Chapter 893: Chapter 894: A Female Ghost!
Because he realized he had walked into a dead end, there was no way forward.
“Damn! Such a long corridor, yet not a single cell.” Lin Yifan was utterly baffled.
He couldn’t understand why this dark corridor needed an array checkpoint; clearly, there was no danger. Could it be that this was a place to imprison specters?
Thinking about this, he felt a chill down his spine.
Specters are ethereal entities floating in space, sowhat like souls; when they beco nacing, they are extrely terrifying. Unconsciously, a being appeared in his mind, the dreadful “Mountain God” soul.
Why is it called dreadful? Because its abyss-like mouth can devour everything; in front of it, it’s hard for your soul not to shiver.
If there was a specter as powerful as the Mountain God’s soul imprisoned here, then Lin Yifan might be done for tonight.
Because he didn’t know if the black orb would enjoy the taste of specters.
“Should I continue forward?” Lin Yifan asked himself.
He hadn’t yet reached the end of the corridor, not knowing what secrets might await there. If there were a secret chamber door, perhaps there would be unexpected gains.
After thinking it over, he believed that if there really were specters, they would have already co out to bite him; as they hadn’t, it ant he was still safe, and all his fears were self-inflicted.
Thus, he mustered his courage and continued forward.
He had already shone his flashlight to the end of the corridor and confird there was no way forward; and the reason he didn’t leave imdiately was that he wanted to hold onto a shred of hope.
He always felt that this dark corridor wouldn’t be that simple and that there must be a hidden mystery.
Sure enough, as he walked closer to the end of the corridor, he suddenly discovered a turning point—a small, dark corridor appeared in his view, startling him.
This small corridor was connected to the larger one he was walking on, located to the left at the end of the larger corridor; aning there was a leftward dark corridor at the corridor’s end.
He hadn’t seen it earlier because the flashlight only illuminated the wall at the end of the corridor, coupled with the weak light and the distance, making it natural for him to have missed this hidden leftward dark corridor.
Why call it a small corridor? Because its width was barely enough for one person; while the larger corridor could fit about five, the difference in size was self-evident.
The appearance of another dark corridor signifies the unknown.
Lin Yifan didn’t know what might be hidden inside; if zombies or a ghost suddenly erged, he’d surely be scared half to death.
“Should I go? Should I go…”
Lin Yifan constantly questioned himself, feeling extrely fearful and uneasy.
It was all due to the depictions of monsters and ghosts around him, making it seem like a haunted house. Even though you know there aren’t ghosts in this world, when you enter a place with such eerie environnts and things, you can’t help but be startled.
It’s all a fragile ntality at work; if your inner strength is robust enough, you wouldn’t fear these things.
Though Lin Yifan had been trained in the military, knowing of the existence of souls, spiritual beings, and terrifying entities from other realms completely changed his perspective, forcing him to be cautious in his heart.
After much inner turmoil, he finally uttered, “For Qingqing, I’ll risk it!”
Whenever faced with uncertainty and fear, he would always think of Su Qingqing; she was his biggest motivation for coming here, and for her, he could abandon everything.
With newfound determination, Lin Yifan worked hard to overco his inner fears and take a step forward.
With the first step taken, the second step would follow; so he approached step by step, gradually uncovering the true face of the small corridor.
Of course, he didn’t let his guard down, carefully inching forward.
The feeling was akin to discovering sothing unknown hidden in a place, making you curious about what it might be; driven by curiosity, you cautiously approach step by step.
Ti slowly slipped by, and the distance shrank; whenever nearing the truth, one couldn’t help but feel their heartbeat accelerate and nerves tighten, because the unknown is genuinely worrying and nerve-wracking.
The flashlight’s beam slowly probed into the small corridor; so far, Lin Yifan hadn’t found anything amiss.
But in the very next second, when his flashlight reached the end of the small corridor, he suddenly saw a “ghost”.
This “ghost” stared at him with eyes wide open, a malicious expression on its face, seemingly wanting to consu him.
“Mom!”
Lin Yifan scread and imdiately turned to run, not daring to look back.
The prisoner confined in the most secure cell at the end of the small corridor was left speechless; he had seen cowards, but never soone as timid as this.
If this person were his senior brother, he’d surely beat him half to death.
But judging by the voice, it didn’t seem like his senior brother; if not him, then who could it be?
With questions in mind and hoping to find a way out, he hastily called out, “Hey! Friend! I’m not a ghost; I’m human!”
Just as Lin Yifan was about to use his cultivation power to open the formation gate and escape, he suddenly heard a voice, familiar yet strange, coming from behind.
Why familiar yet strange? Because it was Shenzhou Country’s native language, very familiar, like a native tongue; yet the accent was strange, and Lin Yifan couldn’t ascertain who it was.
“How is there Shenzhou Country language here?” Lin Yifan was puzzled.
What he just saw was clearly a ghost in a kimono, yet the voice in Shenzhou Country’s language was unmistakably male, leaving him utterly confused about what was real and what was not.
Turning the flashlight back to the end of the larger corridor, Lin Yifan kept circulating his cultivation power, ready to activate the array for escape at any mont, while nervously asking, “Who are you?”
Hearing a response, the prisoner in the last cell was filled with joy; he could be sure this was a compatriot from Shenzhou Country; though likely not his senior brother, being countryn, the other party wouldn’t abandon him; and he believed that once he revealed his identity, the other person would be moved.
Thus he replied, “I am the Thirteenth Elder of the Kunlun Sect in the Cultivation World of Shenzhou Country; please, dear compatriot, rescue .”
“Thirteenth Elder of the Kunlun Sect?”
Lin Yifan was stunned, not expecting the person imprisoned at the end of the dark small corridor to be a cultivator from the Kunlun Sect.
But, he had clearly seen a female ghost, so how could it be a man?
So, in doubt, he asked, “Where are you imprisoned? Why didn’t I see any cell here?”
