Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

It was midday, the sky was a deep, jewel-like blue, and the sun shone with dazzling light.

On the rooftop of a high-rise building, Scorpion and Magician, two cultists, stood side by side at the edge.

"The moment we've been waiting for has arrived, everything is ready, and now it's time to take the final step."

Scorpion's gaze was fixed on the distance, and a hint of anticipation gradually appeared on his originally expressionless face.

However, a chilling and eerie atmosphere inexplicably emanated from around the two of them.

After hearing Scorpion's words, the magician smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out."

As they had said before, regardless of whether the mission would succeed or not, even if it did, the outcome might not be what they expected. But in any case, the magician was still looking forward to what would happen next.

After all, if the mission succeeds and the outcome is as expected, then a brand new era, a completely new age, will appear in this world.

"So what do you think the final result will be? Success or failure?"

The scorpion stared at the azure sky, its gaze deep and heavy.

"have no idea."

The magician smiled slightly, then shook his head and said calmly, "All I know is that before us, others have tried to do this, but without exception, they all failed."

That's because they're all missing something.

Scorpion said solemnly, "Something of paramount importance."

Upon hearing this, the magician fell silent.

After all, he wasn't sure if that thing was actually useful.

At this moment, Scorpion also withdrew his gaze from the silent magician. He then slightly opened his arms, feeling the warm sunlight shining on his body, but his eyes flashed with a cold light.

"It's time to begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Scorpion slowly extended his thick, strong arm, and in his hand he tightly gripped a thumb-sized, seemingly extremely ancient fragment.

The fragment shimmered with an eerie black light, and tiny, strange runes crisscrossed its surface like flowing streams.

At this moment, the surface of this fragment was radiating an indescribable power, making the surrounding air cold and heavy.

Scorpion gently stroked the fragments, sensing the energy contained within, his eyes growing even colder.

Then, without hesitation, he tossed the fragment into the air and threw it off the rooftop.

As it fell from the sky, the fragment began to undergo strange changes. Its originally smooth surface gradually twisted and rippled, and the black light emanating from it became even more dazzling, like evil black hellfire burning.

Suddenly, the fragment emitted a low, faint hum, like the whisper of a demon from the abyss.

At the same time, this seemingly faint rumbling sound resounded like a great bell in some eerie minds, like the death knell of the apocalypse.

As if influenced by this buzzing sound, some strange creatures, even some dead ones, were undergoing inexplicable changes in their remains.

The rotting tree trunks scattered around the school playground suddenly began to tremble, emitting a nauseating stench of decay. The broken dolls scattered on the ground in the store also began to tremble, their broken bodies, which looked as if they had been slashed by some sharp weapon, slowly gathering together like ants.

At the same time, before the hospital staff could clean up the blood and flesh left on the ground, the flesh began to writhe like a worm, making terrifying noises, like the wails of souls from hell.

The broken sculpture in the park also seemed to have been "reborn." The fragments that had been thrown out began to return to their original places under the pull of some force, and recombine into a strange sculpture with a distorted shape and a black glow.

A similar scene appeared again in various corners of the city, but unlike before, whether it was the still-living monsters or the dead monster remains, even if their bodies underwent some unknown changes, without exception, their bodies were gradually emitting a black gas that shot straight into the sky.

the other side.

The fragment that the scorpion had thrown finally landed on the ground. However, unlike the usual way it landed, this fragment made no sound. Instead, it merged into the ground and disappeared without a trace, as if it had been swallowed up by the earth.

In that instant, the world seemed to fall silent, as if the entire world had stopped running.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying sense of oppression enveloped the entire coastal area, making everyone feel a bone-chilling cold. Even the air seemed heavy, making it difficult to breathe.

......

Let's go back in time.

"What's going on?"

Xiao He, standing on the playground of Hongye Middle School, stared in astonishment at the rotting orange tree and the person inside it whom he had sent to meet Buddha with a single blow.

Just now, the orange tree and the person inside it actually moved!

Xiao He originally thought that the other party had a strong vitality and was not completely dead yet.

Despite his repeated examinations, he was now completely certain that the orange tree was eerily strange and that the person inside it was indeed lifeless.

Strangely, ever since the other party suddenly moved, the rate at which it rotted, both the trunk and the body, accelerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, from that point on, the strange energy that had been dissipating from the body after a normal, bizarre death actually flowed back! It returned to their bodies, and most strangely, the orange tree and the person in the tree not only began to exude an aura of "life" again, but their bodies also gradually emitted waves of strange black energy that rose into the sky.

Looking at the other's decaying body and ever-recovering aura, Xiao He fell silent for a moment.

Is it considered dead or alive?

This situation is akin to a decaying corpse that seems to come back to life.

But... something's not right here!

If it really is "coming back to life," then shouldn't the other person's body be "reborn"? Why is it decaying faster instead?

"That's strange."

Xiao He muttered to himself.

Logically speaking, this should be quite normal for something strange to happen to someone like Wei Qi.

However, the current situation is clearly abnormal.

Although Xiao He didn't know what was wrong, his intuition told him that something terrible was about to happen.

Just as Xiao He was frowning and pondering what was wrong, while remaining vigilant against any possible anomalies, the ground suddenly began to tremble slightly, and then the tremors grew stronger and more intense.

With a deafening roar, a deep, dark crack rapidly spread from the center of the playground. Then, chilling black mist surged out of the crack, like venomous miasma from the depths of the earth.

"This is......"

Seeing the black mist gushing out from the cracks, Xiao He's expression changed instantly.

Because he sensed a familiar and somewhat familiar feeling from the black mist, a feeling akin to a fish returning to the sea.

He had only experienced this feeling in one place, and that was... in the world of eerie mist.

This black mist is actually a strange mist!

Moreover, the eerie mist before Xiao He felt even more "real" than the eerie mists he had encountered before.

However, what puzzled Xiao He was that the way these strange mists appeared was different from the one he had encountered before.

Just then, Jack, who had been idly watching from the sidelines and sneaking food, walked up to Xiao He's side. He trembled slightly as he looked at the scene unfolding before him.

"Why did an earthquake suddenly happen out of nowhere? There's never been a earthquake in the history of this coastal area before!"

Even though he had obtained strange powers, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of awe towards the natural disaster that was the earthquake.

At this moment, he also noticed the crack in the ground caused by the earthquake, and the black mist that kept gushing out of the crack. Like Xiao He, he also felt a sense of "fish returning to the sea" from the black mist.

"Huh? What's this? It feels strangely comfortable!"

Driven by instinct, Jack slowly approached the black mist, also known as the eerie mist.

After gaining strange powers, he never came into contact with the mysterious mist.

So his current situation is like that of a fish that is about to die of thirst on the shore suddenly seeing the ocean.

Just as Jack stood at the edge of the crevice, preparing to reach his hand into the gushing, eerie mist, Xiao He's calm voice suddenly rang out.

"This is eerie fog!"

Xiao He's words caused Jack's expression to change instantly, and he was so frightened that he quickly took several steps back.

When he realized that the black mist that made him feel so comfortable was the eerie mist that terrified ordinary people, the comfort it brought him vanished in an instant.

Because all the people of the Alliance knew very well what the appearance of the mysterious fog meant.

That was a disaster far more terrifying than a natural calamity like an earthquake.

at the same time.

Countless cracks appeared in every corner of the city, and the eerie mist surging out from them flooded into every corner of the city like a tide, as if trying to devour everything.

A dark and eerie atmosphere permeated the entire city, and people on the streets instantly fell into panic, fleeing in all directions. Fear and despair spread among them in an instant.

As the cracks rapidly expanded, countless buildings collapsed, and the sounds of crumbling walls and screams echoed throughout every corner of the city.

As the eerie fog rose, darkness gradually enveloped the sky over this coastal city.

In an instant, the people shrouded in darkness all felt a strong sense of foreboding.

Disaster struck!

On the rooftop of the building.

Scorpion and Magician stood on the edge of the rooftop, both looking up at the increasingly dense, dark, eerie mist in the sky, as if it were nurturing something.

"This world will eventually be submerged by this strange ocean, just like the cataclysmic flood in a previous era, bringing devastating disaster to mankind."

"To survive, you either need to change the world and hold the floodwaters to the dam, or you need to change yourself and become part of the flood."

At this point, the scorpion slowly lowered its head, looking down at the scene of panic and chaos below.

"The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, is an age-old truth."

"When this coastal city is completely transformed into a realm of ghosts, you will realize that our cult is right."

It was at this time that the conspiracy of the sorcerers began to emerge.

What they are trying to do is not simply summon the eerie mist like magicians and pull a certain place into the eerie realm projected by the mist. Their real purpose is to create a real eerie realm in the real world, an eerie realm that will exist forever.

However, for the cultists, what they want to do is not just create a ghost realm, but to create a new Eden for humanity.

The so-called new humans are just like them, who have incorporated bizarre cultists.

the other side.

Binhai Ghost Night Division Branch.

The office on the third floor was quiet, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

At this moment, Xue Futu, the head of the branch, was standing in front of the office window, gazing at the eerie fog in the sky. His face was extremely grave, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with worry, because he knew that a huge crisis was gradually spreading.

Why didn't I think of that?

Blood Buddha muttered to himself in self-reproach.

At this moment, he finally guessed what the sorcerers' conspiracy was.

After all, this kind of behavior, which is no less than "creation," has been attempted by many madmen before.

Although those madmen ultimately failed, the disasters they caused were undoubtedly enormous.

The thought that the coastal area under his jurisdiction was about to become the experimental ground for those madmen's creation of the world filled him with extreme anger.

Moreover, he was well aware that this incident would be an unprecedented test for both himself and the coastal city.

Thinking of this, Xue Futu immediately took a deep breath. He knew that the primary task at present was not only to protect the safety of the citizens in the coastal city, but also to interrupt the creation process of those madmen.

Fortunately, the Night Demon's files contained instructions on how to interrupt this process.

However, the method described is not as simple as it seems.

So, Blood Buddha immediately dialed Spider Man's number and gave instructions in a serious tone.

"Take a few people and go there right now..."
