Si Ye paused upon hearing Zhang Han's question and didn't answer immediately.
Seeing this, Zhang Han gave a wry smile: "I don't know your situation, but your family members are probably not here."
"So if you choose to leave next, I won't say anything if you find a safe place to stay alone."
"However, I still hope you can stay. It might not be safer outside than it is here."
"Of course, I have selfish motives for persuading you like this; one more Ghost Controller means one more layer of safety here."
Si Ye heard this and gently shook his head: "I don't really care."
"But in this Ghost Domain of the Starving Ghost that only consumes ghosts, does one more Ghost Controller really make it safer than a group of Ordinary People?" Si Ye asked calmly.
Zhang Han's expression changed upon hearing this.
"Don't be nervous, it was just a joke. If you really leave, it will be the most dangerous for your family."
Si Ye smiled when he saw Zhang Han's appearance.
"Let's go out for a walk and check the situation in the residential area."
Zhang Han nodded with a solemn expression.
As the two walked through Guanjiang Residential Area, they did encounter some Ghost Infants.
However, for the time being, there weren't many Ghost Infants; it seemed more like a single Ghost Infant was wandering here unconsciously.
"It's safe for now, I need to go back too." After clearing the Ghost Infants that had entered the residential area, Zhang Han bid farewell to Si Ye.
Si Ye heard this and walked back toward the room he had been in previously.
However, halfway there, his expression suddenly changed.
"I'm being targeted?"
Si Ye frowned and looked around, realizing he had unknowingly walked into an encirclement of Ghost Infants.
"Is the Wish Ghost controlling these Ghost Infants to attack me?"
"No, that's not right. If the Wish Ghost wanted to kill me, it wouldn't need to be this troublesome; it could just attack directly. Perhaps it's something else."
Si Ye looked around; there were at least a dozen Ghost Infants surrounding him.
Si Ye looked behind him. The street was empty; Zhang Han was already a long distance away from him.
He couldn't even hear the sound of the other person's footsteps now.
"Give me the Card held by the Starving Ghost, and I'll let you leave."
Just as Si Ye became vigilant, a cold, eerie voice sounded.
Si Ye recognized the voice; it was Zhao Kaiming.
"Zhao Kaiming, I didn't expect you to be targeting me." Si Ye's expression turned cold.
"You actually remember me? But none of this matters now. Give me six Cards, and I'll let you leave."
Zhao Kaiming showed no change in expression upon being recognized, slowly stepping out of the darkness to stare coldly at Si Ye.
"I observed your situation. Killing one Ghost Infant requires one Card, and evading one attack also requires one Card."
"With this many Ghost Infants, even if you can win, you'll need to spend over ten Cards. Now, if you give me six Cards, I can let you leave."
Si Ye looked at Zhao Kaiming as he emerged, and hearing his words, he let out a light laugh instead.
"Heh heh, it seems you think you have me cornered?"
Zhao Kaiming's appearance had indeed given Si Ye a serious sense of crisis initially.
However, hearing his statement, Si Ye guessed that Zhao Kaiming must have already separated from the Wish Ghost.
If the Wish Ghost were still by Zhao Kaiming's side, it wouldn't allow Zhao Kaiming to make such demands of Si Ye.
Instead, it would choose to kill Si Ye directly and take the ghosts on him to feed the Starving Ghost.
Zhao Kaiming was very likely plotting for what comes after he breaks away from the Wish Ghost.
After all, according to the terms of Zhao Kaiming's deal with the Wish Ghost, once Zhao Kaiming helped the Wish Ghost find a suitable body.
The Wish Ghost would resurrect Zhao Kaiming's family and then leave him.
Having witnessed the danger of Fierce Ghosts, Zhao Kaiming naturally didn't want his family to be without protection after they were resurrected.
At this moment, Si Ye's appearance, and the Card the Starving Ghost had obtained through the transaction.
This was exactly the hope Zhao Kaiming needed to gain self-preservation ability after leaving the Wish Ghost.
"You've thought it through well. Over a dozen Ghost Infants can indeed pose a threat to me, but I regret to inform you of one thing."
Si Ye said playfully, "The Cards in my possession lose their effect after being separated from me for a period of time."
"That's impossible! I clearly saw him holding one of your Cards."
Zhao Kaiming paused, then his expression turned cold, killing intent flashing in his eyes. "Are you trying to trick me?"
"Trick you? What benefit would that bring me?" Si Ye's face remained unchanged as he drew a Card in his hand.
"You can try to recall if I threw a Card at a Ghost Infant earlier, but that Card failed to take effect on the Ghost Infant and eventually lost its effect."
Zhao Kaiming closed his eyes upon hearing this and tried to recall carefully.
"I do remember you throwing a Card at a Ghost Infant, but your words are not enough to convince me," Zhao Kaiming shook his head.
"Is that so? Do you need me to hand you a Card to test it out?" Si Ye flicked the Card in his hand.
"But how do I know that after you confirm what I said is true, you won't continue to attack me? Silencing me?"
"But never mind, I'll let you try it then."
Si Ye threw the Flash Card in his hand directly toward Zhao Kaiming.
Zhao Kaiming frowned slightly upon seeing this, instinctively wanting to dodge.
However, he quickly reacted, realizing his current state was special and he wouldn't truly die.
Zhao Kaiming caught the Flash Card Si Ye threw, and just as he was about to examine the situation, he noticed the Flash Card beginning to lose its color.
The Flash Card, which looked like hard paper, became old and bent within a few seconds.
After more than ten seconds, the Flash Card had completely lost its color, turning into something like Paper Ash.
"It lost its effect?" Zhao Kaiming frowned slightly and asked Si Ye.
However, Si Ye's shadow was nowhere to be seen at this moment.
"He ran?" Zhao Kaiming closed his eyes, seemingly using some kind of Supernatural ability.
Although his eyes were closed, his head was constantly turning left and right, as if searching for Si Ye's figure.
"He got away fast, but never mind. Now that I've confirmed this type of Card can't be used, I have no need to look for him anymore."
Zhao Kaiming pondered for a moment, then walked toward the distant darkness with the dozen or so Ghost Infants.
Although he had the thought of killing Si Ye to silence him, preventing Si Ye from retaliating against his family later.
But at this moment, being controlled by the Wish Ghost, he didn't have much free time.
Moreover, in Zhao Kaiming's estimation, only he and his family would survive the Starvation Ghost Incident in Dachang City.
Si Ye's chance of surviving this Starvation Ghost Incident was almost zero.
As Zhao Kaiming left, Si Ye, who had been hiding in place, breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zhao Kaiming went to retrieve the Card he had thrown.
Si Ye, knowing he couldn't delay, decisively used a Card: Hide in the Cabinet.
Fortunately, that guy Zhao Kaiming didn't search the area for too long.
Otherwise, after ten minutes, Si Ye, having lost the protection of that Card, would have had no choice but to fight.
