Excessive ferocity due to caution

The group headed to the basement. Zhao Yi took the ghost security guard's shovel from Wen Long and brandished it as if he were a great general.

The two people beside him moved away from him, afraid that something strange might splash on them.

Furthermore, Wen Long was frowning.

"That older woman said the warehouse manager has a terrible temper. Would it be... risky for us to just barge in there like this?"

Unlike the elderly, they were inevitably hesitant and restrained when facing ghosts without having redeemed the various enhancements available in the premium shop.

Wen Long bought some talismans and incense from the low-level shop, but these things had very limited ability to restrict ghosts.

If the administrator is a ghost of the same level as the ghost security guard, then they are most likely doomed.

"The truth is quite the opposite."

Zhao Yi explained.

"If you knew who was spying on us, you would understand that the underground warehouse was actually the safest place."

Mentioning the surveillance personnel brought a wave of lingering fear to their faces.

They carefully observed their surroundings throughout the journey, but did not discover the person monitoring them.

Could it be a security camera?

But... this dilapidated train station has very few security cameras.

Although they were curious, they did not ask further, because Zhao Yi had said that he could not reveal the identity of the monitor for the time being.

Once it's spoken, it will awaken.

Darkness surged like an undercurrent. Just as the group was heading towards the underground warehouse, a deafening roar came from the southeast corner of the upper floor!

Upon hearing this terrifying roar, the three of them immediately stopped in their tracks, with Bai Shuiji and Wen Long feeling a chill run down their spines!

"Wh...what was that sound?!"

The two of them stared intently at the stairs at the other end of the platform not far behind them!

Zhao frowned, then suddenly spoke seriously to Wen Long, who reeked of feces:

"It's almost time."

"You'd better get back onto the train right now, the sooner the better!"

Wen Long was completely baffled.

"Am I... all alone?"

Zhao nodded, handed the "stirring stick" back to the bewildered Wen Long, then quickly pulled out the "Destroyer" and handed it to Wen Long, saying in a serious tone:

"The ghost security guard is awake."

"You just stripped him of his clothes, stole his big stick, and even plucked his nose hairs... He won't let you off now. Only the rules can save your life. Hurry back to the station, take the ghost candle, take off your clothes, and return everything to him."

"Oh, and remember... whatever you do, leave some ghost candles, as many as you can! Don't let them use them all!"

"Here, take this hunting rifle."

"If you want to live, do as I say!"

Wen Long was stunned when he heard this.

Depend on!

These despicable things were clearly done by you!

Also, why leave ghost candles?

However, upon seeing the terrifying shadow at the stairwell, Wen Long didn't even have time to speak before turning tail and running away.

He ran while shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Zhao Yi, you old bastard!"

"You fucking tricked me!"

"After you die, I'm going to your grave and steal all the offerings you made!"

It was only at this moment that Wen Long realized he had been tricked by Zhao Yi!

The clothes don't fit?

That's utter bullshit!

This brat clearly anticipated that the ghost security guard would wake up, which is why he made himself wear it!

Fortunately, he was also a man who liked sports, and at this moment he was moving very fast. The ghost security guard, who was wearing only a pair of shorts, chased after him like crazy, but he couldn't catch up with him for a while!

"ah!!!"

The ghost security guard's eyes were bloodshot, and countless sharp spikes grew on his body. His blood flowed faster due to anger. He swept past Zhao Yi and Bai Shuiji, leaving a trail of foul wind, completely ignoring Zhao Yi and Bai Shuiji beside him.

Now his hatred has completely fallen on Wen Long!

It watched porn until late last night and then went to the men's restroom to do some unseen activities. It was planning to get a good night's sleep to recharge today, but when it woke up, it found that it was... damn, it was only wearing its underwear!

He has been wandering around this place for so many years, and he has always been the one bullying other ghosts. When has he ever been bullied by other ghosts like this?

The damn security guard couldn't stand it!

He was determined to catch that person and reclaim his dignity!

As the two watched Wen Long and the ghost security guard disappear into the darkness, Bai Shuiji couldn't help but ask:

Will he die?

Zhao Yi touched his chin.

"Theoretically, no."

"Although the Ghost Security Guard is very powerful, his movement speed is just so-so."

"The ghost candles we have only have a one-hour burn time. Within that hour, we must get all the preparations in order..."

"Once the train starts moving, we won't have a chance to make up for any mistakes."

He and Bai Shuiji quickly headed to the underground warehouse, the ghost candles in their hands gradually shortening.

At that moment, Shiraiji suddenly noticed the ground... which seemed somewhat sticky.

That feeling was like stepping into bloody mud.

She didn't dare look down to see what she had stepped on. Following the directions on the map, she and Zhao Yi crossed the lobby and took the escalator to the basement.

On the far left of the narrow corridor, there is a door locked with chains.

Bai Shuiji peered through the crack in the door.

Apart from a large number of display shelves and dusty floors, there seemed to be no one around.

Just as she was about to retreat, a pair of rotting, ghostly faces suddenly appeared in Bai Shuiji's eyes. She screamed and took several steps back, falling to the ground with a thud!

Bai Shuiji raised his hand, pointed to the crack in the door, and said in a daze:

"A ghost...there's a ghost!"

Zhao Yi went to the crack in the door but didn't find anything.

So he knocked on the door.

Bang bang bang!

The muffled sound was particularly jarring in the empty and dark basement.

Bai Shuiji felt a chill run through him. He quickly stood up, leaning against Zhao Yi's back, and warily watched his surroundings, afraid that some twisted thing might appear in the darkness and snatch him away.

"Is someone...is there a ghost?"

Zhao Yibin was very polite.

Clang!

The chains on the iron gate swayed, making a dull thud. A cold wind inexplicably blew in through the crack in the gate, and a strange, old voice echoed like the sound of an abyss.

"roll!"

"You are not welcome here... nor is your master!"

Zhao Yi put down the ghost candle and put it directly into his inventory.

He pressed his face against the crack in the door:

"We are not that guy's slaves."

"We are outsiders."

As soon as Zhao finished speaking, that terrifying ghost face reappeared by the door!

However, this time he was facing Zhao Yi.

……

[Warehouse Ghost: Neutral]

[Weakness: None]

[Note: This is an extremely powerful demon, but it dislikes causing trouble. The only way to kill it is to defeat it head-on!]

……

Zhao Yi looked at the data on the ghost face in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

It was exactly as he had guessed.

—Warehouse Ghost, Neutral.

After he learned what the thing secretly monitoring them was, and with the help of the overhead electronic map that only had data marked on it, Zhao Yi roughly understood where the key location of the mission was.

Asking the cleaner about the location of the diesel fuel was just to confirm my guess.

"An outsider?"

The warehouse ghost squinted its blood-red eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the door.

"Come in and speak."

Unlike the ghosts outside, he did not reject living people.

The two entered the warehouse, where the ghost locked its door and led Zhao Yi and the other to a small open space.

By the light of the ghost candle, Bai Shuiji saw that the body of the ghost in front of him was actually a rusty tin box.

In the distance, some relatively fresh corpses lay scattered about.

"You're not the first people to come looking for me."

"What a pity..."

The warehouse ghost rolled a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and started smoking it by himself.

"Don't worry, we're the last batch."

Zhao Yi flashed a bright smile.

The warehouse ghost chuckled.

"You want diesel fuel, right?"

"Just take it yourself."

His easygoing nature made Bai Shuiji, standing to the side, feel much warmer in the cold underground warehouse.

Zhao Yi said earnestly:

"We need more than just diesel fuel."

"I need your help!"

The warehouse ghost gave a cold laugh:

Why should I help you?

Zhao Yi:

Don't you want to leave here?

The warehouse ghost shook his head.

"No one can leave here."

"Although it spends most of its time hibernating, it's keeping a watchful eye on things."

Zhao Yi raised the ghost candle in his hand and replied:

"There's still a chance before the candle burns out!"

The warehouse ghost fell into a subtle silence.

Bai Shuiji, standing to the side, listened to their conversation like a fool, completely unable to understand a word they said.

To this day, she still doesn't know who this "it" they're talking about is...
