Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

"Following discussions among the Alliance's top leadership, the Binhai City Ghost Night Division branch has been officially established. From today onwards, all bizarre incidents in Binhai City will be handled entirely by the Binhai City Ghost Night Division..."

At this time, more than half a month had passed since the strange fog descended on Fugui Residential Area. Today, a piece of news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Binhai City, and every citizen of Binhai City who heard the news was shocked.

This is because the Night Demon Division is finally going to move into Binhai City.

Although not every citizen of Binhai City knows what the establishment of the Binhai City branch of the Ghost Night Division means for Binhai City, those who know about the Ghost Night Division are overjoyed.

Because the Night Watchers are a sharp weapon in the Alliance's hands specifically used to deal with the supernatural, as long as a city is guarded by the Night Watchers, the number of supernatural events will not decrease, but the speed at which supernatural events are dealt with will be greatly improved. This also means that the number of people who lose their lives due to the supernatural will be greatly reduced.

However, the establishment of the Night Demon Division was just a slightly hot news item for Xu Yuan; he never paid attention to strange things.

"Ding-dong, the train has arrived at its final stop. Please disembark in an orderly manner. Thank you for your cooperation."

Upon hearing the notification tone, Xu Yuan picked up the bag beside him and followed the surging passengers out of the carriage.

After leaving the station, he walked through dirty and dilapidated streets and came to an old residential area. In a secluded corner of the area, there was a flower shop with a neon sign. This shop was left to him by Xu Yuan's parents. The first floor was where he sold flowers, and the second floor was his home.

Since his parents died in a car accident, Xu Yuan's life has been not bad thanks to the compensation and the flower shop. However, after his parents' death, his already withdrawn personality became even more withdrawn. He usually stays in the flower shop tinkering with flowers and plants, and only occasionally goes to small villages in the suburbs to purchase flower seeds, planting tools and fertilizers.

Carrying the bag, Xu Yuan slowly walked to the front of the flower shop, then took out his key from his pocket and opened the heavy door.

It was already late at night. Although the people of the Alliance were used to nightlife, the flower shop was in a rather remote location, so it was quiet and there wasn't a single person in sight. Moreover, the occasional night breeze made people feel a chill.

However, compared to the chilly outside, the flower shop felt exceptionally warm inside because it had bioluminescent lamps that provided extra light for the plants, which Xu Yuan had turned on before leaving.

After entering the flower shop and closing the door, Xu Yuan put down the bag in his hand and prepared to go upstairs to take a hot shower to relax, since he had been too tired from work today.

Boom boom boom!

However, just as Xu Yuan was about to go upstairs, a loud knocking came from the door behind him.

"The shop is already closed. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Xu Yuan frowned, turned around and called out towards the gate.

Although the flower shop is usually still open at this time, Xu Yuan had something to do today and was also a bit tired, so he didn't plan to open for business. Besides, almost no one comes to buy flowers at this time anyway.

Boom boom boom!

However, the person outside the door seemed not to have heard Xu Yuan's words. Instead of stopping knocking, they pounded on the flower shop's roller shutter door even harder.

"I already said we're closed and not doing business anymore."

Xu Yuan shouted impatiently at the gate again.

As he walked toward the gate, he picked up a shovel from the tools laid out beside him.

Xu Yuan wasn't a fool; he knew that unless the other party was hard of hearing, this situation was definitely not a good thing.

Just as Xu Yuan approached the gate, he could hear the heavy knocking coming from outside more clearly.

This time, however, he didn't shout to drive the other person away; instead, he gripped the shovel in his hand tightly.

He had no intention of opening the door; he was simply prepared for the other party to break in.

In this situation, only a fool would open the door to check.

"It seems necessary to install a surveillance camera at the main gate."

Xu Yuan muttered something to himself.

He had thought of this idea before, but it hadn't been realized for certain reasons.

Just as Xu Yuan was thinking this, the knocking outside the door suddenly stopped, as if the person outside had already left.

However, this situation made Xu Yuan's heart jump into his throat.

Because he knew in his heart that the main event was yet to come.

Zizizi!

Sure enough, accompanied by a crackling sound of electricity, the light bulbs in the store began to flicker incessantly.

"Is it really just eerie?"

Xu Yuan frowned, his expression turning somewhat grim.

Although he wasn't particularly interested in strange things, he did have a considerable understanding of them.

As far as he knew, the league news had once reported a strange incident about someone knocking on the door at night. It was said that if someone knocked on the door late at night, you would be chased by the strange creature regardless of whether you opened the door or not. As for how to deal with it...

Xu Yuan forgot.

It's not that he forgot, but rather that he didn't read the news section carefully before getting busy with his own things.

The reason why Xu Yuan, who had lived in Binhai City for so many years, didn't take the strange things to heart at all, apart from a few reasons, was simply because he had never encountered a single strange event.

Tonight, it seems that this good fortune, which hasn't been seen in decades, is about to disappear.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Xu Yuan couldn't help but shiver.

"strangeness."

He felt a chilly wind blowing from behind, but in this warm and cozy flower shop with its doors and windows closed, where could such a wind come from?

"Could it be...?"

At this moment, Xu Yuan seemed to have thought of something. His pupils suddenly contracted, and he stiffly twisted his neck to look behind him. Before he could see if there was anything ghostly behind him, a sinister and eerie laugh rang in his ears.

Hee hee hee!

Hahaha!

Before Xu Yuan could even have a bad feeling, the lights in the store went out instantly, his vision went black, and then his consciousness was plunged into permanent darkness.

A few minutes later.

Click, click!

As the sound of the flower shop's roller shutter being pulled up rang out, a figure walked into the flower shop.

"Not bad, at least you're quite effective when dealing with ordinary people."

Dressed in black, Xiao He looked at the unconscious Xu Yuan lying on the ground and the hanging ghost floating beside him, and said with a smile, "I've finally waited for you."

Since Xiao He left the grove, he had been trying to find a suitable person to possess by contacting the underground forces in Binhai City. However, he couldn't find a suitable person because he originally planned to finish the job quickly. So, he had to possess a small-time hoodlum as a temporary replacement.

The longer the time drags on, the more likely Xiao He will be found by the magician.

Given his current strength, it would be best for him to avoid contact with the other party for the time being.

So, after possessing a petty thug, Xiao He, feeling a little relieved, began to look for a suitable candidate again. After spending a considerable sum of money, he finally found Xu Yuan, a florist who was an orphan, had a withdrawn personality, and even lived in a relatively remote place.

Orphaned and without family, with a withdrawn personality and few friends, living in a remote place with few neighbors, this kind of person was practically made for Xiao He to possess.

Of course, Xiao He didn't possess just anyone. Under normal circumstances, he was a mysterious figure with principles and a bottom line, and he only possessed bad people.

As for what constitutes a bad person, that's hard to say.

Of course, if the benefits are great, it's not impossible to be a good person, but possessing a good person's body might be a bit troublesome.

However, at least the Xu Yuan in front of me, who is lying unconscious on the ground with his eyes closed and a look of fear on his face, is definitely not a good person.

After looking around at his surroundings, Xiao He glanced at Xu Yuan's face and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Who would have thought that a bohemian young man who runs a flower shop would secretly be a psychopathic killer?"

According to the information Xiao He bought, Xu Yuan's personality became twisted after his parents died when he was young. He started by torturing and killing cats, and later he tortured and killed homeless people. He even used the bodies of these homeless people as fertilizer to grow flowers and plants. In order to better satisfy his perverted psychology, he even taught himself knife skills so that he could better torture those poor homeless people. In the end, in order to expand his business, he became an assassin and had a little reputation in the underground forces of Binhai City.

Oh, by the way, the flower shop that Xu Yuan inherited from his parents was actually originally a cat café.

This information was purchased by Xiao He from Xu Yuan's middleman at great expense. It seems that the middleman was also somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Yuan's perverted behavior, which is why he "reluctantly" betrayed his partner.

Of course, Xiao He wouldn't believe the one-sided story of a gangster. To verify the authenticity of the information, he even followed Xu Yuan for several days. Only after confirming that Xu Yuan was indeed a psychopathic killer did Xiao He make up his mind to take action against him tonight.

Thinking of this, Xiao He didn't intend to waste any more time. He looked at Xu Yuan on the ground, and with a thought, he activated his ability to possess someone's body.

As the lights in the shop went out again, Xiao He began the process of possessing Xu Yuan's body.

A few more minutes passed.

When the lights in the shop came on again, only Xu Yuan was left inside, while Xiao He had already disappeared.

Oh right, I almost forgot there's a hanging ghost floating around nearby.

"Unfortunately, this body's physical attributes are not as good as Chen Wu's."

Xiao He, who had successfully possessed Xu Yuan, was somewhat disappointed.

Although he has now successfully possessed Xu Yuan's body, he can only have Xu Yuan's physical attributes.

Chen Wu is the scarred man who possessed the body of the slaughterhouse.

Among the many people Xiao He possessed, Chen Wu had the best physical condition. However, what offered Xiao He some consolation was...

After temporarily adjusting to Xu Yuan's body, Xiao He picked up a small apple-peeling knife from the table next to him and casually swung it around.

call out!

With a whooshing sound, the knife accurately sliced ​​a sunflower in two not far away.

"But at least he has some skill, no wonder he can be an assassin. It's just a pity that he has a wicked heart and became a perverted assassin."

Xiao He sighed inwardly.

Although Xu Yuan doesn't have Chen Wu's physical strength, he has far more skills than Chen Wu. These include not only the throwing knife technique he just demonstrated, but also a lot of killing techniques, all of which are exactly what Xiao He needs right now.

When not wearing the clown mask, Xiao He's combat power consisted only of the Hanging Ghost and the body he possessed, although the body's power did not always transfer with each possession.

Now, Chen Wu's mediocre martial arts skills combined with Xu Yuan's killing techniques are enough for Xiao He to protect himself when facing ordinary people.

Xiao He believed that as long as he continued to possess bodies, he would eventually make something of himself.

With this in mind, Xiao He put aside his thoughts and began to make plans for what was to come.

According to his perception, Xu Yuan's body could survive for at least a year. In other words, as long as he didn't go out and about, Xu Yuan's identity could definitely survive for a period of time.

However, in order to increase one's strength and gain more confidence to survive in this world, one must definitely travel around.

"However, at least for the next month or two, I can take a break," Xiao He thought to himself.

As for why he did this, it was naturally because he had also witnessed the disappearance of that so-called Binhai City Ghost Night Division branch.

He wanted to see if that so-called Ghost Night Si was really as powerful as the rumors suggested. If so, then he could consider moving to another city.

Thinking of this, Xiao He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the bag that Xu Yuan had been carrying.

After possessing Xu Yuan's body, Xiao He naturally knew what was inside the bag.

"What a pity."

Xiao He silently mourned for the innocent person who died at Xu Yuan's hands that night. It was pitiful that the person's body had been turned into fertilizer and brought back by Xu Yuan.

"Next, I'll dispose of some of Xu Yuan's tools to prevent him from being discovered, and then I'll take care of the middleman when I have time," Xiao He thought to himself as he planned for the future.

"Oh, right, we need to install another surveillance camera at the main gate, otherwise we won't know whether the people coming in are real or monsters."

Xiao He quietly looked around. From this moment on, this flower shop belonged to him.

Speaking of which, he used to enjoy growing flowers and plants, but he stopped due to tool shortages. However, the flowers and plants in this world seem to be different from those he used to grow.

Thinking of this, Xiao He shook his head.

Now is not the time to think about these things.
