Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

"Where do you think the information recorded in the Alliance's bizarre files came from?"

The Spider-Man's tone was unusually heavy: "Behind every bizarre piece of information lies the sacrifice of countless lives."

When dealing with unfamiliar and bizarre entities, it often takes a bloody price to figure out their abilities.

The blood of our predecessors was shed so that future generations might bleed less when faced with the strange and unseen.

Upon hearing these words, Xiao He fell silent.

He naturally held in high esteem those who sacrificed themselves for the happiness of future generations in those bizarre events.

However, he was unwilling to risk his life to find out what abilities that strange creature possessed.

After all, he joined the Night Demon Division not for the sake of the Alliance's people, but for his own sake.

Xiao He always felt that he was a selfish person and that he was not that great.

However, he cannot back down from this mission.

Because he now knows what the parchment the Spider Man made him sign when he joined the Night Demon Division was.

It was a contract, a contract that was extremely unequal for Xiao He.

If Xiao He refuses to carry out the task assigned to him by Gui Ye Si, then the Spider Man will have the power to use the parchment contract.

Give him some mandatory tasks.

Therefore, Xiao He cannot avoid today's task.

Although he had a way to break the contract on the parchment, the price he would have to pay was considerable.

Then, the Spider-Man's voice came again.

"If the ghost confirms in ten minutes that there is really no information about this monster in the Alliance's bizarre files, then we'll go in."

Xiao He's lips twitched slightly, but he still nodded with a hint of helplessness.

He thought to himself, if the Alliance's bizarre files really contained information about that strange creature, they wouldn't still be without a plan.

Spider-Man glanced at Xiao He, seemingly able to read his mind.

He sighed softly.

When he received the mission from the ghost, after reviewing the mission information, he understood why the ghost had told him there was bad news.

This mission was indeed bad news for him.

Putting aside the fact that the Alliance's bizarre files do not contain any information similar to this bizarre case, the sheer scope of the impact of this case is already giving him a major headache.

Although this toy factory, named Tongxin Paradise, is not very large, it still has at least a hundred workers.

It is no exaggeration to say that if all one hundred-plus workers had died at the hands of that strange creature, then the Night Demon Division of Binhai City would have been seriously derelict in its duties.

Actually, this wasn't a big deal for Spider-Man; it was just a matter of taking away some things he really needed. What truly concerned him were the more than one hundred living beings.

The confiscated items can be recovered later, but the lives of those workers will be lost.

However, what made Spider-Man's mood somewhat heavy was that, before the strange phenomenon could be resolved, dozens of workers had already met with misfortune.

Tonight alone, he saw through his binoculars that at least seven or eight bodies had been dismembered by those dolls.

Time slipped away quietly in the somber atmosphere.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

At that moment, Ghost's voice also came through Spider-Man's communicator, though her voice sounded somewhat heavy.

"Bad news."

The spider-man paused slightly, then said, "I can tell."

Although he had prepared for the worst, the outcome still stirred a ripple in his heart when it came from the ghost's mouth.

As the saying goes, human fear often stems from the unknown, and the strangeness of unknown abilities only intensifies the fear.

Because Spider-Man's communicator was in speakerphone mode, Xiao He also heard the words "bad news".

He thought to himself.

If you stand by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

Perhaps this time, not only will he fail to take advantage of the chaos and seize the opportunity, but he might also drown in the muddy waters or choke to death on the food.

"Perhaps this time, we'll have to use our trump card."

Xiao He's heart sank slightly.

He was wondering if he should kill Spider-Man to silence him if Spider-Man saw his trump card.

At the same time, the ghost's voice rang out again.

"I have another message."

"I found a case related to this toy factory on the alliance's intranet, which may be helpful for this mission."

The spider-man's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, "What case?"

"The factory manager of this toy factory is named He Anfu. He is currently divorced and has a daughter. However, some time ago, He Anfu's ex-wife reported to the patrol team that He Anfu was preventing her from seeing her daughter."

Spider-Man frowned: "Shouldn't these kinds of domestic matters be handled by the patrol team? Why are you going to them?"

"Because He Anfu's ex-wife suspects that her daughter may... be missing."

"After receiving the report, the patrol team immediately went to the factory to find He Anfu. After repeated questioning, he finally told the truth."

"His daughter is indeed missing, and she disappeared inside the factory. After the patrol team conducted an on-site investigation and reviewed the surveillance footage, they found that it was indeed as He Anfu said. However, his ex-wife doesn't think so; she believes it must be..."

He Anfu deliberately hid his daughter, not wanting her to see her, and the matter was ultimately handled as a missing person case.

"Daughter? Missing?"

The spider-man paused for a moment, then asked, "You mean...?"

The ghost continued, "That's right, this strange case might be related to He Anfu's daughter, and He Anfu is also trapped inside the toy factory. Once you go in, you can focus on finding him; you might find some useful clues, provided he's still alive."

The spider-man listened attentively and nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, he turned to look at Xiao He, who was listening intently to the side, and said, "Let's go."

Then, without waiting for Xiao He's response, the Spider-Man jumped off the building.

Under the moonlight, the Spider-Man once again shot out a strand of silk from his palm, which stuck with exceptional precision to the rooftop of another building. Then, he spun in the air and swung across, landing on the rooftop in no time.

At the edge of a building's rooftop, the same action was repeated the next second, swinging towards the factory at an extremely fast speed.

Xiao He glanced at the spider-man, who was several buildings away from him, then craned his neck to check the distance between the spider-man and the ground...

Without hesitation, he turned around, pushed open the rooftop door, and walked downstairs.

Just kidding, if there are stairs, why not take the rooftop? It'll be exhausting.

A few minutes later.

The Spider-Man, who had already reached the factory gate, turned his head slightly to look at Xiao He, who was slowly walking out of the darkness behind him, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "You're too slow."

Xiao He waved his hand helplessly: "I don't have your ability to be an aerial acrobat."

The spider-man gave Xiao He a deep look, but said nothing more.

Then, he slowly walked to the gate and squatted down on the ground.

Immediately afterward, to Xiao He's astonishment, his palms suddenly split open, and a group of black spiders the size of fingernails poured out.

After these black spiders emerged, they seemed to receive some kind of command and began to scatter rapidly into the factory, starting from the main gate.

Xiao He roughly counted them, and there were at least several hundred of these black spiders.

"Is his body inhabited by spiders?"

Xiao He thought to himself, although he had seen the Spider Man release spiders from his palm before, he did not expect that the other party could release so many spiders.

He wondered, could it be that this spider-man's body is actually a spider's nest?

Perhaps this is what they mean by being completely drained?

Just as Xiao He was thinking that the spiders the Spider Man released this time were different from the last time, all the black spiders that the Spider Man had released had disappeared without a trace.

After doing all this, Spider-Man stood up and silently watched the dolls still working hard in the factory.

They seemed completely unaware of Xiao He and the Spider Man's presence.

"The logistics team had already scouted the area beforehand. As long as you don't go inside the factory, even if you stand at the gate, those dolls won't pay any attention to you."

Spider-Man explained to Xiao He.

Xiao He nodded upon hearing this. He had initially thought that the other party was waiting for him at the door, but now it seemed that was not the case.

"When shall we go in?" Xiao He asked.

The spider-man replied with a single word, his expression blank.

"Wait a moment."

Hearing this, Xiao He could only wait at the gate as the other party had suggested.

He first looked up at the brightly lit factory, then turned to look at the pitch-black darkness behind him.

For some reason, he felt that the situation was reversed.

The lights that should have made people feel safe now represent danger and eeriness; the surrounding darkness is the safest place.

Time passed gradually, and soon, another few minutes had gone by.

"That's fine."

At this moment, the Spider Man's voice rang out in the silence. He turned to look at Xiao He and whispered, "Stay close to me once we're inside."

Xiao He nodded.

He guessed that the black spiders that Spider-Man had just released must have discovered some hidden passage.

However, to Xiao He's complete surprise, the Spider Man walked right into the workshop full of dolls through the main gate.

When the two of them came into view of the group of dolls, the dolls that had been watching them since they stepped through the door stopped what they were doing and stared at them intently.

Suddenly, the entire workshop became unusually quiet.

Only some textile equipment remains in operation.

"So... this plan is really just like that... um!... straight through?"

Xiao He's heart sank slightly.

He originally thought that Spider-Man's earlier statement about barging in was just a joke, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually do it for real.

"Otherwise what?"

At this moment, the Spider-Man's expression remained completely unchanged.

"I just investigated. Although these dolls contain strange power, they are not strange in themselves. This should be related to the strange ability that appeared in the factory."

"However, my spider didn't find that weird creature in this workshop, so there's only one way to find it and figure out its abilities right now."

As he spoke, the Spider-Man assumed a fighting stance.

"That means fighting!"

Just then, the dolls began to gradually surround Xiao He and the spider man. Their eyes were filled with malice, and eerie, chilling voices emanated from their bodies, as if they harbored malevolent forces.

The demon.

Before long, the malice in the eyes of these dolls reached its peak. They looked at Xiao He and the Spider Man as if they were two lambs to the slaughter.

The next second, these dolls, which were almost as tall as adults, launched an attack on Xiao He and the Spider Man.

A teddy bear, wielding a huge toy hammer, charged towards the two of them. Its somewhat "cartoonish and cute" hammer made a heavy thud as it swung.

In the past, if someone had told Xiao He that a toy hammer could kill someone, he would have scoffed at it. But now, he had no doubt that if that hammer had landed on him, he would have been able to leave with a whole corpse.

At the same time, another toy wolf, holding a sharp curved knife in each hand, followed closely behind the toy bear. This toy wolf looked just like a husky, but it exuded a fierce aura like a real wolf.

Another toy cat dressed in knight armor, wielding a "magnificent" toy sword, galloped towards them. In addition to revealing full of malice in its eyes, it also showed an arrogant and confident expression.

Not far away, a maid-style doll rabbit, holding a carrot dagger, was hopping over.

Looking at the scene before him, Xiao He couldn't help but think of a movie.

Crazy Doll City!

"What a pity, these dolls would have suited me better if they were fruit instead."

Xiao He muttered to himself.

Then, he slowly raised his right hand, and as his flesh writhed, a flesh blade, gleaming with a sharp, cold light under the lamp, gradually took shape.

The moment Xiao He's flesh-and-blood blade appeared, the attacks from the dolls followed.

However, perhaps because of his good character, he wasn't the first target of those dolls' attack.

The teddy bear swung its hammer at the spider-man, but its clumsy movements were no match for the agile spider-man. He nimbly dodged the hammer the moment it fell, then his palm split open again, shooting out spider silk that wrapped around the teddy bear's feet. With a sudden pull, he slammed the teddy bear to the ground.

At the same time, Xiao He's character seemed to have suddenly vanished from the face of the earth.

Because he was being targeted by three dolls at the same time.

"Three against one? Have you no sportsmanship?"
