From a distance, a group of red-clothed female ghosts could be seen floating above, their fingernails pitch black, their boundless hatred surging.
A single glance would send shivers down one's spine.
Elder Tang looked at the women before him and was instantly reminded of the horror movies he had seen before, filled with supernatural events.
But these were different, entirely different from those depicted. Those were fictional, while this was real.
As Elder Tang was still in shock, he heard the Taoist priest's voice from behind.
"Zimu Sha?"
The Taoist priest exclaimed in shock.
Professor Lin and Elder Tang looked at him, puzzled.
"What did you say? What is Zimu Sha?"
Elder Tang was the first to inquire.
"Zimu Sha refers to the connection between a mother and child. What we just saw is an example of that, but it's not the most terrifying. After all, with the child's connection, the mother would still have some restraint."
"But this is different now. With the umbilical cord severed, these mothers have no restraint. Malevolent energy enters their bodies, leading to this situation. Among female ghosts, this is the most formidable kind."
The Taoist priest still remembered how tense his master had been when explaining this to him back then.
But that was just one instance; this was a whole group...
"So, it's very dangerous?"
The Olympic champion, having overheard, turned as pale as a corpse that had been dead for three days.
This was absolutely terrifying, exactly the situation he least wanted to face.
The biologist, historian, gymnastics champion, and architecture champion behind him, upon hearing this, were instantly stunned and instinctively retreated.
Even though they knew there was nowhere left to retreat, they had no other choice.
In the live stream.
"Holy crap, what's going on? I've seen ghost movies like this, but they never mentioned a whole group!"
"Damn it, if I ever wear a red dress again, I'm a pig. I'll never wear one again, no matter what. This is a nightmare."
"No, I'm never going to haunted houses again. This is a lifelong psychological scar. Can things like this really happen?"
"What should the boss do? These women all look at him differently, and they're all staring at him. Is he going to die?"
"Boss, run! Stop looking, or you'll die..."
The netizens watched Zhou Lin, wanting to warn him.
In the dean's conference room.
The dean and the other professors saw that the situation had changed. Previously, there were children and women, but the children had already been dealt with, leaving only the women.
But these women had gone mad...
How could there be layers upon layers of danger like this?
As atheists, their worldviews had been successfully shattered. This was beyond their comprehension.
"I told you, there are many things in this world that science cannot explain. You just didn't believe me. Now do you believe?"
The metaphysics professor was the only one in the archaeology department teaching an obscure subject, established solely for students' interests.
Looking at the scene before him, the metaphysics professor spoke with great excitement.
The other professors, hearing this, were no longer dismissive as before. They now looked at the large screen with solemnity.
Indeed, the world was not as simple as they had thought. Who could explain the scene unfolding before them?
Inside the tomb at this moment.
Zhou Lin watched as the female ghosts, emanating a bloody aura, stared at him with cold, murderous eyes.
Zhou Lin's expression was as calm as a monk's, but inside, he was panicking.
Damn it, what other horrors lurked in the digital interface? He couldn't handle this. Those eyes, those eyes that seemed ready to devour him...
No, no, he had to eliminate them in one move, no matter what.
But the items in the digital interface were overwhelming, making him dizzy.
"System, don't you have any good recommendations?"
Zhou Lin gave up searching and mentally queried the system.
[Ding, you can choose from the following options, all of which are the most effective defensive weapons.]
Zhou Lin's eyes lit up as he looked at the options.
There were several choices, such as "Lightning Summoning Technique," and what was that other thing? What was it called?
Holy crap, a treasure gourd.
Once opened, it would suck things in, but...
"Holy crap, System, are you crazy? How much do I have? And you're wasting it like this? These points aren't enough."
He had just used five hundred million, and now he only had five hundred million left. This was not enough.
[Ding, Lightning Summoning Technique is sufficient for redemption.]
The system then proactively recommended the Lightning Summoning Technique.
And it was successfully redeemed.
His points instantly dropped from five hundred million to less than ten million.
"System... I'll f*** you..."
Zhou Lin roared silently in his mind. A curse appeared in his mind. Fortunately, he still had that lightning-struck wooden sword from before.
It could still be of some use.
"Little friend Zhou Lin."
Elder Tang, seeing that the female ghosts had already attacked, shouted anxiously.
Zhou Lin's anger towards the system was now successfully transferred to the female ghosts.
It was all their fault that he had lost five hundred million points for nothing.
If the points from these women didn't add up to ten billion, he would burn all the children to make up the ten billion points.
Elder Tang and the others watched Zhou Lin's back, not seeing his anger.
But the netizens saw it.
"Holy crap, what's wrong with the boss? Why does he look so angry? What is he supporting?"
"That's a good question. I don't know either, but it's probably because of these female ghosts. But why did these female ghosts offend the boss?"
"I don't know. Anyway, the boss is not angry when he's not angry, but when he is angry, he's terrifying."
"You say that as if you've seen the boss angry."
"Don't you remember when the boss was angry, he was surrounded by flames?"
"Holy crap, I'd forgotten if you hadn't reminded me."
...
Just then—
The female ghosts, with their hair disheveled, simultaneously approached Zhou Lin with their sharp fingernails.
Zhou Lin was burning with rage.
"Heh... Good, come at me. If you don't make up for the points I lost, I'll make you disappear from this world."
Zhou Lin sneered, taking out the lightning-struck wooden sword, and began to chant.
Rumble...
A thunderous sound echoed from the cave ceiling.
The female ghosts, who had been full of killing intent, suddenly stiffened upon hearing the sound and looked up at the sky in disbelief.
