Virus King - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: The Ghost Girls! Terrifying Telekinesis! Kneel!

TL: YYang

“Yan Qi, I chose to leave on my own. This has nothing to do with him! Please, I’m begging you, stop killing people!”

“If I don’t kill, how will I level up?! Without leveling up, how can I protect Yan Xue?! Sister, listen to me and go back. Once I deal with this intruder, I’ll return to protect you!”

These were two completely different girls.

Yet they were entirely the same.

It seemed contradictory, but when placed on these two figures, it felt strangely fitting.

The two girls looked almost identical.

Even their outfits—school uniforms—were exactly the same.

However, upon closer inspection, one would notice their completely contrasting auras.

One was frenzied and violent, while the other was serene and gentle.

The former radiated killing intent, malice, and venom. Despite her sweet appearance, she resembled a ghost straight out of a horror movie.

The latter exuded helplessness, tenderness, and fragility, like a girl-next-door type.

In the spacious villa’s living room, a tug-of-war began between the two!

However, whether alive or dead, it seemed the one with the stronger personality had the upper hand.

Finally, the sister named Yan Qi broke free from her younger sister’s grasp. She turned and stormed toward him.

At the same time, Chen Bai’s mind was interrupted by a notification.

[Hidden condition met. Special quest triggered: “Haunted House”!]

[Haunted House (C-Rank)]
[In a seemingly ordinary villa, you encounter two creatures who may be of your kind. Ghosts harbor intense hostility toward any intruder!]
[Quest Objective: Kill the two ghosts!]
[Quest Reward: 1000 experience points, Ghost Hairpin (C-Rank Equipment).]

Chen Bai didn’t dwell too much on the quest itself.

However, he was intrigued by the two ghost creatures.

Ghosts weren’t limited to mutated monsters; many were Evolvers as well!

With various talents and professions, Evolvers could sometimes transform into ghost-like states.

Such creatures were particularly troublesome in the early stages of the God and Devil Trial Grounds, as they were immune to most physical damage and often wielded potent mental powers.

They were notoriously difficult to deal with.

Speaking of ghosts, the most infamous undead in his previous life might even be someone Chen Bai knew in this one.

That’s right, the Myriad Wood Ghost Mother of Fengtian City. Chen Bai strongly suspected she was somehow connected to Liu Huai.

To stumble upon two little ghosts in an ordinary villa?

If they were typical ghost creatures, he’d simply destroy them. After all, Chen Bai’s formidable mental strength needed a good sharpening stone.

However, encountering such rare twin ghosts, both in ghost form? This was a rare find indeed.

Chen Bai was never a benevolent man. After decades in the apocalypse, its rules had become much simpler:

If you wanted something, you took it.

Clearly, these two ghost sisters, identical in appearance but vastly different in demeanor, were intriguing enough to catch his attention.

Yan Qi moved swiftly, her form gliding through the air.

Her eyes burned with hatred, a seemingly endless reservoir of resentment, which was likely the main force sustaining her existence in this place.

She despised anyone who dared to enter the house,

Intent on killing anyone who tried to disrupt the peace she and her sister shared!

Only through this violence could she feel truly at ease.

Although she retained the abilities of an Evolver—the forum, and other related functionalities—

The intense resentment radiating from her terrifying mental power had already eroded much of her original human consciousness.

If things continued like this, she was destined to become one of those creatures teetering between a ghostly monster and an Evolver, ultimately falling completely and emerging as a mere sacrificial pawn of Cosmic Will’s Evolution.

Such beings existed solely to provide experience points and loot for other Evolvers!

But clearly, she didn’t realize this yet.

A ghost’s continued existence relied not just on innate talent but also on its resentment and obsessions!

It was unclear what drove the younger sister, but for Yan Qi, it was undoubtedly the former.

“Kill! Anyone who dares disturb the peace between me and my sister—no matter who they are—must die!”

Her venomous voice made the temperature in the room drop noticeably.

Ignoring her younger sister behind her, Yan Qi propelled her ghost body straight through the walls and the material door of the house.

But the moment she passed through the door and stepped inside, she froze in place.

Ordinary human eyes could rarely perceive telekinesis.

Mental power, a force tied to the soul, was often intangible and formless.

But that only applied to normal humans. Yan Qi was no ordinary human.

In the eyes of the ghostly girl, this room seemed to churn with overwhelming spiritual waves, like crashing tides spiraling throughout the space.

And at the eye of this spiritual maelstrom lay a figure, calmly resting on the bed.

That figure.

In this moment, the man Yan Qi had labeled as an intruder disturbing her sister’s peace appeared to her as the king of the spiritual realm!

The terrifying telekinetic force within the endless storm had coalesced into a massive throne.

And the only one who could sit upon it was the man at its center.

Even Yan Qi, whose heart was brimming with hatred and resentment, found herself frozen in place, unable to take even a single step closer!

Because at that moment, the figure opened his eyes.

Those eyes had no whites, no pupils—only endless darkness.

The storm of mental power rippled through the space, creating visible waves in the air.

Black flames rose alongside the mental power’s vibrations,

While those infinite, abyssal eyes locked firmly onto her. The sheer, invisible pressure rooted her in place, her body unable to move even an inch.

Fear.

For the first time since the apocalypse began, she felt fear.

In that moment, Yan Qi seemed to realize what she was doing.

The overwhelming telekinetic force obliterated her resentment, along with her bloodlust and malice!

Then, a voice thundered through her soul, shaking her very being and causing her ghostly form to tremble uncontrollably.

“Kneel!”
