Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

More than half a day has passed since the arrival of the eerie fog. The dark and thick fog has completely enveloped the entire coastal area, making the city's streets and buildings appear blurred in the fog.

The streets were now deserted, with only a single streetlamp flickering its faint light to illuminate the road ahead.

Just then, a biting wind blew by, and two figures, one large and one small, slowly emerged from the eerie mist.

At this moment, Xiao He felt a chill wind blow towards him, and the coldness on his body became even more intense.

He looked at the streets shrouded in eerie mist, resembling a ghostly underworld, and couldn't help but think to himself.

"If these eerie fogs persist forever, then this coastal city is doomed."

The perpetual presence of the eerie fog signifies the success of the cultists' "creation" plan, which has successfully transformed the coastal city into a realm of mystery.

If that's the case, it would be a pity for the people of Binhai, since ordinary people would absolutely not be able to survive in the Ghost Realm.

Even a master of divination like Xiao He wasn't confident he could survive in the bizarre and unpredictable realm forever.

However, Xiao He secretly calculated that with his current strength and trump cards, he could at least leave this place alive.

Just then, a scene reminiscent of a famous scene from a horror movie unfolded.

Ring ring ring!

A crisp bell rang out suddenly on the quiet street, sounding particularly jarring.

Even Jack, who was standing next to him, was startled by the sudden ringing of the bell.

After all, many horror movies are related to a certain kind of telephone ringtone!

Thinking of this, Jack immediately looked in the direction where the bell was ringing.

The sound of the bell came directly from Xiao He's pocket, where Zheng Hao had given him a temporary communicator.

Feeling the vibration inside his pocket, Xiao He frowned immediately.

In an instant, he guessed who was calling him.

He then took out a communicator from his pocket, and as soon as he put it to his ear, Spider-Man's deep voice came through.

"Where are you now?"

That's right, the person looking for Xiao He was his "boss" --- Spider Man.

After all, in the Night Demon Division, and even in the entire Binhai, the only person who has his contact information and would call him is Spider Man.

Upon hearing the Spider-Man's words, Xiao He's heart tightened.

Could this guy be here to confront me because I haven't been to the hospital for so long?

After thinking for a moment, Xiao He decided that he should avoid internal conflict and find out the other party's purpose in contacting him before making any plans. After all, the other party's purpose in calling him could not possibly be just to "care" about where he was.

"I'm on my way to the hospital now."

Xiao He answered calmly.

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before the Spider-Man said in a heavy tone, "When you get to the hospital, do not go inside on your own. Just wait outside the gate. We have lost contact with three of our Ghost Hunters inside the hospital, and the situation is very dangerous. We will make further plans after I get to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He was startled, and a sense of unease instantly spread through him.

The fact that three Ghost Keepers disappeared at once could only mean that the danger inside the hospital far exceeded their original expectations.

Before he could ask what was going on, the spider-man's voice came from the other end of the communicator again.

"Also, according to the schedule, you should be at the hospital by now."

The spider-man's voice seemed to conceal a strange undertone: "I know the coastal area is rife with eerie things these days. It's normal to be targeted by something strange and delayed while traveling, but..."

At this point, the spider-man paused slightly, then said, "We can't drag this out too long, you should understand that, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao He immediately understood that the Spider Man had guessed his "passive resistance" behavior.

After all, given Xiao He and Jack's strength, plus the fact that the strange forces that had just emerged from the mysterious fog were not yet very powerful, it was absolutely impossible that they hadn't reached the mission's destination by now.

However, faced with the threat in the spider man's words, Xiao He simply smiled slightly and then slowly replied with two words.

"clear."

That being said, there's a saying: "When a general is in the field, he may disobey the emperor's orders."

It's one thing to understand something, but whether or not to do it is another matter entirely.

Especially knowing how dangerous the hospital at the mission's destination was, where even three Ghost Masters had perished, if he went there, he would only be cannon fodder as a scout. Of course, this cannon fodder status only depends on his own actions before he used his trump cards.

However, the spider-man on the other end of the communication seemed to know exactly what Xiao He was thinking, and said, "Good that you understand. I'm on my way to that hospital now. According to the schedule, you should arrive before me. If you arrive later than me, it can only mean one thing..."

"That means you've encountered a rather troublesome anomaly. I will personally come to your aid."

Before Xiao He could say anything, the spider-man's voice on the other end of the communication channel abruptly stopped.

Upon hearing this, Xiao He's expression immediately stiffened.

This isn't a rendezvous; it's clearly a special trip to "kidnap" them because they were afraid they wouldn't come.

At this moment, Jack, who was standing next to Xiao He, also looked somewhat serious.

Thanks to the quiet surroundings, he heard every word of the conversation between Xiao He and the Spider Man.

At first, when Jack learned that the destination of this mission was so dangerous, he secretly thought that his "slacking off" was indeed the right choice.

However, when he learned that if he and Xiao He did not arrive at the hospital, the destination of their mission, in time, Spider-Man would come to "pick them up" in person, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy-hearted.

Thinking about this, Jack thought to himself that this was exactly what the saying meant: what is meant to be will be.

Moreover, he had no doubt that Spider-Man would be able to find them in the fog-shrouded city streets.

Jack slowly looked down at his body, where a communicator had been implanted, which, strictly speaking, was also a locator.

Then, he slowly looked up at Xiao He again. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning in his eyes was very clear.

"What do we do now?"

At this moment, the cooperative relationship between these two men, who were originally cooperating for some kind of benefit, seemed to become even closer.

Upon seeing Jack's gaze, Xiao He immediately understood what he meant.

After frowning and pondering for a moment, the first thing that came to his mind was...

Should we make a fortune first, and then leave this godforsaken place, Binhai?

Anyway, as long as he changes his appearance, no one will be able to find him.

If you can't bear to part with the resources of the Night Demon Division, you can always rejoin the Night Demon Division under that skin later.

However, Xiao He rejected this idea the moment it arose in his mind.

If you always choose to run away when you encounter danger, you will only ever be a weak person who runs away for the rest of your life.

Initially lacking strength, fleeing can be considered a strategic retreat.

But now, with a bunch of strange cards in hand, Xiao He has some confidence, plus some life-saving abilities, so he can definitely venture into the lion's den.

With this in mind, Xiao He secretly made a decision.

"Let's go."

After saying those two words expressionlessly, he walked towards the hospital again. Jack, who was standing next to him, immediately understood what he meant after hearing those two words.

"It seems that even if I manage to come back safely this time, I'll be badly injured."

Jack thought to himself, then shook his head, no longer thinking about these unpleasant things, and started to catch up with Xiao He's pace with his short legs.

At this moment, the eerie atmosphere in the surrounding fog grew even stronger, as if invisible demons from hell were lurking within.

Suddenly, a low, hissing roar came from within the eerie mist, followed by a murmured chant, much like a spell.

An unknown, eerie creature was drawn over by the earlier communication ringtone.

......

Not long after.

Xiao He and Jack continued walking through the city streets shrouded in eerie fog. The streets were still deserted, and the darkness was still chilling.

In this hazy, dark environment, a sign pointing to a hospital was faintly visible through the black fog.

Upon seeing the sign, Xiao He and Jack immediately realized that they were close to their destination.

As for the strange creature that was attracted by the communication ringtone, it was naturally taken down by Jack, who was "easily" commanded by Xiao He.

As mentioned earlier, the mysterious fog had only been there for about half a day, and the strange creatures that had been born from it were not very powerful. Apart from some creatures that were naturally able to counter Jack, the others were easy to deal with.

However, as time went on, the power of the eerie mist grew stronger, the strangeness of its appearance increased, and its abilities became increasingly bizarre.

Especially... the closer they got to the hospital, the stronger the strange phenomena around them became.

This situation is very similar to a scene in a certain classic novel.

Thinking about this, Xiao He understood why the people of the Night Demon Division would guess that this hospital was one of the key points of the Night Demon Cult's "creation" plan.

Soon, following the signs on the street, Xiao He and Jack arrived at the entrance of the hospital.

Strangely enough, the closer the strange creatures appeared to the hospital, the stronger they became, and there were many more of them than before. However, as soon as Xiao He and his group stepped into the vicinity of the hospital gate, the strange creatures around them seemed to disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.

However, Xiao He quickly figured out the reason.

According to the law of the jungle, this hospital must be hiding a monster that is several times more powerful than the monsters outside. This hospital is its territory, which is why the monsters around dare not appear nearby.

Thinking of this, Xiao He slowly raised his head and looked through the hospital gate at the hospital building that was hidden in the eerie mist. Although the building did not seem to exude any strong eerie aura, he still felt a strange unease in his heart.

Xiao He frowned, thinking to himself, "It seems this is going to be a tough battle."

No one knows what kind of strange creature will appear in this hospital next.

Speaking of which, those strange creatures born from the eerie mist are relatively easy to deal with. After all, almost all of them correspond to monsters in a certain horror movie, so you can at least know the abilities and weaknesses of these strange creatures through horror movies.

But the strange creature in the hospital... its appearance, abilities, and strength are all unknown.

But the unknown enemy is the most terrifying.

at the same time.

Time passed slowly, and the eerie fog around them grew thicker and thicker.

The fog was so thick that Xiao He felt his existence was insignificant compared to the surrounding eerie mist, and the aura contained within the mist made him feel inexplicably tense.

Just then, two beams of light suddenly appeared from the darkness, like two beacons illuminating the way for passersby. But for some reason, Xiao He felt that these two "beacons" were more like the bloodthirsty light of a wild beast, which made him recall the strange creature he had dealt with before, which was just like the taxi.

boom!

The next instant, accompanied by the roar of a car engine, a small car-like silhouette slowly emerged from the black mist.

When the shadow finally burst out of the black mist, Xiao He and Jack were immediately drawn to it.

"this......"

For a moment, Xiao He's expression looked rather strange, and even Jack's expression was somewhat dumbfounded.

The silhouette-like shape was indeed a car, but unlike any other vehicle, it exuded a strong, eerie aura.

Moreover, the car's body resembles a giant black snake, with eerie blood-red patterns shimmering on its dark paint. At first glance, it looks like blood-stained runes and tattoos, and the black antenna on the roof extends outwards like the horn of a giant snake.

The car's tires had no spokes, but only a few huge steel teeth that gleamed with a chilling light. The treads on the tires resembled the sharp claws of a ferocious beast, as if they could tear apart anything in their path at any moment.

Moreover, the entire body of the car, from front to back, was bent and deformed, like the body of a python coiling around.

It's less like a means of transportation and more like a monstrous beast.

pat!

Just then, the sound of a car door opening came from inside, and a figure stepped out of the car.

Xiao He and Jack took a closer look and realized that the person who came was none other than their "old leader" --- Spider-Man.

Although he was driving a strange little car that looked rather abnormal but was actually quite cool, the Spider-Man's face was full of solemnity.

"No need to look anymore, this is a strange object."

As the Spider-Man walked toward the hospital entrance, he said, "Given the current situation in Binhai, an ordinary car can't be driven on the road."

After saying that, Spider-Man walked straight to Xiao He and Jack, then looked up at the situation inside the hospital. Through the silhouettes in the darkness, a sinister scene could be vaguely seen.

Spider-Man looked at the hospital and said in a low voice, "The next operation might be a bit dangerous; we must proceed with caution."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He was immediately taken aback.

"Us? Just the three of us?"

He originally thought there would be at least a dozen or twenty Ghost Masters in this operation, since three Ghost Masters had already perished here.

Upon hearing Xiao He's slightly surprised voice, the Spider-Man nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, just the three of us."

Hearing this, even Jack hesitated.

Seeing this, the Spider-Man took a deep breath and said, "Sometimes having more people isn't necessarily a good thing, and I won't joke around with my own life. This time, I brought over a few strange artifacts from the Night Demon Division. With the abilities of these artifacts, we can easily solve the trouble in this hospital."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He and Jack suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder Spider-Man was so confident; he was armed with a powerful weapon.

"Let's go."

As soon as the Spider-Man finished speaking, he pushed open the hospital doors with all his might. The three of them entered slowly and walked towards the hospital building, which was faintly visible in the darkness.

As the three carefully crossed the main road, they soon arrived inside the hospital building.

As soon as they entered, the Spider-Man's gaze was immediately drawn to a bloodstained scythe on the ground.
