Chapter 257: The Game between Taichu and Siming
There was a corpse on the dome, which was well preserved. There was no decay and no wounds. The corpse looked very fresh, as if it had just died not long ago. Even the chains and nails that nailed it to the dome seemed to be part of his body, perfectly natural.

What was even more bizarre was the posture of the corpse. Its head was pressed tightly against the ceiling, and its limbs were each bound by a black chain. An extremely long nail passed through the corpse's vital parts and came out from its forehead, fixing it to the dome in a standing position.

"So ferocious!"

Cao Yang just looked up. The ghost of the corpse had already affected and eroded him. His vision was being deprived, and the brilliance in his eyes was as flickering as a candle in the wind, as if it would go out at any time.

At first Cao Yang thought it was a coffin nail. After all, in the supernatural circle, only coffin nails can keep most evil spirits in check.

"It's not a coffin nail. It seems that the chain and the nail are not much worse than a coffin nail."

Cao Yang withdrew his gaze. After just less than ten seconds of staring, his vision had been completely deprived. This was not an attack by a ghost, but because his own level of terror was too high, affecting everything around him all the time.

"There's no need to provoke the ghost that's suspected to be the source of the ghost light for now."

It is now nine o'clock in the evening and the night is long. Cao Yang's first night in the City of the Dead is destined to be extraordinary.

"Look in a lighted room."

Along the way, Cao Yang had lost count of how many ghosts he had killed, and there were hardly any terrifying ghosts among them, not even as terrifying as Liu Yin's ghost slaves whom he met in the island country.

On the other hand, after killing the unknown man in the tailor shop, Liu San was not in a hurry to go to the ghost market, because some paper people had already gone ahead to explore the way, so there was no need for him to take all the paper people in.

"Precognition is really useful. Just now, that ghost was trying to trick me with ghost money. This six yuan will be used as the cost of burying him."

Liu San held the two three-yuan ghost coins in his hand and said casually.

"Go take a look at other shops. Although they are certainly not as rich as the pawnshop, a mosquito leg is still meat, so it's not shabby."

The two paper men were connected in thoughts, and their consciousness and senses were shared. He knew what he should do without even saying a word.

At the same time, Qi Chaosheng, also known as Qi Ming, was also facing danger at this moment. His luck was not very good, and there were several evil ghosts around him who were targeting him. But no matter whether it was Qi Chaosheng or Qi Ming, the supernatural powers they possessed were not suitable for head-on confrontation, and the situation became a little delicate for a while.

"Brother Qi, what should we do now?"

Qi Chaosheng in reality growled in a deep voice. The ghost he controlled was codenamed "Doing Good and Accumulating Virtue". It mainly relied on stealing other people's supernatural powers and could also raise "good corpses". However, he had just become an alien and had not yet begun to grow, so he did not master enough methods.

"Find a way to solve it yourself. I won't die anyway. At worst, I can leave with your identity. I can live well without you, but you will definitely die without me."

A cold voice without a trace of human emotion rang in Qi Chaosheng's mind. It was Qi Ming. The two had reached a deal a long time ago. Qi Ming helped Qi Chaosheng become an alien, and Qi Chaosheng sold his "identity" to Qi Ming.

The other party was not joking. Qi Chaosheng knew best how terrifying the ghost Qi Ming was. When he first appeared, he even used the image of Old Lu, so he was able to shock Qi Chaosheng.

Now that the deal was done, Qi Ming didn't want to care about Qi Chaosheng's life or death. Although Qi Chaosheng was angry, he didn't dare to refute. He had to use his own supernatural powers to resist the invasion of the evil spirit.

"The Rewarding Department? You are useless. It was a mistake for Elder Lu to train you."

Qi Chaosheng didn't know how he had offended this evil star, but reality didn't allow him to continue thinking. He could clearly feel that the identity of Qi Chaosheng was trying to pull out of his body. By then, he would become an empty shell, without an identity and without any spiritual power.

"If God wants to kill someone, he will first make him mad." The situation is critical, but Qi Chaosheng has not given up. He has paid too much for this step, and the pride in his heart makes him unable to tolerate any failure on his own.

"Xiantian Wutai, Taichu Qiming, I think you should obey me and give me the identity ghost."

Qi Chaosheng's expression instantly calmed down from panic and fear, and then an extreme indifference and numbness appeared on his face, just like a real ghost.

"Qi Chaosheng, have you gone insane, or have you already..."

Qi Ming made a sarcastic remark, but he stopped halfway through his words because he thought of a possibility.

"You shouldn't underestimate me, and you shouldn't overestimate yourself. Mr. Lu's choice is not wrong. Whether it is your Five Innates or our Four Destinies, every ghost is carefully selected by him."

"The Reward Department is responsible for doing good deeds and accumulating virtue; the Punishment Department is responsible for warning evil-doers; the Underworld Law Department is responsible for deciding life and death; the Secret Investigation Department is responsible for sharing the cycle."

"Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue means doing good deeds and raising good corpses. There is a difference between good and evil, and each has its own body. What you get is just the tide of good thoughts. What does it have to do with the tide of evil thoughts?"

The next moment, a man squeezed out from the bustling crowd of ghosts. This man had exactly the same face as Qi Chaosheng, but his entire face was rotten, his expression was hideous, and his whole body was filled with a lingering aura of death.

"you dare?!"

Qi Ming's tone was a little frightened. He had always been the one scheming against others, but today was the first time he was schemed against by someone else.

"What am I afraid of? Taichu, are you very strong?"

The evil Qi Chaosheng, with a grim smile on his face, approached the good Qi Chaosheng step by step, and the two of them seemed to be about to merge together.

"Qi Chaosheng, you'd better think about the consequences. Just because you have a backup plan doesn't mean I don't."

Qi Ming is still threatening.

Of course he has a backup plan, but he may not be able to defeat Qi Chaosheng by himself. He needs help from several other teammates.

Following the evil Qi Chaosheng, two more ghosts squeezed over. They lined up on the left and right, staring at the two Qi Chaoshengs who were merging with turbid and dead eyes, as if they were going to attack him in the next second.

"Oh, it's quite lively."

However, at this moment, another inopportune voice sounded, and the evil spirits around instantly fell down in groups like kites with broken strings.

A paper man with an arrogant expression walked over, stepping on the corpses of a group of evil spirits.

"Qi Chaosheng, you are not dead yet, but it doesn't matter. I will kill you every time I see you in the future, and I will also issue a global wanted notice in the headquarters system. Congratulations, you will be a street rat from now on."

Liu San casually kicked away the evil ghost at his feet. Behind him, another large group of evil ghosts fell down. Two or three paper men rushed out from the group of ghosts, like thugs who were about to start a fight on the street.
