It had initially been hiding in the urn in the private room, and although it had sensed a powerful aura of its kind, it was nowhere near as strong as what it was experiencing now.
This feeling is like a kitten encountering a tiger, another feline. It's a suppression from the depths of its soul, and the ghostly aura that seems to come from the abyss of hell makes it feel even more uncomfortable.
Shi Long smiled and said, "Yes, I originally planned to keep to myself. After all, I'm not a good person. I'm just a small temporary worker. There's no need for me to kill every ghost I encounter."
After a pause, Shi Long suddenly stopped smiling, his face darkened, and he continued, "But you broke the rules first, killing someone on a train with so many people, causing me trouble. So don't blame me."
"He deserves to die!" The gaunt man suddenly became agitated and roared at us.
"He cursed me and hit me, and I could endure that, but he actually smashed my urn. If only I had a few more days, just a few more days, I could have been reborn. But he has ruined me so much that I am neither human nor ghost. If I don't kill him, who will I kill?" The gaunt man roared madly, but after he said these words, Shi Long's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"You actually willingly fell into the path of ghosts and transformed yourself into a ghost."
Hearing this, I was suddenly puzzled. To become a ghost with one's own body? What is that? Shi Long stared at him and continued, "Since ancient times, humans and ghosts have been on opposite sides. You actually dare to break the boundary and attempt to cultivate the ghost path, transforming your human body into that filthy ghost."
"So what? What's wrong with ghosts? They're not bound by birth, old age, sickness, and death, and they don't have to be oppressed by people. They're so free and easy."
The gaunt man's expression was almost manic.
Mei Li and Shui Yanling, who were standing nearby, both changed their expressions upon hearing his words, their thoughts unknown.
Shi Long sneered at these words, "Freedom? Have you ever thought about how many ghosts would rather give up this freedom and become human, but they can't cross the line between human and ghost, and they live in constant fear every day!"
"Humans are destined to be born, grow old, get sick and die. Who doesn't want to live a carefree life? Even ghosts have their own struggles. How dare you defile the boundary between humans and ghosts? You are not worthy of being human, nor are you worthy of being a ghost!" At this moment, Shi Long seemed to be extremely angry. His body was filled with the power of thunder, which swirled around him and made crackling sounds, just like a thunder god.
"Bullshit! I've never enjoyed the beauty of being human in my entire life. I was abandoned by my parents when I was a child, grew up picking up trash, suffered endless scorn, and had to endure the torment of illness. So what's so good about being human?" The gaunt man was now filled with ghostly energy, and two horns even sprouted from his head, making him look like a demon from hell in an instant.
The cage that had originally confined him now shone brightly, frantically suppressing his aura, but no matter how much it suppressed him, it was useless, as endless ghostly energy surged forth.
Shi Long looked at him with pity, as if he were looking at a dead object.
"Be careful, he has completely fallen. He has now completely abandoned his identity as a human being and turned into a killing machine without thoughts or feelings."
Shi Long spoke up to remind him.
Shi Long was always tense. If he were just an ordinary person or a ghost, he wouldn't be like this, because at least he would still have consciousness. But once he crossed the line between human and ghost, he could easily become neither human nor ghost, and sink into the killing emotions of a ghost.
At this time, his strength will also increase greatly, and he will have an extreme thirst for blood. He will kill anything, whether human, ghost or beast, and he will continue to kill if no one stops him.
Looking at the gaunt man's current appearance, I suddenly felt a sense of panic. I didn't even know what Shi Long meant by "turning a human into a ghost," but at this moment, I felt the threat of death.
Shui Yanling also looked somewhat nervous. The boundary between the human and ghost realms is absolutely forbidden to be crossed. Once crossed, it will incur the wrath of both humans and gods, and even this world will not tolerate it.
"Meili, protect them!" Shi Long took off his coat, and then his whole body trembled violently. His shirt underneath turned to ashes, revealing his muscular body, which was covered in coiled dragon-like muscles, with layers of lightning flashing from his muscles.
After receiving the order, Mei Li glanced at the ghost and seemed to hesitate for a moment, but she didn't hesitate for long before she flashed and floated in front of me and Shui Yanling.
If it were just the little ghost at the beginning, Shi Long wouldn't have needed to lift a finger; she could have easily dealt with it. But seeing the ghost's ever-increasing, dense ghostly aura, and considering her knowledge of the boundary between humans and ghosts, she understood.
She couldn't help at all right now; on the contrary, the ghostly energy was affecting the seal on her forehead. If the seal on her forehead were broken, things would probably become even more complicated, putting Shi Long at a greater disadvantage.
Shui Yanling felt a slight tightness in her heart when she saw the gaunt man whose aura was gradually rising. Although the gaunt man had degenerated into a half-human, half-ghost, he posed no threat to her.
These half-human, half-ghost beings are called ghost people, and Shui Yanling knows this too. Once someone becomes a ghost person, they will lose their intelligence and kill both humans and ghosts.
The boundary between humans and ghosts seems to be ordained by heaven and cannot be crossed. Anyone who tries to cross this path will surely suffer divine retribution.
Chapter Thirty-Five: Causality
Moreover, some of these are extremely significant causal relationships, as if there were only one thread connecting them in the dark. Such causal relationships are not something that ordinary people can bear.
Thinking this, Shui Yanling looked at me. She knew that some people had tried to cross this line of cause and effect and defy fate before, and that was why she was a little nervous.
