Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

at the same time.

The south gate of the community square.

Wang Yao and Zheng Hao were staring intently at the building that was faintly visible in the distance, shrouded in black mist, with solemn expressions.

As the bizarre incidents of heart-ripping in Fugui Residential Area have become increasingly serious, the Alliance has been severely short-handed. It is precisely for this reason that the two people who were in charge of other bizarre incidents were transferred here to provide assistance.

But neither of them expected to be so unlucky. They actually encountered a strange fog here.

However, unlike Zheng Hao, who kept muttering about how unlucky he was, Wang Yao had other ideas after discovering that she was trapped in the strange fog. Naturally, her little scheme did not escape the eyes of her partner, Zheng Hao.

"Let me tell you, forget about it. The monsters that appear in the mist are much more ferocious than those in the real world, and their combat power is also a bit stronger than the monsters of the same level in the real world. If you're thinking of taking them, I advise you to give up on that idea." Zheng Hao turned his head and said to Wang Yao with a serious expression.

Ever since he saw the look in Wang Yao's eyes, he had been able to discern what she was thinking.

Many martial artists like them have, by chance, mastered a method to temporarily merge with the supernatural and gain its power during their battles with it.

However, this method is too risky and too radical; one wrong move and you could lose your life.

Seeing Wang Yao remain silent, Zheng Hao said somewhat helplessly, "Instead of risking your life, you might as well make a great contribution in this operation. Maybe when you get back you can apply to the Alliance to merge with the supernatural."

The success rate of a fusion with an uncanny entity within the alliance is much higher than with a regular uncanny entity. After all, as a reward, the alliance would never risk the lives of its own people.

"Don't try to persuade me."

A determined glint flashed in Wang Yao's eyes: "I have a feeling that the arrival of this strange fog may be an opportunity for me."

Although Zheng Hao tried to persuade her with kind words, Wang Yao was very stubborn. Once she made up her mind, not even ten oxen could pull her back.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hao shook his head. Perhaps after this mission, he would have to find a new partner.

If Wang Yao dies, he will naturally need to find a new partner.

If Wang Yao hadn't died and had mastered the method of temporarily fusing with the strange entity, he would still have needed to find a new partner. After all, the Alliance was going to reassign all the martial artists who had successfully fused with the strange entity to a special department.

"Attention all personnel, there is an emergency ahead."

Just then, Wang Yao suddenly whispered into the walkie-talkie in her hand.

Upon hearing Wang Yao's words, Zheng Hao's expression also became serious. After calling over the remaining special operations team members who were guarding other places, he looked ahead and indeed spotted a figure slowly walking towards them from the faint black mist not far away.

Martial artists have much better eyesight than ordinary people, and the special operations team's martial artists are also equipped with military-grade binoculars, which multiplies their observation capabilities several times over. If it weren't for the overwhelming influence of the mysterious fog, they probably would have spotted the figure long ago.

Zheng Hao thought to himself that what was bound to happen had to happen, and then gripped his weapon tightly.

It was an old-fashioned revolver, a type of firearm that appeared in the later stages of the Martial Era.

Don't underestimate this antique-looking pistol; it's one of the Alliance's latest weapons specifically designed to deal with the supernatural.

The Alliance's scholars discovered through research that, apart from some of the bizarre creatures that possess physical bodies, most of the bizarre bodies are actually composed of an energy form temporarily referred to as dark matter.

Dark matter is also referred to by some scholars as "strange matter".

By extracting dark matter from the supernatural or strange creatures, and through the manipulation of the Alliance scholars, a special bullet capable of damaging the supernatural was created—the dumdum bullet.

As for why it's called that, well, the one who invented this special bullet was an Alliance scholar named Dam.

Although Zheng Hao's revolver only had six dumdum bullets, each bullet was enough to seriously injure a level one monster, provided it hit its target.

If the strange creature is seriously injured, then they can easily deal with it using their internal strength cultivation.

However, if the strange creature isn't seriously injured, it's uncertain who will defeat whom.

Of course, if possible, capturing a monster alive is the best option, since the rewards from the alliance are very generous, but sometimes capturing it alive is harder than killing it.

"Wait a minute."

At this moment, Wang Yao suddenly spoke again.

"Something's not right. It seems like more than one person came."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hao's expression immediately turned extremely ugly, and he also noticed that several more figures had appeared in the distance.

"Damn it, one weirdo was already difficult enough, and now there are several more. What's the point of fighting them?"

After cursing under his breath a few more times, Zheng Hao prepared to turn on the walkie-talkie to request backup.

Including him, Wang Yao, and several special operations team members who were already on their way, there were only six Tier 1 combatants on the South Gate side, while there were at least four or five figures appearing not far away.

With four or five against six, there's no advantage whatsoever.

However, at this moment, Wang Yao seemed to have noticed something and grabbed Zheng Hao's hand, which was about to turn on the walkie-talkie.

"Wait, what's coming doesn't seem to be something strange, but... people?"

Wang Yao's expression became somewhat strange. She frowned and thought to herself, "This is odd."

The residents of the community had clearly been gathered in the community square before the strange fog descended, so how could there still be people outside?

Faced with Wang Yao's doubts, Zheng Hao, who had also clearly seen the figure not far away, was also full of question marks.

"That's really strange. How could there still be people outside? Aren't they afraid of dying?"

After a moment of contemplation, Wang Yao guessed, "Perhaps these people are just strange beings disguised as humans."

"That should be right." Zheng Hao nodded in agreement when he heard Wang Yao say that.

Just as the two were talking, several blurry figures that had appeared in the fog ahead gradually became clear in front of Zheng Hao, Wang Yao, and a group of Alliance armed patrols.

There were five young men and women with faces full of surprise. Their clothes looked quite expensive, but they were covered in dust and stains, and some places were even cut in several places by sharp objects.

Upon seeing the members of the alliance, the man at the front, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, immediately brightened up and quickly ran towards them, raising his hand and shouting as he ran.

"Don't shoot, we are human beings, not monsters."

However, they were wary of Han Cen, Zheng Hao, Wang Yao, and the group of armed patrolmen from the alliance who came running towards them.

Although these four people look like humans, in this place shrouded in eerie mist, who can guarantee that they are really human?

"stop!"

Wang Yao immediately spoke up to stop them.

Zheng Hao and the members of the Alliance patrol team beside her simultaneously raised their weapons and aimed them at Han Cen.

Seeing the cold, dark gun barrels pointed at him, Han Cen's face, which had been full of joy, froze. In order to save his own life from being accidentally killed, he had no choice but to stop moving forward.

At the same time, Du Zishan and the others behind him also arrived at Han Cen's side. Exhausted and panting, Shen Yuanliang walked behind Han Cen and shouted loudly, "Don't shoot! We are really human. My father is Shen Wansan."

In order to gain the alliance's protection, he disregarded everything else and directly invoked his father's name.

"Shen Wansan?"

Upon hearing this, both Wang Yao and Zheng Hao were taken aback.

Shen Wansan is the chairman of Shen's Group, one of the top ten well-known enterprises in Binhai City. He is powerful and prestigious, and in Binhai City, Shen's Group is only slightly inferior to Zhou's Group.

As the youngest son of Shen Wansan, Shen Yuanliang had no interest in doing business, but he was fascinated by the supernatural.

Anyway, he wasn't the heir to the Shen Group, so Shen Yuanliang never bothered with the group's affairs. He spent his days eating, drinking, having fun, and collecting strange things.

However, Shen Yuanliang was, after all, Shen Wansan's son, so his appearance was naturally familiar to everyone in Binhai City, including Wang Yao and Zheng Hao.

However, when the two of them saw the faces of the remaining people clearly, their expressions turned extremely ugly.

This is because, apart from one person who looks ordinary but whose skills appear to be at the level of a Ming Jin martial artist, the rest of them all have extraordinary backgrounds.

Feng Qian and Han Cen are both children of the heads of one of the top ten well-known enterprises in Binhai City.

The identity and background of Du Zishan are even more extraordinary.

"Are you Mayor Du's daughter, Du Zishan?"

Zheng Hao's tone was somewhat hesitant, but he still recognized Du Zishan's identity as the daughter of Du Yitian, the mayor of Binhai City.

However, despite their illustrious backgrounds, Zheng Hao, a seasoned veteran, soon discovered a common thread among them: they were all the least favored descendants in their respective families.

Especially Du Zishan. Everyone in Binhai City knows that Du Yitian favors sons over daughters, but he has five daughters and only had a son when he was nearing the end of his life.

But no matter how you look at it, these people's status is ultimately far beyond what Zheng Hao and the others can compare to.

If these people die here, although the weather in Binhai City won't change, the water here will definitely become even more murky.

Of course, this is all on the premise that these people are real.

Thinking about the identities of these people, Zheng Hao's expression began to show some difficulty.

If this matter is not handled properly, he will have a lot of headaches.

Although he was curious as to why these people were here, he had to verify their identities as it was his duty.

Thinking of this, he quickly told the people around him to put down their weapons, and then gave Wang Yao a look. She immediately understood, and the two of them stepped forward to verify their authenticity.

Zheng Hao pulled out something that looked like a scanner from his pocket and then spoke to Han Cheng and the others.

"Excuse me, everyone, could you please cooperate by lining up and coming forward one by one for inspection?"

The reason why the supernatural is called supernatural is because its abilities are bizarre and unpredictable, and naturally, it cannot avoid the supernatural that has the ability to disguise itself.

The device in Zheng Hao's hand is used to distinguish between humans and the supernatural.

Just as Zheng Hao was about to step forward to check the identities of the people, Wang Yao was not idle either. She took out her walkie-talkie and reported the situation to Wei Feng, who was sitting in the center of the square.

"Reporting, Captain, this is the South Gate of the Plaza team. I am the deputy captain, Wang Yao. We have found several survivors here."

At this point, Wang Yao paused, remained silent for a few seconds, and then continued, "Moreover, these people have somewhat special identities, they are..."

Just as Wang Yao was reporting the situation, Zheng Hao also walked up to Han Cen at the front with his equipment.

Looking at the instrument in Zheng Hao's hand, Han Cen looked somewhat nervous.

He wasn't afraid; it was just a normal reaction after being extremely frightened.

drop!

As a mechanical sound rang out, the green light on the instrument lit up.

Seeing this, Zheng Hao subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and then said to Han Cen, "You can go now."

Upon hearing this, Han Cen revealed a weary smile, as if he had just escaped a disaster. He adjusted his glasses and walked toward the patrol team behind Zheng Hao.

After checking Han Cen, Zheng Hao began checking the next person, Du Zishan.

drop!

The green light on the instrument lit up again, proving that Du Zishan was not a ghost.

Zheng Hao nodded, signaling the other party to leave.

Seeing this, Du Zishan exchanged a glance with Feng Qian beside her. After the latter nodded, Du Zishan let go of Feng Qian's hand and followed Han Cen's steps toward the group.

Next, Feng Qian and Shen Yuanliang passed the instrument's test without any major incidents. Seeing this, Zheng Hao, Wang Yao, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as these little darlings are fine, things will be much easier from now on.

Even if this last person is a weirdo disguised as a human, Zheng Hao and Wang Yao are confident enough to take him down, because the remaining four Tier 1 members of the South Gate team have already arrived at the scene.

Six against one, the advantage is in my hands.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, the combat strength of the strange creatures that possess the ability to disguise themselves is relatively low.

Fortunately, everything turned out alright in the end, when Zheng Hao placed the instrument in front of Huang Yi.

drop!

As expected, the green light on the instrument lit up again.

Zheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded to Huang Yi, then turned to Wang Yao and said, "Alright, all five of them are fine. We'll send a few people to escort them to Captain Wei's place later."

The South Gate is ultimately fraught with danger. If we leave these little devils here, and something happens to them when the strange forces attack, it will be a real problem.

However, before Wang Yao could respond.

A weak female voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Five...five people? Aren't there four of us here?" Feng Qian said, her voice trembling.

"Four people?"

Zheng Hao and Wang Yao were both taken aback.

Even Han Cen and the others looked completely bewildered.

"Yes, there were six of us at first, but then we encountered something strange, and two of us died..." Han Cen looked somewhat bewildered. As he was explaining, he caught a glimpse of Huang Yi standing at the back.

The next moment, he froze on the spot.

"Huang...Huang Yi?"

His voice sounded somewhat hurried.

He clearly remembered that Huang Yi, like Huang Zong, had died at the hands of a strange force while covering their escape.

Upon hearing this, Du Zishan and the others all looked at "Huang Yi" and immediately showed expressions of tension and fear.

Seeing this, Zheng Hao and Wang Yao immediately understood what had happened.

"Everyone, stand back."

Zheng Hao's expression changed, and he leaped away, immediately distancing himself from Huang Yi beside him. Then he raised the revolver in his hand, ready to pull the trigger.

This series of unexpected events left Huang Yi somewhat bewildered, and he still can't figure out what happened.

He had clearly been protecting Han Cen and his group the whole time, so why did they say he was dead?

Just then, some blurry images suddenly appeared in Huang Yi's mind, seemingly her encounter in the eerie fog, and everything shown in the images seemed so strange and absurd.

"So... I was already dead!"
