Chapter 170 National Destiny: The Evil Cultivator’s Playground 58
The night was as dark as ink. In the Hongyue Community, several eerie currents intertwined, as if they could tear apart the dark night. The ghost landlord and the ghost old man stood in the center of the empty amusement park. Their faces were as pale as paper, and their eyes were flashing with anxiety and doubt.
"Old man, what's going on? We have completed all the game items, why doesn't the copy ownership appear?"
There was a hint of tremor in the ghost landlord's voice, and his eyes scanned the amusement park as if he was looking for something.
The old man frowned, and his face was full of doubt. He pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"I find it strange, too. Logically, once we have completed all the tasks, the ownership of the copy should automatically belong to one of us. But now..." His words revealed an unspeakable anxiety.
While the two were talking, the voices of the ghost couple came from afar. They hurried over, with confusion and puzzlement on their faces. Seeing this, the ghost landlord and the ghost old man immediately went to meet them.
"Are you here?" The ghost landlord spoke first, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
The ghost couple nodded, and the ghost wife said:
"We are also wondering about this question. We have completed all the tasks, so why doesn't the copy ownership appear?" There was a hint of reluctance and helplessness in her voice.
The ghost old man sighed and said in a deep voice:
"We are all here, so why don't we think of a solution together. If we can't get the ownership of the copy, what can we offer to Lord Chi Meng?" His tone revealed a deep worry.
The amusement park seemed to have become a gathering place for ghosts. Several cold air currents collided with each other in the darkness, like cold swords intersecting, making a harsh friction sound. The ghost landlord, the ghost old man and others sat in a corner of the amusement park, their faces were as pale as paper, and there was a flash of anxiety in their eyes.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew past, dispersing the surrounding haze. A figure in a black robe appeared out of thin air, with a silver mask on her face, revealing only a pair of deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. This was Chi Meng, and her appearance made all the ghosts feel a strong sense of oppression.
The ghosts were startled and quickly stood up and greeted Chi Meng respectfully. Chi Meng waved her hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite. Her eyes swept over the ghosts and finally stopped at the ghost landlord and the ghost old man.
"You didn't get the ownership of the copy?" Chi Meng's voice was cold and low, as if it came from the Netherworld.
The ghost landlord and the ghost old man looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy. The ghost landlord took a deep breath, stepped forward courageously, and replied respectfully: "Reporting to Master Chi Meng, we did not find the horror system, nor did we obtain the ownership of the copy of the amusement park copy."
Chi Meng nodded, indicating that she already knew. Her eyes swept over the ghosts again, as if she was examining each of them. The ghosts all felt a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were tightly bound by an invisible force.
"You guys should go back to Hongyue Community first." Chi Meng said calmly. Although her voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.
The ghosts nodded their heads and turned to leave. However, as they turned around, they all looked back at Chi Meng. They saw that Chi Meng had closed his eyes, as if he was lost in thought.
With a swish, Chi Meng's figure disappeared into the darkness again, leaving only silence. The ghosts breathed a sigh of relief and turned away. However, their hearts were filled with anxiety and confusion. They didn't understand why they didn't get the ownership of the copy, and they didn't know what to do next.
The ghost mother was walking at the back, holding her ghost child, with a worried look on her face. She turned to look at the ghost reporter and asked, "Is Master Chi Meng angry with us?"
The ghost reporter shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. He thought for a moment and said, "We have tried our best, but there are some things that we cannot control. Perhaps this is fate."
The ghost landlord also turned around, looked at the ghost old man and asked: "What should we do now?"
The ghost old man was silent for a moment, then he slowly said: "Let's go back to Hongyue Community first. Maybe Master Chi Meng will have other arrangements."
The ghosts nodded and quickened their pace. They knew that the most important thing now was to stay calm and united, only in this way could they cope with the next challenge.
After returning to Hongyue Community, the ghosts returned to their own rooms. However, they could not calm down. They knew that not getting the ownership of the copy this time would definitely bring some trouble to Master Chi Meng. Once Master Chi Meng got angry, the consequences would be disastrous.
The ghost landlord sat in his room, feeling uneasy. He recalled the previous battle with Zhu Lili and others, and couldn't help feeling a little scared, as if Lord Chi Meng was also a human being.
The old man was also sitting in his room, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. He knew that this matter was not that simple. They had to come up with a solution, otherwise, they would all face a catastrophe.
The ghost couple and the ghost mother and son were also talking in low voices in the room, their faces were full of worry and uneasiness. They knew that this incident might bring them some unpredictable consequences.
As the night deepened, the amusement park became so quiet that only the whistling of the wind could be heard. However, in this dead silence, an invisible force was quietly surging. This force came from Chi Meng, who was sitting in the shadows in a corner of the amusement park with her eyes closed, as if she was communicating with some unknown force.
Chi Meng's consciousness surged out like a tide, transforming into tiny waves that shuttled through every corner of the amusement park. She sensed the remaining aura on every facility, trying to find clues about the ownership of the copy.
However, as time went by, she discovered that the amusement park had been destroyed beyond recognition by those ghosts, and the original horror and hideousness gradually dissipated in the dilapidated and depressed state.
Chi Meng frowned, and an indescribable irritation surged in her heart. She couldn't help but start to wonder if there really was a copy of this horror game? Or maybe all this was just wishful thinking on the part of the ghosts under her command?
However, just as she was about to give up, a faint breath suddenly caught her attention. This breath was different from any other facility. It seemed to be hidden very deeply, but it inadvertently revealed a hint of weirdness. Chi Meng immediately condensed her consciousness into a thin thread and carefully probed towards the breath.
Under the touch of divine consciousness, an invisible barrier gradually emerged. This barrier covered a seemingly ordinary carousel, but upon closer inspection, one could find that its surface was covered with complex runes and patterns. These runes and patterns flashed with a dim light, as if telling some ancient secret.
Chi Meng's heart moved, she realized that she had finally found the key. She took a deep breath and poured all her consciousness into the barrier. With her efforts, the barrier began to loosen gradually, and cracks spread across it.
However, at this moment, a powerful force suddenly erupted from the inside of the barrier, fiercely repelling Chi Meng's consciousness. She felt a sharp pain coming from her mind, as if something was tearing her soul apart. She almost screamed in pain, but she held it back.
Chi Meng showed a ferocious smile on her face. She knew she had found a breakthrough. She gathered her consciousness again and prepared to launch a more fierce attack.
