Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

"Why do you gangsters always like to hide guns under the table?"

Looking at the frozen pork that had been easily riddled with holes by steel balls, Xiao He, lying on the ground, was utterly speechless.

If it weren't for the timely reminder from the Hanging Ghost, he would probably have more than a dozen steel balls stuck to his body by now.

Thinking of this, Xiao He stopped thinking and rolled away to hide behind a shelf full of frozen meat.

next second.

boom!

Another muffled gunshot rang out in the cold storage. Feeling the tremors from the shelves beside him, Xiao He's gaze immediately darkened.

He had originally only intended to pull out his gun and threaten the other party to make him leave, but judging from the situation, it seemed unlikely that things would end well today.

The thought of the bloody, mangled pork he had just witnessed immediately turned Xiao He's eyes cold. He glanced indifferently at the gun in his hand, then uttered a few words softly.

"Kill them!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the shelf.

After running out of bullets, Scarface Yong reloaded while turning to his four men beside him and said, "Second brother, you call more men over first, then you and the others sneak over from the side and force the kid out. If he dares to show his face, I'll blow his head off."

Hearing this, the four burly men, though wary of the gun in Xiao He's hand, nodded without hesitation. After all, their loyalty to Scarface Yong had been tested, as they were the ones who stood by his side.

Just as one of the burly men pulled out his phone to call for help, his years of experience honed by fighting dangerous situations suddenly told him that someone was standing behind him.

Before he could think any further, a cold breath wrapped around his neck.

Click!

The next moment, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, the burly man with a fierce face rolled his eyes back and fell to the ground, dead.

Almost simultaneously, the sounds of the cell phone and the corpse falling to the ground also instantly caught the attention of Scarface Yong and the others.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you...?"

When Scarface Yong heard the noise, he thought that his second brother had accidentally dropped his phone on the ground, but when he turned his head, he saw a scene that he would never forget.

A long, pale-faced woman in white with bulging eyes had a long, blood-red tongue sticking out of her mouth, tightly gripping the second man's neck.

Seeing the second brother's eyes rolling back and foaming at the mouth, Scarface Yong knew he was going to die.

"It seems that the news was true. This Xiao He really can control a strange creature, which means..."

Seeing this, Scarface Yong remained relatively calm.

Having worked as a street cleaner for so many years, this wasn't the first time he'd encountered something this deadly.

However, his remaining three subordinates were different.

Especially when the three of them saw the Hanging Ghost forcefully pull out the corpse's tongue and swallow it, they were completely stunned and stood there, not daring to move an inch.

Although the three of them had seen strange things before, this was the first time they had seen something so close to them.

After swallowing the tongue of the corpse on the ground, the Hanging Ghost's cold gaze moved back and forth over the group. Finally, it fixed its gaze on Scarface Yong not far away, then suddenly opened its mouth, and a scarlet tongue shot out at him like an arrow.

"What bad luck!"

Scarface Yong's expression changed drastically, but when faced with the flying scarlet tongue, he did not choose to raise his shotgun and fire directly. Instead, he pulled a burly man next to him to shield him.

Ordinary bullets generally cannot kill the strange creature.

The unfortunate fellow who had been dragged over by Scarface Yong realized the other's intentions, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Brother Yong, no..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the hanging ghost's tongue pierced his throat.

The next moment, scalding blood gushed out, splattering all over Scarface Yong's face.

At the same time, three gunshots suddenly rang out behind Scarface Yong.

boom!

He instinctively turned around and saw another of his men clutching his chest and slowly collapsing to the ground.

While the hanging ghost was distracting the other party, Xiao He raised his hand and fired three shots at the burly man closest to him. Although his marksmanship was not very good, two of the shots still hit the man's body.

In an instant, both of Scarface Yong's men were killed on the spot.

Looking at the enemy who died by his gun, Xiao He's face showed no emotion, even though this was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands.

But from some point onward, he seemed to have become accustomed to killing.

With a blank expression, Xiao He raised his gun again, aiming the black muzzle at Scarface Yong, who was looking at him.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a strange thing happened!

Scarface bravely pulled over the last henchman and, amidst the man's terrified gaze, bit down on his neck.

"what!"

Hearing that painful and agonizing wail, Xiao He frowned.

The other party's strange behavior was clearly not a good sign for him, so he no longer hesitated and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

boom!boom!

After a few gunshots, Xiao He emptied the pistol he had stolen, and Scarface Yong and his last henchman were also hit by bullets and fell into a pool of blood.

However, Xiao He frowned as he looked at the corpse on the ground.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but when the bullet passed through the other person's body, there didn't seem to be any blood splattering out.

"What?"

At this moment, Xiao He's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly called for the hanged ghost to return to his side.

Just now, another message came from the hanged ghost, saying that the aura of its own kind, that is, the eerie aura, was found on the corpses on the ground.

Just as Xiao He was staring warily at the corpses on the ground not far away, a blood-stained figure slowly and unsteadily stood up from the ground.

It's Scarface Yong. He's still alive?

Seeing the bullet hole in the other person's forehead, Xiao He's expression immediately turned serious: "To be hit in the head by a bullet and still not die, that's really strange."

He never expected that Scarface Yong, a cleaner who had been involved in the underground forces of Binhai City for many years, would be such a strange person.

Just as Xiao He sensed something was wrong, Scarface Yong stood up, touched the bullet hole on his forehead, and then raised a twisted smile with blood still clinging to his lips.

"How about it? Isn't this strange power intoxicating?"

Scarface Yong's gaze fell on Xiao He not far away. His eyes had turned blood red at some point, and he occasionally revealed two sharp fangs as he spoke.

"You and I are both lucky ones favored by this power," Scarface Yong said in a deep voice. "Why don't you consider cooperating with me? If we join forces, at least half of the underground in Binhai City will be ours."

"I just killed your men, and you want to cooperate with me right after? Aren't you afraid of alienating your men?" Xiao He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Scarface Yong with a glint in his eyes. "Besides, I've never seen anyone harbor murderous intent towards their partner."

Even without the reminder from the Hanging Ghost, Xiao He could sense the intense killing intent emanating from Scarface Yong's eyes.

Scarface Yong gave a cold laugh, a fierce glint flashing in his blood-red eyes.

He really didn't intend to cooperate with Xiao He. He said that to buy time, but unfortunately, the strange power was too difficult to control, so much so that he couldn't control his emotions well.

"Hehe, I never said I was cooperating with you while you were alive."

Scarface Yong grinned maliciously, and then some strange changes occurred to his body.

His muscles bulged, and he grew into a small giant over two meters tall at a visible speed. His skin began to turn into a creepy bluish-black, and strange black hairs sprouted all over his body like ancient tree buds.

Along with Scarface Yong's bizarre transformation, he gradually began to emit a nauseating stench, similar to the smell of a rotting corpse.

"Zombies?"

This thought suddenly popped into Xiao He's mind.

At this moment, Scarface Yong looked exactly like the zombies he had seen in movies in his previous life: a blue face with fangs and covered in black hair.

Just then, after transforming, Scarface Yong's eyes flashed red, and he rushed towards Xiao He as a blur.

Upon seeing this, Xiao He felt a sense of danger rising in his heart and immediately reacted. He did not turn around and run back, nor did he order the hanging ghost to block his way. Instead, he made a decisive move, jumped to the side, and hid behind a shelf full of frozen meat once again.

At the same time, the figure of the hanged ghost beside him gradually became illusory.

boom!

With a dull thud, the seemingly sturdier shelf was dented by Scarface Yong's punch, and even Xiao He, who was hiding behind the shelf, was hit hard.

He felt as if his internal organs had shifted, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"It seems the price you have to pay to control this monster is quite high."

Scarface Yong licked the blood from his lips and sneered, "I was almost dead just now, and I didn't want to let your weirdo do it."

In any world, if you want to gain something, you must pay a price.

If ordinary people want to master strange powers, the price they have to pay will only be greater.

In fact, Scarface Yong was not the monster in human skin that Xiao He thought he was. The strange power he possessed actually came from the two sharp teeth embedded in his mouth.

These two sharp teeth come from a kind of eerie creature called the Corpse Ghost.

The Corpse Ghost is a bloodthirsty and brutal monster, with a body as stiff as an ancient tree and immense strength like a tiger. Like the Hanging Ghost, it belongs to one of the twelve common types of monsters.

After Scarface Yong embedded the fangs of the Corpse Demon into his mouth, he could temporarily transform into a Corpse Demon and possess strange powers by sucking fresh human blood.

However, every time Scarface Yong uses the power of the Corpse Demon, his body is eroded by this power and gradually decays.

That's why he spends most of his time in this dark and gloomy cold storage, trying to slow down the rate of his body's decay.

Although Scarface Yong didn't know what the price Xiao He would have to pay for controlling the supernatural was, he believed that Xiao He wouldn't be able to pay that price anytime soon.

"In that case, I'm quite looking forward to seeing what your blood tastes like."

Scarface Yong smiled cruelly, his eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty red light.

Since he obtained the two Corpse Demon Fangs, he has not yet drunk the blood of anyone who also possesses strange powers.

At this moment, Scarface Yong was even more delusional, hoping to gain a way to control the white-clad monster by drinking Xiao He's blood.

"So, you might as well just obediently accept your death!"

He raised his right hand, his five fingers forming a claw, and his five bluish-black fingernails instantly grew longer before he grabbed at the severely dented shelf in front of him.

These five bluish-black fingernails are extremely sharp, enough to pierce through steel plates. They are Scarface Yong's strongest attack method. He once used this move to instantly pierce through a car and crush the head of the person inside.

call out!

However, just as Scarface Yong was about to pierce through the shelf and crush Xiao He's head, a whooshing sound suddenly came from behind him.

He glanced back instinctively and saw a long, blood-red tongue lashing out at him like a crimson whip.

The one who made the move was the Hanged Ghost.

However, at some point, it appeared behind Scarface Yong, seemingly intending to launch a sneak attack.

Upon noticing this, Scarface Yong frowned and stopped what he was doing.

Compared to Xiao He hiding behind the shelves, the strange figure that appeared behind him at this moment was his biggest threat.

Thinking of this, Scarface turned around fiercely, his five sharp fingernails reaching out to grab the incoming bloody tongue.

Just as their attacks were about to collide, the blood-red tongue suddenly spun around, instantly coiling around Scarface Yong's legs like a nimble venomous snake.

The next moment, the Hanging Ghost pulled hard, and with a tremendous force, Scarface Yong's massive body was violently dragged to the ground with a dull thud.

"Hmph, that's all?"

Scarface Yong sneered and prepared to raise his claws to chop at the tongue that was binding his feet. However, at that moment, he suddenly saw a black shadow fly by rapidly from above. When he saw clearly what the black shadow was, his expression froze.

Because the dark figure that had just flown past was the shotgun he had bought from the black market.

As it arced through the air in a perfect parabola, a figure suddenly sprang out from behind the shelf and caught the shotgun that had been thrown by the hanged ghost.

Looking at the shotgun in his hand and feeling the cold touch between his fingers, Xiao He felt a surge of confidence.

He turned to look at the deeply dented shelf and sighed.

"It's best to avoid such risky behavior in the future."

Just as Scarface Yong said, he almost died just now. If Scarface Yong's punch had been a little more accurate, his life would probably have ended there.

The reason he risked his life was to attract Scarface Qiang's attention, so that the Hanging Ghost, who used his illusionary abilities, could sneak past him and pick up the shotgun on the ground.

Back when Scarface Yong transformed, Xiao He had already secretly asked if Hanging Ghost could kill him, but the answer he received was 60/40.

Hanged Ghost Six, Scarface Brave Four.

In fact, Xiao He was not surprised by this answer, after all, unlike the previous situation, the enemy that the Hanging Ghost was facing this time was also a strange one.

Although Xiao He was also strange, unfortunately he had no means of attack and was just a decoration.

So, in order to contribute a small amount of strength during the bizarre battle between the two sides, and also to give himself more confidence, Xiao He came up with this plan.

Although he wasn't sure if firearms could harm the supernatural, having a gun was better than not having one. But ultimately, he was just seeking peace of mind.

Thinking this through, Xiao He stopped pondering, raised the shotgun in his hand, and fired a shot at Scarface Yong lying on the ground.

next second.

With a gunshot, more blood and flesh flew everywhere.
