Chapter 229 Hunting Time
The light from the storage room illuminated the boy's face.

Ji Ran was deeply shaken at this moment!

I... interfered with the dream?!
Do not!
This is not just a dream! This is the ship's dream, a tragedy that actually happened just hours ago!
But just now, I used the surging anger within the boy to channel my spiritual energy into him... and slayed that vengeful ghost!
Dreams and reality.

Past and future.

The boy's emotions blurred the lines, creating a scene he couldn't comprehend. The cicada's sound only provided a 1-point deduction for cause and effect, nothing more.

Causal point.

This is an attribute that I cannot obtain even if I complete all the journeys of the heavens with 100% completion. I cannot find any related questions on the entire Traveler Forum.

Ji Ran understood that this meant that the causal points were points that were completely outside the scope of normal practitioners, and were even more mysterious and rare than things like boundary moats and incense money.

This is the only product of the Turbid Immortal Rank.

Ji Ran thought of the Southern Han Dynasty where he was ordained, of Jiang Rao, of the golden bow and thunder arrow, and of the divine phantom that connected heaven and earth—that second-order world was not as simple as it seemed.

"Thank you."

The boy looked at Ji Ran, and even without receiving a reply, he still thanked her.

"elder sister!"

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and helped the woman up.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

The woman groaned in pain as the boy helped her lean against the wall.

A bloody hole was torn open in the middle of the woman's lower abdomen. Her left shoulder and back were also cut open by the sharp claws of the vengeful ghost, revealing tender red muscle layers that oozed thick blood.

There were large bruises on her waist and sides from the ghost's touch.

The boy thought for a moment, then pointed to the storage room and said, "Sister, you should hide here first!"

"it is good."

The female receptionist gritted her teeth and, with the boy's help, entered the storage room.

The boy took a quilt from the cupboard and spread it on the floor.

The woman sat down, her face pale, blood mixed with sweat. In the eerily quiet room, she dared not make a sound.

click!
With a soft sound, the boy closed the porthole leading outside.

"Sister, wait for me."

"you……"

Before the woman could finish speaking, the boy rushed out.

Ji Ran followed behind him.

The boy ran straight across the corridor and rushed to the pool of blood in the hall.

The crystal chandelier, dripping with blood, refracted red light, reflecting in the bright hall.

The headless body of the security guard fell straight to the ground, and blood trickled down to the spilled first-aid kit.

Dada-da.

The boy slowed his pace slightly in front of the corpse. He silently looked at the man's body, his expression showing not fear, but only guilt.

A moment later, he rushed to the first aid kit, grabbed it, and returned to the storage room!

"elder sister!"

"I'll bandage you up."

The boy entered the room, opened the first-aid kit, and took out hemostatic drugs and bandages. The woman sat on the floor, her head tilted back, the back of her head against the wall, trying to support her bloodied back.

With the boy's help, the woman took off her blood-soaked white shirt, applied ointment, and wrapped it with bandages.

"Sister, stay here and wait for me to find someone to rescue you!"

Snapped!
As the boy stood up, the woman grabbed his arm and said, "What... are you going to do!?"

"Stay here! There are monsters outside!"

"Danger!"

The boy grasped the girl's cold hand, shook his head firmly, and said, "My parents are still outside."

"But...if you go there, you'll—"

The woman was about to say that the boy couldn't do anything in his condition when she thought of the half-dead ghost's corpse and suddenly realized that the boy might possess a power she couldn't comprehend.

now.

The boy pushed the woman's hand away and said, "Sister, you stay put."

With that, the boy walked out of the room and carefully closed the door.

He strode off and ran into the bustling night of the cruise ship. Ji Ran followed behind him. As they passed the half-destroyed corpse of the vengeful ghost, Ji Ran saw a faint mist evaporating from the body, like grayish-white fragments rising in the air.

"I rely on!"

A passenger cautiously peeked out from the door next to them, and his eyes widened instantly!
He stared intently at the vengeful ghost on the ground for a long while before shakily closing the door.

Click click click.

Ji Ran heard the sound of door locks clicking.

is it him?
The intelligence report mentioned someone who witnessed a vengeful ghost.

Ji Ran watched the boy's retreating figure and chased after him. At the same time, he sent all the details about the faceless ghost, as well as his guess that it was a tourist in disguise, to Zha Hu.

My observations are detailed enough. I hope to find information about this vengeful ghost as soon as possible.

The boy had already passed through the arcade and arrived at the restaurant.

The crystal chandelier cast a champagne-colored glow, and a few passengers were dining.

A waiter wearing a white uniform and black trousers is cleaning the table where the boy and his parents had previously dined.

The boy looked around in a panic and then left!
They must have gone to the climbing area!
The boy was about to run away when he glanced at the other passengers. In the empty hall, a dozen or so people were still eating, drinking tea, and chatting.

The two children were also gathered around the night shift chef, making interesting molecular gastronomy dishes.

"Everyone, run!"

The boy suddenly spoke up, saying, "Outside...there are monsters outside!"

"There's a man-eating monster!"

"Pfft!"

The waiter who was clearing the table next to him was stunned when he heard the boy's first sentence, but burst out laughing when he heard his second sentence.

Passengers nearby heard the noise and looked over. They saw it was a cute and handsome little boy and just smiled.

"Little one, don't make noise."

A waitress with a high ponytail walked up with a smile, took a wet wipe from the garbage cart next to her, wiped her hands, and held it out to the boy, saying, "Have you gotten separated from your parents?"

"Your sister will take you to find it."

"no!"

The boy shook his head frantically, saying, "There's a monster!"

He unbuttoned his baseball uniform, revealing a gruesome wound on his left chest!

"what!"

The waitress's eyes widened, and she immediately squatted down, saying, "Are you injured?"

At the same time, she pulled up her headset and said, "There's a child injured at Restaurant 3 in Zone F. Bring the first aid kit and medical staff over immediately."

"no no!"

The boy waved his hands frantically, shouting, "It's a monster! A monster is hurting people!"

"Okay, okay, I understand!"

The waitress looked anxious, but spoke gently, "Please sit here for a moment. The doctor will be here to bandage you soon."

"no!"

The boy's eyes were red, and he was almost in tears!

He grabbed the velvet chair, stood on it, and shouted, "Everyone, run! Run!"

"There really is a monster!"

The crystal chandelier cast a bright light, and the boy's voice was like an inaudible silent play.

Apart from the waiter who gently comforted him, no one paid any attention to the strange remarks of a ten-year-old boy.

Perhaps he had just watched an Ultraman episode.

But Ji Ran, standing in front of the restaurant, saw faceless ghosts collectively tumbling down from the residential area behind him.

Countless figures were erected vertically on the wall, their muscular, smooth, pale skin revealed beneath their tattered clothes.

Faces without features looked up at the brightly lit, luxurious restaurant with its double-glazed roof.

Tick.

The restaurant's vintage grandfather clock struck 3:17 a.m.

The hunt for the vengeful ghost has begun.
