The corpse's voice was filled with sorrow.

It was many times stronger than the faint crying sounds, making anyone who heard it feel an involuntary sense of guilt.

A sharp glint flashed in the strong man's eyes as he cautiously took two steps back.

Tian Qi, who always had a fiery temper, also retreated at this moment.

The two moved almost in sync.

Only Zhou Han remained standing, gazing deeply at the figure that was clearly already a corpse.

Wang Ye glanced at Tian Qi and the strong man as if by chance, a faint smile playing on his lips.

These two are interesting.

Then, Wang Ye decisively took a step forward. A razor-sharp dagger slid from his right sleeve and sliced across the figure's neck.

Blood gushed continuously from the figure's throat, quickly staining its entire clothing red.

But the figure, eerily, did not fall to the ground. It stared at Wang Ye with lingering malevolence, "Why..."

Before the figure could finish speaking, Wang Ye, without hesitation, struck again.

A spray of blood even landed on Wang Ye's face.

Wang Ye's expression remained unchanged as he silently delivered another blow, and then another.

"Looks like I should bring a hammer next time."

Wang Ye even muttered to himself thoughtfully.

Finally, the head was completely severed and fell to the ground. Its eyes were still fixed on Wang Ye, but it spoke no more.

The headless corpse finally collapsed heavily onto the ground.

"It can't change human bodily functions. Everything still has to follow reality?"

Wang Ye mused. He had once encountered the most terrifying ghosts whose controlled corpses, even with just a head, could attack you, completely defying common sense about the human body.

But clearly, the ghost before him had not reached that level.

However, what Wang Ye didn't see was...

The young girl from the Logistics Department, left unattended nearby, was so terrified by the scene that she collapsed onto the ground.

The pool of blood frantically stimulated her nerves.

After a long while...

"Ah!!!"

The young girl let out a piercing scream, then began to cry silently.

Wang Ye subconsciously looked over, his expression changing drastically. He wanted to stop it, but unfortunately...

It was too late.

The young girl's silently weeping expression abruptly ceased.

Following that, her face contorted, and she forced a hideous smile before collapsing onto the ground.

Tian Qi and the strong man, who had been silently observing the entire situation from behind, exchanged a barely perceptible glance. Then, Tian Qi took a step forward with disdain, looking at the now-corpse of the young girl and stating flatly, "Trash!"

Immediately, a faint black light emanated from his foot, which he then aimed at the young girl's corpse's head and stomped down heavily.

Instantly...

Blood splattered everywhere.

"This is true power."

Tian Qi looked at Wang Ye wildly, filled with mockery.

In contrast, Wang Ye's previous actions of swinging his blade multiple times seemed like the work of trash.

"Idiot."

Wang Ye shot Tian Qi a cold, smiling glance.

"With the way you use your ability, you'll be preparing your funeral in three months at most."

Wang Ye stared coldly at Tian Qi, uttering a faint taunt before walking away.

Ability...

He has it too.

But in Wang Ye's opinion, using it purely for show is an absolutely foolish act.

Tian Qi watched Wang Ye's retreating back, his expression shifting between emotions. He gritted his teeth, glanced at the strong man without anyone noticing, and then they both walked deeper into the amusement park.

Meanwhile, Zhou Han, enjoying a rare moment of quiet, was staring at Wang Ye's back with sparkling eyes, as if she had found a treasure.

According to the map at the amusement park entrance, they should have reached a location near the center of the park by now.

Wang Ye frowned slightly, comparing the coordinates with the giant Ferris wheel in front of him.

"Doesn't the crying sound of this ghost get louder the closer you get?"

No matter how he moved, the crying sound in his ears remained unchanged.

His plan to locate the ghost's source based on the crying sound had failed.

"Who!"

Suddenly, the strong man's eyes flickered as he looked towards the carousel.

A figure flashed by and disappeared in an instant.

The strong man gritted his teeth and decisively chased after the figure.

Tian Qi followed without hesitation.

When Wang Ye arrived, he found the strong man looking ferocious, pinning a figure beneath him.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

Beneath the strong man, the figure twisted its body, repeatedly begging for mercy.

"It's a person?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the strong man's eyes, and he released his grip.

"Damn it, I thought everyone was dead," Tian Qi, standing nearby, spat and said indignantly.

Wang Ye walked closer and saw that the figure was an employee wearing an amusement park uniform.

"You... are you here to save us?"

The employee looked at Wang Ye and the others, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Us?"

Wang Ye immediately seized on the key word and asked the employee.

The employee nodded, looking nervous. "Yes. I'm in charge of the Ferris wheel maintenance. When the incident happened, I was with several other Ferris wheel staff members."

"How many people."

Wang Ye frowned slightly and asked.

"There were originally six of us, but now... there are only five left."

A deep sense of loss appeared on the employee's face.

Someone died?

Wang Ye's expression changed abruptly.

The strong man and Tian Qi seemed to have realized something as well, exchanging glances.

The strong man stepped forward and asked, "How long has he been dead, and where did he die!"

The employee was startled by the strong man's reaction. Recalling the strong man's actions towards him earlier, a hint of fear flickered in his eyes, and he instinctively took two steps back.

"Just... just now."

"We kept hearing crying."

"He... he couldn't hold it in and cried."

"Then... then he died." The employee seemed to recall something, his eyes filled with intense fear, his body trembling slightly.

"I really couldn't stand it, so I ran out wanting to..."

"Wanting to find an exit..."

Listening to the employee's words, Wang Ye's expression changed, and he said sternly, "If you don't want the other people to die too, take us there immediately."

"Huh?"

The employee seemed slow to react to Wang Ye's words, pausing for a moment.

"Damn it, hurry up and lead the way."

Beside him, the hot-tempered Tian Qi kicked the employee in the butt and cursed.

The employee, filled with fear, dared not speak further and quietly led the way forward.

The group followed behind the employee, heading towards their hiding place.

Zhou Han, on the other hand, remained in place, a flicker of confusion in her eyes. She looked around carefully but found nothing, then followed.

Not long after everyone had left...

On the Ferris wheel, a young boy exuding an intense aura of sorrow appeared. Standing at a high vantage point, he silently watched everyone.
