The organization I founded has been exposed by the reborn!

A black SUV sped through the empty streets of Yanjing City.

Su Yu gripped the steering wheel with one hand, his gaze calmly fixed on the road ahead.

On his retina, a coordinate point emitting a faint yellow light was constantly flashing; that was the location of the vengeful ghost.

As the distance decreased, the surrounding environment became increasingly remote.

"Creak—"

The SUV stopped in front of a construction site enclosed by tall metal fences.

Su Yu pushed open the car door and got out, looking up at the scene.

What appeared before him was a skyscraper that was only half-built.

The main structure of the building is complete, standing silently in the shadows of the backlit building, like a giant steel skeleton lurking on the edge of the city.

"So it's here..."

Su Yu recognized the place. This was the Qin's Innovation Center building, a new landmark in Yanjing that the Qin Group was investing billions of yuan to build.

The Qin Group is undoubtedly one of the top-ranking behemoths in Yanjing.

However, for some unknown reason, the building was suddenly suspended indefinitely recently, leading to various speculations. Some say the funding chain has broken down, while others say that something unclean has been unearthed there.

In retrospect, the rumors may not have been entirely unfounded.

"That unknown monster should be hiding in this building."

Su Yu closed the car door behind him and strode towards the gate.

As soon as I stepped through the makeshift wooden door on the ground floor of the building, a thick, eerie wind rushed towards me.

The wind was bone-chillingly cold, unlike the air currents of nature. It felt more like the chill that had been sealed in a morgue for over a decade, carrying a faint, pungent stench that seeped into the bones through the pores of the skin.

Su Yu paused slightly in his steps.

The moment he stepped into this area, the world around him seemed to be abruptly cut off by some invisible barrier.

The sounds of traffic and wind outside completely disappeared, replaced by a deathly silence that made one's eardrums tighten.

Immediately afterwards, a blinding red light flashed on my retina!

【warn!warn! 】

[The host has entered the 'Ghost Realm'!]

[Core energy fluctuations detected in the area, speculated to be: an F-level vengeful spirit!]

Upon seeing the system's notification, a hint of shock flashed deep in Su Yu's eyes.

"Ghostland?"

From the knowledge previously imparted by the system, Su Yu was very clear about the weight of these two words.

The so-called ghost realm is an independent space governed by laws that vengeful ghosts forcibly distort or even carve out in the real world using their own energy.

In the realm of ghosts, this vengeful spirit is the absolute ruler.

Normally, only high-level vengeful spirits are qualified to open the ghost realm.

And this thing before us... it's merely a low-level F-rank vengeful ghost, yet it has already given birth to a ghost realm?!

"It seems that this vengeful ghost that arrived ahead of schedule is somewhat special." Su Yu did not feel fear; instead, his heart beat slightly faster, the kind of excitement a hunter feels when he sees his perfect prey.

After all, if he could capture this vengeful ghost, he could also unlock the domain's abilities.

Su Yu slowed his breathing, began to carefully survey his surroundings, and continued to move forward.

The interior of the unfinished building was dark and without a single light.

The unwindowed concrete frame resembled a series of dark holes through which the wind passed, producing a sound like a woman's low sobbing.

Scattered on the ground were jumbled steel bars and cement blocks, which, in the dim light, looked like menacing, severed limbs.

The environment was so oppressive that an ordinary person would probably have had a mental breakdown long ago.

But Su Yu walked with unusually steady steps.

His physical body, greatly modified by the Golden Light Mantra, gave him senses far beyond those of ordinary people.

His physical constitution of 68 points and mental strength of 82 points granted him powerful night vision. What is pitch black to ordinary people is, in his eyes, somewhat dim, but he can see clearly the scenery within ten meters around him.

Just as Su Yu was walking down the corridor and about to approach an abandoned safety passage...

"Gurgle..."

A low growl, like the sound of phlegm stuck in the throat or the roar of a wild animal guarding its food, suddenly came from the shadows of the room ahead!

Su Yu stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.

From the depths of darkness ahead, a repulsive monster slowly crawled out.

The creature was similar in size to an adult Tibetan Mastiff, but it had no fur at all.

Its entire body was covered with rotten, blackened pieces of flesh, and in some places, even the stark white bones and pulsating dark red organs were exposed.

Its mouth stretched to its ears, and foul-smelling black saliva dripped continuously from between its jagged, sharp teeth.

"Is this... a vengeful ghost?"

Su Yu frowned slightly. Although this thing was disgusting, it didn't seem to be quite the same as a vengeful ghost.

A thought crossed my mind.

The thick, bizarre book with a cover featuring a blood-red eyeball appeared out of thin air in his left hand.

The pages rustled automatically, eventually settling on page 2.

On the page, a lifelike sketch of the monster immediately appeared, accompanied by dense, blood-red text explaining its appearance.

[Name: Ghoul (dog-shaped ghost slave)]

[Ability: Corpse Frenzy: Completely immune to pain interference; muscle strength can reach three times that of an average adult dog during a burst of power.]

[Weaknesses: Possesses a physical body; destroying its central nervous system (i.e., a headshot) can result in physical death; extremely vulnerable to the most yang and intense energy.]

[Description: It is not a true monster, but rather a mutated monster formed from stray dogs in the real world after being infected by an eerie aura. They are the most loyal scouts and scavengers of vengeful spirits, completely devoid of intelligence, driven only by their bloodlust and the power of the vengeful spirits.]

After reading the information on the panel, Su Yu suddenly realized.

"So this is what a ghost slave is."

He had learned about this concept during his previous communication with the system.

True vengeful spirits are immortal, and modern weapons are useless against them.

However, when the bizarre becomes reality, the terrifying aura emanating from them will, like radiation, pollute and mutate the surrounding creatures.

These alienated creatures will be reduced to mindless "ghost slaves".

Don't underestimate them just because they can be physically killed.

It's important to understand that, under the influence of strange forces, these monsters have long since defied the laws of biology.

Fearless of death, and possessing boundless strength!

"roar--!"

Seemingly sensing the life force of the living, the ghoul suddenly raised its rotting head.

Those unfocused, deathly gray eyes were fixed on Su Yu.

next second!

With a piercing roar, the ghoul's powerful hind legs slammed into the ground, cracking the concrete beneath.

Its massive, rotting body was like a cannonball fired from a gun, bringing with it a nauseating stench, and lunged straight at Su Yu's face!

Faced with this visually striking and terrifying attack, Su Yu stood still, not even moving an inch.

His expression remained completely calm, his mind as still as a stagnant pool.

A slight thought.

"The profound origin of heaven and earth, the root of all vital energy."

Su Yu silently recited a spell in his mind.

Om-!

In an instant, a dazzling, brilliant, and supremely powerful golden light burst forth from Su Yu's body!

Golden Qi quickly condensed on his body surface, transforming into a thin, almost tangible golden film that completely enveloped him.

Golden Light Curse!

In that instant when the golden light shone, a rare glint of instinctive fear flashed in the deathly gray eyes of the ghoul that was pouncing in mid-air.

When its rotting flesh came into contact with the intense yang energy emanating from the golden light, it actually emitted a sizzling sound and billowed out black smoke!

But it was all too late.

Su Yu simply turned slightly to the side, his movements swift and clean, easily avoiding the ghoul's fangs, which were infused with corpse poison.

at the same time.

His left hand, covered in dazzling gold light, suddenly clenched into a fist.

Look back, and dig!

With a terrifying physique of 68 points, combined with the domineering and unparalleled physical amplification of the Golden Light Mantra, Su Yu's punch seemed to possess the terrifying power to smash through a steel plate!

The fist tore through the air, creating a sonic boom!

"Bang!"

A dull, grating bang echoed through the stairwell.

Su Yu's left fist landed precisely on the side of the ghoul's rotting head.

The next moment, it was like a hammer hitting a ripe watermelon.

The ghoul's enormous head exploded under Su Yu's terrifying power!

Black, foul blood mixed with bone fragments splattered everywhere, but it was firmly blocked by the golden light on Su Yu's body, preventing it from staining his clothes in the slightest.

"thump."

The headless ghoul crashed heavily to the ground, its massive body twitching a few times before it completely lost its life.

Sold out instantly.

Instant kill!

This is Su Yu's current combat strength, possessing an absolute dimensional reduction advantage against ordinary mutated monsters.

Su Yu slowly withdrew his left fist, looked at the headless corpse on the ground, and adjusted his breathing slightly.

This was also his first battle.

It went very smoothly; the power of the Golden Light Mantra was even more domineering than he had anticipated.

The basic defensive form that merely covers the body surface can provide such a terrifying boost to both offense and defense.

If, with future upgrades, higher-level abilities of the Golden Light Mantra such as "Transforming Qi into Form" and "Emitting Golden Light" are unlocked, then combat power will definitely increase exponentially.

Just then, a crisp system notification sounded in my mind.

[Ding! Ghoul (Ghoul Slave) successfully killed!]

[Organization Experience Points +10! (Current Progress: 60/200)]

Hearing the notification in his mind, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Yu's eyes, followed by a slight upturn of his lips.

"Killing these monsters that have been assimilated by the bizarre can actually earn you organization experience points."

This was an unexpected and delightful surprise for him.

He had previously thought that upgrading "Dawn" to level 2 would be a long process, and if he could only accumulate experience by completing specific tasks occasionally issued by the system, the development speed would be too slow.

And now, this discovery perfectly solves his current pain point.

"Since I can gain experience directly by killing monsters, the speed at which I level up is entirely in my own hands."

As long as the organization can quickly reach level 2, the system can unlock more core functions, which is the fundamental guarantee for his future organization building.

Su Yu withdrew his gaze from the void and returned it to the "Book of Strange Things" in his hand.

Aside from being a picture book, the most bizarre thing about this book is its ability to contain and deprive people!

Su Yu held the ancient book and pointed it at the corpse of the ghoul on the ground.

"Included".

The voice just fell.

On the cover of the "Book of Strange Things," the eerie blood-red eyeball seemed to suddenly come to life and snapped open!

A dark red light shot out from the pages of the book, directly enveloping the ghoul corpse on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the enormous corpse melted rapidly, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, turning into a pool of black, viscous liquid. Then, it was forcibly pulled into the pages of the book by a tremendous suction force.

In just two seconds, apart from a small black stain, there were no other traces left on the ground.

at the same time.

On page 2 of the "Book of Strange Things," the ghoul illustration, which was originally just a gray sketch, suddenly lit up and turned into a brightly colored illustration!

[Ding! Successfully added a crippled creature (ghoul)!]

[Passive triggered: Ability stripping!]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully stripped the ghoul of its ability—Zombie Frenzy!]

[Zombie Frenzy: Upon activation, it temporarily blocks pain receptors, causing muscle strength to surge more than three times its original level for a short period! Note: Some degree of muscle soreness and weakness may occur after use.]

Feeling the strange power that suddenly appeared within his body, Su Yu's eyes brightened slightly.

Although what was taken away was only a mediocre ability.

But that [Corpse Frenzy] combined with his [Golden Light Mantra] and 68 points of Constitution can definitely unleash terrifying burst damage in an instant!

Moreover, this is just the beginning.

As Su Yu collects more ghosts and monsters, he will unlock more abilities.

At that time, our combat strength will gradually increase.
