Code Name Ksitigarbha

The ghost soldier summoned by Chen Gou had come out of the Gate of Rebirth.

What kind of desire could a male ghost have for a man?

The answer was revealed the next moment.

The ferocious-looking ghost soldier suddenly swooped down and agilely attached itself to the back of the leader of Cell One as it hugged him by the neck and bit him.

Its human-sized mouth opened wide and bit the hard stone armor into pieces as though it was paper.

Then, the leader let out a miserable scream as the ghost bit off a piece of fist-sized flesh from his neck and swallowed it without chewing.

After eating the flesh, the ghost soldier went even madder and revealed perverted excitement as it gnawed wildly at the screaming leader.

In a matter of seconds, only a spine with some strips of flesh was left, and the rest of the body had disappeared.

This scene gave everyone the creeps.

Chen Gou, who had started it all, couldn't help but gasp. This ghost soldier had starved to death when it had been alive, so its identity in the Netherworld was that of a starving ghost.

Due to the torture of hunger it had experienced in life, its craving for flesh had become its magic skill.

It had used the Food Gnawing Skill just now, which could not only easily tear the target's armor but also temporarily increase its strength by swallowing food.

"What… What kind of evil spirit is this?!"

"It's a ghost from the Netherworld! What grade is his skill if he can summon a ghost from the Netherworld to fight for him?"

"This won't do. This ghost is too terrifying. Our strength has been suppressed, so we can't deal with it. We can't fight with him anymore…"

As they watched their leader being bitten to death, the others looked at Chen Gou, feeling so scared that even their courage to continue fighting was draining away.

They didn't want to face such an evil ghost, nor did they want to give up the chance to live.

So…

The people in Cell One and Cell Three, who had become allies, suddenly looked at each other grimly.

Seven people were left on Chen Gou's side, so since they did not want to face the evil ghost, only three of their remaining eight people would pass the Blood Umbrella Organization's test.

"Kill!"

A chaotic battle broke out without warning, and the two groups that had just been fighting side by side fought against each other in the blink of an eye.

Humanity had been twisted for a long time.

With only three places left, the established survival rate was just over 30%.

"Is there anything else?" The ghost soldier, who had broken flesh hanging from the corner of its mouth, said with a smile, "If there's nothing else, take care of the bill and I'll go back."

"You have to work until the end. Kill them all." Chen Gou's eyes flashed as he spoke and pointed at the two parties fighting in front of him.

These people were destined to be the dregs of society, so they'd better die.

"Your wish is my command."

The ghost soldier let out a queer laugh and suddenly opened its mouth wide again.

It wasn't going to eat someone this time. Instead, it spat out a mist of scarlet blood.

The mist of blood spread along the air currents and enveloped the people in Cell One and Cell Four instantly. However, they unknowingly inhaled the mist.

A moment later…

Roar!

Someone let out a beastly roar and thus opened Pandora's box.

Those people, who had all gone crazy, fought and bit each other!

The ghost soldier's skill could actually affect the mind.

It could turn people into starving ghosts and cause them to madly tear the flesh of their own kind.

It was a tragic sight.

The cave had simply become a human purgatory!

Upon seeing that Chen Gou was livid, the ghost soldier said sarcastically, "This is nothing more than a child playing house in the 18 levels of Hell…"

"You may leave!"

Chen Gou threw the two Corrosive Poison Skill Crystals over so that this evil ghost would go back quickly.

"The human world is still the best. Fresh blood sacrifices happen everywhere… Unfortunately, I probably won't get another chance to see it."

The ghost soldier turned around quite reluctantly before entering the Gate of Rebirth to return.

It had come to the human world through the Gate of Rebirth and could only stay for a while. Otherwise, it would be in danger of vanishing completely once the Gate of Rebirth closed.

Chen Gou also immediately put the Rebirth Sword into the storage space, as if the skill duration was almost up and it would automatically disappear.

In theory, nobody would suspect anything because outsiders couldn't understand what a portable space without a physical carrier like the system's storage space was.

"How is this the Gate of Rebirth? It's simply the Gate of Terror!"

Chen Gou had mixed feelings. The Rebirth Sword was not weak, but it could not be used lightly.

This time, a ghost soldier had cost him two bronze-grade Skill Crystals. What if it was a ghost official, ghost general, or even the ghost king in the future?

To put it simply… this skill was very expensive!

As the ghost soldier left, the scarlet ghost mist gradually dissipated and the people who had been frantically tearing their companions apart woke up.

The four survivors looked at the shredded flesh and mutilated corpses before them in disbelief.

Based on the teeth marks on the corpses, they could guess what had just happened.

"We… did all this?"

One of them was so pale that he didn't seem to have a trace of blood left. He then vomited on the floor when he saw the half-mutilated fingers and had a complete breakdown.

"This is not where a human should be staying. I don't wish to live anymore, I don't wish to live anymore… You are not humans. None of you are humans… You are ghosts! Evil spirits!"

Bang!

He leaped up and crashed into the stone hall, causing his skull to shatter as he fell dead to the ground.

"Ha ha! It's good that he died! We have the right number of people now!"

A strong man was crying and laughing like a small kid. The more he laughed, the more tears he shed and the more maniacal he became.

It was the same man who had scolded An Zhanyu in the beginning.

He had turned completely into the reviled scum he had mentioned earlier.

Amidst the pool of blood, a few scattered glowing crystals were visible.

After the death of a human Awakener, there was a certain chance of condensing Skill Crystals or Origin Crystals, but the probability was much lower compared to other magical creatures.

Just a moment ago, more than 20 people had died, but only four Skill Crystals had been dropped.

"Congratulations, you have successfully passed the test and are officially traitors, wanted criminals, and outright b*stards."

Violent Bear appeared at the cave entrance, followed by An Zhanyu, who walked in with a big smile. He was clearly very satisfied with the show that had taken place in the cave earlier.

"The crystals on the ground will be your gift for joining the organization. They're for you guys."

Violent Bear obviously didn't have good intentions. There were nine people in total… but there were only four crystals. How were they going to divide them?

There were nine people because the member of the Wildfire Team called Noah had just died after succumbing to his serious injuries.

Fortunately, the three survivors from Cell One and Cell Three had voluntarily backed out. Weak people like them wouldn't dare compete with Cell Six.

Angeline went over to pick up the four crystals and brought them to Chen Gou.

As expected, these crystals were low-grade and included one silver-grade and three bronze-grade ones.

If they had been high-grade or even gold-grade, Violent Bear wouldn't have given them to them.

Chen Gou only took a silver-grade Skill Crystal called Bloodthirsty Rage. "You guys can take the rest."

Angeline didn't say anything and just silently put them away. The Wildfire Team had also paid a huge price for this battle and lost a member.

"Now, each of you can give themselves a code name. You'd better think it through before saying it. This code name will be reported to the organization for record-keeping and cannot be changed once it has been confirmed."

Violent Bear always carried two mallets, his eyes scanning everyone before landing on Chen Gou. "Let's start with you."

"Code name Ksitigarbha," Chen Gou answered without consideration.

"Ksitigarbha?" Violent Bear clearly didn't understand what it meant. "Are you sure you want to use this strange code name?"

"I'm sure," Chen Gou replied expressionlessly.

Until Hell is empty of suffering beings, I will not become a buddha1!

His disgust for the Blood Umbrella Organization had reached a place deep down in him.
