Chapter 1 A Voice

The voice continued to echo, leaving Yuan Mu Ye at a loss. After all, it was his first time experiencing something like this.

Moreover, the guy was just talking without showing himself.

What terrified Yuan Mu Ye the most was that he couldn't sense where the other person was hiding.

The most likely reason he couldn't sense him was that he was no match for him.

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. Let's have a good chat."

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

The owner of the 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 really attack him.

After all, he couldn't tell whether what the 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 want to get out. Maybe we can discuss how to leave this place together, don't you think?"

"Useless."

He directly denied Yuan Mu Ye.

This made Yuan Mu Ye extremely uncomfortable.

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

Making it impossible for Yuan Mu Ye to take further action and determine how to develop the situation.

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

But the other party said, "I've tried many times and failed. Staying here isn't bad either. The yin qi (ghostly energy) is sufficient, making it suitable for cultivation."

"You're an evil ghost, I'm a living person. What's suitable for you isn't suitable for me."

Yuan Mu Ye said unhappily.

Seeing that the 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 increasingly uneasy.

He remained silent and simply didn't speak.

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

The city must have completely fallen. The daylight hours definitely wouldn't be long. The place was completely shrouded in yin qi, which was indeed suitable for evil ghosts to survive.

However, it wasn't very likely that ordinary evil ghosts could survive here.

After all, the world of evil ghosts must also be a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Without strong abilities, they would basically only face death.

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

The person behind him seemed to be comforting Yuan Mu Ye, wanting him to stay here with him.

Yuan Mu Ye didn't bother to waste any more words with him.

Standing by the bed, Yuan Mu Ye thought for a while and decided that he still wanted to leave.

The only thing blocking Yuan Mu Ye's path was that black shadow. As long as he killed the black shadow, he should be able to leave this building.

Thinking of this, he didn't delay and quickly found Gui Shiye (Ghost Advisor).

He wanted to find a way to break the situation.

After listening to Yuan Mu Ye's words, Gui Shiye said, "In response to Milord, that black shadow may be a Di-level (Earth-level) Grade 1 ghost spirit. It's not easy to deal with. With your current strength, Milord, it's still not enough."

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

Yuan Mu Ye said directly.

"Milord, I'm afraid I can't."

Gui Shiye hesitated, but still refused Yuan Mu Ye's request.

Yuan Mu Ye felt a little depressed after hearing this.

He had never encountered a Di-level Grade 1 evil ghost before.

He didn't know what the black shadow's strength was. But when they fought just now, Yuan Mu Ye felt that he was no match for the black shadow at all. He was basically in a state of being completely crushed.

He had no chance to resist at all.

From this, he could tell that the evil ghost's strength was indeed very strong.

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

After thinking for a while, Yuan Mu Ye decided to think of another way.

He asked Gui Shiye, "If you can't help, do you have any other ideas?"

"In response to Milord, no."

He said this decisively.

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

"In response to Milord, I can't be sure."

Yuan Mu Ye began to feel increasingly annoyed and 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 let you off easily."

Gui Shiye felt a little scared after hearing Yuan Mu Ye's words.

He said to Yuan Mu Ye, "Milord, I wouldn't dare, I..."

"Shut up, do you hear me?"

Yuan Mu Ye didn't bother to listen to his nonsense.

Seeing Yuan Mu Ye scolding him angrily, Gui Shiye 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 my location."

Yuan Mu Ye: "..."

His conversation with Gui Shiye just now could basically be said to be soundproofed. Ordinary people definitely wouldn't be able to hear it.

But the owner of the voice heard their conversation.

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

And not just a little stronger.

It could even be said to be outrageously strong.

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

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

Or rather, were there any familiar things of his left behind 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 a drawer and found a contract of his.

This contract was one that he had just signed.

It was a big deal, but he didn't get to see the big deal operate and make money before the accident happened.

This made him quite regretful.

But what's done is done. Thinking about these things didn't do any good.

He continued to rummage through it and soon found a high school group photo of his.

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

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

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