Chapter 24: Untitled

Before he could even turn his head, he felt an icy chill at his throat.

Then his vision went from high to low...

His head hit the ground with a thud, rolling across the carriage floor, his eyes fixed on the Ghost Shadow wielding the Ghost Butcher Knife that had so easily severed his head.

His eyes were filled with shock, bewilderment, and terror.

He died with his eyes wide open!

One strike, and he was dead!

Chen Yu clapped his hands lightly, and the Ghost Shadow, the Ghost Butcher Knife, and the Shroud Ghost enveloping him all vanished.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was scared out of their wits, not daring to even breathe!

The mighty Zhou Ai had been beheaded with a single blow?

What was that black shadow just now? What was the clothing wrapped around Chen Yu?

Who exactly was Chen Yu?! How could he be so strong?

Chen Yu paid no attention to the shocked passengers.

He moved his body.

All the passengers shuddered and scrambled into the corners.

Chen Yu unhurriedly crouched down and searched Zhou Ai's body.

"Found it."

He pulled a miniature steering wheel from Zhou Ai's body.

The steering wheel instantly enlarged in Chen Yu's hand, growing to about the size of a bus steering wheel before stopping.

So, the Anomaly Zhou Ai controlled was the Ghost Steering Wheel.

No wonder he could turn the bus into a Ghost Bus and control it at will.

In the next moment, he bit directly into the steering wheel.

Everyone hid under the seats, watching this scene in terror.

Eating a steering wheel?

Was this guy even human?

He probably couldn't even bite through it, right?

"Crunch, crunch..."

The sound of crisp chewing filled the air.

Chen Yu bit a hole in the steering wheel, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it.

Everyone was dumbfounded at this sight, their faces turning pale!

He could even eat a steering wheel.

Was Chen Yu a shredder?

Everyone trembled, not even wanting to call the police.

Could the police even deal with such a powerful being?

After swallowing the steering wheel, Chen Yu felt a surge of power flowing wildly through his body.

[You have devoured a Level 5 Ghost Steering Wheel.]
[The Ghost Steering Wheel has been digested and converted into energy.]

The energy circulated through Chen Yu's body before finally pouring into his Time Ghost Eye.

[Time Ghost Eye experience increased, upgrade experience (40%).]

Chen Yu was overjoyed!

He didn't expect that eating the Ghost Steering Wheel would actually level up his Time Ghost Eye!

The Ghost Bus lived up to its name; even with only half a carriage remaining, it could still drive normally.

After consuming the Ghost Steering Wheel, Chen Yu was able to take control of the vehicle and change its destination.

However, halfway there, Chen Yu took Tong Jian and got off the bus.

Because the Anomaly Zoo had arrived.

Upon arrival, a zoo gate stood not far away. Chen Yu looked up at the rusted zoo sign.

Engraved on the sign were the words "Linjiang Zoo Welcomes You."

In stark contrast to its former liveliness, only a desolate and chilling atmosphere remained.

Not far from the entrance of the zoo, two figures stood.

One of them was slender and beautiful, dressed in casual clothes that accentuated her competence.

This girl was none other than Han Ningning, the school beauty of Linjiang High School.

The other was a young man of about twenty-five, with an air of superiority that made it clear he was not to be trifled with.

When Han Ningning saw Chen Yu, she ran over excitedly, her tone respectful as she said, "Chen Yu, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for so long. With you here, I'll definitely pass this mission!"

She admired Chen Yu greatly now and had complete faith in his abilities.

After all, she had personally witnessed Chen Yu eating the Ghost Butcher's corpse.

And the Ghost Butcher Knife, too, had been swallowed whole by Chen Yu...

That Anomaly, she had heard, even Luo Mu couldn't handle. So, when they came to the class to inform the students, they told them to run if they heard the sound of chopping meat.

But Chen Yu had effortlessly dealt with the Butcher.

"You flatter me," Chen Yu said with a smile.

After greeting Chen Yu, Han Ningning noticed the silent little Child next to him and couldn't help but ask, "Who's this little girl?"

"Oh, she's a friend, my aunt's kid. My aunt's out of town for a few days and asked me to look after it. I didn't want to leave it alone at home, so I brought it along. Hope you don't mind?"

Chen Yu made up a story.

Han Ningning knew Chen Yu's strength. Since Chen Yu dared to bring someone along, it meant he was capable of protecting her.

As long as Chen Yu was there, Han Ningning didn't care about such things.

She quickly said, "It's fine. You can bring as many people as you want."

"Tsk, bring as many as you want? Do you really think this is a sightseeing zoo?"

Just then, an untimely voice rang out.

Everyone turned to look, and the speaker was none other than the man who had come with Han Ningning.

Han Ningning looked at him, a hint of embarrassment on her face, and then explained to Chen Yu, "This is a senior member of our Orderer Plan, Senior Li Minghai."

"Oh."

Knowing that the visitor was hostile, Chen Yu simply nodded faintly, saying nothing.

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant," Li Minghai said.

Seeing that Chen Yu wasn't shocked at all upon hearing his name, but instead looked indifferent, Li Minghai was slightly taken aback.

But he quickly regained his composure.

After all, what was Chen Yu's status? As a little piece of trash, was he qualified to know him?

Chen Yu ignored him completely and said to Han Ningning, "When are we going in?"

Chen Yu just wanted to enter the zoo as soon as possible and resolve the Anomaly quickly.

"Right now," Han Ningning said.

Han Ningning looked back at Li Minghai and said, "Senior, the person I called has arrived. Why don't we go in first?"

Li Minghai waved his hand and said, "No, I've also called someone. He's on his way now. We'll go in after he arrives."

On his way?

Who was he talking about?

Hearing this, Han Ningning said to Chen Yu with some embarrassment, "Chen Yu, I'm sorry... This time, the Investigation Bureau gave us permission to call for help, so we can each call one person to help. His person hasn't arrived yet."

"Who is it?" Chen Yu asked.

"I heard his name is Zhou Ai, a very powerful Ghost Controller with Yellow Hair."

Han Ningning explained.

Hearing this, Chen Yu couldn't help but chuckle.

What a small world!

He didn't expect that Yellow Hair was the person Li Minghai was waiting for.

Chen Yu smiled and said directly to Li Minghai, "If you're waiting for him, then don't bother. You can wait until the end of time, and he still won't come."

"What are you talking about?"

Li Minghai was confused and displeased upon hearing this, thinking that Chen Yu didn't want to wait any longer. He directly mocked, "Let me tell you, without me and Zhou Ai taking you in, you're just asking for death if you go in!"

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything else. Take your time waiting, I'll excuse myself."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he led Han Ningning and Tong Jian into the Anomaly Zoo.

And Han Ningning didn't hesitate at all, firmly believing that Chen Yu would definitely lead her to deal with the Anomalies in the zoo, and followed Chen Yu in directly.

"Truly, ignorance is bliss, courting death!"

Seeing Chen Yu leading Han Ningning and a little girl toward the zoo, Li Minghai couldn't help but spit disdainfully, saying with a face full of mockery, "Waiting until the end of time, Zhou Ai still won't come. Is he dead or something?"

The words had just fallen.

[Buzz!]

Li Minghai's phone vibrated.

He picked up his phone and looked at it, and lines of scarlet flame-dancing text appeared on his phone screen.

[You're so smart, your guess is correct, he's already dead.]

[And he died without any chance to fight back.]

[Because what he encountered was simply something completely beyond his level.]

[For him to die at the hands of such an existence can be considered a special honor.]

[...]

[You have offended an existence you shouldn't have offended. Neither he nor It are beings you are worthy of desecrating. Perhaps you will die as tragically as your dear Zhou Ai...]

Li Minghai's body trembled after seeing these lines of text, and cold sweat broke out all over him!

Zhou Ai.

Dead?!

The Anomaly Zoo was no longer as lively as it used to be.

It was empty inside, without a single person in sight.

Due to the invasion of Anomalies, the zoo was extremely dilapidated.

The ground was covered with various animal feces and dismembered corpses and internal organs.

Some of those internal organs were hanging on tree branches, dripping with thick blood, while others were stuck to the walls, like twisted blood-colored runes.

All the iron cages imprisoning the animals had been torn open, and the animals' internal organs had been ripped out.

Countless dilapidated scenes told Chen Yu.

This place was full of danger and panic.

It also told him that there had been a tragic massacre here.

Han Ningning looked at the scene in front of her and told Chen Yu the information she knew.

From Han Ningning's mouth, he learned.

There were currently three known Anomalies in the zoo.

They were the Ghost Ticket Seller, the Ghost Zookeeper, and an unknown Anomaly.

These three Anomalies were extremely terrifying.

The Investigation Bureau had sent two Ghost Controllers one after another, but they had both died in the Anomaly Zoo and were estimated to have revived within the Anomaly Zoo.

In order to prevent more people from dying in the zoo, the Investigation Bureau directly classified it as an extremely dangerous instance and prohibited ordinary Ghost Controllers from entering.

Chen Yu looked around and smiled slightly.

Anomalies that can cause such great destruction must be quite strong.

They must be delicious to eat, right?

He turned his head and looked at Han Ningning, who was acting as a guide and explaining the ins and outs of the zoo's Anomaly events to him.

When he first met Han Ningning, he had noticed a faint Anomaly aura on her.

Now, after taking a look with his Time Ghost Eye.

He realized that the Anomaly existing on Han Ningning was the Ghostly Smiling Face, a Level 5 Anomaly.

Its potential value was also five stars.

It could be considered a mediocre Anomaly.

No wonder the Investigation Bureau took a fancy to her and allowed her to enter the Orderer Plan.

After explaining everything clearly, Han Ningning finally said, "That's the situation now. I've told you everything I know. The situation here is very complicated and full of hidden dangers."

Chen Yu nodded, not taking it to heart, and said, "It is indeed very dangerous."

Han Ningning glanced at Tong Jian and, seeing that the little girl had been silent, assumed that Tong Jian was frightened. She said worriedly, "Bringing her in, won't she be in danger?"

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Her? Don't worry, no one can hurt her. She's very powerful."

Han Ningning was a little skeptical when she heard this, but she nodded in the end.

She couldn't believe that a little girl in her teens could be that powerful.

The Anomaly Zoo was not far ahead.

The further they went, the more obvious the dilapidated scene became, and the more serious the rotten smell became.

Since the surroundings were slightly dark.

Walking and walking, they suddenly found themselves back where they started!

It felt like they had gone in a circle in the zoo.

"What's going on?"

Han Ningning looked at the path they had taken before.

They had clearly been walking forward the whole time, so how did they end up back at the beginning?

Were they being targeted by an Anomaly?

"There's a ticket booth over there, let's go take a look."

Chen Yu led Han Ningning directly to the ticket booth.

In front of the ticket booth was a glass window.

But the glass was pitch black, as if filled with darkness, and nothing could be seen inside.

And on the glass, there were two holes.

Above one of the holes were the four large characters [Take Ticket to Enter].

The other one had five characters written on it: [Pay Entrance Fee].

No figure could be seen in the dark ticket booth.

Under the pale moonlight.

Chen Yu and Han Ningning were surprised to find that a hand stretched out from the window below the "Pay Entrance Fee" slot, seemingly asking for something.

This hand was pitch black, thin and withered, darker than the night, and looked very terrifying; it was definitely not a human hand.

[Buzz!]

[Do you want to enter the zoo?]

[Then you have to pay the ticket fee.]

[After all, the It of the zoo also needs to live.]

[...]

A phone notification appeared, the tone slightly mocking and playful.

It seemed that this ticket fee would be difficult to accept.

"This is the Ghost Ticket Seller, what It wants must not be simple!"

Han Ningning said with a hint of panic, "I'll try and see what It wants."

"Don't."

Before Han Ningning could step forward, Chen Yu stood in front of her, "Let me do it."

After the voice fell, Chen Yu's thoughts moved, directly driving the Headless Ghost Shadow's Anomaly Ability.

Chen Yu's shadow reflected on the ground actually stood up with a strange whoosh.

Without a word, the Ghost Shadow reached out, replacing Chen Yu, and grasped the dark ghost hand extended from the ticket booth.

The two dark hands held together, looking very strange.

When Han Ningning saw this Ghost Shadow, she was immediately shocked and gasped, her eyes full of astonishment and shock!

Where did this Anomaly come from?

Why was it being controlled by Chen Yu?

She had never seen it before.

Could it be...

Chen Yu controlled two Anomalies?!

The ghost hand extending from the window gently stroked the Headless Ghost Shadow's arm, as if stroking its beloved treasure.

The price It wanted was a part of the body!
