Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

Swish!

With a flash of light and a cold glint, a head with a ferocious expression flew off.

A putrid and eerie black stench of blood gushed from the neck, and the headless corpse fell to the ground with a muffled thud.

Thus, the so-called future zombie king that Jack described as coming out of the movie perished.

Even Jack could defeat the Zombie King, so how could he possibly be a match for Xiao He? Furthermore, Xiao He had already expended a lot of energy controlling the horde of zombies, making it even more impossible for him to defeat Xiao He.

Sure enough, Xiao He simply swung his sword, and before the opponent could even defend himself, Xiao He beheaded him.

If he remembered correctly, the best way to kill a zombie was to behead it.

As his arm returned to its normal state, Xiao He slowly withdrew his gaze from the headless corpse on the ground.

He then ignored Jack's somewhat speechless expression and looked up at the street shrouded in eerie fog.

No one knows how many strange monsters are hidden in the pitch-black depths of the eerie fog.

However, those bizarre monsters that instilled fear and despair in ordinary people filled Xiao He with immense anticipation.

After all, to him, those were walking, "wild" and bizarre cards.

And now, these wild and bizarre cards are waiting for him.

Thinking of this, Xiao He gazed at the eerie mist not far away, waved to Jack behind him, and said, "Let's go, the road ahead is still long."

The entire coastal area is now shrouded in eerie fog, making it easy to lose one's way. Even navigation software has become ineffective. Although Xiao He has a map that Zheng Hao gave him before leaving, he may still get lost in this thick fog, as the eerie energy contained within it is constantly increasing, and Xiao He's perception is gradually being affected by the fog's power.

After hearing Xiao He's words, Jack could only put away his helpless expression and sullenly followed Xiao He's steps. However, what Jack did not notice was that when they passed the headless corpse of the zombie king, Xiao He subconsciously glanced back, his eyes filled with a meaningful look.

After the two walked away, the street, which had been filled with a somber atmosphere, became quiet and deserted again.

Suddenly, a figure gradually emerged from the eerie mist and then slowly drifted toward the headless body of the zombie king.

......

Next, on their way to the hospital, Xiao He and Jack were attacked by several more strange creatures. These creatures were monsters familiar from movies, such as vampires and zombies, as well as a fast and somewhat troublesome werewolf.

Each time, Xiao He skillfully directed Jack to launch an attack to eliminate the threats and also rescued several unfortunate passersby.

Although these people strongly expressed their willingness to go with Xiao He to the hospital that seemed to be more dangerous, Xiao He politely declined them all.

Just kidding, how could he possibly bring these burdens along? One Jack is enough. At least Jack can act as a tool to deal with some strange things encountered on the road, allowing Xiao He to be a "hands-off manager".

But what use are these people?

Although Xiao He and Jack are both guardians of the Binhai Ghost Night Division, they should theoretically be protecting the innocent bystanders who survived the bizarre events.

However, whether for public or private reasons, Xiao He could find no reason to bring these people along.

For the public good, their mission was to go to a hospital to support the Ghost Keepers there, not to rescue those trapped in the Ghost Mist; that rescue mission was the responsibility of the logistics team.

On a personal level, these people had no connection with Xiao He, so why would he invite trouble upon himself?

Moreover, even Jack, who was standing nearby, agreed with Xiao He's approach.

After some initial exploration, he figured out that there were only a few strange creatures on each street, much like wild animals dividing up their territory. Now that the strange creatures on this street had been dealt with, there shouldn't be any new strange creatures appearing in the short term.

These people are safe as long as they stay here.

Moreover, according to the usual pattern, the more people there are, the bigger the target becomes, and the more strange things will be attracted.

Moreover, no one could predict whether the strange creature they were about to encounter would be just another "noob" like the ones they had encountered before.

Therefore, bringing along these ordinary people who have no fighting ability is not a wise choice for either Xiao He or Jack.

In other words, there are still many people trapped in the mysterious fog, but Xiao He and Jack alone cannot rescue them all.

Compared to the others, these ordinary people were already incredibly lucky to have encountered Xiao He and Jack passing by.

However, these few passersby, who were almost scared out of their wits, did not think that way. They felt that since Xiao He and Jack had saved them, they had to take full responsibility for them and protect their safety.

Even though Xiao He said expressionlessly, "We have a mission to complete and it's inconvenient for us to protect you," it still failed to awaken the last vestiges of reason in these people's hearts.

One of the women, who was slightly "plump," insisted, "I don't care. If you leave us here, I'll complain about you two ghost hunters."

When Xiao He first instructed Jack to take action, he had already revealed his identity as a Ghost Master to these people in advance, so that they would not mistakenly believe that they were also the strange beings that appeared in the Ghost Mist, even though they were indeed strange beings.

But now it seems we shouldn't have saved those ungrateful wretches.

Furthermore, these people seem unaware that the Ghost Keepers are different from ordinary patrol members; they are not afraid of complaints at all.

Originally, after seeing that these people were still being aggressive, Xiao He planned to ignore them and turn around and leave with Jack. However, as soon as the "sharp-eyed" old lady saw Xiao He's "giving up" behavior, she immediately grabbed Xiao He's arm like a shrew and refused to let him go.

If a beautiful woman were hugging him like this, Xiao He might not have reacted much, but now...

"I'm giving you one last chance. Let go of my hand."

Xiao He glanced coldly at the middle-aged woman who was still muttering things like "I'm going to complain about you," his eyes filled with icy coldness.

At this moment, the people around who were originally "watching the show" seemed to realize that something was wrong and began to persuade the old lady to "just let it go" or "we should find a place to hide" and so on.

Unfortunately, this old lady seemed to have cotton stuffed in her ears, pretending not to hear anything. Instead, like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, she still shamelessly clung to Xiao He's arm.

Seeing this, Xiao He's last bit of patience was worn away by the other party's actions. Then, with a "slight" effort, he flung the old woman who was clinging to his arm away, and she eventually crashed into a wall and passed out.

With Xiao He's current control over strength, he could already do whatever it took to knock someone unconscious or kill them.

Seeing this, Jack hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

After all, that old lady really brought this trouble upon herself.

Those who were still conscious immediately shut their mouths after seeing Xiao He's actions, no longer begging him to take them away.

After giving those people a cold glance, Xiao He ignored them and turned to leave with Jack.

Those who remained exchanged glances, then looked around at the world shrouded in eerie mist. They immediately became alert and quickly hid in a nearby house. Among them, only one person was willing to carry away the old woman who had "gone the chance" for them.

the other side.

Xiao He and Jack walked silently down the deserted street, clearly their "good mood" had been severely affected by what had just happened.

Who could have imagined that the human heart could be so complex?

Although Jack, a former private investigator, knew the saying "you can't judge a book by its cover" and had experienced many similar incidents, it was still unsettling to go through something similar again.

Even Xiao He, who always prided himself on being "ruthless," was no exception.

He thought to himself that he shouldn't have let Jack rescue the old woman from the monster's mouth.

Just as the two were lost in their own thoughts, as they passed an intersection, a deep roar suddenly rang out from not far away.

Roar!

Upon noticing the commotion, the two immediately stopped and listened carefully to the direction from which the roar came. Xiao He then took out a map and compared it with the map, discovering that the sound seemed to be coming from their only route.

After putting away the map, he glanced down at Jack, who had looked up, and after exchanging a look, the two of them walked in the direction from which the roar came.

The closer they got, the clearer the roar became, so clear that Xiao He could feel the malice contained within it.

Soon, the two who had been following the sound found the source of the deep roar.

As the two approached, they could see a monster lurking around in front of a warehouse-like gate.

Its skin was as white as snow, and it appeared to be covered with dark red blood vessels, giving it an aura of evil.

The monster appeared to be three or four meters tall. Its back bones protruded, forming terrifying bony horns and barbs resembling fish fins. Its entire body was covered with translucent scales similar to fish scales. Its arms, which resembled a combination of human and fish, were twisted and deformed, revealing the white bones beneath.

This monster, which seemed to have crawled ashore from the deep sea, had a twisted face covered with countless distorted eyes. Its blood-red pupils seemed to be emitting a scarlet light. When it opened its mouth to growl, it revealed fangs that were even sharper than those of some kind of deep-sea monster.

"They look so alike, so incredibly alike."

After observing the monster for a while, Jack, who was hiding to the side, suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face.

Xiao He: "..."

For some reason, he felt like the other person had said those words somewhere before.

Before Xiao He could ask Jack about the monster's origins, the latter readily explained, "A new horror movie was recently released, and the monster in it is..."

As he spoke, Jack pointed to the monster that was wandering around.

Come to think of it, that monster clearly looked like a deep-sea mermaid, but at this moment it was more like a hunting dog, constantly sniffing at something.

Then, Jack, who seemed to have watched the movie on a pirated website, continued to explain the origin of the monster.

Almost like most horror and disaster movies, it involves someone building a laboratory on the ocean floor, which leads to an unknown creature discovered deep in the ocean undergoing a mutation, eventually unfolding a series of thrilling and terrifying events within the laboratory.

Upon hearing this, Xiao He was speechless.

What kind of nonsense is this?!

He then glanced at Jack and asked unhurriedly, "Get to the point, what are that monster's abilities?"

Although the eerie aura emanating from that monster is similar to that of Jack, it would be troublesome if the monster's abilities happened to counter Jack's.

This means that... Xiao He will have to take action himself.

Since Jack became a tool, Xiao He has started to "lay down".

If he were to take action, it would be quite "troublesome" for him.

Fortunately, according to Jack, the monster's abilities are still at the "physical" level, so they should be able to handle it. As for whether they can win, we'll only know after the fight.

At this point, Xiao He and Jack exchanged another "tacit" glance. Then, Jack scurried towards the monster. During this process, his doll's body swelled up again, its muscles bulging, gradually transforming into a bloodthirsty and savage bear, like a wild beast unleashing its power.

At that moment, the monster also noticed Jack's appearance, its blood-red eyes fixed on him.

It was at this time that...

Bang!

A loud thud of something heavy falling suddenly echoed from the warehouse behind the monster.

The moment it heard the sound, the not-so-intelligent monster immediately realized that the two little fish were hiding inside!

However, there was no time to pay attention to the two small fish and shrimp, because a "big fish" the same size as himself was "swimming" towards them.

The next second, Jack, who had already transformed, let out a roar that sounded like a show of defiance at the monster.

"roar!"
