Candy Amusement Park

"Sure enough, I had to wait until midnight."

Wang Ye looked at the wooden door that had appeared out of nowhere, a thoughtful glint flashing through his eyes as he muttered to himself.

"Finally, I'm going to awaken a superhuman ability."

A ripple stirred Wang Ye's normally tranquil heart. He felt somewhat nervous, but quickly regained his composure, pushed open the wooden door, and returned to the Post Office.

At the front desk.

A pair of blood-red gloves lay quietly on the desk.

Beside the gloves was a familiar note, with several lines of writing appearing on it.

"Put the gloves on to awaken a hand ability."

"Next delivery time: seven days later."

Wang Ye nodded thoughtfully. "Sure enough, every delivery is seven days apart."

Taking a deep breath, Wang Ye fixed his gaze on the gloves.

The dark-red gloves were covered in crimson lines resembling human veins, faintly glowing red.

They looked less like gloves and more like a hand that had been stripped of its skin and bones.

With a solemn expression, Wang Ye picked up the gloves.

Sure enough, they felt like flesh. Wang Ye could even sense that the veins on the gloves seemed to be pulsing rhythmically.

Determination flashed in Wang Ye's eyes as he put the gloves on without hesitation.

The next second, the veins on the gloves pricked lightly into Wang Ye's hands like countless tiny needles.

Then the gloves emitted a faint red glow, their veins gradually brightening. Wang Ye's blood flowed along those veins into the gloves, then returned to his hands, forming cycle after cycle.

Wang Ye's face instantly turned pale, and the intense pain in his hands left his face drenched in sweat.

At last, Wang Ye could not help letting out a pained roar.

Within this eerie Post Office, only Wang Ye's roars echoed endlessly.

Half an hour later, the pain in his hands gradually eased and disappeared. Wang Ye looked as though he had been pulled from the water, his clothes completely soaked.

Wang Ye tremblingly raised his hands. At some point, the gloves had vanished, and he could clearly feel that his hands were now different from before.

It seemed...

After closing his eyes and sensing them for a moment, Wang Ye suddenly opened them.

"Three abilities?"

Under normal circumstances, most superhumans awakened only one ability after awakening a body part.

A small number of extraordinarily gifted people, like Zhang Kai, could possess two.

Those with three were practically the most monstrous of monsters.

After all, every additional ability greatly increased one's strength. In the later stages, many people who had awakened three body parts possessed only three abilities in total.

As he silently felt out the abilities of his hands, a smile appeared at the corner of Wang Ye's mouth.

Finally...

When facing Supernatural Incidents, he would have confidence of his own. No matter how exceptional a fighting technique was, it could never replace that.

Returning to his room, Wang Ye collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.

Morning.

A ringing phone woke Wang Ye.

Seeing the number displayed on the screen, Wang Ye frowned slightly.

Zhou Han.

He answered, and a familiar sweet voice came through.

"My dear little operator, it's time to work~"

"Talk."

Wang Ye quickly sobered up, got out of bed, poured himself a glass of water, and spoke indifferently.

"Sure enough, that cold tone again." Zhou Han's voice was full of grievance.

"But this time, we'll get to meet and work together. I finally have the chance to twist your head off, hehe."

Then, as though she had thought of something, Zhou Han's tone became filled with excitement, and she could not help laughing. Yet beneath that sweet laughter was a trace of sinister chill.

"I need the information and the address."

Wang Ye paused before speaking.

Logically speaking, Logistics Department personnel did not need to carry out missions on the front lines, because most Logistics Department members were ordinary people.

Or rather...

Wang Ye continuously recalled the Heaven Group's current situation, as well as that mysterious minister.

For a moment, Wang Ye seemed to understand.

It seemed...

He had ambitions of his own?

Reform?

Or something else?

As for the precise answer, perhaps he could only slowly uncover it during this mission.

For a moment, Wang Ye became somewhat interested.

"Go watch the news yourself. But you only have thirty minutes, you know. If you're late, I'll have more than enough reason to dismember you and put you back together again~"

"I'm really looking forward to it."

Wang Ye hung up without hesitation, turned on his computer, inserted the USB drive, and began searching.

Sure enough, the latest information on the website's homepage concerned this so-called "Crying Ghost."

"Codename: Crying Ghost."

"Address: Candy Playground, Shangjing City."

"Killing pattern: currently unknown."

"It possesses a signal-blocking magnetic field that covers the entire amusement park, accompanied by illusionary fog. Ordinary investigators quickly lose their way after entering. Only crying can be faintly heard."

"The amusement park happened to be closed for maintenance, so there were no visitors. However, fifty-two staff members are trapped inside. The death toll is unknown."

Looking at the information on the computer, Wang Ye fell into thought.

"A Level 2 ghost domain?"

They were still in the early stages after Eternal Night, and everyone was relatively inexperienced. Many classifications had yet to be established.

But later, a clear ranking system had been drawn up specifically for ghost domains like these.

A place like the previous teaching building, with only minor illusions and no ability to block signals, was merely a basic ghost domain.

Those that affected vision, phone signals, positioning, and illusions were second-level ghost domains.

As for anything beyond that, it was no longer something an ordinary person like Wang Ye could come into contact with.

"Candy Amusement Park."

With a sigh, Wang Ye tied the Hemp Rope around his waist, then strapped the bloodstained Boning Knife to his calf. He brought several gold nails as well, and after confirming that he had forgotten nothing, set off for the target address.

In the era of Terror Resurgence, every benefit one enjoyed had to be paid for.

When he gained the corresponding authority, he would also bear the corresponding risks.

That was fair.

As Wang Ye stepped out of his apartment, a black sedan was parked at the entrance to the residential complex. A middle-aged man dressed in an investigator's uniform stood in front of it.

Seeing Wang Ye, the investigator stepped forward. "Are you Wang Ye?"

Wang Ye nodded slightly.

"Please get in. I'll tell you the specific details in the car."

The investigator then opened the door. After Wang Ye got in, he shut it, jogged around to the driver's seat, and started the car.

"The Supernatural Incident began forty minutes ago."

"Officer Zhou Han has already arrived."

"Two other superhumans have arrived as well."

"Three logistics personnel are present."

"Twelve investigators entered to investigate earlier, but their signals disappeared after entering, and their positioning systems failed."

"Crying can be heard from outside."

"The roads have been blocked off, so there will be no traffic. We'll arrive in twenty minutes."

While driving, the investigator gave Wang Ye a concise report of all the information currently available.

Wang Ye nodded slightly. Looking at the blocked roads and the ordinary crowds on either side curiously watching their vehicle, he closed his eyes and relaxed, striving to bring himself into peak condition.

The investigator in front stopped talking and focused on driving.
