The Mysterious Card Maker: Starting with Zhang Jiao's Deification

The streetlights cast a dim yellow glow, and the night wind swirled a few withered leaves across the road. Lin Fan and his companion squatted there, unaware of anything appearing behind them.

There were no footsteps, no one, nothing at all!

Several bullet comments popped up

What are they doing? Let's go!

【I am bored】

[The two anchors could switch careers and become actors]

Qin Muyao held up her phone, glanced at Lin Fan, and her eyes seemed to say, "Are you serious?"

Lin Fan made a shushing gesture with his mouth.

Seeing this, Qin Muyao had no choice but to hold up her phone, pointing the camera in the direction of the tunnel she had come from, and wait quietly.

Why is the streamer not saying anything?

[Hey newbie, what are you doing?]

[What the hell are you?!]

As the comments scrolled by, a figure appeared at the end of the passageway.

His dark robe covered him completely, and his hood was pulled down low, making it impossible to see his face.

"Where is he? Why is he gone?" he said, full of confusion, and then took out his phone to make a call.

Just then, Qin Muyao's phone suddenly beeped, the sound of someone sending a "cruise ship" as a gift.

The man noticed it too, immediately put down his phone, and walked towards Lin Fan.

Lin Fan took a deep breath, slowly stood up, took a step forward, and stood on the stone steps by the roadside, staring intently at the person.

"Have you been following us for quite a while? What's up? Need something from us?" Lin Fan's voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

The man lifted his hood, revealing a pair of dark red eyes that looked like two flames hanging on his head.

He spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "I was planning to find you when you were alone, but since you guys have come out on your own, you can't blame me."

As the man spoke, his gaze fell upon Qin Muyao behind Lin Fan, making it seem as if he was speaking directly to her.

He pulled his hands out of his robe, revealing a pair of hands that were completely bloodless.

He spread his five fingers, and a dark red mist condensed and changed in his palm, eventually transforming into a red bone blade half the height of a person.

"call out"

With a gentle swing, the bone blade sliced ​​through the air, making a sound.

Lin Fan's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the bone blade in the man's hand. This bone blade was not a card; it was something he had created out of thin air. And the 'person' with this ability was not human!

It's a bizarre humanoid creature, a bizarre humanoid creature with consciousness! Why did it target me?

"Why are you looking for me?"

The "person" did not answer, but instead charged towards Lin Fan with the knife in his hand.

Lin Fan placed his hands on [Baboerben] and [Benboerba], but he didn't rush to summon them. He was waiting for a better opportunity.

He intends to use the bond between these two cards, "Muddy Swamp," to trap this "person."

The [Muddy Swamp] will appear alongside them, he intends to catch them off guard.

"Knock knock knock"

Before Lin Fan could make a move, a series of dark figures descended from the sky, landing squarely on the passageway and raising a cloud of dust.

The 'person' abruptly stopped, holding the bone blade horizontally in front of him. The dark red light in his eyes brightened slightly, and he said impatiently, "You troublemaker!"

As the dust settled, five gray-white figures were revealed, their bodies hunched over, with maggots wriggling on their dark green skin.

Skeleton-eating ghost!

Lin Fan recognized them at a glance. According to the "Encyclopedia of the Strange", they should live alone in the cemetery and feed on skeletons. How could they appear here in groups?

The 'person' also sensed something was wrong, its expression changed, and it muttered to itself in confusion, "A ghoul? How did this thing get here?"

Unlike him, the ghouls cannot express themselves, let alone converse.

A ghoul slowly straightened up, tilted its head, and stared at the 'person' with its empty eye sockets. Its mouth slowly opened, revealing a row of uneven yellow teeth.

"Hungry..." It uttered a muffled sound, as if it were coming from underground.

The other four also spoke up:

"Hungry......"

"Hungry......"

The sounds overlapped, echoing in the quiet night, sending chills down one's spine.

The man's expression changed from confusion to wariness. He gripped the bone blade tightly and took a step back.

But the five ghouls seemed to be drawn to him, following closely behind and surrounding him even more tightly.

Lin Fan, holding the card, retreated to Qin Muyao's side.

"What's wrong?" Qin Muyao lowered her voice, but the live stream camera never left that 'person'.

"Wait until they're done fighting!" Lin Fan said casually.

Qin Muyao was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was a plan to snag a bargain.

The 'person' had clearly thought of this as well. His dark red eyes looked past the ghoul and at the two people watching the show from the side, a hint of gloom in his gaze.

"You think a few monsters can stop me?"

As he spoke, he swung his bone blade out suddenly, and a dark red blade of energy slashed towards the nearest ghoul.

The ghoul didn't dodge; he stretched out his withered hands and forcefully caught the blade's energy.

"Pfft"

The hands snapped off instantly, and dark green liquid spurted out, but the ghoul did not retreat; instead, it lunged forward.

The other four also moved.

Five ghouls pounced on the man at the same time. They didn't care about being injured or dying; they only wanted to tear the "person" in front of them apart and devour him.

The person was forced to retreat repeatedly.

His bone blade was indeed sharp enough to easily slice through their bodies.

But the ghouls don't feel pain. If one hand is cut off, they grab with the other; if two hands are cut off, they bite with their mouths. If one hand is cut down, the other immediately takes its place.

The battle was much more intense than Lin Fan had anticipated.

"Get out of my way!" the 'person' roared, the blade in his hand transforming into a scythe, which he swung fiercely at the ghouls.

A dark red blade of light spread outwards, cleaving the ghoul in two at the waist.

The ghoul fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then turned into clusters of green light, which eventually condensed into cards that fell to the ground.

"Now... it's your turn." The light in his eyes grew even brighter, and he looked at them as if they were prey.

"Lin..." Qin Muyao blurted out instinctively, but quickly realized her mistake and changed her words, saying, "Xiao Hei, aren't you going to get on?"

"etc!"

"If we wait any longer, his knife will be at our throats!" Qin Muyao spoke faster as the 'person' approached.

"You said..." He paused.

"What are you talking about? Stop playing coy!"

"They should live in the cemetery, so how did they end up here? And there's more than one of them," Lin Fan said calmly, his hand never leaving the card in his hand.

"You're going to drive me crazy!" Qin Muyao couldn't help but kick Lin Fan.

"I think... there must be a more powerful entity commanding them, and now..."

Lin Fan looked up at the tall buildings above him.

"They're here!"
