In the following days, no one died.
However, the participants felt worse than dead.
"Who am I doing this for? Isn't it all for you!"
"Your father and I have scrimped and saved to raise you up, and yet you're so disappointing!"
"Look at the kid next door. How well - behaved he is. Can't you give us some peace of mind?"
"What do you mean you're not feeling well? You still have to go on that blind date even if you're not well. Your father and I are counting on you to get married!"
"I was already earning money at your age!"
The entire neighborhood was filled with the constant scolding sounds.
The resentment floating above the neighborhood was almost visible to the naked eye.
The ghosts didn't know why the manager suddenly changed the rules and even gave them new lines to say. But in order to get paid, all the ghosts worked very hard and even really regarded these humans as their own family members.
"You're good for nothing! You're just a useless piece of trash!" Huang Si scolded Lin Wei. Lin Wei's eyes were dull. He didn't expect that this ghost wouldn't try to kill him but instead kept attacking his weak points.
Huang Si reminded him of his former boss before he became a live - streamer. That boss used to scold him like this too.
Later, he became a hero and even sent someone to smash that boss's car.
It was bearable for one or two days, but this ghost seemed to have learned all sorts of words from somewhere. Not a single sentence was repeated, and each one hit Lin Wei right in the heart.
"Look at Fang Zhiyi. Then look at yourself! You've achieved nothing! Do you still think you're something great?"
Ye Ruoyu was in the same situation. Her ghostly mother wouldn't let her wear her own dresses. Instead, she brought out her old clothes for Ye Ruoyu to wear, telling her to be thrifty and proper. She would also occasionally say that Ye Ruoyu was getting fat, that she was too short and not good - looking, etc. The most hurtful one was: "Do you think you're some kind of heart - throb? Wearing makeup. You've been on three blind dates already, and none of the guys took a fancy to you!"
Ye Ruoyu, who was always so proud, was deeply affected.
Had she really fallen to the point where even ghosts looked down on her?
The viewers in the live - stream also noticed that their idol was in a bad mental state, but they were helpless. Who would have thought that in this ghostly scenario, except for the first day, no one died later on. But these ghosts seemed to be possessed. They all resorted to the so - called "suppressive education"!
Even a normal person would be driven crazy by such treatment!
The key was that they couldn't rebel. They couldn't beat the ghosts, couldn't even talk back, and weren't allowed to leave the neighborhood!
It was like being relentlessly chased!
"I can't take it anymore. I'm going to Fang Zhiyi's live - stream. This is suffocating me."
"Me too."
"Wait for me!"
The only place of peace was Fang Zhiyi's live - stream. Fang Zhiyi was having a great time. He ate at different ghostly households every day. After eating, he would just wander around aimlessly, looking as if he was on a vacation.
And what he liked most was to sit not far away and watch Lin Wei being scolded every day.
This also made Huang Si very energetic. It seemed that this big shot was even more important than the manager. He must perform well.
"Look at the state you're in! You're not even a fraction as good as Fang Zhiyi!"
"What are you glaring at me for? Unhappy? Come on, try hitting me!"
Lin Wei's fans were gnashing their teeth at the sight of him putting up with everything. There were even rumors on Blue Star that Fang Zhiyi was colluding with the ghosts to bully the heroes.
Ye Ruoyu comforted Lin Wei, saying that soon, very soon they would be able to leave.
Although they didn't know if the last day would be dangerous, they had already survived six days.
There was only one day left.
The participants, who were barely holding on, didn't even have the chance to gather together. Those ghostly parents were like devils, chasing after them and saying those hurtful words. Compared with the previous direct danger of death, this kind of mental torture was even more terrifying.
Negative energy had been accumulating in their hearts. The two most affected were Lin Wei and Ye Ruoyu. The once - proud young lady was now extremely haggard. She had no makeup on and was wearing old and wrinkled clothes. Her previous image was completely gone. The abuse she had received in these days was more than the unpleasant words she had heard in her entire life.
Lin Wei was constantly being compared with Fang Zhiyi by Huang Si. His already narrow - minded heart was now filled with resentment.
And then, on the last day, something unexpected happened. Fang Zhiyi somehow angered the ghosts. Many people saw him being dragged into the property manager's office, looking half - dead.
Lin Wei felt extremely happy about this.
When Huang Si told him to go to the manager's office to help, Lin Wei ran there more eagerly than ever.
He wanted to see Fang Zhiyi's miserable state.
Sure enough, that annoying guy looked really bad. He was hanging from the beam in the property office, covered in blood. It seemed that he wouldn't live much longer.
Lin Wei wanted to ask some questions, but the impatient property manager drove him out.
But soon, an opportunity presented itself. Both he and Ye Ruoyu caught a piece of information. Those who wanted to leave here on the last day had to get a form stamped by the manager. But obviously, the manager didn't want to stamp it for them.
Thinking about being trapped here and continuing to endure the mental torture, Lin Wei and Ye Ruoyu didn't hesitate at all.
And that day, the property manager happened to leave the office. The two of them used Lin Wei's security guard ID card to get into the property office.
Lin Wei saw Fang Zhiyi and felt a strange sense of pride.
"Hey, isn't this Fang Zhiyi? You've been hanging out with the ghosts all day, and now they've thrown you aside?"
Fang Zhiyi glanced at him: "So what?"
"Still being stubborn?" Lin Wei looked at Ye Ruoyu who was rummaging through things. "You're finished. Let me tell you, even if you can go back, everyone will know that you're a traitor to humanity. I don't know what your special ability is, but I know that you're the one who gave all these suggestions to the ghosts."
As soon as he said this, Ye Ruoyu was stunned for a moment and looked up at Fang Zhiyi. So, it was him who had been causing her to be constantly suppressed?
Fang Zhiyi smiled weakly: "So what? It's useless. The live - stream signal has been cut off in this office. Hahaha! No one knows what I've done. Even if I admit that I'm on the side of the ghosts, so what?"
No live - stream signal? Ye Ruoyu and Lin Wei looked at each other. The two people who had suffered so much mental torture could see the flames of revenge in each other's eyes.
"You guys are so useless. You're far inferior to my disciple." Fang Zhiyi suddenly said.
"So, there's more than one traitor to humanity." Ye Ruoyu frowned. "Even a scumbag like you has a disciple."
"Scumbag? Compared to you, I'm not a scumbag... My disciple guarded for hundreds of years just to isolate the human world from the ghostly world. But you guys killed him. It was also you who let the ghosts invade the human world again... Cough... I originally wanted to kill you guys, but it's a pity..."
As soon as he said this, the expressions of Ye Ruoyu and Lin Wei changed.
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
