Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

Well known.

If you drop a drop of ink into a glass of clear water, the water will immediately turn black. If you drop a drop of ink into a bucket of clear water, the ink will spread from dark to light. Although the bucket of water may appear clear at first glance, a slight turbidity can actually be seen if you look closely.

However, if you drop a drop of ink into a pond, no matter how you look at it, you won't see any change in the pond.

But if you pour a bucket, or even dozens or hundreds of buckets of ink into a pond, the water in that pond will inevitably turn completely black.

When the ink in a pond reaches a certain level, then the water in that pond becomes "ink".

Nowadays, this coastal city is like a "pond," and the bizarre attacks that erupt like geysers are like buckets of ink.

When the number of strange occurrences or the fluctuations of strange energy in the coastal city reach a certain level, the conspiracy of the two cultists, Scorpion and Magician, will truly come to light.

No one knows why the cultists chose to commit such a horrific act in this coastal city.

......

Meanwhile, on the other side...

In the city square, which was littered with debris, Xiao He took an ordinary communicator from Zheng Hao, who had a solemn expression, with a puzzled look on his face.

According to Zheng Hao, the Spider Man had something to ask him, and it was something "terrible".

The reason Spider-Man didn't contact Xiao He directly was because he couldn't reach him, since the latter's communicator was "accidentally" damaged during this mission.

As for why Spider-Man didn't contact Jack, that remains unknown.

As soon as Xiao He took the communicator, the Spider Man's deep voice came through it the next second.

"There's an urgent task that needs your attention..."

Over the next minute, Xiao He also learned about the terrible thing the Spider-Man was talking about from the Spider-Man's rapid and clear words.

A bizarre attack has occurred on the coast!

Although bizarre attacks had been occurring at a rapid pace along the coast before, today was different.

Today, or rather, after Xiao He dealt with the bizarre attack in the city square, several bizarre attacks suddenly occurred simultaneously in various corners of the coastal city. According to statistics, the number of these attacks was several times greater than the day with the highest number of bizarre attacks.

It was as if it had been premeditated.

Upon hearing this, Xiao He's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

Then, he recalled the speculations the Spider-Man had made about the cultists' plot against Binhai.

Thinking of this, Xiao He felt a sense of foreboding.

Perhaps today is the day when those cultists will finally reveal their true colors.

Just then, Spider-Man's voice continued to ring out from the communicator.

"Also, head to Red Leaf Middle School immediately. Not long ago, someone reported a strange attack there. So far, the closest people to the school are you and Demon Bear."

"Understood, I'll set off immediately."

After Xiao He answered, he quickly cut off the communication, not even hearing what the Spider Man said about being careful.

It wasn't that he was "worried" about the safety of the teachers and students at that middle school, but rather... if he arrived too late, the strange creature might have already been dealt with by another monster hunter.

As Spider-Man just said, due to the numerous bizarre attacks in Binhai, the task of the Bianhai Night Demon Squad, who are responsible for handling these attacks, is to deal with the bizarre incidents in their vicinity.

Moreover, according to Spider-Man, although there are many of these bizarre attacks, most of them are easy to handle, as simple as clocking in at work. Of course, that only applies to a monster controller like Xiao He.

Although Xiao He and Jack are currently the closest Ghost Masters to Red Leaf Middle School, Xiao He himself cannot guarantee that other Ghost Masters who have dealt with the supernatural phenomena might "happen" to pass by and then take care of the supernatural phenomena in the middle school.

Even though this is a good thing, for Xiao He, it means losing a strange card!

Thinking of this, Xiao He immediately turned around, waved to Jack, and said, "Let's go, we have more work to do."

Because the communication was being played out loud, Jack knew what had happened in the coastal city.

At this moment, his expression was slightly tense, and his eyes revealed a hint of worry.

After all, Jack and Xiao He had different focuses. The latter was concerned with how to turn those strange occurrences into strange cards, while the former was concerned with how long it would take to deal with so many strange attacks!

Thinking about this, Jack frowned: "This is going to be a tricky job."

Upon hearing Jack's words, Xiao He sighed softly, "There's nothing we can do; that's just how it is when you work for someone else."

Despite this, Xiao He was quite looking forward to the tricky task ahead. After all, today's mission had yielded no results, and unlike Jack, who was a "working man," he was working for himself.

Soon after, Zheng Hao, still acting as the driver, drove Xiao He and Jack to the gate of a middle school called "Red Leaf" located in the city center.

To be fair, this middle school was really close to Xiao He and his group; it only took them about ten minutes to get there.

As Xiao He and Jack got out of the car and were about to step into the middle school gate, they both felt a sinister atmosphere permeating the air.

That was an eerie aura.

Just then, a group of students ran out of there, their faces pale and haggard, clearly terrified. They seemed to be muttering something to themselves and kept looking back, as if they were afraid of being caught by something.

"Help me! Help me!"

At the same time, pitiful cries for help gradually rose from behind the students.

Sensing something was wrong, Xiao He immediately picked up Jack, who was standing nearby. After passing by some students who were running for their lives, he was shocked to find that the students who were running at the back and shouting "Help me" were being chased by orange-faced creatures the size of human heads.

After some unfortunate students were caught, those orange-faced creatures suddenly opened their blood-red mouths and bit down hard on the students' bodies, as if they were constantly draining their life force.

Xiao He saw that as the students bitten by the orange-faced creatures let out mournful screams, their faces were aging at a visible rate.

Seeing this, Xiao He's heart stirred. He knew he had to step forward now to protect those... human-faced oranges from being snatched up by other arriving demon hunters. As for those innocent and unlucky students, he could also "save" them along the way.

Thinking of this, he had a sudden thought, and his arm wriggled and instantly transformed into a gleaming, bloody blade.

Then, he moved swiftly and rushed towards one of the orange-faced figures.

Although Xiao He had already expended a lot of energy and suffered many minor injuries before arriving, his physical strength recovered to its peak state after he put on the clown mask, thanks to the power of the clown mask. Even all his injuries had healed.

At this moment, the flesh-and-blood blade he wielded sliced ​​through the air like lightning, then slashed towards the orange-faced creature. With his swift and precise movements, the orange-faced creature he had targeted let out a shrill scream before being cut in two by the flesh-and-blood blade.

This scene reminded Xiao He of a game he had played in his previous life, which also involved cutting fruit with a knife.

When the orange with the human face was cut open, it was revealed that there was no pulp inside, but a clump of black, viscous liquid that emitted a foul odor. It looked extremely disgusting and seemed to be hiding some kind of evil power.

Seeing this, Xiao He didn't think anything was wrong.

It's weird, so it's normal. It would be weird if it contained sweet and juicy fruit.

Thinking of this, Xiao He disregarded the other students who were still being chased by the human-faced orange and immediately squatted down to touch the "remains" of the human-faced orange.

Although it's unwise to transform the bizarre remains into bizarre cards in public, given the current chaos, it shouldn't be a problem if he secretly collects these remains and then finds a secluded place to transform them into bizarre cards.

However, when Xiao He touched the mangled remains of the human-faced orange, he frowned slightly.

"strangeness."

The orange with the human face that he cut in half could not be transformed into a strange card.

Isn't this thing a weirdo?

But that's not right!

This orange looks really weird no matter how you look at it!

Thinking about this, Xiao He realized that perhaps the human-faced orange was just a part of something strange, or a puppet of some strange object, which was why it couldn't be transformed into a strange card.

"So... we still need to find someone to ask where these oranges came from."

Xiao He muttered to himself.

After all, only after knowing the origin of these oranges with human faces can we trace the clues to find the source.

"But before that..."

Thinking of this, Xiao He first glanced at the students being chased by the human-faced oranges, and then at a few human-faced oranges who seemed to be looking for revenge for their "kind" and had their eyes on him.

After all, no matter what, the priority now is to get rid of these annoying and "useless" orange-faced plants.

So, he stared expressionlessly at the grotesque, terrifying-looking oranges with their gaping maws ready to take a bite out of him, and then unleashed his "ultimate move" once again.

"Go, Pikachu."

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw Jack, which he was holding, away again.

Jack: "?"

This scene seems familiar.

However, this time, Jack didn't even bother to send a heartfelt greeting to Xiao He's family.

After all, he realized that his "colleague," "leader," and "senior" seemed to be using him... well... he should be calling him a weapon.

Although Jack felt quite helpless about this.

He really wanted to stand up straight and tell the other person, "Please respect me, okay? I'm your colleague, not your weapon."

But after much deliberation, he gave up the idea of ​​saying those words.

For no other reason than that if he himself had such a "handy" weapon, he would do the same.

Of course, the most important point is... he can't beat Xiao He.

So, as Jack flew out in a parabolic arc again, just before falling into the mouths of those orange-faced creatures, he dutifully did what a "weapon" should do.

"roar!"

When Jack transformed back into a huge and strong bear, he first let out a deep and majestic roar at the faces that seemed to want to eat him, and then raised his paws and pounced on the orange face.

As Jack's claws slashed down, they struck one of the foremost orange-faced figures with tremendous force, causing it to explode instantly, scattering black liquid resembling orange pulp and juice everywhere.

Seeing this, the other orange-faced creatures abandoned their attacks on the students and Xiao He, and turned to attack Jack. They bit at Jack's body with their sharp teeth, but they couldn't cause any real damage to Jack's tough fur.

Seeing the "oranges" hanging on him, Jack roared and swung his claws wildly. This time, his target was clear.

He's going to take on ten of them!

As Jack's enormous bear paw created a gust of wind, the orange-faced creatures were completely shattered by his power, struggling and falling to the ground.

As if he had thought of something, Jack's eyes turned cold and ruthless in the blink of an eye.

If he can't beat Xiao He, surely he can beat these guys?

Thinking of this, Jack seemed to vent his "resentment" towards Xiao He on these human-faced oranges. He leaped up and jumped into the group of human-faced oranges like a beast hunting its prey.

He kept swinging his huge, thick bear paws, smashing the human-faced oranges into pulp.

In an instant, a strong and nauseating odor filled the air, and the ground was littered with tattered orange "corpses" and puddles of black liquid.

Finally, after smashing the last orange face into a puddle of sticky black liquid, Jack slowly transformed from a bear back into a doll.

Although he was covered in black liquid, a smile appeared on his tired face, as if he had given some enemy a good beating.

Just then, the black liquid on Jack's head slid down to his mouth due to inertia, and he subconsciously licked it.

Then, in the next second, his eyes lit up.

"Huh? It's strawberry flavored?"
