"No way, no way, we've been discovered?"
"Xu Nan clearly changed his appearance, and you found him?"
Seeing the giant ghost stop, the viewers in the live stream couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety.
How to describe this feeling...
It was like watching a spy thriller, where Xu Nan and his team were undercover agents.
If they were discovered, wouldn't they be walking into a tiger's den, surrounded by a nest of ghosts?
Moreover, this giant ghost looked like it wouldn't be easy to deal with.
At least a leader-level figure?
"One or two ghosts are fine, but there are so many of them... I'm starting to worry about Xu Nan and the others."
"Please, please, don't let them be discovered, hurry up and walk past."
"Holy crap... this is so exciting!"
...
Under the watchful eyes of the viewers, in the live stream footage—
After stopping, the giant ghost narrowed its eyes.
It looked at Xu Nan and the robotic sphere, sniffing the air.
"Your scent... is very unfamiliar."
Instantly, the air fell silent.
All the ghosts on the rocky platform turned their gazes towards Xu Nan and the robotic sphere.
Their eyes held appraisal and suspicion.
The grave ghost quickly explained, "Brother Qing, these two are new. I brought them here to show their faces."
"Why aren't you quickly greeting Brother Qing?!"
The latter part was directed at the two little ghosts.
The robotic sphere and Xu Nan bowed obediently, "Greetings, Brother Qing."
Brother Qing narrowed his eyes, scrutinized them, and nodded.
He turned and continued walking forward.
Gradually leaving the rocky platform, he headed straight towards the tallest cave ahead.
Upon reaching the cave entrance, he raised his hand and tapped the air.
As if knocking on a door.
"Come in," a voice from inside granted permission.
The giant ghost called Brother Qing then walked in.
The moment it entered, the small flying sphere released by the robotic sphere rushed forward and brushed against the barrier.
The force was like that of an insect.
It didn't attract the attention of the ghosts inside.
...
As soon as Brother Qing disappeared, the ghosts on the rocky platform collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
They relaxed their tense bodies and began to whisper amongst themselves.
The grave ghost also instructed the two little ghosts, "Be more alert in the future, don't always make me remind you."
The robotic sphere asked curiously, "Brother, is that Brother Qing our boss?"
Before the grave ghost could reply, the mosaic-like soul-calling ghost, who had returned, casually said:
"How could that be? The boss lives within that barrier."
"Brother Qing is the boss's most capable subordinate."
As soon as he finished speaking, the soul-calling ghost's head was slapped.
The grave ghost said, "Did I tell you to answer?"
Didn't you hear them call him "Brother"? Are you "Brother"? Why are you jumping in to answer?
The soul-calling ghost: *Feeling wronged.jpg*
The grave ghost looked at the honest-looking robotic sphere and said:
"Although Brother Qing isn't the boss, his strength is top-notch within the organization."
"So, you must show him respect when you see him, or you might lose your life!"
At this moment, the small flying sphere released by the robotic sphere quietly returned and nestled into its clothing.
While smiling and nodding to the grave ghost, the robotic sphere said, "We'll listen to you, Brother."
And under Xu Nan's cover, it read the data brought back by the small flying sphere.
"Ah... so that's how it is..."
It looked at Xu Nan, "It's just a barrier at the Youbing realm. No wonder it's only large enough to cover one cave."
Xu Nan asked, "Are you sure?"
The robotic sphere looked at the cave at the very top, "About ninety-nine percent sure."
The remaining 0.1 percent was reserved for error.
Xu Nan carefully estimated, "To reach the Youbing realm is quite impressive. However, for a ghost at this level to maintain such a long-lasting barrier, they must have used some kind of ghost artifact or ghost tool."
Ghost tools are refined from various equipment.
Ghost objects are divided into two types: one is formed after a ghost dies.
The other is when a ghost possesses an object.
Here, it refers to the former.
A powerful ghost, upon death, can form a ghost object whose effects can be comparable to ghost tools.
However, ghost objects have higher uncontrollability.
There's a risk of backlash if one isn't careful.
"You guys..."
The grave ghost looked at the two little ghosts in front of it, "What are you muttering about?"
Why couldn't it understand?
The soul-calling ghost was also confused, "Youbing? Ghost tools?"
It had never even heard of these terms.
"This..."
The robotic sphere said innocently, "We're preparing a small gift for everyone."
The soul-calling ghost curiously leaned in, "What gift? Is there one for me too?"
The grave ghost was also somewhat curious but still needed to maintain its "big brother" status.
It only slightly peeked over.
The robotic sphere reached into its pocket and pulled out a handful of small golden spheres.
The soul-calling ghost asked, "What is this?"
The robotic sphere smiled innocently, "Something good, you'll know soon."
Then, it scattered the small golden spheres outwards.
The small golden spheres immediately spread out.
They split into two, then four, then eight.
Before long, they covered the entire rocky platform.
Some were on the rocks, some were in the air.
Nearby ghosts noticed and were drawn to them:
"What is that?"
"Fireworks?"
The grave ghost quickly said, "You can't set off fireworks here!"
The robotic sphere replied, "Don't worry, it's just a little trinket from our hometown."
Seeing that the small golden spheres were positioned almost evenly, the robotic sphere raised its right hand.
Under the watchful eyes of the soul-calling ghost and the grave ghost, it snapped its fingers.
*Snap!*
The small golden spheres lit up simultaneously.
A golden thread quickly connected two golden spheres.
Those in the sky connected with those in the sky, and those on the ground connected with those on the ground.
In just a moment, a natural, enclosed net was formed.
After staring blankly for two seconds, the soul-calling ghost said:
"It's... it's quite pretty."
The golden threads shimmered, looking like some kind of festive light decorations from the human world.
"Do these things have any purpose?"
The grave ghost was also startled by the sudden change, "If it's just for decoration, then quickly put them away."
"It's too conspicuous. If the boss sees it, he'll probably get angry."
Purpose?
The robotic sphere smiled at the grave ghost, "Yes, it has a purpose. It can help me take you to my home as guests."
The grave ghost frowned, feeling that the robotic sphere's words and actions were becoming increasingly strange.
Gradually realizing something was wrong, it shouted:
"What exactly are you up to?!"
...
"Up to you!"
"Hahaha, what kind of 'gift' is this!"
At first, the viewers were also confused.
But after seeing the golden threads appear, they understood.
Xu Nan, Seven-Colored Egg, and the robotic sphere had used this before when they were on a mission in the villa district.
Didn't this thing function like a large burlap sack?
"May I ask if you want this golden sack, or this gray sack?"
"The sack is so big, one scoop fits all!"
"Going to the underworld as guests? Meals and accommodation included! (dog emoji)"
