Chapter 848 Ivan’s Face
The male ghost continued to provide information:
"This bridge was originally built by the Ruler of Hell to connect the Eastin Area with the Northin Land.
However, it was smashed a hundred years ago by a powerful entity to suppress the creature in the
Ghost Abyss..."
Ghosts would choose toe here and engage in activities to atone for their sins, and the rulers of the
Ten Hell Pces would grant them virtues as a form of redemption.
Lilly understood and asked, "So that''s how it is... But what lies within the Ghost Abyss? Why is there a
bloody pelvis?"
The male ghost adjusted himself, his eyeballs shifting, and replied, "I don''t know what lies beneath the
abyss... ording to the bone, it seems there is a pathway that leads to the underworld. It''s a tunnel...
Someone would identally stumble upon it."
In other words, those who passed through that pathway met with a fatal ident, and their souls and
bodies were drawn into the Ghost Abyss.
"When I was still alive, I often heard stories about idents where people vanished, but their bodies
couldn''t be found... They must have been dragged into the abyss like this!"
"Not just pelvises, but also femurs, ribs, and skulls..."
Various bones could be found within the abyss.
The cowardly ghost asked the crucial question, "How frequently do these bones go up and down?"
He was referring to the pelvis that had recently emerged from the abyss and then descended once
again.
However, the male ghost shook his head and replied, "I''m not sure. It depends on how frequently
people die in the bordering area between the human world and the underworld."
Lilly contemted the situation. This "elevator" was operated by the deceased, and the frequency of its
ascension depended on the urrence of deaths...

"No wonder Alban mentioned that there is only one chance to survive," the cowardly ghost sighed. "It''s
hard to determine when a person will pass away."
Only the Ruler of Hell knows who''s going to die...
The realization struck the cowardly ghost, and he turned his head abruptly, eximing, "Yes, only the
King of Hades knows!"
Lilly immediately grasped the significance and eyes were filled with excitement. "Yes, that''s right, I
know!"
The solution was right in front of them.
With Lilly riding on the backs of the cowardly ghost and the others, they hurriedly returned to the edge
of the abyss.
Lilly took out her pen and began to murmur, "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, innocent souls, and
departed souls, heed my call! Ah..."
All the ghosts watched in confusion, wondering what kind of incantation she was reciting. But sure
enough, they saw the Pen of Judgment emanate a golden light, illuminating their surroundings. Within
that golden light, countless names scrolled rapidly.
"The names passing by are those of people who have already died!" Lilly exined. "We can see when
new names appear!"
Everyone fixed their gaze on the golden light, feeling as if they were watching subtitles whizzing by.
Lilly continued to read aloud the names of all the departed souls.
It seemed that she was reading the names of idental deaths that had urred over hundreds of
years.
Finally, as the scrolling names gradually slowed down, a few new names began to emerge in the
golden light.
The names moved at a slower pace, and one name appeared at the very top of the golden light,
followed by another name.
"Nate Perkins..." Lilly read aloud. "This name has just died, could it be the pelvis we saw earlier?"
The cowardly ghost questioned, "Do you think so?"
Lilly hesitated for a moment and then instinctively responded, "Yes, I believe so..."
The harem spirit nodded in agreement. "That seems likely. If you look below, you can see four new
names that have surfaced one after another."
The first name was Kaiden, and as the name scrolled forward, a human head floated up from the
abyss.
Startled, Polly squawked, "Hey! Kaiden! It''s me! Look over here!"
The head jerked towards them, his eyes locking onto Polly.
With a distorted and piercing voice, he responded, "Who''s… calling… me…"
All the ghosts were taken aback, but it was confirmed that the name floating in the golden light
belonged to the person who had been pulled into the abyss and died identally.
After the brief interaction, the head quickly descended once again.
The cowardly ghost fixed his gaze on the remaining names. "We have three more chances. Based on
my calctions, after Kaiden goes down, Cory Carr shoulde up in about half an hour."
Beyond the golden lighty the time when these souls would vanish or sink.
"So these people havee to the underworld to fulfill their destiny..." Lilly marveled, "Their names are
recorded in the Book of Life, but they haven''t reported to the Pce of Hades..."
at least not in a conventional way.
It was truly peculiar.
Everyone kept their eyes on the timeline. True to the prediction, after half an hour, a leg emerged from
the abyss. It appeared to be a man''s leg, likely belonging to Cory.
The cowardly ghost''s calctions were urate!
"Darling, let''s go!"
Seizing the opportune moment, the cowardly ghost and Lilly leaped onto Cory''s leg.
"I''ve estimated the timing and speed correctly. After this leg sinks, another dead person shoulde
up and pass us by in about five minutes."
"That means we will sink for five minutes and search for Ivan. If we can''t find him, we must transfer to
the next dead person who emerges immediately. Do you get it?"
There was no imminent danger in the abyss, but what ascended were only dismembered limbs, as if
something lurking beneath was devouring them.
Lilly knew the importance of understanding the situation and the need to observe the surroundings,
search for clues, reassess the situation, and then proceed ordingly.
Lilly nodded, "Got it!"
However, at that very moment, an unexpected urrence emerged from the depths of the abyss. This
entity possessed a profound impact on departed souls, causing Aunt Ugly to be sucked in.
"Ah! Help, save me!" Aunt Ugly pleaded desperately.
The ghosts also sensed that their souls were on the verge of being torn apart. Suddenly, a distorted
face appeared within the mist of the abyss, bearing a resemnce to a human, and it aggressively
attacked them.
This face belonged to...
"Ivan?!" Lilly eximed in astonishment.
