Horror revival: A ghost call at the beginning!
#177 - Chapter 177 Virtue: Diligence
Lin Yu led Yu Xiaogang, tearing through the Restraint Ghoul Realm, and arrived at the next level.
Here, was a dim and long rock cave corridor that seemed to stretch on forever.
The surroundings were filled with suffocating dampness, and a cold aura coiled around everyone like a snake.
In the faint light, one could see the damp rock walls shimmering with an eerie luster, like corpse wax, sending shivers down one's spine.
Upon closer inspection, the surface of the rock wall was densely covered with honeycomb-like holes, each containing a shriveled eyeball.
They stared straight at the group, as if telling of endless sorrow and curses.
Lin Yu's gaze was drawn to an ancient mural on the wall.
In the painting, a cultivator was naked from the waist up, whipping his body fiercely with a thorny vine, his expression painful and twisted.
Below this mural, a striking inscription was carved: "The Slothful Shall Forever Fall into the Ice Hell."
Looking around, scattered on the ground were some pale skeletons, lying quietly beside the stone wall in twisted and strange postures, as if they had been trapped and starved to death by some powerful force.
Beside these skeletons were some old pickaxes and other digging tools.
Clearly, someone had tried to use these simple tools to dig a way out and escape, but ultimately failed to do so.
At this moment, the Death Crow trio were standing at the end of the corridor.
There, were signs of digging.
"What's the situation now?"
Lin Yu went straight forward to inquire.
Obviously, to pass through this level of the Ghoul Realm, something had to be done.
Just like the Restraint Ghoul Realm on the previous level, eating the forbidden fruit.
Only, it was unknown what the situation was on this level.
"According to the content on the mural, this level should be Diligence, one of the Seven Virtues."
"And these people all died here because they weren't diligent enough."
"There is no way out here, only a way out, so we can only rely on our hands to dig a path."
"Only diligent labor can escape!"
Death Crow spoke out his guess.
"Seriously, the second level is mining?"
"Could there also be cotton picking?"
The Scarlet Duchess's mirror revealed the scene ahead.
It was an endless expanse of rock, of unknown depth.
"So, what do we do now?"
The Silent Nun wrote these words on the wall.
The mouth in her palm had already been re-muzzled, hidden away.
If the muzzle was not removed, no one would have imagined that there would be a mouth in her palm.
"It seems there's no other way, we can only dig a way out!"
Death Crow said, preparing to dig at the wall.
Lin Yu didn't expect that this level of the Diligence Ghoul Realm would be so boring, just letting people dig through the wall to escape.
What kind of diligence is this?
It should be called Diligent Redemption!
"I don't have time to watch you guys slowly dig here, I'll go to the next level of the Ghoul Realm first."
As Lin Yu spoke, the Ghost Eye's Ghoul Realm directly tore apart the corridor in front of him, revealing the Ghoul Realm leading to the next level.
Then he stepped into it, with Yu Xiaogang following closely behind.
Seeing this scene, Death Crow was dumbfounded, the Scarlet Duchess was stunned, and the Silent Nun looked at the muzzle in her palm, had her secret been exposed for nothing?
The three of them looked at each other, and Death Crow threw down the pickaxe and shouted.
"Wait for me! I haven't gotten on the bus yet!"
… …
Stepping into the next level of the Ghoul Realm.
What first came into view was the overwhelming white.
Whether it was the ceiling, the floor, or the walls, all were covered in this pure yet cold color, as if the entire world had fallen into an endless pale dream.
However, within this monotonous white, the only thing that could attract attention was the scene presented on the window.
In the picture, a wealthy man dressed in fine clothes and exuding an aura of wealth was handing a heavy money bag to a ragged beggar.
But unexpectedly, the seemingly pitiful beggar was hiding a sharp dagger in his tattered sleeve!
Beside this picture was also engraved a striking inscription: "Giving is the most dangerous gamble."
This sentence was like a lightning bolt cutting through the night sky, causing one to feel a chill.
Looking further ahead, one could see that this seemed to be an extremely spacious hospital room.
Inside the ward, five beds were neatly arranged, each with a haggard-looking patient lying on it.
Some had their eyes closed, as if asleep; others stared blankly at the ceiling, as if they had lost all hope for life.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of medicine and the aura of death, making one feel suffocated to the point of being unable to breathe.
Upon closer inspection, one would find exaggerated bloodstains on the bedsheets, these bloodstains forming an inverted cross.
Moreover, each patient's chest had been cut open, and their organs were immersed in a formalin jar next to the bed, the jar's label indicating the corresponding part.
Death Crow didn't rush forward this time, but looked at Lin Yu and asked.
"Minister Lin, you had the ability to tear apart the Ghoul Realm from the beginning, taking us directly to the next level, right?"
"That is to say, we didn't need to eat those apples that we didn't know what consequences they would have."
Death Crow's words also aroused the dissatisfaction of the Scarlet Duchess and the Silent Nun.
"That's right, although the apples were very juicy, who knows what unknown supernatural powers they contained!"
"Minister Lin, if you had said so earlier, we wouldn't have had to take the risk."
The Silent Nun didn't speak, but she touched the muzzle on her palm, obviously also very dissatisfied.
"First of all, I'm not your daddy, why should I help you?"
"We're just exploring together, if you're not capable, why are you blaming me?"
"If you keep yapping, believe it or not, I'll kill you all!"
"Now, go and continue solving the puzzles for me, don't force me to deal with you when I'm in the mood!"
Lin Yu didn't mean to explain at all, but instead had an arrogant attitude.
There was no way around it, if you don't act arrogantly with a cheat, wouldn't the cheat be wasted?
As the saying goes, it's no problem to be happy and chat with you if I'm in a good mood.
But if you try to take advantage of me, then it's your fault, that's courting death!
Death Crow stopped talking, the breathing under the raven mask became a little rapid.
However, he still endured it.
Because there was the example of the Human Skin Puppet before.
The Human Skin Puppet was a Ghost Controller of the same level as them.
But he was instantly killed by Lin Yu, and chased down eighteen times in a row!
He was chased down to hell, and even his soul was destroyed!
Now, he can even completely ignore the supernatural of the monastery, coming and going freely.
Such a terrifying person, the Death Crow trio weren't stupid, they could complain a little.
If Lin Yu really got angry and killed them, they would have no place to cry.
