“President, that ghost has changed direction twice today. I think it must have discovered something.”
Late at night.
The middle-aged woman, along with a few others, stopped on a small hill and spoke to the woman beside her.
This woman… was none other than the owner of the red paper figure, President Yan.
Clearly, after hearing the middle-aged woman’s report, President Yan had also rushed out of the city overnight.
“Changed direction twice? That means what it’s looking for might have appeared but then disappeared or hid for some reason.”
President Yan speculated.
“I think that’s probably the case as well.”
The middle-aged woman replied.
President Yan asked, “Its power grows stronger at night, making it harder for you to track. You’ve been chasing it for days. Take a good rest now. Did you see its form?”
The middle-aged woman replied, “I saw it. It was a red garment, much like a traditional wedding dress from ancient times.”
“A wedding dress, huh? Then let’s refer to it as the Wedding Dress Ghost.”
President Yan said.
“Yes, President.”
After speaking, the middle-aged woman sent a drawing through the communicator.
……………………..
“Gu… Gu…”
In a graveyard, the a strange sound echoed continuously.
Suddenly.
A shrill cry pierced the air, and the sound stopped.
“Just a level 1 trash, daring to come out and scare people. Overestimating itself.”
A voice rang out.
Immediately after, two figures swiftly passed through the overgrown graveyard.
Their destination was none other than Xiao Feng Mountain.
Even within the defensive line, the number of ghosts was considerable. Ordinary people working outside the city only dared to take fixed routes back to the city and never strayed.
Those routes often had vehicles and Ghost Masters passing through, making them relatively safe.
To the two Ghost Masters planning to kill Lin Feng, these scattered ghosts were nothing.
Their pace was quite fast.
Old Guo walked silently.
The other Ghost Master, Qi Ping, occasionally grumbled, because to reach their destination quickly and avoid any accidents, they took a path overgrown with wild grass. The road was rough, and they occasionally encountered some ghosts.
Whenever they encountered ghosts, it was mostly Qi Ping who dealt with them.
………………..
The night sky was unobstructed, and without pollution, it was unusually bright.
Tonight’s moonlight was especially bright.
The stars were also incredibly brilliant.
After walking for several hours, they were finally near Xiao Feng Mountain.
By now, it was already around three or four in the morning, and the moon still hung in the eastern sky.
“Old Guo, that kid must still be asleep. Isn’t there an old poem that says something like ‘On a dark and windy night, at midnight when murders happen’? Except for the bright moon tonight, that poem fits the mood.”
Perhaps because they were finally close, Qi Ping, despite the fatigue on his face, was quite excited.
“Has He Hai sent any messages?”
Square-Faced Man asked.
Qi Ping checked the communicator, “No, no messages. That probably means everything is normal. That kid can’t possibly go without sleep at night. We’ve been on the move for days. Honestly, I could sleep standing up right now. Boss, should we rest for a bit?”
The square-faced man replied, “No need. Lin Feng’s ghost is at most level 3. He Hai and I are both level 4 Ghost Masters. You may be level 3, but your ghost domain is powerful. Even if Lin Feng’s ghost specializes in escaping, it won’t get away! Send a message to He Hai to check the situation, then we’ll strike directly.”
“Yes, Old Guo!”
Qi Ping took out the communicator and sent a message.
………………….
“Lin Feng?”
Square-Faced Man and Qi Ping didn’t notice.
While they were talking, a red paper airplane silently drifted through the night sky, overhearing their conversation.
“These guys are planning to harm Lin Feng!”
On the other side, President Yan’s gaze turned cold, and her aura began to chill.
“What’s wrong, President?”
The middle-aged woman and the other Ghost Masters, who were sleeping in the grass were startled awake.
“Do you remember the young boy I told you about? Not a psychic body, but at the age of 15 already commands a perilous level ghost. He has already killed a lot of perilous level ghosts as well. His ghost is definitely very outstanding. Well, right now there are 3 ghost masters targeting him, getting ready to kill him and take his ghost while his bond with it is still low.”
President yan stood up and spoke.
“These unscrupulous bastards!”
The middle aged woman grunted disdainfully.
“Let’s go to Xiao Feng Mountain, let’s see if they can get there before us. My paper figure will stop them first, otherwise… Well… Let them come… Hah.”
President Yan sneered.
The middle aged woman then spoke. “Seeing your paper figure, those 3 definitely won’t dare to do anything.”
President Yan shook her head. “Not necessarily. There are many desperate criminals. Lin Feng’s ghost must be of a very high grade. If they really manage to steal it, they will take it and flee north or south. Very troublesome. So, let’s hurry up. I will also notify Lin Feng.”
…………….
While President Yan and the middle-aged woman were talking seriously.
The paper airplane had silently drifted across the sky, heading towards Xiao Feng Mountain.
This paper airplane was searching for Lin Feng.
On the tree branch, Lin Feng was already awake.
He Hai’s communicator vibrated.
Lin Feng looked at it and saw it was a message from Qi Ping!
“He Hai, we’re almost there. How’s Lin Feng? Is he still there?”
Qi Ping asked.
“Have they arrived?”
Lin Feng looked down the mountain.
His physical condition was now five times that of an average person.
His eyesight was naturally very good as well.
However, since it was night, and given that the square-faced man and Qi Ping were still a bit far and cautious, Lin Feng could not see them yet.
After waiting for a dozen seconds, Lin Feng picked up He Hai’s communicator and replied, “Lin Feng is still there, sleeping in a pavilion down the mountain. You should first go to the previous mountain peak.”
“Got it! We’ll be there in at most half an hour.”
Soon, Qi Ping’s reply came back.
“Half an hour, huh?”
Lin Feng jumped down from the branch, preparing to take action.
At this moment.
Suddenly, Tongtong moved.
She blocked Lin Feng’s path.
Then, Lin Feng saw an object that had detected him due to his movement… quickly flying towards him.
“A bird?”
As it flew closer, Lin Feng saw it was a paper airplane.
As it approached, it suddenly transformed, quickly changing from a paper airplane… into a red paper figure!
The red paper figure from before!
“It’s you?”
Lin Feng naturally recognized it.
“Yes, it’s me.”
The Red Paper Figure said, its voice no longer deliberately hoarse but rather pleasant.
The Red Paper Figure appraised Lin Feng with its gaze and then looked at Tongtong for several seconds.
“Your ghost is indeed extraordinary, and your bond with your ghost seems beyond imagination… I’m starting to suspect that you might be a different, a more rare type of spirit medium that’s harder to detect.”
The Red Paper Figure said.
Hearing the Red Paper Figure’s words, Lin Feng did not rebut.
It was indeed unusual for an ordinary person to grow so quickly… if the Red Paper Figure wanted to speculate, let it. That would save Lin Feng time explaining.
“Are you also searching for that ghost?”
Lin Feng asked.
“Yes, your talent is not only impressive, but you also have great courage and seemingly good luck to have avoided it so far. However, did you forget what I told you? Humans are always more terrifying than ghosts. Now, trouble is coming your way. There are Ghost Masters targeting you. There is a path down the mountain from here; Head west. I am on my way and can help you deal with them.
“Trouble… Are you talking about the two Ghost Masters coming from the east?”
Upon hearing the Red Paper Figure’s words, Lin Feng replied casually.
The Red Paper Figure’s lively gaze showed surprise: “You know?”
“Yes, of course I know.”
The Red Paper Figure looked at Lin Feng in surprise again and said, “You’re still here knowing that? You don’t think you can handle them, do you?”
