Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department

Chapter 723 - 721: Gen Family Business’s Mental Breakdown

Sponsored

The Gen Family Business does not know if Shuiheng Mountain has any treasure.

Before coming here, the Gen Family Business had already investigated all available information thoroughly.

Since he’s here, he doesn’t plan to leave alive.

He’s taking a gamble.

Using life and death as stakes.

"I’m going in."

The Gen Family Business stepped into Shuiheng Mountain.

At this moment, Mo Lin’s voice echoed in his mind, and a helpless smile appeared on his lips as he murmured to himself.

"If he knew I was doing this, he’d surely blame me."

As he stepped into Shuiheng Mountain, his body was instantly drenched by rainwater.

The Gen Family Business walked along the path forward.

Ahead lay a vast expanse of white misty water.

The dense fog cloaked the path ahead, with visibility less than two meters.

This phenomenon was very strange, raining and dense fog at the same time.

The Gen Family Business felt like he kicked something, he glanced down—it was a severed leg.

Then he scanned his eyes, the ground was covered in corpses.

He dared not be careless and used Nirvana Fire to protect his body.

A distant white giant suddenly appeared before him.

The speed was so swift, it was hard to make out its figure, almost like the shape of a dolphin?

The Gen Family Business had no time to dodge and was directly swallowed whole.

The sensation of his body being torn apart spread through him.

In pain, his body convulsed, experiencing the true feeling of death.

The Gen Family Business abruptly awoke.. as if waking from a dream.

Still the same place, still the same position.

Before he could react, his body was sliced in half.

Blood splattered, he once again experienced the sensation of death.

The Gen Family Business opened his eyes again, finding himself back in the same position.

"Bang!"

His skull was shattered by an unknown object, brain matter flying.

The Gen Family Business opened his eyes once more.

"Ugh.."

Perhaps unable to bear the repeated experience of death, he vomited.

The Gen Family Business finally understood that here he would endlessly repeat the true sensation of death.

Until his spirit broke down and perished.

At this moment, he couldn’t distinguish between dream and reality.

The Gen Family Business felt his mind becoming increasingly cloudy.

Repeating and experiencing the sensation of death like this...

Suddenly..

The Gen Family Business snapped awake, discovering blood and flesh marks in his fingernails, his body covered in scratches.

It seemed he was tearing at his own right arm.

The Gen Family Business seemed to understand how those others died.

This uninterrupted repetition of experiencing death leads to mental breakdown, causing people to do unimaginable things.

As these thoughts emerged, and the Gen Family Business collected himself.

He found himself slumped on the ground, covered in blood, the walls stained with flesh.

A sharp pain came from his forehead, he touched his forehead.

Blood was seeping from it.

Was he self-harming?

Or committing suicide?

From losing consciousness to regaining it, he had no idea how much time had passed.

Strangely, he had no memory of any feelings before regaining consciousness.

It was as if his mind had isolated those memories.

The Gen Family Business opened his eyes again, finding his left hand grasping his own neck.

The sense of suffocation seemed to briefly restore his clarity.

He glanced around at his surroundings.

They were different now; he didn’t know where he had come to.

Was it inside a cave?

"I want to die.. I don’t want to live anymore, I want to kill myself.."

Hearing these words from his own mouth made the Gen Family Business pause.

He didn’t even know why he said such things.

"So tired.."

The Gen Family Business murmured to himself, "I don’t want to experience this feeling of living worse than death, I want to die..

I want to die quickly and painlessly."

At this moment, he desperately longed for death.

Death, to him, was liberation, a path to happiness.

The Gen Family Business held a sharp rock in his right hand, slowly cutting towards his neck.

Blood dripped gradually.

He seemed oblivious to the pain, ready to end his own life.

At this moment, Mo Lin’s image appeared once more in his mind.

Strangely, the Gen Family Business hadn’t thought of Mo Lin, yet Mo Lin’s image actively surfaced in the depths of his mind.

"No.. I can’t die.. I still owe him a debt.

I must become stronger, I must help him."

This strong will exceeded the instinct of survival, allowing the Gen Family Business to persist.

.....

At this time, Mo Lin, along with Hou Hongfang and Qu Qing, headed for Shuiheng Mountain.

The three stood outside the entrance to Shuiheng Mountain.

Qu Qing looked at Shuiheng Mountain and slowly spoke, "This mountain is strange,

It can no longer be called a mountain; using Shuiheng Mountain as a medium, it nurtures a mountain spirit."

As a Four Lives Reincarnation Immortal, Qu Qing possessed such insight.

Similar to the methods of nurturing ghosts, but obviously the mountain spirit surpasses ghosts.

"This Hengshui Mountain is a trap, there won’t be any magical treasure inside," Qu Qing said tactfully.

This low-level trick only fools people lacking insight or desperate to become strong.

It cannot deceive someone like Qu Qing, a Four Lives Reincarnation Immortal.

Even Hou Hongfang saw there’s no so-called magical treasure.

Knowing beforehand it was surely a trap.

"No..."

Hou Hongfang analyzed, "It’s a trap indeed, but why did Goddess Xin Ziruo come?

Maybe there’s actually something inside."

Xin Ziruo came once, so perhaps there’s something.

But what she couldn’t obtain, who can an ordinary cultivator secure?

"Lord Mo Lin, your friend may have already died inside." Hou Hongfang said gently to Mo Lin.

He spoke gently, avoiding blunt words.

Even if there is some treasure, why would the Gen Family Business get it?

Are others fools?

Is Xin Ziruo eating filth?

Were those who died in Shuiheng Mountain all idiots?

Of course.. there’s maybe a one in a thousand chance.

But it’s not realistic.

"I’m going in." Mo Lin wanted to go in and find the Gen Family Business.

In his heart, Mo Lin had long considered the Gen Family Business a friend.

He couldn’t let the Gen Family Business die inside.

Alive, he wants to see him, dead, he wants to see the body.

Qu Qing and Hou Hongfang exchanged glances, hesitating whether to enter with Mo Lin.

"Let’s go, we’ll come with you." Qu Qing said slowly.

"Let’s go, I’ll go too. If we encounter trouble, we can support each other.

At least ensuring we don’t die inside." Hou Hongfang agreed.

Despite speaking demoralizing words, he remained reliable in action.

Thus, the three walked into Shuiheng Mountain.

Rain poured down from the sky.

Hou Hongfang took out Copper Coins.

Copper Coins emitted light, protecting the three, isolating them from the rain.

"My Copper Coins have the ability to ward off evil."

Hou Hongfang pointed at the rain and slowly said, "This rain mustn’t touch the body, there’s surely something wrong with it."
