The Ghost Cabinet received the conditions written by Si Ye but did not provide an answer as it had before.
Under Si Ye's slightly puzzled gaze, after a while, the Ghost Cabinet finally replied again.
A sentence was added below the note.
"Give me three Cards."
Seeing this sentence, Si Ye actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Condensing three Cards did indeed require some expenditure from him, but it wasn't as much as he had imagined.
Four or five days had already passed since entering the Hospital; condensing just three Cards wouldn't trigger a Ghost Revival like before.
However, after using supernatural abilities, a period of pain during nighttime rest was unavoidable.
Si Ye took out the Pickpocket Card; besides that, he held a Ghost Infant Rocking Horse, one Kill, and one Dodge in his hand.
Si Ye couldn't possibly hand over the Ghost Infant Rocking Horse to the Ghost Cabinet, so he directly recalled the Ghost Infant Rocking Horse Card and condensed a new Basic Card.
After confirming he held two Kills and one Dodge, Si Ye then used the Pickpocket Card.
"Then, a pleasant cooperation."
Pickpocket was stuck onto the Ghost Cabinet by Si Ye, and the three Cards in his hand began to disappear.
Simultaneously, a new Card was condensed by Si Ye.
"Hide in the Cabinet?"
Si Ye looked at the Card condensed in his hand and unconsciously read it aloud.
"Is it an illusion? I always feel like the names of these condensed Cards are a bit improper."
Si Ye shook his head and looked closely at the ability description of this Card.
（Event Card）Hide in the Cabinet: Spend one Card to rent the Cabinet from the Ghost Cabinet; you can hide inside for ten minutes, but do not make any noise. Within those ten minutes, neither humans nor ghosts can discover you. The Cabinet cannot move on its own.
"It allows me to be safe for ten minutes? Similar to the Ghost Candle, but unfortunately, I can't move. In a way, its ability is stronger than the Ghost Candle."
"However, in certain situations, the utility of this Card is less than that of a single Ghost Candle."
Si Ye looked at the Ghost Cabinet Card's description, appearing somewhat disappointed.
He had thought he would obtain a Card centered around the Ghost Cabinet's trading methods, but instead, he got this kind of ability.
Si Ye looked at the Ghost Cabinet, pondering whether it had displayed this kind of ability in the Original Work.
"Right, after Yang Jian split the Ghost Cabinet, the Ghost Cabinet followed Yang Jian in a way that others couldn't see, through a Curse."
"Speaking of which, this Card should also be derived from that method."
"It's just that the Ghost Cabinet can be seen by Yang Jian, while I won't be seen by anyone, but I also cannot make a sound."
"Forget it, it's barely acceptable, but giving up three Cards is a bit of a loss; the value of this ability should only be two Cards."
Si Ye shook his head; the ability obtained via Pickpocket was not created according to what Si Ye had in mind.
What ability Pickpocket could obtain depended entirely on luck.
Si Ye seriously suspected whether it was because his tone wasn't inspiring enough when he used Pickpocket just now.
"Does a more inspiring tone lead to better luck with Cards?" Si Ye pondered, pinching his chin.
"I'll try it next time if I get the chance. When Yang Jian suppresses the Starving Ghost, I'll say it more inspiringly when using Pickpocket."
After putting away the newly acquired Card, Si Ye walked out of the room and restored the door to its original appearance.
Returning to his room, Si Ye didn't condense a new Card immediately.
For now, Guanjiang Residential Area was relatively safe.
Si Ye didn't need to use supernatural abilities too frequently; he would wait until after resting for a day before condensing a new Card.
If any danger truly arose, he could also condense a new Card instantly.
Back in the room, nothing unexpected happened for the rest of the time.
Everything, in Si Ye's view, seemed to be no different from the situation in the Original Work.
His arrival had basically caused no change to the Starvation Ghost Incident.
What worried Si Ye slightly was that he had used a Pickpocket on that Fourth Stage Ghost Infant, paying a Dodge as the cost.
He hoped that Dodge wouldn't bring about any unexpected changes.
Time slowly passed; it was the fifth day since Yang Jian left.
Even Guanjiang Residential Area had become dark like other places, without a single trace of light.
A black and blue haze enveloped the area, devouring this last place that held light.
Si Ye stayed in his room, putting away the instant noodles he had just finished eating, his expression turning solemn.
There was a generator in the residential area, managed by someone daily; the power outage here was clearly abnormal.
At this time, a power outage could only mean one thing: the Ghost Infant had already invaded here.
Turning on the flashlight he had prepared in advance, Si Ye slowly walked out of the room.
"Two more days."
Si Ye muttered softly to himself and walked Downstairs.
"Stomp! Stomp-stomp!"
Just as Si Ye reached the second floor, footsteps suddenly sounded Downstairs.
Si Ye frowned slightly and shone the flashlight Downstairs.
Due to the Ghost Domain, the flashlight could only illuminate an area of about five meters at this time.
"Si Ye, don't worry, it's me, Zhang Han," the person Downstairs seemed to sense Si Ye's abnormality and quickly shouted.
"Why did you come over?" Si Ye frowned, asking as he walked Downstairs after hearing the other person's voice.
"Of course, I came to find you. After all, Yang Jian is missing, and now we are the only two Ghost Controllers." Zhang Han said.
"Professor Wang and the others have already entered the Safe House, and it's very difficult to contact them now, but clearly, we can't rely on them."
"You can't contact him either?"
Si Ye was startled; he thought that as a Ghost Controller wielding two ghosts, Zhang Han should have had quite a bit of contact with Wang Xiaoming during this time.
"I could contact him before, but unfortunately, we are not Ghost Controllers from Headquarters and don't have that special Golden Walkie-talkie, so we lost contact after the Guanjiang Residential Area was invaded."
Zhang Han looked at Si Ye walking Downstairs, helpless.
Si Ye nodded; this was understandable. With the Ghost Domain invasion, the residential area had already lost power.
The signal was naturally interfered with.
In a Ghost Domain, even a Golden Walkie-talkie couldn't guarantee a signal 100%, let alone their ordinary cell phones.
"What are your plans now?" Si Ye asked.
"I plan to stay in the residential area for now. My family is all here, so I naturally have to guard the brief tranquility here," Zhang Han said solemnly.
"Actually, this is also why I came to find you."
Zhang Han gave a wry smile, "Professor Wang and the others checked your information, but they didn't find anything useful."
"However, in the face of a Supernatural Incident, even if there are issues with your identity, it doesn't matter much; the main thing is to survive."
"I must protect Guanjiang Residential Area for my family. What about you? What are your plans next?"
