Chapter 214

Can you imagine the scene when you open a coffin and find two dead boy and girl children sitting inside, looking lifelike?

It scared the hell out of people and made them shiver!

What was even more absurd.

Xu Mingyue also described the process of making their corpses in great detail.

It said that when the children were alive, mercury was injected from the top of their heads, and then mercury powder was applied to the surface of their bodies, just like making a specimen. After ten thousand years, the body would not rot, only turning greenish and faintly black...

Even the blood vessels and the holes where the mercury was poured were described as if she had truly seen them!

What is called professional?

This is called professional!

Professional to the point of being insane!

Gu Gu Qingyao swallowed her saliva frantically, her soul scared away.

Under the empathy talent, in a trance, she even saw the pair of boy and girl children staring straight at her, their faces pale, with red dots painted on the corners of their mouths!

It looked festive, but it was extremely chilling!

It wasn't until Hu Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang buried them, saying they were ancestors, that Gu Gu Qingyao felt much better.

And at this time, in the sixth group of the Feilu Novel Network editorial department, it was no better than Gu Gu Qingyao's situation.

The whole room, in broad daylight, was permeated with a gloomy atmosphere!

The expressions of every editor switched back and forth between shock, fear, and terror.

They could only rely on talking to relieve the cold air that was frantically rising in their hearts.

"This book is too scary!! My god!"

"In broad daylight, I feel like something is crawling behind my back."

"Oh my god, me too!"

"Holy crap! When I saw those two dead children, I was almost scared to death! Even the living Red Hou wasn't as terrifying as them! The Japanese actually caught living children and killed them so cruelly; they really aren't human, a bunch of beasts!"

"Agreed!"

"I feel that the part where a group of headless corpses knelt to the locust tree was also super scary!"

"I was so scared I couldn't find my soul!"

"To be honest, it's indeed scary but also super exciting and good-looking; I can't stop at all! It's like watching the movie *Ringu* they filmed; while being afraid, I can't help but want to keep watching!"

"This pair of twins is truly amazing! They are only nineteen years old, at the age when they should be full of vitality, yet they are first-class at playing with horror!"

"I would like to call them Underworld Artists, Horror Masters. Previously they created *Xi*, *Ringu*, and now they have to add another one... *Ghost Blows Out the Light*!"

"Actually, there is an even more terrifying thing. I don't know if you have noticed, but this novel is different from the previous supernatural novel writing style; it combines supernatural, suspense, and tomb raiding in a wild and imaginative way. Without a doubt, this is a new novel genre, which can be called the tomb-raiding genre!"

"And Xu Mingyue has become the founding ancestor of this genre!"

"This is the true strength of the Roll King!!! They not only rolled the update speed, but also amazingly created a novel genre!!!"

"..."

A gentle editor wearing glasses said.

After the words fell.

In an instant, the room was silent enough to hear a needle drop; all the editors gasped, shocked!

There is no doubt that *Ghost Blows Out the Light* is a new genre!

The tomb-raiding genre—is born!

"Ghost Blows Out the Light" officially went on sale starting from Chapter 56, and the first volume, "Ancient City of Jingjue," only has 47 chapters, which means readers can read the first volume for free.

Even for the second volume, "Longling Maze," a small portion of the content is also free to read.

By six o'clock in the evening, many readers who had free time and read very quickly had already finished the first volume, and some had even reached the second volume.

The book review section was unprecedentedly popular, with fans commenting frantically.

Comments like "High energy ahead," "Bullet screen protection," "Scared to death!", "Scared to pee," "Where is my skull?", and "The wives are bullying this pure-hearted young boy again" kept appearing.

Even the paragraph comments after every paragraph in the novel were piling up like crazy.

Especially for those horror-filled passages, the threads were dozens or even hundreds of levels deep!

And on the internet, there was more and more feedback regarding "Ghost Blows Out the Light."

"Xu Mingyue's new book is incredibly good! I can't stop at all!"

"I admit I've been bewitched; it's so damn addictive! PS: This is not an excuse for me to slack off at work and read novels!"

"The new work is truly brilliant!"

"I'm completely obsessed with it!"

"People light candles, ghosts blow out the lights!!! When the rooster crows and the candle goes out, don't touch the gold!!! This sentence alone is enough to make me climax!!! The setting is just too perfect! How did Xu Mingyue come up with it?"

"And 'For dragon seeking, look at the winding mountains; each winding is a pass; if the pass has a thousand locks, there must be kings and nobles residing within!' This line is also absolutely amazing!"

"Sister Cult Leader is awesome!"

"Reading 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' feels like I've become the protagonist exploring various great tombs myself! It's so magical; I never expected to see such a magical novel in my lifetime."

"As expected of the work of the Xu Mingyue wives, I didn't wait in vain; it's too good!"

"I was originally indifferent to the first-person perspective, but this novel successfully made me ignore it. It even seems to have a kind of magic that gave me an immersive tomb-raiding experience."

"God-tier immersive tomb-raiding experience..."

At Feilu Novel Network, Gu Gu Qingyao rubbed her eyes, which were sore from reading, and couldn't help but smile as she looked at the netizens' comments.

However, thinking back on her own experience reading the book, it did indeed feel quite immersive.

Seeing Hu Hu Bayi open the coffin only for the candle to go out, her heart jumped into her throat, and her heartbeat accelerated.

Seeing the zombie appear, the hairs on her body stood on end, and her spine felt cold.

Seeing the protagonist and the others finally emerge from the great tomb, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Rarely does a book manage to torture her so delightfully.

She thought to herself.

Gu Gu Qingyao's slender fingers swiped, continuing to browse the netizens' feedback, and she found that more people, like her, felt this book was tense and exciting.

"Scared to death! It made me afraid to go to the bathroom... I'm a grown man, and in broad daylight, I'm afraid to go to the bathroom!"

"You seem quite proud of that?"

"Hahaha, I reckon the wives want to scare me to death so they can inherit my millions of Joy Beans."

"It's truly super terrifying! Paper women, dead children, desert army ants, corpse-fragrant konjac, fire ladybugs... each one can make a person die very peacefully! Only the protagonist group has plot armor and strong enough luck! If it were anyone else, they would have died who knows how many times!"

"The terrifying thrill makes my scalp tingle and my adrenaline surge, but I'm both scared and want to keep watching; I simply can't stop!"

"Me too!"

"I have to say, could the Xu Mingyue sisters really be descendants of a tomb-raiding family? This book is written too realistically! All kinds of Feng Shui, geography, historical allusions, folk culture, I Ching and Bagua knowledge, etc., are all at their fingertips; it's too amazing! And there's also their unconstrained imagination and endless inspiration! It's truly awesome!"

"Agreed, compared to them, what are those people in the entertainment industry who pretend to be intellectuals?"

"The Xu Mingyue sisters cross their arms and lean back tactically: 'So, you say you're intellectuals?'"

"..."

The internet was extremely lively, with numerous trending topics, and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was receiving overwhelming praise.

For many of Xu Mingyue's fans, supernatural novels might be something they aren't used to, as many people don't like reading this kind of novel.

Moreover, they had previously been hooked by "Shrouding the Heavens," which was a Xianxia novel, completely different from the supernatural suspense style of "Ghost Blows Out the Light."

But when they tried to take a look, just one glance was enough to instantly captivate them.

The brilliant plot and prose hooked them tight.

That feeling of roaming through a bizarre underground world, sparking all sorts of wild ideas in the fans, made people feel like they were on a high, unable to stop.

However, it was indeed very scary.

The terror, combined with intense mental stimulation, reached its peak under the effect of the empathy talent.

So much so that many fans, when reaching the exciting parts, would be scared while simultaneously slapping their thighs and saying: "As expected of Xu Mingyue!"

In fact.

It wasn't just readers; countless web novel authors were also paying attention to "Ghost Blows Out the Light."

However, unlike the readers' focus, these authors' attention was on the novel's genre.

Although "Ghost Blows Out the Light" belongs to the supernatural and suspense categories, it is clearly a new type of novel!

Countless web novel authors were stunned!
