Next door...
A figure identical to Wang Ye stood motionless like a statue in the middle of the living room, his eyes constantly darting around.
"Boy, dinner is ready."
The kindly voice of an old woman rang out from the corner room in the corridor as she carried over steaming hot dishes, affectionately calling out.
Mao Yong'an walked out of the bedroom looking a little tired and sat down at the dinner table, moving somewhat stiffly as he ate.
The old woman looked kindly at Mao Yong'an, smiling as she spoke, but did not pick up her own chopsticks.
In the dish, severed fingers kept writhing around ceaselessly, but Mao Yong'an ate as if nothing was amiss.
Blood kept trickling from the corners of his mouth.
Interesting, Wang Ye's neighbor is not so simple, is he?
In the bedroom, another Mao Yong'an was leisurely playing on his phone. He closed his eyes and sensed something, chuckling and murmuring to himself.
At the door, a sunny doll hung on the door, swaying in the absence of wind, looking particularly creepy without its eyes, just two bloody holes remaining.
Late at night.
Amidst deep slumber, Wang Ye's phone rang.
Captain, there's a problem in our jurisdiction.
Wang Qiang's voice rang out, his tone somewhat serious: This ghost is a bit special. The ghost domain it first produced was very weak, spreading bit by bit until it was discovered when the range had already grown quite large.
Address.
Information.
Instantly becoming fully awake, Wang Ye got up, got dressed, and calmly spoke.
Donghua District, Yu San Road, village area.
The death toll has reached over 300 people. All the deceased had ruptured bellies and mouths stuffed full of their own flesh and that of their loved ones.
The ghost domain has already covered the entire surrounding area.
That's all the current situation.
Wang Qiang gave a concise report of the intelligence.
After hanging up the phone and looking out the window to see the car belonging to the investigative bureau already parked at the entrance to the residential complex, Wang Ye strapped on his backpack containing tools for dealing with the supernatural and opened the door.
Looking towards Zhou Han's room, Wang Ye pondered briefly before abandoning the idea of waking her up.
He had also left Xiao Si at home.
Currently, he did not want to provoke either of these two women.
As for Mao Yong'an...
It would be a waste to leave such a helpful little assistant idle.
Thinking this, Wang Ye directly knocked on the door without qualms about disturbing the old woman in the middle of the night, showing no respect for the elderly.
Seeing the old woman dressed neatly without a single hair out of place despite the late hour, Wang Ye had a friendly smile on his face and politely said, "I'm looking for a friend, something came up."
The old woman smilingly nodded without any curiosity or doubt.
The sunny doll by Mao Yong'an's bedroom door swayed slightly. Mao Yong'an stretched and walked out looking annoyed.
"What the heck, disturbing a person's sleep in the middle of the night."
As he spoke, Mao Yong'an looked apologetically at the old woman, "Sorry Granny, my friend here has problems with his brain."
"Come with me to resolve a supernatural incident," Wang Ye said flatly.
Mao Yong'an looked strangely at Wang Ye as if looking at an idiot. "Why should I?"
"Because your son Mao Gang's life is still in my hands. Later I'll introduce you to a beauty not inferior to Zhou Han," Wang Ye's voice was filled with tranquility.
Mao Yong'an scoffed. "If I believe you again, I'm a fool! That Zhou Han..."
He stopped mid-sentence, as if thinking of something terrifying, and his mouth instantly shut.
"In Beijing, there is a mysterious alley..." Wang Ye murmured to himself.
The next second, all traces of drowsiness gone, Mao Yong'an moved extremely quickly back to his room. When he reappeared, he already had on his bottomless backpack and had his arm around Wang Ye's shoulder. "Let's go, we're brothers. Helping you vanquish ghosts is my duty!"
Not even giving Wang Ye a chance to react, he dragged Wang Ye forward with large strides!
In the car of the investigative bureau.
Mao Yong'an was somewhat excited, his dormant heart coming alive again. "Bro, is that mysterious alley far? Are the chicks... sexy? Got any maid outfits?
Wang Ye's eyes were closed as if he was asleep, completely ignoring Mao Yong'an's words.
Mao Yong'an glared at Wang Ye in frustration. "No efficiency, no goods! But your neighbor is not bad, a kindly old granny who cooks tasty food too."
As he spoke, Mao Yong'an stretched lazily and took on a more comfortable position, leaning back in his chair and likewise dozing off.
Wang Ye's face was towards the window. At some point his eyes had opened.
Really so kindly?
Could Mao Yong'an not have noticed anything amiss?
Or was he still underestimating this guy?
Pondering slightly, Wang Ye closed his eyes again to adjust his mental state.
After Wang Ye left, in the next room the other Wang Ye suddenly moved, opening the door a bit stiffly. He looked around before stepping out of the room.
He skillfully placed his fingers on the door lock.
His fingers melted like mud, flowing into the crevices of the lock.
Soon they hardened again.
With a slight twist, the door opened.
Wang Ye stepped inside and gently closed the door.
At the end of the corridor, from the peephole, after Wang Ye entered the room the old woman silently withdrew.
What no one noticed was that at some point, a small hole had appeared in the wall opposite Wang Ye's room. Inside the hole was a tiny camera, its red light faintly blinking.
Village area.
The perimeter had already been sealed off by investigators.
Wang Qiang and Liu Qian stood outside the barricade, directing the investigators' actions.
Seeing Wang Ye arrive, Wang Qiang came over.
"Captain, ready to take action?"
Wang Ye frowned slightly. "Li Hongtian hasn't come again?"
"Mm." Wang Qiang was silent for a moment and nodded lightly.
"I see. You and Liu Qian just stay outside for this incident. I'll take Mao Yong'an inside."
Wang Ye faintly sensed the ghost domain fluctuations in the distance and spoke evenly.
Wang Qiang was slightly taken aback. "You don't need us to... go inside?"
"Zhang ZiLiang only has you two capable subordinates left. He would feel bad if you died. With your current abilities, there's not much you can do to help and it's easier for you to distract me."
Wang Ye's voice was somewhat cold, cutting straight to the core.
Wang Qiang and Liu Qian were silent, silently nodding.
Listening in, Mao Yong'an raised his brows and spoke arrogantly, "You're acknowledging I'm a master now?"
Wang Ye glanced at him indifferently. "No, purely because if your life is endangered, I can directly abandon you."
Mao Yong'an: ???
Without looking at Mao Yong'an again, Wang Ye directly crossed the barricade, heading into the ghost domain.
Mao Yong'an heaved a silent sigh. "If not for the old fellow leaving me a task, I'd have blasted you away!"
Speaking thus, Mao Yong'an hoisted his huge black backpack onto his back, an unhappy expression on his face as he followed behind Wang Ye.
One in front, one behind, the two disappeared into the ghost domain.

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!

Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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.
