As Si Ye shot out a Card, suppressing the last Third Stage Ghost Infant ahead.
Zhang Han also seized this opportunity, the Ghost Within the Body suddenly erupted, repelling the two previous stage Ghost Infants.
Successfully opening a Passage that could barely be considered safe, allowing everyone to proceed toward one of the rooms.
Following Zhang Han, who was clearing the way in front, the group smoothly entered a building.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo!!!"
Just after entering the room, Zhang Han was already panting heavily from exhaustion.
Si Ye entered the room second. He first observed the situation inside the room, and after confirming no Ghost Infants were present,
he finally breathed a sigh of relief and found a relatively safe Position to stand.
Next were Wang Xiaoming and the others.
Si Ye observed the condition of the others.
Although Sun Yi stood in the middle of the group, responsible for protecting Wang Xiaoming's safety, seemingly facing little danger,
it was a pity that Sun Yi's strength was too weak; the ghost he controlled possessed almost no combat capability.
Even if one or two Ghost Infants missed by the group approached Wang Xiaoming, he would need to exert all his strength to resist.
Then Si Ye looked toward Zhao Kaiming and the other Ghost Controller.
Their situation was much worse than Si Ye had imagined.
Zhao Kaiming exuded a chilling aura, his demeanor becoming strange, though he showed no physical injuries.
The other Ghost Controller was far more miserable than Zhao Kaiming.
That person had several dark palm prints on him, but the Fierce Ghost he controlled seemed rather special, possessing strong defensive capabilities.
Even though the person had been marked by several Ghost Infants on his body, he had not died.
"Professor Wang, what do we do now? Should we jump out the window?" Zhang Han's expression was solemn as he stared intently at Wang Xiaoming.
It wasn't just him; everyone except Si Ye and Zhao Kaiming adopted the same posture.
Although Wang Xiaoming had a great reputation, at this critical moment where life and death hung in the balance,
if Wang Xiaoming's next reason didn't show them an opportunity, they clearly wouldn't continue listening to Wang Xiaoming and fight to the death here.
"The condition is very poor. If we continue, there's a high chance of dying here from Ghost Revival."
The Ghost Controller standing next to Zhao Kaiming struck out, repelling a Ghost Infant that was trying to follow them in.
Zhang Han moved to the doorframe, helping Zhao Kaiming and that person resist the Ghost Infants.
Si Ye walked to the window, checking if any Ghost Infants might climb in from outside.
"Hiding in a room is not safe. What we see inside the Ghost Domain might not be real," Zhao Kaiming said coldly.
"Perhaps the walls we see now are actually rows of Ghost Infants in reality."
"Pat!"
Suddenly, a faint green light illuminated the room.
Si Ye turned his head; it turned out Wang Xiaoming had lit the Red Ghost Candle in his hand.
"We truly cannot confirm the current situation, so I chose to light the Ghost Candle. The Ghost Candle can temporarily protect us from being attacked by Fierce Ghosts."
"Moreover, once the Ghost Candle is lit, its light can illuminate the surroundings, allowing us to confirm the current situation."
Wang Xiaoming looked around; this was not a real room.
On the contrary, the group had walked into the encirclement of Ghost Infants.
Not far in front of Si Ye stood two Ghost Infants, but they were now blocked by the candlelight.
It wasn't just Si Ye; several Ghost Infants were also surrounding Zhang Han and the unnamed Ghost Controller.
"It seems the Ghost Candle was used at the right time; we haven't suffered further losses."
Wang Xiaoming saw the surrounding situation clearly but showed no panic.
"While the Ghost Candle provides safety, everyone should quickly recover some stamina."
Saying this, Wang Xiaoming glanced at the Ghost Candle in his hand; it was burning intensely.
"This Ghost Candle can probably last for another ten minutes. Surrounded by Ghost Infants, this short time is not enough for us to get downstairs."
"Let's find a relatively safe room first to recover some stamina."
Wang Xiaoming raised the Ghost Candle and led the group toward the end of the corridor.
An extremely strange scene unfolded. Perhaps it was because they triggered the Killing Rule of a Fierce Ghost.
Every step the group took forward, the Ghost Infants behind them would advance one step.
And the Ghost Infants that were originally in front of them all retreated one step in succession.
Time passed second by second; under the encirclement of the Ghost Infants, their forward speed was not fast.
Si Ye took advantage of this opportunity and drew another Card.
"Indeed, destiny is with me."
Si Ye glanced at the Card in his hand and his expression brightened; he had successfully drawn a Card.
Perhaps due to being too Inspiring, even though there was no fighting happening, Si Ye's emotions had not calmed down.
"Destiny?" Zhang Han looked at Si Ye strangely.
"Brother, I'm very curious, so I just want to ask you: when you use Supernatural abilities while speaking strange words, is it because of the Fierce Ghost?"
Si Ye heard this, glanced at Zhang Han, and did not answer him immediately, instead beginning to ponder.
"It's not like I absolutely need you to answer, but in Dachang City's current situation, there's really no great hope in sight."
Zhang Han chuckled wryly. It was normal for someone not to reveal intelligence about themselves if they didn't want to.
"If possible, I hope I can die without any doubts."
"There's nothing to hide. Using this Ghostly Anomaly doesn't have such a requirement," Si Ye said calmly.
Si Ye did not tell the other person why he spoke that way, only that it wasn't due to the Fierce Ghost.
As for what the other person would think, that was up to him.
Whether he regarded Si Ye as an overly dramatic youth or a lunatic made no difference to Si Ye.
Conversely, for Si Ye, being underestimated at this time was more advantageous.
After all, Si Ye at this stage had not yet successfully developed; if he were targeted by some powerful Ghost Controller, it might cause trouble.
"Huh?" Zhang Han paused upon hearing this, then gave a bitter smile:
"Then you truly are optimistic, maintaining that style of speech in such an unknown situation."
"What use is being timid? Will it let you live longer? Or will it solve the Ghost Revival?" Si Ye retorted.
"That indeed serves no purpose, but it lets you live a bit longer, doesn't it?"
Zhang Han wasn't concerned that a Newcomer like Si Ye knew about Ghost Revival, assuming Yang Jian had told him.
"After all, using Supernatural abilities too frequently can cause a person to die quickly."
Si Ye shook his head: "There's no difference between living for one month and living for thirty months."
"Waiting for death slowly while consumed by fear is worse than dying in some Supernatural Incident while holding onto the hope of finding a way out."
"At least that way, one won't be tormented by fear."
