"Let's go~" roared Su Chen, unleashing his full combat prowess.
After accepting the exclusive mission, his trident-bladed spear materialized from its ethereal form.
He had no time to marvel at its power, for in the blink of an eye, countless faces opened their eyes.
A sea of black hair overwhelmed everything, and the darkness around erupted into chaos.
Su Chen could even clearly see those heads embedded in the ground crawling out.
They were not mere heads; they were complete ghosts, one after another.
These ghosts seemed to be a unified whole,
for their strength was identical, as if copied and pasted.
But it was worth noting that as these ghosts crawled out,
their power surged rapidly. Given more time, they would become true Red-Clad spirits.
The thought of thousands of Red-Clad spirits made his scalp prickle.
"Move, quickly," Su Chen waved his trident-bladed spear.
The black hair blocking his way was torn and chopped, as fragile as tofu.
But soon, the spear encountered some obstacles.
The awakening ghosts' rapid power surge was terrifying.
If stuck here for fifteen minutes, no, even ten, Su Chen would meet his doom.
"Don't engage them," he ordered.
"Escape through here."
"Gan Jiang, you're familiar with the basement. Lead the way."
"I promised you ten Ghost Coins if we make it out alive."
Gan Jiang roared, his eyes bloodshot with hysterical ferocity.
It forcefully tore open a path.
Red Bell, Silver, Mundo, the three Red-Clad spirits, surrounded Su Chen, desperately rushing toward the exit.
"Break through!"
The trident-bladed spear was indeed formidable, slicing through ghosts nearing Red-Clad status with a single strike.
"Damn it," Su Chen cursed.
Despite their desperate efforts, the sea of black hair grew thicker.
More ghosts awoke.
Wails became the only sound in the world.
The gap torn by Gan Jiang was soon blocked by the black hair.
Despair flashed in Su Chen's eyes.
He had been too greedy.
With his current strength, accepting an exclusive mission was overreaching.
After struggling to live another life, was he destined to end here?
Just then, a light appeared in Su Chen's eyes.
A dazzling golden light shone through the gaps in the black hair.
With a roar, the black hair was blown apart by immense force, revealing a huge breach.
It was Da Chun.
Like a sun in the darkness, Da Chun instantly dispelled the gloom, bringing hope of survival.
Su Chen rejoiced and shouted, "Brother Chun, we're here!"
"Brother Chun, you're here just in time."
"Pull us out."
Da Chun emerged from the breach.
It arrived just in time.
Without further questions, Da Chun, with the power of a top-tier Red-Clad spirit, cleared the way through the sea of black hair.
It rescued Su Chen, Red Bell, Mundo, Silver, and Gan Jiang.
Looking back, the breach was almost entirely blocked again.
If Da Chun had been a second slower, they would have been trapped forever.
"Brother Chun, to Building 1," Su Chen urged.
"Don't engage those black-haired ghosts."
"There are too many of them."
"And their strength will grow over time."
Having escaped the sea of black-haired ghosts, Su Chen dashed toward Building 1 without hesitation, using his speed boost and teleportation abilities.
Red Bell, Silver, Mundo, Gan Jiang, and Da Chun followed closely behind.
The darkness behind seemed to be stirred, now in full rebellion.
Black hair intertwined with darkness, and darkness was filled with countless ghostly corpses.
There were also unknown ghosts crawling out from every corner of the darkness.
They transformed into the most terrifying waves, rushing toward Su Chen and his group.
"Su Chen, what have you done now?" Da Chun's face was filled with dark lines as it roared loudly.
It had been waiting for Su Chen below Building 1.
Suddenly, it felt the rebellion of the darkness and heard Su Chen's cries.
When it arrived, such a terrifying mutation had occurred in the basement.
It had been to the basement many times but had never encountered anything like this.
"Brother Chun, I found the missing resident from my building," Su Chen said casually.
"They were killed, and I avenged them."
"I not only killed that ghost but also stole its weapon."
Su Chen made up a reason on the spot. Da Chun could believe it or not; at least he had an explanation.
"Here it is, quickly enter Building 1," Su Chen spotted the door to Building 1.
Feng Ji had said that the ghosts of the basement level dared not enter Building 1.
At this moment, the thousands of ghosts behind them had fully transformed into Red-Clad spirits.
If they stayed in the basement, they were doomed.
Entering Building 1 was their only chance of survival.
Without hesitation, Su Chen rushed into Building 1.
Next were Mundo, Red Bell, Silver, and Da Chun.
Gan Jiang glanced back and then at the direction where Su Chen had disappeared.
It roared, "What the hell, you run towards danger wherever it is!"
"Big brother, you can't die. You still owe me thirty Ghost Coins!"
With a gritted tooth and a stamp of the foot, Gan Jiang also rushed into Building 1 and disappeared.
The wave of ghosts lunged towards Building 1 but stopped abruptly.
All the ghosts stood silently.
The wriggling dark mist gradually subsided.
But one could clearly see thousands of terrifying shadows standing within the mist.
They were like statues, neither moving nor speaking.
Soon, as Su Chen and his group entered Building 1, the basement level returned to calm.
It was as if nothing had ever happened there.
On the other side, what appeared before Su Chen was a completely abandoned building.
The building seemed to have been burned, left in ruins.
Shocking bloodstains were exposed through the peeling walls.
In the very center of the building, it looked like something had chopped through it.
A huge crack spread from the rooftop down to the second floor.
The building also had numerous holes, still emitting eerie ghostly flames to this day.
However, this was not what surprised Su Chen the most.
What amazed him the most was that he was standing at the main entrance of the building.
The surrounding darkness obscured the rest of Xin'an Residential Area.
It was like the darkness had isolated this building.
It had become a completely independent place.
From outside Xin'an Residential Area, one could not see the true form of Building 1.
Only by entering Building 1 from the basement level could one witness its true appearance.
No wonder the boss lady and Feng Ji said that entering Building 1 from Xin'an Residential Area was a dead end.
Su Chen swallowed hard and muttered two words: "Ghost Realm."
The only explanation for the situation in Building 1 was a Ghost Realm.
A Ghost Realm was possessed only by a Great Evil.
The Ghost Realm here was incomplete, a shattered one, but it was definitely a Ghost Realm.
Because the cracks in the overhead darkness allowed Su Chen to glimpse the true sky of the horror world.
"It must have once suffered heavy damage; otherwise, it would have left Xin'an Residential Area long ago," Su Chen pondered, his voice trembling with shock.
The vitality of a Great Evil was extremely formidable, especially its recovery ability.
Even if beaten into a pulp of flesh and blood, it wouldn't die.
To kill a Great Evil, one must eliminate all its recovery abilities before it can heal, utterly destroying it.
Otherwise, it would recover swiftly and regain its former self.
That was the terror of a Great Evil.
But if Su Chen's deduction was correct about the Great Evil in Building 1,
it had suffered heavy damage, even shattering its Ghost Realm.
Its wounds were so severe that they couldn't be healed by its recovery power. It could only hide in Building 1 and rely on time to recover.
Who possessed such terrifying power to prevent even a Great Evil from healing?
It was unimaginable, astonishing.
