The broom itself was not made of very sturdy wood, and it snapped under Wan Hao's powerful strike!
If it were a normal person, Wan Hao wouldn't dare strike the head with such force, but clearly, this man in black was not normal!
In the movies Wan Hao had watched, the best way to deal with things like this was a headshot!
The man in black fell to the ground with a heavy thud and became still. Seeing this, Wan Hao breathed a sigh of relief and put the protective talisman he was clutching in his other hand back into his pocket.
He wasn't sure if hitting the head would work; that was from foreign movies, and those things liked to chew, but judging by the corpses he had seen earlier, this didn't look much like zombies.
‘May Uncle Ying bless me!’
Wan Hao silently recited this in his heart and prepared to call everyone to leave, but unexpectedly, these people were completely unmoved; instead, they cried even louder!
“No! Don't hit him!”
“It’s over! Someone else is going to die...”
“I hope I’m not the one who dies this time.”
Wan Hao was a bit confused as to why these people were reacting this way, but he didn't dwell on it, walking around the fallen man in black toward the young girl who was calling him.
“Yingying, come with me quickly!”
Wan Hao didn't explain anything because he didn't understand what was happening himself. The strong biceps gave Wan Hao powerful Strength, and he directly pulled Xu Yingying up, embracing her.
The reason he picked up Xu Yingying was that he noticed her legs were shaking like sieves; based on his experience, she was too terrified to walk!
This was better than some others, as Wan Hao noticed one person had already lost control of their bowels.
Ignoring the others, he picked up Xu Yingying and prepared to leave the Arcade.
The others, seeing Wan Hao about to leave, struggled to stand up and follow, but they were shaking too much to stand steady!
The one who had soiled himself didn't even get up. Wan Hao ignored the rest and simply turned to leave.
As he turned, Wan Hao’s pupils constricted!
The man in black lying on the Ground had gotten back up!
At this moment, Wan Hao, facing him, saw the person's face—no, he had no face!
He couldn't see his features; it was as if a thick layer of Black Mist shrouded his face. This wasn't a man in black at all!
This was clearly a Humanoid Black Mist!
A ghost! This is definitely a ghost!
Wan Hao, who didn't believe in ghosts or gods, now did!
The Black Mist seemed fine, climbing up. As it stood straight, it let out a Shiver!
An extremely cold aura rushed toward Wan Hao—cold, Deathly silence, and a bone-chilling cold enveloped his entire body.
Unable to move!
Wan Hao felt like he was holding a hard, cold boulder, but wait, was that coldness coming from his hands?
Wan Hao looked down and saw that Xu Yingying in his arms had skin that had turned purple and black without him realizing it. Large Corpse Spots covered her skin, and her expression was one of extreme terror, with glistening tears hanging in the corners of her eyes.
Dead!
When?
Wan Hao’s heart momentarily forgot how to beat. Xu Yingying’s terrified gaze seemed to blame Wan Hao, making him feel like he had done something wrong.
A strong sense of suffocation washed over him, making Wan Hao feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar!
He didn't even notice the Humanoid Black Mist approaching, standing frozen in place, knowing the girl in his arms was dead.
“Crack, crack-crack!”
A sound of dislocated bones came from behind the Humanoid Black Mist. Those who were still trying to get up were instantly scared flat onto the Ground, crying out again.
The crying from behind startled Wan Hao back to his senses. As he gasped for air in the foul-smelling atmosphere, his mind had gone blank, and he had forgotten to breathe.
“Crack-crack, crack!”
The sound of bones shifting continued. Wan Hao suddenly looked up ahead.
That Black Mist Ghost was only two or three meters away, and behind it was another figure!
That was the person who had suddenly died on the arcade machine earlier!
Two ghosts!!!
Wan Hao wanted to run, but the excessive fear rooted him to the spot!
His heart began to beat violently, and his body started to tremble slightly—a sign of massive adrenaline secretion!
Glancing again at the ice-cold Xu Yingying in his arms, Wan Hao gritted his teeth. Since Yingying was already dead, he decided to abandon her body here; otherwise, being cornered by two ghosts in this corner meant no escape!
Just as he was about to act, Wan Hao saw the ghost in front of him move first!
It wasn't attacking him, but the Rotting Ghost was attacking the Black Mist Ghost!
The Rotting Ghost extended its dry, cracked hand to Touch the Black Mist Ghost. The moment it was touched, the Black Mist Ghost immediately fell to the Ground!
Wan Hao’s pupils contracted sharply!
He couldn't figure out what was happening; he just saw the Rotting Ghost Touch the Black Mist Ghost, and then the Black Mist Ghost fell down.
It looked exactly like staging an accident for insurance money!
Wan Hao, who often fought, naturally knew the importance of timing, and this was the best moment!
The two ghosts didn't seem to be allies. Although he didn't know why they were fighting each other, having one ghost gone was clearly a good opportunity!
He apologized silently to Xu Yingying in his arms, then suddenly threw her toward the Rotting Ghost!
Wan Hao had great Strength; the girl, weighing less than a hundred catties, was thrown two or three meters, knocking the Rotting Ghost down. The Rotting Ghost's already fragile head fell off due to the impact, rolling on the Ground like a ball!
Seeing both ghosts down, Wan Hao erupted with a speed he had never run before. With seven or eight long strides, he vanished from the corner, running straight out of the Arcade without looking back.
The few people left behind saw Wan Hao escape successfully and showed a yearning for life in their eyes, but their mental fortitude was nowhere near Wan Hao's, and they couldn't manage to climb up no matter how hard they tried.
They couldn't get up, but the ghosts did!
The Black Mist Ghost slowly rose as before. After standing straight, it Shivered, and immediately one of the remaining people lost their vitality.
Their complexion instantly turned ashen and Deathly silent, their bodies grew cold, and within seconds, their entire bodies were covered in Corpse Spots.
After the Black Mist Ghost got up, the headless Rotting Ghost was not to be outdone, rising with a sound of dislocating bones.
Neither ghost made a move at first, but after a few seconds, the Rotting Ghost once again reached out its hand toward the Black Mist Ghost.
The previous scene replayed: the Black Mist Ghost immediately fell upon being touched. This time, without Wan Hao throwing a body, the Rotting Ghost continued walking forward.
And ahead of it were those who couldn't move...
The adrenaline rush and the instinct for survival made Wan Hao incredibly fast. In less than half a minute, he bypassed the Arcade and ran outside, leaping down the elevator shaft in a few bounds.
When he reached the first floor, Wan Hao paused.
The downstairs area was already surrounded by police, and the Arcade staff were being detained by officers, giving statements.
Wan Hao was somewhat confused by this. Quick police response was understandable, but why hadn't anyone gone inside now that they were here?
Seeing someone coming down, many people were startled, but immediately several gun muzzles pointed at him.
“Stop! Do not approach!”
Having just escaped a Ghost Hand, now facing gun muzzles, Wan Hao’s feelings were indescribable.
At that moment, a harsh screech of tires rubbing the Ground sounded as a police car drove in.
The car door opened, and loud, explosive music blared out.
“Rushing waves~ flowing waves~”
As the music played, a person stepped out of the car!
This person was dressed like a God of Gamblers—suit, Leather Shoes, tie, and a wide suit jacket draped over his shoulders.
“Professionals are on site, non-essential personnel stand back!”
