CH 15

A ring of black fingerprints suddenly appeared onto Zhou Yu’s neck.

Zhou Yu wanted to leave the hospital room as he felt a sudden chill breeze surround him. However, his limbs were still weak from his earlier struggle, and he could only lean on the hospital bed and inch away slowly.

That ghost was most definitely standing in front of him right now.

Of course he wants to get away from it as soon as possible!

The cold wind was still blowing through the room, throwing everything into a disorderly mess. Fortunately, Zhou Yu was sitting in the corner and the wind seems to be consciously avoiding him, that he was able to escape the same fate as the broken furniture.

Zhou Yu’s whole face was pale, even his lips were lacking in any color. His whole body felt weak and powerless. All he could do was to silently sit on the ground and wait for his imminent death.

Zhou Yu’s current appearance was incredibly pitiful. Anyone would feel their hearts’ ache if they saw the normally graceful and handsome-looking boy in this desperate state.

Or at least, Feng Xing felt his heart shatter at the sight of his beloved Senior.

I cradle this person gently in my palms, afraid to even touch this person, and someone dares to kill him!

Feng Xing was so angry that he couldn’t control his disguise anymore, revealing the frightening appearance of a fierce ghost.

Feng Xing loves Zhou Yu and didn’t want to show any of his ugliness to him. Even if Zhou Yu couldn’t see him, Feng Xing still maintains the delicate and pretty appearance he had before his death.

However, right now, looking at this puny little goblin ghost that dared to attack Senior when he was off tying up loose ends, caused Feng Xing to feel incredibly annoyed and worried.

Feng Xing’s face immediately morphed into something terrible. His eyes turned red, and his whole body was stained with blood. The black fog of resentment returned to enshroud his body. The originally delicate appearance became beautiful in a devilish way.

The goblin ghost trembled under the pressure and aura of the Ghost King.

“G-G-Ghost King! Mercy please! I deserve to die! This one is guilty and deserves to die! I am willing to collect the souls of a hundred virgins to atone to my crime!” It had been a long time since the Ghost King had appeared, even amongst the ghost-king, only a few knew what the Ghost King liked and disliked. The goblin ghost could only beg for mercy and offer the most stereotypical offerings, in hopes to please the Ghost King.

(Orange: I never got why the ancient people would say they deserve to die, but also beg to not be killed. Choose one please. And out Ghost King is only interested in one virgin  )

This goblin ghost was actually incredibly stupid and ignorant. He noticed that this human had a much stronger soul than most typical souls, so in a moment of greediness, left a mark on him. How did he know that this human had such a powerful backing! He was so unlucky to accidentally provoke the Ghost King!

His greed had lead him in front of a gun nuzzle!

The goblin ghost’s heart broke. He was such a puny little ghost that he couldn’t even make it into the ranking of a low-leveled ghost. He couldn’t even wait to hide from Ghost King, how could he dare to even steal the Ghost King’s prey. He was really looking to die!

Thus, in order to live, the goblin ghost did not hesitate in his offer.

After all, although the immortals had disappeared and the ghost-kind run rampant in the world, there was still too many Taoists in the world for even a Ghost King to easily get that many virgin souls.

Much less for a bottom feeder ghost like him.

However, Feng Xing’s anger did not lessen, instead he grew even more angry.

“He is not prey, you trash! He’s my- You must die!” Feng Xing’s angry face turned red for a while and then became incredibly violent.

He ignored the spirit’s pleas off mercy and began to torture the damned thing.

Zhou Yu waited patiently for his death for a long time. Instead, he felt his physical strength to recover and felt a dash of hope light up inside of him.

Who would want to die if they had a chance to live?

As his limbs recovered, he slowly pulled himself up with the help of the bed.

The hospitals of this era was not as developed as the hospitals were in the future. Or at least, there wasn’t any advanced paging equipment, so Zhou Yu could only walk towards the door of the room to call for a doctor. His neck was injured, so for a while he couldn’t make any noises.

The cold wind in the room strangely avoided Zhou Yu’s route, and there was a little gust of wind supporting Zhou Yu as if it was afraid that he would fall.

Zhou Yu could feel that there was a supernatural being around him, but because he didn’t have YinYang eyes, he couldn’t see anything. He could only pray that the being wasn’t there to kill him.

In a place where Zhou Yu could not see, a Ghost King was both, beating a ghost to death, and anxiously watching his beloved Senior, fearful that something might happen to him.

The goblin ghost had been beaten senseless, and finally he was torn into pieces and eaten by Feng Xing.

Even after eating the spirit, Feng Xing was still unhappy. Seeing the black fingerprints around Senior’s neck made him undeniably annoyed.

Ever since then, goblin ghosts had become the number one target on Feng Xing’s kill list. And many years later, the goblin ghost population in Z Country had been wiped out.

Yet, Feng Xing still blamed himself.

Obviously he had made the decision to protect Senior, but he had almost let Senior die in the hands of this trash.

Feng Xing’s eyes turned bloody red again, and the Ghost King’s annoyance turned into an invisible pressure that spread all across the city, causing all the ghost-kind in the city to feel uneasy and panicked.

The cold atmosphere of the room dissipated, and Zhou Yu finally reached the door of the hospital room.

“Is… anyone…there? I need…. help!” Zhou Yu used his hoarse voice to call for help. The voice was incredibly tiny and thin, causing Feng Xing’s already broken heart to shatter even more.

How could his beloved Senior be wronged like this?

Feng Xing turned into an invisible fog and enshrouded Zhou Yu, leaving a Ghost Kind’s mark on him.

Ever since Feng Xing became a fierce ghost, he automatically knew a lot of things. It was because he just died recently and wasn’t used to being a fierce ghost, that he forgot to make a mark, and which allowed that goblin ghost to mark Senior.

But now, it is all good.

Feng Xing, in his fog form, smiled, pleased to see that Zhou Yu was covered in his aura. Then he felt a little embarrassed and circled around Zhou Yu.

Finally, the nurse heard Zhou Yu and came. She was no longer the shape-shifting monster that the reincarnators in the Ghost Realm saw. Obviously, the nurse also did not know she had been changed into a monster in the Ghost Realm.

Earlier, she saw that Zhou Yu was still unconscious, so she went to look for other nurses to gossip with.

She saw how weak the billionaire’s son looked, and immediately took up a kind motherly guise.

Zhou Yu didn’t ignored the fawning nurse. He was scared witless from the incident with the ghost that he felt that this hospital was very gloomy and forbidding. He didn’t know what other monsters were hiding there and wanted to go home.

The nurse was very reluctant to let the rich son leave, but she didn’t dare to offend him, so she hurried off to find the doctor.

Afraid of re-entering the room, Zhou Yu sat on a chair outside of the room, patiently waiting for the nurse to allow him to leave the hospital.

The recent events had troubled Zhou Yu significantly, causing him to feel very agitated and stressed.

Rubbing his temples, Zhou Yu’s thoughts drifted towards Feng Xing’s death. His eyes dimmed, “Feng Xing, you can rest in peace, I will get justice for you!”

A gentle breeze drifted through the corridor, brushing Zhou Yu’s pale cheek, like placing a gentle kiss.

Thank you, Senior.

“Oh wait! Feng Xing’s body! Is it in this hospital? I’ll have to take a look!”

Wait, what? Don’t go over there!

Feng Xing remembered how ugly his corpse looked and wished that he could be cremated right that moment.

*********

On the other side, the reincarnation team that escaped through the hole were running wildly for their lives.

Fueled with a strong desire to live, they managed to escape the endless corridor and enter a dark passage.

Although they had been cut badly by the turbulent storm inside the dark passage, the team had managed to come back to the hospital, alive.

They had appeared on the lowest floor of the hospital.

The sudden appearance of a group of people in bloodstained rags frightened the doctor who was in the morgue.

“Ahhh! There’s ghosts!”

The reincarnation team, also frightened by the scream, held up their weapons and looked around. They had been traumatized by what had just happened in the corridor.

The team were on high alert for a while, long after the doctor had ran off, eventually loosened up, realizing that they were out of danger.

“We finally got out…” Hua She Li’s eyes were lifeless. His whole body was covered in bleeding wounds.

The other members didn’t look any better than him, besides, Zheng Qian who had better protective gear. Everyone was covered in blood, while Zheng Qian just looked a bit ruffled.

If a normal person had lost the same amount of blood as the members had, then, that person might be close to dying from blood loss.

However, at the end of the day, the reincarnators were still reincarnators. They all drank their restorative medicine. In a blink of an eye, their wounds stopped bleeding and their faces were glowing with vitality.

“It seems that Feng Xing built the Ghost Realm in the morgue of the hospital…. Damn it! We’re so unlucky. No wonder the Ghost Realm was so difficult, a lot of people died in this hospital.”

Zheng Qian angrily spat out some blood, heart-aching from the loss he had taken.

They didn’t even manage to touch the Big BOSS, and half of the team was dead. It was an absolute loss.

【Quest Published:

Basic Quest: Live through the end of the plot.

If task failed, players will be erased.

Side Quest 1: Survive at least 3 days in Shi Yi Zong middle school.

3000 bonus points will be rewarded for completion of the quest. There will be no penalty for failure. 】

“Let’s get out of here and find someplace to rest!” Zheng Qian made up his mind to complete the side quest. He had to earn back some of his loss.

Only the brave eat, while the cowards starve in this world . Although Feng Xing was even more powerful than before, as long as he had the appropriate tools, it is not difficult to survive for 3 nights.

Rushing to leave the hospital, the reincarnators didn’t notice the body on the morgue table slowly sat up.

******

The sun was at its peak in the afternoon, lighting up the originally dark alley with sunshine and dispelled the gloomy atmosphere.

Zhou YuXin and her group walked through the alley, heading their way towards a shabby old apartment building.

At this moment, the apartment building was very quiet, as if no one lived there.

That’s because the girl that lived on the 3rd floor, who just started attending middle school, had died. In the morning, when the police came to question the mother, the mother was no where to be found, and the room had been cleaned out. It seemed that the mother had ran away.

The incident was quickly spread by the gossiping aunties in the building. Many people felt that it was inauspicious and stayed home. Other felt uneasy and rushed to a nearby temple to pray.

Thus, the alleyways that are usually brimming with people, became desolate and empty.

This also made Zhou Yu Xin and her group’s movements easier.

“It’s right ahead of us. If my memory isn’t wrong, the stuff should be underneath the foster mother’s bed.” Liu Zhuang recalled his memory of the plot.

Zhao Yu Xin nodded and turned around to face Zhou Han Xi, who was constantly chewing her gum, “Let’s go. We almost have the seal. This time we’ll be safe, or at least we won’t end up like those old reincarnators.” Zhou Yu Xin felt a little relieved as she remembered the death announcements that rang earlier. Fortunately, she didn’t decide to follow them! They died awfully fast, haha!

Zhou Yu Xin continued to show a gentle smile, covering up her joy in other people’s misfortune.

Zhou Han Xi nodded coldly, not replying. However, this showed that she placed her trust in Zhao Yu Xin and not the others.

This is also the result Zhao Yu Xin wanted.

Closing her eyes, Zhao Yu Xin’s smile became even more gentle.
