Now that he was number one on the leaderboard, according to what his friend said, there would definitely be people coming to snatch the Deadly Spectre Puzzle from him. 

The value of the Deadly Spectre Puzzle was really high. Moreover, everyone could see that he was number one on the leaderboard. Actually, he was not very worried about this, after all, his organs were very good. 

[Your eyes think that what you said is right.] 

Maron saw the hint in his eyes and smiled. 

Indeed, it was very good. 

Maron stretched himself and was ready to get up. The sky had returned to its original color and it happened to be the morning. 

He slept very comfortably this time and at least his legs had recovered. 

At this time, Mary was still in a deep sleep and showed no signs of waking up. 

Maron glanced at her and did not continue to care about her. 

He had seen this girl in the elevator before. She was not like those people on the streets. Instead, she was very simple and dressed in a very conservative style and now, her father was also dead. 

He had stepped on him to death… 

Maron did not feel any burden about this. After all, her father had become a ghost and to be precise, he was just carrying out a mission. 

As for this girl, Maron didn’t really want to bother with her, but since she was already sticking to him, he had no choice but to bother with her. 

“Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.” Maron shook his head. Then, he got up from the bed and prepared to wash up and go outside to take a look. 

A few minutes later, Maron changed into a set of clean clothes. 

The main thing was that yesterday’s clothes were covered in blood and mud and could no longer be worn. 

Just as Maron was about to walk out of the room, he was stopped by someone. 

“Where are you going?” Mary had already woken up. She looked at Maron and asked seriously. 

“I’m going outside.” Maron looked at Mary and said and after saying that, he was ready to leave. 

Mary looked anxious. She lifted the quilt and followed him. 

“Wait for me. I’ll go too!” She was afraid that if Maron went out, he would not come back. After all, this was not the original world anymore. 

Maron stopped and looked at Mary. “I’m just going out to take a look. I’ll be back soon.” 

‘Would this work?’ 

Mary, of course, refused. She insisted, “I’ll go with you.” 

Maron thought about it and felt a little helpless. He smiled and said, “How are you going to go out naked like this?” 

As he said that, Maron glanced at Mary from head to toe. 

Mary stood where she was and used her hand to cover herself. 

“Alright, there are clothes in the closet. Find some suitable pieces and put them on. I’ll wait for you outside.” Maron took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one. 

Mary nodded blankly and rushed into the room as if she was running away. 

In the time it took for one cigarette to finish, Mary had already changed her clothes. 

She was wearing a black hoodie and a pair of black trousers. It was not very big, and it fit her. 

Mary felt a little embarrassed when she was looked at by Maron. 

“It fits you well. Let’s go. After we go out, follow my instructions. I don’t know what will happen outside,” Maron said. 

“O… Okay.” Mary replied. 

Maron put out his cigarette and got up to walk to the door. Mary followed behind him. 

After they went out, they saw that there were bloodstains everywhere, and there was a smell of corpses. 

The smell of blood mixed with the smell of corpses was really unpleasant. 

Maron frowned, and Mary vomited on the spot. 

“Why don’t you go back?” Maron turned around and said to Mary. 

After Mary vomited, she stood up and said to Maron, “I… I’m fine.” 

“Okay, if you’re fine, you can continue to follow me.” Maron shook his head and smiled. 

Even he couldn’t stand this kind of question, let alone Mary. 

[Your nose can’t stand this smell. It has awakened its Filtering ability.] 

The notification in his eyes lit up, and Maron suddenly felt that the air was much fresher. 

In a few seconds, the smell of dead bodies was completely gone. 

Maron walked slowly, his eyes sweeping around. 

Overnight, the walls here were stained with blood for some reason. 

He remembered that there were fifty families living in this building, but now it seemed that they were all dead. 

Only two people survived, him and Mary. 

Maron walked to the elevator and pressed the down button. 

Soon, the elevator arrived. 

Ding Dong! 

The elevator door opened. 

Maron clearly saw two corpses in the elevator. They seemed to have rotted. Maybe they had been eaten by ghosts. 

They had been influenced by ghosts to become like this. 

In fact, this was the worst kind. They couldn’t even be ghosts and died directly. 

He remembered what Mary had said, her father had been killed by a ghost, and he had become a malicious ghost. 

Maron walked into the elevator as if he hadn’t seen the two corpses on the ground. 

Mary hesitated, but soon followed him. 

She wasn’t as calm as Maron. The corpses on the ground were too horrible for her. 

She closed her eyes, grabbed Maron’s sleeves with both hands, and pressed them against him. 

Soon, the elevator reached the ground floor. 

The situation downstairs was not so bad. There was only a little blood splattered everywhere and the air was much better. 

After leaving the building, Maron went directly to the street. 

The street was very quiet. Except for the bus that was still running, there was almost no one. 

Maron walked to the platform and waited. 

A few minutes later, a bus came to the platform. 

It stopped in front of Maron, and the door opened automatically. 

Maron looked back at Mary, then got on the bus and put in four coins. 

When he got on the bus, the door closed, and the bus started to run. 

The driver only glanced at the two of them, and drove the bus as if nothing had happened. 

Maron found a seat and sat down. Mary sat beside him and did not dare leave. 

Everything outside was empty and looked very strange. 

Maron looked at the side of the street. The shops that were supposed to be open for business had also locked their doors tightly. 

When Maron looked at a tall building, the notification in his eyes lit up. 

[Your eyes are very uneasy. It has received the gaze of a disaster-level malicious ghost.] 

Immediately after that, Maron’s eyes felt a sharp pain. 

He quickly retracted his gaze and did not dare to look at the tall building again. 

Immediately after, his phone rang. 

Maron rubbed his eyes and took out his phone from his pocket to look at it. 

[Mission activated.] 

[The gaze of a disaster-level malicious ghost.] 

[Mission description: When you look at the tall building, you will receive the gaze of a malicious ghost from a different region. The malicious ghost will pick a time to hunt you down regardless of the what is happening. You need to observe the appearance of the malicious ghost and investigate its origins.] 

[Mission requirement: None] 

[Mission reward: Ten years of lifespan.] 

[Mission failure: Deduction of all current lifespans.] 

After reading the mission, Maron fell into deep thought. 

Ten years of lifespan was a pretty good reward, but this was the gaze of a disaster-level malicious ghost. It was not easy to deal with, and it was hunting him down indiscriminately. 

It could appear at any time. 

“What’s wrong?” Mary asked with concern when she saw the changing expression on Maron’s face.
