Chapter 333 Heavenly Master 40
But there are differences as well. For instance, if harmed by humans or if it develops a strong obsession, a spirit can turn into a harmful nightmare. Unlike spirits, nightmares possess powerful attack strength!
The house nightmare that Situ Shuangshuang encountered now must have evolved from the house spirit of that opera house!
When Situ Shuangshuang entered, she noticed that the barrier set by the house nightmare can block the exploration of the Yin Yang Two Realms from the outside, and inside it can trap the souls, preventing them from leaving. Observing the continuous opera performances at this place, Situ Shuangshuang speculated that this house nightmare might have been a house spirit born from the people’s affection toward the opera house performances!
However, as times progress and various entertainment activities emerge, traditional operas that were once beloved have gradually declined. People are attracted by diverse entertainment facilities, and operas, which require patience to watch, are now less favored by the young.
This house nightmare has imprisoned so many souls here. It isn’t harming them but is merely making them repeat the process of watching and performing operas in cycles. By hiding in the Yin Realm and setting up a barrier, it clearly fears these opera-loving ghost souls leaving this place.
Thus, Situ Shuangshuang speculates that this house spirit turned nightmare is driven by obsession. Its obsession is likely a desire to return to the opera house’s golden days, hence it has imprisoned so many ghost souls, preventing them from leaving, and instead making them endlessly repeat the cycle of singing and watching operas.
Ghost souls are meant to reincarnate. Entering the Underworld, they cannot reincarnate until their time comes, whether they wish or not. Once it is their turn, they must reincarnate, unable to linger in the Yin Realm.
This house nightmare, by imprisoning these ghost souls here, is violating the rules of the Yin Realm. If discovered, it cannot escape punishment and might be shattered, its spiritual sense dispersed, equivalent to a ghost’s soul being destroyed.
Noticing that Situ Shuangshuang’s Nine-character Mantra intends to break its barrier, the house nightmare immediately became furious!
Situ Shuangshuang felt the ground beneath her feet shake violently, and then cobblestones began to float into the air, gathering into a massive stone mass that viciously smashed down towards Situ Shuangshuang!
