I started on a rocking horse and relied on watching ads to dominate the highway survival charts.

He stood on a lotus platform with two wheels under his feet, holding a long spear in one hand and a golden ring with cloud patterns in the other. A red silk ribbon was wrapped around his shoulder and then fluttered slightly in the wind.

A man with three heads and six arms, a woman's appearance, and a red mark between his eyebrows—his divine nature was almost overflowing.

It was none other than the Great God of the Three Altars and the Sea Gathering, Nezha with the Red Flower Double Sticks of Chentang Pass.

Huo Yunzhi felt a pain between her eyebrows, and the pain in her arm intensified, making it almost impossible for her to hold the incense sticks firmly.

In the depths of her soul, a voice seemed to be asking her questions.

who are you?

Who are you!

"who I am?"

"I am……"

In an instant, countless sealed memories broke free of their shackles and reappeared in Huo Yunzhi's mind.

She is neither an elderly person nearing the end of her life, nor a child going to cram school, nor a young person working hard but achieving nothing.

She is Huo Yunzhi, the number one player on the 888th region leaderboard in the road survival game!

The sound of firecrackers stopped abruptly, the drumsticks hung in mid-air, and the entire palanquin seemed to be frozen in place as if a pause button had been pressed.

Immediately afterwards, grayish-white smoke rose slowly, and the devout believers on both sides and all objects in sight slowed down to an extreme, until they came to a standstill.

Amidst the smoke of battle, the statue seemed to come alive, gently curving its lips into a smile at Huo Yunzhi.

Then, a blooming lotus flower slowly hovered in mid-air, and several petals fell to the ground and turned into butterflies.

"So that's how it is... This isn't the real world, but the domain of that forgotten ghost."

Huo Yunzhi's mind stirred slightly, and she touched her brow to summon the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

The red lotus spun in mid-air, approaching the lotus flower.

The instant the lotus was absorbed by the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus instantly burst into flames, burning away all the surrounding ashes.

The scattered ashes tore and gnawed in all directions, like a wildfire aided by a spring breeze.

Wherever the firelight passed, the gray world gradually turned black and then peeled away, until the nothingness hidden behind it was revealed.

When all the gloom disappeared, two figures appeared in the distance.

One of them held an old clock in its hands, while the other's forehead was bare, as if something had cut it open from between his eyebrows.

Their facial features were identical, and their two pairs of white pupils were staring intently at Huo Yunzhi.

"They're twin vengeful ghosts. No wonder!" Huo Yunzhi called back the Karmic Fire Red Lotus: "No wonder she forgot everything after being pulled in."

These two ghosts are the final bosses of the entire Qiao Family Mansion instance.

The Clock Ghost repeatedly resets the Qiao Family Mansion, evolving its ghostly abilities with each reset.

The Forgotten Ghost erases the existence of one teammate in each reset.

"What a hellish mechanism."

Not to mention being hidden in such a gloomy place, if it weren't for the resonance between the Karmic Fire Red Lotus and the statue in the realm of vengeful ghosts that awakened her, Huo Yunzhi herself would probably have sunk into this desolate world.

"Hiss—hiss—"

As if they had discovered that Huo Yunzhi had broken free from the domain of the vengeful spirits, the two vengeful spirits began to emit piercing noises.

At the same time, large clumps of gray smoke, carrying an aura of despair, surged in from all directions, threatening to engulf Huo Yunzhi once again.

This scene made Huo Yunzhi laugh.

Once outside the mechanisms of the underworld, the attack methods of these two vengeful ghosts are simply ridiculous.

She summoned the safe zone, expanding it to its maximum extent to firmly protect herself within it.

With the added protection of the safe zone, the fog couldn't get even a fraction closer to Huo Yunzhi.

[Contamination detected. Should we activate purification mode?]

"Purify!"

Huo Yunzhi silently chanted the mantra, and a red light surged from her hand with overwhelming force, instantly dispelling most of the fog outside the circle.

[Current karma value: 50...100...150...]

Just as Huo Yunzhi was immersed in the joy of replenishing her karma value.

She suddenly realized... the distance between the two vengeful ghosts... seemed to have gotten a little closer.

"Instead of running away, will you actively approach me?"

Huo Yunzhi transformed the karma she had just accumulated into a raging inferno and poured it into the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

"With the ghost messengers here, how dare you act so presumptuously!"

"boom!"

The raging crimson flames instantly turned this void into a living hell.

Huo Yunzhi coldly watched as the Clock Ghost and the Forgotten Ghost howled and writhed in agony under the scorching heat of the karmic fire.

When the last wisp of mist was purified, her accumulated karma value reached 500.

At this moment, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus underwent a change.

The golden patterns on its lotus petals became more numerous, and the stamen part gradually lengthened, turning into a spearhead with golden runes. The base part even transformed into a pole nearly two meters long.

Huo Yunzhi was overjoyed and raised her hand to grasp the long pole. She simply swung it twice, creating a sea of ​​fire.

She adjusted her gaze to the Crimson Lotus Firearm for a moment, then turned her attention back to the charred twin demons.

Their presence had become extremely weak, and they were only about as weak as the faceless demons on the highway.

Huo Yunzhi exhaled a breath of stale air and used the whirlwind generated by the flames around her to leap into the air.

She remembers.

She remembers everything.

Miao Miao fights against the clone alone, Qin Yuanshan leaves behind a paper doll to imprison the ghost blocking the way, and Xu Xiuhe exchanges her life for the ghost.

There's also Shen Chilie, who always rushed to the front to clear the way for everyone; Wen Zhaoye, who cracked the most ghost mechanisms; and Su Anning, who provided various small assistance to the Grandmaster.

"I... will never forget!"

No matter where you are or where you are going.

Behind Huo Yunzhi, a radiant light shone like the blazing sun, and the Crimson Lotus Fire Spear, brimming with power yet to be unleashed, trembled wildly in her hand.

She slowly raised her gun and aimed it at the vengeful ghost below.

Give them to me...

With a deafening roar, the Crimson Lotus Musket flew from his hand: "Give it back!"

Before the two vengeful ghosts could even utter a wail, they were reduced to dust by the overwhelming force.

"boom!!"

Seconds later, the twin vengeful spirits were completely annihilated by the attack of the Crimson Lotus Fire Spear.

"Pat-pat, pat-pat—"

Gray rain began to fall from the sky.

Huo Yunzhi reached out to catch it, only to find that it wasn't rain, but rather these voids dissolving and dissipating.

They bypassed her and sank into the dark ground, disappearing from sight.

Huo Yunzhi stood quietly in place, holding the Red Lotus Fire Spear, until the gray rain stopped, and only then did the scene before her begin to change.

This was a gloomy old house. A pale blue light curtain separated a small area, which also interrupted Huo Yunzhi's senses.

There was no one else there except her.

Huo Yunzhi stood there silently.

She had already killed the twin vengeful spirits.

She had clearly broken the vengeful spirit mechanism.

Have they... still not come back?

Huo Yunzhi felt a surge of frustration.

Until a few minutes later...

The faint white light grew brighter and brighter in less than half a minute.

A few breaths later, the white light dissipated, and a man in a bespoke suit appeared before Huo Yunzhi.

His gentle voice, tinged with amusement, rang in Huo Yunzhi's ears.

"You always manage to surprise people."
