Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

Logically speaking, even if these oranges have human faces, aren't they still oranges at heart? So why does that black liquid inside, which looks like pulp and juice, taste like strawberries?

Although Jack himself didn't know why this was happening, he wasn't surprised by it.

After all, just as Xiao He had thought before, it's strange, so it's normal.

However, the moment Jack swallowed the black liquid that had dripped into his mouth, something strange happened.

Glug! Glug!

A sound like indigestion suddenly rang out from Jack's body.

"what?"

Jack, sensing something amiss, immediately changed his expression slightly.

Oh no! Could I have eaten something wrong?

That makes sense. After all, these black liquids smell so foul, how could they possibly taste like strawberries? They must have eaten something wrong!

However, just when Jack thought he had eaten something wrong, he suddenly felt a powerful energy flowing through his body. He could feel every cell bursting with life force, as if he had been injected with energy representing life.

Although Jack didn't know where a doll like himself got his cells, that's what he was thinking at the moment.

At the same time, as this energy flowed, Jack instantly felt his body filled with power, and his previous fatigue vanished completely.

Jack was, after all, just a newbie who had only recently mastered the strange powers. Using his strange abilities twice in one day was already his limit. After dealing with those orange-faced creatures, he was almost completely exhausted.

However, ever since that powerful life energy began to circulate within his body, he immediately felt that his condition was rapidly recovering to its peak state.

He had a feeling that he was going to succeed again!

Now he can take on ten people at once again.

Thinking of this, Jack reached out and looked at the black liquid on his arm, and his eyes immediately lit up with a blue light.

This is good stuff!

However, Jack was unaware that his "strange" behavior had already attracted Xiao He's attention.

"What are you going to do?"

Just as Jack was about to stick out his tongue to lick the black liquid on his arm, Xiao He's slightly surprised voice suddenly rang out from behind him, startling him.

"No...nothing."

Realizing what was happening, Jack, seeing Xiao He's gaze that seemed to regard him as a "pervert," immediately explained, "Don't misunderstand, these..."

After Jack explained, Xiao He slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the pools of black liquid on the ground, his expression immediately turning strange.

"Are these disgusting things really as good as you say?"

Jack nodded: "That's right!"

After saying that, as if to convince Xiao He, he actually started performing a set of health-preserving boxing techniques that only elderly people in parks practice.

Upon seeing this, Xiao He frowned slightly.

He remained skeptical of Jack's words.

For no other reason than that the black liquid "bursting" out of the human-faced orange's body smelled truly nauseating. Although Xiao He only frowned slightly at the disgusting smell, if someone told him that these disgusting things, although they smelled bad, tasted delicious and seemed to have the effect of restoring physical strength after being eaten, then he would definitely not... Wait a minute! Why does this sound so familiar?

"Smells awful, but tastes delicious?"

Xiao He's gaze shifted slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Soon, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately showed a look of realization.

Good heavens, isn't this just a "delicacy" from the last century—stinky tofu!

Although Xiao He didn't particularly like stinky tofu, he still tried this universally acknowledged "delicacy".

How to put it? I can only say it doesn't suit his taste.

Thinking of this, Xiao He looked at the pools of black liquid on the ground and began to believe Jack's words to some extent.

Finally, after confirming that Jack wasn't deliberately "luring" him to "taste" the foul-smelling black liquid out of revenge for "throwing" him out, Xiao He felt a strange urge to try it when he looked at it, just like when he tried stinky tofu in the previous world.

"Never mind."

However, after careful consideration, Xiao He abandoned the idea.

As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth, and illness enters through the mouth.

In your previous life, eating the wrong thing might have resulted in just diarrhea, but in this world, eating the wrong thing, especially something of unknown origin or "strange" origin, would have consequences far more serious than just diarrhea.

Although Jack seems to be fine now, that doesn't mean he'll be fine in the future.

The main point now isn't what benefits or side effects there would be from consuming the black liquid inside these orange-faced creatures, but rather...

Thinking of this, Xiao He no longer looked at Jack, who seemed to be secretly licking the black liquid while "fighting" out of fear and embarrassment, but instead turned his gaze to the only "survivor" on the scene, a female teacher who seemed to be stunned and stood there blankly.

In this middle school, the targets of those "human-faced oranges" are not only naive students, but also many teachers.

At this moment, a female teacher stood blankly among the corpses of some orange-faced figures and the unfortunate corpses of some students who had been sucked dry. She was wearing a white dress, but the hem of the dress was now stained with a lot of foul-smelling black liquid, and her slightly pale face was filled with fear and helplessness.

This would have happened to anyone else.

After all, in a short period of time, this female teacher witnessed a strange orange tree that suddenly grew, some oranges with human faces that fell from the tree and kept tearing at her students, a man who could turn his arm into a knife, and a doll that could turn into a bear.

Although the female teacher was aware of the existence of the strange, and had seen some strange things in the news.

But after she personally experienced the bizarre attack, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, just like the story of Lord Ye who loved dragons but was terrified at first glance.

However, unlike the characters in the story, she doesn't like the supernatural!

Moreover, she was just an ordinary teacher who had never experienced such a terrifying and bizarre attack, and she was terrified.

At this moment, Xiao He slowly walked to her side and softly asked, "Are you alright?"

Upon hearing Xiao He's words, the female teacher seemed to realize what was happening. She slowly raised her head to look at Xiao He, tears welling up in her eyes. She was still somewhat afraid of the man in front of her who could turn his arm into a large sword, but he didn't seem to have any ill intentions. So she said in a trembling voice, "I...I'm fine."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He gave a "kind" smile and said, "You don't need to worry. We are the Night Watchers of Binhai, here specifically to solve strange incidents."

"The Night Demon Slayer!"

Upon hearing this, the female teacher's heart stirred.

She knew about the Ghost Night Division; it was said that the Ghost Masters within the Ghost Night Division were specifically responsible for dealing with the supernatural.

It turns out that the man in front of me is a demon tamer!

But that doll is...

Thinking of this, the female teacher looked at Jack, who had stopped "practicing his fists" and was now silently looking down at a pool of black liquid on the ground, his face showing hesitation.

Noticing the doubt in the female teacher's eyes, Xiao He explained to her, "He is also a tamer of our Binhai Ghost Night Division, but his situation is a bit special."

"Oh, oh!" The female teacher nodded.

At first, she thought the doll was the man's pet.

Just then, Xiao He looked at the female teacher, whose emotions had gradually calmed down, and asked softly, "Do you know where these orange peels with human faces come from?"

This was also Xiao He's purpose in seeking out the female teacher: to find out the origin of those oranges with human faces from her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so kind as to care about a "stranger".

Upon hearing Xiao He's words, the female teacher seemed to recall something, and her eyes were filled with fear again. Her emotions, which had finally calmed down, fluctuated greatly at this moment.

However, she understood why Xiao He asked the question, so she suppressed her fear and said in a trembling voice, "The playground!"

"These oranges with human faces came from the playground. I heard from the students that a strange orange tree suddenly grew in the playground, and these oranges with human faces are the fruit that grew on that tree."

After listening to the female teacher's account, Xiao He nodded silently.

It turns out that the source of these oranges with human faces was an orange tree that suddenly appeared on the school playground.

If that's the case, then this orange tree could very well be the source of the strange phenomenon.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Xiao He didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he said to the female teacher in a righteous tone, "My colleague and I are going to deal with that orange tree now, so we won't see you off. You can manage on your own, right?"

Hearing this, the female teacher understood that the other party would not personally escort her safely out of the school, and she could not refute their reasoning, since the priority now was indeed to deal with the orange tree.

Thinking of this, the female teacher wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and said firmly, "I can do it."

Actually, once you get here, there's no real danger left.

Those orange-faced people who chased after them were all killed by Jack, who was just a tool.

As long as the female teacher isn't directionally challenged, the process of walking out of the school gate along the main road is safe.

After hearing the female teacher's reply, Xiao He fulfilled the "duty" that a demon hunter should do. Then, ignoring the female teacher who seemed to still be trembling, he picked up Jack, who was reluctant to leave, and left, heading towards the playground.

As for how he knew how to get to the school's playground... he must have asked.

Meanwhile, on his way to the playground, Xiao He's gaze fell on an unusual spot. There was a strange mark on the ground, as if something had been dragged there, and there were traces of blood on it.

Clearly, the only things that could be dragged around in this school were the corpses of students or teachers.

"No wonder we haven't seen many corpses along the way."

Xiao He murmured softly.

I don't know how those human-faced oranges, who can only hop and jump but have no hands or feet, managed to drag those corpses.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao He decided not to waste any more time and continued heading towards the playground.

Before long, he and Jack arrived at the gate of the middle school's playground.

The playground was quiet at this moment, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Upon arriving at the playground, Xiao He and Jack were immediately drawn to a huge orange tree.

"Wow, this tree is huge!"

Jack sounded somewhat surprised.

But what surprised him even more was not just the size of the orange tree.

At this moment, a huge orange tree stood on the school playground.

Its trunk is thick and bright red like blood, its crown is dense, and its leaves are like blades.

The tree was covered with oranges the size of human heads. These oranges not only had the appearance of sleeping faces, but also emitted an enticing fragrance and an evil aura.

At this moment, Xiao He and Jack were staring intently at the orange tree.

After examining it for a while, Xiao He put down the Jack he was carrying.

This action immediately made Jack feel flattered, because it meant that Xiao He would no longer throw him out like a weapon.

"We've finally made it through."

Jack took a deep breath, feeling incredibly relieved.

This means that you have upgraded from a "weapon" to a "colleague".

Just as he showed a relieved expression, Xiao He's voice rang out.

"You just stay here and keep an eye on things; I'll take care of that weirdo."

Upon hearing this, Jack was stunned, feeling quite puzzled.

Is his role merely to act as a cheerleader?

If that's the case, then there will be more opportunities like this in the future.

Thinking of this, Jack immediately nodded, then slipped behind the gate of the playground, revealing half of his furry head as he looked at Xiao He, who seemed somewhat speechless.

"Good luck!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao He, who had originally intended not to ask for help to avoid having his kill stolen, was immediately speechless.

This guy is far too self-righteous.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that this was actually quite good, as it saved him a lot of trouble.

So Xiao He stopped thinking about it and, in the instant he turned and rushed out, his arm transformed into a gleaming, bloody blade.

At the same time, the orange faces that were originally "sleeping" seemed to only now realize that Xiao He was the "intruder," and they all opened their eyes and burst into eerie laughter.

hehehehe...

Hahaha......

quack quack...

Hehehe...

Hehehe...

"Laughing so happily? You'll be crying later."
