The World Has Entered an Era of Terror At This Moment

Chapter 7: Golden Wall! Ghosts Everywhere!

“Such an old bus!”

On the bus, Lin Feng sat silently, gazing out the window.

The ghost beside him was completely ignored. It was indeed a harmless ghost. There were a total of three ghosts on the bus.

The seats next to the other two ghosts were empty, as no students were willing to sit next to them.

“He really is different,” some students thought as they observed Lin Feng.

Some were already considering forming good relations with him, given his potential to become a formidable Ghost Controller in the future.

The bus wobbled its way toward the outer city.

This was Lin Feng’s first trip to the outer city. It was also the first time for all the students on the bus.

Previously, they had all spent their time at school.

After traveling for over an hour, a tall wall came into view, followed by the city gate. The bus drove past it.

After passing through, Lin Feng noticed other buses similar to theirs approaching from different directions.

These buses were also filled with 15-year-old students; students from other schools who had awakened their ghosts.

Near the city gate, there were quite a few guards. Among them, Lin Feng spotted some people in cloaks who resembled Ghost Controllers.

When they reached the gate, the bus stopped, and the cloaked man on the bus handed over a yellowed piece of paper.

“Open the gate.”

The gate slowly opened, and the bus drove through.

The wall was thick, and it was dark inside.

The students on the bus curiously looked around, eager to see what the outer city looked like.

After a few seconds, the bus finally exited the tunnel in the wall.

The sky ahead instantly became gloomy, as if shrouded in dark clouds, with no sunlight in sight.

“Wow, look!” at that moment, a student shouted.

Lin Feng looked over to see the student pointing behind the bus. Following the direction of the pointing finger, Lin Feng was a bit startled.

Because…

The wall on the outer side of the city was actually golden!

A ten-meter-high wall, stretching an unknown length, was entirely golden and appeared exceptionally majestic.

Even though the outer city lacked sunlight, the golden walls were still very striking!

“The Golden Wall! I know this. It’s the legendary Golden Wall! It has a one-millimeter-thick layer of gold to prevent ghosts from passing through the walls!” a student exclaimed.

“Gold…” Lin Feng murmured.

The reason the wall appeared golden was due to the layer of gold on its surface.

Gold could block the penetration of ghosts and was a crucial measure used by the base city to ensure that no malevolent spirits could infiltrate the inner city.

The students were all amazed as they looked at the wall. At this moment, the bus stopped. The ghost beside Lin Feng moved, stepping through him and heading toward the back door of the bus.

The driver opened the door, and the ghost walked off the bus. But at the front door, several more figures, clearly ghosts, boarded.

The students were both fascinated and fearful at the sight of these ghosts.

“Don’t worry. These ghosts have fixed routines and are one of the primary sources of ghosts. As long as they haven’t lost control, you are not allowed to attack them, understood?” said the cloaked man.

The students all nodded.

One student quickly made room for a ghost that seemed to be trying to sit in his seat.

“So many ghosts,” another student remarked.

Lin Feng had already noticed.

After exiting the city wall, they were in a large square where many ghosts were wandering around.

Besides the ghosts, some humans were also present, mostly middle-aged and not Ghost Controllers, but ordinary people.

“The era of coexisting with ghosts,” Lin Feng murmured.

The bus soon left the square and entered an old street. On the street, more ghosts could be seen, and even inside the houses on both sides of the street, ghosts were present. These ghosts made the street feel eerie.

There were also quite a few people on the street. Occasionally, one could see a Ghost Controller, but most were ordinary people, mostly over the age of 40.

“Over 40, with declining fertility, and if the offspring born aren’t Ghost Controllers, to support the family, they must work in the outer city?” Lin Feng pondered.

The bus drove along the long street and finally reached its destination. A large cluster of buildings stood ahead.

The bus stopped on the street in front of the buildings.

“Get off,” the cloaked man said.

The dozens of students got off the bus one after another. Behind them, other buses were also arriving. A large number of students were getting off the buses.

Soon, all 300-plus students who had successfully awakened their ghosts were gathered.

[Task complete. Ghost Tongtong gains 20 experience points and 1 potential point.]

The system’s voice rang out.

The task was completed!

“Which school are you from?”

“Third High, what about you?”

“…..”

After gathering, the 300-plus students started chatting.

“Quiet!” at that moment, a raspy voice rang out.

Lin Feng saw that it was the red paper man again. It had appeared once more.

All the students immediately fell silent. The red paper man’s gaze swept over the 300-plus students, pausing slightly on Lin Feng before moving on.

Then, the red paper man said, “From this moment on, you are officially Ghost Controllers. Of course, for the next three months, we will still provide you with some guidance. Now, each of you come and receive your identity and communication tokens, then go to those buildings to find a place to stay. Note that every house has an evil spirit imprisoned inside. Whoever can deal with it will own that house. The larger the house, the stronger the spirit inside.

“You can choose to team up with others or take on a house alone if you want to own it yourself. This is your first test. Oh, by the way, there are also villas over there. If you want to live in a villa, you can try. You only have one day. If you fail to choose a house within a day, you’ll have to earn money to find a place to live on your own! That’s it, have fun!”
