Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

That day.

When the sound of the elevator arriving came from not far away, Xiao He knew in his heart that the people who came must be the logistics team sent by Spider-Man to handle the cleanup work.

As for why he was so certain, it's because when a normal person encounters a strange event, their first thought is to run out, not to go in.

Moreover, during the time Xiao He and Xiao Li were fighting, the people on the surrounding floors had already disappeared. Perhaps now, only those people from the top floors of the company are still desperately trying to get downstairs in the entire commercial building.

As anyone who has seen the movie knows, taking the elevator in this situation is tantamount to digging your own grave.

Of course, if you take the elevator after everything is over, that's a different story.

So, after guessing that the people who came were the logistics team members, Xiao He was thinking about... that dark cloud and mist that had been gathering and not dispersing since Xiao Li's death.

After confirming that Xiao Li's corpse could not be turned into a strange card, he thought that perhaps the dark cloud and mist were the key to this.

So, in order to prevent the arriving logistics team members from discovering his "embezzlement," Xiao He immediately leaped towards the dark cloud and mist that had gathered on the ceiling of the next floor.

As the dark cloud and mist drew closer, Xiao He involuntarily raised his right hand and reached out.

The next second, he could feel a cold sensation coming from between his palm and the dark cloud of mist, followed by a familiar feeling.

Upon sensing the unusual movement of the black card in his mind, Xiao He immediately understood that this dark cloud and mist could indeed be transformed into a strange card.

The instant his palm completely touched the dark cloud of mist, the cloud-like mist, which was flashing with blood-red lightning, suddenly contracted, as if it had been tightly gathered together by a pair of invisible giant hands.

Then, the dark cloud and mist that had been scattered in the air quickly changed from a fog-like state to a water droplet-like state, and finally condensed into a black liquid like an obsidian gemstone, which floated above Xiao He's palm.

The black liquid exuded a thick, eerie aura, making even the surrounding air seem heavy and suffocating.

Once Xiao He had landed and stood firm, he began to carefully examine the black liquid in his hand.

On the surface of this black liquid, there appear to be some blood-red forked lines. These lines crisscross and resemble blood vessels, making them particularly noticeable.

At this moment, the black liquid was flowing continuously in his palm, as if it had a life of its own.

Then he felt a strange power emanating from the black liquid, as if countless dark tentacles were penetrating his skin and entering his body, trying to completely corrupt his soul.

Having already sensed this, how could Xiao He possibly allow this power to enter his body? He snorted coldly, and then a thought struck him.

The next second, the power of the black card from the depths of his soul instantly overwhelmed this inexplicable force like a flood, and then quickly enveloped the black liquid in Xiao He's hand.

Xiao He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the black liquid in his hand was trying to break free. However, in the end, the black liquid was like an ordinary person who found himself trapped in an endless quagmire, unable to escape the restraint of the power from the black card.

Finally, accompanied by a strange roar and a low murmur, a black light that only Xiao He could see flashed, and the black liquid in his hand disappeared completely, replaced by a strange card that was surrounded by wisps of black and exuded a cold aura.

At that moment, the shouts of the logistics team members also rang out.

And the recollection ends here.

at the same time.

Inside the room, which resembled a monitoring room, Xiao He slowly gathered his thoughts and calmly looked at the strange card floating in front of him.

【Polluted water】

Category: Ghostly Objects

Rating: One Star

Quality: Normal

Ability: It can pollute water sources, causing people to gradually become addicted and lose their rationality, becoming irritable and crazy, and finally becoming puppets of corrupt forces.

Side effects: Those who drink the tainted water will be empowered by the tainted power, strengthening their physique but weakening their sanity, eventually turning them into complete madmen.

Note: Once you master how to use the Turbid Pot, you can command the puppets that have drunk the turbid water.

......

"It seems this thing can only be used for sacrifices."

Xiao He muttered to himself.

While this so-called murky water might grant an ordinary person strange powers, the drawbacks are too great.

Putting aside the fact that it would be addictive, the fact that it would cause one to lose their rationality was enough to make Xiao He abandon the idea of ​​using this filthy water.

If the price of gaining power is losing one's sanity, then what is the point of gaining that power?

In Xiao He's view, losing one's reason is equivalent to losing one's soul.

As an old saying goes.

If you have money but no life to enjoy it, then what's the point of working so hard to earn it?

That's obviously unnecessary.

However, having thought of this, Xiao He was not in a hurry to use the filthy water as a sacrifice.

Since the money is already in my hands, I'm not in a hurry to spend it.

Moreover, this filthy water seems to have some effect; it might come in handy in the future.

Just as Xiao He was thinking about this, the Spider Man's slightly low voice also came from the equipment and instruments in front of the logistics team members in the room.

"Since you refuse to cooperate with us, there's no need for me to continue kissing you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao He, realizing there was something to eat, immediately shifted his gaze from the strange card in front of him to the surveillance screen in the room.

In the dark and oppressive interrogation room, Spider-Man made a gesture towards the camera in the room.

The next second, the scene changed.

At this moment, the door to the interrogation room was gently pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing a loose, dark blue robe entered. He was calm and confident, and his eyes seemed to contain wisdom. As he walked, he inadvertently exuded a calm and refined air.

At this moment, Spider-Man sat at the table, his face serious and indifferent. He stared at He Wei, who was bound by chains, and explained in a low voice, "Let me introduce you. This is the interrogator of the former Binhai City Special Operations Team, and also a master hypnotist."

"He will be in charge of your interrogation from now on."

Upon hearing this, He Wei's face revealed a hint of disdain.

"I thought you'd send your Seaside Night Demon Division's 'Ghost' tamer to interrogate me, but it turns out it was just a hypnotist."

The spider-man's eyes narrowed slightly: "Even if you are a representative of the Twisted Cult, you are actually just an ordinary person. According to the rules, under these circumstances, our Night Demon Division will not use our supernatural abilities on you."

Of course, rules are rules, but people are flexible.

If even this master hypnotist can't get anything out of this guy named He Wei, then Spider-Man will definitely ask Ghost for help.

Unfortunately, the ghost has not yet returned to Binhai.

Then, the Spider-Man gestured to the hypnotist who had walked up to him. The hypnotist nodded in understanding and then slowly walked to He Wei's side, gently stroking his wrist and conveying warmth and a soothing sensation.

"You can rest assured that although my job is as an interrogator, I am different from other interrogators who use violence to interrogate prisoners."

The interrogator, a former hypnotist, smiled slightly at He Wei, and then surprisingly revealed the same kind smile that He Wei had worn earlier.

That kind smile seemed to be telling He Wei that he was a good person.

Upon seeing this, He Wei immediately frowned deeply.

In fact, just as Spider-Man said, He Wei is just an ordinary person after all.

If, as the other party claims, this seemingly amiable man is indeed a master hypnotist, then he has no idea whether he can remain conscious under the other party's "hypnosis."

"No, I absolutely cannot let this guy hypnotize me."

He Wei's heart sank. He then clenched his fists tightly, letting his fingernails dig deep into his palms, trying to use the pain to keep himself awake.

Moreover, just in case, he was prepared to bite his tongue and commit suicide.

He knew in his heart that even if the other party was a master hypnotist, as long as he maintained his focused attention and the pain that constantly stimulated his nerves, he would not be hypnotized.

The hypnotist simply smiled at He Wei's actions.

If this is how you break his hypnosis, then he should take off his "master" title.

Then, the hypnotist looked at He Wei, who had a look of resignation to his fate, and said softly, "Relax, I won't do anything to you."

"Just take a deep breath, relax your body, and look into my eyes."

The hypnotist's voice was deep and magnetic, gradually enveloping the entire room, and his words carried a soothing tone.

Upon hearing what the other person said, He Wei immediately closed his eyes.

If his hands hadn't been locked up, he probably would have had his ears covered too.

However, just as He Wei closed his eyes, his nose twitched slightly, as if he had smelled something.

Immediately afterwards, his body began to relax uncontrollably.

"What happened?"

Upon realizing this change, he immediately opened his eyes again, his gaze filled with astonishment.

Before he could react, he felt dizzy and his mind became somewhat hazy.

Then, he heard an extremely lewd voice coming from all around him.

"Hehe, my special drug works pretty well, doesn't it?"

As soon as he finished speaking...

The voice suddenly became soft and gentle.

"Now just listen to my voice, take slow, deep breaths, and relax your body."

At this point, after administering a sedative to He Wei, the hypnotist began to subtly guide He Wei into a relaxed state, leading him to the depths of his mind.

Under the influence of the drug, He Wei, in a daze, unconsciously closed his eyes and began to slowly relax under the guidance of the hypnotist.

"You are now in an absolutely safe and peaceful place. You can feel the calm and acceptance around you. Continue to breathe deeply, relax every muscle in your body, and let all the stress and burdens go away from you."

The hypnotist's voice was like a gentle stream, slowly soothing He Wei's soul.

At this moment, He Wei's breathing gradually became steady, his body gradually relaxed, and his mind gradually became hazy. Under the guidance of the hypnotist, he felt as if he were floating in a distant and peaceful dream.

The hypnotist then continued to guide He Wei's attention, attempting to take him "back in time" to his experiences before he came to Binhai.

"Now, you can see everything you've been through and feel all the details and emotions."

The hypnotist's voice gradually became softer and more enchanting, as if leading He Wei into a dreamlike realm.

Under the combined influence of the hypnotist's voice and the sedative, He Wei's thoughts have become completely blurred and profound.

Under hypnosis, he was deeply immersed in his past memories, his subconscious thoughts intertwined with the hypnotist's guidance, making it impossible for him to distinguish between dream and reality.

Gradually, the hypnosis process came to an end.

The hypnotist set a trigger point in He Wei's consciousness, a force that could touch He Wei's heart.

The hypnotist gently said, "Now, you can reduce your guilt by recalling the past."

Upon hearing these words, He Wei seemed to feel a profound emotional impact, as if a new constraint had been placed upon his soul.

At that moment, as the effects of the drug wore off, the hypnotist ended the hypnosis process, allowing He Wei to gradually recover from his dazed state.

He looked at He Wei, who was slowly opening his eyes, and turned to the Spider Man beside him, saying, "Now it's okay. He can no longer distinguish between what is real and what is illusory."

"So whatever you ask, he will answer."

Upon hearing this, the spider-man nodded in satisfaction.

He truly deserves to be called a master hypnotist.

Then, he looked at He Wei, who looked bewildered, and asked the first question that had been on his mind.

"What exactly is the purpose of that cultist behind you coming to Binhai?"

Upon hearing this, He Wei subconsciously said something.

"It makes the coastal waters even more turbid."
