But Wen Xishu is different; Wen Xishu can see that Ah Fei's parents have always been protecting Ah Fei.
He vaguely understood why Chen Ming insisted on seeing his wife's ghost.
Perhaps like himself, Chen Ming could feel his wife's protection, which heightened his desire to communicate with her.
In this world, there really are no feelings that cannot be forgotten. But what is feared... is entanglement.
Even Albert, who loves his wife so much, would eventually let go of his feelings after many years.
But what if Albert could always see his wife's ghost?
"Ghosts at this stage can only perform simple actions, lack much intelligence, and many people cannot perceive them..."
"Yet they seem to possess some powers of low-level evolution, even some abilities of ghosts found in traditional ghost stories."
"Ah Fei's parents know this city is dangerous, and even as ghosts, they hope their child can leave."
"At this time, it should be the very early stages when many people started believing in the existence of ghosts, also the early stage of Chen Ming's schemes."
"The red-dressed female ghost probably hasn't appeared yet."
"This turns out to be such a perfect timing!"
The advantage of perfect navigation is that Wen Xishu knows everyone's location.
Coupled with Ah Fei's ability, Wen Xishu can grasp various information more precisely.
He didn't hesitate.
If he were to kill Chen Ming now, it would all end.
...
...
Ghost City, hospital.
More and more people left this city.
Yet many stayed.
The sprouting ghosts scared away many, but also made monsters from other cities reluctant to approach the places full of ghost qi.
The hospital has many people.
Wen Xishu remembers that Chen Ming mentioned he would also be in the hospital, using his role as the attending physician to tell everyone that ghosts exist.
Through Ah Fei's ability, Wen Xishu figured out the hospital layout early.
On the third floor's surgery area of the outpatient building, Wen Xishu quickly saw Chen Ming's photo ID on the duty roster.
This doctor, outwardly calm but internally mad, no one could imagine he actually created a Ghost City.
But just as Wen Xishu prepared to approach...
Suddenly, his hairs stood on end.
An overwhelmingly powerful and chilling aura approached.
After experiencing the full force of Sagittarius and the old principal, Wen Xishu thought he could be immune to such aura intimidation.
But at this moment, he still felt... as if he were in the realm of some beast.
Just when Wen Xishu thought maybe there was some "fierce ghost" hidden in the hospital, he saw a man with slicked-back blond hair wearing golden armor appearing in the corridor.
Not a ghost!
No ghost possesses such a commanding aura, nor does any ghost have such an oppressive presence.
Even the Red House can't compare.
Wen Xishu immediately thought of who the target at the end was. Simultaneously, several powerful auras appeared outside the hospital.
Leo, Leon.
The name emerged in Wen Xishu's mind; when looking at Leo, he felt a strong sense of déjà vu.
Damn it, this blazing, flame-like slicked-back blond hair, this contemptuous gaze, and crimson pupils.
Too similar.
Wen Xishu indeed felt majesty, but the intense déjà vu of the anime character Gilgamesh made Wen Xishu feel a desire to mock.
Wen Xishu didn't guess wrong, the person was indeed Leo, Leon.
Not just Leo, but several of Leo's bodyguards too.
Every one of them possesses strength beyond the ordinary Red House, considered anomalies among the dominator class.
At this very moment, many people in the hospital inexplicably collapsed to the ground in fear due to the oppressive presence.
Wen Xishu did not expect to meet the entity he would confront in the future ahead of time.
This individual, known among all constellations as the strongest in combat strength.
The hospital corridor isn't a good place for the two to meet.
Leon glanced at Wen Xishu, his red pupils showing some curiosity.
History was changed at this moment.
No matter how strong Wen Xishu's mental fortitude was, he did not expect such a coincidence.
"Damn it, I've been set up!"
How could it be possible to go out and just happen to run into Leo?
Wen Xishu truly didn't believe this possibility would appear at the perfect timing for the cut-in.
But he remembered, the Scorpion Knife's ability this time, called Destiny Branch.
Everyone will meet the ghost that can entangle with them.
Wen Xishu thought he had already encountered one.
Little did he know, his corresponding character was not those ghosts, nor the foster parents already burned away in the fire.
Destiny Branch, a collision of fate.
In this round, he faced-off against Leo.
Leon also analyzed Wen Xishu.
Even though Wen Xishu was not precious, weak as he was, in Leo's eyes, he should not evoke any curiosity, any desire.
One wouldn't care about the posture of the ant underfoot when seeing you.
But nonetheless, the extremely powerful Lion can sense some familiar aura.
"Is it the Scorpion's knife?"
As the words fell, Wen Xishu hadn't reacted yet, but the items in the inventory were already forcibly taken out.
The Scorpion Knife, emitting the aura of causality, surprised Leon.
"How do you have such an item on you?"
It was Wen Xishu's first time experiencing such peril.
Since Scorpio would use special plays to deal with Leo in the future, it shows their relationship is not good.
At this moment, the Scorpion Knife was easily acquired by Leo...
This really can't be explained.
But afterward, Leo lightly tossed the knife away, beckoned with his hand...
Wen Xishu's chaotic Libra, competitive horn, and Compass appeared in Leo's hands.
"My brothers seem to really like you."
Leo glanced at Wen Xishu, then at Chen Ming's clinic.
Wen Xishu sweated for the first time, cold sweat. Does the opponent have some power to control others' equipment?
Can items in the inventory be forcibly taken?
Several of Wen Xishu's trump cards were so easily taken by Leo.
The biggest trump card wasn't taken though. He even thought if using the Star Ring to touch Leon now...
Could Sagittarius kill Leon? Would he dare take the offer?
No... definitely not!
Must think of a way to survive, don't use Sagittarius, because using it means death.
Though Sagittarius has improved, Wen Xishu still trusts his first instinct—
Sagittarius can't kill Leo.
Just as Wen Xishu was pondering if his current Profound Meaning could kill Leo, a more desperate situation arose.
The Starlight Die was already detached from the ring.
"You're quite adept at using external objects; that's precisely what I counteract."
Leon looked at the die with its Sagittarius design, a bit surprised.
Wen Xishu now truly felt as if he were silenced, unable to wield any means.
Heart of Fusion? No... this item must not be used or exposed.
But if allowed to continue like this under Leo's scrutiny, it's likely all his equipment could be revealed.
He must immediately divert Leo's attention.
"You're Leon, right? Can you return my things to me? They're all my trophies."
Leon found it amusing, trophies?
He smiled playfully:
"Oh, calling my name directly, you're quite bold, who are you?"
An immense golden energy suddenly gathered, forming golden lines, which constructed a large golden chair.
Leo seated himself on the golden chair, his posture arrogant and reckless, like an emperor examining everything.
Wen Xishu knew those who look like this are often truly arrogant, good at showing off.
But they definitely have corresponding strength.
Facing Leo, Wen Xishu for a moment didn't know how to respond.
His mind was now filled with one thought.
If an unbeatable scenario hits directly, then confronting it head-on is a dead end.
In times like these, it's crucial to stay calm because such scenarios must have ways to win without fighting.
