Chapter 11: The Specter Zone

Chapter 11: The Specter Zone

Wang Ziteng's face showed a bunch of mixed emotions, and the lack of signal on his phone seemed to confirm something for him. He yelled, "Everybody, shut up!"

With him being so important, his yell made everyone stop talking right away. Suddenly, all eyes were on him.

A small light from his phone illuminated Wang Ziteng's face, while shadows covered most of his look. His strange face looked kind of spooky. Swallowing hard, he tried to look cool, saying, "Everyone, be quiet. I'm about to say something extremely important! It could be a matter of life and death!"

Those words landed heavily, hitting everyone's heart like a hammer.

Li Feifei, standing next to Wang Ziteng, jumped and said, "Mr. Wang, what are you talking about? What do you mean by life and death? You're freaking me out..."

"Shut up!" Wang Ziteng yelled at her, making Li Feifei look like she'd seen a Specter. He took a deep breath, his voice a little shaky. "If I'm right, we might be in the Specter Zone."

"Mr. Wang...Wang Ziteng, what's the Specter Zone?"

"Stop asking! We don't have time for questions. Just do whatever I say. Got it?!"

Wang Ziteng's yell filled the room, making everyone quiet again.

"Because of my money and connections, I know stuff most people don't. There are secrets about this world you wouldn't believe. In simple terms, there are entities called Specters in this world, and the so-called Specter Zone is their home. You can think of the Specter Zone as a different dimensionit's the Specters' turf! What we have to do now is escape from this creepy Specter Zone, or we'll all be done for by the Specters!"

Everyone looked really shocked by his words.

*'Specters?!'*

They all thought Wang Ziteng was just messing around, but the scared look on his face told them otherwise.

Following Wang Ziteng's orders, everyone began to look around.

After a while, three minutes passed without anyone finding anything, and nothing bad happened either.

This made the staff grow antsy and question Wang Ziteng's words even more.

Some folks even started whispering that it might be something like changes in the magnetic field or some weird science stuff causing the dim light, no phone signal, and power going out.

As for the two missing coworkers, they might have accidentally been shocked when the power came back on.

"Maybe we should go out and check. I gotta use the bathroom."

"Yeah, where on earth are these Specters?"

The whispers reached Wang Ziteng's ears, stressing him out even more. He cursed under his breath but knew he had to keep everyone calm.

He was just a normal guy too. His psychic cousin once said the best way to figure out a Specter's killing moves was to let lives be lost. That was why he'd let everyone in on the secret---to let them know the truth and keep them close. This way, he could better test out the Specter's killing moves and make sure he made it out alive.

"Everyone, stay calm. Like I said, don't move around. If anyone needs to use the bathroom, just---"

Before Wang Ziteng could finish, a calm voice cut him off.

"The Specter is here."

The voice seemed to hold some sort of power, or maybe the news it delivered was just that shocking. The room fell silent right away."
