“This isn't some kind of gas leak, is it?” Looking at the black, unknown gas drifting down from the air, Chu Heng’s expression changed slightly. He immediately covered his mouth and nose with his right hand while holding his breath.
At almost the same moment, the surrounding environment suddenly darkened, becoming pitch black.
The Black Fog churned, enveloping the entire alley. The light inside the alley seemed to be swallowed up, forming a stark contrast with the brightness outside.
What was even more Eerie was this:
On the street, a pedestrian happened to pass by and glanced into the small alley, but his face showed no sign of surprise.
It was as if, in his eyes, this alley was perfectly normal, with nothing unusual about it. It was as if people outside the alley could not see the churning Black Fog inside at all...
“Damn it, I’ve been so unlucky lately. Running into something this weird just trying to get home!” Chu Heng cursed inwardly, tossing aside the Jianbing Guozi he was carrying in his left hand, and navigated forward in the dark based on his memory.
Tap, tap, tap!
In the darkness, only the sound of Chu Heng’s footsteps echoed.
This Black Fog was strange; it even isolated the sounds of car horns and conversations from the road outside, as if it had become disconnected from the outside world.
However, Chu Heng, whose spirit was already somewhat flagging due to recent overtime, did not notice this. He continued moving forward, praying internally that this Eerie Mist was not poisonous.
What Chu Heng did not know was that a vague, illusory Figure had silently appeared behind him, standing there quietly.
The strange thing was that the Figure made no movement, yet the distance between him and Chu Heng did not increase as Chu Heng advanced; it remained constant at about two meters.
“I waited for a while, but all that came in were old men or cats and dogs. I was already planning to give up and find some young person to Invasion myself, but unexpectedly, someone delivered themselves right to me.”
Su Mu Bai watched Chu Heng moving forward blindly. The layer of mist covering his face had dissipated, revealing faintly illusory features. At this moment, a trace of coldness showed in his Eyes.
“The waters in Dachang City are deep; I don't need to rush in recklessly. The best way is to use a fake identity to hide myself. The identity of a Ghost Controller is quite good!” Su Mu Bai thought.
“With the ability of 'Invasion' in my hands, impersonating a Ghost Controller is too easy. I just need to find someone to invade.”
Su Mu Bai had been in Dachang City for a while. During this time, he had been hiding in this small alley, waiting for suitable prey to arrive.
He did not immediately search for Yang Jian upon arriving in Dachang City because he did not know how far the plot had progressed.
What if this was the middle or late stage of the plot, and Yang Jian already had a long spear in his left hand and a Grandfather Clock in his right? Wouldn't I just be offering myself up as food if I went?
Of course, that was just a metaphor!
Su Mu Bai was certain that the plot was currently in the early stages! Because the Ghost Controller named Sun Rui in Da Han City was still in good Condition previously.
Furthermore, the other party had not become an Anomaly; he was still controlling two ghosts. Therefore, Sun Rui could not be in the state after experiencing the Ghost Post Office.

Su Mu Bai took a step forward. The illusory Figure instantly exploded, transforming into a mass of Ink-black Mist, spreading towards Chu Heng ahead.
The Black Fog surged, emitting a Chilling Aura. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped by several degrees.
“Am I getting sick? Why does it feel colder and colder around me? Could this Black Fog really be poisonous?” Chu Heng shivered, quickening his pace.
But the next moment.
Chu Heng’s body suddenly stopped, ceasing his advance, standing perfectly still on the spot.
The mass of Black Fog transformed from Su Mu Bai had enveloped Chu Heng’s body. Unlike the other Mist in the Ghost Domain, the Mist formed by Su Mu Bai was denser and even darker, as if it were the Source of all darkness!
“What’s happening?” Chu Heng’s face turned pale, his Eyes filled with Puzzlement and Fear.
At this moment, he felt his body stiffen and become uncontrollable, as if he had been thrown into a freezer to freeze to death, standing rigidly upright.
This scene surpassed Chu Heng’s understanding. He was like a completely paralyzed patient, possessing only thought and consciousness but unable to control his body to make any movement.
“This Eerie Black Fog, is it really poisonous? Can it cause paralysis?!”
Up to this point, Chu Heng still believed this was a poisonous Black Fog and never considered the Supernatural aspect.
As a highly educated man, Chu Heng was a staunch atheist; he only believed in science. All so-called ghosts and monsters were absolute feudal superstition in his view.
“Am I going to die?” For some reason, this thought suddenly surfaced in Chu Heng’s mind.
“I don’t want to die; I have to find a way to escape this predicament!”
Although everything before him was pitch black and his body had lost control, Chu Heng did not give up. He quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind.
“Huh? What is this situation?”
The Puzzlement in Chu Heng’s Eyes deepened. Although he had lost control of his body, his senses remained. He felt a Chilling Aura invade his body.
As this Chilling Aura invaded, every hair on Chu Heng’s body stood on end, and an unprecedented drowsiness washed over his mind.
“No... I can’t sleep!” Chu Heng’s expression was filled with Fear. His intuition told him that if he fell asleep this time, he might never wake up again.
“Damn it!”
Chu Heng cursed inwardly. He wanted to bite his tongue to stay alert, but he couldn't. Forget biting his tongue, he couldn't even move a finger right now.
Time passes second by second.
The mass of Black Fog enveloping Chu Heng had completely surged into his body, and Chu Heng’s gaze became dull and hazy.
Clearly, he had reached his limit.
“It’s useless, stop struggling. You must be very tired now, right? Very sleepy, right? Then sleep... just sleep...”
Suddenly, a captivating voice surfaced in Chu Heng’s heart.
This voice seemed to carry an inexplicable magic, like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Chu Heng’s mind actually relaxed, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
Chu Heng’s Figure, standing in the center of the Black Fog, slowly closed his Eyes, as if “falling asleep” along with Chu Heng’s consciousness.
At almost the exact moment Chu Heng completely lost consciousness, the corner of his mouth curved slightly upward, revealing a strange smile.
“Swish!”
After a while, the Eyes that “Chu Heng” had closed suddenly snapped open. But unlike before, his gaze was now extremely cold, devoid of any warmth!
