Murderer, Savior

A cramped staff room by the carousel.

Waves of screams rang out from inside.

The employee who had led them there heard the cries, and his face instantly turned pale. His legs went weak, leaving him rooted to the spot, unable to move.

Wang Ye frowned slightly, strode forward, and threw the door open.

A being similar to the Ghost Slave Wang Ye had dealt with earlier was glaring viciously at the crowd, roaring without pause.

Its teeth were even stained with blood.

On the floor, a woman clutched her throat in agony. She had clearly stopped breathing.

The Ghost Slave wore a ferocious expression, while the other four people kept shrinking back in the already cramped staff room, curled up and trembling.

"Useless!"

Wang Ye could not help cursing. It was just an ordinary Ghost Slave. Aside from inducing sorrow in people and killing like a zombie, it had almost no other abilities.

Yet five people had been frightened into retreat by something like that.

The others had even watched helplessly as the woman was bitten to death.

Wang Ye's face darkened. He grabbed the Ghost Slave by the shoulder and hurled it out, sending it crashing right at Tian Qi's feet.

"Expert, it's time to show your strength."

Wang Ye looked at Tian Qi and spoke calmly.

"Are you provoking me?"

Tian Qi's eyes brimmed with rage. He gave Wang Ye a hard look, then black light flickered over his leg as he kicked the Ghost Slave in the head with a side kick.

The next second, the Ghost Slave's head burst like a watermelon.

"Is your head harder than its?"

Tian Qi looked at Wang Ye mockingly, his voice full of disdain.

For some reason, Strong Man remained silent this time. He did not try to smooth things over, and whether intentionally or not, he stood farther back.

Then—

"Found it!"

Zhou Han, who had sensed something was wrong all along, had somehow closed her eyes. Her whole body radiated an icy aloofness, like a holy goddess keeping everyone at arm's length.

Suddenly, Zhou Han opened her eyes, looked toward the space above the Ferris wheel, and spoke.

Everyone instinctively followed her gaze. They vaguely spotted a figure standing silently inside one of the Ferris wheel's cabins, watching them through the glass.

"So that ghostly thing was there!"

A savage smile appeared on Tian Qi's lips. Black gloom flickered around his legs as he began running at a speed beyond the limits of the human body.

Then, beneath the Ferris wheel, he stomped hard on the floor. The ground shattered, and he shot ten full meters into the air.

Immediately after, he stepped on one of the Ferris wheel's iron supports and continued leaping upward.

In merely ten seconds, he had reached the spot where the figure had been.

But—

At some point, the figure had vanished.

"Fuck!"

Tian Qi cursed, then dropped from the sky like a cannonball, smashing heavily into the ground.

"That thing disappeared."

Seeing Strong Man's questioning look, Tian Qi gritted his teeth and said irritably.

Strong Man nodded, then looked at Zhou Han and asked, "Can you still locate it?"

Zhou Han closed her eyes. A few seconds later, she shook her head slightly.

"It left."

Strong Man looked somewhat frustrated. "That ghostly thing is too cunning."

"It's because of the Ghost Domain."

The silent Wang Ye suddenly spoke from the side. "This is a more advanced Ghost Domain. Within a Ghost Domain, ghosts gain an ability similar to teleportation."

"The stronger the ghost, the shorter its cooldown and the farther it can move."

"This one can't have teleported very far."

He did not mention the Second-Level Ghost Domain to the three of them, since that concept had not yet emerged.

Teleportation!

Strong Man and Tian Qi exchanged a glance, their eyes grave.

Meanwhile, an almost imperceptible killing intent surfaced in Tian Qi's eyes as he looked at Wang Ye.

"Then how do we break it?"

Zhou Han did not question how Wang Ye knew this information. She simply opened her eyes and asked coolly.

Fortunately, she was still fairly serious right now and did not say she wanted to twist Wang Ye's head off.

"Unless it's suppressed by a higher-level Ghost Domain."

Wang Ye shook his head slightly. "However, we can spread out and form a square encirclement. If any one of us finds it and it uses teleportation, we immediately close in. It won't be able to use it a second time for a while."

"Tch, you?"

"The three of us have the strength to hold a ghost back, but what are you? You're just an ordinary person. What makes you think you're qualified?"

Tian Qi glanced at Wang Ye disdainfully and sneered.

Wang Ye's expression did not change in the slightest. He was not even interested in looking at Tian Qi. "How will we know if we don't try? If I die, you won't be responsible for it, will you?"

Tian Qi wanted to continue mocking him, but after glancing at Strong Man, he forcibly swallowed his words. He shot Wang Ye an annoyed glare and said nothing more.

"Little brother, I believe you wouldn't joke around with your life. I agree with your suggestion."

"Zhou Han, what about you?"

Strong Man gave Wang Ye a long look, his gaze profound, as though he were thinking about something.

Then Strong Man looked at Zhou Han and asked.

Zhou Han suddenly clasped her hands behind her back and smiled sweetly like a little girl. "I'll listen to big brother. After all, I still need to turn him into a teddy bear~"

"But don't die at someone else's hands, okay? Your life is mine~"

Zhou Han looked at Wang Ye, giggling.

Wang Ye had already grown accustomed to Zhou Han's mannerisms. His face remained completely calm as he merely nodded.

"Good. Let's spread out now. If anyone finds the ghost, call for the others. It just used teleportation, so it couldn't have gone far. Our encirclement doesn't need to be too large."

Other than Tian Qi's cold stare, the remaining three clearly had no objections. They were about to split up.

Just then—

"Aren't you here to save us?"

"Don't leave!"

The ordinary people who had been trembling in the corner suddenly spoke up.

"That's right, you can't just leave me here."

"If you don't take us with you, believe it or not, we'll file a complaint against you afterward!"

A group of people who were terrified of ghosts suddenly became brave in front of the Superhumans.

"I'm telling you, I'm a shareholder in this amusement park. You have to get me out of here. Stop worrying about some ghost. My life is worth a lot!"

A man in a suit seemed to gradually find his courage. He looked at Wang Ye and the others and berated them.

"You fear ghosts because you know they have no consciousness."

"And because ghosts really will kill you."

Wang Ye looked at these ordinary people, suddenly smiled, and said calmly, "You think we were sent by the authorities, so we're here to save lives."

"We won't attack you."

"You fear murderers, yet you won't feel grateful toward saviors."

"Am I right?"

Wang Ye stared coldly at the ordinary people, a glint of chill flashing through his eyes.
