Spiritual Recovery: Gamification of Reality

The next second.

Rapid footsteps sounded from outside the door.

Skinny Monkey.

Xu Bai opened the door and saw Skinny Monkey standing there. His face was covered in blood, and his clothes appeared disheveled.

Skinny Monkey looked as if he had just survived a disaster. He looked at Xu Bai who had just opened the door and panted to calm his racing heart. “Something happened, Boss.”

It seemed that Skinny Monkey had also been ambushed by the evil spirit. Xu Bai didn’t say anything. Instead, he made way for Skinny Monkey to enter.

“Here.”

Xu Bai led Skinny Monkey to the wine cabinet. He turned around and poured a glass of bourbon for Skinny Monkey. “Calm down.”

Skinny Monkey took the bottle and thanked him. Then, he downed the bottle in one go.

Then…

Skinny Monkey couldn’t help but pinch his throat and cough.

Xu Bai wanted to laugh.

After a while.

Skinny Monkey coughed a few times and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. After seeming to have recovered, he looked up at Xu Bai. “Boss, you will never guess what I just encountered.”

Xu Bai was curious.

“What?”

“An evil spirit.”

Skinny Monkey leaned forward and said mysteriously, “The evil spirit of the Yin World, Express Yin. When I got home, I saw that evil spirit darting out of my father’s memorial tablet, saying something about wanting me to tell you where the thief who stole the Yin Soul is.’

Xu Bai caught on to the key words, “Empress Yin?”

Skinny Monkey was slightly stunned. He looked at Xu Bai and said, “Didn’t I tell you that the Netherworld is controlled by the empress?”

Xu Bai shook his head.

“No, you haven’t.”

“No? Ever since the Holy Maiden of the Holy Sect caused a ruckus in the Yin World, everyone in the Great Desolate World knew that the Yin World was ruled by a peerless Empress.”

“I’m not from the Great Desolate World.”

“… Alright then.”

Skinny Monkey opened his mouth, then shook his head and continued, “Fortunately, Boss improved my cultivation technique. That evil spirit couldn’t kill me but was instead repelled by me. I quickly came to look for you, Boss” He paused.

Skinny Monkey looked at Xu Bai in confusion. “Boss, what did that evil spirit say just now? About the thief who stole the soul of the Yin World? Could it be you, Boss?”

Otherwise, there was no way to explain all of this.

But…

Xu Bai shook his head. “No. However, the Yin World Empress you mentioned is from the Yin World of the Great Desolate World. By the way, can the Yin World of the Great Desolate World come to the Federation World?”

Skinny Moneky shook his head. “I don’t know. However, the Grand Desolate World and the Federation World are in the process of merging. Perhaps the Yin

World has already merged. After all, haven’t I been reincarnated into the Federation World?”

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Bang!

An evil spirit that appeared a little dusty fell from the black fog and landed on the cold and reflective floor. It could not help but moan.

Damn it.

After becoming an evil spirit with great difficulty, it thought that it had caught a big fish. How could he encounter a trascendent?

As the evil spirit thought about this, it struggled to turn its body over from the floor. However, just as it was about to get up, it suddenly caught a glimpse of the high heels with willow nails from the corner of its eye.

The next second.

The evil spirit quivered and got up from the floor. Then, it slid down on its knees and pressed its head firmly against the floor. It shouted at the owner of the willow-nailed high heels.

“Empress.”

“What is it?”

The voice of the owner of this pair of high heels, who was referred to as empress by the evil spirit, was cold and quiet, like a mountain spring in a deep forest.

Simply put…

Her voice was extremely cold.

The evil spirit couldn’t help but shiver. It didn’t dare to be negligent and hurriedly said, “Empress, we have found the clue to the thief who stole the souls of the Yin World.’

As soon as he finished speaking.

It sounded like metal had hit with something. Immediately after, the evil spirit heard some more sounds, but they seemed to have been blocked. He tried hard to listen, but it was in vain.

After a while.

The empress’s cold and quiet voice sounded again.

“Who is it?”

“I don’t know yet.”

The evil spirit subconsciously answered. Then, he heard a cold laugh reach his ear. Its spirit body instantly shivered as it hurriedly said, “After I followed him, I realized that it wasn’t that thief. However, I had a feeling in the Yin World. Initially, I wanted to control him and make him tell me the whereabouts of the actual thief.’

“And then?”

“And then…”

The evil spirit, whose entire head was lying on the floor, opened its mouth, and its tone gradually lowered. “I didn’t hit him. He’s a trascendent, and a human cultivator at that.”

As he spoke.

The evil spirit seemed to be very afraid of the empress’s anger and quickly defended itself, “But I already know where he is. Moreover, I left a mark on him. I can…”

With her hands in her pockets, the empress looked down at the evil spirit with narrowed eyes.

“Where?”

“It’s in the old factory community. I’ll go there now and I promise I’ll find the thief.’ “No need.”

“Wha…’

“Didn’t I say that without my permission, no one from the Yin World is allowed to approach the Old Factory Community?”

The evil spirit quivered and seemed to have thought of something. It subconsciously raised its head and looked at the empress before it.

But…

This was the first time he raised his head and ntoiced the appearance of the Yin World Empress. However, it was also the last time.

When the evil spirit saw the empress’s voice, which was as cold and quiet as her voice as if she was slashing both men and women, it felt as if its vision had turned black.

Bang!

The evil spirit kneeling on the floor did not even have the chance to scream. In an instant, it turned into ashes.

After doing all this, the empress’s expression didn’t change at all. She put her right hand back into her pocket.

The next second.

The empress said again.

“You Lian.”

“Your Majesty.”

Following another female voice that sounded like a deep valley, a valiant-looking female general clad in battle armor silently appeared in front of the empress.

“Go to the Reincarnation Pool, find him, and throw him into the Inferno Prison,” the empress said coldly.

The female general named You Lian cupped her fists and looked at the empress.

“Your Majesty, then the Old Factory Community…”

“Ignore him.”

The empress was expressionless. “I don’t want any souls of the Yin World to appear there. Remember, it’s any souls of the Yin World.”

Lady General You Lian, who had followed the empress to the Federation, didn’t say anything else. She cupped her fists and disappeared.

In the old factory community.

A few wisps of black mist emerged from the body of the Skinny Monkey who was talking to Xu Bai. Then, they dissipated in an instant. Skinny Monkey was stunned when he saw this scene.

“This…’

Skinny Monkey blinked and looked at Xu Bai. “Boss, that evil spirit is dead?” Xu Bai nodded and said nothing.

Just a moment ago, he glanced at Skinny Monkey’s status bar, which showed the status of “Evil Spirit Entanglement.” He was still pondering with Skinny Monkey about how to trick an evil spirit over so they could understand it better.

In the end…

This evil spirit didn’t seem to give them any chance at all. Before he and Skinny Monkey could come up with a plan, the evil spirit seemed to have a premonition of its own ending and chose to end itself.

“What do we do now?”

“You’re asking me?”

Xu Bai returned to his senses and looked at Skinny Monkey. “You just said that the evil spirit emerged from your father’s memorial tablet?”

Skinny Monkey nodded. “The tablets have always been a symbol of the passage connecting the Yang world to the Yin world. As long as the Yin world wants, they can appear in the Yang world through any tablet, but..

“What?”

“This is the old factory community.”

Skinny Monkey scratched his head and looked at Xu Bai. “When I was following the Saint, they seemed to have mentioned that traces of Yin Souls have been found more or less everywhere in Feng City, except for the Old Factory Community. They all said that the Old Factory Community might be a blessed land.”

“Is it that magical?” Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

He had only been in contact with the trascendent world for less than a month. Although he had become a disciple, Zhu Cong, who had also just become a disciple, was dragged away by Su Bancheng before he had the time to spread the basic knowledge.

Therefore, it was still the same thing.

Xu Bai had the ability, but his theoretical knowledge was lacking.

Skinny Monkey nodded, but he didn’t dare to be too confident. “Anyway, that’s what the people from the Saint said back then. Now, it seems that they’re not so sure.”

Xu Bai didn’t say anything.

The phone rang at this moment.

Xu Bai retrieved his phone and opened it. He looked at the caller ID and smiled.

The next second.

Xu Bail s expression tightened as he answered the call.

He opened his mouth.

“Gao Lan, did something happen to Xiaowei?”

“Something happened to Xiaowei? What happened?”

Xu Bai heaved a sigh of relief. Hearing Gao Lan’s confused voice, he shook his head. “It’s almost 11 0’clock. When you called, I assumed that something had happened to Xiaowei.”

Gao Lan also laughed. “Don’t worry, Xiaowei’s condition is very stable. I just got off the operating table and I’m hungry. Do you want to come down and have supper with me?”

“Sure.”

“When will you arrive?” Xu Bai asked without hesitation.

Gao Lan, who was already standing downstairs, looked up at the building in front of her and said with a smile, “I’m already downstairs.”

“I’ll be right down.”

“Yes.”

Xu Bai hung up the phone and looked at Skinny Monkey. “Forget it, we’ll talk about it tomorrow. Go back and sleep first.”

“Sleep?” Skinny Monkey said with lingering fear. “I don’t plan to sleep tonight.”

When he was awake just now, he was almost choked by the evil spirit.

If he fell asleep, would another evil spirit appear?

Skinny Monkey seriously suspected that he might not wake up.

Xu Bai smiled and comforted him. “Don’t worry. Although I don’t know why the evil spirit died, it’s better than him being alive. Go back to sleep. Let’s go.” Skinny Monkey nodded hesitantly and followed Xu Bai out of the room.
