Ye Bai contracts a Shadow Wraith, a royal shadow illusion beast with a complete evolutionary path. He then witnesses a mysterious summoning ceremony in Thundercloud City, where a boy attempting to gain ghost hands is consumed by them and sacrifices himself to the mysterious. The Demon Bear Priest explains that this world may have a surface and an inner world, with humans summoning beings from the inner world.
"Discuss it later, once you hold the reins of authority." "However, concerning the present predicament, the host has already fallen under the eerie's manipulation." "He will develop an insatiable thirst for blood, eventually transforming into one of them!" Little Hastar chimed in from the side. "What exactly is this eerie transformation? Hastar, could you enlighten me further?" Ye Bai inquired, his curiosity boundless. "You must understand that in this realm, individuals forge contracts with eerie beings, thereby becoming their citizens." "This world bears striking resemblances to our own, yet the contractual stipulations are not as stringent as those on Blue Star." "Through this pact, the eerie bestows its power upon humans. As humans wield this power, their minds gradually become susceptible to its influence, propelling them towards an eerie transformation." "Ultimately, these humans will fully metamorphose into eerie beings, becoming mere walking husks." "Conversely, within the inner world, eerie entities can manifest themselves from the human host via the contract." "In truth, this world is governed by a certain threshold. Once this limit is breached, the eerie completely usurps the human vessel." "This explains the host's increasingly malevolent demeanor, as he too has been corrupted and is evolving towards an eerie metamorphosis." Ye Bai observed the host's eyes shift from a vibrant spark to a vacant gaze, while the twin scythes held in his hands, resembling massive pincers, began to clatter ominously. "Exercise caution, the host is now under the complete dominion of the eerie. His immediate objective is slaughter; the more he slaughters, the faster he shall ascend." Ye Bai's warning, however, failed to garner any applause from those nearby, as Jack the Ripper had now fully parasitized the host. "Very well, everyone, remain calm and form orderly lines. We shall proceed with the pacts involving the eerie." Jack the Ripper's voice was as composed as possible, his mission requiring him to secure sufficient sacrifices. "Demon Bear Priest, invoke the Golden Bell Shield upon the children from before, ensuring that Jack the Ripper's wrath does not descend upon them." The Demon Bear Priest reluctantly stirred from the ground, brandishing its scepter and bestowing the protective blessing of the Golden Bell Shield upon the child. "We must act swiftly; my true identity must remain concealed." "Jack the Ripper, what troubles you? Your expression appears rather grim." An individual familiar with Jack the Ripper jested from the periphery. Yet, Jack the Ripper abruptly impaled that person with his blade, and as the weapon pierced the other's form, he felt a sudden wave of ennui. "As I've stated, the disparity in power between us is immense; ordinary eerie beings pose no threat." "However, my boredom shall not persist indefinitely, for I have a crucial task to attend to." "And that is to offer your heads and consume your blood." "Only by doing so can I attain a fragment of the Eerie King's decrees." Jack the Ripper swung his colossal scythe with ferocious intent towards the assembled participants of the assessment. "Aaaah!!" The crowd shrieked and scrambled backward, their thresholds instantly reaching their maximum capacity. "No, I refuse to participate in this assessment! I wish to live, to survive! I am not taking this assessment!" The masses murmured in protest. "Your hesitation is futile; I have already thoroughly devoured a significant number of souls." "My power is destined to skyrocket." Jack the Ripper suddenly swept his dual blades, intent on unleashing a massacre upon the assembled throng. But midway through his attack, he found himself unable to sustain his body's posture. It transpired that the Demon Bear Priest had manipulated the Shadow Eerie to ensnare Jack the Ripper's movements. Jack the Ripper struggled vehemently but remained inextricably bound by the shadow's constraints. He could only watch helplessly as he plunged into the abyss below. As his extremities made contact with the corrosive substance, a piercing wail of agony erupted from him. "My legs! My legs!" Upon touching the acid, Jack the Ripper's legs began to dissolve. "Please grant me a swift end; I truly cannot endure this any longer!" The excruciating pain permeated his entire being, immersing Jack the Ripper in the caustic fluid. Even the immense scythes in his grasp emitted smoke upon contact with the acid. This was ample testimony to the terrifying efficacy of the Shadow Eerie's capabilities. Following Jack the Ripper's dissolution within the acid, the Shadow Eerie proceeded to absorb his soul. The Shadow Eerie's power surged instantaneously. "What shall we do? Jack the Ripper has been slain. What about the remaining children?" "Do we still need to conduct the awakening ceremony?" The onlookers gazed with uncertain eyes at the crimson gem suspended in mid-air. "Certainly. The divine is omnipresent. As long as our sincerity is true, there shall be no significant impediments." At this precise moment, an individual arrived at the site designated for the awakening. This person exuded an aura of profound sorrow, and upon making contact with the Awakening Stone, a deluge of pertinent knowledge flooded their mind.

Eerie Citizen: Humans after contracting with the eerie are called Eerie Citizens.

"You must be cautious during these times; a colossal entity has been seen roaming our vicinity."

"Should this place be discovered by it, we are finished."

"The destructive capability of this giant is truly remarkable, possibly twenty times that of yours."

"There's a clarification I must make: that giant is an eerie, not a member of a special species."

While the others engaged in discussion, Ye Bai maintained a composed and unconcerned demeanor.
