Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

Chapter 38 Investigation

Ten minutes later.

When Xiao He came downstairs, he found that the so-called temporary branch of the Binhai City Ghost Night Division still only had the Spider Man and the Ghost Girl.

It seems there are only three people in the entire building, including him.

This shows that the Alliance's Masters of Deception are truly rare, which explains why they would recruit a criminal like themselves.

Seeing Xiao He arrive late, the Spider-Man calmly said, "Let's go."

Although it was only two words, Xiao He could clearly sense a hint of indifference in the other person's tone.

"I didn't provoke him," Xiao He muttered to himself. This spider-man seemed to have a problem with him.

However, Xiao He thought about it and realized that he was currently being treated as a "criminal," so it was no wonder that the other party would treat him this way.

When Xiao He and Spider Man walked out the door, there were already three black SUVs parked on the open ground outside. The thick metal skid plates on the front of the vehicles and the sharp headlights gave them the feel of steel beasts.

In front of the off-road vehicle, six fully armed personnel had been waiting for some time.

"Reporting to the commander, Zheng Hao from the Night Demon Division and Wang Yao have been ordered to take charge of the logistics for this operation."

Among these six people, the two leaders were none other than Zheng Hao and Wang Yao, former members of the Binhai City Special Operations Team.

At this moment, both of them were filled with excitement.

In Zheng Hao's view, being recruited into the Night Demon Division was an incredibly auspicious event. Not only were his benefits and treatment improved by several levels, but most importantly, his safety level had also increased significantly as he became a logistics team member. After all, the Night Demons were now the main force in dealing with the supernatural.

Wang Yao, however, thought differently. She had always wanted to become a Ghost Master and master the power of the supernatural. In her view, although she had only joined the logistics department of the Ghost Night Division, being able to come into contact with the Ghost Masters of the Ghost Night Division meant that her chances of becoming a Ghost Master would be greatly increased.

However, apart from Zheng Hao and Wang Yao, who were former members of the special operations team, the other four were just ordinary armed patrol members. Even though they were elites in the patrol team, they were relatively ordinary compared to the special operations team and the Night Demons.

Spider-Man looked at the personnel in charge of logistics for this operation and nodded calmly. Then, he walked straight to a jeep parked in the middle, opened the back door and got in. He then beckoned Xiao He to sit in the same car with him and asked him to sit in the passenger seat.

Xiao He didn't think much of it and simply opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. However, he noticed through the rearview mirror that the Spider-Man sitting in the back was intentionally or unintentionally looking at him.

"They're still wary of me."

Xiao He was speechless. Even though he had already signed the parchment, he still couldn't avoid being treated like a thief.

At this moment, Zheng Hao opened the driver's side door and got in. Although he tried his best to control his excited expression, Xiao He, who was sitting next to him, still noticed it.

However, Xiao He certainly wouldn't have imagined that he and this teammate named Zheng Hao had already had an unseen connection before.

With Spider-Man and Xiao He, the two main members of the Night Demon Division, boarding the vehicle, the rest of the team immediately returned to their positions.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by the roar of car engines, three black jeeps drove off one after another, speeding towards the mission location.

Some time later, at the foot of an apartment building surrounded by police tape.

"This is our investigation report."

The patrol captain who was originally in charge of the case handed Zheng Hao a paper document and a USB drive.

This report is a summary of their investigation into the case, including the deceased's identity information, social background, some collected physical evidence, and preliminary cause of death. The USB drive contains the eerie video recording the entire process of the deceased's death.

After the case handover was officially completed, the patrol captain glanced out of the corner of his eye at the four armed patrol members who stood firmly in place like pillars, his eyes revealing a deep sense of surprise.

With his keen eye and rich experience, he could tell at a glance that these four fully armed patrolmen were definitely elites who had undergone intensive training, and were not on the same level as the patrolmen under his command.

"Sigh, I wonder when those little brats will be able to develop such skills."

Thinking of this, an unknown flame suddenly ignited in the heart of the patrol captain who had spent most of his life struggling at the bottom. He made up his mind that he would definitely reorganize the patrolmen under his command when he returned this time.

After clearing his mind, the patrol captain led his men away from the apartment building and headed to a nearby residential building to prepare for any possible situation.

After receiving the investigation report for the case, Zheng Hao signaled Wang Yao and the remaining four armed patrol members to wait downstairs. Then, he hurriedly went upstairs with the report.

At the same time, Spider-Man and Xiao He also arrived at the floor where the deceased was in the elevator. However, before they could even get close to the deceased's room, a putrid smell instantly hit them.

Soon, the two people who arrived at the door of the deceased were also immediately attracted by the rotting, smelly corpse on the ground, which had already attracted mosquitoes and flies.

"It's only been dead for one night and it's already decomposed into this grotesque state?"

Xiao He was somewhat surprised.

While in the car, the Spider-Man was constantly on guard against Xiao He, but he still gave Xiao He a general overview of the mission.

Just last night, a woman was mysteriously murdered.

However, to Xiao He's surprise, when these words came out of the Spider Man's mouth, he wondered if it was just his imagination, but it seemed that the Spider Man was more concerned about the strange thing that killed the woman than the dead woman.

It seems that in the Spider Man's eyes, the woman's death was a good thing, because it allowed them to discover a strange person.

"The deceased's body contained strange energy, and some of this strange energy can cause the body to decompose rapidly, or even cause some kind of mutation."

The spider-man walking in front of Xiao He explained, then suddenly turned around and solemnly instructed Xiao He: "This is your first mission since joining the Night Demon Division, but considering your lack of experience, I will be in charge of this investigation."

Hearing the Spider-Man's words, Xiao He silently thought to himself, "Even if this isn't my first time participating in a mission, it's probably not my place to lead the investigation."

Thinking of this, Xiao He glanced at the spider-man and then nodded seriously.

Anyway, he wasn't really interested in the investigation itself. What interested him was what kind of abilities the strange creature he was investigating possessed, since that was related to whether or not he should take action and snatch the strange creature from the tiger's mouth, Guiyesi.

After reminding Xiao He not to wander around, the Spider-Man began to adjust his state in order to better carry out the investigation. After all, he dared not be careless in the slightest when facing a strange creature whose strength and abilities were unknown.

At this moment, the Spider Man slowly walked to the unrecognizable corpse, then stretched out his left hand and placed it above the corpse. His gaze then became empty and deep, and the next second, a strange black light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the Spider Man's left hand began to tremble slightly, and suddenly, a cut appeared on his palm, forming a bloody wound and a bright red hole.

The next second, a black spider crawled out of the blood hole in the Spider Man's palm. Its body was like a black crystal, crystal clear, with long and flexible legs.

"So it really is a strange ability related to spiders?"

At this moment, Xiao He, who was secretly observing the scene, secretly made a guess.

Is the man codenamed "Spider" capable of summoning spiders, or is the strange entity residing within him the black spider that appeared?

"If that's the case, could the abilities of that Ghost Master, codenamed 'Ghost,' be related to ghosts?" Xiao He's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

Just as he was speculating, the black spider shot out an invisible strand of silk from its tail. It then crawled along the silk toward the corpse on the ground. When it landed on the corpse, the black spider quickly spread out eight tentacles on the body, weaving them together with the silk from its tail to form a sinister web, creating a bizarre pattern on the corpse.

The Spider-Man silently observed the black spider weaving its web on the corpse. When he saw the pattern it had created, an expression of disbelief gradually appeared on his face.

Just as the black spider rounded the corpse's mouth and was about to reach its ear, it suddenly stopped, curled up, and its bright red eyes flashed with a wild fear.

Upon seeing this, a hint of apprehension flashed in the Spider-Man's eyes.

Just then, Zheng Hao, carrying the investigation report and a USB drive, also arrived.

"Sir, this is the case investigation report and the video recording the victim's death."

Hearing Zheng Hao's voice behind him, the spider-man expressionlessly picked up the black spider and threw it back into the blood hole in his palm. After doing this, his palm healed again, leaving only a shallow bloodstain.

"Um."

Spider-Man bypassed Xiao He, who was closest to Zheng Hao, and took the investigation report and USB drive from him. After glancing at the report briefly, he plugged the USB drive, which contained the key to the case and recorded the victim's death, into the communicator on his wrist.

The communicator on Spider-Man's wrist was almost identical to the one on Xiao He's wrist, except that his was white while Xiao He's was black.

the other side.

Zheng Hao, who had handed over everything in his hands, glanced at the Spider Man watching the video with some surprise, and then secretly glanced at Xiao He, who was idly looking around.

He did not mean to disrespect the other party.

However, the Ghost Master who still doesn't even have a code name seems to be slacking off.

The reason Zheng Hao was unaware of Xiao He's specific identity was that only Ghost Masters like Spider Man were qualified to access the intelligence within the Ghost Night Division. As for logistics team members like Zheng Hao, even though they belonged to the Ghost Night Division, they were not qualified to check it.

Meanwhile, after conducting an on-site investigation and with the corroborating evidence of the video recordings in his possession, the Spider-Man was almost certain which supernatural being had killed the woman.

Thinking of this, the Spider-Man walked to the side, turned on his communicator, and dialed a contact number. A few seconds later, he spoke in a serious tone into the communicator, "After investigation and evidence collection, it can be basically confirmed that it is a knocking ghost."

"It really is... then things are getting a bit complicated!"

The ghost's voice came through the communicator.

Her tone was clearly surprised, after all, the knocking ghost was a rather troublesome creature, and to this day, the alliance had not found the most effective way to deal with it.

Because the knocking door ghost is not one of the twelve common ghosts, but is classified as one of the six special ghosts, it is a kind of ghost that cannot be killed.

Moreover, the way the Knocking Ghost kills is unpredictable. Although those who encounter the Knocking Ghost all heard a knocking sound before being killed, their deaths are all very strange.

Some people were strangled to death, some were scared to death, and some were drowned, etc.

The Alliance's bizarre archives only record what happens when you encounter a knocking ghost.

However, Ghost quickly calmed down and replied in a low voice, "That's the only option we can use."

Although the Alliance has yet to find the best solution for dealing with the Knocking Ghost, the Alliance's scholars, who are extremely fascinated by the supernatural, have developed several less-than-perfect solutions.

However, each of these plans has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some plans require a suitable location, some require a lot of money, and some require... lives.

"Given our current situation, that is the only suitable option."

Spider-Man listened to the voice coming from the communicator and fell silent.

However, he quickly agreed to the ghost's idea. After all, the first thing he thought of when he encountered the knocking ghost was that solution. So he explained the implementation process of the solution he had just come up with. After listening to it, the ghost girl seemed to fall silent as well, and no sound came from her communicator.

Just as Spider-Man was about to ask again, Ghost's calm and heavy voice suddenly rang out.

"I agree."

Spider-Man nodded, turned off the communicator, and went to Xiao He's side, who was poking at the spider webs on the corpse with his finger. He then explained the entire implementation process of the plan to Xiao He.

"what?"

Xiao He was stunned for a moment after hearing the Spider Man's explanation of the so-called plan's implementation process.

"Why me?"
