Hearing Si Ye's words, the person knew that his previous actions had angered Si Ye.

After handing the phone to Si Ye and telling him the password, he hurriedly ran far away.

All he wanted now was to escape this place quickly; after all, it was just a phone, and losing it was an acceptable price to pay for escaping danger.Full novel: Mysterious Revival: Card Maker — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Si Ye watched the person's retreating figure and looked in the direction the person had come from.

The city appeared dim, but Dachang City had not lost power yet, and the surrounding streetlights still allowed him to see the situation around him.

Not far away, a short figure appeared.

It was a child who looked about seven or eight years old, with dark blue skin and exposed veins.

The child's eyes were filled with violent bloodlust, and his scarlet eyes looked at Si Ye, his head tilting slightly.

It seemed like confusion, or perhaps just an unconscious imitation of movement.

"Did the voice just now trigger its Killing Rule?"

Si Ye understood that he had likely triggered the Ghost Infant's Killing Rule.

The Ghost Infant has three stages: the first stage's Killing Rule is seeing, the second stage is touching, and the third stage is hearing.

Without giving Si Ye much time to think, the Ghost Infant rushed directly toward Si Ye's position.

Seeing this, Si Ye quickly used the Card he was clutching in his hand—the Flash Card.

Although it was the first time using it, operating the Card seemed like instinct to him.

As soon as the thought appeared in his mind, Si Ye felt his body move automatically.

"Just a Ghost Infant dares to try and touch me? Summon the Starving Ghost."

Si Ye dodged the Ghost Infant's attack with extreme speed, then turned around and mocked the Ghost Infant.

But Si Ye quickly paused; wait, why was he mocking a Ghost Infant? It had no intelligence.

However, Si Ye soon realized the reason.

He had obtained more than just the Card Maker ghost from the Yin Feng Zhen Zhen System.

Besides the Card Maker, there was also a template called the Passionate Youth.

"It really is a Card Player System."

Si Ye muttered a complaint in his heart, immediately taking out a new Card: Kill, and using it.

Si Ye then flung this Card toward the Ghost Infant's position, his voice involuntarily speaking out again.

"Insolent Ghost Infant, how dare you be presumptuous."

The Card shot toward the Ghost Infant, activating the Fierce Ghost of Kill. The moment the Card contacted the Ghost Infant, the creature was split in two.

"So strong!" Si Ye looked at the scene with some astonishment.

Although the Ghost Infant was not a true Fierce Ghost, but merely a special Ghost Slave derived from the Starving Ghost.

Si Ye recalled correctly that some Ghost Controllers couldn't easily kill a Third Stage Ghost Infant, right?

Some weaker Ghost Controllers might not even be able to defeat a Third Stage Ghost Infant alone.

Of course, a large part of that might be because those Ghost Controllers were unwilling to use their full strength right away.

Regardless, killing a Third Stage anomaly with just one Card was a good thing for Si Ye.

This meant he was not weak in terms of offense.

"What a pity, I wanted to test if Pickpocket could be used on the Ghost Infant."

Si Ye felt a bit helpless; using the Card Maker's abilities for the first time still involved too much unfamiliarity.

He couldn't accurately gauge the power level of just the Kill and Flash Cards.

"Kill is not a targeted attack; it can be dodged."

"However, the Fierce Ghosts in the Mysterious Revival World don't seem to have the concept of dodging, so they wouldn't evade the Kill used by the Card Maker."

"And because the Ghost Infant isn't a true Fierce Ghost, it was killed instantly after taking that blow?"

After checking the Ghost Infant's condition and confirming it was dead, and that Pickpocket couldn't be used on it,

Si Ye then started walking in the direction he came from.

He only had four Cards in his hand, all condensed today. Having used two, only two remained, which couldn't guarantee his safety.

Although he could draw more Cards, drawing too many in a short period would undoubtedly place immense strain on the Card Maker ghost.

Even if Si Ye didn't feel much discomfort in his body now, who knew how much danger lay ahead on the road?

Returning to the warehouse location, Si Ye drew two more Cards, and his body showed no significant abnormality.

"Is it because I just gained control of the Fierce Ghost, so using the Supernatural abilities doesn't cause much issue in a short time?"

"Or did the Yin Feng Zhen Zhen System cause the Card Maker to crash while helping me control the ghost?"

Si Ye didn't know the exact situation, but he wouldn't choose this risky path right now.

Taking out his phone, he searched for the location of Guanjiang Residential Area.

This time, nothing unexpected happened, and he quickly found the location of Guanjiang Residential Area.

Not only that, but he also learned that over a week had passed since Dachang City was sealed off.

"The Starving Ghost broke out over a week ago, meaning Yang Jian hasn't crashed yet, and the Coffin Nail hasn't been removed."

Si Ye pondered what he should do next.

First was the identity issue; that was essential. Si Ye didn't want to be an unregistered person, as many things would be inconvenient.

After all, Si Ye needed to eat; he needed to create a fake ID card and a real ID card.

The second thing was the benefits he could gain from the Starvation Ghost Incident.

Si Ye took out the Pickpocket Card, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Wish Ghost, Starving Ghost, Ghost Cabinet, Human Skin Paper—I wonder what kind of Cards I can create."

"But those things are too dangerous. For now, I need to find a slightly weaker Fierce Ghost to test the effect of Pickpocket first."

While Si Ye was thinking, time reached ten o'clock at night.

Although it was night, under the influence of the Starving Ghost, day and night didn't really make much difference.

After resting for over ten hours, Si Ye left the warehouse again and headed toward Guanjiang Residential Area.

One purpose for going to Guanjiang Residential Area was for Si Ye to check on Xiao Yang.

The second purpose was to experiment with the function of Pickpocket.

As of now, within Dachang City, besides Ghost Controllers and the Starving Ghost's Ghost Slaves, there should be no ordinary Fierce Ghosts left.

The remaining Fierce Ghosts were basically entities Si Ye did not want to provoke.

Therefore, the only way for Si Ye to test the ability of Pickpocket was to go to Guanjiang Residential Area.

Si Ye found a car on the roadside; there was a Corpse inside, suggesting the person hadn't managed to get out before being killed by the Ghost Infant.

Si Ye walked over to take a look. The key was still in the ignition, saving him the trouble of finding one.

Si Ye pulled the Corpse out of the driver's seat, then found tissues and a rag in the car to wipe the bloodstains off the windshield and the driver's seat.

After cleaning the driver's seat and the windshield, Si Ye didn't linger and drove the car directly toward Guanjiang Residential Area.

"I forgot there was navigation in the car. I shouldn't have wasted time looking for my phone."

After starting the car, Si Ye slapped his head, looking somewhat helpless.
