Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

outside.

Darkness enveloped the surroundings, creating a terrifying atmosphere.

After the two armed men who had escorted Jack the Ripper into the small building came out, they opened the trunk of the jeep, took out a black box, entered a password to unlock it, and took out something that looked like a signal transceiver.

This thing is silver-gray all over, and in addition to a long metal antenna, there are four metal pillars supporting the ring.

The two of them jogged along carrying the object to the back of the building, where an elevator had been waiting for some time.

Soon, the two of them carried the device to the roof of the small building and began to install it.

Shortly after, one of the armed men whispered a report into his communicator.

"Sir, the equipment has been installed. Shall we start it immediately?"

The next second, a voice came from the communicator.

"start up."

"Yes."

After putting away the communicator, the armed man exchanged a glance with his teammate and nodded slightly.

Upon seeing this, the armed personnel who were already prepared in front of the equipment immediately pressed the button in front of them.

hum!

As the button flashed, a faint buzzing sound followed, and the device in front of us was officially activated, with the ring on it beginning to emit a faint blue light.

Upon seeing this, the two armed men exchanged a glance, quickly packed their belongings, and hurriedly left in the elevator, knowing full well what was about to happen.

Meanwhile, in an abandoned building not far from here.

Spider-Man put away his communicator and glanced through his binoculars at the two armed patrolmen who had successfully escaped to a safe distance.

"How is the situation?"

He turned to Zheng Hao and Wang Yao, who were operating the equipment, and asked them.

"The connection has been successfully established, and the coverage area is now within a one-kilometer radius," Zheng Hao replied.

As the Spider-Man approached, he saw a satellite image of the entire abandoned factory area displayed on the screen. A red dot was flashing on the map, and ripples were spreading outwards from the dot.

"very good."

Spider-Man nodded seriously: "If the other party hasn't appeared in one minute, expand the coverage area to three kilometers."

"Understood," Zheng Hao nodded in reply.

After handing over the task, Spider-Man returned to his observation position and once again raised his binoculars to observe the situation around the house.

After a while, a ghost's voice suddenly came through his communicator.

"The surrounding area has been cordoned off. How's the situation on your end?"

The spider-man slowly replied, "The person has been delivered, the goods have been packed, and... well, everyone is in position. Now we're just waiting for the fish to take the bait."

"clear."

The ghost paused briefly, then continued, "You didn't turn that thing up to its maximum power, did you?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Spider-Man seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "No."

"That's good."

The thing on the rooftop is a device that can spread eerie energy over long distances.

Once Xiao He uses strange energy inside the building, the device that detects the energy fluctuations will spread it, thus attracting the knocking ghost that might be passing by nearby.

Some strange entities may be attracted to other strange entities when they sense energy fluctuations emanating from them nearby.

The principle is similar to how a person who has left their hometown will subconsciously turn their head to look when they suddenly hear a familiar phrase from their hometown in a foreign place.

Based on an analysis of the locations of the previous cases, Spider Man deduced that the knocking monster had simply happened to be passing by the coast, rather than intending to roam the area.

This abandoned factory was, according to Spider-Man's analysis, the most suitable site for implementing a plan near the area where the knocking ghost was most likely to pass.

The solution to deal with the knocking ghost was to imprison it in that two-story building.

The small building has two floors, with two rooms and four staircases.

One scholar from the alliance proposed that since the "Knocking Ghost" always knocks on the victim's door before each murder, could we hypothesize that if there were no door, the Knocking Ghost would be unable to commit murder?

After countless trials, this hypothesis was successfully verified.

Initially, the Alliance scholar's plan was to build a closed room with only one door, then place bait inside to lure the knocking ghost. After that, the door would be welded shut or bricked up to turn it into a wall, making the room the best prison for the knocking ghost.

The plan was successful at first, but it failed later.

On the seventh day of imprisoning the Door-Knocking Monster, its energy suddenly erupted, as if it were enraged. It knocked a large door in the wall and went out.

Later, the alliance scholar's research found that the decision to weld the gate shut was correct, but also wrong.

He discovered that once the "Knocking Ghost" started committing murder by knocking on doors, it would take seven consecutive days of knocking on doors for it to calm down.

It seems that for the knocking ghost, seven days is a cycle. As for when the next knocking will occur after this cycle, it is unknown. Perhaps it will be ten days, half a month, or even several years later.

Finally, this scholar from the alliance learned from his mistakes and, based on a theory previously proposed by a highly respected scholar from the alliance, devised a final plan.

That is to build a two-story building, with one room on each floor, and four staircases connecting the two rooms to form a closed loop.

In this way, once the knocking ghost enters, the door can be welded shut, and the knocking ghost will continue to knock on the doors of the two rooms inside, thus permanently imprisoning the ghost.

However, this plan not only requires a master of ghosts to risk their own strange energy to lure the knocking ghost over, but also requires a scapegoat to allow the master of ghosts to escape unscathed.

Although this plan is not perfect and some uncontrollable problems may still arise later, it is the best solution for the league's current situation.

"Beep beep..."

The sudden alarm sound brought Spider-Man back to his senses. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately walked over to Zheng Hao, whose expression had also changed.

He looked up and saw a faintly glowing red dot rapidly approaching Zheng Hao's screen.

"Reporting, sir, the current coverage area is a radius of three kilometers. The instrument detects a strange creature heading this way." Although the spider-man had already arrived beside him, Zheng Hao still reported the current situation.

Spider-Man nodded gravely: "Okay, first reduce the coverage area to one kilometer, and then turn off the equipment after confirming the target's identity."

"clear."

Spider-Man nodded and stood beside Zheng Hao, his gaze fixed on the red dot on the screen, which was getting closer and brighter.

Time ticked by, and the tense atmosphere gradually spread across the four tables. Just as the two red dots on the screen were about to overlap, Ghost's voice came through Spider-Man's communicator. She said anxiously, "The computer shows a 98% match rate for the strange energy fluctuation. It's the Knocking Ghost."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two red dots on the screen immediately overlapped.

Seeing this, Spider-Man immediately shouted, "Action!"

The next second, near the small building.

Two armed men who had previously left reappeared, carrying welding guns and other tools. They quickly ran to the gate and skillfully welded it shut in a very short time.

At the same moment the door was welded shut, a knock came from behind Jack, and Xiao He, realizing this, was immediately alarmed.

"They're here."
