Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

"The Hanged Ghost?"

The spider-man was stunned.

He was aware of the strangeness of the hanging ghost.

As one of the twelve common types of supernatural beings, the Hanging Ghost possesses only two abilities: intangibility and illusion, as well as a tongue with strength comparable to steel.

To ordinary people, the Hanging Ghost with the above abilities is equivalent to the vengeful ghosts and evil spirits in ancient mythology. However, among the many strange creatures, the Hanging Ghost's abilities seem quite ordinary.

However, to Spider-Man's surprise, this seemingly ordinary hanging monster suddenly appeared in the restricted area without warning.

"Could it be a test error?"

The spider-man was silent for a moment, then guessed, "Perhaps this is just a special kind of anomaly with energy fluctuations extremely similar to those of the Hanged Ghost?"

The Alliance determines the type of anomalies based on the energy fluctuations they emit. Any anomaly recorded in the Alliance's anomaly archives can be identified using specialized equipment.

Of course, if the energy fluctuations of some strange beings are extremely similar or identical, then the detection machine may make a certain probability of making a mistake. After all, nothing is perfect and no one is flawless; machines can sometimes err.

"impossible."

However, the ghost's heavy voice came through the communicator.

"The computer shows that the strange energy fluctuations match the Hanged Ghost perfectly; it's definitely the Hanged Ghost."

The ghost's words silenced the spider-man once again.

Now that we can be 100% certain that the strange creature that appeared nearby is a hanging ghost, we need to start considering why it suddenly appeared and how it broke through the outer blockade to get here.

"Could this hanged monster have also been attracted by the energy fluctuations emitted by the device?"

Hearing the Spider-Man's analysis, Ghost immediately said, "That possibility can't be ruled out, but..."

The ghost's voice paused for a moment on the communicator before continuing, "Our main focus should be on how this hanged ghost got in."

To ensure the success of tonight's plan, they specially cordoned off the abandoned factory. In addition to prohibiting outsiders from entering, they also used the Night Demon Division's special weapons to set up an energy blockade zone around the perimeter. This would effectively keep out ordinary ghosts that might be attracted, allowing only special ghosts like the Knocking Ghost to enter.

This is also one of the ways the Night Demon Division deals with special and bizarre situations.

This is why both Spider-Man and Ghost were somewhat puzzled.

How did such a common supernatural phenomenon as the Hanging Ghost get in?

Spider-Man thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "No matter what, our primary objective is that knocking ghost. As long as we successfully trap it, tonight's mission will be complete."

"As for that hanged ghost..."

Spider-Man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Leave it to me."

He hesitated because he wasn't sure if the strange creature that had suddenly appeared was really just an ordinary first-tier hanging monster.

However, as long as he can deal with the knocking ghost first, even if the hanging ghost has some special abilities, he is confident that he can escape unscathed.

But for some reason, the spider-man felt a vague unease.

Actually, ever since that hanged ghost appeared, a thought, a bad thought, popped into his mind.

After a moment of contemplation, the Spider-Man decided to voice this potentially absurd idea.

"Do you think the appearance of this hanged ghost could be related to that knocking ghost?"

The next second, Ghost's slightly heavy voice came through the communicator, and her reply was...

"Your guess is the same as mine."

Upon hearing this, Spider-Man took a deep breath, his unease growing stronger.

Generally speaking, apart from some symbiotic anomalies, there is no relationship between anomalies.

Because the supernatural is different from humans, it doesn't need social interaction and doesn't get married or have children.

Through the Alliance's current investigation and experiments, they have discovered that the supernatural entity only acts unconsciously according to instinct or some kind of pattern.

However, there is one exception: interference from external forces.

This means that the appearance of this hanged ghost was likely orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.

In this world, besides the Alliance, the only thing that can command the Strange is...

"Cultists of the Deceitful Cult!"

As the ghost spoke, his voice suddenly faltered for a moment: "What I find strange is that after that hanged ghost appeared, it just stood there motionless, its position never changing."

This is also why Spider-Man and Ghost have been discussing for so long without taking any action.

To paraphrase an old saying, it's "If the enemy doesn't move, I don't move."

Of course, even so, Spider-Man wouldn't just foolishly wait for the other side to make the first move. As soon as he discovered the hanging ghost, he secretly instructed the two armed patrol members who were waiting in the underground passage to temporarily put down their tasks, pick up their weapons, and go and investigate the hanging ghost.

In any case, judging from the current situation, the original plan has changed, and that person... probably won't be able to come out anytime soon.

"I think..."

Spider-Man replied in a deep voice, but before he could finish speaking, the red dot representing the Hanging Ghost on the screen flashed and then moved at an extremely fast speed toward the red dot representing the Knocking Ghost.

Seeing this, the Spider-Man immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

The worst-case scenario has come true!

However, Spider-Man showed no sign of panic. Instead, he calmly and swiftly issued a series of orders: "All logistics team members, immediately grab your special weapons and tracking equipment and head to the target location. Form pairs and surround the target from different directions."

"Once the target is free, don't try to stop them, just follow behind."

"Ghost, if anything happens next, you'll be in charge."

After giving instructions, Spider-Man quickly walked to the window and looked at the small building not far away that imprisoned the knocking ghost. Although there was some distance between them, he could already sense that a strange aura was rapidly approaching the building.

"Leave that hanged ghost to me."

A strange black light flashed in the Spider-Man's eyes.

The next second, his palm suddenly split open, and a sticky spider silk shot out from it, quickly hanging between the windowsills upstairs, like a giant spider web.

Then, Spider-Man strode to the windowsill, gripped the spider silk in his hand, and fearlessly leaped off the windowsill. His body plummeted rapidly through the air, and the surrounding scenery blurred like a fast-moving movie.

His bizarre ability not only allowed him to shoot spider silk like a spider, but also gave his body unparalleled agility and lightness. Before long, he landed steadily on the ground in the manner of an ape swinging on a vine.

After landing, Spider-Man glanced in the direction of the Hanged Ghost and then ran off at an extremely fast speed.

Meanwhile, under Spider-Man's orders, the entire logistics team immediately sprang into action.

......

late at night.

A silent, abandoned factory area was shrouded in darkness, with faint moonlight filtering through sparse clouds and casting an eerie atmosphere over the desolate place.

In a corner of this abandoned factory area, a phantom figure moved swiftly.

This was a woman dressed in white, her long, flowing hair obscuring most of her pale face, and a pair of dead fish eyes hidden beneath her hair gleaming with a scarlet light.

Before long, the woman in white arrived in front of a small building located on a deserted vacant lot.

On the surface, the small building has no doors or windows, resembling a closed cage.

The woman in white stared at the small building. Suddenly, she stuck out a long, blood-red tongue and slammed it against the wall in front of her.

This seemingly soft tongue, like hard steel, slammed into the wall with unstoppable force and terrifying power.

boom!

With a loud bang, countless tiny pebbles flew everywhere, and the seemingly solid and thick wall instantly collapsed, revealing a large hole. A chilling aura emanated from the hole, as if it were the entrance to another terrifying world, sending shivers down one's spine.

After doing all this, the woman in white immediately turned around and left without hesitation, as if something terrifying would rush out of the cave at any moment.

Damn it.

The Spider-Man, who arrived a step too late, looked at the large hole that had been torn open in the wall by the Hanging Ghost, and his face instantly darkened.

Although the hanged ghost was weaker than him, the distance between the other party and the small building was shorter, and the other party was also fast. So even though he had tried his best to get there, he was still a step too late.

However, at this moment, his guess was confirmed.

The purpose of the hanged ghost, or rather, the purpose of the cultist who was driving it from behind the scenes, was to sabotage the Night Demon's plan and prevent them from successfully imprisoning the knocking ghost.

Moreover, the other party may have their eye on this knocking ghost and want to possess it, since the knocking ghost is a special kind of ghost.

at the same time.

A chilling aura suddenly emanated from the cave. The next second, a blurry, terrifying figure burst out, like a wild beast regaining its freedom, rushing towards the abandoned building and disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

The ghost who knocked on the door ran away!

Spider-Man knew that once the knocking ghost escaped, even if he caught up with it, he wouldn't be able to deal with it.

Thinking of this, he shifted his gaze and noticed the woman in white who was also fleeing.

He knew that only by capturing the hanged ghost could he possibly salvage some of the losses from tonight's failed plan, and perhaps even uncover the cultist who had sabotaged their plans from the hanged ghost.

"You can't escape."

Spider-Man looked in the direction the hanged ghost had fled and muttered to himself in a low voice.

If he can't handle the knocking ghost, surely he can handle a first-tier hanging ghost?

Thinking of this, he bent his knees, leaped up, and like a jumping spider, chased after the direction in which the hanged ghost had fled.

Inside the abandoned factory area, a gloomy atmosphere permeated the air, sending chills down one's spine.

Spider-Man moved nimbly through different abandoned buildings. With his strange abilities, he could crawl quickly on the dilapidated walls like a spider, moving and jumping almost without making a sound.

At this moment, the hanged ghost seemed to have also noticed the spider man's pursuit. It increased its speed of escape and used its illusionary abilities to create illusions to confuse the spider man's five senses in an attempt to shake him off.

"Low-level illusions have no effect on me."

Spider-Man weaves through the gaps in the abandoned buildings, choosing his path precisely. Each step is steady and accurate, just like a living spider walking alone in the ruins.

At the same time, he quickly waved the spider silk in his hand, weaving a huge spider web in the surrounding area. Under the dim moonlight, the gray silk threads shimmered in the darkness, as sharp as sword blades.

It was through the senses of the spider web that he was able to so accurately avoid the illusionary traps created by the Death Witch.

However, the Hanging Ghost was unaware of this situation, so it continued to use its illusionary abilities to create one illusion after another in an attempt to hinder its opponent.

Just as the Hanged Ghost created another illusion and prepared to turn and flee again, the Spider Man appeared in front of it.

The difference in strength between the two meant that the Hanged Ghost could not escape the Spider Man's grasp.

Seeing the Spider-Man appear before it, the Hanging Ghost let out a terrifying howl. Then, it used its only remaining attack method, trying to fight the Spider-Man with its meager strength. However, when faced with the flying blood-red tongue, the Spider-Man's figure only swayed slightly, dodging it as nimbly as a spider. Then, it also launched an attack on the Hanging Ghost.

He spread his hands, and a dark blue spider silk flew out from each palm, wrapping around the hanged ghost like threads. With a gentle pull, in the blink of an eye, the tough spider silk tightly bound the hanged ghost, and no matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free.

The spider-man's eyes gleamed with a black light as he watched the struggling hanged ghost. He then smoothly controlled the spider silk, making more and more silk wrap around the hanged ghost's body, becoming tighter and tighter, until finally the hanged ghost was completely wrapped in the silk into a "zongzi" (rice dumpling).

He likes to wrap his prey tightly in spider silk before delivering a fatal blow.

However, this hanging ghost was still somewhat useful for the time being, so after trapping it with spider silk, he didn't make any further moves.

After successfully capturing the Hanging Ghost, the Spider Man didn't waste any time. He turned around and went back with the "zongzi" in his arms. However, before dealing with the Hanging Ghost, there was someone else he needed to deal with.

Soon, he returned to the vicinity of the small building where the knocking ghost was supposed to be imprisoned, and there, a seemingly harmless man was leaning against a wall with a large hole in it and on the verge of collapse.

Xiao He looked at the spider man who was slowly walking towards him, and his gaze was instantly drawn to the "zongzi" carried on the other man's shoulder. A look of "surprise" appeared on his face.

"Why is there a mummy here?!"
