Killing Pattern

Zhang Kai paused, listening to Wang Ye's calm voice.

Was that the kid from the corner just now?

He really didn't misjudge him; he's indeed an interesting fellow.

But...

"It's good that you know to stand by my side for safety now, and that you can maintain a calm state of mind."

Zhang Kai said, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"However, you're still just a normal person! In this situation, you can't be of any help."

"If I were you, I'd quietly retreat to a corner. After all, no one can figure out the killing pattern of this supernatural event. In a crowd, at least the mortality rate would be lower."

It was rare for Zhang Kai to say so much to a normal person.

After all, for a normal person to remain so calm when facing a supernatural event was already quite remarkable.

If he were an ability user, he might actually be able to help.

Zhang Kai couldn't help but feel a bit of regret.

"First of all, as long as one can figure out the ghost's killing pattern, even a normal person has a chance to survive, doesn't he?"

"And if a crisis truly arises, I believe you'll also need a scapegoat to help you test the ghost's abilities."

Wang Ye's expression didn't change at all as he spoke calmly.

After all, in his previous life, he had encountered too many supernatural events.

But compared to his previous life, his current physique was still far too weak. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, Wang Ye truly didn't want to get involved.

He especially didn't want to be a so-called scapegoat for Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai's brows furrowed deeply, his eerie green eyes seriously scrutinizing the young man before him.

He hadn't expected this young man to know so much about supernatural events, even offering to help him test them.

Zhang Kai fell into a dilemma.

Just then, the air gradually became oppressive, and the temperature of the entire teaching building began to drop.

The ceiling of the classroom, too, had become rotten at some unknown point.

Drip by drip, crimson drops of water fell from the ceiling onto the classroom floor.

"It seems this ghost can alter the surrounding environment."

"Magnetic field coverage unknown."

"Source location unknown."

"No one has died yet, so random killing is temporarily ruled out."

"Killing method unknown."

"But judging by the number of students surviving in the classroom, the killing efficiency is not high."

Wang Ye frowned slightly, sensing the surrounding temperature and environmental changes. He subconsciously organized data and information as he spoke slowly.

These habits were honed from his previous life, on the edge of a blade, time and time again.

Zhang Kai gave Wang Ye a deep look, the green light in his eyes flashing. He no longer hesitated.

"Stay close to me."

With that, Zhang Kai pushed open the classroom door and walked out.

As if Wang Ye had expected Zhang Kai to agree, his expression remained unchanged. He silently followed behind Zhang Kai, maintaining a distance of half a meter.

The people inside the classroom grew even more panicked in the darkness.

The sobbing grew louder until it finally turned into wails.

In the darkness, a grotesque smiling face vaguely appeared on the wall at some point.

It looked as if it were drawn with fresh blood.

The corridor was also filled with darkness, and fear emanated invisibly.

Many students and teachers from other classes, in a state of panic, came into the corridor, looking around.

"A bunch of useless people."

Zhang Kai, as if he had anticipated this scene, cursed with a cold laugh. The green light in his eyes grew more intense as he constantly scanned his surroundings.

After a long while, Zhang Kai seemed to finally pinpoint his target and walked towards the stairs.

From beginning to end, Zhang Kai hadn't spoken another word to Wang Ye.

To Zhang Kai now, although Wang Ye was somewhat mysterious, he was ultimately just a normal person. If he couldn't even keep up with him, then helping him would be a mere joke.

In the darkness, Wang Ye could no longer see his surroundings. The only light in this night was the green glow in Zhang Kai's eyes.

But strangely...

No matter how crowded the people ahead were, Wang Ye always seemed to sense it beforehand, finding gaps and slipping through.

It even maintained a position half a meter behind Zhang Kai.

However, Wang Ye frowned slightly.

Under these circumstances, these students were still walking around in the corridor, making noise, and even gathering together.

In Wang Ye's opinion, this was no different from courting death.

He was currently unaware of the ghost's killing pattern. With so many people gathered, there were bound to be some who met the criteria.

If someone died in the crowd and caused panic, it would only lead to greater chaos and more deaths.

If this ghost was a growth-type.

Then these people would unknowingly provide nourishment for the ghost, and containing the ghost would become even more troublesome.

This was also why Zhang Kai called them burdens and useless.

"Don't you even watch the popular science shows on TV?"

However, this situation only occurred in the early stages of the supernatural resurgence. In Wang Ye's era, things had improved significantly, and ordinary people knew how to survive as best as possible.

It's just that

This experience was gained through countless bloody lessons.

Of course, Wang Ye believed the main reason was that those idiots were already dead.

After experiencing one supernatural event after another, those who managed to survive had at least some brains.

Soon, Zhang Kai passed through the crowd and stood at the entrance of the stairs.

The stairs had disappeared at some point, leaving only darkness.

It was as if taking one more step forward would lead into an endless abyss.

Looking at the scene before him, Zhang Kai frowned slightly, and the green light in his eyes flickered again.

But his face immediately turned a little pale.

"I suggest you don't use your ability too frequently."

"This will only cause your bodily functions to decay more rapidly."

"After all, in this situation, ordinary people can also think of a solution."

At this moment, Wang Ye's voice came softly from behind Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai was startled and looked behind him.

He found that Wang Ye could still follow him accurately in the darkness, and subconsciously took Wang Ye's words more seriously.

However, Wang Ye also became a little more mysterious in his eyes.

"The source cannot be confirmed at the moment."

"My ability can track some traces."

"But it stops here."

"What do you think we should do?"

Even Zhang Kai didn't realize that at some point, he had started seeking Wang Ye's opinion.

"Ghosts can alter magnetic fields and influence reality."

"It's uncertain whether the stairs here have been altered by a magnetic field or if it's an illusion."

"If it's just an illusion, it means this ghost's level is not high."

"But if the stairs truly disappear, this supernatural event will be more troublesome,"

Wang Ye said with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

"The testing method is very simple. The magnetic field formed by a ghost can alter and invade almost everything."

"But there is one thing it cannot."

Zhang Kai pondered for a moment, as if he understood Wang Ye's intention.

"You're talking about gold?"
