Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

Chapter 43 The Strange Method of Knocking on the Door to Kill

"As expected, sometimes it's necessary to install surveillance."

Xiao He looked around again. When he came in, he noticed that there were no security cameras in the room, which meant that Spider-Man could not see what was happening inside.

It was this discovery that led Xiao He to secretly devise a plan while waiting for the Ripper to arrive.

Just then, the ghost knocking on the door outside seemed to have discovered that the door was unlocked.

creak...

As the doorknob turned, the door was pushed open a crack, and it seemed as if a pair of indifferent eyes were peering into the room through the gap.

When the door opened, Jack the Ripper, who had been cursing Xiao He for several minutes, finally shut his mouth.

At that moment, Jack's heart began to race; he knew that what was coming was bound to happen.

The next second, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, and a sinister and eerie atmosphere gradually filled the air.

What puzzled Jack was why the thing outside the door hadn't come in yet.

"It seems... ordinary people can't see the existence of this knocking ghost."

In the corner, Xiao He glanced at Jack, who was staring warily at the door, his eyes thoughtful.

Inside the room, a tall, blurry figure was slowly walking toward Jack, who was positioned in the center of the room.

The blurry figure had no discernible face, exuded a sinister aura, and emitted a strange noise like grinding teeth with every step.

Despite the commotion, Jack the Ripper acted as if he hadn't noticed anything, still staring intently at the door. This was enough to show that the other party couldn't see or even sense the presence of the knocking ghost; otherwise, he wouldn't have been unaware of when the knocking ghost entered.

Upon realizing this, Xiao He was immediately quite surprised.

If he remembered correctly, those who died at the hands of the knocking ghost had all died in different ways, but they all had one thing in common: a deep sense of fear lingered in their eyes, which had lost their luster.

This is a fear that only manifests when one sees something terrifying, and he has some authority on this subject.

So he was a little puzzled. If ordinary people couldn't see the existence of the knocking ghost, then what did they see before they died that made them show such fear?

Meanwhile, fear and despair filled Jack's heart.

Gradually, the lights in the room seemed to dim, and the already dim and gloomy room became even darker and more silent, as if Jack was the only person left in the room.

Even though he tried his best to remain calm, his heartbeat was extremely noticeable in the quiet environment.

Suddenly, he heard a faint sound coming from behind him, like footsteps.

He swallowed hard, then mechanically and slowly turned his head.

The next second, a pale face and empty eyes came into view.

The moment Jack's eyes met those empty, dead-fish-like eyes, a series of past memories flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

Some memories that evoked fear and pain in him.

"Oh, no!"

The intense fear made him instinctively want to escape, but his feet seemed glued to the floor, unable to move.

The next moment, a pale finger gently touched Jack's forehead. The cold touch made him involuntarily scream, but his voice seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, and no one could hear it.

Then, the pale finger curled up slightly and gently tapped his forehead.

Boom!

......

"He's dead already?"

Xiao He looked at Jack the Ripper, who lay helplessly on the ground, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

In less than a minute, the other party had become a lifeless corpse.

What surprised him, however, was not the other person's death, but the way the door-knocking ghost killed him. He clearly saw that the door-knocking ghost simply walked to the other person's side, extended a finger and tapped his forehead, and then the person seemed to have seen something terrifying, his eyes widened and he stopped breathing, as if he had been scared to death.

"So... this is still a conceptual type of weirdo?"

Xiao He pondered to himself.

Does the forehead count as a door?

the other side.

After "killing" Jack the Ripper, the knocking seemed to lose its target and stood in circles.

The knocking ghost wasn't unaware of Xiao He; rather, it couldn't kill him at the moment.

Because its rule is: knock on a door, kill a person.

Unless a door suddenly appears out of thin air for it to knock on, it cannot attack Xiao He.

As for why the door-knocking ghost didn't leave after killing the person, it's naturally because... the door was welded shut.

The door is closed, where can we go?

Whenever the knocking ghost tries to leave the room, it is firmly bound by an invisible force, unable to move an inch, and can only circle in place.

At this moment, Xiao He quietly walked to the side of the knocking ghost, a faint smile on his face, his eyes revealing great interest in the knocking ghost.

He muttered something under his breath, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"I wonder if this knocking ghost can be killed..."

......

outside.

Inside the abandoned building.

All the logistics team members stared intently at the screen in front of them, and even Spider-Man standing to the side had a solemn expression on his face.

Success or failure hinges on tonight.

"Beep beep..."

At that moment, the screen in front of everyone suddenly emitted a low beeping sound.

Zheng Hao looked at the information that popped up on the screen and said, "Reporting, sir, the criminal's vital signs have completely disappeared, and he can be confirmed dead."

Upon hearing these words, Spider-Man subconsciously took a deep breath.

He knew exactly what this meant: since the life-sentenced criminal who was used as a scapegoat was dead, it meant that they had successfully trapped the door-knocking ghost.

However, before Spider-Man could relax, a voice suddenly came from his walkie-talkie: "Sir, the officer inside the room hasn't come out yet."

Upon hearing this report, the Spider-Man's face instantly darkened.

According to the plan, Xiao He should have already withdrawn by now. Could something have happened?

"That shouldn't be the case. The Knocking Ghost should only kill one person per knock, how could that be..."

Just as Spider-Man was heavily speculating about all the possible changes, a beeping sound suddenly rang out again on the screen in front of everyone. However, this time the sound was particularly jarring. Not only that, but a new red dot, emitting a faint glow, appeared on the screen that had previously only had one red dot.

"Sir."

Zheng Hao's slightly anxious voice reached the Spider Man's ears: "A strange creature has appeared nearby, it... it appeared suddenly."

Upon hearing this, Spider-Man looked up at the screen and his eyes widened instantly.

How could a strange creature suddenly appear out of nowhere in their restricted area?

At the same time, Ghost's voice came through Spider-Man's communicator: "The computer shows that a Tier 1 monster has indeed appeared nearby."

"What?!"

The spider-man was stunned.

If a creature with only first-tier strength can silently appear within their blockade zone, just how terrifying must its bizarre ability be?

"Is there any information about this strange creature in the Alliance's bizarre files?" the Spider-Man asked in a heavy tone.

If there are strange records, that's fine; but if there are no records, then...

"Yes, the computer displays..."

Soon, the ghost's voice rang out again, but she hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"It's a hanged ghost."
