Suddenly, Wynter smiled at him.
“Do you think I chose to randomly recite a news article to you just now?”
At her words, the delivery man froze. He seemed to realize something and tried to step back frantically.
Wynter didn’t give him the chance to retreat. “Even though you’re just an earthbound spirit like the
others, the formation master in the Earthbound Formation is an existence that every earthbound spirit
dares not mention because the consequences will be unimaginable if you anger the formation master.
“But you act so brazenly, which means that you’re not afraid of the formation master. Because you
know that she won’t show up as long as you’re around.”
Wynter continued, “You killed someone but received no punishment. Instead, the dead girl was
gossiped about for a long time. Even now, you’re still trying to gain sympathy by flaunting your identity.”
She warned, “The Earthbound Formation can trap not only many dead spirits but also living beings,
and even some animals who died unjustly. People with strong attachments who enter are also unable
to
break free.”
but “You repeat this delivery action every time and insist on entering the door. It’s not your attachment,
the formation master’s. She’s reminding every entrant to beware of you. I guess that over the years,
many entrants and many human souls have been trapped in the formation by you,” she remarked.
“In the end, the formation master’s resentment grew, and some unstable souls were easily lost and
distracted here. The formation master doesn’t want to harm others. You entered the formation in the
form of a human soul, repeatedly provoking her until today. The resentment inside the formation is
overwhelming, and the entire hotel is like a ghostly hall. The more trapped spirits there are, the harder
it is for the formation master to break free.”
“The formation master is the young lady you deliver food to every time,” she revealed.
Wynter flicked the delivery address slip aside with her finger. The real address is in Building 2701 in the
adjacent neighborhood.
Then, she said, “It’s easy for me to see the formation master. I’ll just have to kill you, then she won’t
hesitate to reveal herself.”
The delivery man shook his head as he knelt and begged for mercy. “You can’t kill me. If you kill me,
the formation will never be broken. There are other ways if you want to leave. I can help you get out.”
“Other ways?” Wynter smiled mockingly. “I came here to find someone, and your ‘other ways” are not
practical. I have the simplest solution. Besides Arcane Way, there’s another direct and fast way to
break the formation–let the formation master take revenge!”
Wynter smiled and threw the copper coins, breaking the medium with a casual flick. There was no fear
on
her face.
The delivery man’s expression changed.

He had been so audacious because the formation master of the Earthbound Formation could only
repeat her past actions and couldn’t change the outcome. She wouldn’t appear before the culprit.
But now… the delivery man looked up at the celling, which seemed to be changing.
“What do you want to know? I’ll tell you everything. Just don’t let her appear,” the delivery man said
anxiously.
Wynter turned away, ignoring him.
The delivery man panicked. “You’re here for Mrs. Quinnell’s soul, right? Don’t you want to know who
did it? I have the information; I can—”
“I don’t need it.” Wynter said to the void, “I’m summoning you now. You won’t have any sins. Take you
time to exact your revenge.”
With a snap, the room seemed to respond.
Water droplets dripped from the ceiling.
The television in the room turned on automatically, showing the scene of him delivering food that day.
With a swish, all the lights in the room went out!
The delivery man’s plea for help stopped abruptly.
