Time travel game, starting from Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, shielding Nie Moli behind him, saying, "Stay close to me, or find a place you feel safe to hide."

Before he finished speaking, his Nine Yang Internal Force erupted, unleashing a violent force that surged outwards.

His extremely powerful and masculine internal energy transformed into a surging heat wave, spreading wildly outwards from his center. Those invisible things, upon encountering this scorching heat wave, were like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, instantly emitting a shrill scream before vanishing without a trace.

The corridor lights flickered wildly under the impact of this force, and finally, with a few crackling sounds, the light bulbs exploded one after another, scattering fragments everywhere.

But darkness did not descend, for a pure white light shone from Mo Jiang's hand, illuminating the dark area.

Under the pure white light, Mo Jiang could vaguely see some outlines in the corridor, outlines that looked like humanoid creatures.

They crawled on all fours, piling up in layers, slowly approaching Mojiang.

Mo Jiang stood in the middle of the corridor, his Nine Yang Inner Force surging like the blazing sun, forcing the surrounding cold ghostly energy to retreat step by step.

Those restless, invisible things, upon contact with the scorching heat wave within a three-foot radius around him, emitted piercing shrieks and vanished without a trace.

The only thing left was a tiny spark that appeared out of nowhere in the air, appearing suddenly and then immediately going out.

Soon, those intangible things were almost gone, not because they knew how to retreat, but because they were all burned to ashes by the fierce and violent Nine Yang internal force.

The last few unseen things slowly retreated, showing no intention of moving forward.

They even went inside the dormitory and slammed the door shut.

"They...are afraid?!"

Nie Moli's voice was filled with disbelief. She could feel the malice in the corridor fading away, like a spider web being crushed by an invisible hand.

In an instant, the relationship between hunter and prey was reversed.

"You should be afraid, they're not super beasts."

Any living being attacked will feel pain, fear, or reveal vulnerabilities.

However, the Super Beast wouldn't feel that way!

Mo Jiang glanced at her. "What were the rules you were talking about earlier?"

"The rules and scenarios of killing in the ghost realm are related. Since this is a dormitory environment, it is not allowed to make noise or fight, and running is also not allowed. These rules should be the rules of this area. Once violated, it will attract ghosts to kill."

"The baby was the one making a scene just now, how can we blame that on us?"

Mo Jiang admitted to the fight, since he had indeed burned the baby ghost.

But the noise issue was clearly not his problem.

“Yes, that’s right. No one would think you were the one making noise just now.” Nie Moli pointed to the open dormitory door. “But obviously, ghosts don’t reason with you. Some rules allow ghosts to kill individuals who violate the rules, while others simply allow ghosts to massacre in an area. The commotion just now was probably the latter.”

Mo Jiang didn't speak, but silently stared at the wall in front of him, a thought forming in his mind.

The question is whether he can destroy this old dormitory building, thereby forcing the ghost's true form to appear.

Given his usual output in tons, demolishing an old dormitory building wouldn't be particularly difficult.

Without hesitation, Mo Jiang placed one hand on the wall and slowly but resolutely began to exert force. As the force continued to be applied, his palm soon pressed the wall inward.

But at this moment, Mo Jiang suddenly withdrew his hand and did not continue to exert force.

The wall was ridiculously sturdy; even a force of thirty tons couldn't break through it. It was only after Mo Jiang increased his force to over sixty tons that he managed to squeeze and dent the wall.

He sensed that as the force he applied increased to seventy tons, there seemed to be something behind the wall.

His intuition told him that continuing to destroy the [scene] would provoke a full-scale counterattack from the entire Ghost Realm.

If it were just Mo Jiang alone, he would naturally not care, and he even wanted to test the limits of the Ghost Domain's power.

Unfortunately, there is a human by his side. If this triggers a full-scale attack from the Ghost Realm, he will most likely be unable to protect the other party.

Mo Jiang's hand left the wall, the dented mark standing out starkly against the mold and dark red slime.

The option to forcibly destroy the scene and break out of the ghost realm has been banned, so we can only think of other ways to safely send Nie Moli away.

As long as there are no one around who needs taking care of him, Mo Jiang is confident that he can definitely tear this ghost realm to pieces.

"You just said that this dormitory was reopened because it was overcrowded." Mo Jiang recalled the news he had heard before, "The old girls' dormitory, Building 4, Floor 4, Room 4... Could the number 4 be related to the murder case from back then, and the true form of that female ghost?"

138. The first step in deciphering the mystery is to tear down the wall.

Dormitory number 4 on the fourth floor of building 4, which is also known as dormitory 444.

Even if modern people don't care as much about some taboos, a number that looks very unlucky will not be kept even if they don't care about some taboos.

Skipping number one or simply renumbering it wouldn't require any extra expense.

The very existence of this dormitory number indicates some problems.

"There is very little information about the old girls' dormitory. It has been decades, and there are not many records left."

"From what I understand, a very strange murder occurred in dormitory 444, so much so that the school blocked the news. There are also rumors that the school abandoned the entire old dormitory building because of this murder."

Mo Jiang wasn't surprised to hear that the school was covering up the news. In fact, whether in the past or now, the first thing the school does when something happens is to cover up the news.

It has become a kind of path dependency.

As for why Mo Jiang knew so much, it was because the entire Hanfu club almost held an indiscriminate fighting tournament that time, and it was the principal who spent a lot of effort to suppress the news.

Given the police's efforts in getting people released, it's no wonder that the principal immediately had someone check the Hanfu club's accounts the next day.

The Hanfu club gave the principal such a big opportunity, and the principal only needed to check the accounts to settle the score, which is truly reassuring.

"Four people died in the murder case?"

“No.” Nie Moli shook her head and denied it. “I spent a lot of effort investigating the murder case in dormitory 444. It wasn’t four people, it was only one.”

Now it was Mo Jiang's turn to be surprised, not by the number of deaths in the 444 dormitory murder case, but by Nie Moli's investigation.

Judging from her tone, Nie Moli did not investigate dormitory 444 after encountering any supernatural events.

Instead, upon learning about this dormitory, they consciously conducted an in-depth investigation into what happened there.

After all, finding out what the school has buried is not an easy task, even with ample time and resources.

Seemingly sensing Mo Jiang's surprise, Nie Moli said calmly, "The old dormitory was suddenly reopened, and the people who moved in filled the first three floors, leaving only me. It also just so happens that only dormitory number 444 was cleared out. It's normal for me to have some questions and investigate this matter."

The idea itself is rather chilling; there are simply too many students being admitted, and there aren't enough dorm rooms available.

The old dormitory was reopened at just the right time, and it just so happened that all three floors were occupied and there was one extra person. In the end, the extra person moved into the room that happened to be dormitory number 444, which was also strangely numbered.

If it's just a coincidence of one or two factors, it might just be an accident caused by some probability overlap.

But if every step involves a coincidence, it can only mean that this is not a coincidence at all, but rather that someone is plotting something behind the scenes and has made a series of arrangements for it.

Too many coincidences combined together are no longer coincidences, but an inevitability.

Human intervention is an inevitable consequence!

Mo Jiang looked around at the dark surroundings and couldn't help but sigh. "In other words, if we want to investigate the cases here, we first have to go out and find the original files."

"But the problem is that we need to know about the case at the time in order to find the core of this ghost realm and leave it."

Nie Moli's voice was calm. Even in this bizarre space that ordinary people couldn't understand or resist, she maintained her basic composure. "Now we've created a paradox. Do you have any other ideas? You've been acting very relaxed from the beginning until now. This place shouldn't be able to trap you, right?"

This girl has a strong ability to observe. Along the way, she not only observes the possible rules of murder around her, but also Mo Jiang is within her observation range.

Nie Moli then discovered that although Mo Jiang had encountered two crises since they started in the dormitory, he always seemed to be in complete control.

There was not a trace of tension in him.

This behavior either stems from extreme arrogance, completely unaware of the deadly danger of this place where a moment's carelessness could lead to a horrific death, or from absolute confidence in one's own abilities.

A mindset of self-confidence that allows one to protect oneself regardless of circumstances.

“There is a way, but it’s very dangerous.” Mo Jiang didn’t hide anything. “If I attack the dormitory building and dismantle this thing, it might trigger a full-scale counterattack from the Ghost Realm. Then I can take the opportunity to break through the Ghost Realm and escape.”

This ghost realm must have boundaries; the question is whether these boundaries will shift.

If the Ghost Realm is a space composed of numerous rules for killing, then it can be regarded as a special kind of "system".

Mo Jiang's act of vandalizing the dormitory building has a high probability of causing a conflict with the rules within the Ghost Realm, or even causing the Ghost Realm to crash and restart.

Of course, the most likely scenario is that it will lure out that ghost and lead to a life-or-death struggle with him.

Either way, it will provide him with an opportunity to escape the ghost realm.

However, this would jeopardize Nie Moli's safety.

Mo Jiang had just arrived in this world and immediately went to the Ghost Realm. He was completely clueless about such supernatural events, while Nie Moli seemed to have done a lot of research on them and that what she said made a lot of sense.

Since terrifying and supernatural events exist in this world, they are definitely not isolated cases. Mo Jiang suspects that there may be many more terrifying and supernatural events happening around the world.

If you want to understand the occurrence and outcome of such terrifying and supernatural events, and find some local specialties to improve yourself, then this expert who refreshes paranormal knowledge at the spawn point absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble.

Mo Jiang couldn't guarantee that he would encounter other paranormal experts after leaving the Ghost Realm.

The danger in the plan wasn't explicitly stated, but Nie Moli had already guessed that the "danger" referred not to Mo Jiang's potential danger, but rather to her own fatal danger.

They might even have to confront the female ghost directly.

"Then let's do it your way. My method is no longer feasible. Rather than waiting here, we might as well take the risk and try it."

Mo Jiang looked at Nie Moli in surprise; he hadn't expected this girl to be so decisive.

In such a dangerous environment, and given the certainty of a life-threatening situation, the ability to make a decisive choice demonstrates a level of courage and determination rarely seen in ordinary people.

"Okay, from now on, don't leave my side by five steps."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Jiang channeled his inner energy and forcefully clenched his palm against the wall.

"boom!!!"

Fast, ruthless, strong, powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful!! (Yue) (Qi Er) (Neighbor Teacher) (7': Shaanxi Four!)

With a single strike, a force of a hundred tons slammed into the wall.

Suddenly, a large hole was blasted in the wall, and like a dam opening, rotten and foul-smelling pus gushed out from the opening.

At the same time, the entire dormitory building began to shake violently, as if it were alive.

The author says:

Author's note: Thank you to [Haibin] and [Feibai] for the donations.

139. It's normal to develop a sun after practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill. (JPG)

Mo Jiang's palm strike was like a thunderclap, and rotten pus mixed with mold gushed out, instantly filling the entire corridor with a pungent stench.

At the same time, the entire dormitory building emitted a tooth-grinding groan. Dust fell from the ceiling, mold on the walls wriggled like living things, and dark red slime meandered along the cracks. The entire building seemed to have been injected with a living malice.

Almost at the same moment, a distorted human-shaped silhouette appeared at the end of the previously empty corridor.

Those were vengeful spirits bound by the rules of the ghost realm, now emitting inhuman screams, their rotting limbs piercing through the walls and floors, approaching the two in a bizarre manner.

Mo Jiang grabbed Nie Moli's wrist, his breathing strong as a dragon, his inner force roaring like a tiger, and the scorching air surged. The approaching vengeful spirits screamed as soon as they touched the edge of the heat wave, turning into green smoke and dissipating.

But more vengeful spirits surged in from all directions, and black mist seeped from the cracks in the walls, ceiling, and floor, coalescing into new ghostly figures.

Having decided to fight, Mo Jiang held nothing back.

Fire has no direction, clouds have no form. Inner force transforms into fire, and fire is controlled by the palm. Immediately, the Fire Cloud Palm, which combines extreme hardness with softness, is unleashed at the ghostly figure.

The fiery energy swept across all directions, the heat current like a raging torrent, instantly engulfing everything.

The boundless sea of ​​fire instantly transformed the corridor into an endless inferno.

The Fiery Cloud Palm, carrying waves of heat capable of scorching mountains and boiling seas, tore the surging horde of vengeful spirits to shreds. The ghostly figures formed from black mist emitted piercing shrieks the moment they touched the flames, their rotting limbs writhing and disintegrating in the intense heat before finally dissipating into wisps of smoke.

But the power of the ghost realm was far from exhausted. Suddenly, spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the ceiling, and a dark green, viscous liquid poured down, condensing on the ground into twisted ghost claws that grabbed at the two from all directions.

The ghostly hands, composed of some unknown viscous liquid, actually withstood the high temperature of the Fiery Cloud Palm, and more than a dozen ghostly hands attacked Mo Jiang from all directions.

Although he didn't know what the asphalt-like substance was, Mo Jiang knew that if he were caught by the ghost hand, he probably wouldn't fare well.

Since the Ghost Hand can withstand high temperatures, let's try another ultimate technique.

Immediately, Mo Jiang put his five fingers together, raised his palm to form a knife, controlled the knife with his mind, and used the knife to generate momentum.

The extremely powerful and yang internal energy transformed into an indestructible blade of light, which was unleashed through Mo Jiang's right arm.

The unforged blade of light was born and slashed towards the ghost hand.

With this slash, Mo Jiang's eyes remained calm and still, as if all his senses, emotions, and humanity had been stripped away the moment the slash was delivered.

There is only one word to describe it: Absolutely!
