Three Against One, the Advantage Is Ours

Night slowly fell.

The argument between mother and daughter had long since ended.

Over a simple dinner in the living room, Sophie looked composed, little Martin clung tightly to Li Dan, and Rebecca had called her boyfriend over.

You could tell who was close to whom just by where everyone sat at the table.

If Li Dan had not come, Rebecca would have taken her younger brother to live at her place after learning the truth.

The old woman was sullen and unhappy.

Li Dan could tell that this was not what the mother truly wanted, but in her mental state, it was only a matter of time before she was manipulated by the evil spirit.

Not long after dinner.

Rebecca's boyfriend, Brett, arrived.

Dressed in leather with long hair and stubble, he looked like he played rock music. But as Rebecca introduced him, Li Dan found that although he looked wild, he was actually introverted.

After some casual conversation.

It was already night. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about the evil spirit and chatted about topics that interested them.

But what was coming would eventually come.

Normally, Diana might have chosen someone alone, but Li Dan's insistence on entering this house today had already angered her.

While using the bathroom, Brett suddenly screamed and ran out, saying he had seen a pitch-black figure pounce at him before vanishing in an instant.

Rebecca hurriedly looked at Li Dan, and Li Dan did not disappoint. Bold through skill, he headed straight for the bathroom.

He looked like he had the aura of a powerhouse, but in truth, he had already fused with the Bat Person.

Rebecca relaxed at the sight and quickly explained the whole situation to her boyfriend.

Most boyfriends would probably have run away by now.

But Brett chose to stay and face it with Rebecca. He was introverted, but not lacking in courage.

Inside the bathroom.

A ghostly light flashed, and the Soul Severing Clown made a dazzling entrance.

Art the Clown still carried his signature black plastic bag. This time, however, his weapon had been upgraded—he actually pulled out a chainsaw.

It was far too loud, so Li Dan asked him to switch it for something else. Maybe he had ultraviolet light or something?

"Forget it. I'll look for something myself."

Li Dan shoved his hand directly into the black bag and rummaged around, pulling out whatever he grabbed to inspect it.

What was this thing?

Li Dan felt something hard, pulled it out, and found half a baseball bat smeared with some unknown liquid.

Li Dan was instantly disgusted. He returned it to Art the Clown and said speechlessly,

"You really aren't afraid of being disgusting."

After saying that, Li Dan felt like he had said something pointless. After all, at that restaurant last time, the Soul Severing Clown had smeared shit everywhere. He was an oddity even in the horror world.

Art the Clown smiled and pulled what looked like a hat from his pocket, seemingly intending to perform a magic trick to please him.

Li Dan stopped him in time and told him to check whether there was anything else in the room.

Art the Clown nodded, then shook his head.

But Li Dan understood what he meant. He could sense it, but could not pinpoint the exact location.

It seemed that most of these things could sense one another.

Did evil sense evil?

"Then keep watch. When I give the order, the moment you see or sense anything, charge straight at it.

"Don't be afraid. I'll cover you from behind."

Art the Clown: "..."

Li Dan: "I'm turning off the lights."

Art the Clown nodded, took out a signature hammer from his bag, and prepared to charge at any moment.

Li Dan lit a candle, then turned off the bathroom lights, plunging the entire space into darkness.

Only that faint candlelight drifted in the dark, as though it could be snuffed out at any moment.

Not long after.

A black figure crouched by the doorway, its features impossible to make out, as if it had appeared out of nowhere.

Li Dan turned on the light, and the figure vanished. When he turned it off, it reappeared.

Only, it seemed to be closer.

Li Dan turned on the light again and took out the Ghost Card. Huh, it could still only detect traces.

Could it really only move through shadows?

Li Dan turned on the light once more and tried to communicate.

"Hey, whoever you are, can you understand human speech?"

Those words seemed to anger the shadow. She slowly rose to her feet, growling as she lunged at Li Dan.

At that moment, Li Dan flicked the switch again, and the shadow disappeared.

"Click."

When the lights went off, the shadow appeared again. When they came on, it vanished again.

Disappear, appear, disappear, appear...

Although the shadow was getting closer and closer, Li Dan actually found it rather interesting.

"Art, time to perform. Go!"

The lights went out once more.

Art the Clown charged forward with his hammer. He looked imposing, but in a single exchange, the shadow pounced on him and knocked him to the ground, sending the hammer flying away.

"Click."

Li Dan turned on the light. Art looked flustered and somewhat confused.

"Click."

The shadow suddenly appeared again. Caught off guard, Art had his neck bitten open, and a massive spray of blood burst out uncontrollably.

Ahem, operational error. To make it up to Art, Li Dan released the Bat Person to assist him.

When the Bat Person charged over, the shadow suddenly vanished again.

The next second, she appeared on the ceiling and directly hoisted the Bat Person up.

The Bat Person's claws spun around, but the shadow vanished again as attacks suddenly came from every direction.

The Bat Person was even seized by the throat and lifted into the air.

Fortunately, the Bat Person was not human and would not die even if he suffocated.

In the cramped space, the Bat Person was toyed with like a toy.

Art crawled and rolled back to Li Dan's side while clutching his neck. It was no longer spraying blood, but it was still bleeding.

His eyes were full of resentment, but Li Dan pretended not to notice.

An Immortal Body was still rather difficult to kill.

Although the Bat Person had been on the receiving end of attacks the entire time, Li Dan had never stepped beyond the candlelight.

Perhaps the evil spirit named Diana had also realized that he was the one in control.

The moment Li Dan dared to step out of the room, he could guarantee that the evil spirit would abandon the Bat Person and attack his face directly.

Even if he was mentally prepared, he did not want an evil spirit suddenly lunging at his face.

After all, it was pretty damn scary.

But how could he restrain Diana?

This evil spirit was different from the others. She seemed to have a physical body, unlike the terror in Paranormal Activity that was completely invisible to the naked eye.

With the lights off, she moved at near-teleportation speed.

With the lights on, she could not be seen. This was truly a difficult problem for Li Dan.

Did he really have to call a priest?

From the moment Li Dan entered the bathroom to the Bat Person's appearance, the whole process had actually taken only five minutes.

Perhaps seeing Li Dan's caution, the evil spirit disappeared directly.

Then screams came from the living room.

Li Dan had only taken a few steps out of the shadows before stopping. The next second, his neck tightened, and a force lifted him into the air.

He had guessed it, but he was a few steps too late.

"Fusion: Diamond Four."

Looking down at the shadow, Li Dan used all his strength to break free from the invisible hand around his neck. The Bat Person and the Soul Severing Clown instantly gathered at Li Dan's side.

The shadow vanished again.

A crafty evil spirit, but her strength did not seem particularly great.

Of course, it might also have been three against one. The advantage was theirs.

All three had Immortal Bodies, and Li Dan had also fused with the Evil Spirit Wendigo. He was rather hard to kill.

That was why Li Dan dared to be so reckless.

If this had been Paranormal Activity, Gonjiam, or Grave Encounter, he would have been much more cautious.
