Qionghai Town is an impoverished town located on the edge of the desert.
Before the apocalypse, there were only two or three thousand permanent residents here. After the strange event occurred, most of them died or were injured, leaving only a few hundred people.
However, thousands of people now reside here, making it much more prosperous than before the apocalypse.
This is clearly not normal.
Above the town, a crack several hundred meters long and several tens of meters wide runs from north to south.
One end of the crack is high in the sky, while the other end is on the ground.
It's like a giant spindle-shaped object, slanted into the ground at an angle of about forty-five degrees.
Grayish-white smoke filled the crack, and the townspeople could vaguely see a cluster of buildings inside if they looked up.
It appeared to be a dilapidated city.
At the point where the crack meets the ground, more than a hundred ghost hunters have gathered. They are either members of the Xinglian Alliance or ghost hunters selected by the Xinglian Alliance from various places.
They are currently queuing up, waiting to enter the crevice.
Around the crack, more than twenty people dressed in uniform black surrounded it; they were guards arranged by Xinglian to guard the area.
They are responsible for guarding the entrance to the eerie scene and checking the information of those entering.
Supervisor Bai Shouyi held up his phone and showed the photos to the other guards.
"Remember this person. If you spot him, be sure to notify me immediately."
The guards glanced at him and all felt he looked familiar.
Someone asked softly, "Isn't this the professional charlatan who almost wiped out the Wang and Xiao families?"
"Shut up, just know it, don't say it out loud."
Bai Shouyi gave a low reprimand, then said, "Start letting people in, but keep a close eye on them."
After he finished speaking, the guards began letting people into the crevice.
Before entering, you will be asked for basic information.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Dongtianfu."
The guard looked at the young man in front of him; he was handsome and had a sunny disposition, but he wasn't the person the supervisor was looking for.
He then asked, "How many contracted spirits do you have, and what is the highest level?"
The young man pointed to the figure beside him, "There's only one fierce and sinister one, and that's the one next to me."
The guard then noticed that there was a very ordinary, inconspicuous woman standing next to him—no, she should be called a female ghost.
The guard looked her up and down, his face full of suspicion. "You, this female ghost, have no eerie aura at all. You look more like a human."
The young man smiled and explained, "She possesses a kind of concealment magic that allows her to appear human."
The guard nodded and stepped aside to make way. "Go in. Remember to follow the rules and obey orders."
The young man, accompanied by his female ghost, stepped into the enormous crevice.
It was as if I had walked through a fog, taken more than ten steps, and then suddenly found myself in a bright and clear place.
A small town appeared ahead, shrouded in gray smoke, making it difficult to see clearly; only the outlines of buildings could be discerned.
At the same time, several screams or strange roars could be faintly heard.
The young man entered the eerie scene through the crack and began to examine his surroundings.
Near the entrance was a temporary camp with hundreds of military green tents and trash everywhere.
There were also a lot of daily necessities piled up around, such as instant noodles, bottled water, canned meat, etc.
It's clear that the Xinglian people have been exploring this area for some time.
At this moment, a guard in black nearby spoke up to remind them: "Newcomers, go wait to the side. After everyone else comes in, the two supervisors will speak to you, and then you can go inside to explore."
The young man nodded and led the female ghost to the side.
"How interesting! I don't know why, but I'm a little excited. It's been a long time since I've experienced this feeling."
"That's because you've never experienced a max-level pro pretending to be a newbie. Let me tell you, it's incredibly fun. But you'd better keep up the act and don't give yourself away."
"Rest assured, my lord, only the King of Demons can see through my illusions."
These two people were none other than Xia Tianqiong and the Ghost Bride, but they had both changed their appearances.
Xia Tianqiong used a scare tactic to transform himself into a handsome and sunny young man.
The Ghost Bride, on the other hand, transforms into an ordinary woman, and she also possesses a magical ability.
It can reduce her presence and make others automatically ignore her.
It's not that I can't see her, it's just that I subconsciously feel this woman is very ordinary and I don't want to pay attention to her.
Xia Tianqiong brought the Ghost Bride to explore the eerie scene, initially intending to wipe out the Xinglian people.
Then, relying on Xiaotao's formidable strength, she directly and violently explored the eerie scene, killing people and monsters alike.
Upon closer reflection, I realized that this was neither fun nor engaging.
Besides, he had promised to accompany the ghost bride on her travels around the world, so naturally he wanted to find some interesting things to do.
So he decided to hide his identity and suppress his strength, and explore the strange scenes as an ordinary ghost hunter.
When Xia Tianqiong saw the crack outside, he realized that the strange scene here was not the one he had been looking for.
That's why I felt at ease and explored the scene with a playful attitude.
About ten minutes later, all the ghost hunters had entered.
Xia Tianqiong scanned the crowd and found that there were about 150 or 160 people, mostly men and mostly young or middle-aged.
The group stood in the center of the camp, a chaotic scene.
Suddenly, two figures appeared out of nowhere in the air, and the scene fell silent.
Everyone looked over and saw a young man and a young woman.
The young man was dressed in a suit and tie, wearing frameless glasses, with his hair neatly combed, exuding an aloof and arrogant aura.
The young woman was dressed in exquisite designer clothes and had a good figure, but her face was extremely strange.
