Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

Xiao He's voice echoed across the entire playground, and after hearing his "arrogant" tone, the orange-faced figures seemed to be enraged, no longer emitting eerie laughter, but instead letting out strange screams.

The next second, as if receiving a signal, the orange tree began to shake violently. Then, countless oranges with human faces fell from the tree, crashing to the ground with terrifying thuds.

The oranges with human faces lying on the ground looked densely packed, each resembling a blood-soaked, malevolent-looking dead head.

Then, these orange-faced creatures seemed to transform into soldiers, lining up in formation and assuming a battle-ready stance. Their eyes were fierce, their fangs sharp, and they all let out a terrifying, deep roar.

"interesting."

Upon seeing this, Xiao He immediately wore a thoughtful expression.

Since these orange-faced creatures can arrange themselves into formations like the soldiers in Martial Era, it means that there is definitely a sentient being hiding behind them.

Thinking of this, Xiao He subconsciously looked at the orange tree that had given birth to countless oranges with human faces.

It was obvious that the strangely shaped orange tree possessed at least human-like intelligence. However, what Xiao He couldn't understand was that even the Knocking Ghost, whose ability was almost heaven-defying, didn't have much intelligence. How could the orange tree not far away, which hadn't caused him much of a sense of danger, possess intelligence?

Just as Xiao He was pondering, the orange-faced creatures that had been arranged in an attack formation seemed to have received another order and swiftly launched towards him. They bounced incessantly like bouncy balls stretched by rubber bands, making eerie splashing sounds as they hit the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao He didn't think twice. He moved and charged towards the leaping orange-faced creatures. The flesh-and-blood blade in his hand gleamed with a blinding cold light under the sunlight.

War is imminent.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao He was engaged in battle with those orange-faced creatures.

Those bouncy, orange-faced creatures opened their mouths, revealing sharp teeth, and launched an attack on Xiao He. They tried to tear the intruder in front of them into pieces or suck him dry with their sharp teeth.

However, their "biting" speed is not as fast as Xiao He's "slashing" speed.

At this moment, the agile Xiao He soared into the air, continuously wielding his flesh-and-blood blade. Each attack precisely struck a human-faced orange. Now, his movements were as nimble as a cheetah, constantly weaving among the human-faced oranges.

Looking at those fearless people who still rushed forward one after another to take a bite out of him, Xiao He's eyes were calm and his expression was extremely relaxed.

These people with orange faces can bully ordinary people, but if they face him, a "battle-hardened" master of ghosts, they'll only be bullied by him.

Right now, Xiao He is using these human-faced oranges to amuse himself, playing a real-life version of Fruit Ninja.

At that moment, a "brutal" massacre was taking place on the school playground.

One by one, the orange-faced creatures with bizarre and terrifying expressions rushed to their deaths like fearless soldiers. In no time, a large number of these creatures had died under Xiao He's flesh and blood blades, leaving the ground littered with their corpses and black liquid that reeked of stench.

Even though Xiao He was very careful, he couldn't avoid getting splashed with the foul-smelling black liquid.

In fact, with his strength, he should have been able to "kill without getting blood on his hands" long ago, but... there were just too many of those orange-faced people.

Although he didn't have any wounds on his body at this moment, he looked almost the same as Jack before, with black liquid covering parts of his body.

However, Xiao He would not be like Jack and would not eat a bite of this black liquid that smelled bad but tasted good.

at the same time.

Hiding behind the playground gate, Jack's mouth watered at the sight of so much "delicious" black liquid.

Only those who have tasted these "delicacies" will know just how delicious they are.

"How about... we go get something to eat?"

Upon seeing the orange face closest to him, two beams of blue light flashed in Jack's eyes.

It wasn't because he was greedy; rather, he was hiding perfectly well when he was accidentally targeted by a certain orange-faced person, so he had no choice but to retaliate.

"Yes, that's right, that's it."

Thinking about this, Jack suddenly felt that his "encounter" was quite reasonable.

He glanced at Xiao He, who was just like himself before, being overwhelmed by a group of orange faces, then looked at the orange face closest to him on the far side, and a knowing smile appeared on his lips.

the other side.

Just as Jack saw, Xiao He, who was already submerged in orange faces, couldn't help but frown.

There are so many of these orange-faced people that he can't kill them all; they seem endless.

and many more?

Endless?

Just then, Xiao He finally realized that something was wrong.

Although that orange tree looked much larger than ordinary orange trees, there's still a limit to how many oranges bearing human faces should be on it. By now, they should all be dead, how could they possibly be...?

Thinking of this, Xiao He's heart stirred. While wielding his flesh-and-blood blade to kill one human-faced orange after another, he also began to pay attention to the surrounding situation and the changes in the orange tree not far away.

He soon discovered something.

As these human-faced oranges fell one after another, the black liquid symbolizing their flesh and blood also fell to the ground, being absorbed by the land beneath Xiao He's feet at a visible speed.

However, this situation is clearly abnormal; the absorption rate is too fast.

Just then, Xiao He noticed through the gaps between the oranges that resembled human faces that the orange tree not far away was also producing oranges with human faces at a visible speed. However, these oranges were no longer the size of an adult's head, but rather looked about the size of a seven or eight-year-old child.

Upon seeing this scene, Xiao He suddenly realized something, his expression shifted slightly, and he subconsciously uttered a sentence.

"Another self-produced and self-sold guy."

As soon as he finished speaking...

On the other hand, in order to avoid being discovered by Xiao He for "stealing food," Jack specially used the "Beautiful Bear Trick" to lure a human-faced orange behind the playground gate.

At this moment, he had transformed into a terrifying bear once again, and then slapped the "ignorant" orange face to pieces. Looking at the black liquid flowing out from between his fingers, Jack's eyes immediately revealed the light of a glutton.

But just as he was about to savor the "delicious" food in his hand, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if someone was "concerned" about him.

"What happened?"

Jack shivered involuntarily, and although he had some doubts, he immediately put them aside when he saw the delicious food in his hand.

After all, food is the most important thing, no matter how big the world is.

Let's eat first and talk about it later.

Even when Jack was working as a private investigator, he was already a complete foodie.

After being transformed into a brown bear doll, he seemed to be twisted by some force, his thoughts and ideas gradually becoming those of a real bear.

The scene shifts back to Xiao He's side.

Xiao He, who originally planned to eliminate these human-faced oranges before dealing with the orange tree, immediately changed his strategy after discovering that the other party was "producing and selling its own oranges".

After all, he couldn't possibly be so foolish as to kill some useless human-faced oranges here, even if the process was quite easy.

It felt like going back to my childhood, playing outside all day and coming home covered in mud.

With that thought in mind, Xiao He also put aside his thoughts.

He swiftly dodged and weaved, his flesh-and-blood blade dancing in his hand, instantly transforming into a "bootleg" storm of blades, slicing all the orange-faced people surrounding him in half.

In an instant, a large area around Xiao He was cleared out.

Taking advantage of the gap before the oranges with human faces could "fill in," Xiao He passed through the oranges that surrounded him with extraordinary speed. After breaking out of the encirclement, he once again ran at lightning speed toward the orange tree that was standing still like a target.

His steps were like a phantom, leaving those who tried to stop him far behind.

At the same time, the orange tree seemed to sense the threat from Xiao He. It began to shake its trunk, trying to shake off the oranges bearing human faces, attempting to stop Xiao He's advance.

However, this batch of face-shaped oranges does not seem to be fully ripe yet; they are only about the size of an adult's fist, smaller than the previous batch of face-shaped oranges.

There's an old saying that goes something like this: short and concise.

However, this statement clearly cannot be applied to the current situation.

Even the earliest batch of orange-faced creatures the size of an adult's head were no match for Xiao He, so these "underdeveloped" orange-faced creatures were even less of a match for him.

Some of the oranges with human faces bounced a few times when they were shaken to the ground, then seemed to wilt and remained motionless.

At this moment, the orange tree seemed to have noticed the situation as well, so it abandoned its action and instead tugged at its branches and waved its canopy, attempting to attack Xiao He.

Sure enough, those branches twisted and turned as nimbly as snakes, almost entangled Xiao He several times. But Xiao He was incredibly agile, not only dodging each attack with ease, but also wielding his flesh-and-blood blade to cut the branches one by one.

"It's my turn."

At this moment, Xiao He had also arrived in front of the orange tree. He aimed at the trunk of the orange tree and quickly slashed down with his flesh-and-blood blade, trying to cut down the orange tree like a tree cutter.

boom!

With a loud bang, the bark of the orange tree cracked where it had been struck, and leaves and some "underdeveloped" oranges with human-shaped faces fell to the ground.

However, this cut did not "cut the orange tree in two".

Upon seeing this, Xiao He frowned almost imperceptibly.

The orange tree seemed to be harder than he had expected.

However, his furrowed brows quickly relaxed.

If one cut doesn't work, then two cuts; if two cuts don't work, then three or four cuts.

With that in mind, Xiao He continued chopping at the trunk of the orange tree until the last strike, when he exerted all his strength and the blade instantly pierced through the trunk.

Click!

As the sound of a branch snapping rang out, Xiao He successfully cleaved the orange tree in two.

Just then, the oranges with human faces on the orange tree let out a painful groan, as if they knew their fate was about to be sealed.

At the same time, Xiao He originally planned to carefully observe the orange tree he had chopped down before going forward to "touch the corpse," but when he focused his eyes, a scene that shocked him appeared before him, making him feel a chill inexplicably.

Inside the orange tree, a man suddenly appeared.

His face was as pale as paper, his lips were dry and cracked, and his body was twisted and deformed, making him look thin and haggard.

At this moment, the man was entwined with branches, his body seemingly perfectly integrated with the orange tree. Branches pierced through his back like sharp thorns, then extended out of his body, as if he were also a part of the orange tree.

"A victim, or..."

Upon seeing this, Xiao He immediately frowned.

However, through the gaps in the branches wrapped around the man, he saw that the man seemed to be wearing a security guard's uniform, and that the uniform had a badge and two names on it—"Red Leaf".

And Red Leaf is the name of this middle school, which means this person...

"Is he a security guard at this school?"

Xiao He muttered to himself.

Thinking about this, he subconsciously felt that the other party might just be an innocent security guard who was unlucky enough to be dragged into this bizarre attack.

Just then, the man barely raised his head, looked at Xiao He with slightly dim eyes, and said in a weak and hoarse voice, "My strength is not even one-thousandth of that person's, yet I was able to hold you off for so long. It seems that the ghost controllers of your Binhai Ghost Night Division are nothing special."

The man's weak voice was full of sarcasm and provocation.

"This is not over yet. Victory will ultimately belong to our cult, you..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the man's voice suddenly stopped.

Xiao He slowly withdrew the sharp blade from the other man's flesh, then said expressionlessly, "I don't know if this is over or not, but I do know that you are 'over' now."

As the man's body went limp, his last breath of life gradually faded away.

At the same time, as the man died completely, the orange tree trembled slightly, then began to wither rapidly, gradually decaying and turning black in an instant.

This also means that the bizarre attacks at the high school have come to an end.

But Xiao He knew in his heart, just as the man had said before he died.

This is not over yet.
