"So, I have to wait until midnight."
Wang Ye looked at the suddenly appearing wooden door, a thoughtful expression flashing in his eyes as he muttered to himself.
"Finally, my ability is about to awaken."
A ripple stirred in Wang Ye's usually calm heart. He felt a bit nervous, but quickly regained his composure, pushed open the wooden door, and returned to the post office.
The front desk.
A pair of blood-red gloves lay quietly on the desk.
Next to the gloves, a familiar note displayed a few lines of text.
"Put the gloves on your hands to awaken your hand ability."
"Next delivery time: seven days later."
Wang Ye nodded thoughtfully, "As expected, the interval between deliveries is always seven days."
Taking a deep breath, Wang Ye focused his gaze on the gloves.
The gloves were dark red, with red lines resembling human veins that pulsed with a faint crimson light.
They looked less like gloves and more like a skinned, bare hand.
Wang Ye's expression turned serious as he picked up the gloves.
Indeed, they had a fleshy texture. Wang Ye could even feel the veins on the gloves vibrating at a regular frequency.
With a decisive look in his eyes, Wang Ye didn't hesitate to put the gloves on.
The next second, the veins on the gloves felt like countless fine needles, gently pricking Wang Ye's hands.
Then, the gloves emitted a faint red glow, and the veins gradually brightened. Wang Ye's blood flowed into the gloves along the veins and then returned to his hands, forming a cycle.
Wang Ye's face instantly turned pale. The intense pain in his hands caused sweat to break out all over his face.
Finally, Wang Ye couldn't help but let out a low groan of pain.
In this eerie post office, only Wang Ye's groans echoed.
Half an hour later, the pain in his hands finally began to subside and disappear. Wang Ye felt as if he had been pulled out of water; his clothes were completely soaked.
Wang Ye tremblingly raised his hands. The gloves had vanished at some point. Wang Ye could clearly feel that his hands were different from before.
It seemed...
He closed his eyes and felt for a moment before suddenly opening them.
"Three abilities?"
Normally, most ability users only awakened one ability for a specific body part.
A few exceptionally talented individuals, like Zhang Kai, could possess two.
Those with three were almost always the absolute top-tier powerhouses.
After all, each additional ability greatly enhanced one's strength. Many people who awakened three body parts later only had a total of three abilities.
Silently sensing the abilities in his hands, a smile crept onto Wang Ye's lips.
Finally...
When facing supernatural events, he would finally have his own confidence. This was something no amount of top-tier combat training could replace.
Returning to his room, exhausted, Wang Ye collapsed onto his bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Early morning.
The ringing of a telephone woke Wang Ye up.
Looking at the caller ID on the screen, Wang Ye frowned slightly.
Zhou Han.
He chose to answer, and a familiar sweet voice came through.
"My dear little operator brother, time to work~"
"Speak."
Wang Ye quickly regained his clarity, got up, poured himself a glass of water, and said calmly.
"As expected, that cold tone again." Zhou Han's voice was filled with a hint of grievance.
"But this time we'll be meeting and cooperating. I'll finally have a chance to twist your head off, hehe."
Then, as if thinking of something, Zhou Han's tone became excited, and she couldn't help but laugh. However, her sweet laughter carried a hint of sinister undertones.
"I need the information, the address."
Wang Ye paused for a moment and said.
Logically speaking, personnel from the Logistics Department didn't need to execute missions on the front lines, as most members of the Logistics Department were ordinary people.
Or rather...
Wang Ye repeatedly recalled the current situation of the Heavenly Group and the mysterious minister.
For a moment, Wang Ye seemed to understand.
It seems...
He has his own ambitions too?
Reform?
Or something else?
As for the specific answer, perhaps he could only discover it slowly during this mission.
For a moment, Wang Ye became somewhat interested.
"Go check the news yourself, but you only have 30 minutes. If you're late, I'll have plenty of reason to dismember you and reassemble you~"
"I'm really looking forward to it."
Wang Ye hung up the phone without hesitation, opened his computer, plugged in the USB drive, and started searching.
As expected, on the homepage, the latest information was about this so-called 'Crybaby'.
"Codename: Crybaby."
"Address: Candy Amusement Park, Shangjing City."
"Murder pattern: Currently unknown."
"Possesses a magnetic field that blocks signals, covering the amusement park, and accompanied by illusory mist. Ordinary investigators will quickly get lost upon entering. Only faint crying can be heard."
"The amusement park happens to be closed for maintenance, with no tourists. However, 52 staff members are trapped inside, with an unknown death toll."
Looking at the information on the computer, Wang Ye fell into thought.
"A Level 2 ghost domain..."
It's still the early stage after the Eternal Night, everyone is quite inexperienced, and many levels haven't been classified yet.
But later, a clear classification list was established for such ghost domains.
Like the previous teaching building, with its mild illusions that couldn't block signals, it was just a beginner ghost domain.
A Level 2 ghost domain affects vision, phone signals, and positioning, along with illusions.
As for anything beyond that, it's not something an ordinary person like Wang Ye can access.
"Candy Amusement Park."
With a sigh, Wang Ye tied the hemp rope around his waist, then strapped the blood-stained bone-cutting knife to his calf, and took a few gold nails. After confirming nothing was missing, he set off for the target address.
In the era of the Terror Resurgence, all enjoyed benefits require payment.
When he gained corresponding rights, he would also bear corresponding risks.
It was only fair.
As Wang Ye walked out of his room, a black sedan was parked at the entrance of the residential complex. A middle-aged man in investigator's attire stood in front of the car.
Seeing Wang Ye's figure, the investigator stepped forward: "Excuse me, are you Wang Ye?"
Wang Ye nodded slightly.
"Please get in the car, I'll tell you the specific details inside."
Then, the investigator opened the car door. After Wang Ye got in, the investigator closed the door, jogged to the driver's seat, and started the car.
"The supernatural event has been happening for 40 minutes."
"Commander Zhou Han has already arrived."
"Two other ability users have also arrived."
"Three logistics personnel."
"Twelve investigators went in to scout earlier, but their signals disappeared and their positioning systems failed after they entered."
"Crying can be heard from the outside."
"The road has been sealed off, so there won't be any traffic jams. We will arrive in 20 minutes."
The investigator reported all the current information to Wang Ye as concisely as possible while driving.
Wang Ye nodded slightly, looking at the sealed-off road and the curious ordinary people on both sides of the road watching their vehicle. He closed his eyes, relaxed his mind, and tried to get his state to its best.
The investigator in front stopped talking and focused on driving.
