I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Lin Yi walked to the sixth floor, in front of his "home" door.

Without much hesitation, he directly pushed the door open and entered.

The door wasn't locked, or rather, even if it were, Lin Yi completely ignored it, as if a ghost inside opened the door for him.

The room was cramped and dim.

The radio played opera, occasionally interrupted by static noise.

An old-fashioned wall clock ticked away, and the whole room was suffused with an elusive moldy smell.

This was a classic southern rental room from the 1990s.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

The clock suddenly chimed, and Lin Yi glanced at the time.

It was exactly six o'clock in the evening.

As the clock chimed, Lin Yi also saw plates of dishes appear on the wooden table in the center of the living room, accompanied by a notification sound in his mind.

[You have entered the Sealed Ghost Nest, currently at the highest difficulty level for this instance, please be careful.]

[Please note, there are special spirit creatures in this instance that will continuously affect your spirit and thoughts, keep a close eye on your San value.]

[If your San value reaches zero, you will descend into eternal madness, lost in this instance, becoming part of the ghostly beings.]

Indeed, there was significance in which station to get off. Getting off at other stations should also complete the "going home" task, just not at this level of difficulty.

Lost in thought, Lin Yi saw two bloody words appear on the clock glass before him.

"Eat."

Coming home to eat?

This instance task seems deceptively simple.

Approaching the table, Lin Yi first opened his personal panel.

Sure enough, he saw a hidden attribute unique to this type of instance.

[San value: An index measuring your current mental stability and normal thinking ability, influenced by spiritual attributes, professional traits, soul strength, etc.]

[Current San value: 456,321/483,647]

As expected, his San value was somewhat terrifying.

But this instance, it's only been over half an hour since he entered it anyway.

Excluding the time on the ghost bus, he had only been in the Sealed Ghost Nest for less than ten minutes and had already unknowingly consumed nearly thirty thousand San value.

Cannot be careless.

Lin Yi sat by the table, looking at the dishes on it.

There was fried liver tips, spicy beef and tripe slices, stir-fried kidneys, and stir-fried intestines.

Hmm, Lin Yi also saw grilled brain flowers.

Although Lin Yi wasn't picky about food, eating in this ghostly place, these things still gave him the creeps.

He picked up a piece of kidney with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

The next moment, an overwhelming bloody taste filled his mouth, and at the same time, he felt a pain in his own kidney.

Looking down, he realized that a bloody hole had appeared in his lower left abdomen, bleeding profusely.

Lin Yi was startled.

The table full of dishes now appeared bloody, and they were made from his own heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys!

"Eat!"

The bloody words on the table expanded, seemingly magical, tempting Lin Yi to devour his own organs!

Buzz——

A refreshing sensation surged to his mind, and in the next instant, his vision blurred.

The bloody words and terrifying dishes on the table vanished.

He was back in the state when he had just entered the door.

Dong!

Dong!

The clock chimed, with the hour and minute hands pointing to six o'clock.

It was all an illusion!

But this illusion was so strong that Lin Yi hadn't realized when he had fallen into it!

If not for the effects of the Immortal Fruit, Lin Yi wouldn't know what he would have encountered in that illusion at the end!

Seizing the moment of clarity, he opened the panel, surprised to find that his San value had changed!

[Current San value: 4,563,321/4,836,479]

If what he saw now was real, then something in the illusion had also altered his data.

His actual San value was much higher than what he saw in the illusion, exceeding it tenfold more.

Yet now, he was left with only 4,500,000!

The human spirit is amazing sometimes, when it believes your limit is a certain number, often at that number, you give up on yourself.

In the illusion, his San value was cut by a digit!

What a cunning ghost!

If it weren't for the Immortal Fruit and Lin You's enormous soul strength, he might have been caught, with San value plummeting by millions!

With the clock chiming, Lin Yi saw neither the bloody words on the table nor the plates of dishes made from his organs.

Because he was unsure if he had fallen into another illusion.

He waited.

Lin Yi had completely lost patience for this instance task.

Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

Another wave of clarity surfaced in his mind, and the scenery before him changed once more.

As expected, the malicious spirits wouldn't miss any chance to force him into an illusion.

But this time, under the purifying effect of the Immortal Fruit, Lin Yi uttered two obscure syllables the next instant.

Those were True Words!

Now Lin Yi could cast eighth-tier magic without restriction and instantly.

Even beyond instant, almost a thought, and the spell was formed.

And only Forbidden Curse required Lin Yi to use True Words!

As the two True Words were spoken.

Ripples of space instantly appeared around Lin Yi.

In the next moment, the ripples rolled into a tidal wave, causing the space in the "home" to shatter like a mirror!

A rift leading to the Netherworld was torn open by Lin Yi!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Like three mirrors shattering, Lin Yi broke through three layers of illusions in an instant.

As the illusions shattered, everything around Lin Yi changed rapidly.

Cracks appeared on the peeling wallpaper.

Blood-red moss, like ghostly clawed vines, grew wildly, covering the entire wall and hallway.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh..."

The wails from the Nine Nether Hell echoed constantly in Lin Yi's ears.

Forbidden Curse: Nether River Funeral!

The Nether River hadn't even taken shape, just the opening of a rift leading to the Netherworld was enough to shatter the illusions enveloping Lin Yi!

And Lin Yi realized there were more than three layers of illusion!

As the Netherworld rift expanded, cold, terrifying river water from the Nether River began to surge out.

Lin Yi found everything around him becoming eerier and more terrifying!

He seemed to have entered another world!

In the end, all illusions completely shattered.

The entire world became indistinguishable up and down, left and right.

The air was filled with red dust and a heavy smell of iron rust.

Aside from that, Lin Yi saw countless ghostly spirits haunting the edges of the world, screaming and wailing!

Among the countless ghostly spirits, Lin Yi also saw over a dozen monstrous spirit entities, each many hundreds of times larger than other fearsome spirits and wraiths.

One of the monsters was fleeing Lin Yi and the Nether River gushing from the rift at a terrifying speed.

Lin Yi's eyes narrowed.

Soul-Devouring Ghost King!

The previous illusions must have been this creature's handiwork!

As the Nether River Funeral neared completion, Lin Yi gained insight.

In the end, it's still the absolute power and absolute attribute suppression that can target these ghosts!
