When Han Su was eager to pierce the Ghost Freight Truck with his spear, the truck went wild.
What kind of bad luck was this? To encounter a madman, fearless of death, who had climbed on top of his body and was recklessly destroying everything?
The invisible fear and inescapable trouble made the truck resemble a mad bull, turning in the thick fog, attempting to shake Han Su off the roof. But Han Su’s control over his body and his reflexes were at their peak.
His left hand was like an iron clamp gripping the Ghost Freight Truck, while his body swayed with the truck’s movements, resisting the centrifugal force.
To Xu Ji, who was beside him, Han Su now seemed like a crazy knight taming a wild horse.
“Woo…”
The surrounding wind tore and collided, with countless faint and fleeting sounds of panic and howls creeping into their ears.
The fear and anxiety of the Ghost Freight Truck affected the surrounding vengeful ghosts. They gathered on the truck, climbing onto it and filling the Ghost Truck, their haggard claws stretching toward Han Su.
“It’s time…”
But Han Su had no time to worry about them.Blood from his right eye streamed down his face, his expression one of fierce determination.
The Ghost Freight Truck was too large, its shell too thick. Melting it had already consumed too much of his spiritual power.
But fortunately, he had finally breached it.
Through his blurry vision, he saw beneath the half-melted metal skin, a strange thing combining a metal engine, unknown flesh, and a pile of human hearts.
It appeared as if a machine was turning, but the hearts were pounding madly, pumping a blood-like substance powerfully into various pipes.
Seeing this maddening thing, Han Su gritted his teeth, raised the Nail of the Dead Sea high, and stabbed down into it with all his strength.
“Chh!”
The Nail of the Dead Sea, crackling with blue arcs of electricity, instantly pierced the outer melted shell and thrust directly into the core of the Ghost Freight Truck.
...
...
“How is it down there?”
Outside in the thick fog, on the slopes, countless anxious eyes were staring down into the mist.
The people outside could only hear the faint roar of the engine, and upon listening closely, they could hear what sounded like human gasps, howls, and some mysterious vibrations mixed with incantations. The nature of the Ghost Freight Truck made it difficult to see what was happening inside.
They only knew there was something inside fighting, which made them tense.
Some even found it strange: they had spent so much money hiring these people, why were they just staying here to block things off instead of gathering their forces and resolving the issue?
“This guy usually seems so honest, always smiling at everyone, but deep down, he’s tough…”
Among the crowd, Secretary Cui Qiao, dressed in a black suit, sat in a disguised armored vehicle, listening to the noises from the fog below, feeling waves of worry:
What a great opportunity…
The Disaster Management Bureau had always struggled with the Ghost Freight Truck because it was hard to lure it out, but now they had succeeded.
If she went down to help, wouldn’t that make it easy to handle the situation?
Unfortunately, Director Zhang’s orders were only for her to stay hidden among those commissioned people, observing their movements, so she could only follow orders. She had to abandon her distractions and patiently wait here, occasionally glancing at the fog.
“That person from the Xu family spent three ancient gold coins, and they only had me protect this level of execution personnel?”
While everyone was focusing on the roars and engine noises from the mist below, in the northwest direction, Wei Lan sat lazily atop a car in the convoy, wearing a cat-face mask.
Her long legs were wrapped in tight jeans. She was holding a phone, with the game still running, but for some reason, she couldn’t get into it.
She had faced similar confrontations countless times before, and this level wasn’t even that high, so why was she feeling a bit nervous?
She analyzed it: Perhaps it was because of the Xu family’s attention that she was curious about this young man down below fighting for his life against the mechanical grotesque?
And just then, in the air outside the fog, the wind from the wilderness whistled, carrying a faint eerie scent.
People stationed at various blockade positions suddenly looked up with heightened awareness.
They weren’t just here to watch, they had accepted a commission.
The task was to ensure that no surreal forces passed through the boundary they were guarding. Therefore, besides preventing anything inside from escaping, it also meant not allowing anything from the outside to casually break in.
For a moment, they couldn’t discern exactly what it was, but they vaguely sensed a probing gaze from the direction of Qinggang City’s lights in the northwest.
This gaze seemed to carry a sense of arrogance, cutting through the surrounding blockade positions, aiming to enter that area.
“There’s something strange!”
Almost immediately, someone at a corresponding blockade position reacted.
The role of the blockade positions was clear: once in place, they formed an isolated space. When this arrogant, probing gaze entered, it was like forcibly breaking through the barrier established by all the people at these positions.
Countless people used their abilities, deploying various sealing forces, immediately blocking the intrusive gaze.
But the gaze from Qinggang City shifted rapidly, seemingly without the intention of engaging with anyone. If one place couldn’t be entered, it immediately changed direction.
In the blink of an eye, it had moved several times, finally reaching Wei Lan’s position. After several attempts, it seemed to grow frustrated, selecting this spot to forcefully penetrate.
“Finally, something to do?”
Wei Lan’s eyes gleamed coldly beneath her cat-face mask, and she quickly raised her right hand, still holding the phone, her long white fingers swiftly drawing a mysterious symbol in the air. Instantly, the air filled with strange, translucent glass-like traces, forming a wall of mirrors in the night sky.
“Ding-ling-dong-lung…”
Above her head, the sound of strange collisions echoed, and the translucent, patched traces immediately began to show signs of collapse.
Wei Lan’s expression darkened: ‘The entity trying to invade this area has a high status.’
Her vigilance caused her to instinctively reach for something in her bag. She didn’t even think twice about whether this precious item was worth using here.
But fortunately, the gaze only made an attempt before retreating, quietly dissipating and blending with the wind in the air.
Wei Lan furrowed her brows and slowly got off the motorcycle: “Tried to invade and left?”
Others stationed at the blockade positions shared the same sentiment, their eyes confused as they looked up at the vast night sky.
Some had an uneasy feeling: This seemingly well-paid commission seemed to involve something of a higher status, and if the other side had only tested the waters, they were relieved. Otherwise, they didn’t know if they’d even be able to earn the money…
“Crack, crack…”
Just as they let out a sigh of relief, a nearby utility pole outside the blockade position flickered with dazzling electric sparks.
Then another utility pole closer to the blockade position did the same.
It was as if some fierce and terrifying power was quickly invading through the overhead electric wires.
Under the night sky, the utility poles, towering like withered giants in the wilderness, seemed to transform into its avatars, the electric sparks shifting positions like footsteps in midair, quickly advancing toward the mist.
“Not good…”
The first to react was Secretary Cui Qiao. As soon as the probing gaze had appeared, she had already vaguely guessed something, and waves of shock surged in her heart. She even felt a bit fortunate that Han Su had prepared so thoroughly and arranged for these personnel.
‘Whose probing gaze is this from Qinggang?’
‘Judging by the level, the owner of this gaze may have even more oppressive force than those independent investigators…’
‘We’re in the wilderness now, Miss Ai can’t provide enough protection, if this person is…’
‘…’
Before she could finish her thought, she saw the change and realized that the probing gaze hadn’t disappeared.
Instead, it had gathered power and forcefully invaded with a more domineering and aggressive approach.
“Crack, crack…”
As the electric sparks rapidly approached, everyone at the blockade position near the utility pole felt immense pressure. The sound of broken glass echoed in their ears, followed by pale faces and blood seeping from their five senses.
Some even fell without making a sound, lying rigidly on the ground, their eyes wide open, pupils dispersing, their bodies devoid of breath.
They had died without a struggle.
At that blockade position, the only ones who didn’t die were those who reacted quickly, realizing that the invasion was too powerful and immediately abandoned any plans to resist it.
In less than a second, their collapse led to the loss of control at the entire blockade position. The probing gaze shot through, unimpeded, and quickly advanced toward the mist.
But at that very moment, Secretary Cui Qiao jumped out of the vehicle. She moved quickly in her high heels, and within a few flashes, she was at the nearest utility pole, placing her palm on it.
The dazzling electric light darted like an electric snake, intertwining and targeting the force invading from the center.
With a crackling sound of electric sparks, the sky seemed to explode in fireworks.
Secretary Cui Qiao felt her whole body tingle, her hair standing on end. An indescribable massive force descended from above, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, her spiritual power running wild as it raced through her brain.
‘I can’t fight back!’
She instinctively reached this conclusion.
She didn’t know who this probing gaze from Qinggang belonged to, but the disparity in status was so great that she couldn’t stop it. All she could do was watch it invade the hunting ground.
‘This kid’s in trouble…’
