LRAB Chapter 112 The Second Coffin Nail
Chapter 112 The Second Coffin Nail
Sun Rui quickly unlocked the door and pushed it open, a musty smell wafting out.
He picked up the bag containing blank drawings next to him and went inside.
According to the information left by Lin Youzhi, to enter the real Heaven and Earth Bank, one needs to use ghost money to make a transaction.
He happened to have a 3-yuan ghost coin on him.
In front of it was a round, ruler-shaped counter with a balance scale, weights, a rubber stamp, and an inkstone.
There were many account books hanging on the wall inside the counter.
Sun Rui did not detect any supernatural aura in these things.
He stepped forward and placed the three-yuan ghost coin he had on the counter.
At that moment, a gust of cold wind blew by, and a blurry figure appeared on the previously empty seat at the counter.
The figure was thin and hunched over, staring at the three-yuan note on the counter as if trying to determine if it was real or fake.
Sun Rui became alert.
"Is this the ghost Lin Youzhi was talking about? I can only enter the real Heaven and Earth Bank if I give him money."
You have to understand that the Heaven and Earth Bank is currently out of control, and no one can say for sure whether this ghost will attack him.
"Sign the terms of the Tiandi Qianzhuang agreement."
A crooked character appeared on the counter.
Beside the words, a certificate exuding an eerie aura lay quietly.
The handwriting on the certificate was crooked and messy, it didn't look like it was written by a human, but by a vengeful ghost.
Furthermore, the terms and conditions above are not clear at all.
Sun Rui cut his finger and dripped blood onto it.
This was how he established a connection between himself and the Heavenly Money Shop, allowing him to enter the real money shop.
The next moment, the previously illegible handwriting on the voucher suddenly became clear.
The "ghost money" coins are issued in denominations of three, four, and seven yuan; there are no other denominations.
[Items can be exchanged for ghost money; the amount depends on the value of the items.]
Once a transaction is chosen, regardless of its value, it must be completed and cannot be reversed.
"These receipts are practically unfair terms; you can't even see them if you don't sign them," Sun Rui complained.
He then took a white ghost candle from the bag and began the transaction.
Only in this way can he enter the real Heaven and Earth Bank.
He placed the white ghost candle on the counter, and the next moment, the surrounding environment changed.
Suddenly, a ghostly green light shone in the originally dimly lit hall.
"It seems I have entered the true Heaven and Earth Bank," Sun Rui said.
He surveyed his surroundings; there were many scratch marks on the walls, and bloodstains on the ground had covered the original floor.
The once tidy counter was now in a state of partial collapse. Everything was scattered all over the floor.
He also noticed some blurry figures around him.
They are all vengeful ghosts.
These vengeful spirits sat quietly on chairs in the lobby, each holding a receipt or voucher. They seemed to have come here to make a transaction.
"The Heaven and Earth Money Shop can no longer generate ghost money normally, so are all these vengeful ghosts trapped here?" Sun Rui guessed.
Just then, he sensed a chilling aura enveloping him.
"Hmm?" Sun Rui frowned.
He looked around and finally noticed something unusual: a vengeful ghost seemed to have broken free of its restraints and was approaching him.
It was a emaciated corpse, only the upper body, sitting in a wooden wheelchair, or more precisely, connected to the wheelchair.
The wooden wheelchair was old and creaked on the wooden planks, looking like it might fall apart at any moment.
Sun Rui then discovered that he had completely lost sensation in his lower body. Moreover, his legs were withering away.
"This kind of supernatural attack is terrifying," Sun Rui said.
The next moment, he collapsed limply to the ground. His legs gradually disappeared, and his body seemed to grow new flesh and blood, connecting with the floor.
"I have no choice but to give up my lower body," Sun Rui said.
Then, his lower body spontaneously dissipated, leaving only his upper body.
Then he used the ghostly haze to restore his lower body.
However, these supernatural attacks continue.
The newly formed lower body is still withering.
"What exactly is the pattern of this vengeful ghost's killings?" Sun Rui frowned.
He entered this real money exchange, but he didn't do anything at all.
"Perhaps it was because I didn't make any move that this vengeful ghost's killing pattern was triggered," Sun Rui guessed.
The next moment, he voluntarily sat back down and leaned against the chair.
Suddenly, he realized that the supernatural attack had ended, but his lower body had withered beyond recognition.
"So that's how it is! I was wondering why, out of all these vengeful ghosts, they were targeting me." Sun Rui suddenly realized.
All the vengeful spirits were seated on chairs in the hall according to the rules, except for him who was standing.
After he sat down, he immediately resumed his lower body.
"As long as it's not a fatal wound, it's fine," Sun Rui said.
Then he looked at the vengeful ghost in the counter.
The white ghost candle had disappeared, replaced by a transaction receipt.
[Transaction successful, valued at one yuan.]
Sun Rui waited for a while, but nothing else changed.
"Well, it seems the Heaven and Earth Bank really is out of money," Sun Rui said helplessly.
At this moment, he moved his chair closer to the back door next to the counter. To successfully inherit the Heaven and Earth Bank, he needed to go to the accounting office.
"I wonder what method Lin Youzhi mentioned for dealing with the resurrection of the vengeful ghost?" Sun Rui wondered.
He slowly approached the door, then got up and walked out. The vengeful ghost in the wheelchair inside the hall didn't pay him any attention.
"It seems that each room here is a separate haunted space," Sun Rui guessed.
After passing through the door, he went straight to the tent. There was a strong stench of corpses inside, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"This can be called an accounting office?"
There was no trace of a room left; it was clearly a pile of ruins.
The shelves and cabinets here were all overturned on the ground, and there were torn-up ghost money everywhere.
The accounting office had no roof; instead, it was shrouded in darkness.
Sun Rui had tried before, and it wasn't easy to tear the ghost money apart.
And now it's everywhere.
Sun Rui bent down, trying to pick up a torn piece of ghost money.
But as soon as he touched it, the ghost money seemed to weather away and quickly dissipated.
"The supernatural power within these fragments has disappeared," Sun Rui said.
He released the ghostly domain of the burning ghost, and all the ghost money on the ground, which had lost its supernatural power, vanished. At this moment, the things buried by the ghost money were revealed.
It was the body of a young man.
His face was pale, and his eyes were closed, as if he were asleep.
The corpse was dressed in a gray cloth robe, resembling an accountant.
The reason Sun Rui thought it was a corpse was because a coffin nail was stuck straight into his chest.
"Another coffin nail! It's a bit of a shame," Sun Rui exclaimed.
He didn't dare pull it out casually, as he had no idea how long it had been pinned there.
Then Sun Rui squinted at the pocket on the corpse's clothes. There seemed to be a paintbrush inside.
"According to Lin Youzhi, this paintbrush is the key to inheriting the Heaven and Earth Bank," Sun Rui muttered to himself.
He stepped forward, wearing gold gloves, and took the paintbrush out of his pocket.
The brush handles were made of wood, shiny with oil, as if they had been used for a long time.
The brush tip is black.
"This is... hair?"
The paintbrush tip was made of hair, which looked very strange.
