Anomaly Earphone + Ghost Doll = Sonar Detector

"Who will save us..."

Before they even approached the enclosure, waves of pained cries for help came from inside!

Animals could speak human language? How was that possible?

After approaching the enclosure.

They saw that what was inside was not animals.

But living people!

Their faces were filled with terror and panic as they wailed and cried for help!

"These people are... Ghost Controllers?!"

Han Ningning cried out in surprise when she saw them!

According to the intelligence, these three Ghost Controllers had been on the list of people who entered the zoo!

Why were they inside the animal enclosure?

"Quick, save me!"

Those Ghost Controllers were already on the verge of death. Their faces were deathly pale, as though every drop of blood had been drained from them, and they could not move.

They could only stare at Chen Yu, sending him pleading looks with their eyes.

"We have to save them!"

Although Han Ningning did not know what they had gone through, seeing them beg so pitifully stirred her compassion. She spoke and was about to go down to save them.

But at that moment.

[Clang! Clang!]

Two crisp sounds rang out.

It sounded like someone striking a washbasin with a mallet.

Chen Yu heard it clearly. This... was the signal for feeding the zoo animals.

His gaze sharpened.

If he was not mistaken, the sound of the basin being struck was likely the Ghost Zookeeper's medium.

As soon as the sound appeared, the three dying Ghost Controllers suddenly widened their eyes, their bodies beginning to rise against their will!

Though they had clearly been on the verge of death, after hearing the sound, they twisted their bones with crackling noises and crawled on the ground. Like animals, they went down on all fours, resembling wild beasts of the mountains and forests. Their joints pierced through their skin, blood flowing like a river, yet they still crawled toward the zookeeper's hut in the distance.

The sight sent a chill down Han Ningning's spine.

Chen Yu, however, was already used to such things.

"Save us! Save me... please!"

When they crawled to the entrance of the hut.

The hut door was pushed open.

A hunched middle-aged man dressed like a zookeeper, his eyes vacant and dull, slowly walked out.

He held a food bowl and a large spoon for striking it.

He was the one who had struck the washbasin just now!

At the sight of him, the three Ghost Controllers crawling on the ground were scared out of their wits.

As if they had experienced something horrifying.

"Food... food... time..."

The Ghost Zookeeper scooped up a spoonful of rotten, foul-smelling flesh from the bowl and fed it into their mouths one by one.

Chen Yu possessed the Time Ghost Eye, giving him exceptional vision.

It was clearly the mashed-up flesh of all kinds of animals.

What was even more terrifying was...

After they ate it.

All reason and humanity vanished from the eyes of the three Ghost Controllers.

They obediently lay at the doorway, as though they had truly become tamed beasts.

Perhaps they had caught the scent of humans.

Their green eyes suddenly turned toward Chen Yu in unison.

Accompanied by beastlike panting rumbling in their throats, the three Ghost Controllers instantly revealed greedy expressions.

The Ghost Zookeeper also noticed something.

Dazedly lifting the food bowl, he began striking it heavily again.

[Clang! Clang! Clang...]

Upon hearing the sound, even from so far away, Han Ningning's mind blanked for a moment, and she nearly got drawn in by it!

[Buzz!]

[You are a lucky one. You actually encountered a Level 6 Anomaly here.]

[It will take your lives.]

Chen Yu and Han Ningning's phones vibrated one after another. When they took them out and looked, they discovered that the Ghost Zookeeper was actually a Level 6 Anomaly!

After hearing that sound.

"W-What is happening to me?!" Han Ningning's expression changed drastically.

She discovered that her entire body had gone cold and was no longer under her control.

The miserable state of the three Ghost Controllers instantly appeared in her mind.

When she looked to the side, Tong Jian, the girl in the red dress, was also walking forward uncontrollably just like her.

Yet Tong Jian remained expressionless, as though nothing that was about to happen had anything to do with her.

"How can she still be this calm in a situation like this?! She is not even blinking!"

"What terrifying beings are around Chen Yu?!"

Han Ningning took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down as well, so she would not seem too useless.—Though she knew she was already very useless.

Han Ningning and Tong Jian's bodies began moving involuntarily toward the Ghost Zookeeper.

Seeing Tong Jian in danger, the Ghost Doll hurriedly began calling out.

"Big sister, you do not want to walk forward."

"Big sister, big brother is behind you. There is nothing over there. You did not see anything."

"You took the wrong path, big sister. The food bowl is behind you~ Hurry and turn around!"

It tried to fabricate all kinds of scenes and implant them into Tong Jian's mind, hoping to make her turn back.

Unfortunately.

Because the Ghost Doll's level was lower than the Ghost Zookeeper's.

Its curse posed little threat to the Ghost Zookeeper!

It could only temporarily slow Tong Jian and Han Ningning's movements.

Han Ningning also began struggling.

She hurriedly activated the Ghostly Smiling Face Anomaly Ability within her body to resist the Ghost Zookeeper's corrosion.

The Ghost Laugh face on the back of her head also kept letting out eerie giggles.

Together with the Ghost Doll's incessant chatter.

They finally drowned out the sound of the food bowl being struck.

The two of them regained a brief moment of clarity.

They absolutely could not sit around and wait for death!

Using Anomalies so heavily, she was certain that her lifespan was rapidly draining away, and more of her hair had turned white.

But she had to protect Tong Jian and herself!

"I absolutely cannot... hold them back anymore!"

"Push harder, Ghostly Smiling Face! Even if I die today, I have to die before this little girl!"

[Buzz!]

[Are you crazy? Why are you so eager to get yourself killed?]

[That is a Level 6 Anomaly!]

[You think your Ghostly Smiling Face can defeat it?]

[What a delusion.]

Mocking words continuously appeared on her phone.

But before Han Ningning could act, Chen Yu seized the initiative and moved first.

He immediately activated the Slaughter Ghost Domain, and everything before his eyes instantly turned into a black-and-white negative.

The Ghost Zookeeper walking toward them slowed down infinitely.

Within the Slaughter Ghost Domain, he was the ruler!

Wherever his gaze reached, everything had to be cut apart!

Slash!

He coldly glanced at the Ghost Zookeeper.

A silent blade swept across the Ghost Zookeeper's body.

Though it seemed like only a single strike.

He had actually unleashed nearly countless slashes in an instant!

When he withdrew the Slaughter Ghost Domain.

The Ghost Zookeeper before them instantly turned into a pile of tiny flesh scraps cut into powder!

Because the Slaughter Ghost Domain could amplify everything around it ten thousandfold.

Chen Yu had turned the Ghost Zookeeper into minced meat in only one ten-thousandth of a second!

It was simply impossible for the naked eye to detect.

Han Ningning had been preparing to risk her life.

But after taking only a few steps, she froze.

Because where was the Ghost Zookeeper?

There was only a pile of meat scraps...

She turned back toward Chen Yu in horror and asked in disbelief, "Y-You did this?"

Chen Yu crossed his arms over his chest. He did not deny it and merely nodded faintly.

Seeing Chen Yu admit it, Han Ningning was utterly shocked!

How had Chen Yu done it?

Chen Yu had been behind her and seemingly had not made a move at all!

How could he possess such a terrifying method?

What kind of ability was this?!

It could instantly slice a Level 6 Anomaly into pieces?

Not even the Ghost Shadow from earlier could do something like this.

While Han Ningning stood there stunned, Chen Yu walked forward, took out a spoon, and began eating the flesh by himself.

The meat that had been cut into tiny fragments was like an unprocessed sausage, carrying the natural saltiness of human sweat. It had quite a unique flavor.

Chen Yu ate Anomalies very quickly.

In less than a few minutes.

He had eaten every last scrap of flesh on the ground.

Tong Jian remained expressionless. Though waves churned in her heart, after seeing it so many times before, she had long grown used to it.

Han Ningning, however, was different.

Everything she had witnessed today had repeatedly shattered her understanding of this world.

What kind of monster was Chen Yu?

How many Anomalies did he have?

Could the Ghost Shadow from earlier not have been his trump card?

The Ghost Zookeeper turned into energy and finally entered the Time Ghost Eye.

The Time Ghost Eye absorbed the energy and gained ten percent experience.

A Level 6 Anomaly truly was extraordinary.

[Buzz!]

[You should worry about yourself instead.]

[You are so weak and powerless, yet you are worrying about him?]

[If you follow him, all you need to do is try your best not to become a burden.]

[Oh, no, that is wrong. Someone as weak as you will always be a burden, even if he does not see you as one.]

[So take better care of yourself.]

The mocking messages on her phone stung Han Ningning's senses.

She bit her red lip, and a feeling of helplessness immediately spread through her entire body.

The gap... was simply too vast.

The shadow that had effortlessly killed the Ghost Ticket Seller earlier, and now... this mysterious Anomaly whose method of attack she did not even understand.

Chen Yu was clearly still at ease, as though he had barely used any strength at all.

Han Ningning's imagination could no longer define just how powerful Chen Yu truly was.

At this moment, she felt like an ant at the foot of Mount Tai, looking up at the altar atop Mount Tai's peak.

And Chen Yu...

Was the Anomaly God upon that altar, using darkness to cover the sky!

[You have obtained an Anomaly Ability!]

[4-Star Potential Quality—Level 6—Ghost Feeding: Who would dare eat what you give them? Unless they no longer want to be human.]

"Now that we've dealt with two anomalies, where's the last one?"

After Chen Yu swallowed the Ghost Zookeeper, he wiped the blood from his mouth and rinsed his hands with water from the sink.

"The last one is an unknown anomaly. Even the Investigation Bureau doesn't know its whereabouts."

Han Ningning said, "But according to our investigation, this anomaly is even more terrifying than the previous two."

Upon hearing the words "even more terrifying,"

Chen Yu not only failed to shrink back, but grew even more excited.

He licked his lips. "Let's go look for it."

"Uh... okay."

Han Ningning only came back to her senses after standing there in a daze for quite some time.

After all, it was her first time seeing someone actively go looking for anomalies.

Shouldn't people normally be hiding from anomalies?

The grim moonlight spilled over the zoo, which was filled with a murderous air.

The dense darkness was gradually dispelled by that chilliness.

The scarlet liquid appeared pitch-black beneath the icy moonlight.

The foul stench filled Chen Yu's nostrils and permeated his lungs.

The trees planted throughout the zoo now resembled eerie tree spirits from a black forest, swaying coquettishly in the wind like Ghosts that could choose someone to kill at any moment.

There were no cute animals here.

Only endless fear.

Endless despair.

Chen Yu led Han Ningning and the others around the zoo once.

They failed to find the anomaly, but Han Ningning's face had gone a little pale from the rotting animal corpses.

They searched for a long time, but still found nothing.

"Where the hell is it hiding?"

Chen Yu sensed his surroundings and discovered that there was indeed still a faint, elusive anomalous aura.

That meant there truly was another anomaly within Anomaly Zoo.

Chen Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and looked at Tong Jian.

"Big Brother, what is it?"

Tong Jian did not speak or move.

But the Ghost Doll strapped to her back stared at Chen Yu with its bean-sized eyes in surprise.

"I know how to lure it out. Do me a favor and use your Anomaly Ability. The louder, the better."

Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Okay."

The Ghost Doll had never expected that it would one day be able to help Chen Yu.

Of course, it would not refuse. The next moment,

its huge mouth, filled with needles and thread, opened and closed.

[Ah! Someone save me!]

[...]

Terrifying screams poured from the Ghost Doll's mouth.

These sounds formed invisible waves, spreading outward like aloe leaves gliding gracefully across the surface of water and creating ripples.

Anomaly Zoo was surrounded by walls on all sides.

The sounds created by the Ghost Doll were a medium for anomalies. They would echo throughout Anomaly Zoo, inevitably touching either humans or anomalies.

Whichever direction returned an abnormal sound wave was where the abnormality lay.

It was basically an anomalous version of a sonar detector.

Naturally, Chen Yu could not hear the fluctuations in the sound waves.

But the Anomaly Earphone could!

Under Han Ningning's puzzled gaze,

Chen Yu summoned the Anomaly Earphone with a thought and put it on.

[Bzzzz!]

Wave after wave of sound rebounded and surged into the Anomaly Earphone Chen Yu was wearing.

Like sonic positioning, Chen Yu closed his eyes and sensed the location of the abnormal sound-wave fluctuations.

His body began to turn.

[Bzzz... beep...]

A strange sound rebounded toward him. Chen Yu immediately turned toward that direction, then opened his eyes. "The anomaly is in this direction!"

There was no one else standing in that direction but Han Ningning.

A teasing smile curled at the corner of Chen Yu's lips.

This...

The Ghost Doll was utterly horrified!

As the anomaly releasing the sound waves, it could naturally sense the location of the abnormal waves with perfect clarity!

It was nowhere else—it was Han Ningning!

No matter where Han Ningning moved, the abnormal sound waves followed her.

[Buzz!]

[Looks like something's been discovered.]

[Didn't expect that, did you? My Old Baby, the anomaly you searched high and low for was right beside you all along~]

[Hahahaha, the show is about to begin.]

[Danger has arrived. Let's see whether you can hold out.]

A series of notifications lit up on the phone.
