Integrating and controlling a Fierce Ghost, even with the help of the Yin Feng Zhen Zhen System, was still an ordeal for Si Ye.
An intense pain felt as if countless ants were gnawing at his body.
Flesh was stripped from his body, only to be replaced by new flesh stitched back in.
Even with Si Ye gritting his teeth and persevering, after a few minutes, the pain became unbearable, causing him to pass out directly.
However, this unconsciousness might actually be a good thing for Si Ye.
At the very least, he wouldn't have to continue enduring such severe agony while conscious.
After an unknown amount of time, Si Ye slowly woke up in the dimly lit warehouse.
"Did I succeed?"
Si Ye looked around groggily; the lack of light prevented him from seeing his surroundings clearly.
Si Ye suppressed the soreness in his body, stood up, found where he had placed his phone earlier, and turned it on.
The current time was seven in the morning.
"I was unconscious for almost a whole day? Fortunately, nothing dangerous happened during that time."
Si Ye closed his eyes and called out to the System in his mind.
However, no entity responded to him at this moment.
"It seems the binding has been removed," Si Ye gave a wry smile.
He wasn't sure if it was disappointment or something else, but he felt an emptiness in his heart.
Perhaps it was because waiting for twenty-four hours resulted in this outcome that made him uncomfortable.
"Forget it, a blessing in disguise."
"At least without the System, I don't need to complete various tasks I don't want to do just for rewards."
For some reason, Si Ye felt his mindset had shifted slightly.
"Is it because I integrated the Passionate Youth Template? Did it make me less afraid of these Fierce Ghosts?"
Si Ye checked his surroundings, found a chair, and sat down to relax his body.
Simultaneously, a rectangular box, palm-sized and adorned with mysterious patterns, appeared in his hand.
This object looked somewhat like a mobile phone, featuring a display screen ten centimeters long and five centimeters wide on the front.
However, there was a groove about five centimeters long on the side of the display screen.
Perhaps calling it a Card Maker would be more appropriate.
Si Ye opened the Card Maker's display screen, and a sentence appeared on it.
Cards currently in the Card Pool:
（Action Card） Kill: Upon use, it can launch one Supernatural Attack.
（Action Card） Dodge: Upon use, it can evade one incoming Supernatural Attack.
（Event Card） Pickpocket: Depending on the Fierce Ghost's strength, it costs a certain number of cards to create one unknown card based on one of the Fierce Ghost's abilities.
（Event Card） Invincible: Can forcibly interrupt the Fierce Ghost's next action, such as a （Supernatural Attack, releasing a Curse, or releasing a Ghost Domain ）.
（Brothers, you don't need to worry too much about the abilities of these cards above; you'll remember them after they appear a few more times. ）
"It really is a card-player System; it's even called Yin Feng Zhen Zhen, no wonder I transmigrated to this kind of world."
Regarding the Mysterious Revival situation, Si Ye pondered for a moment; it did fit the theme of Yin Feng Zhen Zhen.
"But all of that is irrelevant to me now. Next, I should check on Xiao Yang's situation."
Si Ye drew four cards from the Card Maker: Kill, Dodge, Pickpocket, and Invincible.
Without provoking the Card Maker to revive, he could hold a maximum of four cards simultaneously.
Drawing a card from the Card Maker each time required consuming Spiritual Power, stimulating the Fierce Ghost's revival.
As for what kind of card he drew, Si Ye couldn't be sure; obtaining cards was completely random.
The most Si Ye could determine was the *type* of card drawn.
Holding the four cards, Si Ye felt his mood improve significantly.
Pushing open the warehouse door and stepping onto the street, although it was morning, the city appeared incredibly dim.
"Wait, let me think, where did Xiao Yang live?"
"Right, Erlang Shen's Guanjiang Estuary, Guanjiang Residential Area."
Si Ye took out his phone and searched on the map.
However, it was a pity that Si Ye could not find the location of the Guanjiang Residential Area on the map.
"I almost forgot, this phone is an item from another world."
Si Ye slapped his forehead and started wandering around Dachang City.
Because he didn't know the location and didn't even have a map, there was no way for him to find the Guanjiang Residential Area now.
Fortunately, the Starvation Ghost Incident seemed to have just broken out not long ago, as Si Ye found traces of other people after walking some distance on the street.
Si Ye observed a man acting extremely panicked, running in his direction.
The other party seemed to have noticed Si Ye's presence as well and even crossed the road to approach him.
"Running so frantically, is he being chased by something? A Ghost Infant? Does this guy want to divert trouble, or is it an unconscious action?"
Si Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the man with an unreadable expression.
"Brother, lend a hand, I have food here, and I can share it with you later."
The man shouted urgently upon seeing Si Ye.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
To figure out the man's intentions, Si Ye didn't move, merely asking casually.
The man became hesitant when questioned, and his voice turned timid.
"Ah, I-I was just planning to go home; it's too dangerous outside."
"There's a problem!" Seeing the man's demeanor, Si Ye immediately concluded.
Si Ye became vigilant, instinctively taking out a card representing Dodge.
He had been wondering if the man intended to drag him along to run, but now it seemed the other party just wanted him to buy some time.
"I was too naive; in a scenario like this apocalypse, one shouldn't count on good people."
While they were talking, the man reached Si Ye's side and prepared to run further away.
However, just then, Si Ye reached out and stopped him.
"Give me your phone, and I'll stay here to block whatever is behind you."
Although he disliked the man, Si Ye didn't say anything or attack him.
Killing the person in front of him would only be a waste of time for Si Ye, as the man wasn't a Ghost Controller; they weren't on the same level.
The man looked confused upon hearing this, but when he heard Si Ye knew what was chasing him and yet dared to stay, suspicion flickered in his eyes.
He had considered many possibilities when encountering such a situation.
Hearing Si Ye's words, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you with the authorities? Someone specialized in handling these things?"
"No. Just give me the phone and tell me the password,"
Si Ye glanced at him and said coldly.
Although he hadn't planned to kill the man, Si Ye had no good feelings toward someone who intended to harm him.
The main reason he didn't kill him was simply not wanting to waste Spiritual Power on him.
Si Ye wasn't sure if controlling the Fierce Ghost Card Maker had enhanced his physical body.
If there was no enhancement, dealing with an Ordinary People without using Spiritual Power would be quite troublesome.
