A small staff room at the carousel.

At this moment, screams echoed from within.

The employee leading the way in the distance heard the noise, his face instantly turned pale, and he stood rooted to the spot, his legs weak, unable to move.

Wang Ye frowned slightly, quickened his pace, and flung the door open.

A being similar to the ghost slave Wang Ye had dealt with before was now glaring ferociously at everyone, roaring incessantly.

Its teeth were even covered in blood.

On the ground, a woman clutched her neck in pain, clearly no longer breathing.

This ghost slave had a ferocious expression, while the other four people cowered incessantly in the already cramped staff room, curled up and trembling.

"Useless!"

Wang Ye couldn't help but curse. It was just an ordinary ghost slave, with no other abilities besides inducing feelings of sadness and a zombie-like method of killing.

Five people were actually scared away by such a ghost slave.

Even the others had watched this woman get bitten to death with their own eyes.

Wang Ye's expression turned grim. He grabbed the ghost slave by the shoulder and threw it out, right at Tian Qi's feet.

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

Wang Ye looked at Tian Qi and said calmly.

"Are you provoking me?"

Tian Qi's eyes were filled with intense anger. He gave Wang Ye a deep look, then a black light flashed around his leg, and he delivered a side kick to the ghost slave's head.

The next second, the ghost slave's head shattered like a watermelon.

"Is your head harder than his?"

Tian Qi mocked Wang Ye, saying dismissively.

The strong man, for some reason, fell silent at this moment, no longer trying to smooth things over. Whether it was intentional or not, he stood in a relatively rear position.

And then.

"Found it!"

Zhou Han, who had felt something was wrong all along, closed her eyes at some point. She radiated a coldness that kept people at a distance, like a holy goddess.

Suddenly, Zhou Han opened her eyes and looked towards the sky above the Ferris wheel, saying.

Everyone's gaze instinctively followed, and they vaguely saw a figure standing quietly inside the Ferris wheel, looking at them through the glass.

"You damn thing, so that's where you are!"

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Tian Qi's mouth. The black light flickered on his legs, and he began to run at a speed that surpassed human limits.

Then, beneath the Ferris wheel, he stomped hard on the ground, shattering it. He then shot up a full 10 meters.

Next, he stepped on the Ferris wheel's iron pillar again, leaping upwards continuously.

In just ten seconds, he had reached the position where the figure had been.

But.

At some point, that figure had disappeared.

"Shit!"

Tian Qi cursed, then jumped down from the high altitude like a cannonball, landing heavily on the ground.

"That thing is gone."

Seeing the strong man's questioning gaze, Tian Qi gritted his teeth and said with annoyance.

The strong man nodded, then looked at Zhou Han and asked, "Can you still track that thing's location?"

Zhou Han closed her eyes, shook her head slightly after a few seconds.

"He left."

The strong man was somewhat annoyed: "This damn thing is too cunning."

"It's because of the ghost domain."

Wang Ye, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: "This is a higher-level ghost domain. Within the ghost domain, ghosts possess an ability similar to teleportation."

"The stronger the ghost's power, the faster the cooldown, and the further the movement distance."

"This one currently can't teleport too far."

He didn't mention the second-level ghost domain to the three of them, as that concept hadn't emerged yet.

Teleportation!

Tian Qi and the strong man exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a hint of solemnity.

And in Tian Qi's eyes, a subtle killing intent towards Wang Ye inexplicably surfaced.

"Then how should we break it?"

Zhou Han didn't question how Wang Ye knew this information. Instead, she opened her eyes and asked indifferently.

Fortunately, she was still relatively composed now, refraining from saying she'd twist off Wang Ye's head.

"Unless a higher-level ghost domain suppresses it."

Wang Ye shook his head slightly. "However, we can spread out and surround him in a square formation. As soon as anyone spots him and he uses instant transmission, we immediately close in. For a short period, he won't be able to use it a second time."

"Hmph, you?"

"The three of us have the strength to hold back ghosts, but what are you? An ordinary person, you think you're worthy?"

Tian Qi glanced at Wang Ye dismissively, sneering.

Wang Ye's expression remained unchanged; he didn't even have the interest to look at Tian Qi. "How will we know if we don't try? If I die, you can't blame me, can you?"

Tian Qi wanted to continue his sarcastic remarks, but after glancing at the strong man, he forcefully swallowed his words. He shot Wang Ye an unhappy glare and said no more.

"Young man, I believe you wouldn't joke about your own life. I agree with your suggestion."

"Zhou Han, what about you?"

The strong man looked deeply at Wang Ye, his gaze profound, as if contemplating something.

Then, the strong man turned to Zhou Han and asked.

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

"But don't you die at someone else's hands, okay? Your life belongs to me~"

Zhou Han giggled as she looked at Wang Ye.

Wang Ye had grown accustomed to Zhou Han's antics. His face remained impassive, and he simply nodded calmly.

"Alright, let's spread out. If we find a ghost, shout for the others. He just used instant transmission, so he can't have gone far. Our encirclement doesn't need to be too large."

Apart from Tian Qi's cold stare, the others clearly had no objections. The group was about to disperse.

Just then.

"Aren't you here to save us?"

"Don't go!"

From the side, an ordinary person who had been trembling in the corner suddenly spoke up.

"Yeah, you can't just leave me here."

"If you don't take us with you, believe it or not, we'll complain about you!"

A group of people, who had been filled with fear of the ghosts, suddenly found their courage when facing the ability users.

"I'm telling you, I'm a shareholder of this amusement park. You must save me. Don't worry about any ghosts; my life is worth a lot!"

A man in a suit seemed to have found his courage and was now reprimanding Wang Ye and the others.

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

"And ghosts will actually kill you."

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

"We won't harm you."

"You fear those who kill, but you don't appreciate those who save."

"Right?"

Wang Ye looked at these ordinary people coldly, a hint of a glint flashing in his eyes.
