Chapter 40: Chapter 38: Netherworld’s Nether Fire
Suddenly, someone appeared and shot Zhao Hu, an event that exceeded everyone’s expectations.
"I got it, you wait for me here." Mo Lin set off into Minghai Building.
"You’re going in just like that? The person who rushed in just now had a gun," a man reminded Mo Lin.
"It’s fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Lin’s figure appeared inside the Minghai Building.
Currently, Mo Lin possesses three Nightmare Level ghosts, dealing with an ordinary person with a gun is a piece of cake.
Upon entering the building, a chill greets him.
The building was unlit, very dim.
Mo Lin didn’t take the elevator, he chose the stairs.
He needed to search layer by layer to see if there were any ghosts, taking the elevator wouldn’t help find ghosts.
"Chen Xi.." Mo Lin snorted coldly.
A red ghost appeared beside Mo Lin, "Master, did you call me?"
"There is a person with a gun here, help me catch him."
"As you wish." Chen Xi nodded, her gaze swept around and then she walked through the ceiling upstairs.
Mo Lin walked the stairs unhurriedly.
Mo Lin is human, not a ghost, he can’t pass through floors like a ghost.
For some reason, after entering, Mo Lin always had an ominous premonition.
There was an indescribable heaviness in his heart.
The intuition of the Yin Department usually foretells that something is about to happen.
"Chu Xing.."
"Master, why do you summon me?" Chu Xing floated in the air and asked Mo Lin.
"Go follow Chen Xi, I have a bad feeling," Mo Lin whispered as a reminder.
"Master... you’re with the Yin Department, is there anything you can’t handle?" Chu Xing complimented.
Then he saw Mo Lin’s serious expression, Chu Xing shrugged his neck, stopped joking, and moved to follow Chen Xi.
Mo Lin walked up to the second floor via the stairs, nothing unusual there.
The corridor was very quiet, nothing in sight.
To prevent being ambushed, Mo Lin also summoned Hong Ye.
Hong Ye’s hair hung to the ground, floating behind Mo Lin.
Since being subdued by Mo Lin, she has completely followed him.
"Master.. I’m scared.." Hong Ye looked up towards the ceiling and said to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin was somewhat surprised, what could make her feel scared.
"It seems like there’s something upstairs, I’m scared.." Hong Ye repeated once more.
She didn’t know why, but she indeed felt afraid.
A fear from the soul.
Ghosts never speak of fear.
When she said the word afraid, it meant there must be danger.
"Oh no...."
"Chen Xi... Chu Xing... come back.." Mo Lin shouted loudly.
There was no response.
Only Mo Lin’s voice echoed in the corridor.
Mo Lin quickened his pace upstairs.
"Ah...."
A piercing scream shattered the skies.
The sound stung his ears painfully.
It was a heartbreaking scream.
Mo Lin hurriedly covered his ears with his hands.
"Crash..."
The surrounding glass shattered.
All the glass of the thirty-two-story building shattered.
Shattered glass shards drizzled onto the ground.
"Boom.."
Another loud boom, the entire Minghai Building shook suddenly.
A terrifying force blasted a big hole on the left side of the thirtieth floor.
Outside Minghai Building..
"Quickly take cover, warn people around not to approach the Minghai Building."
"Quickly evacuate the people around."
Men in black uniforms were evacuating the crowd below.
Mo Lin’s heart suddenly tightened.
The heart-wrenching scream just now was very familiar to Mo Lin.
It was Chen Xi’s voice.
Mo Lin rushed upstairs even faster.
After all, Chen Xi is a Nightmare Level ghost.
Even in the Underworld, she barely qualifies as a big ghost.
Yet such a big ghost was letting out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Twenty thousand Netherworld Currency... please, nothing must happen.." Mo Lin was anxious and accelerated again.
"Boom.."
Another loud boom was heard.
The Minghai Building shook violently again.
A hole was smashed in the Minghai Building, the top of twenty-nine floors collapsed directly, firmly hitting the ground.
The earth shook violently along with it.
Dust rose more than ten meters high off the ground.
The once good building turned into a hazardous building.
Mo Lin could only hear sounds but didn’t know what happened upstairs.
Indeed.. his intuition was accurate.
There really is danger here.
Mo Lin accelerated. Accelerated again..
Without stopping, he raced upstairs along the staircase.
"Ah... ah..."
The closer Mo Lin got to the top floor, the louder Chen Xi’s heart-wrenching scream became.
"Boom.."
A large hole was smashed out of the ceiling roof.
A mass of pitch-black flames fell to the ground through the hole.
The pitch-black flames burned in mid-air.
Chen Xi’s figure was right at the center of the flames now.
Her soul was being burned by the flames.
"Master.. you... quickly leave..."
Chen Xi, enduring the scorching fire, somehow found the strength to say those words.
"Ah... ah..."
As the words fell, Chen Xi’s heart-wrenching screams followed immediately.
The pitch-black flames exuded an unsettling aura.
The flames danced mid-air, Chen Xi in the center enduring the agony of being burned.
"Netherworld’s Nether Fire..."
Mo Lin recognized this flame.
When he studied in the Underworld, the first class he attended was on the topic of Netherworld’s Nether Fire.
The origin of the Netherworld’s Nether Fire dates back a long time.
At that time, in the Underworld, there was a place called the Netherworld’s Mansion.
The flame originated from the Netherworld’s Mansion.
The flame burns the ghost’s essence, touching even a tiny bit results in being instantly engulfed by the flames.
Why did such flames appear in the mortal world?
Mo Lin drew a blue long sword, swinging it fiercely towards Chen Xi.
The pitch-black flames, along with a black mist, fell to the ground.
With this swing, Mo Lin severed the connection between the Netherworld’s Nether Fire and Chen Xi.
The Netherworld’s Nether Fire fell to the ground, without anything to burn, the flames gradually shrunk and then slowly vanished.
Chen Xi’s body had shrunk.
The Netherworld’s Nether Fire burned her essence, making it hard to recover in the short term.
Mo Lin realized that this wasn’t the seed of the Netherworld’s Nether Fire in front of him.
It was merely the flame of the Netherworld’s Nether Fire.
"Master.. I’m sorry.. I.." Chen Xi apologized to Mo Lin with a guilty voice.
"It’s not your fault, you should rest first." Mo Lin didn’t blame Chen Xi.
Even Mo Lin fears the Netherworld’s Nether Fire.
It was normal for Chen Xi not to be able to withstand it.
Chen Xi nodded and returned to the Ghost Suppression Book to recuperate.
"Boom.."
Another loud explosion was heard overhead.
Chu Xing was probably fighting the ghost.
"Go help," Mo Lin called to Hong Ye.
Hong Ye moved to help at the rooftop.
The Minghai Building had collapsed halfway, with several large cracks appearing in the stairs.
"Who told you to come out?"
The man wearing the black hat rebuked a ghost angrily, "Luckily I brought the Netherworld’s Nether Fire to find you, otherwise you would have surely died here."
"I just wanted to get some fresh air, eat something, these people came looking for trouble, once I kill all these ghosts, I’ll go back with you."
"Hurry it up.." The man in the hat crossed his arms impatiently.
