"You can’t hold it yourself, and you’re blaming me?" The tall girl spoke disdainfully, "It’s just a crappy phone, not even an Apple one. This phone is probably only a thousand or two thousand bucks, right?"
"Is this about the price? You weren’t looking at where you were going and bumped into someone, breaking their phone. Shouldn’t you compensate them?" Someone beside her couldn’t stand it anymore and reproached the tall girl.
"What’s the fuss? Just replace the screen, how much can it cost for this kind of phone? Here’s a hundred bucks. Stop yakking." The tall girl said scornfully.
"How can you be like this?" The girl holding the phone said angrily.
"What did I do? You couldn’t hold it yourself, and you’re blaming me?" The tall girl sneered, ready to say more, but her voice suddenly stopped, and she vanished into thin air, leaving a few drops of fresh blood where she disappeared.
The girl holding the phone let out a scream, completely unable to comprehend what had happened. The few people watching around were also stunned. A whole living person just vanished in an instant.
"Dead." Cui Wenyan’s face was as cold as water.
"What the hell is going on?" Yan Qing couldn’t help but curse. He had just seen it too: the space twisted instantly, heavy resentment, a gaping mouth, teeth that glimmered coldly, and the moment the tall girl was chewed alive.
"I think I know what the ghost behind this is doing." Cui Wenyan’s expression was complex. "The so-called order... People who don’t obey laws die, regardless of severity, all must face punishment, and this punishment is death. Is this ghost trying to create an absolutely orderly city?"
"Damn!" Yan Qing cursed again, feeling angry inside. "Is this shit for real? Although there are indeed some people who are insufferable in real life, it’s not to the extent that a small mistake would get you killed."
Just as Yan Qing finished speaking, a car in front that had crossed a solid double line disappeared with the driver inside. No need to explain, that driver was dead too.
A girl stood in front of a garbage bin, glanced at the bins marked for dry and wet trash, holding a cup of milk tea in her hand, seemingly hesitating whether it was dry trash or wet trash. After pondering for a moment, she threw the cup into one of the bins.
Then, she disappeared into thin air.
"Damn!" This time, even Cui Wenyan couldn’t hold back from cursing. Is the outcome of wrong trash classification death too? Is the Ghost King controlling this city insane?
"How to break this situation? I feel that at this rate, everyone in this city will end up dead." Yan Qing wiped cold sweat off his face and asked Cui Wenyan.
Cui Wenyan was just about to speak when Yan Qing’s phone rang; he answered it and a voice came from the other end.
"Little Shishu, this city appears to have fallen. We can’t get out, nor is there any way to get in. All high-speed trains and airports are closed off. We discovered that people who violate laws or make mistakes are disappearing. People are still vanishing continuously." The call was from Ma Dong’s disciple.
"A Ghost King able to control a city must be involved, and not an ordinary Ghost King. You all shouldn’t act rashly, return to the assembly point and wait there. You’re no match for him. I hope the master can arrive quickly for support." Yan Qing said with some concern. Even if all the Ghost Hunters participating in the competition joined forces, they might not be a match for this Ghost King behind the scenes.
"Follow me." After hanging up the phone, Cui Wenyan rode a shared bike and headed in one direction.
"Wait for me." Yan Qing pocketed his phone and hurried to catch up. "Cui Wenyan, don’t be rash. I feel that the Ghost King behind this is no ordinary foe. We’re not his match. We should wait for the masters’ help."
