Hahaha, who posted this? It sounds so real, with its talk of Yin Shou and weirdness types. How interesting.
Damn, this guy is telling the truth. I actually encountered a terrifying weirdness in Lighthouse Country, it was a doll...Bro from Lighthouse Country upstairs, it seems you encountered a parasitic spiritual entity weirdness, just like the original poster (host) said!
No, are you guys going to turn this forum into a containment facility too? Interesting, count me in!
...
100 points, equivalent to about 1 yuan in currency in various countries, or by recruiting a few people and completing a few tasks. Therefore, after Chu Qing's high-quality long post appeared, many people clicked on it. However, at first, most of them were just curious thrill-seekers who stumbled upon it. As the post went viral and reached the front page, special accounts quickly appeared, and the replies were full of subtle meaning.OP, do you know something? King Chujiang? Are you also from Dragon Country?
Your Excellency King Chujiang, do you have contact information? Can we discuss via private message?Host, I've sent you a private message, please reply!Opener, I'd like to ask, how can humans fight these damned things?
Friend, I am "Count Purgatory", a director of the Hell Society. I sincerely invite you to join the Hell Society as the representative figure for Dragon Country. We have sent you the benefits of joining the society via backend message! Please consider it carefully!
No, why are these people upstairs acting like this is real?
Hell Society? What kind of organization is that? Are they really setting up a representative in Dragon Country?
...
Seeing this, Chu Qing also became interested and opened the backend. As expected, it wasn't long before the backend was flooded with over 99+ private messages. This also indicates that the House of Strange Tales has indeed become very popular worldwide. Perhaps for this reason, the House of Strange Tales will become the so-called "official forum" in the future.
Chu Qing opened the first private message, which was from someone claiming to be a director of the Hell Society. He actually knew about this Hell Society. Although he hadn't heard of this "Count Purgatory," the name Hell Society was quite significant, and it was even rumored that the founder of the House of Strange Tales had ties to the Hell Society. Of course, after the House of Strange Tales completely became a house of strange tales, the founder's identity would be meaningless.
The later Hell Society was a very famous Ghost Controller organization worldwide in his previous life, with strength comparable to some small national-level Ghost Controller forces. To think that these guys already had this scale before the Era of Terror arrived? However, in his previous life, he didn't interact much with them, and Dragon Country was always an area the Hell Society never entered. As for the treatment and conditions they offered, they were even less worth mentioning. These people now, even knowing about the existence of weirdness, are more often trying to recruit with worldly currency. This is of no use to him.
However, considering the formidable power of the Hell Society in his previous life, an existence that even ordinary First-Grade King-level Ghost Controllers would not dare to offend, Chu Qing still replied. Most of the rest were inquiries about specific details of confronting weirdness. After glancing at them, Chu Qing casually answered a few.
Just as he was about to leave, his gaze suddenly sharpened. In his post, which had already reached several hundred replies, a line of Dragon Country text clearly caught his eye:
"Host, I'm in Yingcheng, Zhongyuan Province, and I've encountered a strange event! After I walked out of the bathroom, it seemed like I was the only person left in the city. I'm so scared..."
Seeing this person's opening, Chu Qing decisively clicked on their private message:
"Tell me your current situation."
"Wuwuwu, Host! Help!"
"Don't rush, explain specifically what happened."
"I really don't know! I usually like these supernatural things. Last night, I saw something about a Boundary Breaking Ritual. I set up candles and incense in front of the bathroom mirror at midnight, and after twelve, it was said that you could enter another world. Then I tried it. I didn't find another world, but the entire world was left with only me! Wuwuwu, help!"
Looking at the replies in the chat box, Chu Qing's eyelids twitched. Things like the Boundary Breaking Ritual were pure nonsense. But mirrors, in the Era of Terror, were definitely one of the most terrifying things. In the twenty years of the previous Era of Terror, besides secret realms, there were some special permanent weird worlds. One of them was the Mirror Realm. Mirror Ghosts and all sorts of weirdness based on the principles of light refraction existed in mirrors. In the reflected mirror world, a world almost identical to the real world was formed. Clearly, the person in front of him had probably entered the Mirror Realm without knowing the consequences.
However... Although the Mirror Realm is dangerous, its value is quite good! If nothing else, that large piece might be useful as a "trap" for capturing mirror-type weirdness. Moreover, it seems that some Underworld Artifact puzzles also require fragments from the Mirror Realm. Most importantly, it's not far from him. The distance from Luocheng to Yingcheng, the Provincial Capital, is not far, only a hundred kilometers. Such a distance, a round trip, would not be difficult even after the Era of Terror had descended.
Thinking of this, Chu Qing no longer hesitated and directly asked:
"Send me your name and specific address. I'll come over when I have time! My suggestion is, wait until twelve o'clock tonight, go back to the mirror and repeat the same actions to see if you can get out."
"Okay, great one, my name is Zhāng Hè, and I'm currently in Yulong Residential Area, Yingcheng..."
After noting this down, Chu Qing browsed through the other posts in the House of Strange Tales again. It had to be said that with the increase in weird events over the past month, even in Dragon Country, many people had come over the wall to post on the House of Strange Tales. Chu Qing indeed saw quite a few weird events that had occurred within Dragon Country.
However, most of them held no appeal for him. Their potential was generally average. But it made sense. For something like the Blood-Eyed Dragon Lord, a truly terrifying weirdness that would take a life the instant its nascent form triggered its rules, there wouldn't be much chance to escape. For those weird entities with outstanding talent and powerful abilities, the number of survivors would be small, and thus the number of people posting online would naturally not be many.
Thinking of this, Chu Qing glanced at the sky outside, which had once again become dim without his knowing, and finally stood up, exhaling a breath. Still the same two white porcelain bowls. Chu Qing calmly raised his knife again. Third time! Although it was only a small bowlful, bleeding like this for two consecutive days was indeed a bit much. But it should be almost enough, right?
According to Dīng Xié, he should have completely summoned the blood-related inscription in Death Apartment around three months after the Era of Terror began. And with the method left by the blood inscription, he managed to capture about five or six weird entities. That's quite a lot; Dīng Xié is indeed not an ordinary person.
Gravediggers hunting weird entities almost always dance on the tip of a knife, risking death. Only by enraging the weird entity, luring it into their own tomb, and using Tomb Ghosts to subdue it is possible. They don't have methods like Chu Qing's.
Chu Qing is on his third attempt. Although the number of times is fewer, his preparation is more thorough. By mixing his own blood with Yin energy, it's easier to attract weird entities.
"Drip-"
"Drip-"
A drop of crimson flowed into the bowl again. Yin energy, water, and cinnabar were slowly mixed. This time, Chu Qing did not use his finger but picked up a brush from the side. On the glass door, new blood-red text was slowly branded:
"Name: Huáng Hóng (Half-Ghost)"
"Grade: Unranked - Ninth Grade"
"Location: Luocheng"
"Target: Investigate the weirdness around Huáng Hóng, eliminate or subdue it, and simultaneously kill or arrest Huáng Hóng."
"Commentary: Who says demons disturb the human heart? The evil of the human heart surpasses that of ghosts and spirits."
"Ordered by King Chujiang, Chu Qing."
After writing all this, Chu Qing slowly stood up. The sky was getting dark earlier and earlier. At five o'clock, even in winter, the sun wouldn't set. Today, for some reason, it was already pitch black. This night is a hunting ground where hunters and prey compete.\n\n
