Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

Binhai City.

The Night Division Branch.

The crisp sound of keyboard typing echoed in the first-floor office.

However, as the scene shifted, it turned out that the person sitting in front of the computer was not the Ghost Knight, the Ghost Knight codenamed "Ghost," but Xiao He with a blank expression.

At this moment, he was browsing through the bizarre cases on the Night Demon Division's private intranet on his computer.

"How long will it take to find this?!"

Xiao He's eyes held a hint of helplessness.

He never imagined that the Night Demon Division, such a large alliance organization, would not have even a high-level artificial intelligence on its internal network. Even when he wanted to find some strange cases that met the criteria, he could only rely on some basic filtering functions.

Thinking of this, Xiao He couldn't help but think of the girl named Ghost. No wonder she spent almost all day sitting in front of the computer typing on the keyboard.

The reason Xiao He is in the office typing on his keyboard today is because of the incident last night when that ghost bus exploded...

Last night, after Spider-Man confirmed that the ghost bus was indeed related to a cult of cult members, he gave Xiao He a task: to review past cases of bizarre attacks and find those similar to the current one.

The reason Spider-Man gave Xiao He this task is supposedly to deduce the identity of this cultist through this method.

Because if this wasn't the first time the perpetrator had committed the crime, then there would definitely be relevant records on the Night Demon Division's internal network.

Just as fear often stems from the unknown, once they learn the identity of the cultist involved in this incident, they can better formulate relevant countermeasures, and perhaps even find out the cultist's hiding place or weaknesses.

However, Xiao He was somewhat puzzled at the time.

Why was he, a combatant, suddenly assigned to clerical work? Wasn't there that ghost specifically in charge of such tasks? And this was the Spider-Man's response.

"Ghost is not in Binhai City right now; she has taken a group of logistics team members out on a mission."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He finally understood why he hadn't seen the other party recently.

However, there was still one thing he couldn't understand at the time: why didn't Spider-Man do this himself, but instead let a newbie who had basically never done this kind of work handle it?

In response, the spider-man simply pointed to his thigh, where the bleeding had stopped, and then gave Xiao He a knowing look.

After all, Spider-Man is currently an "injured soldier." Although these injuries are nothing to him and he will be fine in a few days, no one would let an injured soldier continue working.

When Spider-Man saw that Xiao He had a look of sudden realization, he patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "This is a great opportunity for you to train."

Let's return to the present.

Recalling the look in the Spider-Man's eyes, Xiao He realized that this so-called training opportunity was probably just an excuse.

Xiao He thought to himself that the Spider Man probably didn't want to do the job either, so he pushed it onto him.

But there was nothing we could do; what could we do when the other party's argument sounded so reasonable?

Looking at the constantly changing images on the computer screen in front of him, Xiao He couldn't help but yawn.

"I never imagined that so many bizarre attacks since the emergence of these strange occurrences would be related to vehicles."

At this moment, Xiao He was browsing a strange file called "The Bus Tour Group".

The above account states that a group of tourists mysteriously disappeared after boarding a tour bus. A month later, their bodies were found at the bottom of a cliff. The wounds on the bodies looked exactly like those of people and the bus falling off the cliff. Some of the bodies not only had burn marks, but also had many shards of glass and metal pieces stuck in them.

Strangely, no wreckage of the tour bus was found nearby. It wasn't until a month later, after several similar bizarre incidents, that the local Night Watchers intervened.

However, when Xiao He read to the end, he realized that although the strange events of this tour bus were somewhat similar to the ghost bus he had encountered, they were completely different in essence.

Because the monster that appeared in the incident involving the tour bus was a real monster, while the ghost bus they encountered was just a creation of a monster.

After exiting the bizarre file page about the tour bus group, Xiao He continued to "immerse" himself in the sea of ​​troubles of searching for strange cases.

This bus tour group was already the hundredth or so bizarre case file he had found related to "mode of transportation".

"Um?"

At this moment, Xiao He's gaze was drawn to a strange file titled "Midnight Taxi".

He clicked on it and found that it contained information about a taxi that always appeared late at night, and that each time the taxi appeared, it would take away a person walking at night.

However, this taxi only appeared three times in total.

Because they couldn't find the three missing people, the local special operations team classified the incident as a bizarre event and submitted it to the Night Division's intranet.

Meanwhile, the computer screen displayed a photo of the taxi, which appeared to be taken by a surveillance camera at an intersection. Due to the late hour, the photo was rather blurry.

But Xiao He felt that the taxi in the photo looked familiar.

But he quickly remembered.

It was that ghost taxi that he ruined!

Although this taxi looks like an ordinary taxi, it is not the same car as the old, rusty ghost taxi at all. Even the driver is just an ordinary person with a stern face.

But when Xiao He took a closer look, he discovered that the taxi was the same model as the ghost taxi.

If this taxi were any older or more dilapidated, it would be practically the same as that ghost taxi.

Although some parts may not be exactly the same, they should be roughly the same in general.

"Is it a coincidence?"

Xiao He's eyes narrowed, and he immediately became interested.

He then continued scrolling through the information, but his interest, which had just begun to rise, vanished in an instant, because the late-night taxi incident had occurred more than twenty years ago.

At that time, this type of taxi was very common within the alliance, which is why the special operations team in charge of the case did not immediately classify it as a strange incident.

Upon seeing this, Xiao He couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

How could a case from over twenty years ago possibly be related to a current case? Do you really think this is a movie?

Just as Xiao He was about to close the page, he caught a glimpse of the information recorded on it out of the corner of his eye.

That's the license plate number of this taxi.

Upon seeing this, Xiao He immediately felt a sense of familiarity again.

After a moment of contemplation, he finally recalled that among the pile of scrap metal that the ghost taxi had turned into, there seemed to be a broken license plate, and the number on it seemed to be...

Thinking of this, Xiao He felt a chill, but then secretly rejoiced that he hadn't withdrawn so quickly, otherwise he would have almost missed out on billions of dollars, though that was just a metaphor.

"Now, if we just take that license plate and compare the numbers, we should be able to tell if it's the same car."

Xiao He then quickly turned on the communicator on his wrist, found the Spider Man's contact information, and dialed it directly.

Although the pile of stuff was transported back here, only Spider-Man and the logistics team members responsible for moving it know exactly where it is placed.

Of course, this place is only so big, and Xiao He will definitely be able to find out where those things are by searching.

However, since he was going to report this discovery to Spider-Man anyway, there was no need to waste his energy.

the other side.

The third floor of the Binhai City Ghost Night Division branch.

"Another cult of sorcerers?"

The white-haired leader of the Binhai Guiye Division's branch looked increasingly somber.

He never imagined that the cultists would be so brazen as to wreak havoc on the Alliance's people in a city where a branch of the Nightshade Division was located.

In the past, those guys only dared to show up in cities that were only qualified to form special operations teams.

At this moment, the Spider Man sitting opposite the boss of the Seaside Ghost Night Division had most of his body wrapped in bandages, looking extremely miserable. However, these were just superficial injuries for him. The reason he was wrapped up like a half-mummy was to facilitate the use of the Ghost Night Division's unique healing potion.

Although he looks a bit miserable now, his recovery time has been halved, and he is expected to be fully recovered by tomorrow.

After sensing something amiss in his boss's tone, Spider-Man asked with some confusion, "Boss, dealing with a mere cultist should be a piece of cake for you, so why do you seem to be..."

Before the Spider-Man could finish speaking, the leader immediately and calmly interjected, "Seems scared?"

Upon hearing this, the Spider-Man opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and remained silent.

"Do you think that I've become more timid after I got injured?"

Upon hearing this, Spider-Man immediately shook his head and replied, "Boss, I absolutely did not think that."

"And you have the greatest courage I've ever seen, otherwise you wouldn't have turned out the way you are now."

Boss: "..."

Who is really in charge now?

Although Spider-Man's words seemed somewhat "offensive" and "rude," they were undoubtedly true.

As the former deputy captain of the 13th squad of the Night Demon Division headquarters, codenamed "Blood Floating Pagoda," he was recognized as the most daring person in the Night Demon Division headquarters.

Unfortunately, while he was the most daring, he wasn't the strongest.

This resulted in him being seriously injured during a bizarre attack mission, leaving him looking like a frail old man.

At this moment, Xue Futu was filled with turbulent emotions, but his face remained calm.

He was not angry because of the Spider-Man's offensive and rude words, nor was he discouraged by his past experiences.

He simply said calmly, "I'm not afraid of this cultist, but I'm afraid these guys are planning something big here in Binhai."

Spider-Man's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.

"Boss, you mean...?"

Before the Spider Man could finish speaking, Blood Buddha nodded and continued, "You should be well aware of our current situation. I told you before that since we arrived in Binhai, we have discovered the work of at least two cultists here. This is enough to show that those cultists must have something to do with Binhai."

"I reported this situation to headquarters not long ago, and they took it very seriously, which is why they sent the apprentice over."

Spider-Man listened to these words with a sense of disbelief.

"Wasn't the apprentice sent by headquarters to research that guy named Jack, and also to handle our Coastal Night Eeries Division's eerie identification work?"

"And with his current abilities, what use could he possibly be?"

Faced with Spider Man's questions, Blood Buddha simply said casually, "When he left headquarters, the apprentice had already received a gold badge, but he wore his old silver badge to avoid suspicion."

"Gold...a gold badge!"

Upon hearing the words "golden badge," Spider-Man was immediately filled with astonishment.

He never imagined that an apprentice would be qualified to wear a gold badge.

After his initial surprise, the Spider-Man regained his composure. After a moment of contemplation, he said in a low voice, "But... even if the apprentice obtains the gold badge, he alone can't help much."

Blood Buddha nodded slightly: "I know, that's why I sent Ghost with a group of people on a secret mission."

Hearing this, Spider-Man finally understood why his boss had allowed Ghost to secretly leave Binhai some time ago.

"There's one more thing. I've brought back the blind man and the core members of the original special operations team."

"return?"

The spider-man's voice sounded somewhat surprised: "Boss, we finally encountered the true form of that cultist, are we just going to give up so easily?"

Blood Buddha shook his head, and said very seriously, "In your eyes, am I really someone who gives up so easily?"

He paused slightly at this point, his expression instantly turning serious.

"The reason I let them come back is because I suspect... that the true form of that cultist has already arrived at the coast."

Upon hearing this, the Spider-Man's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before he could ask anything, the communicator on his wrist suddenly rang.

He looked up and saw that the person who had called him was none other than the guy who had given himself the code name "The Ripper".

At this moment, the Spider-Man also remembered the task he had assigned to the other party.

Could it be that something has been discovered?
