Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Ghost Realm

It's already October, but the sweltering red sun days ago always make people remember this, until now, as if the bleak autumn wind that swept the whole city overnight and made passers-by shiver, people suddenly realize that it is already the late autumn season. Although the remote suburbs such as Dongguozitun are still on the edge of the urban area in terms of administrative division, there are neither those high-rise buildings of steel and concrete to block the wind, nor the endless flow of vehicles to spew exhaust fumes to increase the temperature, so the night breeze blowing across the mountains, rivers and fields is more chilly than the city center, so that nearby residents hiding in warm quilts are too lazy to go out.

But it is not without exception, under the withered old locust tree outside Tunzi that is not known for many years, Xie Feichen, who is dressed in black casual long sleeves, leans obliquely against the folded trunk, and has been blowing in the cold wind for several hours, quietly blending into the shadow of the locust tree like a silent statue, motionless.

As night fell, the temperature of the surrounding air dropped more and more, but Xie Feichen, who was thinly dressed, didn't seem to feel cold at all, but kept rubbing the ancient ring that was worn on the ring finger of his left hand and was completely black like obsidian. Unlike most of his peers' thick palms, his five fingers are white and slender, but they are somewhat similar to girls, even in the current graying environment, you can still see the delicate outline, and although the black ring on the ring finger has an ancient meaning, there is no carving on the ring surface, which is extremely simple, but Xie Feichen is fully engaged in playing with this simple ring, letting time pass minute by minute, and he will not get tired of it at all.

After nightfall, looking down from mid-air, the bright and dark lights coming out of the windows of the houses in the tunzi are flickering like fireflies, intertwined into a hazy and soft light faintly scattered in this area, dispelling the eternal dim night, and announcing the domination of the human beings who occupy this world over this land. Suddenly, after a flickering of light and darkness, a large number of lights were extinguished in unison, and in just a few seconds, the entire tunzi was shrouded in darkness, just like the night that this land had experienced in the past countless years, only the few vague stars in the sky seemed to become clearer.

After a short silence, people who were watching TV and surfing the Internet at home reacted to what was happening, and the shouting and scolding spread throughout the whole tunzi, and soon subsided. Although in recent years, with the improvement of the power grid, people in Dongguo Zitun have rarely encountered this kind of power outage, but most residents still remember the days when there was no electricity more than ten years ago, but they did not overreact, and cursed casually twice, only a few hairy children who were on the rise cried and shouted that they were decisively suppressed by their parents, after all, it was almost eleven o'clock now, and it was time to go to bed.

"Power outage? That's a coincidence. ”

Xie Feichen slowly raised his head and looked inside Dongguo Zitun and muttered to himself. His face was a little pale, not the kind of jade white skin that was pleasing to the eye, but a sickly pale that seemed to lack blood after the initial recovery from a serious illness, but the two black pupils were extraordinarily deep, as if the thickest night, brewing a terrifying glow.

Soon after, most of the people in the tunzi had fallen asleep, and Dongguo Zitun seemed dark and silent in the deep night, just like the ancient times when thousands of years ago had not yet entered the industrial society, in that era, the day belonged to human beings, and the night belonged to those dark aliens who had long been swept into the dust of history, such as ghosts!

"Whewβ€”β€”, calculate the time, it's about the same."

About half an hour after the power outage, the tunzi became more and more silent, only a few insects that were not afraid of the cold echoed in the whistling evening breeze, and suddenly Xie Feichen let out a long breath, as if he had changed back into a living person from the cold statue, and walked towards a dark remote corner of the tunzi without hesitation.

There is a huge six-story building of nearly 30 meters in the west corner of Tunzi, which is a distance away from the continuous residential buildings in the center of Tunzi, and is extremely conspicuous in this Dongguozitun, which is generally no more than three floors. This is a few years ago a large project left behind, during that time the city planned to vigorously develop the East Guo Zitun this piece of commercial service area to create a heart, so a well-known local rich businessman ambitiously spent a huge amount of money here to enclose a large piece of land, ready to start construction of a high-end comprehensive business building, and then somehow the project was yellow, the business of the rich businessman also suddenly suffered a setback and declared bankruptcy, the wife directly divorced and ran away with the child, and the engineering team was evacuated because the early payment was not in place, Only half of the unfinished buildings were left that no one had taken over.

A few months later, the desperate rich merchant jumped from the roof of this building with great effort in the middle of the night, and the building seemed to have become an ominous place all of a sudden, especially after the people in the tunzi swore that they had seen the figure of the dead rich merchant in the building, the rumors of the ghost building quickly spread in this area, so that the residents of Dongguo Zitun could not avoid it.

After the change, the government also seemed to abandon the plan to develop Dongguo Zitun and concentrate on the plan to build another e-commerce mall, which disappointed the residents who were waiting for the demolition. As a result, the people of Dongguo Zitun continued to live as smoothly as before, but they tacitly turned a blind eye to the rumored ghost building not far from Tunzi, and only the most daring and naughty children dared to use this building as a secret base and exploration target, but they only dared to sneak into it during the day.

Xie Feichen is not a resident of the neighborhood, but he is very clear about the rumors of this ghost building, in fact, he came all the way and blew the cold wind for several hours because of this rumor.

The unlit Tunzi looks unusually dim in the night, relying on the miserable white cold moonlight to barely see the surroundings of the road ahead, and a little farther away is swallowed up by the darkness, and the swirling cold wind blows through the branches, blowing some withered leaves on the branches and the weeds on the ground, and the shadows of the branches under the dim moonlight are as hideous as ghost claws at a glance, which is completely the atmosphere of a cheap horror movie.

Xie Feichen, who was just walking, just glanced at it very coldly, not to mention the emotion on his face, and even his eyebrows did not tremble, as if he was walking on a sunny lawn at this moment, rather than walking on a strange desolate night path. Even when he walked to the door of the building, the inside of the black hole without a trace of light gave him an illusion, as if a monster with a bloody mouth was inviting you into the urn, and in the darkness that the moonlight could not reach, there was a dangerous and terrifying demon lurking in the building, staring at him with a knife, and Xie Feichen also did not change color in the slightest.

With an indifferent expression, Xie Feichen stepped into this ghost building without the slightest hesitation.

The hard and cold concrete walls suddenly block out the howling of the evening breeze, but although the cold wind and cold currents are avoided directly outside, the temperature inside the building seems to be much lower. Even if the cold wind just outside blew people's skin and pores were full of goosebumps, it was not a big problem for strong people, but there was a vague coldness wafting in the building, like a spider web, which wrapped around the body of the intruder, slowly penetrating into the bone marrow, unconsciously taking away a large amount of body temperature from the person, making the person's limbs gradually numb.

Xie Feichen took a deep breath, his increasingly pale face showed a subtle smile like a gourmand facing food, and licked his lips that were a little chapped by the wind: "It's so thick yin, I don't think I will go home empty-handed today." ”

After saying that, he pinched the magic trick in his hand, and the two fingers in the middle of the food swiped in front of his eyelids, and he shouted softly: "Cave Candle Spring, Underworld-"

"-Open your eyes!"

Under the sound of the command, a cold current like a cold stream poured out of his body and rushed up his pupils along the veins, and then a small cluster of invisible glowing green light burst into the depths of his eyes, and the entire vision suddenly changed, and the original dark environment was clearly visible at this time, although the color in his vision seemed to be a little gray and distorted as if he had a night vision device, but it made him move without hindrance. Under his careful gaze, a faint dark atmosphere in the air filled the entire building, everywhere.

"Hey, it's a good grievance, although it seems to be a miscellaneous fish, it's worth the trip."

"Then it's time to open a copy!"

Xie Feichen slowly spread out his left hand, the ring finger wearing the ring shook slightly, and a black ** book appeared in the air above the palm of his hand without warning. The style of this book is simple, the appearance is smooth, it seems to be made of the skin of some strange creature, and there are several wonderful patterns depicted on the dark cover, like some unknown text, and like a mysterious charm, and the body that is not too thick is so quietly suspended above Xie Feichen's palm, and there is a faint transparent light around the book.

"The discovery of the Dark Force, the detection of the concentration of the Force above the critical point, is it transformed into a different realm?"

In this gloomy place where no one is in the dark night, a mechanical and ethereal voice suddenly appeared in his mind, if it was an unsuspecting ordinary person, he was afraid that he would be scared half to death on the spot, but the corners of Xie Feichen's mouth were slightly curved into a happy smile, and he silently recited without thinking: "Yes!" ”

"The Alien is activating, please wait."

With the sound of this voice, the entire space suddenly distorted and expanded instantly, and the next moment the building seemed to have undergone a drastic change, although the surrounding layout did not change in the slightest, but the atmosphere became completely different from a moment ago.

The shadows under the stairs squirmed silently and condensed, the air that had been only slightly cold became more like a solid cold, piercing the skin unconscious, the sobbing echoed like a phantom sound in the open space of the building, the mottled and weathered walls were crawling with dark scars, the abandoned and lush weeds were visibly yellow and dry, and the entrance to the building, which was barely visible in the moonlight, was now covered with a gray mist, if anyone broke out at this time, You will find that no matter how you walk, you will only return to the building, just like the "ghost hitting the wall" in folklore.

A lingering dull atmosphere appeared around Xie Feichen, and even the most dull person would notice the silent but distinct abnormal changes in the building here, as if in the blink of an eye, this ghost building had its own will, and looked at the intruder in its body with full malice.

"After the construction is completed, the Alien Realm [Evil Spirit Ghost Dwelling] has been unfolded, and it lasts for three hours."
