"Have you heard? It seems sothing happened over in the southern district."
"Sothing happened? What could possibly happen?"
"A Heart-eating Ghost actually completed Spiritual Devouring."
"That... sure is a bit rare, but a dead ghost isn't really a big deal."
"But this Heart-eating Ghost devoured hundreds of other ghosts."
Shura listened to the conversation between the two ghosts, a gleam flashing in his eyes. He felt that this matter was inevitably related to Gu Shanhai.
In order to gather intelligence, he naturally disguised himself as a ghost. Unlike Gu Shanhai who could transform at will, he didn't have many ghost races to choose from.
At this mont, he was disguised as a Corpse Birth Magic, which is an upper-level ghost akin to a Zombie.
After all, Zombies are all transford from humans, even if multiple ghosts later combine, it has to involve humans. So Corpse Birth Magic is very similar to humans. As long as he changes the skin tone and modifies the body a bit, it's done.
Actually, in the Ghost World, Corpse Birth Magic is not a very popular ghost race, as they look too much like humans, making everyone feel uneasy.
Because the ghosts haven't fully developed, and with the interference of the All Ghosts Survival Platform, no special forces like the Human Worship Sect have erged.
It's quite simple if you think about it. Normally, why would a ghost worship soone who wants to eat them?
In Shura's eyes, the entire Ghost World is no different from a stagnant pool of water. Although there are daily fights between ghosts, these fights are not for the sake of benefits or developnt, but more due to bizarre reasons.
For instance, glancing too much at soone while walking down the road, or accidentally bumping into soone can lead to fights between ghosts.
These fights are small-scale, rarely involving more than ten ghosts.
It's chaotic indeed, but also stable in its own way.
Overall, it feels distorted to him.
Otherwise, why would he imdiately think of Gu Shanhai when he heard a Heart-eating Ghost controlled hundreds of ghosts?
He's actually been very curious about how ghosts are born. He has been investigating this matter these days, but hasn't found any clues.
It feels as if ghosts just spring out of rocks, no, even worse, as if they are simply refreshed into existence.
Otherwise, given such a depletion rate, it's impossible for ghosts to still exist.
Just from the All Ghosts Survival Platform alone, tens of thousands of ghosts die every day, which Shura also discovered from inquiries.
At its peak, there could be a million live broadcasts happening simultaneously.
Of course, it gradually declined later on. Until the updates stopped, the number of survival broadcasts had dropped to a hundred thousand.
Out of a hundred thousand broadcasts, less than one percent of the Ghost Survivors manage to return alive, aning only one thousand or fewer ghosts clear the level.
With such a terrifying death rate, it's unbelievable that ghosts can maintain such a large number of phantom mouths.
If it were humans, they would have gone extinct long ago.
Apart from almost ten thousand ghosts dying every day in the All Ghosts Survival Platform, many ghosts also die from fights in the Ghost World.
Over ti, not going extinct is quite questionable.
This has led Shura to suspect that the phantom mouths in the Ghost World are actually refreshed.
'Should I get in touch with ***?' Shura thought about this, as discovering the problem with phantom mouths might be very useful for Gu Shanhai.
In fact, he was more curious about how far the southern district was from his location.
Ghosts are very fluid, as they don't need food, clothing, or shelter, and are not restricted to any area. Due to underdevelopnt and lack of concepts, ghosts tend to roam around.
Unlike humans, who may struggle to leave their holand.
After so contemplation, he decided to contact Gu Shanhai and tell him about the situation.
After finding a place without any ghosts and setting up so simple isolation asures, he contacted Gu Shanhai through the intelligent terminal.
"What's the matter?" Gu Shanhai's voice imdiately ca through the intelligent terminal.
"There's sothing. Have you noticed anything about the number of phantom mouths? It's probably..." Shura shared the intelligence he had gathered with Gu Shanhai.
Gu Shanhai listened carefully. After Shura finished speaking, he said, "I really hadn't noticed this. You're much better than with these details."
"Oh, by the way, don't co to the southern district lately. I've raised a ghost army and plan to unify the Ghost World. It wouldn't be good if I accidentally hurt you."
Hearing this, Shura didn't feel much surprise. It only confird his guess, which was expected.
Whenever he encounters such strange happenings, Gu Shanhai is the first person he thinks of.
"I already knew this from the ghosts drifting over. By the way, how far is the southern district from the northern district where I am?" Shura asked curiously.
He didn't know the distance. There's no unit of distance in the Ghost World, not even a concept of ti. With no day or night distinction, no hours, minutes, or seconds, it's impossible to gauge distance.
Shura's perception is also limited, making it impossible to determine the distance between them.
"We are about three thousand kiloters apart. Why don't you check the intelligent terminal? It shows our locations." Gu Shanhai replied.
