The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Even Snatching Things from Ghosts

The smooth and flat walls of the elevator reflected Qing Li’s figure from different angles. She raised her hand and pressed the button for the fourth floor.

The elevator made a heavy descending noise, then began to rise slowly.

“Creak—”

From above the elevator, there came a sound of wire friction and swaying, but there was clearly nothing there.

“Creak—”

The sound was so clear, as if something invisible was hanging and swaying on top of the elevator.

The audience in the live broadcast room, thinking of the skinned Ma Yue, felt a chill coming from beyond the screen.

?Could that sound be Ma Yue’s body swaying back and forth up there??

?But there’s nothing in the elevator. If it were Ma Yue’s corpse, the little village girl would definitely be the first to notice.?

?I don’t know why, but even though there’s no scary imagery, there’s an inexplicable chill that makes one shiver.?

?Look at your courage, not like me, who’s already printed out pictures of the little village girl and plastered them all over the wall. With the village girl’s protection, ghosts don’t stand a chance.?

?Is the person upstairs sure they’re not a pervert??

Qing Li raised her head. From her perspective, there was nothing in the elevator, not even a trace of the eerie, cold aura.

But she knew Ma Yue’s corpse was still hanging right above her head.

She could even feel the corpse passing through her body, its chilling aura attempting to corrode her innards, but it was instantly dissipated by the spiritual energy within her.

“Interesting,” Qing Li muttered, her eyes narrowing. She had begun to uncover the secrets of this hotel.

As the elevator ascended from the first to the fourth floor, its doors slowly opened.

Stepping out, Qing Li was engulfed in an overwhelming aura of gloom, mixed with a strong, pungent stench.

However, to the viewers in her livestream, the hallway appeared no different than before, until they noticed a startling and disturbing trail of blood leading from the stairwell to the end of the corridor…

Qing Li first approached room 404. Standing at the door, her gaze darkened as it fell upon the wooden door marked with nail scratches and dried blood, even a complete fingernail embedded in the wood.

?What happened to this door? It’s changed!?

?It’s not just the door, hasn’t the whole hotel seemed different??

?What’s going on here??

Some viewers had begun to realize the truth, while others remained confused.

?Do you know about alternate spaces? If I’m not wrong, this hotel is where two spaces overlap. The village girl was in the real world before, but stepping out of the elevator, she entered another dimension.?

This comment had barely been sent when the figures of Wen Yi and several others appeared in Qing Li’s live stream.

They walked past the stairway, seemingly oblivious to the bloodstains on the floor, heading towards room 403.

Qing Li stood with her arms crossed in front of room 404, not moving aside.

Then something bizarre happened.

Wen Yi, Zhou Ya, and the others passed right through Qing Li’s body.

The same place, different spaces.

The mysterious veil shrouding the hotel was lifted…

“Room 404’s door is closed. Do you think Qing Li has come back?” asked Wang Tingting.

Chen Dalei’s voice was barely audible as he replied, “Better if she died in the elevator.”

At that moment, he didn’t realize Qing Li was standing right beside him.

Hearing someone curse her to die right in front of her, Qing Li raised an eyebrow and drew a talisman in her palm, then slapped it across Chen Dalei’s face, causing his nose to bleed.

“Slap!”

The slap was powerful, sending the sturdy Chen Dalei flying, crashing into the corridor wall.

“A ghost… A ghost hit me…”

Chen Dalei, clutching his swollen half face, had eyes dilated with fear.

But… why did this slap feel strangely familiar?

This scene happened so quickly that other players didn’t even have time to react.

Wen Yi’s expression was solemn. He was about to tell everyone to hurry away when suddenly, a severe pain between his legs turned his face pale.

“Wen Yi, what’s wrong with you?” Zhou Ya noticed something was off.

The man was hunched over, his thighs unnaturally clamped together, as fine beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

“I’m… fine.”

Wen Yi gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain, “This place isn’t safe, let’s go quickly.”

The group fled in a panicked rush…

In the live stream, the audience was thoroughly entertained.

?Hahaha, that kick from the little village girl was damn perfect.?

?Serves him right, he wanted to have his way with our little village girl, a kick is already letting him off easy, he should’ve been castrated.?

?I turned the volume up to the max, it’s like I could hear the sound of balls breaking.?

?Listen~ the sound of balls breaking~ sighing for who’s been hurt~ but not knowing who did it~?

?Female ghost: Ultimately, I bear all the curses.?

Qing Li withdrew her foot, her face showing a hint of regret, “Ah, my shoes are dirty.”

Despite the two layers of fabric, they were still dirtied.

“System, are there shoes in the shop?” Qing Li asked.

The system, which had been feigning deafness, perked up at the mention of business, “Of course, leather shoes, cotton shoes, high heels, I have all the styles you want.”

Qing Li: “Then give me a pair that’s free.”

System: “No, get lost.”

The emotionless system, after dealing with Qing Li for a few days, had developed a bit of a temper.

This player was incredibly stingy to an infuriating degree.

Seeing that she had even driven the system to foul language, Qing Li backed down, “Then how about the cheapest pair of shoes?”

System: “The cheapest shoes are 150 popularity points, non-negotiable and non-refundable.”

Hearing the price, Qing Li clicked her tongue, “Damn thing, you really are a major swindler.”

System: “You don’t seem to have the right to say that to me.”

Qing Li: “Not buying, get lost.”

No deal means no more niceties.

But Qing Li soon knew where to get a pair of free shoes. She squinted her eyes happily and walked from the stairwell to the first-floor lobby.

The expressionless receptionist stood still like a soulless puppet, her face emotionlessly staring outside the lobby, waiting for new guests to arrive.

But she didn’t know that at that moment, a large hammer was raised above her head, ready to fall at any time.

“Bang—”

With a loud noise, the receptionist was smashed down by the hammer, her facial skin instantly torn into pieces, revealing her true face.

It was a carved wooden puppet face, but her eyes, ears, nose, and tongue were all replaced with human features.

Having damaged the human skin mask, the receptionist became instantly furious. She lay on the ground, yelling angrily in an empty direction: “I’ll kill you—I’ll kill you—”

Her eyes turned bloodshot and red.

Qing Li deftly took off her shoes and ran away at full speed.

She did it all in one go, as if she was very experienced in such matters.

The receptionist, watching her shoes being taken away, was so shocked her eyes nearly fell out.

“Damn, who is this heartless scoundrel, even stealing a ghost’s belongings…”
