Global Horror: With My Netherworld Trillions, Game On! - Chapter 11

Chapter 11: A Ghost’s Test! Grudge Skull Necklace in Action!

Lin Yu saw the blood-red text, feeling as shocked as Xiao Li.

But thinking it over, it made sense…

After all, this was a horror game’s dungeon!

A place with an extremely low survival rate!

Although he’d managed to secure his safety temporarily with ghost currency…

Had he lacked enough of it or even hesitated slightly…

He might’ve already lost an arm when that teacup shattered!

And those seemingly “friendly” ghost guests — if he hadn’t offered them food and drink, they would likely have tried to make a meal of him.

Even with his wealth of ghost currency, he wasn’t absolutely safe!

Thankfully, he now had some means of self-defense.

Lin Yu touched the Grudge Skull Necklace around his neck, feeling a bit more at ease.

At that moment, the door of the underworld inn suddenly closed.

Clap!

The wooden door shut, and the sign at the entrance flipped from “Open” to “Closed.”

In the hall, clusters of pale-blue ghost flames appeared out of nowhere, illuminating the dim surroundings.

Yet the cold light only added to the eerie atmosphere!

Xiao Li, who had already been scared by the news of two deaths, turned even paler.

In contrast, Lin Yu remained calm.

With his newfound spiritual awareness, though he couldn’t yet sense Yin energy clearly, he was no longer frightened by everything he saw.

Next, the accountant ghost, who had been helping Lin Yu all day, began preparing the largest table in the hall once more.

“Young Master, we’ll be dining together here shortly. It’s a tradition at the Yellow Springs Inn!

“Our simple fare may not be much, but I hope it suits your taste!”

The accountant ghost said in a raspy voice, smiling pleasantly.

Just then, a cold, aged female voice rang out, “Old Ghost Li, why are you showing such respect to a new errand boy?”

The voice was filled with undisguised malice and sarcasm, making it clear that this person didn’t get along with the account-keeping ghost.

Lin Yu turned to see a woman dressed as a farmwife, her head wrapped in a blood-stained cloth.

Her face was covered in hideous bumps, and her eyes were pale blue, making her even more frightening than the account-keeping ghost.

Following behind her was a mature, alluring woman with ghastly scars covering her face and hands.

She looked at Lin Yu and Xiao Li with surprise, then a flash of resentment crossed her face.

With his enhanced insight, Lin Yu noticed these subtle expressions, but he was unconcerned about her thoughts.

What intrigued him more was the tension among the Yellow Springs Inn’s residents!

The account-keeping ghost heard the farmwife ghost’s mocking tone and snorted dismissively, “Madam Zhang, your long hair must have stifled your brain!”

The farmwife ghost, known as Madam Zhang, was in charge of cleaning and managing the storeroom at the inn.

There was indeed a long-standing rivalry between the two.

The account-keeping ghost didn’t bother to remind her of Lin Yu’s status, and Madam Zhang, hearing his retort, gave Lin Yu a long, cold look.

It was clear this ghost was ruthless and narrow-minded, as evidenced by the scarred woman following her.

Madam Zhang had been locked in a struggle with the accountant ghost for years, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

Unable to vent her frustration on him, she instead directed her anger at Lin Yu, “You, errand boy, why haven’t you cleared the table? Are you slacking off?”

Madam Zhang barked sharply, gathering Yin energy in her hand, which formed into a broom.

The woman behind her looked at the broom with deep fear.

Madam Zhang sneered with satisfaction, her bumpy face twisting into a cruel grin.

“Since Old Ghost Li is weak and useless, I’ll teach you some rules!”

With that, she swung the broom, heavy with ghostly energy, directly at Lin Yu’s face!

But Lin Yu watched the scene calmly.

Bang!

The next moment, an invisible force repelled the broom.

The Grudge Skull Necklace around Lin Yu’s neck emitted a piercing, invisible scream!

Madam Zhang cried out, stumbling as the force hit her, disbelief on her face.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu stood undisturbed, a faint smile appearing.

As he had suspected…

The Yin energy necklace could withstand attacks from a ghost general-level entity. Though he didn’t know the exact hierarchy among ghosts, this unimpressive farmwife ghost was certainly no ghost general!

Among the other ghostly guests, there were likely several on her level, and their combined Yin energy in the necklace had been enough to injure her!
