Jiuhua City was plunged into panic.
Many people are staying at home and afraid to go out.
Last night, a series of horrific incidents occurred in the city, resulting in numerous deaths.
The authorities initially tried to cover up the news.
But in one particular neighborhood, tens of thousands of people vanished en masse, leaving the area like a ghost town. This situation was impossible to conceal, and numerous rumors spread rapidly.
The military and police cordoned off that area, preventing anyone from getting close.
Similar situations are not limited to Jiuhua City, but are occurring all over the world.
It was as if overnight, the world had fallen into some kind of crisis.
Xia Tianqiong teleported away from Starry Night Square, found a breakfast shop that was still open, ate some soy milk and fried dough sticks, and then found a secluded corner to enter the Mirror Space.
He hadn't slept all night again, so he planned to take a nap until evening and then use Shadow Teleport to travel back to Lin'an City.
Jiang Yu was still helping him acquire survival supplies, and the deal with Song Shiqiao was not yet completed, so he had to go back there.
The mirror space has changed dramatically. Before coming to Jiuhua City, it was a row of hotel rooms. After the bronze mirrors were replaced, it became a courtyard with Hui-style architecture, simple yet exquisite.
Xia Tianqiong replicated eight distinctive courtyards and an ancient street in the Ghost Realm, connecting them together.
If he wanted, he could even replicate the entire ancient town here.
That would be too wasteful of ghost money and completely unnecessary; he wouldn't need such a large space anyway.
Upon entering the mirror space, they saw Huang Yu's broken body lying on the bluestone ground.
Surprisingly, he was still alive. Upon seeing Xia Tianqiong enter, Huang Yu gave a bitter smile.
However, only half of her face was visible; the other half was a bloody mess, revealing her facial muscles and exposed molars, making her smile somewhat terrifying.
"How come he's still not dead?"
Xia Tianqiong was very surprised. Huang Yu's face was not only damaged, but the left half of her body was also missing.
The lungs, intestines, spleen, stomach and other internal organs had all spilled out and were severely damaged. Such injuries should have caused immediate death.
But she's still alive.
The delivery ghost, standing to the side, quickly explained, "Master, when you brought her in, she was already dying. I think you intended to revive her, so you took it upon yourself to feed her the Netherworld Delivery."
As you know, if a human ingests a large amount of Netherworld power in a short period of time, they could potentially become a monster. Although the probability is very small, this is the only possibility to save her.
Xia Tianqiong stared at Huang Yu in astonishment. "What? You actually turned her into a monster?"
"It was my presumptuous decision to act; please punish me, Master."
The delivery dog thought Xia Tianqiong was blaming it, so it quickly lowered its head and bent over, looking like it had done something wrong.
The shop assistants who were watching the commotion all looked on with schadenfreude.
They had previously advised it not to make decisions for its owner, but it wouldn't listen and insisted on saving the woman.
Now look what's happened! The owner is scolding it; let's see what it does now!
"I'm asking you a question. Is she acting strangely now?"
Xia Tianqiong frowned and continued to ask questions.
The delivery ghost lowered its head even further. "She was lucky and had a strong will. She survived the most dangerous stage and is now in the final stage of transformation. As long as we continue to input the power of the underworld into her, she will be able to successfully become a ghost."
"It's still a work in progress!"
Xia Tianqiong seemed lost in thought, recalling memories of her previous life.
When the supernatural descends, people suffer. Some, unable to survive, deliberately consume ghost money or supernatural corpses, hoping to become supernatural themselves and continue living as supernatural beings.
The probability of it turning into something bizarre is very small; according to official estimates, the success rate is less than one in 100,000.
However, any strange creature that can be successfully transformed has strong development potential and its upgrade speed is much faster than that of strange creatures from the ghost realm.
Xia Tianqiong suddenly wanted to try cultivating such a strange creature.
"You truly are the first weirdo to be with me."
He patted the delivery guy on the shoulder and gave him a gentle smile. "You did a great job. I'm very satisfied!"
The deliveryman was filled with panic, not knowing what kind of punishment he would receive.
To its surprise, its owner patted it on the shoulder and praised it.
Overjoyed, he straightened his back and smiled, "It is my duty to think what my master hasn't thought of and to be anxious about what my master isn't anxious about."
"Hahaha!"
Xia Tianqiong was amused by its appearance and laughed, "If you were to enter the workplace, you would definitely climb the ladder the fastest. Being a delivery guy is a waste of your talent. You should be a workplace guy!"
"Master is right!"
The delivery guy is particularly good at flattering people, and he does it quite well.
The mirror ghost pretended not to see anything; it was used to it. But the eight waiters were disgusted.
Although they also recognize a master and obey unconditionally, they still can't bring themselves to shamelessly flatter like a delivery guy.
Xia Tianqiong took out several kinds of special fruits from the ghost realm from the gifts given by the bank and handed them to the delivery ghost.
"This is a reward for you!"
"Thank you, Master."
"I'm leaving her to you. Make sure you transform her into a monster. I'm going to get some sleep. Don't bother me."
Xia Tianqiong gave a brief explanation and was about to leave when she thought for a moment and then bent down next to Huang Yu.
"Don't worry, you won't die. You will live on in this world in another way. Perhaps from now on, you will achieve something different."
Bloody tears streamed down Huang Yu's face. She opened her mouth as if to speak, but her tongue was mutilated and she couldn't make a sound.
Xia Tianqiong knew what she was going to say.
"No need to thank me, I said I would save your life. From now on, follow me, and your good days are just beginning."
