"What!"

"Where's the anomaly?"

The crowd panicked and looked around, but found nothing.

"Fang Xiu, what nonsense are you talking about? There's no anomaly here," a colleague angrily glared at Fang Xiu.

"Yeah, what are you trying to scare us for at this time?" another said.

Fang Xiu looked calmly at the crowd, his handsome and fair face appearing even more delicate in the darkness, and his emotionless expression giving off a strange feeling, as if he were a living doll.

As the crowd was staring at him with those dead calm eyes, they felt uneasy all over.

Suddenly, Fang Xiu spoke.

"Wang Xiaoli is gone."

Wang Xiaoli?

"Nonsense, Wang Xiaoli was just next to me. Wang Xiaoli, say something," a colleague shouted.

But there was no response from Wang Xiaoli.

The person suddenly felt a chill in their heart, quickly taking out their phone to take a picture, only to find that Wang Xiaoli was really gone from where they were.

"Wang Xiaoli! Wang Xiaoli!"

They shouted twice, but still got no response.

The crowd went into chaos.

"Wang Xiaoli really disappeared!"

"Could it be that an anomaly really appeared?"

"Fang Xiu, did you see what the anomaly looked like?" Wang Ziteng suddenly asked.

Although Wang Ziteng had conflicts with Fang Xiu, he wouldn't fight at a time like this.

Fang Xiu calmly replied, "My line of sight was obstructed by the darkness, so I didn't see the anomaly, only Wang Xiaoli disappearing."

His calm appearance was as if the thing that had disappeared wasn't a person, but an ant.

A normal person would scream loudly or at least show signs of panic when faced with such a strange situation. However, Fang Xu calmly explained the process of Wang Xiaoli's disappearance without any emotional fluctuations.

The people present were not fools. Having worked in the professional world for many years, they all had the ability to read people's expressions and body language. They could tell that Fang Xu's composure was abnormal.

Suddenly, Wang Ziteng became suspicious and asked, "Fang Xu, you don't seem to be afraid of ghosts. Are you a spiritual master?"

Fang Xu shook his head and asked, "What is a spiritual master?"

Wang Ziteng looked even more puzzled.

"A spiritual master is someone who can control their own spiritual power. I don't know the specifics, but apparently, spiritual power is a force within the soul. My cousin said that there is a tremendous power hidden within everyone's soul, but each person's soul is covered in dust, like a night pearl covered in dirt.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

A spiritual master is someone who can wipe away the dust and allow the soul to radiate with spiritual light."

Wang Ziteng wanted to continue explaining, but Wu Dahai interrupted, "Young Master Wang! It's already such a critical moment. Why are you wasting time explaining things? People are disappearing, and we need to find a way to escape."

"Shut up!" Wang Ziteng shouted, "Escape? How can we escape? Where can we go? Only three people have disappeared so far. If we run around randomly and trigger a taboo of the ghosts, we might all die!

Besides, what I am saying now is a secret that concerns our lives and deaths!

Do you think spiritual masters are born with their abilities? They acquire their abilities through contact with the ghosts in this domain.

As I mentioned before, everyone's soul is covered in dust. To wipe it away, two conditions must be met.

First, one must experience a great terror between life and death. Only by experiencing the baptism of life and death can the dust on the soul be loosened, or one can be subjected to a significant stimulus, which can stimulate the soul.

Secondly, one must come into contact with the ghosts and allow their power to invade the soul.

Just like a cloth, wiping away the dust.

However, it is worth noting that although the power of ghosts can wipe away the dust on the soul, it carries a kind of pollution. While polishing the soul, it also pollutes it.

If the soul is compared to a dusty night pearl, then the power of ghosts is like a bloody cloth. It can wipe away the dust, but it will inevitably stain the night pearl with blood.

The so-called spiritual radiance is actually the distorted product of the soul's own luster after being twisted by the ghosts' power."

After listening to Wang Ziteng's explanation, Fang Xiu's mind was already calculating. It seemed that this was a world of idealism, where the power of a Spirit Master came from the combination of their own mind and supernatural power.

The state between life and death was the catalyst for both, just like the chemical reactions that required heating. The state between life and death was the heating process.

At this point, Fang Xiu was slightly puzzled. He had already fulfilled the conditions of being in contact with the supernatural and being in a state between life and death, so why hadn't his spiritual power been ignited? Or had it already been ignited, and he just hadn't realized it?

Wang Ziteng continued to explain, "Therefore, everyone present has the opportunity to become a Spirit Master. Once someone becomes a Spirit Master, there is hope of escaping the domain of the supernatural!"

"What are the characteristics of igniting one's own spiritual power?" Fang Xiu suddenly asked.

"First of all, the physical qualities surpass those of ordinary people, and the senses become very sensitive. After igniting one's spiritual power, one will awaken a unique ability that is a reflection of their own mind. There is no identical mind, so there is no identical ability."

Ability? Reflection of the mind?

Fang Xiu first thought of the ability to reset after death. Was this his ability?

No, that's not right. His physical qualities and senses were no different from ordinary people, and he had not been strengthened in any way.

And he had a vague intuition that the ability to reset after death should have been acquired after he traveled through, rather than ignited by spiritual power.

Judging from his comprehensive analysis, it seemed that he had not yet ignited his spiritual power.

So the question arose, since the ability to reset after death was not brought about by igniting his spiritual power, and he had already met the two conditions to become a Spirit Master, why had he not become one yet?

At this point, Fang Xiu suddenly realized that he had not met all the conditions because of the ability to reset after death.

He had met the condition of being in a state between life and death, which should not disappear with the ability to reset after death. It should be a mentality, just like memory, that does not change with the ability to reset after death.

After all, his mentality had already undergone a drastic change after multiple deaths.

But he had not met the condition of being in contact with the supernatural, because he died every time he was in contact with his wife, so this time was no different from not being in contact.

And those supernatural things on the street did not count as contact, because they did not exist for humans without the "seeing" condition.

This time, however, was different. The supernatural, hidden in the darkness, seemed to break into reality, able to kill without satisfying the "seeing" condition.

The disappearance of the mental hospital, the supernatural that could kill without "seeing", and the Spirit Master were all intertwined in Fang Xiu's mind.

There must be some connection between them, but it had not been discovered yet.

Although he was in danger now, Fang Xiu felt an unusual sense of pleasure at this moment because he saw the hope of revenge, which was to become a Spirit Master.

Suddenly, Fang Xiu's peripheral vision moved, "Someone has disappeared again."
