Terror is resurging, but only I am.

Chapter 20 Grandma, have you ever been kicked at the speed of light? (Two-part series)

In the pitch-black ward, lights were lit in seven different locations, casting shadows on the male corpse from various angles, imprinting his figure on the wall and creating seven identical shadows.

Nurse Ghost.

The male corpse opened its ghostly eye on its forehead. It looked different from before, with an indelible blood-red tinge. Its eyes were unusually lively, and their rotation speed was as if it had been sped up.

Feel……

They seem to have become more active.

Yan Ming found it hard to describe the feeling, but after the survivor's corpse controlled more nurse ghosts, the ghost eyes under his control became more sensitive.

If the original Ghost Eye was in a semi-dormant state, then the Ghost Eye is now undoubtedly fully activated and has entered performance mode.

After suppressing the other ghosts within the corpse, the ghost eye became even more active?
Yan Ming felt a little surprised.

However, the Spying Ghost is rather special. Under the influence of "peeping on all evil spirits," it seems to prefer the concept of "majority."

The power of the Demon Eye clones does not decrease as the number increases. For example, when watching surveillance footage, one Demon Eye is equivalent to splitting into 64 parts and there is still no problem.

The corpse controlled by Ghost Eye now has a total of 7 ghosts under its command, and Yan Ming can feel that it has become noticeably excited.

Is it because it's nighttime and this place is a hospital, and the ghost just happens to be a nurse?
Yan Ming temporarily ignored all of that and tried to control the seven nurse ghosts, briefly developing their bodies.

As image ghosts trapped by shadows, they cannot directly affect objects in reality.

However, after the experiment, Yan Ming discovered that they could touch the shadows of other things, thereby affecting the shadows themselves.

For example, if you punch someone else's shadow, their real body will also be affected accordingly.

Moreover, the nurse ghost's physical attributes in this state are equivalent to the survivor "Ghost Eye," and Yan Ming has experienced its power.

It's unclear whether the survivors have special methods to enhance their bodies, but at least Ghost Eye's strength far exceeds that of a normal adult male. With a relatively slender body, he can deliver a heavyweight boxing punch without much charging.

When applied to the Nurse Ghost, it becomes seven delicate black women possessing the terrifying strength of Tyson.

Yan Ming wasn't sure if it would work against ghosts, but beating people was terrifying, a veritable "seven fairies ganging up on bullies".

During this process, Yan Ming also established his leadership over the seven nurse ghosts. Now that Ghost Eyes has the power to suppress them, there is basically no need to worry about them having any other ulterior motives.

Disobedient nurse ghosts can be rendered incredibly dim by direct light, causing them immense suffering; prolonged exposure will even lead to their demise.

As subordinates of a ghost, Yan Ming could only say that they were very competent.

Having weaknesses makes things easier.

He also designated the first nurse ghost, who quickly became obsequious after recognizing the situation, as the head nurse, who could command the other nurse ghosts.

Having gained a basic understanding of the nurse ghost's general setup and mechanics, Yan Ming led the male corpse, who was stepping on the seven nurses, slowly out into the corridor.

With a new ghost as a weapon, he could try to find out more about Dr. Zhang.

I bet that guy's holding a grudge and he's planning to settle the score with me.

It's best to resolve this before 5:30, otherwise, once the person in the mirror wakes up and starts controlling those beggar ghosts again, his phone will be in danger.

Yan Ming had once commanded one of the beggar ghosts, but it had been scattered to who knows where during the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts. However, he could roughly sense that the beggar ghost had not completed the previous command and was temporarily in a completely ethereal state.

If Dr. Zhang chooses to reset the command at this point, it will be useless. It means that the beggar will re-arrange the order of the theft, and Yan Ming has already prepared a lot of miscellaneous items in his pocket, such as dozens of loose tissues.

If we steal items one by one, from low to high value, it would probably take until dawn.

Unless Dr. Zhang wakes up the person in the mirror and forces him to work overtime, Yan Ming has no other options.

One can only hope that the person in the mirror is a hardcore loafer, who says they won't work overtime and then goes off to sleep somewhere no one can find them.

It's unclear what Dr. Zhang's "feigning ghost" technique actually entails; perhaps we could try testing his ghostly abilities using a male corpse.

Yan Ming thought to himself.

He had previously estimated Dr. Zhang's abilities, which consisted of three main components: "the hospital's ghost vault," "his own ghostly persona," and the possible existence of "strange game props."

He has already dismantled the Ghost Treasury, so if he wants to impersonate a ghost, he needs to conduct experiments to obtain the specific settings of the ghost.

As for the bizarre game items...

This is something that cannot be prevented, just like the possibility that Dr. Zhang might possess other map-like rules, making it an unpredictable danger.

Just then, Yan Ming keenly heard a peculiar sound.

"clatter."

A very faint sound.

It looked like something had been gently placed on the ground.

The soles of the feet?

Yan Ming frowned slightly, looked up at the light on the corridor ceiling, and then turned and ran to another location.

Not long after he started running, a cold glint blocked his path, forcing him to stop.

"Kakaka-"

It's a slippery head.

She was swung around like a meteor hammer by the ghost old woman and used as a weapon.

The "bite of cold light" just now was from Liu Liutou's wide-open mouth. Her lips had been deliberately torn apart and extended to both sides, making it particularly terrifying.

A set of sharp teeth was clattering together, making a strange "click-click-click" sound.

"A round little head, open your mouth wide and take a bite, gulp it down, and your belly is full and you smile."

Liu Liu Tou started chanting a special nursery rhyme again, and with her laughter, Liu Liu Tou visibly grew bigger, and the angle at which her mouth opened became even more terrifying, as if she could devour Yan Ming's head in one bite.

"Grandma has been looking for you so hard. Fortunately, heaven rewards those who persevere. Grandma can finally see your face again."

The old woman emerged from the darkness around the corner, a pleased smile on her face: "This time, I'm going to take good care of you and of course I won't let you escape again."

Yan Ming remained expressionless, simply taking a step back to shield the male corpse in front of him.

This was actually to be expected. The reason why the old woman couldn't find him was because he had transformed into a doctor. Now that he has reactivated his ghost eyes, the old woman will naturally be able to find his location through the connection of the ghost eyes.

"Stop running, give up, child. You know I won't let you escape this straight corridor again," the old woman said with a grin, her cat-like face full of excitement for the cruelty.

“Yes, I also searched for a while for such a suitable straight corridor.” Yan Ming’s gaze fell on the shadow in front of the ghost old woman.

The light was coming from behind the ghostly old woman, so her shadow was right in front of her.

Yan Ming let out a sigh of relief and used his Ghost Eye to make the nurse ghost under the male corpse's feet prepare to charge up.

"Grandma, have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?" he asked with a smile.

The old woman was startled for a moment: "Huh?"

The next second, Yan Ming had already found the right angle to turn on his phone's flashlight and shine it on the shadow of the male corpse.

When the light source is diagonally behind an object, the shadow will extend forward. The sharper the angle between the light source and the ground, the farther the shadow will extend.

Under Yan Ming's precise control, the shadow of the male corpse instantly extended by tens of meters. The nurse ghost under his feet completed its charging in advance and assumed the "Leo Kick" posture.

This kick, accelerated by the light, became incredibly swift, achieving a beautiful synergy between light and shadow—have you ever been kicked by light?
The nurse ghost, in its shadow form, pierced through the shadow in front of the old woman ghost, and the scene on the ground was like a shadowy longsword slashing through her body with lightning speed.

Contact between shadows will be reflected back to the physical body, and thus the terrifying kinetic energy amplified by the speed of light is simultaneously applied to the ghost granny.

Silently.

In just a moment, the old woman's body was cut in two by the nurse's flying kick.

Judging from the shadow on the wall, the ghostly old woman was cleanly severed in two, with her feet still firmly planted on the ground, while her raised upper body floated high in the air.

The upper and lower body segments are connected by scattered, floating, viscous blood.

Soon, this fragile connection also disappeared.

The old woman lay on the ground, cut in half at the waist, too weak to utter another word. Instead, the sly head came closer and began to gnaw at her body with a "crunching" sound.

If you open your mouth, you won't miss anything.

With the mindset that he'd rather die a full-fed ghost than not eat, he slunk his head and began to eat.

The male corpse then stepped forward, reached out and pulled away the long spinal chain from Liu Liu's head, denying her a chance to replenish herself.

The old woman completely lost consciousness, and then her body reverted to that of a middle-aged woman wearing a hospital gown.

However, the patient was still in a state of being cut in half at the waist, and his breathing gradually decreased. He would probably die completely soon.

Yan Ming was not yet sure what kind of ghost this middle-aged woman was pretending to be. Such ghosts could impersonate other people, and after locking onto Yan Ming, she pretended to be the only acquaintance of Yan Ming's—an old woman.

Fortunately, the old woman was a cat-faced old lady, a kind of completely solid ghost.

That's why the nurse ghost was able to kill him instantly with her light-speed flying kick. If it were a beggar ghost that could become intangible, then such a physical attack would be meaningless.

It might work against people, but it's not very effective against ghosts.

Moreover, this move has many limitations. There must be a light source behind the target so that his shadow will appear in front of him, making him a fixed target for attack.

Secondly, a certain distance needs to be maintained between them, otherwise the kinetic energy stored up will not be sufficient.

Finally, there must be no obstruction between the two, otherwise the light and shadow will be blocked by the obstruction and will not be able to hit the target smoothly.

However, it can be used as a lethal move in specific circumstances...

very good.

Yan Ming was very satisfied with his move; this extension of his ability was the significance of his exploration of the specific settings of ghosts.

The battle between ghosts is not a contest of strength, but a clash of mechanisms.

Do you understand the mechanism?
It's incomprehensible to encounter a ghost like the Cat-Faced Old Woman who relies on her physical strength for combat and possesses the magical ability to breathe fire.

Yan Ming glanced at the patient's corpse on the ground and lowered his eyes slightly.

He felt some sympathy for the patients' plight, but no guilt.

Having survived until now since the resurgence of supernatural phenomena, his heart has long been hardened, and he would never hesitate for a moment when decisiveness is required.

Otherwise, he would be disrespecting life.

It's not just about disrespecting one's own life, but also about disrespecting the lives of those who were killed by ghosts in the past office buildings.

So many people died to save him, even though they didn't die because of him, their deaths did allow him to live.

Yan Ming let out a long breath, controlling the male corpse to grab Liu Liutou, while at the same time having the nurse ghosts under the male corpse firmly control Liu Liutou's shadow to ensure that he had no space to relapse.

He walked deeper into the hospital, following the ghost eye mark he had left on Dr. Zhang.

Dr. Zhang has violated the taboo of the Ghost Eye, which is why Yan Ming can summon the Ghost Eye around him.

But that won't work now, because the two are too far apart, though he can sense their general location.

As Yan Ming walked, he smelled an unusually strong stench of blood.

He instinctively wanted to take a detour, because such a strong smell of blood meant that the ghosts in the vicinity were insatiable, and killing a few people would not stop them from their wandering hunting.

Such ghosts often represent troublesome creatures.

Extremely difficult to deal with.

Yan Ming prefers to avoid contact if possible, as he doesn't have the habit of courting death.

However, he had only taken a couple of steps when he noticed the source of the bloody smell.

It was a pool of blood outside the hospital.

Right there in the open space downstairs, a pool of blood was bubbling and bubbling, looking incredibly vibrant.

There were spreading cracks around the pool of blood, and thin streams of blood flowed along the cracks.

Those cracks...

It's like a blood vessel.

The pool of blood on the open ground was connected to the hospital building by blood vessels, and the whole thing was pulsating slightly, as if the blood was being drained from the hospital's veins.

It is alive.

The intense, malevolent aura almost suffocated Yan Ming. He silently swallowed and cautiously retreated.

Faced with something so extremely bizarre and irresistible, it was hard for him not to feel fear.

At that moment, something stirred in Yan Ming's mind, and he immediately realized it was the Ghost Eye.

The target with the ghostly eyes is nearby.

Dr. Zhang?!

Yan Ming followed the scent and peeked out of the corridor, looking up at the building. He saw Dr. Zhang standing on the edge of the hospital rooftop.

At this moment, Dr. Zhang's face was ashen, and his body swayed precariously, as if he were about to fall off the building at any moment.

"Huh?" Yan Ming's eyes widened. He hadn't expected that Dr. Zhang would threaten to jump off the building at the drop of a hat.

Isn't it just a medical accident involving an important patient?
Is it necessary to atone with death?
You're really inconsiderate.

However, Yan Ming quickly put away his joke, because he saw that Dr. Zhang had actually jumped down.

There was no levitation, no flight, no hovering.

Dr. Zhang was thrown off the rooftop like a rag doll, plunging straight into a pool of blood on the open ground.

Strangely, the pool of blood looked shallow, yet it easily engulfed Dr. Zhang, as if there were ten meters of depth underground.

In an instant, Yan Ming realized he was in trouble.

Because he could no longer sense the ghost eye mark on Dr. Zhang's body.

Bad.
