Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 134: Chapter 61: The Resentment of the Doll

As the Horror Tales Notebook was successfully contained by the Processors, all the Kaidan and Abnormalities that spread throughout Huan City University disappeared.

This operation was declared a success.

Then, numerous ambulances that had been on standby outside the school quickly entered the university grounds to assist the injured.

Ye Xun, who had his jaw removed and was knocked unconscious, was bound by chains. Under the supervision of three Processor teams, he was escorted away.

Li Yelai was somewhat surprised by this.

”He just became a Spiritual Ability User, right? Just a First Awakening Awakened Spirit User. Even if he was twisted by the power of the Void Realm, is such a big move really necessary?” Li Yelai inquired.

Just now, several senior Processors of the Second and Four Awakenings were dealing with a First Awakening one. Li felt he alone could have handled it; so why the need for so many powerful individuals? Could it be that the other side had accomplices?

”It’s different,” Ben Lei responded. ”Before his jaw was removed, he mentioned the name of a certain entity. It even caused a reaction in the Void Realm. Highly dangerous!”

Li Yelai recalled for a moment. After being suppressed, Ye Xun seemed to have mentioned ’Great God of Thousand Changes...’

God of Thousand Changes? Master of Thousand Changes?

”What is that?” Li Yelai asked. ”Could it be the King of the Forbidden Zone? He’s here shouting the name of the King of the Forbidden Zone, so can the King of the Forbidden Zone hear it?”

”It’s hard to say, it might just be the name of some entity in the Void Realm. After becoming a Spiritual Ability User, he might have heard this name in the Void Realm...” Ben Lei shook his head slightly. ”With our level of clearance, this is all we can understand.”

An entity in the Void Realm...

Li Yelai felt a stir in his heart; was this Ye Xun similar to him, becoming a Spiritual Ability User because of the power of some entity?

The Master of Thousand Changes, Li Yelai tentatively used this to refer to the other party. He wondered how this entity compared to Mr. Shadow?

”You should know, Spiritual Ability Users can be corrupted and contaminated by the powers within the Void Realm, which can drastically change their temperament. They become murderous, indulgent, and recklessly pursue the mysterious and immortality,” Ben Lei explained.

Li Yelai nodded at these words; he obviously knew this.

When he became a Second Awakening Spiritual Ability User, he had also seen many visions.

There were magnificent scenes of the Supreme Throne, with the power to decide the fate of all living beings.

There were beautiful girls in rags, Dolls, Cheese, even the Heavy Knights were among them, as if he could have them all just by beckoning.

The truth that was visible by just looking back, and that ultimate illusion...

These were all influences of false power. At that time, had he taken even a single step, Li Yelai would have been engulfed by those visions.

”In reality, the Void Realm is even more bizarre, with many dangerous entities. They will seduce Spiritual Ability Users into becoming their Believers,” Ben Lei spoke softly. ”Among them, some powerful beings are called Divine by the Creatures of the Void Realm. Many Taboo Items are related to these Divinities! There’s a hypothesis that the King of the Restricted Zone is actually an extension of some Void Realm Divine in the Physical World. However, this has not yet been verified.”

”Divine beings?” Li Yelai nodded thoughtfully.

He thought of the Ghost Immortal, a powerful entity in the Void Realm, with the Ghost Immortal Altar being a Taboo Item left in the Physical World. That Wang De might be its Believer.

Who knew if the Ghost Immortal counted as a Divine being? How far away was it from the King of the Forbidden Zone?

Mr. Shadow, who devoured the Ghost Immortal, what kind of existence was he?

Ben Lei continued to remind him, ”So, if you find a Spiritual Ability User praying to some being, don’t hesitate, take them down right away! They might have become twisted and are likely now a believer of some being!

”Although it’s more likely that beings in the Void Realm will ignore them, there is also a chance they will respond. If it’s the latter, the situation becomes very dangerous.”

”There was once a guy from the Ember Church who, before being arrested, used an Evil Ceremony to communicate with an entity called a Divine being, turning himself into a twisted Tentacle Monster covered in tumors. Devoid of reason, but incredibly strong, it took us a lot of effort to surround and kill it by the high walls.”

”I understand!” Li Yelai nodded seriously.

At the same time, he pondered whether he counted as a believer of Mr. Shadow.

There seemed to be a resemblance, as the Spiritual Ability Users, Void Realm Creatures, and even Taboo Items he killed all became offerings to the other side. There was a sense of a believer making offerings.

So was Mr. Shadow a Divine being?

Probably so, otherwise, he wouldn’t have eliminated Ghost Immortal so effortlessly.

But... it seemed like he hadn’t changed at all? He even maintained a cautious attitude towards Him. Apart from the exchange, he had no particular need for Him.

Besides, even if the other party was a Divine being, he couldn’t call out to Him.

He didn’t even know Mr. Shadow’s name. Did he really need to set up an altar and chant some incantation?

Would that make the other side angry?

As far as Li Yelai was concerned, they needed each other, with Li Yelai needing to trade for self-rescue or to save others, and Mr. Shadow needing him to break the chains. It wasn’t the relationship between a Divine being and a believer. It was more like two strangers who didn’t get along but had to cooperate.

But forget it, the next time he saw Mr. Shadow, why not try to get some information?

However, since he became a Spiritual Ability User, if there were no offerings, Li Yelai would no longer dream of Mr. Shadow.

He was, in turn, free from the torment of the strange dreams.

But to contact Mr. Shadow again would depend on the timing.
