Chapter 944 - Chapter 944 Chapter 944 The Game of the Grim Reaper

Chapter 944: Chapter 944: The Game of the Grim Reaper Chapter 944: Chapter 944: The Game of the Grim Reaper Just as Huang Xiaolong threw out a “Reveal” charm at the pitiable little girl, Ma Chuxia perfectly synchronized her actions and also threw out a charm.

The charm that Ma Chuxia threw had an effect similar to “Ghost Hitting the Wall,” which made it impossible for people going in and out of the supermarket entrance to see clearly what was happening on this side.

A flash of golden light.

The delicate and pitiable little girl suddenly transformed!

Her body was dripping with blood and gore, as if she had been soaked in formalin for over a decade, and her belly was as large as a water jar!

From her mouth, filthy drool dripped out.

It was a hungry ghost!

These things called hungry ghosts are quite cruel, and the particularly ferocious ones like to eat people.

“Hmph! You’re too mean! You won’t give me anything to eat!” the hungry ghost glared at Huang Xiaolong with hatred, its face completely distorted, the corners of its mouth curling into a bloodthirsty, ferocious smile, looking extremely famished.

“You, this hungry ghost, are indeed savage, but you are only at the level of a red-clothed fierce spirit. This supermarket has a huge flow of people every day, full of yang energy; I reckon you wouldn’t dare harm people here. I suspect it’s because of this painting, right?” Huang Xiaolong said with a cold smile.

At that moment, the hungry ghost “whooshed” into the painting and fled.

Huang Xiaolong split off a strand of consciousness, quickly following into the painting.

The consciousness of Huang Xiaolong arrived outside of a villa.

The architectural style of this villa was neither Huaxia nor European or American but was instead a standard Dongying island country style!

The entire villa emanated an extremely horrifying aura of resentment! It was as if an unknowable number of people had died inside the villa to accumulate such astonishing resentment.

“Heh~~” A contemplating expression flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes before he stepped into the villa.

The villa’s hall was very dimly lit, and the windows were covered with many scribbles; upon closer inspection, they were all characters from the Dongying island nation.

“Hmph! So, it was those beasts from the Dongying island nation causing trouble!”

Huang Xiaolong walked towards the dining area.

Upon entering the dining room.

The resentment there reached a peak, almost bubbling and boiling over with a strong stench of blood. The dining room’s walls were moldy, and fresh blood was constantly seeping through the cracks.

In a corner of the dining room, there was a pile of human skeletons and various shattered organs, as well as pitiful human heads. Undoubtedly, these skeletons were the people who had gone missing in the supermarket over the past half month. They had all been lured into the painting by the hungry ghost and were then eaten alive.

A group of hungry ghosts sat around the dining table, eyeballs bulging as they stared at Huang Xiaolong.

These hungry ghosts were all dressed as red-clothed fierce spirits and were also from Huaxia.

This seemed somewhat incongruous, a group of Huaxia hungry ghosts living in a Dongying island nation villa…

“Heh, you hungry ghosts have quite the nerve…” Huang Xiaolong sneered, his body bursting with golden light, his immense aura pressuring the group of hungry ghosts until their ghostly bodies creaked and groaned as if they could be scattered at any moment.

“Ah~~ No… don’t kill us… we… we… it’s not our fault~~” a hungry ghost pleaded tremulously.

“Hm?” Huang Xiaolong sneered.

“It was… it was a female ghost from Dongying… she gave us this painting… in the painting, there is a villa, along with the resentment it harbored…” the pitiful hungry ghost explained. “Ordinary Taoists won’t notice anything odd about this painting, and the resentment within it is so dense it doesn’t fear yang energy. We hide in the painting, luring living people in to eat them every day… And the more people that die in this villa, the more terrifying the resentment becomes… Here, we can also evolve into higher-level fierce spirits…”

“`

“A painting gifted to you by a Dongying female ghost?” Huang Xiaolong furrowed his brows slightly.

“Yes… yes, it was a Dongying female ghost who beguiled us into eating humans, otherwise, how would we dare to hunt for food right at the entrance of this supermarket…” One of the starving ghosts sobbed, as if it felt very wronged. “It’s all because of that Dongying female ghost…”

“Heh…” Huang Xiaolong chuckled sarcastically. “Where is this Dongying female ghost?”

“We don’t know…” Another starving ghost said. “However, it seems she has moved her villa to Zhengjiang City… This villa in the painting is drawn based on her home… All we know is that this Dongying female ghost’s name is ‘Kayako’…”

“Kayako?” Huang Xiaolong remembered the name, then pressed them further, but these starving ghosts indeed didn’t know much.

They only provided one useful piece of information–the Dongying female ghost Kayako had moved her residence, which was exactly the same as the villa in the painting, to Zhengjiang City!

Just by drawing a picture of her home, her resentment was this horrific. Then her actual home must be overflowing with resentment–a slight touch of it by the living would likely lead to death!

Huang Xiaolong had to find Kayako’s villa as quickly as possible and kill her.

Otherwise, countless innocent civilians in Zhengjiang City would suffer terribly.

Moreover, the more people that died in Kayako’s villa, the stronger the resentment would grow, and she would evolve even more powerful.

“This Dongying female ghost Kayako considers our Huaxia a place for leveling up… Humph!” Huang Xiaolong’s killing intent flashed wildly.

Next, Huang Xiaolong completely obliterated these starving ghosts. They had already consumed hundreds of people over the last half month – their sins were unforgivable, and they deserved more than death.

After getting rid of a bunch of starving ghosts, Huang Xiaolong committed to memory the resentment emanating from the villa in the painting. He believed that through these resentful energies, he would definitely find Kayako and her villa!

Swoosh~~~

A wisp of thought emerged from the painting.

Ma Chuxia hurriedly asked, “Little Long, have you found those missing people?”

Huang Xiaolong nodded at Ma Chuxia. “I found them, but only their remains–all of them have been eaten by the starving ghosts.”

“Ah~~~” Ma Chuxia lamented with sympathy.

At that moment, the content of the poster painting changed. It was no longer the interior of a restaurant, but the exterior of a villa.

The exterior of a villa in the architectural style of the Dongying islands.

“Um… Taoist Master Hong, right?” Huang Xiaolong waved over the person in charge of the Metaphysical Society’s Zhengjiang City branch, an elderly Taoist.

“Yes, yes, Mr. Huang, may I know what you would like…” Taoist Master Hong approached respectfully.

“Here, this villa on the poster, from now on, mobilize everyone to search for it! Search throughout Zhengjiang City, perform a carpet-style search!” Huang Xiaolong instructed.

“Yes, Mr. Huang, I understand,” Taoist Master Hong replied without hesitation, promptly taking out his phone to take several photos of the villa on the poster.

Ma Chuxia, Huo Bingyan, Qingqing, and Xiaohong also took out their phones and started taking photos of the poster.

“Husband~~ Is there a problem with the villa on the poster?” Huo Bingyan asked with a frown.

“That villa belongs to a Dongying female ghost who has relocated to Zhengjiang City; it’s filled with heavy resentment and devours people. If we don’t find it in time and kill the Dongying female ghost Kayako, there’s no telling how many more will die,” Huang Xiaolong explained quickly.

At that moment, Hu Haili and Min Yifei spoke with a face full of fear and trepidation. “Master… how… how are things…”

“Heh~~ Follow me,” Huang Xiaolong said, tearing the poster from the wall and heading straight towards the supermarket.

Inside the supermarket’s freezer.

“`

Huang Xiaolong shook the poster.

Rustling rustling~~~ Rustling rustling~~~

In an instant, a large number of human skeletons fell out of the painting. They were piled up like a mountain, a sight too dreadful to endure!

Some bloody skulls could still vaguely be identified, showing what the deceased had looked like while alive.

“Ah~~~~! These… these are… are the missing… the missing people…” Hu Haili let out a heart-wrenching scream. “All dead… all dead… all dead… all of them are dead…”

“I’ll leave the aftermath to you, handle it yourself,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile to Hu Haili. “Remember, 5 million, sent to my bank account.”

Having said that, Huang Xiaolong turned and walked away.

At this moment, Min Yifei, with a fawning face, ran up to him, eyes twinkling with anticipation. “Master, you really are a capable person! Amazing! Truly amazing! Well… Master, actually… actually I have some trouble too, and I’d like to ask for your assistance…”

“Oh? What do you need?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a sardonic smile as he looked at Min Yifei.

Huang Xiaolong knew that this guy was no good person, but such a small ant was not worth his concern.

“Master, I… I am the principal of Zhengjiang University… Our old campus has a sealed ghost building. However, in recent years, the seal seems to be failing… Students keep hearing creepy laughter from women inside the ghost building. They have even seen ghostly shadows drifting around… This has agitated everyone… Master, could you please take a look… Rest assured, money won’t be a problem~~” Min Yifei said with a greasy face.

“Oh… I’ll see when I have time,” Huang Xiaolong said with a playful smile, then sauntered off with his arm around Ma Chuxia and carrying Huo Bingyan. Qingqing and Xiaohong bared their teeth at Min Yifei before scurrying after Huang Xiaolong.

“Hmph!” Min Yifei watched Huang Xiaolong’s retreating figure with a woman on each side, a vicious and envious expression flashing in his eyes.

By the time they left the supermarket, it was past 8 o’clock.

Zhengjiang City at night was filled with the hustle and bustle of worldly prosperity.

But behind this tender-hearted city lurked the terrifying and inexplicable energies of resentment and malevolence.

“Honey, at night, Zhengjiang City seems even more filled with dark energies~~ Ah, we need to quickly clear out these fierce ghosts and various supernatural events here,” Huo Bingyan said, her sense of justice still intact.

Ma Chuxia said, “Little Long, I believe it must be those Dongying malevolent ghosts disrupting the order between our world and the yin world in Zhengjiang City, causing all the evil spirits and fierce ghosts to become restless. To restore peace to Zhengjiang City, we must eliminate all the Dongying malevolent ghosts hiding in this city, even those ghost messengers from the Dongying underworld!”

“Qingqing, Xiaohong, you two also go help find Kayako’s villa. Go now,” Huang Xiaolong instructed the two little monsters.

“Yes, Young Master, don’t worry, we’ll go find it right away, we’ll definitely be able to find it,” Qingqing and Xiaohong said, each of them very obedient.

Instantly, two demonic winds arose from the ground and whisked away into the distance.

“I could summon all the Huaxia evil spirits and fierce ghosts in Zhengjiang City. However, summoning Huaxia ghosts isn’t very useful, it is essential to find the Dongying malevolent ghosts,” Huang Xiaolong muttered to himself.

After all, he was just a ghost messenger from the Huaxia underworld and could not command the ghosts coming from the Dongying underworld. So, things were a little tricky.

Fortunately, Huang Xiaolong had previously clashed with Dongying malevolent ghosts, having killed “Hundred Eyes Ghost” and “Oni Gokko,” so he was familiar with the scent of Dongying malevolent ghosts. If any were nearby, he could accurately identify them.

Suddenly, Ma Chuxia spoke, “Little Long, didn’t you catch a ghost messenger from the Dongying underworld and refine it into your Thousand Souls Banner… How about, Little Long, you let that Dongying underworld ghost messenger search for the hiding Dongying ghosts in Zhengjiang City… After finding them, exterminate them directly! Scatter their souls! And ah, there’s also a Dongying female ghost called ‘Kayako’, find her for me!”

“Hahaha~~~ My clever little wife, that’s a good idea… I had forgotten about that,” Huang Xiaolong said with bright eyes upon hearing this. “Right! Let that Dongying underworld ghost messenger do the searching!”

After speaking, Huang Xiaolong found a secluded place and directly brought out the Thousand Souls Banner.

Using the language of the Dongying island nation, Huang Xiaolong commanded the ghost messenger inside the Thousand Souls Banner–“Lead the way, find the Dongying ghosts in this city… After finding them, kill them directly! Make their souls scatter! And, find me that Dongying female ghost called ‘Kayako’!”

“Yes!” The Dongying underworld ghost messenger inside the Thousand Souls Banner respectfully accepted the command. Now refined into the Thousand Souls Banner, the Dongying underworld ghost messenger had no choice but to obey Huang Xiaolong’s orders.

Hum~~~~~~!

The Thousand Souls Banner transformed into a sinister shadow of ghostly energy, sweeping out to reap the Dongying vengeful ghost hidden in Zhengjiang City.

After releasing the Thousand Souls Banner, Huang Xiaolong, accompanied by Ma Chuxia and Huo Bingyan, continued to stroll through the night. As they walked, Huang Xiaolong felt a little hungry, so he led Ma Chuxia and Huo Bingyan into a random restaurant on the street.

They had just sat down and hadn’t ordered yet when Huang Xiaolong’s gaze subtly shifted, looking towards a diner at the next table.

It was a man in his thirties, a chubby fellow who was engrossed in reading a poster he held in his hands.

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly; he could sense a faint wisp of ghostly energy emanating from the poster.

And this ghostly aura was unmistakably the essence of a Dongying vengeful ghost!

“Excuse me, could I take a look at that poster?” Huang Xiaolong asked the chubby man with a smile.

The chubby man glanced at Huang Xiaolong and then handed over the poster. “Just make sure to give it back to me after you’re done,” he said.

Huang Xiaolong unfolded the poster to look.

It was an advertisement for an event.

Tonight at 12 o’clock, on the top floor of the “Emperor Building” in Zhengjiang City, there will be an interesting event in the revolving restaurant.

The details of the event were as follows–

“We invite 99 volunteers to participate in the game

Each volunteer will receive a white candle

Then a host from the organizers will also join the game

That is to say, 100 people will join the game, each with a white candle, totaling 100 white candles

Next, everyone will take turns to tell a strange and terrifying tale that they’ve experienced, extinguishing a candle after each story

The 100th story will be told by the host, and when the last candle goes out, all participants in the game will receive a prize worth 200,000 RMB provided by the organizers.”

“Giggle, giggle~~ Honey, this game sounds so fun.” Huo Bingyan let out her giggling laughter as she looked at the content on the poster, her face full of interest.

“Are you done? If you’re done, hurry up and give the poster back to me~~” the chubby man at the next table said to Huang Xiaolong.

“Are you planning to take part in this game?” Huang Xiaolong returned the poster to the chubby man, asking with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

“Of course, I’m going! It’s just about telling ghost stories and blowing out candles–such an easy thing for a prize of 200,000. Only an idiot wouldn’t go!” the chubby man said with smug pride.

“Hahaha~~ then congratulations, you’re not far from death!” Huang Xiaolong mocked with laughter.

“Xiaolong, what do you mean?” Ma Chuxia asked with a curious look on her face.

“We’ve got some fun tonight,” Huang Xiaolong said in a hushed voice. “Later, we’ll also join this game… this game is probably concocted by a rather formidable Dongying vengeful ghost.”

“When the last candle is extinguished, all participants, except for the host, will instantly lose their souls… Ah~~ the so-called host is a dangerous Dongying vengeful ghost…”

“This Dongying vengeful ghost is even more powerful than the Hundred-Eyes Ghost and Ghost Ikko… The so-called game is also known as the ‘Game of Death’~~~ It’s hunting. But tonight, it will become my prey!”
