“What kind of joke is this!”
Wu Chao’s expression changed drastically. He could not understand why Li Yu’s eyes would also sprout that female ghost’s arm. How exactly had such an attack been carried out?!
After Li Yu died, the last normal fingernail on her hand rapidly turned black and lengthened. The malevolent ghost fully revived, and an increasingly dense, sinister cold radiated from those glossy black ghost nails.
The ten black nails extended, and one fork after another appeared on them, branching outward into even more black nails in every direction. They wove together like a patch of dangerous black thorns, submerging Li Yu’s corpse.
And that was not all. On the ground, with Li Yu’s corpse at the center, sharp, blackened nails stabbed up one after another like pointed knives, continuously piercing out and spreading through the surroundings.
Once a malevolent ghost revived, the supernatural manifestations it unleashed were far more dangerous and terrifying than when it was inside a ghost controller’s body.
“Wang Liang! Damn it, how did he do this? When did Li Yu fall victim? Was it a hidden move left behind when that female ghost grabbed her face earlier?”
Wu Chao could not make sense of it, but the supernatural was filled with unknowns to begin with. He had no time to think. Right now, he had to deal with the revived malevolent ghost inside Li Yu first.
If those ghost nails stabbed into a person, they would immediately erode their flesh and blood, causing everything nearby to dry out and decay at high speed. He absolutely could not let himself be pierced.
The carpet yellowed and rotted into ash. The floor became old and worn, and the knife-like black nails stabbing out of it were rapidly spreading toward him and Feng Bo. This kind of supernatural attack was far stronger than Li Yu merely lengthening her nails to stab people.
Most ghost controllers who only controlled a single ghost were actually like Li Yu. They could only crudely rely on the instincts of the malevolent ghost and use its most basic supernatural abilities.
They had not resolved the problem of their own ghost’s revival. Every time they used the supernatural, they took another step closer to death.
If they did not dare gamble, did not dare try to explore the supernatural and control new supernatural powers, then naturally they would not be able to use any more complex methods. It was like the difference between ordinary movement through a ghost domain and turning a ghost domain into a rainbow-like streak.
“Old Feng!” Wu Chao shouted.
Against this kind of attack with multiple derivative nails, Feng Bo’s ghost breath was the most suitable response. That was a supernatural attack aimed at groups.
Feng Bo’s own condition was also very poor, but at this moment he only silently followed Wu Chao’s order. If Wu Chao told him to act, then he acted.
A sinister cold rose from his body, and his complexion became even more sallow. He took a deep breath, then exhaled forward.
A pale yellow, foul-smelling gas blew over the knife-like black nails on the ground. Wherever it passed, the black nails rapidly cracked and snapped apart, falling to the ground and rotting into ash.
The stinking gas destroyed large numbers of derivative black nails, dissolving the black thorns and revealing Li Yu’s corpse within.
The stench wrapped around Li Yu. Her corpse rapidly rotted away. Only on her two withered hands, those ten eerie black nails remained intact within the stinking gas, and the sinister cold upon them faintly resisted the surrounding gas.
From time to time, sharp black nails still stabbed out of the nearby floor, but they quickly decayed and broke within the stinking gas.
However, the supernatural power of a malevolent ghost was endless. If it was not completely suppressed with overwhelming force, then if this stalemate continued, the ones who died would definitely be the ghost controllers.
Feng Bo maintained the ghost breath while throwing the gold body bag in his hand to Wu Chao.
Wu Chao caught it in one hand, his face dark as he strode toward Li Yu’s corpse. Most of the spike-like nails on the ground had already been blown apart, leaving the path clear. They could not stop him.
Feng Bo seized the timing and stopped releasing his supernatural power. The stinking gas enveloping Li Yu’s corpse was withdrawn.
Wu Chao took the opportunity to approach, preparing to put Li Yu’s rotten, incomplete corpse into the gold body bag before the ghost nails on her hands revived and spread again.
But just as he reached out with the gold body bag, it closed over empty air. Li Yu’s corpse vanished out of nowhere, shifting a distance forward and ending up several meters farther away from him.
Wu Chao’s expression changed. He saw Li Yu’s corpse rapidly fading, as if it were in another space.
Although it could still be seen, it no longer existed in reality, and very soon, it vanished completely from this floor.
This manifestation made him think of something.
A ghost domain!
“Impossible! How could Li Yu’s malevolent ghost possibly have a ghost domain?”
Wu Chao’s mind raced. He and Feng Bo knew perfectly well what Li Yu’s malevolent ghost was and what abilities it possessed.
The black nails that had just stabbed out of the ground—although Li Yu had never used them that way before—could still be understood as a derived application of the ghost’s supernatural power. It did not exceed the limits.
But this manifestation now belonged to the ability of a ghost domain.
Li Yu’s malevolent ghost could not possibly be that terrifying and possess a ghost domain. Otherwise, Li Yu would have died long ago. After eliminating every impossibility, only one situation remained.
Wu Chao gnashed his teeth and said, “Wang Liang, so you actually have a ghost domain. So that’s how it is. In that case, many things make sense.
“Sun Qiang and the others couldn’t even touch you when facing a ghost domain, so naturally they couldn’t win. Fang Shang was the same. Only Fang Shang’s corpse was in the elevator because you didn’t need to take the elevator at all. Damn it, get out here. I know you’re here right now. Come out!”
Within the deeper ghost domain,
Wang Liang ignored the useless shouting of Wu Chao’s projection in front of him and instead stared at Li Yu’s corpse before him.
Without the suppression of Feng Bo’s ghost, the black nails on Li Yu’s fingers began to revive again. The nails lengthened, and derivative nails appeared like black thorns, weaving together. Within this deeper ghost domain, they wrapped Li Yu’s corpse inside.
The black nails spread, trying to stab toward Wang Liang in front of them.
But a tall, sinister-cold female ghost’s body suddenly appeared before Wang Liang, blocking the large expanse of black nails stabbing over.
The black nails stabbed into the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s body, but they had no effect at all. Her towering figure did not budge in the slightest.
The Slit-Mouthed Woman raised both hands and swept them across the nails in front of her. Wherever they passed, the black nails snapped inch by inch, leaving only ten sinister-cold black nails in the end, five in each of the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s hands.
The suppressive supernatural power in the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s hands appeared. The ten black nails were suppressed into silence, and the derivative nails stabbing up around them instantly turned to ash and disappeared.

[Detected that the suppressed malevolent ghost can become a puzzle piece for “Sadako” or “Slit-Mouthed Woman.” Please choose one to fuse.]
Li Yu’s ghost nails could indeed become a puzzle piece for the film ghosts. After all, the ghosts Wang Liang controlled were all female ghosts.
Moreover, the supernatural effect of the ghost nails did not conflict with the film ghosts, unlike the ghost hand and ghost bone in the subway. Those looked like universal puzzle pieces, but seemingly because of some kind of supernatural conflict, they did not fit the film ghosts and could not be controlled.
It was just that the terror level of these ghost nails was average. That could be seen from the mere 2% strangeness value they provided.
But Wang Liang did not mind. Little things accumulated into much. It was better to have these small, fragmented puzzle pieces than not.
However, Wang Liang now found himself somewhat troubled. Should he give this little puzzle piece to Sadako, or to the Slit-Mouthed Woman?
