Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

Xiao He glanced at the spider-man, his eyes filled with a strange expression.

The thought of these words coming from the mouth of the demon wielder who loathed criminals still felt somewhat incongruous to him.

However, Xiao He nodded and responded with a smile, but said nothing.

After Spider-Man collected the parchment with Xiao He's signature from the table, he handed over a box.

"What is this?"

Xiao He took the box, opened it, and found an ID, a black bracelet, and a Union Bank credit card inside.

"This is your identification as a Nightmare Master, but you probably won't need it, since the Alliance would never let you act alone," the Spider-Man continued calmly. "And this bracelet is a dedicated communicator for our Nightmare Division, capable of maintaining communication even under the influence of eerie energy."

"As for this Union Bank credit card... it's for your salary."

"Although you're currently redeeming yourself through meritorious service, strictly speaking, you're still a Ghost Master under the Night Demon Division, so you'll naturally receive a monthly salary." At this point, the spider-man paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "However, your situation is a bit special, so we're giving you a credit card with a monthly credit limit of 100,000 Alliance Coins, which the Night Demon Division will be responsible for paying off."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He was somewhat surprised and astonished.

I didn't expect the benefits for the Ghost Hunters to be so good. They get 100,000 yuan a month without doing anything. But judging from what the Spider Man said, it seems like these benefits are a bit... bad?

Thinking of this, Xiao He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

When he first came to this world, he was very short of money. He never expected that in such a short time, he would be earning 100,000 a month.

However, after thinking about it, Xiao He realized that money didn't seem to have much use for him right now. No wonder the Spider Man had that kind of expression. For a Ghost Master who had mastered strange powers, there were simply too many ways to make money.

At this moment, the Spider-Man said again, "My contact information has been added to your communicator. You can contact me directly if you need anything. Of course, I will also notify you through your communicator if anything happens in the future."

"By the way, according to the rules, every Ghost Master who joins the Ghost Night Division can make some special small requests. As long as they are not too outrageous, the Ghost Night Division will try its best to fulfill them."

"A special little request!"

Xiao He was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Do those who control demons receive this kind of treatment?"

He thought for a moment, then spoke to the spider-man.

"Then I need a gun, and some special bullets that were mentioned in the Alliance news."

In Xiao He's memory, there were occasional news reports about the strange alliance. He didn't know which unlucky soul he had possessed had read a news article that said the alliance had developed a special bullet that could harm the strange, something like "Da something bullet".

Upon hearing Xiao He's request, the Spider Man's face immediately showed an incredulous expression, and even the Ghost Girl who was silently typing on the keyboard glanced at Xiao He with some surprise.

"What use do you have for these?"

The spider-man frowned: "For a master of supernatural abilities, they can generally handle supernatural events on their own with their own supernatural abilities. Using firearms can sometimes limit the effectiveness of their abilities."

"Furthermore, dumdum bullets are generally only used by Alliance members or Alliance warriors who have no ability to deal with strange phenomena. Although dumdum bullets are divided into different grades, at your current level you can only apply for some low-grade dumdum bullets."

The spider-man said calmly and coldly, "With your current strength, low-level dumdum bullets are completely useless against you, but..."

"Since you have made this request and it complies with the regulations, Guiyesi will naturally not refuse you."

After saying that, the spider-man gave the ghost girl a meaningful look, and she nodded in acknowledgment before continuing to type on the keyboard in front of the computer.

A moment later, accompanied by a slight vibration, a robot about half a meter tall, shaped like a rabbit, walked over carrying a plate.

On the plate was a black pistol and some bullets with runes engraved on their surfaces.

Xiao He's gaze immediately fell on the gun, and his expression suddenly became very complicated.

Originally, after hearing the Spider-Man speak so earnestly, he already thought that the other party would definitely not agree to his request, but to his surprise, the other party actually agreed.

"Unfortunately, all they gave us was a pistol."

Xiao He was secretly disappointed. Although he didn't necessarily need a gun, since they had already given him one, why couldn't they have given him a submachine gun or a rifle? But having one was better than having none.

The reason he wanted a gun was simply to satisfy his longing as an old boy. Although he had a gun before, this one was legal!

At this moment, the Spider-Man looked at Xiao He, who was fiddling with a pistol, and asked with a somewhat serious expression, "By the way, I'll ask one last time, do you have any other requests?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao He was stunned again, and then an unknown light began to emanate from his eyes.

"or......"

However, the Spider-Man seemed to have seen through Xiao He's thoughts and immediately explained, "Don't misunderstand. If you have other demands, you can still return the gun and bullets now and make a different request."

Upon hearing this, the light in Xiao He's eyes dimmed instantly.

He shook his head: "No more."

In truth, Xiao He knew very well that the gun and bullets he wanted were indeed, just as the Spider-Man had said, completely useless to him.

After all, the only things that would truly be useful to him were strange objects or supernatural phenomena, but he also knew very well that the Spider-Man would not give him these things.

After hearing Xiao He's reply, the spider-man did not respond. Instead, he focused his gaze on Xiao He, looking him up and down, and finally fixed his gaze on Xiao He's right arm.

Actually, Spider-Man didn't ask some questions too directly, since there were regulations in place. However, since the other party only made such a simple request, he certainly wouldn't want to cause trouble for himself.

After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "In that case, you can go and rest now."

Spider-Man pointed to the stairs behind him: "Your room is at the end of the corridor on the second floor. You don't need a key; there's facial recognition at the door, so you can go straight in."

Xiao He glanced at the dark corridor not far away, then turned to look at the ghost girl who was secretly observing him, before finally fixing his gaze on the spider man.

Actually, he still had some questions he wanted to ask the other person, but when he opened his mouth, seeing the spider man's eyes that seemed to want him to leave, he wisely shut his mouth and went upstairs to find his room.

"I don't know if we can change rooms if we don't like it."

As Xiao He was going upstairs, this thought suddenly popped into his mind. Actually, if he could, he would prefer an independent residence like the flower shop Xu Yuan used to live in. After all, living alone is quite comfortable. But the most important thing is... he doesn't like the feeling of being monitored, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

the other side.

After watching Xiao He go upstairs, the Spider Man and the Ghost Woman began to talk.

"Hasn't the boss come back yet?"

"not yet."

The ghost girl shook her head and said, "The boss said this matter is a bit tricky, and it might take more than a week for him to come back."

Spider-Man sighed inwardly: "I feel like the waters of Binhai are very deep, and the waves are huge. I always feel uneasy when the boss isn't around."

Upon hearing this, the ghost girl fell silent.

After learning about the mysterious fog that had occurred in Binhai City, she had the same feeling.

After all, the fact that a small coastal area could involve two cultists suggests that there must be some secrets hidden there that they are unaware of.

"By the way, what do you think of this Xu Yuan?"

"The ghost girl asked."

"It's a problem."

The spider-man said solemnly, "After interacting with him, I discovered that this Xu Yuan is completely different from the person described in the files. Although some people undergo drastic personality changes after fusing with the supernatural to gain power, but..."

The spider-man paused, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "He doesn't just seem like a simple personality change; he's like a completely different person."

"However, these facts alone cannot prove anything. After all, we cannot truly understand a person through recorded information, and his current mental state is relatively stable, so we can at least be sure that he will not become one of those people for the time being."

"But my gut feeling tells me he'll be a problem, after all, he's a criminal."

The ghost girl nodded inwardly. What the spider man said was basically the same as what she thought, but there was one point she didn't quite agree with.

"Although he made mistakes and did wrong things, as long as he is willing to sincerely repent and atone for his sins, he is one of us, the Night Demon Division. So please stop treating him like a criminal."

The ghost girl always believed that people are inherently good.

When a person is born, they are like a blank sheet of paper, pure and innocent, with a clean heart. However, the moment they come into contact with the world, an invisible drop of ink is dropped on them.

People like Xiao He who made mistakes did so simply because of various reasons, such as experiencing terrible things or encountering terrible people, that they ended up the way they are now.

But Spider-Man believes that the human heart is inherently evil. A kind heart is not necessarily evil, but an evil heart is definitely evil. It is easy for a good person to turn bad, but it is extremely difficult for a bad person to turn good.

The ghost girl pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, sometimes all these people lack is an opportunity to be reformed."

"You always like to give these people opportunities, but you need to know that not everyone will cherish those opportunities," the Spider-Man said earnestly.

The ghost woman didn't speak immediately, but looked at the spider man with the same serious expression: "It's okay, anyway, they won't have a second chance."

The ghost girl isn't a stubborn person; she just gives those who make mistakes a chance to correct them. But that doesn't mean she'll give them chances indefinitely. If someone continues to do wrong things and then stubbornly persists, she will naturally take action.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, this principle of yours will definitely get you killed."

The spider-man shook his head, ceasing the discussion with the ghost girl, and instead steered the conversation back to Xu Yuan, also known as Xiao He.

"Does your file contain any information about someone with similar abilities?" the Spider-Man asked.

The ghostly girl glanced at him, pointed a finger at the ceiling, and whispered a reminder: "You forgot? There are strict rules above that prohibit us from finding out which ghost has been integrated into the folk ghost-controlling practitioners."

The alliance stipulates that civilian ghost hunters like Xiao He, even those who have committed crimes, are absolutely forbidden from inquiring about which ghost they have fused with. Even the Ghost Night Division's system can only record their abilities. Unless they voluntarily reveal them, any Ghost Night Division ghost hunter who inquires or entices them will be severely punished.

The reason for doing this was to keep the hearts of those who were adept at suppressing evil spirits in the common people.

Because in this era teeming with strange occurrences, once others find out which strange entity you have fused with, they will naturally have a way to discover that strange entity's abilities and... weaknesses.

The world is so big, and there are so many strange things. There will always be one or two strange abilities that counteract each other.

However, the Spider-Man and the Ghost Woman have worked together for so many years that they are already close comrades-in-arms. Therefore, they not only know each other's specific abilities and some hidden abilities, but also understand the strangeness of each other's fusion.

"I just find it a little strange."

The spider-man shook his head: "I've looked at Xu Yuan's information. I know he grew up in Binhai and has never left. But I've also looked at the information on the strange creatures in Binhai City and found that none of them have abilities similar to his."

The ghost girl shook her head: "Maybe it's just not recorded in the data. There are so many strange things, even intelligence personnel might overlook them sometimes."

Spider-Man frowned in thought.

That seems to make sense, but he always felt that something was off.

......

early morning.

As the first rays of sunlight shone through a half-open window onto Xiao Heshi, who was fast asleep in bed, a series of urgent knocks suddenly sounded at the door.

The moment the knocking sounded, Xiao He, who was lying on the bed, immediately opened his bright, piercing eyes.

Although he is now at the Night Demon Division branch in Binhai City, and has become a Night Demon Master himself, his experience in this world tells him that even in a place he thinks is safe, he cannot completely let his guard down.

Thinking of this, Xiao He prepared to ask the spider-man outside the door what he wanted to see him about.

As for how he knew the person looking for him was the Spider Man, it was because when he looked down, he saw several unknown numbers displayed on the black bracelet on his left wrist.

Sure enough, the next second, Spider Man's slightly dissatisfied voice came from outside the door.

"Something strange has appeared in the city. Meet downstairs in ten minutes."
