Chapter 159: Progress Bar for Official Promotion 40/100

In the darkness, something was awakened by the blood, slowly swaying as it attacked Hensheng.

Su Zhenzhen's ears twitched, and almost instinctively she threw Hensheng behind her and confronted him with her bare hands.

"Bang--"

Something exploded in the air.

Su Zhenzhen felt her hands were numb, but the blow she had just blocked didn't seem to have hit anything.

Taking out the flashlight and turning it to the highest setting, Su Zhenzhen couldn't help but gasp.

Deep inside the prison, countless ghosts roamed about. Some were headless, others missing limbs, all were bizarrely ugly, and you could almost smell the stench emanating from them through the screen.

[Ugh, where have we gotten ourselves into this mess? One, two, three... I can't count them all, I simply can't count them all. Why are there so many ugly ghosts here?]

[I've already said that next time such a scary scene appears, could you please give me a heads-up? It's really tough being a nighttime bathroom enthusiast.]

[The person upstairs seconded this.]

The barrage of comments was so noisy that Su Zhenzhen's thoughts were inevitably distracted.

"Zhenzhen!" Hensheng suddenly cried out in terror.

Su Zhenzhen immediately regained her composure, only to find that although the number of ghosts in front of her was enormous, they were all standing there blankly.

Could it be that the thing that attacked and injured someone just now has shown its face and then hidden away again?

Su Zhenzhen dared not gamble. Although these ghosts looked dull, who knew how long they had been imprisoned here, or whether anyone had used them to perform evil magic?

If these things are secretly manipulated, it's enough to tear yourself and your hatred to shreds.

But waiting idly isn't Su Zhenzhen's style.

"Hensheng, in a moment I will open the path of reincarnation and send these ghosts to be reborn. The evil thing that just attacked us is hiding among them. This evil thing definitely does not want to be reborn. Keep an eye on them, and if any of them look strange, bite your tongue and spit on them."

This is a folk remedy. Hensheng is a virgin, yet he possesses the aura of an emperor and dragon. The blood from the tip of his tongue can burn ghosts.

There was a buffer period, enough time for Su Zhenzhen to deal with him.

The cycle of reincarnation opened, and many dazed ghosts drifted inside. Even though their consciousness was incomplete, their souls were still filled with longing for rebirth.

Su Zhenzhen then took action to drive away the ghosts that were standing there dumbfounded.

The number of ghosts is visibly decreasing.

[Ding.]

A system notification suddenly came from my mind.

[Progression to full-time employment: 40/100]

No, Su Zhenzhen was completely bewildered. What had she done? How had she managed to successfully convert another wronged soul?

In an instant, all sorts of random thoughts flashed through Su Zhenzhen's mind.

A strange idea popped into my head.

Could it be that Xu Yu is among these fragmented souls?

Xu Yu was killed by his own father, and his body was dismembered and eaten after his death. How can this not be considered an injustice?

And it just so happened that he saw the full picture of the Hu family tragedy back then because of the new function in his sea of ​​consciousness.

In his view, Xu Yu's injustice was equivalent to the truth being revealed, so after his soul entered the cycle of reincarnation, the system determined that the soul transfer was successful.

Some people in the live chat shared this view.

[I think I just heard a notification sound. Who did the female lead save?]

[It should be Xu Yu among the ghosts who just entered the cycle of reincarnation; the system's judgment is definitely accurate. The organizers may be a bit stingy and unethical, but their technical skills are undeniably top-notch.]

Seeing that someone agreed with her guess, Su Zhenzhen stopped caring about the performance. Her priority was to send the good ghosts to be reincarnated, leaving only the bad ghosts.

Once the number of ghosts decreases, the situation should become clearer.

These countless ghosts are not all obedient; some of them dodge and push each other when Su Zhenzhen comes to drive them away.

Su Zhenzhen lost her temper and directly moved the Cycle of Reincarnation, circling it around the uncooperative ghosts like a ring toss.

No human or ghost is unafraid of the cycle of reincarnation; or to put it another way, no ghost can resist the attraction emanating from the cycle of reincarnation.

Generally speaking, after a person dies, the cycle of reincarnation will open briefly on its own next to the body, and most of the souls will enter it.

Those who hesitate even slightly, or are held back by worldly affairs, will miss the opening time of the cycle of reincarnation and become wandering souls in the mortal realm.

Wandering souls either slip into the cycle of reincarnation by clinging to the body of another who dies, or they wait for a guide to appear and reopen the cycle of reincarnation.

In another scenario, the departed soul carries the burden of karma, and the cycle of reincarnation rejects it.

Therefore, the remaining ghosts must all be ghosts with grievances. Generally, ghosts with grievances are prone to committing evil deeds because they cannot be reincarnated for a long time and harbor resentment.

Therefore, Su Zhenzhen bet that the ghost that had just attacked her would definitely not be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation. If that ghost could enter the cycle of reincarnation, it wouldn't matter, at least the hidden danger would be eliminated.

Soon, only twelve ghosts remained, huddled together, and during this time, the system did not indicate any increase in performance.

So, apart from one ghost whose causal connection was accidentally broken by Su Zhenzhen, the other ghosts are all wandering souls who missed the opening time of the cycle of reincarnation.

Su Zhenzhen closed the Cycle of Reincarnation and carefully examined the twelve ghosts. To be honest, these twelve ghosts were no different from other ghosts. They were all flawed, each one more ugly and unsightly than the last, with empty and dazed eyes.

Su Zhenzhen wondered if the ghost that had launched the sneak attack had already entered the cycle of reincarnation. Something felt off.

Ordinary little devils wouldn't dare to hurt people casually, and besides, they don't have the ability to do so.

"Hate life, squeeze some blood out of the wound."

Hensheng did as she was told. Su Zhenzhen had Hensheng hold the flashlight, dipped her index finger in his blood, and then chanted a spell as she pointed at each of the twelve ghosts.

"ah!"

"ah!"

All twelve ghosts let out screams of agony.

After Su Zhenzhen confirmed that these twelve ghosts were merely burdened with karma and did not possess much spiritual power, otherwise they would not have been afraid of Hensheng's blood, but would have been extremely excited instead.

When yang reaches its extreme, yin arises; when yin reaches its extreme, yang arises. Generally, ghosts fear pure yang blood, but for old ghosts with certain spiritual cultivation, pure yang blood is actually nourishing.

"When questioned by the underworld, report immediately! If you conceal anything, your soul will be condemned to the deepest hell, never to be reborn."

Su Zhenzhen pointed at them one by one again, and instantly a clear stream struck the depths of their souls, and their previously empty eyes began to focus.

"I am from Danfeng City, born in xx year..."

"You scoundrel..."

After hearing what the twelve ghosts said, Su Zhenzhen's relaxed heart instantly tightened again.

These twelve ghosts came from various parts of the Jiang Dynasty, and their birth dates happened to make up the twelve zodiac animals.

"Hensheng, it seems we've... fallen into a trap!"

Seeing cold sweat pouring down Su Zhenzhen's forehead, Hensheng also became worried.

"Zhenzhen, what do you mean? Why do you say we've fallen into a trap?"
