Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

boom!

A huge explosion shattered the silence of the darkness, accompanied by billowing smoke and a burst of flame shooting into the sky.

Through the gaps in the blasted reinforced concrete walls, one could see dust and smoke spreading everywhere, and the air was filled with an unpleasant odor.

Amidst the devastation, more than twenty armed Alliance patrol members scattered and fought their way back, their faces filled with despair and fear. Yet, they remained steadfast in their beliefs, fighting for their convictions, while their enemy was a gigantic ball of flesh.

This fleshy ball looks like a slightly oval sphere with a terrifyingly large, gaping maw filled with sharp teeth, seemingly capable of easily devouring any food in its path. The surface of the fleshy ball is also covered with a layer of viscous liquid, making it look extremely disgusting.

Countless fleshy tentacles protrude from the top and bottom of the fleshy ball, each more than ten meters long, resembling twisted tree roots or mutated venomous snakes.

Most strikingly, this fleshy ball had a human face growing on it—a distorted and ferocious face that occasionally showed signs of pain.

At this moment, Xiao He, hiding in the dark corner of the high-rise building, looked at the slightly ferocious face and, feeling that it looked somewhat familiar, recognized the other person's identity.

"I never expected that one of these brothers would die a tragic death, while the other would become a monster."

Looking at Huang Yi's ferocious face and her "slightly" obese body, Xiao He was somewhat surprised.

According to his perception, the monster, which he would temporarily call "Fleshball," was emanating a strange aura. Moreover, it was a monster whose strength far exceeded that of a one-star monster and was faintly approaching that of a two-star monster.

Although he only met the two twin brothers once, he still had some impression of them.

"I wonder where the rest of them went."

Thinking of this, Xiao He looked around and quickly spotted the remaining few people. He saw that these people were moving away from the battlefield under the cover of two people who looked quite skilled.

Under the influence of the mask's evil will, Xiao He did not choose to offer assistance. Instead, he hid in a corner and, with a look of ecstasy, devoured the power of fear that permeated the surroundings using the mask's inherent abilities.

To be honest, even without the influence of the mask's evil will, Xiao He didn't intend to take action, not for any other reason than his stance.

He's acting strangely now. It's good enough if he doesn't harm people, how could he possibly risk being exposed to save someone?

Just then, Xiao He, who was watching the "bizarre battle against humans" with great interest, suddenly realized something.

"This fleshy ball's target..."

Xiao He raised an eyebrow.

He discovered that the strange target of the fleshy ball seemed to be the other party's former partners, namely the remaining few people.

"Could it be that because those people refused to help him, he turned into a monster, and now he's come for revenge?"

Xiao He had some guesses in his mind.

Such a melodramatic plot shouldn't happen, right?

Just as he was speculating, the battle not far away seemed to have reached a fever pitch.

The fleshy ball twisted its heavy body, then opened its gaping maw, which resembled a giant meat grinder. Immediately afterward, its wildly thrashing fleshy tentacles wrapped around the neck of an armed patrolman who was trailing behind. With a pitiful and brief scream, the poor man's body was instantly minced into a bloody pulp by the ball's mouth and swallowed whole.

Such a horrific scene instantly struck the hearts of everyone present.

The crowd stared at their companion who had been devoured, their eyes filled with helplessness and fear.

Just as the fleshy ball's tentacles were about to reach out to the next armed patrolman, a young woman wielding two sharp knives rushed out from the rubble and swung one at the fleshy ball.

With its massive body, the flesh ball was destined to be unable to dodge this lightning-fast strike.

as predicted.

next second.

Swish!

With a flash of light, the blade effortlessly severed one of the fleshy ball's tentacles, but this level of attack seemed to cause it no real damage.

"Hurry up! It'll be too late if we don't leave now!" the young woman shouted at the armed patrolmen who seemed a little terrified.

"I understand..."

Once the armed patrol members came to their senses and realized they were still in the same spot, instead of inside the meatball's mouth, they stammered a reply before immediately grabbing their weapons and retreating.

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

Even if the weapons carried by these armed patrolmen are capable of harming the supernatural, the level of weapons they are equipped with for this operation is only capable of harming first-level supernatural beings. Against supernatural beings of this level, their weapons are nothing more than fire pokers.

After rescuing the armed patrolman, the young woman gripped her twin knives tightly, took a deep breath, and stared resolutely at the enormous, eerie ball of flesh. Then... her heart sank.

"This is at least a mid-stage Tier 2 monster!"

The young woman's name was Zhu Chan. She was one of the members of the decapitation squad who had been ordered to provide support. She was also a martial artist whose martial arts level was comparable to the early stage of the second tier.

Don't be fooled by how easily she cut off the fleshy ball's tentacles; she knew perfectly well that her actions were merely equivalent to trimming its nails.

In this world shrouded in eerie mist, she was no match for a mid-stage Tier 2 monster.

"We can only hold on for a little while longer."

Zhu Chan's heart stirred. Now she could only pin her hopes on the decapitation squad members who were coming later. Many of these people had mid-stage second-tier combat power. If everyone joined forces, they would definitely be able to get rid of this disgusting and bizarre ball of flesh.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chan rushed forward and fiercely wielded her twin swords. Her twin swords were also weapons developed by the Alliance scholars. It was said that they were made from the tail of a strange humanoid creature captured in the deep sea. At this moment, the two twin swords danced in her hands as if they were fish swimming in water, easily cutting through the fleshy tentacles reaching towards her.

In an instant, dozens of tentacles were severed and shattered into countless chunks of flesh scattered on the ground.

The fleshy ball with its tentacles severed screamed eerily and frantically, as countless agile tentacles, like sharp spikes gleaming with cold light, attacked. However, while the tentacles were fast, Zhu Chan was even faster.

As she charged forward, she channeled her powerful inner energy into her eyes, causing the fleshy ball's bizarre attacks to slow down and become clumsy. Then, she stepped onto a fleshy tentacle that extended from the fleshy ball's body, leaped into the air, and flew forward. Immediately afterward, she swung her hands, thrusting two long swords straight at the hideous human face on the fleshy ball's gaping maw.

Zhu Chan had already noticed the presence of the human face. With her extensive experience, she immediately recognized that the human face was the strange weakness of this fleshy creature.

However, just as Zhu Chan's twin blades were only an arm's length away from the human face, a sudden doubt arose in her mind.

How could this strange creature, which exudes the aura of a mid-stage second-tier being, have such weak combat power?

At that moment, she suddenly remembered the warning her teacher had left behind.

"Those ghostly things are called weird because their abilities are bizarre and unpredictable, and cannot be understood through common sense. If you encounter a weird that is weak in combat but has a terrifying aura, you should be especially careful, because this weird may not have used its true power yet."

Thinking of this, Zhu Chan suddenly heard a series of whispers in her ears. There were men and women, but what they had in common was that their voices were full of anger, resentment, pain and despair.
