Chapter 39

“Hmph, let’s ignore him for now. Now that we know that everything is man-made, let’s find him.” Locke said through gritted teeth.

“Man, where do we find him? We’ve searched all around, but we haven’t seen a single ghost, let alone a human.” Alan laughed sarcastically.

Even if you now knew that it was man-made, you couldn’t even find him.

He was still in a helpless state.

“I believe that as long as there is someone here, I will be able to sense it,” Locke said confidently.

Suddenly, someone called out again.

“Ah, it’s me!”

Locke and Alan turned their heads almost instantly.

They finally saw the thing that could turn a person into a corpse.

That wasn’t a person!

It was a malicious ghost!

The malicious ghost’s eyes were red, and the flesh on its face had rotted, revealing the white bones inside.

At first glance, this malicious ghost looked very much like the people that had turned into corpses.

The malicious ghost seemed to smile terrifyingly, as if to say that these people were its food.

Then, it disappeared into the darkness.

Locke’s head was already covered in sweat, and so was Alan.

The appearance of this malicious ghost had shattered their previous speculations.

When the malicious ghost appeared, the ghost aura here was several times denser.

It proved that it wasn’t a human at all, but a malicious ghost!

But would a malicious ghost smoke?!

It didn’t make sense!

“Do you think that corpse outside is also a malicious ghost?!” Locke suddenly looked at Alan and asked.

Alan muttered, “It’s very possible.”

“Then what should we do?!” Locke said.

The deadly ghost had already revealed its identity to them.

Facing such a powerful deadly ghost, they were helpless.

The moment it appeared; the ghostly aura became very strong.

It proved that this deadly ghost was at least a disaster-level one.

“Let’s go back to the place before. It seems that the deadly ghost didn’t make a move there,” Alan said.

“Alright, let’s go there immediately.” Without a second thought, Locke led his team and rushed to where they left off.

They had marked the entire way, so they knew where they had been and where they hadn’t been.

After a while, they returned to where they were, but there was no way out.

The tunnel was still blocked.

Tom had been here before.

But when he saw that there was no one here, he started looking again.

He couldn’t hear anything, nor could he hear anyone talking.

This made him suspect that the team leader and the others had been eaten by the malicious ghost.

“What level of malicious ghost is this? It can even block out sound?!” Tom sat in front of a rock, holding his head.

“Where did the team leader and the others go?”

“What should I do?”

He couldn’t think of any other way. He fell into an unknown fear.

His own Ghost Domain was useless in this big Ghost Domain.

Suddenly, two people appeared in front of him.

He heard footsteps and quickly looked up to see a person.

“You… Who are you?” Tom subconsciously stepped back, but was blocked by the rock behind him.

“It’s the person who’s come to take your life.”

The person who spoke could not be seen clearly. His face was very blurry, as if he had been hit with a mosaic filter.

“You, you, you!” Tom was extremely terrified.

The feeling that this person gave him was really too terrifying.

There was no human aura, nor was there the aura of a ghost.

It was as if he did not exist.

And this unknown thing was standing in front of him.

As he spoke, the person took out a chainsaw and pulled a few rings. The chainsaw rumbled.

“No, no.” Tom had already broken down mentally. He had already forgotten to resist.

Under his despair, the chainsaw had already reached his head.

A burst of blood appeared and splashed onto the person’s blurry face.

“Die,” the person said coldly.

Tom died in despair and fear.

That person was Maron.

His eyes told him that if he killed this person, he could obtain a Ghost Domain.

The temptation of a Ghost Domain was unbearable for Maron.

[You were discovered by the people who rushed here. They saw through you.]

Suddenly, the notification in Maron’s eyes lit up.

Maron snorted and disappeared into the darkness.

…

Locke and Alan heard the voice at the same time.

“That’s… Tom!” Locke was extremely familiar with this voice. When he heard it, he had already reacted quickly.

Alan was also shocked.

Tom was not dead yet?

“No, I have to save him.” Locke rushed out and ran toward the source of the voice.

“Let’s go and take a look too.” Martin looked at Mike.

Mike nodded and followed him. The members of Locke’s team also followed him.

When they rushed over, they only saw Tom’s body.

The head of the body was already rotten.

It was severely injured.

“Tom?!” Locke tried to call out.

But there was no response.

Locke was completely in despair. Tom, who had the Ghost Domain, was already dead.

It would be difficult for them to leave this Ghost Domain now.

“What should we do?” Martin looked at Mike and asked.

Mike shook his head. He didn’t know what to do.

The Ghost Domain they were in was too dangerous.

Martin looked at Tom’s body and realized that his death wasn’t caused by a ghost.

“Captain, Tom shouldn’t have been killed by a malicious ghost. Look, he didn’t even turn into a corpse.” Martin said.

Locke’s face was gloomy. It was true.

This wound should have been caused by a chainsaw.

It seemed that he had heard the sound of a chainsaw while he was there.

“In that case, there are people and ghosts here.”

At this moment, a voice came from the darkness, followed by a person walking out. It was Alan.

When Locke saw Alan, his eyes immediately widened. He said, “It was all you. You let Tom go. That’s why he died. If you didn’t say it, he wouldn’t have gone.”

“Is it my fault? It’s so dangerous here. How would I know if he’ll die?” Alan spread his hands and said with a smile.

“Alright, you guys go on your own. We’re not cooperating anymore!” Locke said fiercely and left with his team.

“Heh, it’s too late for you guys to cooperate now. If you don’t cooperate, none of you will be able to get out alive.” Alan said to Locke’s back.

However, Locke acted as if he did not hear him and disappeared into the darkness with his team members.

“There are people and ghosts here. What should we do?” Alan looked at Tom’s body.

He noticed that Tom’s eyes were wide open and his face was distorted.

He seemed to be extremely frightened.

However, what could make a Ghost Fighter so scared? Alan could not understand.

If it was a ghost, it was unlikely, and if it was a human, it was even more impossible.

Neither human nor ghost?

Alan instantly rejected this idea.

It was impossible for such a thing to exist in this world.

“Let’s go. It’s not safe here,” Alan said to the back and led his team back.
