Chapter 237: 153, it’s unexpected, but then again, not unexpected at all.

The girl died.

She died in terror, having frightened herself to death.

The ghosts that discovered her hadn’t even had the chance to touch her. Or more accurately, those ghosts didn’t intend to touch her at all. Tan Shuchang saw that after these fierce ghosts discovered the girl, they chased her, but it seemed more like clocking in for work; they chased her for a while before they stopped.

Then, those ghosts gathered together, emitting bursts of obscure and unfathomable sounds.

This was the language of ghosts.

Tan Shuchang didn’t understand it, after all, he had never died.

From this, it could be seen that ghost language was not a serious language. After all, who would need to die to learn a legitimate language?

But fortunately, while language could not facilitate communication, some things were universally understood.

On a dish that resembled a lottery wheel, the ghosts each placed their bets. After confirming that the girl had scared herself to death, a few of the ghosts rejoiced and divided the other bets among themselves.

Without surprises, this was a betting plate on methods of death.

And these few ghosts had bet on the girl scaring herself to death.

At this time, the ghosts who finished one round of betting showed no intention of leaving. They gathered around the girl’s body, produced another betting plate, and began placing their bets once again.

Tan Shuchang observed carefully and noticed that this betting plate was clearly different from the previous one.

“Could it be they are betting on the time the girl becomes a ghost?” Tan Shuchang pondered.

Then, he realized he was only half right.

The ghosts guarding the girl’s body were indeed betting on the time, but not on when the girl would become a ghost; rather, they were betting on the time of the girl’s resurrection.

When the girl was about to rise again, the ghosts scattered, leaving only the betting plate and the bets, as if they were fixed in place, immobile.

Therefore, after the girl came back to life, she didn’t notice anything wrong with herself.

“Ghost… there’s a ghost!”

The girl recovered and also remembered what she had previously seen, immediately plunging back into a state of extreme terror.

But the girl didn’t fall into a loop of dying, resurrecting, and dying again.

Because by the time of sunrise, the girl had also transformed into a fierce ghost.

The appearance of the fierce ghost resembled the girl, but it was as though several instances of her were overlaid. When she stepped out, the light in the region distorted along with her.

A dark, dull atmosphere spread out from her, reaching out into the surroundings.

Any area covered by this dark aura was influenced by the ghost, beginning to synchronize with the ghost’s emotions.

Even other fierce ghosts were not exempt.

And once other ghosts affected by these emotions synchronized with the girl turned ghost, they instantly became nourishment for her.

Thus, a Yin God was born.

The birth of this Yin God was swift; the advancement and promotion were completed within just a quarter of an hour.

Then, as a wave of ghost language came from somewhere unknown, the Yin God slowly returned to her dwelling–a somewhat old two-story bamboo and wood loft with a tiled roof covered in patches of moss and wild grass, swaying with the wind.

Near the loft stood a low wall, half-collapsed and revealing a somewhat chaotic scene inside–an old millstone without a donkey, a dry well that had been unused for some time, an old wooden barrel with a hole in it, some firewood with no place to stack, and a crookedly placed kerosene lamp atop the woodpile.

After the Yin God entered, everything fell into silence, and the ghosts in the vicinity all detoured around, as if something extremely ferocious resided there.

Tan Shuchang hid himself in a spot, watching the scene through the perspective of his Blood Shadow Incarnation, a wild speculation forming in his heart.

“If this is not another city in the Land of Yin and Darkness, then this place could very well be where the Ghost Heavenly Way was born.”

Afterward, Tan Shuchang began to let this Blood Shadow Incarnation dissolve.

This was to be on the safe side.

Tan Shuchang wasn’t sure whether his Blood Shadow Incarnation’s presence in this place would be detected by something.

The dissolution of the Blood Shadow Incarnation didn’t cause any trouble, and even the painting that borrowed the method of the Ghost Heavenly Way from Chushi dissipated along with it.

…

In the bizarre game world of the Snake Desire Realm, Tan Shuchang withdrew his gaze and shared his discoveries with Lord Dimie and Lord Jianhei. Not only the “man and ghost sharing one body” phenomenon but also the bestowed method of Chushi’s Ghost Heavenly Way.

After listening, Lord Jianhei asked Tan Shuchang, “Lang Shou King, if you have nothing else to do, you should go back first! Otherwise, you might be delayed here for a while longer.”

Hearing this, Tan Shuchang understood that this was likely the bizarre game hinting at another escape.

So he bowed with clasped hands and left directly.

Back in the Jiawu Realm, it didn’t take long for Tan Shuchang to discover that he could no longer communicate with the law of greed to return to the bizarre game world like before.

However, his connection to the law of greed persisted, though it felt as if something was now standing in between compared to before.

“It seems I didn’t guess wrong, it’s either the Land of Yin and Darkness, or a world where the Ghost Heavenly Way has been born…” Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but shake his head slightly, but he felt calm inside.
