Chapter 1 A Mysterious Voice

That voice continued to echo, leaving Yuan Mu Ye unsure how to respond, as this was his first time experiencing something like this.

Moreover, this fellow only spoke but didn't show himself.

What made Yuan Mu Ye especially fearful was that he couldn't sense where the other party was hiding.

The biggest reason he couldn't sense them was likely that he was no match for them.

Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but take a deep breath and adjust his breathing.

Then, he slowly said, "If that's the case, come out, and we can have a good chat."

"I don't need to come out. We can chat without that. Besides, if I come out, you'll attack me."

The owner of that voice seemed to see through Yuan Mu Ye's thoughts, which made Yuan Mu Ye quite uncomfortable.

If the other party really came out, Yuan Mu Ye might actually attack him.

After all, Yuan Mu Ye couldn't determine whether what this guy was saying was true or false.

"You're making us sound like strangers. Come out. We can have a good chat. You also said you've been trapped here for a long time and must want to get out. Perhaps we can discuss how to leave this place. What do you say?"

"It's useless."

He directly denied Yuan Mu Ye.

This made Yuan Mu Ye quite frustrated.

This guy just wouldn't come out no matter what.

It made it impossible for Yuan Mu Ye to take further action and further assess how this matter should develop.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Mu Ye didn't respond.

The other party then said, "I've tried many times, and they all failed. If I can't get out, I'll just stay here. Actually, this place isn't bad. The yin qi (negative energy) is abundant, suitable for cultivation."

"You're an evil ghost, and I'm a living person. It's suitable for your cultivation, but not for mine."

Yuan Mu Ye said unhappily.

Seeing that this guy wouldn't come out, Yuan Mu Ye had even less desire to waste words with him.

"You can't fool me. I know you're different from ordinary people. You also have a ghost form, right?"

The other party seemed to know all of Yuan Mu Ye's secrets, which made him even more uneasy.

He remained silent and simply didn't speak.

Instead, he walked to the bedside and looked at the dark scene outside.

This city should be completely lost. The daylight hours will definitely not be long. This place is entirely covered by yin qi. This kind of place is indeed suitable for evil ghosts to survive.

However, it's not very likely for ordinary evil ghosts to survive here.

After all, the world of evil ghosts must also be a case of the strong preying on the weak. Without strong abilities, there's basically only death.

"I think you can improve your strength here. When you're strong enough, you can find a way to leave here."

The person behind him seemed to be appeasing Yuan Mu Ye, wanting him to stay here and keep him company.

Yuan Mu Ye was too lazy to waste any more words with him.

After standing by the bed and thinking for a while, Yuan Mu Ye decided that he still wanted to leave this place.

The only thing blocking Yuan Mu Ye's path was that shadow. As long as he killed that shadow, he could probably leave this building.

Thinking of this, he didn't delay and quickly found Ghost Advisor.

He wanted to find a way to break the situation.

After listening to Yuan Mu Ye's words, Ghost Advisor said, "Reporting to you, my lord, that shadow is probably a first-grade earth-level ghost spirit. It's not so easy to deal with. With your current strength, my lord, it's still not enough."

"Can you come out now? Help me deal with the shadow outside."

Yuan Mu Ye said directly.

"My lord, I'm afraid I can't either."

Ghost Advisor hesitated for a moment and still rejected Yuan Mu Ye's request.

Yuan Mu Ye was a little depressed after hearing this.

Yuan Mu Ye had never encountered an earth-level, first-grade evil ghost before.

He didn't know what the shadow's strength was. However, during the previous confrontation, Yuan Mu Ye felt that he was no match for the shadow at all. He was basically in a state of being completely crushed.

He didn't have a chance to resist at all.

From this, it could be judged that the evil ghost's strength was indeed very strong.

With his current strength, it wouldn't be very realistic to deal with the evil ghost.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Mu Ye decided to think of other ways.

He asked Ghost Advisor, "If you can't help, do you have any other methods?"

"Reporting to you, my lord, no."

He said this decisively.

Yuan Mu Ye began to feel speechless towards Ghost Advisor, but still asked, "Then do you know what strength the guy who was talking to me just now is, and where he's hiding now?"

"Reporting to you, my lord, I can't be sure."

Yuan Mu Ye began to feel increasingly annoyed and directly cursed, "You don't know anything. What use are you to me? Remember, we signed a contract. Don't go too far, or I won't make things easy for you."

Ghost Advisor felt a bit of fear in his heart after hearing Yuan Mu Ye's words.

He said to Yuan Mu Ye, "My lord, I dare not, I..."

"Shut up, you hear?"

Yuan Mu Ye was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

Seeing Yuan Mu Ye scold him in anger, Ghost Advisor naturally didn't dare to say any more nonsense.

After he closed his mouth, the place returned to silence.

All sounds seemed to disappear.

After waiting for a while, the previous voice sounded again, "Actually, you don't need to look for where I am."

Yuan Mu Ye: "..."

His conversation with Ghost Advisor just now was basically soundproof. Ordinary people definitely couldn't hear it.

But the owner of this voice heard their conversation.

Yuan Mu Ye's heart began to churn, feeling that the owner of this voice seemed to be much stronger than he had imagined.

And not just generally strong.

It could even be said that he was ridiculously strong.

This made Yuan Mu Ye even more uncertain, but he really wasn't in the mood to answer that guy's words right now.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Mu Ye wandered around the office. Since he could return to his office before his rebirth, could there be some mystery hidden here?

Or rather, were there any familiar things left here?

Since he couldn't get out now, he might as well take a good look at some of the things from the past.

Arriving at the office, Yuan Mu Ye opened the drawer and found a contract of his.

This contract was one he had just signed.

It was for a big deal, but he hadn't even seen this big deal operate and make money before the accident happened.

This made him quite regretful.

But what's done is done. Actually, thinking about these things doesn't do any good.

He continued to search, and before long, he found a high school graduation photo.

This was something Yuan Mu Ye always carried with him. He cherished those years of schooling very much.

But as he looked at it, he suddenly realized that the people in the photo seemed to have changed.

For a moment, Yuan Mu Ye was a little uncertain. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, but found that the photo immediately returned to its original state, without much change...
