[Existing players have successfully identified the source of the supernatural power in Silent Town. This instance quest is complete. Please leave as soon as possible.]

Although the many players in Silent Town were dumbfounded, the completion of the quest was ultimately a good thing. Just as they were about to leave, the system prompt of the Otherworld sounded again.

[Ding! Detecting a sharp decrease in the number of ghosts in Silent Town, a hidden quest has been triggered! Closing instance exit passage.]

In Silent Town, several newly opened light gates were instantly closed.

An older player who was walking a little too fast almost had his head caught in the door, and he cursed under his breath, "Shit!"

[Hidden quest requirements: Please work together to resolve the source of the supernatural power and restore Silent Town to its former tranquility. Difficulty: Grade C]

Hearing the requirements of this hidden quest, everyone in Silent Town was dumbfounded.

What was going on? They hadn't even seen a ghost, so where were they supposed to find the source of the supernatural power?

They felt less like they had been on a quest and more like elementary school students on a spring outing. They had never had such a bizarre instance experience.

Which son of a gun triggered the hidden quest?

The Otherworld's prompt also woke up everyone in the underground cave.

"So, this is the source of the supernatural power in Silent Town... Damn it, those sons of bitches deserved to die!" Ma Fei clapped his hands in applause.

His words were immediately approved by the three girls present.

As women, they could empathize even more, and after hearing the whole story, they were even more enraged.

"Ah! I can understand that you've suffered misfortune, and your resentment is hard to quell."

Zhang Nianyu sighed faintly.

"But dust to dust, earth to earth. Now that you've taken your revenge, why don't you reincarnate? Why occupy the land and leave Silent Town as a scourge on the world?"

"You should know that if those ghosts outside harm people, the karma will all be counted on your head."

"Who said I've taken my revenge? This isn't enough. I want to torture them for another ten thousand years." The red-haired woman spoke. Her voice was ethereal and pleasant, like a wind chime.

Then, three translucent, blurred figures rose from the blood lake.

Two men and one woman. When everyone focused, they were the rat mother and son and the simple, middle-aged man from the earlier scene.

Their expressions were pained, and they were panting heavily, clearly suffering inhuman torment.

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. This isn't a reason for you to occupy the land and affect the innocent," Zhang Nianyu shook his head.

As a Daoist, he had his own set of principles.

Silent Town had killed countless innocent passersby over the years. The red-haired woman was pitiful, but that didn't mean she could harm the innocent.

"Daoist, you want to help them? Then you can die too."

The red-haired woman raised her hand, and several streaks of bloody silk shot out from the blood lake towards Zhang Nianyu.

"Left hand supports the Six Jia, right hand guards the Six Ding, Huang Shen in front, Yue Zhang behind, divine consciousness slays, no fear of the powerful."

"Divine Ghost Seven Kill Decree! Activate!"

Zhang Nianyu instantly threw out the yellow talisman in his hand. The two forces collided, stirring up waves several feet high in the blood lake.

Then, the woman suddenly asked, very abruptly.

"What are your names?"

Everyone subconsciously recited their names in their hearts.

"Stop playing tricks," Wang Tiezhu stepped forward.

"Miss, I know you've been wronged, and I sympathize with your story. If there's anything I can do to help you, I'm happy to do it… but!"

Wang Tiezhu changed his tone.

"If you try to attack again, my friend next to me can shatter you directly just by opening his mouth!"

Quan Xinrong crossed his arms and took a step forward very cooperatively, a sneer curving his lips.

"What mouth? I don't see it?" The red-haired woman tilted her head in confusion, giving a head-tilt kill.

The next second, everyone was horrified to discover that Quan Xinrong's mouth had disappeared without them knowing!

Below his nose, where his mouth used to be, there was only a smooth patch of skin.

"Mmph! Mmmph mmph!"

Quan Xinrong touched the area where his mouth used to be, his expression filled with terror.

"Attack together!" Wang Tiezhu reacted quickly.

No matter how pitiful the red-haired woman's background was, if they didn't act, they would become nourishment for the blood pool.

"Blind eyes, lame legs, broken arms, severed spines."

The red-haired woman gently uttered eight words. Then, Wang Tiezhu, Xiang Kaifeng, Quan Xinrong, Guan Shuangyu, Qiu Xin, and Zhang Nianyu all slumped to the ground.

Their limbs were bent at grotesque angles, and they lay on the ground, screaming miserably.

"Words become reality! It's actually words become reality!!! Impossible, how could a mere evil spirit be able to make words become reality!" Zhang Nianyu's voice was filled with terror.

Looking around, only Ma Fei, Yang Xiangdi, and Zhao Ziyue were unharmed and standing in place.

The situation in front of them left them somewhat dazed.

"Frenzy of Milk!"

Zhao Ziyue reacted quickly, holding the Moonflower Regenerator in her hand, and began to heal the six people.

"Blind eyes, lame legs, broken arms, severed spines." The red-haired woman repeated again, this time emphasizing her tone.

But only Wang Tiezhu and the others suffered. Yang Xiangdi and the other two were still unaffected.

"Strange... Could it be that those who are more handsome are not affected by her?" Yang Xiangdi scratched his head in confusion.

Ma Fei's eyes lit up instantly, "That's right! Your guess is correct, it must be that those who are handsome are not affected!"

Wang Tiezhu and the others lying on the ground started cursing in their hearts.

So you two really think you're more handsome than us? If you have the time to feel that way, why don't you kill the red-haired woman and save us!

The situation in front of her clearly exceeded the red-haired woman's control.

She frowned slightly and opened her thin lips again to ask.

"What are your names?"

"Me, the super invincible handsome guy! Yang Xiangdi!"

"Me, the super invincible, randomly selected, cosmic ultimate evolved combat dark tyrannosaurus handsome guy, Ma Fei!"

After clearly hearing the two's answers, the red-haired woman spoke again.

"Blind eyes! Lame legs! Broken arms! Severed spines!"

This time, she emphasized every word.

Wang Tiezhu and the other six were in so much pain they wished they were dead, and the two girls even passed out.

But Ma Fei and Yang Xiangdi were still unaffected.

Zhao Ziyue's forehead was covered in sweat. She was healing six people by herself, and she couldn't keep up.

"How is this possible…" A rare look of confusion appeared on the red-haired woman's face, making her seem a bit airheaded.

She was somewhat unwilling to give up and asked again.

"What are your names?"

"Stop asking, how could you even ask such a stupid question!"

A clear voice rang out from the depths of the tunnel.

Then, Qiao Yu's figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

He raised his head and looked calmly at the red-haired woman in the center of the blood pool.

"It's the same no matter how many times you ask. Your words become reality can't affect the four of us."

"Why? That's impossible!" The red-haired woman frowned tightly.

Qiao Yu shook his head. He had long learned the red-haired woman's secret from the Scholar Ghost.

"Nothing is impossible. Your words becoming reality requires two conditions. One is that you need to remember the eight-character spell you left at the entrance of Silent Town."

"The effect of reciting that spell is not to exorcise ghosts, but to indicate that you are willing to dedicate your body, mind, and soul to the Ghost King of Silent Town."

"The ghosts in the town see us as fools who are willing to be slaves, so they naturally treat us as their own and no longer attack us."

Qiao Yu raised a finger again.

"The second condition is that we have to say our real names in front of you. Even saying them silently in our hearts is effective."

"As long as these two conditions are met, it's equivalent to us voluntarily becoming your slaves, and only then can you make your words become reality."

The red-haired woman frowned even tighter. She slowly raised her head.

"From the beginning, you've been telling me a fake name?"

"Not really."

Qiao Yu spread his hands, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

"It's because the four of us are illiterate and don't even recognize the spell you left on the stone pillar."
