Yuan Muye said coldly, "When did I promise to let you go?"

It was then that the evil ghosts realized they had been tricked.

Enraged, the evil ghosts had no choice but to curse Yuan Muye.

"Curse if you want. In a little while, even if you want to curse, you might not have the chance," Yuan Muye said indifferently, then ignored them.

"Negative emotions from the evil ghosts +999..."

In a short while, Yuan Muye had collected several thousand negative emotions, enough to buy props.

Yuan Muye didn't dare delay and immediately spent several thousand negative emotions to buy a Kongming lantern (sky lantern).

When he received the Kongming lantern, he was a bit surprised. He never thought that this little thing would cost him several thousand negative emotions.

But the system was always like this, so what could he do?

Yuan Muye sighed helplessly, then asked the system how to use the Kongming lantern.

The system told him that the Kongming lantern could only be used at night.

Now Yuan Muye was completely exasperated.

"Are you kidding me? If I release the Kongming lantern at night, wouldn't that attract a large number of evil ghosts? Even if I find the person, it will cause trouble!" Yuan Muye rattled off a string of complaints.

The system's tone was still calm: "Host, don't worry. The evil ghosts can't see the Kongming lantern."

"Really? Don't try to fool me!" Yuan Muye found it a bit unbelievable. Unless those evil ghosts were all blind, how could they not see it?

"Please don't doubt me, Host!" The system seemed a bit displeased.

Hearing the system say this, Yuan Muye didn't say anything else. He was afraid of angering the system, and then it would deduct his negative emotions again. It wasn't easy to get negative emotions now, so he could only restrain his emotions.

Since it wasn't dark yet, he could only do other things first.

Yuan Muye hesitated for a moment, then tried to contact Director Zhou and the others again.

Fortunately, this time the call went through.

Soon, Director Zhou's voice came from the phone.

"Deputy Director Yuan, have you returned?" Director Zhou's voice was very soft, as if he was in a very hidden place, afraid of being overheard if he spoke too loudly.

Yuan Muye hummed and said, "I'm back. Where are you now? I'll come find you."

"It's best if you don't come. There are evil ghosts everywhere here," Director Zhou said seriously.

"Director Zhou, what are you saying? Do you want me to back down? Besides, how can I just stand by and watch something happen to you? Tell me the address!"

Yuan Muye said anxiously.

He knew that something must have happened to Director Zhou's side.

Director Zhou hesitated at first, but after Yuan Muye pressed him, he finally told him the location.

After getting the address, Yuan Muye didn't dare to delay and immediately went over. In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at the place. Sure enough, it was as Director Zhou had said, evil ghosts were all around.

The evil ghosts obviously knew that there were people here, which was why they were staying around.

If Yuan Muye went over openly like this, he would definitely be discovered by the evil ghosts. It wasn't that he was afraid of those evil ghosts, but he was worried that if he attracted those evil ghosts over, it would cause some unnecessary trouble. He came to find Director Zhou mainly to understand the situation. He didn't want to confront those evil ghosts head-on yet.

At this moment, Ghost Advisor seemed to see through his thoughts and suddenly said, "Master, how about I go out and lure them away?"

Hearing this, Yuan Muye immediately nodded. It would be best if Ghost Advisor could lure all those evil ghosts away.

"Okay!"

Ghost Advisor immediately came out of the Dharma artifact and went to lure the evil ghosts away.

In just a moment, all the evil ghosts were lured away by Ghost Advisor.

Just as Yuan Muye was about to go over, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. He thought he had been discovered by an evil ghost and turned around vigilantly, but he didn't expect to see a familiar face.

It was the girl from last time.

The girl looked at Yuan Muye calmly and said softly, "You've finally returned!"

Yuan Muye was stunned for a moment, then asked the girl, "Why are you here?"

"Otherwise? If I weren't here, those people would probably already be dead," the girl said calmly.

The people she was talking about were undoubtedly Director Zhou and the others.

Hearing the girl say this, Yuan Muye finally understood why those evil ghosts were just wandering around and not searching. It turned out that someone was protecting Director Zhou and the others.

"Then I'll thank you on their behalf," Yuan Muye said, looking at the girl.

Although he still didn't know the girl's true identity, he had already guessed a thing or two.

The girl didn't say much, just said, "Alright, don't say those polite words. Hurry up and go find them!"

After speaking, the girl led Yuan Muye to find Director Zhou and the others.

Director Zhou and the others were hiding in a dark and cramped basement. Yuan Muye roughly looked around. There were about forty or fifty people, including several captains, but they were all injured.

When Qi Feng saw Yuan Muye, he was like someone who had seen hope. He dragged his injured leg and walked up to him, his voice a bit choked, "You've finally returned. If you hadn't, we might have all died here."

Yuan Muye had known Qi Feng for so long, and this was the first time he had seen him like this.

Qi Feng hadn't cried even when their Seventh Supernatural Team had an accident before, but now he was as aggrieved as a child.

But it was understandable. After all, just a few days ago, Yun City was still very lively, but now, Yun City was shrouded in Yin energy, the streets were deathly silent, and not even a shadow of a living person could be seen.

Anyone would be like this if it happened to them.

Yuan Muye gently patted Qi Feng on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry."

Qi Feng nodded. He completely trusted Yuan Muye now.

Because other than that, he had no other choice.

"Director Zhou, is this all that's left of us?" Yuan Muye asked with a serious expression.

Director Zhou sighed helplessly and said, "I don't know how many people are left. We were scattered from the first day those evil ghosts attacked the city."

Speaking of this matter, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Although Director Zhou also wanted to protect Yun City, his abilities were limited, and he couldn't deal with so many evil ghosts.

Now they were either dead or injured, leaving only this few people, so Director Zhou didn't dare to act rashly.
