Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

Binhai City.

Chengdong District.

A youth apartment building.

In a room on the seventh floor of an apartment building, two female roommates were watching a recently released horror movie in their bedroom. The movie had received extremely high ratings and was hailed as one of the most chilling masterpieces of the year.

The warm light in the room shone on the two girls, who were comfortably lying on their beds, eating their own popcorn, with ice-cold cola beside them.

As the opening credits roll, the main feature begins.

On the large screen, a chilling scene unfolded: a bizarre monster was chasing a terrified man through a dimly lit, eerie room. Like characters in all horror movies, the man committed a fatal crime: while fleeing, he would occasionally glance back at the monster's trail, and then the next second...

Snapped!

Seeing the monster that suddenly appeared on the screen and the bloody scene that followed, the two timid girls who loved watching horror movies immediately and instinctively blocked their view with their respective popcorn buckets. However, due to the large movement, a lot of the popcorn that was filled to the brim spilled.

At that moment, one of the girls, Xiaolin, immediately exclaimed, "Wow, this monster is terrifying!"

Then, another girl named Xiaoting chimed in, "Yeah, I saw in the comments that part of the movie's rating was for the monster. Apparently, the monster was designed based on some weird appearance."

"Oh, I see."

Xiaolin nodded and then said, "But I think the monster design is secondary. The plot of a good horror movie is the key. I heard that this movie has a lot of plot twists."

Xiaoting nodded, then grabbed a handful of popcorn to calm her nerves.

The two continued watching the horror movie with great interest. Just as the atmosphere in the movie was getting more and more tense, the whole room suddenly shook violently, and then the sky outside suddenly darkened, as if night had fallen. Although the time displayed on the screen was still a little after 2 p.m., Xiaolin and Xiaoting felt an unusual sense of oppression and fear at the same time, and a cold chill crept up their spines.

"Xiao Ting... Xiao Ting, why... why did it suddenly get dark?"

Xiaolin instinctively grabbed Xiaoting's arm and asked in a trembling voice, "Could it really be that unlucky as to have encountered something supernatural?"

Don't be fooled by how comfortably the two of them are in their room, enjoying the air conditioning, watching movies, eating popcorn, and drinking cola. They are actually well aware of what's going on outside.

Not long ago, news reports indicated a sudden surge in bizarre attacks in Binhai City, advising residents to stay indoors and avoid going anywhere. The reports also suggested that if anyone were unlucky enough to encounter such an event, someone would come to their rescue.

So, Xiaolin and Xiaoting, two best friends who happened to be on holiday and resting at home, decided to go see a horror movie together.

They intend to use "magic to defeat magic," attempting to overcome the unknown terror brought about by the known fear brought about by horror movies with the known fear that may appear at any time.

However, the current situation has clearly gone beyond the scope of "magic".

"No... don't worry, it's probably just about to rain. This kind of unusual weather is quite normal at this time of year."

At this moment, Xiaoting's face also turned a little pale, but she still tried to remain calm. After comforting Xiaolin for a while, she swallowed and said, "I'll go to the balcony to see what's going on. If it's raining, I'll bring in the laundry."

However, she avoided the topic of why the house suddenly started shaking throughout.

However, in the current situation, it would be a very unwise choice for the two of them to "separate".

After all, all the horror movies that have been released tell the audience that teammates who are separated will definitely...

But Xiaoting's real purpose was not as simple as wanting to go to the balcony to collect the clothes; she wanted to go to the... bathroom next to the balcony.

After refusing Xiaolin's request to come with her, who was trembling all over, Xiaoting also ran quickly towards the bathroom with trembling legs.

Shortly after, Xiaoting, who was in the bathroom, suddenly felt a cold air seeping in through the window, which made her shiver.

Then, she pushed open the bathroom door, walked to the edge of the balcony, and stared at the increasingly thick black fog outside. It seemed as if the whole world was shrouded in an unknown dark force, with only a sliver of light visible.

Those are emergency streetlights and some car headlights.

Upon seeing this scene, Xiaoting began to feel uneasy, as if an unknown evil power was hidden within the black mist.

Upon first seeing the black mist, Xiaoting didn't immediately think of it as an eerie fog.

Because the Alliance had already provided some relevant training to the citizens, including the way and circumstances in which the mysterious fog would appear.

So in Xiaoting's opinion, these black mists might just be created by some strange entity, even though the area covered by these black mists is very wide, so wide that it makes her feel very uneasy.

"Could we have really encountered something supernatural?"

Standing on the edge of the balcony, Xiaoting stared blankly at the world shrouded in black mist. As the whole house shook again, she quickly discovered the source of the black mist.

When she saw a crack suddenly appear on the road outside her rented apartment, and after "swallowing" several unlucky cars, the crack seemed to have a bad "physiological reaction" after eating, continuously spewing out streams of black mist, she was immediately alarmed.

These cracks don't look like those caused by a typical earthquake.

After a while, under Xiaoting's gaze, the crack in the road began to widen and was heading towards them.

"not good!"

Xiaoting's expression changed upon seeing this.

This is not a good sign.

If this crack extends here, then the building they are in will definitely collapse.

To avoid dying before she even dies at the hands of the supernatural, Xiaoting hurriedly tried to return to her bedroom to call Xiaolin and pack their things to leave.

Just then, a scream suddenly came from the bedroom.

Upon hearing the noise, Xiaoting immediately rushed into the bedroom without hesitation. She opened the bedroom door and saw Xiaolin curled up in bed, covering her mouth in fear, her eyes filled with panic and helplessness.

After seeing that Xiaolin was alright, Xiaoting breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked anxiously.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

At this moment, Xiaolin pointed tremblingly behind Xiaoting.

At that moment, Xiaoting suddenly heard a faint yet chilling sound coming from behind her, as if something was wriggling.

Sensing something was wrong, her expression changed slightly, and she slowly turned around to look. Upon seeing what she saw, fear immediately filled her eyes.

The screen was showing a terrifying scene from a movie, but at that moment, the monster in the movie was slowly crawling out bit by bit.

The monster's body was twisted and deformed, like a demon crawling out of hell.

Moreover, the monster's appearance is almost identical to that in the movie; its skin is as white as snow, covered with dark red blood vessels, and it looks full of evil aura.

Although the monster had not yet completely crawled out of the screen, it was already over two meters tall, with protruding bones on its back forming terrifying bony horns and barbs. Its entire body was covered in translucent scales, and its mermaid-like arms were twisted and contorted, with glimpses of white bones visible inside.

The monster's face was even more terrifying. It had countless twisted eyes, red pupils that glowed crimson in the darkness, and sharp fangs protruded from its mouth, which was as big as a bucket. Bloodstains clung to the corners of its mouth.

If Xiaoting remembers correctly, the bloodstains left at the corner of the monster's mouth came from some unlucky thief in the movie.

But that's not the point right now. The point is... why do monsters from movies appear in the real world?

Fortunately, after experiencing extreme fear, Xiaoting quickly calmed down.

After all, she had already lost all her courage from being scared just now, as if there was nothing left in her stomach to vomit.

So, realizing what was happening, she immediately went to the bedside in the bedroom and tried to pull away Xiaolin, this "pig teammate" who was only shaking her body.

"Quick...hurry up!"

Xiaoting shouted loudly at Xiaolin on the bed, "If you don't leave now, it will be too late!"

Fortunately, the monster hadn't completely emerged from the screen yet, and its movement was incredibly slow. If we acted quickly, we could definitely leave before it came out completely.

However, Xiaolin on the bed seemed to be terrified, curled up in the quilt and not moving at all.

Seeing this, Xiaoting, feeling disappointed and frustrated, immediately slapped the other person.

Snapped!

The searing pain seemed to wake this clueless teammate as well. After hearing Xiaoting's call again, Xiaolin finally reacted, trembling as she rolled off the bed, then muttered to herself, her face pale, "Yes, yes, go, go!"

After saying that, Xiaolin let out a scream for no apparent reason, and then, as if she had been injected with chicken blood, she ignored Xiaoting, who had woken her up, and ran towards the door of the room on her own.

Upon seeing this, Xiaoting's heart sank.

At least wait for her!

However, now was clearly not the time to think about these things, so she immediately suppressed her emotions, ran out of the bedroom, and headed towards the main entrance.

Soon, the two ran to the gate, but when they turned the doorknob and opened the door, they froze on the spot, their hearts pounding uncontrollably.

Because, at the very moment the door opened, the tenant across the hall also opened their door.

Then Xiaolin and Xiaoting saw that their neighbor, whom they usually wouldn't say much to, was now filled with fear. The next second, an arm covered in translucent scales, like a mermaid's, suddenly stretched out and smashed his head, just like a scene from a movie.

After the headless body slowly fell to the ground, the two sisters could clearly see that the horror movie was playing on the television in the other's living room.

Just then, a familiar monster slowly poked its head out from the neighbor's house, staring intently at the two sisters.

However, before Xiaoting could "suddenly realize" what was happening and was about to abandon her useless teammate and run away on her own, a sound like a goat chewing suddenly rang out behind them.

Having seen the movie, the two naturally understood what the appearance of this voice meant.

The monster from the bedroom has come out!

"Small......"

At this moment, Xiaolin, looking completely bewildered, instinctively tried to grab Xiaoting's arm, but then...

Snapped!

Xiaoting's head exploded.

Xiaolin, her face splattered with blood, stood there blankly, motionless.

She wasn't just scared out of her wits, she was scared to death!

However, that monster doesn't care whether you're dead or alive. In the movie, the thing this monster likes to do most is... headshots.

Snapped!

......

Meanwhile, ever since the coastal area was shrouded in a mysterious fog, the city has been plunged into panic and chaos.

The people were terrified by the sudden appearance of the eerie fog and fled in panic. A sense of fear permeated the streets of the city. However, the appearance of the eerie fog was only the beginning.

Soon, the people who were fleeing in all directions suddenly discovered that some monsters that originally only existed in horror movies were appearing in various corners of the city.

The most classic and familiar of them is a monster called "zombie".

At this moment, these rotting, bloody creatures, which originally only existed in movies, were chasing after the unfortunate citizens who encountered them in hordes. The zombie horde howled hoarsely, their empty eyes filled with a thirst for blood.

Besides zombies, similar monsters include vampires, ghouls, and even a werewolf howling at the dark sky.

In addition, even the monsters that were once used by the older generation to deceive children have come out of the "fairy tales".

These monsters became as real and terrifying as a nightmare.

With ugly faces, twisted bodies, and chilling smiles, they roam the city streets, waiting for their prey.

In an instant, the screams of terror and desperate cries for help mingled together, creating a symphony of death.

However, what was a devastating disaster for ordinary people was, in someone's eyes, a "hunting feast".

Because these monsters that appeared were genuinely eerie, exuding a strange aura!

"So, it's my turn to perform?"
