My Master Disconnected Yet Again (Part 3)

Chapter 374: River of Forgetfulness in the Wrong Position !

Yi Qing scanned the group of ghosts. This was shocking! Did these ghosts all suffer from amnesia at the same time, or did the culprit act so fast that they did not even have time to react before they found themselves dead?

He asked them more questions to understand the situation better, and found that not only did they forget how they died, they even forgot everything that had happened to them while they were alive. They did not even remember each other's names! That was why they referred to each other as "Headless Ghost" or "Opened Ghost".

Yi Qing frowned even more deeply. From the number of ghosts there were in front of him, it was obvious that someone had wiped out the entire city. The strange thing was that he had not sensed an array being set up around the city. They also did not meet with any obstacle along the way. Why were the ghosts trapped here then?

He raised his head and saw the city gate, which was just metres away from him. "There's nothing here holding you back. Why can't you go out?"

"That's because..." Thinking that Yi Qing did not believe him, the Headless Ghost began to panic. Yet, he did not know how to explain himself. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Exalted Immortal, just take one look at it and you'll understand."

The ghosts all nodded. Then, an entire group of them, as if on a night walk, rushed toward the city gate. They were just about to float past the gate when their figures flashed. Half of the group vanished.

The next moment, the half that disappeared reappeared in the middle of the main street. Not one of them was missing.

"Exalted Immortal, this happens," all of the ghosts said at the same time, their expressions pained.

"It's not that we don't want to go, but no matter how we try, we keep ending up back here."

"That's right, we can't even go out."

"Exalted Immortal, we want to reincarnate as well."

"Exalted Immortal is very powerful – please save us!"

Yi Qing started. This is... a transportation array?

That's not right – he did not sense any spiritual power at the city gate neither did he sense the presence of any arrays.

"Master..." He turned to address Shen Ying, who was standing beside him.

Shen Ying took a bite off her fruit and answered, "Is it a certain sealed space?"

A sealed space?

Yi Qing paused, as if thinking of something. "Master, you mean to say that this place is just like a mystic realm? It's separated from the rest of the world?"

"I think so."

It was no wonder that the ghosts were unable to escape. To them, this city had been completely isolated from the rest of the world. It now formed its own world, and the boundaries of the city were the boundaries of this world. Unless they had the power to break through realms, they would be transported back here every time they tried to escape. According to them, moreover, it seemed that the boundaries were only effective as toward ghosts. It did not have the same effect on everyone else.

Wait a moment!

Yi Qing had a sudden realisation. He turned around and looked a bit further away, at a ghost which as hugging the pillar and trembling. He pursed his lips, and he began to radiate a chilly aura once again.

"You! Go out and try!" He pointed to the city gate not far away.

"Ah... Huh?" Song Ren, who was suddenly called upon, turned to look at the malicious ghosts, each one looking scarier than the other. Each of them looked back at him. Song Ren's body trembled uncontrollably. "Wh-What?"
