Inside the pitch-black warehouse, Si Ye stood by the window with a look of panic on his face.
The window was blocked by a deep brown curtain, leaving only a crack through which he could see everything outside.
Si Ye glanced at his phone; it was noon.
Yet, it was still dim outside; the sun had not risen.
The sky was already shrouded in a layer of gloom, as if the entire world had fallen into an apocalypse.
“What a deadly wait!” Si Ye’s expression was grim; he had transmigrated.
Moreover, he had transmigrated into the desperate Mysterious Revival World, currently situated in Dachang City where the Starvation Ghost Incident was occurring.
The crucial point was that Si Ye was just an Ordinary Person, not a Ghost Controller.
In other words, during the Starvation Ghost Incident, he possessed almost no ability to fight a Fierce Ghost.
Among the three laws of the Mysterious Revival Worldview:
Ghosts cannot be killed.
Only ghosts can deal with ghosts.
Discern the rules of the ghost.
Besides these, the only substance capable of restricting Fierce Ghosts is Gold.
And Si Ye, as someone who had suddenly transmigrated, met none of the above conditions.
He was not a Ghost Controller capable of dealing with ghosts, nor did he have any Gold in his possession.
Watching the time tick by, Si Ye couldn't help but close his eyes.
Fortunately, there was a line of text in his mind, which was the reason he could hold on until now without collapsing.
“Time remaining until the Yin Feng Zhen Zhen System awakens: 01:45:12.”
That’s right, the System.
Si Ye suspected his transmigration was related to this so-called Yin Feng Zhen Zhen System.
“Sigh, what a hassle. Other people transmigrate as overwhelmingly powerful beings, but I have to wait for my System to awaken.”
Twenty-two hours had passed since Si Ye arrived in the Mysterious Revival World.
If he hadn't happened to transmigrate to this location, a warehouse containing plenty of food, he would have already been forced to go out searching for sustenance.
Perhaps in the process of searching for food, he might have been targeted by a Ghost Infant spawned by a Starving Ghost and subsequently killed.
Time slowly passed.
The entire city was frighteningly quiet; aside from the occasional distant screams and the cries of Ghost Infants, there was no other sound.
The bustling Dachang City was gradually dying because of the presence of Ghost Infants.
Fortunately, having already persisted for twenty-two hours, the remaining two hours were not as panic-inducing for Si Ye.
The footsteps occasionally appearing outside the window, while still eerie and terrifying, also brought Si Ye some peace of mind.
At least everything that had happened since he arrived in this world was not significantly different from what was written in the book.
Fierce Ghosts have their own rules; as long as one does not violate the Killing Rule, they will not be attacked by Fierce Ghosts.
The Killing Rules for Ghost Infants at different stages are: hearing, seeing, and touching.
Knowing the intelligence is one thing; confirming it is another.
With the intelligence confirmed as true, Si Ye could at least stop being paranoid.
Soon, the countdown in Si Ye’s mind only had a few seconds left.
“Is the System finally awakening?”
Si Ye’s face lit up with joy, his mind filled with fantasies, yet also some worry.
The Mysterious Revival World is too bizarre; who knows if there might be something like a System Ghost?
However, Si Ye considered the possibility of the System being a ghost to be quite low.
After all, Si Ye was a transmigrator. If such a terrifying Fierce Ghost existed, it could have locked onto him or fabricated his memories the moment he transmigrated.
A being that powerful, why bother creating a System?
If such a thing existed, it wouldn't be something the current Si Ye could resist.
“Beep, the Yin Feng Zhen Zhen System has awakened, binding to the host.”
“Beep, unknown error occurred, unknown error occurred.”
“Beep, determining world information, locating world.”
“Detected as Mysterious Revival World, unknown error in teleportation location.”
Si Ye listened to the continuous sounds in his mind, his expression strange.
What was going on? Did the System accidentally send him to the wrong world?
According to the System, he should have transmigrated to a world that wasn't this terrifying.
But due to some unknown accident, he ended up in the Mysterious Revival World?
The voices in his mind continued until they finally calmed down after a while.
“Hey, System, what’s the situation now? If you sent me to the wrong world, are you going to take me back?”
Si Ye felt the activity in his mind cease before he actively asked.
“Host detected, initiating host binding.”
“World displacement detected, this System refuses to bind, initiating compensation mode, clarifying host doubts.”
“Due to the transmigration event, System energy is insufficient to transport the host again.”
“Therefore, this System will issue a compensation gift package to the host before unbinding.”
“Adapting to current world rules, modifyingNewbie Gift Pack (Novice Gift Package), creating compensation gift package.”
“Do you wish to open the compensation gift package?”
Si Ye’s expression turned grim as he listened to the System’s voice.
What the heck, it’s unbinding?
He wanted to protest, but he knew such words were meaningless.
Instead of protesting, he might not even get the compensation gift package, so he might as well accept it.
At least this world, despite its danger, contained some interesting elements.
Although those interesting elements might come with immense danger.
But it was better than the mundane world of his previous life where he could see the future at a glance, wasn't it?
Besides, with the compensation gift package, he should at least have the initial ability to contend with Fierce Ghosts.
“Open the compensation gift package,” Si Ye said.
“Yin Feng Zhen Zhen System is opening the compensation gift package for you.”
“Congratulations on obtaining the Passionate Youth Template, fuse and use?”
“Congratulations on obtaining the Fierce Ghost Card Maker, shall you control it?”
Upon hearing this, Si Ye checked the details of the two rewards from the novice gift package.
Passionate Youth Template: Allows you to become very inspiring, especially when playing cards, becoming even more inspiring.
Once a certain level of inspiration is accumulated, you can release the awakened skill: Soul Form.
Looking at the information for the Passionate Youth Template, and then at the ghost called Card Maker, Si Ye’s expression became strange.
“Yin Feng Zhen Zhen, inspiring, Soul Form, Card Maker?”
“Could this be a card game System? It was supposed to take me to a world like Three Kingdoms Kill.”
Although thinking this, Si Ye said nothing, instead looking at the information for the Fierce Ghost named Card Maker.
Card Maker: A Fierce Ghost that can be used for making cards and playing games; specific functions are for self-development.
“Well, it really is a card-playing Fierce Ghost.” Si Ye felt powerless to complain.
Since he dared not make a sound now, he could only say this silently in his heart.
“Fuse Passionate Youth Template, control Card Maker.”
As Si Ye’s voice fell, he immediately felt a sharp pain course through his body.
