When I woke up again, surrounded by black gas, the ground was covered with blood that had and had not yet coagulated, and a woman was lying on a hill of corpses with her back to me. To the soul, the air in this room was unbearably foul.

The dimly lit cabin, only a flame under a cauldron large enough to hold a person was the only light in the room, the flame was just an ordinary mortal fire, flickering very unsteadily, the woman still did not move, I turned around, and met the eyes of the woman in black.

"You're awake. ”

"Tell me, what kind of strength are you going to give me?"

"I'm sure you're familiar with ghosts, aren't you?" she said, gesturing to the still unawake woman behind me.

I shuddered: "Ghosts will be ruined in the underworld in this world!"

"What about the devastation?" she squinted her eyes and looked serious, "Didn't they kill you just to protect the underworld? ”

Good. I gritted my teeth. I didn't want to do this, you forced me to do this, and it's your fault.

"That's a good boy. The smile of the woman in black had an invisible coercion, and I didn't have the strength to resist her in the slightest.

She sent the fuchsia flame in her hand into the bottom of the pot, the fire almost wrapped the pot, the scarlet liquid in the pot began to tumble, and she used her spiritual power to throw the woman lying on her side into the pot, the liquid splashed, but it did not stain her robe at all.

The woman's eyes were closed, and I could see her face the moment she fell into the pot.

"Is that her?" I blurted out in surprise: "This is not the one next to Nanmo..."

"She has too many resentments in her heart, and it is best for cultivating ghosts. Now that I give you this shell, I will give you the power of ghosts. ”

Before I could speak, she grabbed me, and I shrank smaller and smaller in her hand into a trace of spirit. Then she slapped me on the woman's head, and I felt a burning sensation and opened my eyes to find that I did indeed have the woman's body.

The heavy smell of blood came to my nose, and I realized that the scarlet liquid was actually human blood. The soul has no sense of smell, which is why I only realize it now.

"It's... What kind of spell is it?" A hoarse voice came out of my throat.

"Try your spiritual powers. The woman in black withdrew the flame from her hand, and the blood in the pot was suddenly cold and piercing.

I used a slight force in my left hand, and the domineering black aura swirled in my hand, and I jumped out of the blood water with a slight push down, and the pot shattered in response, and the blood spread in all directions like a poisonous snake with scarlet traces.

"Who are you, and why are you helping me?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to know that we all have the same purpose. Her form grew lighter and faded, slowly fading out of the air.

"You should learn to control him slowly during this time. The woman in black disappeared into blood after leaving these words.

Harnessing, harnessing ghosts?

The room in front of me began to spin and darkened. The woman behind Nanmo appeared in front of me covered in blood. She licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, revealing two tiger teeth: "Are you the one who Tuyin?" The person in front of her suddenly disappeared, and her face poked out from behind me and bit my shoulder. "I'm Hotaru, also known as a ghost. When she said the word ghost, her voice became indistinguishable.

The blood flowing from the shoulder trickled like a stream, but there was no pain.

"Your soul smells good," she said, tearing the flesh off my shoulder with her mouth.

I grabbed her shoulders with my backhand and threw her to the ground, my left hand clamping her neck, and my right hand covering her bleeding shoulder.

"I know you hate Ximu and hate him for killing your Nanmo, but you can't defeat the underworld alone. Why don't we make a deal, you borrow my power, and I will help you kill Ximu. ”

She gasped, "I can eat you completely, so that my strength will be stronger." ”

"Do you know how to make the wood miserable? Do you know a lot about the underworld? As for the destruction of the underworld, whatever you want. ”

"Sounds good. Hotaru smiled slyly, like a woman in black.
