Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 778 Haunted by evil spirits
Recognized by whom?

Given by whom?

What difference does it make after having a name?
Wu Xian continued to ask questions, but Zhu Qipei kept silent and continued to cook, obviously not wanting to go deeper into the topic.

Lingji stood on tiptoe and raised her hand:

"Brother Zhu, I have a problem too!"

"You said this kitchen can only get ingredients from the deep dream, and you also said it's incredible that we can come out of the deep dream."

"Then it stands to reason that there should be a serious shortage of food in the kitchen, but from what I see there doesn't seem to be a shortage of food here."

Zhu Qipei stopped again and a meaningful smile appeared on his pig face.

"When you fall asleep in reality, your body is on the bed and your consciousness is in the dream. You exist in reality and in the dream at the same time."

"It's the same when you go from a shallow dream to a deep dream. You exist in two dreams at the same time."

"The difference is that your experiences in the shallow dream will not affect your body in reality, but your experiences in the deep dream will be reflected on your body in the shallow dream."

"Just like when you were injured in the womb of a starving ghost, the injuries are still there after you wake up."

Lingji nodded, not quite understanding.

"and then?"

“That’s it. This is where the ingredients for the kitchen come from.”

Lingji's delicate face gradually became distorted, and Wu Xian, who was listening on the other side, also changed his expression suddenly.

The two of them leaned against the wall and retched, almost vomiting bile.

They understood the implication of Zhu Qipei's words.

Since injuries can be brought back, if they become food in the womb of the starving ghost, those on the recliner in the shallow dream will also become food!

In other words, all the ingredients in this kitchen were transformed by people who had previously entered the deep dream and tried to obtain the ingredients!
Including the pig head soup they just drank!

The pig head in the soup pot might have been a human head a few days ago!
Zhu Qipei looked at Wu Xian and Ling Ji with disdain, and snorted.

"You don't have to be like that. This is a nightmare. It's completely different from the operating logic of the real world. That pig head has nothing to do with a human head. It's just a pig head."

"Besides, have you really never eaten humans in the real world?"

Wu Xian shook his head like a rattle.

“I’ve never eaten this before.”

"No, you have eaten it. Every meal you have eaten was cooked by someone. You have eaten not only the cooked food, but also a small part of the life of the cook. In nightmares, people become food, which is just a magnification of this process."

Wu Xian leaned against the smooth stainless steel wall and straightened his back: "Thank you for your comfort. According to this logic, I ate dog..."

Question marks popped up on Lingji and Zhu Qipei's foreheads at the same time.

But Wu Xian didn't bother to look at their expressions at this moment. The expression on his face became stiff, and his hands that were supporting the wall were trembling slightly.

The walls of the kitchen are made of shiny stainless steel, which makes the kitchen look cleaner and tidier.

But Wu Xian saw dirt on the steel plate!

I saw that inside the steel plate, on Wu Xian’s shoulders, there was something else riding!

This ghost thing was wearing white clothes and sitting astride Wu Xian's neck. Its thin green bare feet were crossed on Wu Xian's chest. Under its messy black hair, in its deep eye sockets, its black eyes without whites were looking at Wu Xian through the steel plate. Its dark purple lips sticking out a bright red tongue, and the tip of its tongue just touched Wu Xian's forehead!

Wu Xian cursed in a low voice.

No wonder he felt heavy after waking up!
Even though this female ghost was so thin that she looked unrecognizable, she still weighed at least several dozen kilograms. How could he not feel heavy with such a thing sitting on his neck?
Being ridden by a ghost is not scary, Wu Xian has a lot of experience in being ridden by a ghost. But what scared Wu Xian a little was that he had no idea when this thing came up!

While Wu Xian was anxiously thinking, Zhu Qipei had finished cooking.

The chicken feet and meatballs that originally looked very delicious turned into shriveled chicken feet and dry meatballs after his cooking. They were dry and looked dirty, which made them unappetizing.

"These are my extra rewards for you. If you have nightmare coins in the future, you can also buy them from me."

Wu Xian took the chicken feet and opened the certificate to read the introduction of the chicken feet.

Evil-transforming chicken feet: Chicken feet that contain the evil power in dreams. Within ten minutes after eating, they can slow down the speed of the mist escaping from the body.

He told Lingji the introduction of chicken feet, and Lingji shared with him the introduction of meatballs.

Evil-transforming meatballs: meatballs that contain the power of evil spirits in dreams. Within ten minutes of eating them, you can prevent yourself from absorbing the surrounding fog.

Their adventure in the hungry ghost's nest was not in vain.

This chicken feet and meatballs are very useful!
Once they wake up from the dream, the evil spirits born from the fog in the reality of the blessed land make it difficult for the family members to move.

With these chicken feet and meatballs, even though I can’t say that everything is smooth sailing, at least I can breathe a sigh of relief.

But Wu Xian was not most concerned about these two things at the moment.

He turned the certificate to the 'Curse' page, and sure enough, there was an additional curse on it.

Curse: Haunted by evil spirits!
After using the 'Mark of the World' to exorcise evil spirits, evil spirits will enter the body and the evil spirit will haunt it. This ghost will keep riding on the head of the loved one until the end of the blessed land. Except for the fairy-level purification-type worship props, no other method can expel the evil ghost.

Wu Xian's face looked slightly gloomy.

He knew that there would be negative effects after becoming a demon, but he was too badly injured at the time, so he never had a chance to check. He didn't expect that the so-called negative effect would be carrying a burden on his back that he couldn't get rid of!
But even if he knew the price, Wu Xian would still transform into an evil spirit.

Because he has no other choice.

……

After getting the pass and extra rewards.

Wu Xian and Ling Ji did not stay in the kitchen. They used their passes to open the door to the third floor and walked towards the mysterious third floor.

It was very tiring to carry a female ghost downstairs, and Wu Xian was panting after taking a few steps.

Therefore, Wu Xian activated the "Ghostly Power - Ghost Walk" and floated down the stairs with his toes an inch off the ground, which made things much easier.

After floating two layers, Wu Xian still felt it was not perfect.

So he sat cross-legged on the ground, with his toes pointing downwards as much as possible, and he actually succeeded in floating up, then walked down the stairs while sitting down. This way he didn't feel tired at all.

Lingji followed behind him and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

The few steps he took made him feel like a human being degenerating into a monkey...

Wu Xianpiao walked into the door on the third floor.

Then it appeared at the end of the corridor on the third floor.

The lights on the roof were on, indicating that it was already daytime in the Mystery Tower.

Wu Xian looked around vigilantly, but did not see the rent collector. Moreover, although the overall layout of this place was similar to that of the fourth and fifth floors, there were great differences.

The doors of the eight apartments on this floor were all open, and the air was filled with a faint smell of incense. On the door frame of each apartment, a yellow talisman of unknown meaning was pasted. From the open doors, the sound of chanting with strange accents and punctuation came out:
"I bow my head to heaven, earth and water, the compassionate Lord of the Three Officials. Your divine power and virtue are inconceivable. I sincerely pay my respects to you with all my heart..."
