Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 345: Chapter 345 Heavenly Master 52

Even though the voice was somewhat distorted, Situ Shuangshuang could still discern it was the voice of Han Qiao Yu. However, this time, the voice had become extremely hoarse, as if she had been yelling for a long time and damaged her throat, and the scream was filled with fear.

With Han Qiao Yu’s distorted scream, Situ Shuangshuang noticed that the scene in front of her changed. A long, dimly lit, winding corridor appeared before her!

Seeing this scene, Situ Shuangshuang’s face immediately turned very grim. Ghost Realm Illusion! This is a skill only a fierce ghost can wield! Fierce ghosts are not common, but their appearance always costs innocent lives!

After death, very few transform into fierce ghosts, even if they harbor resentment, they mostly turn into resentful souls at most.

Resentful souls, although full of hatred, still retain a bit of their humanity from when they were alive. They mostly just focus on their enemies and rarely harm others. Even when they do, it’s mostly because they didn’t consider others while seeking revenge, rather than intentional harm.

But fierce ghosts are different. Most fierce ghosts weren’t good people when alive, and if they still have excessive resentment after death, they completely abandon their humanity and become fierce ghosts who harm others for pleasure!

It can be said that fierce ghosts are rare, but each one is exceedingly evil and is the main target of the Yin Cha of the Underworld and the Heavenly Masters of the mortal world!

For resentful souls, Heavenly Masters mostly focus on guidance and persuasion, unless they take a life; otherwise, they won’t eliminate them. But for fierce ghosts, no need to say much, they capture first and talk later. If they can’t capture them, they will eliminate them, as fierce ghosts’ sins are deep and they have already lost the qualification for reincarnation as a human.

However, fierce ghosts usually possess great power, making them difficult to capture, and the Ghost Realm Illusion they control is terrifying. Both fierce ghosts and resentful souls have unique talents; resentful souls pull people into their memories, either allowing them to observe or deeply empathize with their experiences.

Fierce ghosts, however, depend on their own memories to create a world between reality and illusion, pulling the living into their world to torture and toy with them at will, and then, once tired of the game, swallowing the souls to strengthen themselves.

Resentful souls often have geographical restrictions and cannot stray too far from their remains before reporting to the Underworld, but fierce ghosts have no such restriction and can drift freely, making them extremely difficult to capture yet highly dangerous. Both Heavenly Masters and Yin Cha find them exceptionally troublesome.

Situ Shuangshuang regretted not being more diligent in patrolling these haunted places. This fierce ghost must have just arrived or passed by, or she wouldn’t be unaware of a fierce ghost in her territory.

No need to think much now, Han Qiao Yu and her adventurous friends were undoubtedly in the hands of this fierce ghost, likely being toyed with in the Ghost Realm Illusion. Situ Shuangshuang now stood at the junction between the ghost’s Ghost Realm Illusion and the real world.

In the past, Situ Shuangshuang would certainly fight the fierce ghost from the outside, capturing it if possible and if not, dispersing it to earn some Merit.

But now, with living people inside the ghost’s Ghost Realm Illusion, if she were to kill the fierce ghost from the outside, whether or not these people would be used as hostages wasn’t important. With the fierce ghost’s death, the Ghost Realm Illusion would collapse, and Han Qiao Yu and the others would be trapped forever in the shattered Ghost Realm Illusion.

Situ Shuangshuang could only sigh helplessly and then step into the Ghost Realm Illusion. She couldn’t just leave these reckless kids here to be played to death by the fierce ghost, so she had to exert some effort and bring them out.

Upon entering the Ghost Realm Illusion, the real world vanished instantly. Now inside, Situ Shuangshuang found herself in an especially dark room, with a long, eerie corridor outside.

Situ Shuangshuang exited the room and walked through the corridor, sizing up her surroundings. As she had seen before, this corridor was long and winding with many twists and turns. On both sides of the corridor were rooms, some with closed doors, some open, but no sign of anyone.

The light in the corridor and rooms was dim, illuminated only by a faint yellow lamp! The walls of both the corridor and the rooms were mottled, clearly walls, yet they were covered with blood-red spots, as if countless blood stains had been splattered upon them.

The room doors were very shabby, covered in large patches of dark red stains of something indiscernible, giving off a rusty smell, though it lacked the tang of blood, purely a rust smell, yet it always evoked bizarre associations in one’s mind.

The windows in the rooms were large, but beyond the windows wasn’t a sunlit world, but another corridor identical to this one, with rooms on both sides mirroring these.

The floor was cement, uneven and full of muddy water of unknown origin, casting a dull red hue. When Situ Shuangshuang looked down, she saw her face reflected in a small puddle below.

Such murky water could reflect a person’s face as clearly as a mirror, and Situ Shuangshuang’s face in the puddle was even wearing a strange smile, an expression that would never appear on her face.

With a blank expression, Situ Shuangshuang looked at the reflection of her face with its eerie smile in the puddle, then stepped across it in one stride! Such small tricks to scare her! Don’t make me laugh!

Perhaps it was her overly calm demeanor that made the thing secretly spying on her anxious. It seemed the strange noises began to echo in her ears, sometimes close by, sometimes distant and ethereal, mixed with what seemed like screaming, ragged breathing, and chaotic running footsteps!

The sound fluctuated between being right at her ear and distant and hazy, while shadows danced across the wall marked with red stains, running back and forth. As soon as Situ Shuangshuang looked over, they would open their mouths towards her and emit a piercing screech!

Situ Shuangshuang clenched her fists, resisting the urge to dispel these illusions. She was just an ordinary bold person for now; she couldn’t let these beings discover she was a Heavenly Master. Once she found Han Qiao Yu and the other reckless kids, she would deal with this annoying fierce ghost.

This place was a Ghost Realm Illusion created by the fierce ghost; the scenery within relied completely on the ghost’s imagination, forming an impeccable closed illusion. But the Ghost Realm Illusion also had a weakness, which was, regardless of how the illusion changed, it must be based on real scenes from the fierce ghost’s memory.

Situ Shuangshuang just needed to find Han Qiao Yu and the others lost in the illusion first, then find the real grounding point of this illusion, and she could use the Nine-character True Words to break this fierce ghost’s Ghost Realm Illusion!
