Anna, who had just ascended to Sequence Nine as a Wandering Soul, opened her eyes, and the world presented a brand-new appearance before her.

Colors faded, replaced by the spectrum of emotions and the pulsating of souls, walls appeared like thin gauze, sounds transformed into visible ripples undulating through the air.

Emotions that ordinary people couldn't see were materialized in Anna's vision, and she could even feel she might be able to manipulate these emotions to some extent.

Anna's gaze penetrated the walls, attempting to look into the distance, but this glance caused her soul to freeze.

Outside the room on the street, gray mist drifted everywhere; when people gathered, it was thin but became more dense as they moved away.

Corners and shadows were shrouded in a large amount of mist, and within the drifting shadows, unknown entities seemed to squirm and twist, emitting a terrifying horror.

Anna immediately withdrew her gaze from the outside world and looked back into the room, where Choya had just finished treating the wound Anna had cut open.

The dinner knife was already covered in rust; if not treated early, it could easily become infected, though Choya was a useless fool, he knew this basic knowledge.

After treating the wound, Choya bent down and dragged Anna's corpse.

He accidentally touched the wound in the process, causing sweat to seep from his forehead, and he couldn't help but start cursing.

His fear and panic were surrounded by a crimson mist in Anna's eyes, completely unaware of the wandering Anna beside him.

"Damn country bumpkin," Choya muttered through clenched teeth, applying more force, "Coming to me sick to cause trouble? Who do they think they are!"

He dragged Anna's corpse toward the back door of the clinic, a look of relief on his face.

If Anna hadn't been gravely ill, he might not have noticed and could have been stabbed in a vital spot, thinking of this, Choya grinned sinisterly:

"Once I'm done with you, I will find your damn family and squeeze out every last shilling, then throw them into the factory furnace.

For a bumpkin like you, no one cares how many perish."

These words sparked a fire deep within Anna's soul.

A surge of unprecedented power welled up inside her, instinct drove her to float forward.

Anna extended her translucent hands, reaching into Choya's chest.

At this moment, she was surprised to find she could touch something deeper than flesh, it was Choya's soul.

Compared to Sequence Nine's already formed Wandering Soul, Choya's soul was so fragile, it flickered weakly in Anna's hands.

Anna clenched tightly onto this flickering, firmly grasped Choya's soul.

Choya suddenly stopped his actions, an inexplicable chill spread from the depths of his heart.

His breath became rapid, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably; this feeling was unlike any disease or ordinary fear, as if someone directly held onto the source of his life.

"What... is... happening..." Choya's eyes widened, fear overwhelmed him like a tide.

The chill gradually turned into a piercing cold, Choya felt his consciousness being gradually frozen.

In the blur of his vision, he seemed to see a face both familiar and unfamiliar, Anna was looking down at him, and now, that face once pale and delicate bore a ferocious smile.

"No... impossible..." Choya struggled, trying to shake off the hallucination, but in vain.

Anna felt a twisted pleasure from Choya's fear and despair.

She began to exude a crimson aura, her face becoming increasingly twisted like a demon in a midnight nightmare.

She felt Choya's life slipping away in her hands, and she only needed to apply a little more force to crush this despicable man's soul completely.

At this moment, a calm and authoritative voice rang through the space.

"Sequence Nine as a Wandering Soul is only the beginning, one must traverse death to enter the Underworld Sequence."

Lu Yan somehow stood behind Anna without her noticing, quietly observing the scene, making no move, only stating certain facts.

"After ascending to Sequence Nine, you will gain Extraordinary Abilities like Night Travel and entering dreams, and you could even directly harm another's soul."

"But every Extraordinary Path is accompanied by taboos and loss of control; the Underworld Sequence, which involves soul manipulation at Sequence Nine, is all the more so.

If one recklessly kills during the Wandering Soul stage, it will accumulate massive resentment, causing the Extraordinary Path to lose control."

Lu Yan continued, his voice like a scholar explaining natural laws.

"Ordinary extraordinary paths, upon losing control, will degenerate, but the Underworld Sequence originates from the Underworld Divine Court, anchored by the great Divine Court that transcends this world's mysteries.

Even if Extraordinary abilities lose control, they won't fall victim to the mysteries of this world.

A Wandering Soul filled with massive resentment will, upon ascending to Sequence Eight, tread another path of losing control, with Sequence Eight named as a Fierce Ghost."

Immersed in revenge, Anna was startled by Lu Yan's statements.

The crimson in her eyes began to dissipate, her deadly grip on Choya's soul started to loosen.

Choya collapsed heavily onto the ground, his trembling body erupted in violent coughs, unable even to comprehend what he had just experienced.

Lu Yan watched Anna's movements, a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

The Underworld Sequence is an Extraordinary Path that walks the line between life and death, Lu Yan had already informed Anna when choosing her, she would have to choose her future path by herself.
