This world has no hell, no underworld, no heaven, no heavenly court, no cultivation, no enlightenment, no angels, no vampiresâŠ
But in this extremely ordinary world, ghosts really exist.
Since there was no influence from other mysterious powers, ghosts naturally didnât reincarnate or anything of the like.
For most ordinary people, if they die in the sun, then their ghost will be burned by the sun as soon as they leave their body.
Some ghosts leave their bodies on dark or cloudy days, and theyâll stay in this world for a while. Itâs just that newly born ghosts are generally very fragile. Right after their birth, they canât even recall memories of their own life. They can only stand there stupidly, like a pile of wood invisible to human beings.
If they donât have enough time to recover a little bit of consciousness before theyâre exposed to the sun, theyâll also be wiped out by the light.
But there were very few ways that ghosts could quickly recover their consciousness. Half of them depend on how deep the ghostâs obsessions were during the life they left behind.
Feeling that they hadnât lived enough, or that there were still many delicious foods they hadnât eaten, or wanting to play more games and go online, such obsessions were everywhere. Generally speaking, they were enough to help ghosts quickly regain some of their consciousness, but it wasnât enough for them to stay in this world.
But if their obsessions were too deep, they would break away from their identity as an ordinary ghost, and they would become a malicious spirit that does more harm than good in the world.
That could be seen from the ghost shop assistants that Su Zimo subdued. Like Zhang Xiaoqing and Uncle Hong, their degrees of obsession left behind turned them into malicious spirits.
There was also a kind of obsession different from theirs that was impossible for it to change or be influenced: the malice and desire to cruelly murder that lingers in some ghostsâ souls even after they die.
There may not be a solution for those kinds of evil ghosts other than elimination, but Su Zimo rarely encountered such evil ghosts before. There were, after all, very few.
The number of ghosts that can remain in this world because of obsession is only a small number compared to the amount of living humans in the entire world. And even if some ghosts with obsessions escape the sunlight of the previous day, they may disappear due to the next dayâs sunlight.
Before the arrival of the nightmare world, the ghosts of this world had long been accustomed to the disappearance of those around them when the sun shone in the early morning. Their own abilities werenât very strong. They couldnât fulfill their obsessions with the body of a ghost, just like a prisoner trapped in their own chains. It was difficult to find a method to relieve themselves other than the sun.
But perhaps because of the existence of ghosts, there were still a few with special powers in this world. For example, the lipstick that Su Yi got was like a medium, allowing malicious spirits to overdraw Su Yiâs vitality early, so that the malicious spirits could grant her wish using the vitality as a supplement.
Then when Su Yiâs vitality drops to a certain critical point in her body, the malicious spirits who felt that they could no longer draw excess power from Su Yiâs wishes would swarm her and divide the lipstick holder amongst themselves!
This amazing supplement could strengthen malicious spirits and eventually give birth to the kind of terrifying ghosts that make people tremble when they hear stories related to them.
Overall, no matter how long those ghosts could persist, they were used to others standing next to them to suddenly disappear one day when the sun rises. So when the special power of the nightmare world appeared in this world, the native ghosts of this world didnât feel anything abnormal.
They also didnât know that the ghosts that seemed to be wiped out by the sun like before were actually locked up in the nightmare world. Relying on the power of the nightmare world, those ghosts who were originally not very powerful, gained more destructive power, even some devastating special abilities like the newspapers controlled by Uncle Hong or the illusions created by Zhang Xiaoqing.
Their powers would be weakened after entering the real world, but they were still stronger than the native ghosts who may not even know what the nightmare world is.
The malicious spirits attracted by Su Yi using the lipstick at that moment were some of these native ghosts. Although these malicious spirits looked hideous, they werenât necessarily powerful. The malicious spirit who replaced Su Yiâs shadow was a bit abnormal, especially the axe in his handâs that gave off a bad feeling at first glance.
Because Su Yi mentioned the name âSu Zimoâ when she made her wish, and the attracted malicious spirits knew what the lipstick holder felt when she made the wish, they could clearly and quickly distinguish their target from the others in the dining room.
The malicious spirits who helped grant Su Yiâs wishes before had been eliminated by Su Zixiang, but for malicious spirits, it was much simpler, brusque, and quick to eliminate a person than to help a greedy woman become more beautiful, right?
These malicous spirits were a bit suspicious, though. Why were there so few of them around the lipstick holder? Was she just starting to make wishes? Then why was the holderâs state so bad? Her state was clearly that of someone who had made wishes many times. What was going on?
Relying on the ability granted by the lipstick as a medium, the malicious spirits could see that as long as they granted such a wish, they could devour this woman and obtain a powerful supplement â human vitality.
There were a lot of doubts, but ordinary ghosts rarely thought about such complicated things. They may have only realized two thingsâ
One was that the living person she wanted to get rid of possessed delicious vitality.
Two was that the woman they were about to devour also had fairly attractive vitality.
Either way, vitality was vitality. Even if it rolled in the mud, it was still a supplement. Such a task would let them kill two birds with one stone.
Weak ghosts eat people, powerful ghosts eat ghosts. That wasnât just a story that only exists in horror movies.
[Eat it! Eat it! Eat Su Zimo, then eat this woman!]
[Grant her wish, eat them both!]
With the help of the lipstick as a medium, the malicious spirits who had gained power in a short amount of time immediately rush toward Su Zimo.
The ordinary people who only heard the sound didnât move, but looked around for the source of the noise. Although Su Zixiang saw the malicious spirits, he didnât move either.
Su Gan, Su Ni, Su Zixiang, and Su Duan werenât fools. They noticed Su Yiâs abnormality and heard the voices mentioning names.
They quickly came to the conclusion that the woman in front of them who had yin yang eyes and looked like Su Zimo, but wasnât as pretty as him, wanted to hurt him!
After Su Zixiang realized this, he couldnât move. Although he didnât know how Su Yi did it, as for the results⊠he enjoyed them.
Ghost Umbrella moved very fast. At almost the same moment that the malicious spirits rushed over, Su Gan and the others clearly saw hideous and evil malicious spirits like those from horror films, one holding an axe.
And those malicious spirits were rushing towards Su Zimo!
Sitting in the seat closes to Su Zimo, Su Gan saw the malicious spirits rush over. Before he had time to be afraid, his hands and feet moved and he rushed to Su Zimoâs side, opening his arms and standing between him and the malicious spirits!
Ghost Umbrella didnât give Su Gan the opportunity to show off. He immediately appeared silently behind Su Zimo. He was dressed in black, floating above the ground, and looked calmly at the approaching malicious spirits without even opening the umbrella in his hand.
At the moment when Ghost Umbrella appeared, the malicious spirits who were rushing forward suddenly slammed the brakes. They stood still above the dining table as if they were petrified, just one meter away from Su Zimo.
Su Zimo glanced regretfully at the food on the table.
Seeing the image in front of him, even if the Su family chefâs cooking skills were excellent, he didnât have the appetite to continue eating.
The others in the Su family knew Ghost Umbrella was with Su Zimo, so after they saw the several âpetrifiedâ ghosts on the dining table, they immediately got up and stood near Ghost Umbrella and Su Zimo as fast as they could.
They knew what the ghosts were afraid of. They werenât afraid of Su Zimo, who they wanted to eat at first, but of the ghost umbrella that had appeared behind Su Zimo!
Su Zixiang, who wasnât shocked by Su Yiâs or the malicious spiritsâ appearance, was completely stunned by the appearance of the ghost umbrella.
That⊠that is⊠what is that?!
What is that floating thing�
[Scram!] Ghost Umbrella stretched out the black umbrella in his hand. The bright silver tip pointed at the ghosts who didnât dare to move. [Or you can stay on this table.]
[Do I need to count down?] Ghost Umbrella raised his eyebrows lightly.
The ghost with the axe was still standing beside Su Yi and didnât move. He didnât know if he was just not reacting, or if he really was waiting for the ghost umbrella to count down.
A certain black ghost holding an umbrella didnât really intend to let them go from the start, and his black eyes instantly turned crimson.
For the first time, the bright silver umbrella tip gleamed with a bloody light that Su Zimo had never seen before.
But before Ghost Umbrella could take action, the ghosts attracted by Su Yi suddenly retreated, turning back to Su Yi who had summoned them! It was as if the ghost tool was biting back. For the ghosts who were summoned by the lipstick, they must either grant Su Yiâs wish, refuse and leave, or⊠they would directly eat the lipstick holder!
It was impossible for them to complete their assignment. Just looking at those eyes, the ghosts knew that they werenât on the same level as the ghost umbrella. The strength difference was too much; that was a monster!
As for leaving⊠that black ghost had no intention of letting them go!
So for the malicious spirits, it was better to return to Su Yi. Maybe the vitality they get as supplements would allow them to escape.
After using the lipstick for so long, Su Yi, who had just seen the malicious spirits for the first time, reacted. She saw that group of terrible malicious spirits turn around and rush over.
âSu Zixiang, save me!â
