Horror revival: A ghost call at the beginning!

#174 - Chapter 174 S-level evil spirit, seven deadly sins

At the end of the stone staircase was an altar.

A wave of cold air mixed with the smell of mildew rushed towards him. Lin Yu released his Ghost Domain, and within the scarlet domain, the figure of an old woman appeared.

The old woman held a lantern, the ghostly flames burning everything around her, also illuminating the altar.

The walls around the altar were densely covered with dried-up cultivator robes, each hood stuffed with a skull.

The eye sockets of those skulls were sealed with red wax, and the lower jawbones were forcibly fixed into upward-curving arcs, revealing a grotesque smile.

"This is the monastery's underground sanctuary, supposed to be the closest place to God."

The Death Crow said, his gaze fixed on the corner of the wall, where a pile of rusted standard-issue steel helmets lay, covered in bullet holes and claw marks.

Clearly, this monastery had experienced war.

At the altar, an inverted silver cross stood atop twelve marble steps.

Nailed to the cross was a mummified corpse wearing a Nazi uniform. The corpse's chest had been cut open, its ribs splayed outward like wings, and a rusty Spear of Longinus was stabbed into the location of its heart.

"This is the so-called Jesus, the ritual for awakening a Saint?"

"Such a way to control a vengeful ghost is truly eye-opening."

Lin Yu looked at the man on the altar.

The method of becoming a Ghost Controller within the monastery was evidently even more cruel than in the Haunted Dormitory.

They bound living people to the cross, imitating the resurrection of Jesus.

When the living person was on the verge of death, they released a vengeful ghost to enter the living person's body, allowing the living person to control the ghost.

Don't underestimate the will of a person on the verge of death.

The potential that a person can unleash when faced with a life-or-death crisis is beyond imagination!

This method of controlling vengeful ghosts was extremely radical.

It was unknown what the success rate was.

"Minister, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all?"

Yu Xiaogang was a little confused.

It felt like Lin Yu had a cheat, knowing everything.

He had been looking at the man on the altar for a long time, but he couldn't guess the reason for doing so. Was it purely to torture people?

"Thirteenth-century forging techniques, but the residue in the blood groove is... a mixture of formaldehyde and mercury."

The Death Crow stepped forward, lightly touching the hilt of the spear with his finger.

This Ghost Controller, suspected of being an alchemist, seemed very interested in these things.

Suddenly, the Scarlet Valkyrie's mirror reflected a scene. In the mirror world, the mummy on the cross was alive!

The officer bound to the cross slowly turned his head, his festering lips opening and closing as if to say something.

"The Saint ritual has succeeded. This guy has become a Ghost Controller!"

"The paranormal inside the mirror?"

Lin Yu glanced over, unimpressed.

"Okay!"

The Scarlet Valkyrie didn't refuse and agreed directly.

Immediately afterward, Lin Yu saw the Scarlet Valkyrie's figure become somewhat blurred.

However, within the mirror, she became more and more solid.

This woman also possessed the paranormal power of mirrors!

At the same time, the scene inside the mirror was no longer the altar, but a crimson castle!

The Scarlet Valkyrie was like the owner of this castle, an empress.

Inside the crimson castle, that vengeful ghost had no chance to resist and was directly imprisoned!

On the other side, the Silent Nun also discovered an anomaly.

In a corner of the altar, seven bronze coffins were covered by wide red cloths!

On the surface of the seven bronze coffins were engraved reliefs of different torture instruments.

The Iron Maiden, the Breaking Wheel, the Impalement Stake...

At the same time, the edges of the coffin lids were also engraved with the words of the Seven Deadly Sins!

"Are these paranormal items similar to ghost coffins?"

Lin Yu looked at the seven bronze coffins, making some guesses.

This trip was really worth it, an eye-opener.

These coffins could be taken back for Yu Dagang to study.

Of course, before that, he needed to deal with any vengeful ghosts that might exist inside.

"Minister Lin, what are you doing!"

The Death Crow suddenly exclaimed.

"What am I doing? Of course, I'm opening the coffins and cleaning up the vengeful ghosts inside!"

Lin Yu said with a straight face.

"Wait, if there are vengeful ghosts inside these coffins, we need to discuss how to deal with them..."

Before the Death Crow could finish speaking, Lin Yu had already lifted the lids of the coffins.

The speed was astonishing!

The seven bronze coffins opened simultaneously, and asphalt-like black mist poured out.

Lin Yu saw that each coffin contained a curled-up, half-melted corpse.

Those corpses wore clothing from different eras: medieval chainmail, military uniforms, modern mountaineering gear...

It seemed that people from different periods had been pulled into the coffins.

Lin Yu didn't waste any time, directly sweeping the seven corpses, instantly collecting them all.

The system's prompts also sounded one after another, proving that these seven corpses were all vengeful ghosts.

Finally, the system even prompted the merging of paranormal puzzle pieces. Lin Yu quickly confirmed!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully collecting the paranormal puzzle piece, Lust!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully collecting the paranormal puzzle piece, Gluttony!]

[Ding! Detecting mergeable paranormal puzzle pieces, merge now?]

[Ding! Paranormal puzzle pieces merged successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the S-rank vengeful ghost, Seven Deadly Sins!]

"Seven Deadly Sins?"

Lin Yu's eyes lit up.

These were well-known sins. He didn't expect that there were corresponding vengeful ghosts!

Lin Yu felt it for a moment. The paranormal power of the Seven Deadly Sins was simple and direct, corresponding to the seven desires of people!

Once these seven desires were triggered, one would suffer a deadly paranormal attack!

How could ordinary people resist this?

Who doesn't have any desires?

However, the creator of this monastery was also quite capable.

He had actually dismembered the Seven Deadly Sins, dividing them into seven individual paranormal powers.

Adding these seven coffins, one could imagine that the person behind them had great ambitions!

But now, it had all benefited Lin Yu!

Moreover, the paranormal power of the Seven Deadly Sins could also affect vengeful ghosts.

Lin Yu was a little curious.

What would a vengeful ghost affected by Lust become, a lustful ghost?

On the side, the Death Crow was dumbfounded, occasionally exchanging glances with the Scarlet Valkyrie and the Silent Nun.

As if to say.

"Did he control the vengeful ghosts?"

"Is he still human?"

"Compared to him, what are we doing painstakingly controlling vengeful ghosts!"

At this moment, the three of them had their "Dao hearts shattered"!

They had all gone through countless hardships to control vengeful ghosts.

Especially the Silent Nun, she came from the Seventh Bureau of Archives, a hellish official institution.

This was a group of crazy institutions specializing in the study of Ghost Controllers, backed by the freest and most peaceful country.

In reality, they were capturing civilian Ghost Controllers everywhere.

To study the vengeful ghosts on them.

And this research process was very cruel.

One could refer to those institutions in movies and TV shows that capture superpowered people.

And reality would only be more cruel than in movies and TV shows.

The Silent Nun had grown up in such an organization.
