"Let's go."
Fang Hei waved his hand.
A group of about ten ghost envoys, plus twenty to thirty extras playing ghosts and monsters, set off grandly.
Jiang Lin was pondering what they were going to do.
As they flew, he noticed the surrounding ghosts and monsters 'transforming'.
They changed into different costumes and appearances.
Some were dressed in black, others in gold.
The black was simple yet solemn, the gold was magnificent, noble, and elegant.
Beside him, Zhong Pianpian stepped forward and secretly handed Jiang Lin a black outfit.
"Jiang Wuchang, wear this."
A costume?
Jiang Lin took the clothing and put it on directly.
He also casually tidied his hair like the ghosts next to him.
In just a few seconds,
Jiang Wuchang, dressed in black with his hair tied up in a bun, was ready.
With the costumes unified, the entire team looked much more imposing.
At first glance, it was a vast expanse of black.
Soaring through the sky.
...
Stream viewers: "??? Costume change in a second?!"
"I want to learn this skill too."
"Slurp~ The streamer's new skin, I'm taking it~"
"What exactly are they doing? Thanks to the Drama Department, I never thought I'd see the streamer participate in a performance."
Seeing this scene, the viewers' thoughts could be perfectly described in two words.
— Magical.
— Holy crap!
"Mom, why am I watching my phone on my knees, sniffle~"
...
The speed of the paper cranes was not slow.
Soon, the live stream reached an abandoned village.
The houses in the village were all tightly shut, with dust accumulating at their doors.
The surrounding fields were also uncultivated.
As a gentle breeze blew,
The viewers seemed to see fallen leaves twirl twice in the air before slowly descending.
This scene was too familiar to them.
Because their hometowns were almost all like this.
Now, everyone was moving to the cities, and their hometown lands were either abandoned or contracted out.
The scenes of people chatting loudly at their doorsteps were rarely seen anymore.
"Huh? The streamer stopped?"
"I look left and right, are they going to build a stage here?"
...
The viewers couldn't see it, but with Jiang Lin's cultivation level, he could immediately sense that there was another space here.
Something like a barrier.
"This is it."
The current minister of the Drama Department rode a paper crane, sitting in the center of the ghosts, and was the only ghost dressed in golden robes.
He seemed to be playing someone of high status.
He commanded, "Someone, go and scout the situation."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
From the ghosts in the front row, a small ghost dressed in black robes immediately stepped forward.
He nimbly flew out and began scouting the sky above the village.
Paper props were thrown out from his hands.
Zhong Pianpian stepped forward and whispered in Jiang Lin's ear:
"Each ghost cultivates a different path, and their acting styles vary."
"The Minister is currently playing the role of an Emperor."
An emperor, who held the power of life and death.
He could control the development of everything from behind the scenes.
Jiang Lin looked at the small ghost exploring ahead and also asked in a low voice, "Where is this?"
Zhong Pianpian: "For remote villages like this, the frequency of patrols is also relatively low."
"But two days ago, when a patrolling paper crane flew by, it detected human presence."
"Most importantly, that human had a strong ghostly aura, even the aura of a contract."
Jiang Lin raised his eyes, "Contract?"
Contracts were divided into many types, such as humans contracting ghosts, or ghosts contracting humans.
Among them were equal contracts, slave contracts, ghost soldier contracts, and so on.
Ghost soldier contracts were different from slave contracts.
Although it was still a relationship where one commanded and the other obeyed,
Ghost soldier contracts offered relatively higher freedom, similar to a follower or a superior-subordinate relationship.
Just as Jiang Lin and Zhong Pianpian were whispering,
The small ghost who went to scout ahead gave a signal, indicating that the location of the barrier had been found.
Below, they would immediately begin breaking the barrier.
Since they were prepared, soon, everyone heard a series of explosions ahead.
Boom—
A hole was blasted through the barrier.
Dense Yin energy instantly surged out from within.
Almost in an instant, it reached the sky.
The viewers in the live stream were startled by this scene.
Who would have thought that such a remote place harbored such great terror.
"Could it be that we've stumbled into a ghost den?"
"Streamer, be careful!"
...
"Who broke my barrier?"
Not only were the viewers startled, but the inhabitants within the barrier were also shocked.
Through the hole,
A small wooden house and a well could be seen.
In front of the yard, there were two plots of farmland with lush green vegetables.
What was most eye-catching was the large tree outside the yard.
The sky-piercing Yin energy was almost entirely emanating from it.
When the barrier was broken, a person and a ghost inside quickly embraced each other.
The male ghost's arm was around the woman's slender waist, and he looked up at the opening in the barrier.
His hair, stirred by the wind, exuded an imposing aura.
The woman, as if startled, nestled in his arms, and a water bucket lay overturned on the ground from fright.
She had been watering the vegetables just moments ago.
"Tianba, what happened?" Wang Caihua asked fearfully.
"It's nothing, I'm here," Long Tianba said indifferently.
As if everything happening now was just a minor matter.
At the opening of the barrier, the small ghost in black robes looked at the person and the ghost.
His aura immediately became imposing.
He said coldly and sternly:
"Let go of that human. Don't you know that you cannot arbitrarily make a contract with a human?"
Whether it was a human contracting a ghost, or a ghost contracting a human,
Ever since humans attacked the Underworld in history, such contracts had been strictly controlled.
Even ghost envoys needed to go through a series of application procedures to form a contract.
Most importantly, judging from the mixed ghostly aura emanating from this person and ghost,
They had even developed that kind of relationship.
"You will kill her like this," the black-robed ghost said coldly.
"Hmph!"
The male ghost, Long Tianba, snorted dismissively after hearing this.
"My woman is protected by me. Whether she lives or dies, I have my own judgment."
Black-robed ghost: "If that's the case, then don't blame us for being impolite."
Long Tianba's lips curled into a smile, showing three parts disdain, five parts contempt, and two parts mockery.
"With you?"
Wang Caihua, nestled in his arms, flinched, "Tianba, I don't want to be separated from you."
"Don't worry, Caihua, no one can separate us."
He, Long Tianba, was the most handsome man in the entire village.
When everyone was captivated by his handsome appearance, only this woman was different.
She truly loved his soul.
"If ghosts don't offend me, I don't offend ghosts. If ghosts offend me, I will exterminate their entire clan!"
As he spoke, a dense ghostly aura rose from his body, instantly forming an aura.
Wang Caihua looked at her ghost husband with adoration.
He was simply outrageously handsome!
"Go, husband!"
"It's just a small ghost, I'll be back after I've dealt with it."
Long Tianba kissed his beloved wife's forehead, then flew out of the broken barrier with a domineering and cool swagger.
His voice, amplified by the ghostly aura, spread throughout the village:
"Little ghost, come and fight!"
