessed it several times in the past few hours; as soon as a sound was made, the monster would instantly appear in front of the person making the sound and cruelly tear their body apart.

She could already imagine that the young man in front of her would suffer the same miserable fate as everyone else in the next second.

as predicted.

Just one tenth of a second after the crisp sound was made!

A bizarre and terrifying scene unfolded.

The white-clad female ghost, several dozen meters away, flickered violently like the static on an old television screen.

"Whoosh!"

It ignored the distance in space and teleported directly in front of Su Yu!

A biting cold wind, carrying with it a strong stench of corpses, swept over us.

The female ghost's claws, covered in bluish-black lividity and with sharp, knife-like nails, whistled through the air as they aimed straight for Su Yu's throat!

too fast!

This kind of teleportation attack, which defies the laws of physics, would leave even the most trained special forces soldiers with absolutely no time to react.

However, Su Yu is no ordinary person.

Just as the sharp claws were about to touch his Adam's apple.

"Buzz—Boom!"

The golden light spell that Su Yu had originally concealed under his skin instantly burst forth in full force!

The dazzling golden flames, like lava erupting from a volcano, shot into the sky, completely dispelling the darkness within a radius of several meters.

Moreover, the effects of [Corpse-Stiff Iron Bones] also boosted Su Yu's defense to its limit.

"Clang—Clang!"

A sharp, metallic clang exploded in the corridor, even creating a visible ripple in the air.

The female ghost's sharp claws, capable of easily tearing through bulletproof vests, gripped Su Yu's throat tightly.

However, apart from leaving a few faint ripples on the outermost layer of protective golden light, it couldn't even scratch Su Yu's skin in the slightest!

It's blocked!

With the help of his domineering Taoist incantation and his Corpse-Treating Iron Bones, Su Yu actually withstood the fatal blow from the F-level core vengeful ghost!

Using this recoil force.

Su Yu slammed his toes on the ground.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

With three extremely light and agile backward steps, his figure glided five or six meters away like a falling leaf, widening the distance between himself and the female ghost.

The instant your feet touch the ground.

Su Yu immediately lowered his body, held his breath, and stopped making a sound.

Dead silence.

The corridor fell into a deathly silence once again.

The white-clad female ghost, who had been so fierce just moments before, also mysteriously stopped in place after losing the guidance of the voice.

Its scarlet eyes scanned the air blankly. Even though it was standing less than a few meters away from Su Yu, it seemed to have become blind and could not "see" Su Yu, who was radiating golden light.

"really."

Su Yu narrowed his eyes.

It was exactly as he had predicted.

This vengeful ghost's killing pattern is based on "locating the source of sounds."

As long as you don't make a sound, even if you dance in front of it, it cannot attack you.

This also completely explains why Qin Xinran, an ordinary woman, was able to survive until now under the nose of this vengeful ghost.

Meanwhile, Qin Xinran, hiding behind the abandoned scaffolding in the corner, had her mind completely blank.

Just now, when that crisp metallic clang rang out, she thought the young man who had wandered into this place had been torn to pieces.

However, when she mustered up the courage to peek out through her fingers...

The scene that came into view made her stop breathing completely.

There was no bloody scene as expected. The seemingly frail young man was not only unharmed, but stood firmly a few meters away.

What she found even more incredible was that the young man's body was now covered with a dazzling, almost tangible golden light!

In this cold, desolate, and pitch-black corridor, the golden light exuded a sacred and majestic aura, like a protective spell from some mythical legend.

Qin Xinran covered her mouth tightly, her eyes wide open in extreme shock.

As an atheist with higher education, even after witnessing such a bloody massacre in the building today, she forced herself to comfort herself that it was just some unknown mutated beast.

But now, everything happening before her eyes has completely shattered her worldview of more than twenty years.

A white-clad female ghost who can teleport, a body that can withstand ghostly claws with its bare hands, and that dazzling golden light that completely defies modern physics...

She stared blankly at the figure shrouded in golden light in the darkness, her little head full of questions.

Who exactly is this person?

How could he possess such unscientific power?

Could it be that in this world... there have always been mysterious beings who are above mortals and specialize in hunting evil spirits in the dark?
