Si Ye followed the group up just a few Floors, and his positioning immediately became awkward.
An inexplicable sense of oppression appeared in everyone's hearts; their bodies seemed to instinctively resist this place.
Sun Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked around in terror.
It wasn't just Sun Yi; everyone else also sensed that something was wrong.
Si Ye constantly scanned his surroundings, trying to locate any potential Ghost Infants.
Although they hadn't truly seen a Ghost Infant appear before them, as Ghost Controllers, they were very clear.
It wasn't the body resisting the place, but rather the presence of Fierce Ghosts nearby that made the Fierce Ghosts inside their bodies restless.
A large number of Ghost Infants gathered together, and the combined supernatural influence was enough to Suppress most Ghost Controllers, suppressing the Fierce Ghosts within their bodies.
Not to mention that there was a real Fierce Ghost in this location.
Just then, heavy footsteps sounded from the stairs above and the stairs on nearby Floors.
Simultaneously, the Elevator on this Floor eerily lit up, and the light display indicated that an Elevator was about to stop on this Floor.
It seemed like something was surrounding them from all directions.
"You all feel it too, right? Professor Wang, step back a bit."
A Ghost Controller pulled Wang Xiaoming back, making him stand in the middle of the group.
The next moment.
A child, a naked child whose entire body was dark blue-green, suddenly appeared.
It stood stiffly right there at the corner of the staircase, tilting its head while staring at everyone with a pair of pitch-black, hollow eyes.
It seemed that the words spoken by that person had triggered a Killing Rule, and the child suddenly reached out and grabbed him.
The Ghost Infant's previously tilted head became eerily upright at this moment.
This was the appearance of a Ghost Infant, and judging by its look and the presence of a Killing Rule, it should be a Second Stage Ghost Infant.
The moment that person was grabbed by that Ghost Hand, his body lost the ability to resist, and his neck was directly twisted off by that seemingly small Ghost Hand.
Si Ye frowned slightly and took out the Pickpocket Card in his hand.
As someone who controlled a Card Maker, he only thought about using the Pickpocket Card, and his body instinctively threw the Card out.
"Fighting and killing—what kind of etiquette is that? How about we talk things over slowly?"
As Si Ye threw the Card, he couldn't help but say.
The Pickpocket Card shot towards the Ghost Infant at an extremely fast speed and quickly hit its target.
However, it was a pity that Pickpocket had absolutely no effect on the Second Stage Ghost Infant before him.
"It seems you don't know what's good for you."
Si Ye let out a slightly disappointed sound, and in his heart, he confirmed the function of Pickpocket.
Pickpocket only works on true Fierce Ghosts. The Ghost Infants in the first three Stages are merely a combination of Ghost Slave and Clone to the Starving Ghost; they are not the true Fierce Ghost.
Therefore, Pickpocket failed to exert its intended effect when facing the Ghost Infant.
But now was not the time for such things. Si Ye's utterance had very likely already violated the Second Stage Ghost Infant's Killing Rule.
Several Second Stage Ghost Infants rushed towards him, preparing to attack.
Fortunately, the moment he saw Pickpocket fail, Si Ye had already taken out a Flash Card, ready.
"A few little ghost dolls think they can hurt me? Truly laughable!"
Si Ye snorted lightly and used the Flash Card; in that instant, his speed increased to an extremely high level.
While the others still looked somewhat bewildered, Si Ye continuously dodged the attacking Ghost Infants around him.
"Dozing off at a time like this is not a good thing, don't you agree?"
Si Ye dodged the attack, moved into the middle of the crowd, and said with a light smile.
Perhaps due to the Passionate Talent, Si Ye always felt his emotions rising along with the battle.
Even without using a Card, there was a subtle change in the tone of his speech.
"You guy, but never mind that. The Ghost Infants are already surrounding us. Even if we can avoid triggering the Second Stage Ghost Infant's Killing Rule."
Zhang Han looked at Si Ye with a Strange expression. "If we wait for the Ghost Infants to come upstairs, we will still trigger the Killing Rules of the other two Stages of Ghost Infants."
Despite the discussion, everyone at this moment still took action one after another, intending to eliminate the Second Stage Ghost Infants that had entered this Floor, or at the very least, Suppress them.
"A sensible person, and besides, I didn't trigger the Second Stage Ghost Infant's Killing Rule," Si Ye laughed.
"It's very wrong around here. Let's figure out how to survive first."
Listening to the footsteps coming from the Corridor above, it seemed a group of people were walking down the stairs, and at the same time, footsteps were coming up from the Floors below.
The sound was heavy, completely lacking the lightness and variation of normal people, possessing only a mechanical Stiff quality.
Everyone present had dealt with Supernatural Incidents before.
Hearing such footsteps, they were already very clearly aware of what was happening around them.
"Not just wrong, we are practically surrounded," Sun Yi became somewhat panicked.
"We can't go forward, nor can we go back. What do we do now? Isn't this a dead end? Are these things trying to force us to jump off these dozen or so Floors?"
"Let's repel the Ghost Infants first and find a way to escape. We can't waste time with them," Wang Xiaoming said at this moment.
"If we can't go up or down, let's find a room to hold our ground first."
As Wang Xiaoming spoke, everyone entered a combat state.
Excluding Yang Jian who had left, and the two Ghost Controllers who had died, there were six Ghost Controllers remaining present.
Sun Yi was responsible for protecting Wang Xiaoming's safety.
Si Ye and Zhang Han were responsible for clearing the path ahead to continue upstairs, while the other two, along with Zhao Kaiming, were responsible for covering the rear.
"Covering the rear?"
Si Ye glanced thoughtfully at Zhao Kaiming; he only chose to lead the charge after hearing Zhao Kaiming volunteer to cover the rear.
Because in his view, staying with Zhao Kaiming in the current situation was quite dangerous.
The Ghost Controllers in the Original Work were only one person fewer than the current group.
But in the end, only three people—Zhang Han, Sun Yi, and Zhao Kaiming—survived until Yang Jian arrived to provide support.
Wang Xiaoming's expression was uncertain, but he remained calm, directing everyone from the center of the group, serving to stabilize morale.
"Don't panic. A frontal confrontation was bound to happen sooner or later."
"As long as you survive this wave of attacks, the situation will reverse, and everything will change. If you can't hold on, everyone should prepare to die here together."
Just then, a new round of Ghost Infant attacks arrived.
In addition to the Second Stage Ghost Infants that entered this Floor early due to triggering the Killing Rule, the First Stage Ghost Infants and the Third Stage Ghost Infant also entered this Floor at this time.
Seeing this, Si Ye drew the remaining Kill and Invincible Cards, and then condensed two new Cards: Kill and Flash.
