When Mai Fan arrived outside the door, he no longer cared about the surrounding scenery or the wandering spirits floating around.
All his attention was attracted by a strange sight.
It was a strange light that others couldn't see, but he could definitely see.
He didn't know why the ghost body who led him thought he could see it.
The question could be postponed until later, but now he had to find out what these strange lights were.
Those strange lights are composed of countless rays of light, and these rays of light are scattered in every corner of the city.
In every dwelling, in every wandering road, in every inconspicuous corner that might be inhabited.
And those rays of light, like silk threads, soared into the sky from these corners.
In the end, these thread-like lights converged on the only point in the city.
It is a building that you can tell exactly where it is as soon as you look at it.
Because that huge ghost head is the birthplace of this city and the seat of the city lord.
It would not be surprising if all these lights converged in the center of the city.
It may also be the connection between these living or dead creatures living in this city and the city lord of this city.
But when all these rays of light were gathered in one place, another ray of light was reflected back from the city lord's palace.
These rays of light do not return as much as they come.
I don’t know how they chose. If there are 10,000 rays of light that are sent to the city lord’s palace, then less than 1/10 of them are fed back.
So what exactly are these rays?
Mai Fan, who was standing at the door, turned to look at the floating body.
Then he was surprised to find that there were so many living things in the house he lived in, but there was no light spreading from the room.
His friends, including himself, had a strange light above their heads. However, when these lights tried to leave the house, they were blocked by the shrine's glass-like light.
Then it was as if a line of swaying grass grew on their heads, dancing randomly on their heads in a daze because they couldn't find the direction in which it was about to grow.
"Why didn't I see this light just now? What does this light mean?"
"It's good for us to prevent this light from intersecting with the City Lord's Mansion, right?"
"This should be the reward you said you gave us for our help just now."
The ghost body, which was about to disperse if it couldn't come up, nodded, indicating that Mai Fan could return to his yard.
"Sure enough, young gentleman, you can see some special things. I also understand how you discovered the existence of my senior brother."
"Since sir can see these lights, then I can tell the truth to him."
"What you see is the second plan that our city lord has begun to implement."
"Due to the lack of confidence in his own strength, the methods used by the city lord of Ghost City are becoming more and more extreme."
"None of us hate him, for absorbing this."
"But not everyone agrees with the second method he used."
"In other words, most of the people who know about it are against it."
"The person he knows about this situation can only be born among the 99 ghosts like us."
"Most of the people who opposed him have now been absorbed by it."
"Yes, it is said that people are far apart, but in fact we are all a family without distinction."
"But some of them were the first to be absorbed despite being so close to the city lord before this. What do you think is the reason for this?"
"It's not because they are strongly opposed to the city lord implementing this second plan."
"They think that by integrating the known resources, they have become a powerful enough city lord."
"There is no need to attack the entire city, which is irrelevant, or the living creatures who only live here temporarily."
"Once this plan fails, the City Lord's Mansion will usher in the fiercest resistance and encirclement and suppression in various regions."
"At that time, who is the monster that should be eliminated most in this area? It is difficult to draw judgments and conclusions. At that time, the Lord of the Ghost City may become the most unpopular substance in this area. .
We feel that for the sake of the city lord's small destiny, he should not have such thoughts and ideas. "
"But all these attempts were ignored by the city lord."
"He even thinks that our obstruction is actually a stumbling block on his way to becoming the strongest."
"Because of the individual's greed for life and fear of death, this idea of not understanding him arises."
"Ah, this kind of ghost who cannot stand on the same side as him has lost the greatest bond and intimacy with him."
"So, those of us ghost bodies who fiercely opposed him became the first ones he got rid of."
"Almost half of the literary styles he absorbed were individuals who expressed opposition."
"If he absorbs maybe twenty or thirty more, the independent groups that collectively oppose him will completely disappear."
"Originally, I would have been one of those people who left cleanly, out of sight and out of mind."
"However, when I found out that the city lord had secretly started to implement his second plan, I thought that I must find a way to communicate with my compatriots."
"At this point, I had stripped myself and there was nothing more I could do."
"So I can only come to my senior brother for help."
"But unfortunately, he also belongs to the group of people who resisted more fiercely. He was absorbed not much later than me."
"We don't have time to find our own comrades, or the rebel Alliance."
"I can only temporarily stay in that shrine with soul-nurturing properties and slowly recover myself."
"This is the whole story."
"I didn't expect that in the process of absorbing the essence of outsiders, I would meet someone as capable as Mr."
"Sir, you can find my senior brother, you can also find me, and your teammates can all see it. Our husband is a person of great ability."
"I took my husband out to see the distance, and I didn't hold out much hope, but I didn't expect that my husband could really see those lights."
"Actually, the light that you see is just the traction of the breath in each person's body."
"The essence of our body, or in other words, the fundamental core of existence, is expressed in the form of light."
"And the current city lord is slowly passing a certain secret method. All the crystal nuclei of people who want to live in this city are gathered to him."
