Chapter 161
After their punishment, Ace and King of Spades were shaking uncontrollably. Still, they maintained their posture, kneeling with their heads almost touching the ground.
They didn't dare to look at Fang Xiu.
The pain was unbearable, and they respected his power immensely.
Just a single hair from him could cause such immense pain, and they couldn't imagine how powerful he would be if he exerted his full strength.
At that moment, Fang Xiu's phone rang.
It was Su Kexin.
Fang Xiu waved his hand, signaling the two Spades to leave. They were overjoyed, thanked him profusely, and left without looking back.
"Fang Xiu, please report to the Investigation Bureau at 9 am tomorrow. Our target this time is Green Mountain Mental Hospital," Su Kexin said.
"Okay," Fang Xiu responded, and then the call ended.
Su Kexin pouted in dissatisfaction. _'He's always like this, cold as ice. Is it that hard to say something extra to me?'_
In the Investigation Bureau, Ma Xingbang, who had been feeling a sense of looming danger, suddenly relaxed._ _
_'The killing intent is gone? Has the person watching me left?'_The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))
He had plagiarized a special ability to sense killing intent, which was incredibly useful, especially when he was the target. This ability had saved his life before, and he always reserved a spot for it among his plagiarized skills.
He had an argument with Fang Xiu the other day. After Fang Xiu left, he sensed killing intent at that time.
Initially, he thought Fang Xiu was behind it, but then he reasoned it couldn't be Fang Xiu since it would be too obvious. They had just had a confrontation in front of others. If an assassination attempt followed immediately it would point directly to him.
Ma Xingbang was puzzled. It was his first time in Greenvine City, and aside from Fang Xiu, he had no enemies there.
To ease the tension, Yang Ming laughed and said, "Xiu, you can foresee the future, so of course we'll follow your lead. Let's go."
Fang Xiu nodded and led the way to Green Mountain Mental Hospital, with the others following.
Ma Xingbang, at the back of the group, glanced at Fang Xiu's back and then around him._ 'I don't sense any killing intent. But I'm fully prepared, and THAT THING will be mine.'_
Soon, they all entered Green Mountain Mental Hospital. As they stepped in, they felt dizzy, and the scenery around them changed.
When they regained their senses, they were already inside the dark and eerie corridors of the hospital.
Ma Xingbang, experienced with such situations, said, "The Specter Zone here is strong enough to warp space, which will make exploration much more difficult."
Fang Xiu looked around silently. The scene before him, one he had dreamt of countless times, began to stir his long-dormant emotions.
The place had undergone some unknown changes since his last visit. It was now darker, with an ominous atmosphere.
Just standing there, Fang Xiu could feel his soul trembling, as if it was on the verge of losing control.
Yang Ming, alarmed, said, "The concentration of Specter energy here is too high. We've just entered, and I already feel like my soul is being invaded. Xiu, did you really survive this terrifying place before?"
Fang Xiu shook his head, "The concentration of Specter energy wasn't this high last time. The seal here must be weakening, allowing more Specters to emerge, which increases the concentration."
Yang Ming swallowed hard, "According to Yang Kunpeng, he saw three wandering Specters last time. Does that mean we have to face at least three Specters now?"
"Not just three," Bai Qi, who had been silent, suddenly said gravely, "The Specter energy is too intense. Just three Specters couldn't release so much energy. Over time, the seal would weaken further, and the Specters that have already emerged might attack the seals of other rooms."
As soon as Bai Qi finished, he noticed Yang Ming staring at him. His face darkened, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Are you really Bai Qi? Are you a disguised Specter, or controlled by one like last time? The real Bai Qi wouldn't talk this much. Something's wrong with you."
Bai Qi, infuriated, almost lost his temper. "So now you're bringing up last time!?"
Just then, the sound of a bouncing ball came from the depths of the corridor."
