It looks like the face has been disfigured by a fire; the original skin is no longer visible.
Even stranger, there were several finger-sized dents on both cheeks.
When people see her appearance, most will unconsciously think, "How ugly!"
From above, Cui Lingxi looked down and saw those gazes, and knew what these people were thinking.
She turned to Bai Shouyi beside her and whispered, "That person isn't downstairs, is he?"
Bai Shouyi replied softly, "He didn't come."
"So, we'll do it the same way as before?"
"Um."
Cui Lingxi turned her head to look down, her expression unusually cold.
"Allowing you to enter the eerie scene is a benefit that Xing Lianbai has given you; you don't need to be grateful."
All you need to do is strictly abide by the rules and obey orders. Anyone who disobeys will face consequences; don't blame me for being ruthless.
More than a hundred ghost hunters looked at her, and many of them felt dissatisfied.
I thought to myself, "You're a young woman, and you're so ugly, what are you pretending for?"
But considering the power she represented, no one dared to openly contradict her.
Cui Lingxi looked around and, seeing that no one spoke, a mocking smile appeared on her lips.
Compared to her, Bai Shouyi seemed much gentler, at least on the surface.
Bai Shouyi looked down at the crowd and said slowly, "You are all senior ghost hunters selected from the various branches of Xinglian. On behalf of Xinglian Alliance, I welcome you all."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sparse round of applause broke out in the room.
The forces in various regions have long been violently incorporated into Xinglian, and everyone knows that Xinglian has powerful backing, so they still have to give them the respect they deserve.
Bai Shouyi smiled slightly and continued, "Before you came here, you must have known that the eerie scene is a special place with many unimaginable benefits."
For example, there are strange artifacts, strange objects, spiritual medicines, high-level strange phenomena, or some magical opportunities. Being able to come here means that you have the chance to gain benefits.
But I must tell you, this was achieved at the cost of many fellow monster hunters.
Originally, this opportunity wasn't offered casually, but since you've already joined Xinglian and are now part of it, we've given you this chance.
But let me make this clear: there are immense benefits here, but also unpredictable dangers. For everyone's safety, everyone must follow instructions and obey the rules; otherwise, you will be expelled.
The scene was very quiet; no one expected the rules to be so strict.
The ghost hunters, who are used to lording it over others in other places, are bound to feel uncomfortable being managed here.
However, no brainless idiots stood up to oppose it, after all, only a fool would stick his neck out on someone else's turf.
Bai Shouyi nodded slightly, satisfied with everyone's reaction.
"We've already explored part of the area and identified some patterns. Next, I'll tell you about some things to be aware of here..."
He paused abruptly at this point.
Bai Shouyi frowned and turned to look in a certain direction, and everyone present followed his gaze.
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere and rushed toward the spatial rift at great speed.
It seems to want to enter the human world through the crack.
As the figure drew near, several black-clad guards nearby suddenly attacked together, as if they had been prepared.
Several dazzling and unpredictable spells were unleashed, hitting the figure directly and sending him flying five or six meters away.
It fell to the ground with a thud.
Only then did everyone realize that it was a man covered in blood and with a disheveled face.
The man looked at the guards who were closing in, his face filled with despair.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Don't believe him..."
