Chapter 40 The moment to witness a miracle has arrived.

Xiang Yu looked at the two people lying on the ground with their heads in their hands and helplessly spun around.

Yes, he really was spinning around.

He was holding a doll and spinning around in circles. When he turned around in front of a ghostly figure, it would remember that it was going to kill Xiang Yu; but when it turned away, it would forget what it was going to do.

It really is true that only a ghost can fight a ghost.

But this is only a temporary measure, which can only delay the time of death for a while.

The inflatable castle kept spitting out little devils, but it wasn't a perpetual spinning top; there would come a time when it would stop spinning.

What should I do?

He estimated that he could only keep spinning for a few more minutes. When he could no longer withstand it, all three of them would be torn to pieces by these things.

We must determine within this timeframe what this strange source is attached to!

The strange occurrence happened before the building was completed.

Initially, eight people went missing.

The strange occurrences had nothing to do with anything that happened after the mall renovations...

Xiang Yu suddenly realized something, slowly stopped, and then shouted, "Get up and keep running!"

"what?"

An Ling was completely stunned. She thought Xiang Yu had at least managed to stabilize the situation, so why was she running for her life again after such a short while?

The paper-clothed man next to him also sprang up, but as soon as he stood up straight, countless empty gazes from all directions were fixed on him, making his hair stand on end from the cold.

"Where...where can we run? Do we even think we can escape?!"

"Running away is definitely out of the question." Xiang Yu rubbed his throbbing temples, emphasizing each word, "But I've already found the source."

"Found it?!" An Ling's eyes lit up immediately.

The man in paper clothes didn't believe Xiang Yu's explanation at all. After all, in this situation, even if Calabash Brothers came, they would probably be surrounded and worn down.

However, he had promised Xiang Yu that he would obey Xiang Yu's orders no matter what, so he said somewhat helplessly, "Okay, I trust you."

"It's alright, believe me or not, but I've definitely found it." Xiang Yu pointed to one of the eight large pillars on the fourth floor. "Go that way!"

Xiang Yu took the lead, dispersing his accumulated energy to every part of his body, tearing apart one ghostly figure after another with punches and elbows.

But these little devils were not afraid of death at all; even after being shattered, their bodies continued to try to resist.

They have no concept of "death" at all. The shattered arm lay on the ground, and the severed hand actually groped its way over and grabbed his ankle tightly; the blasted torso lay limp, and the remaining head opened its mouth and tried to bite his trouser leg.

The severed limbs crawled and dragged silently across the soft, plastic floor, converging on him.

Xiang Yu felt that each step was getting heavier and heavier, like a person sinking into a swamp. The more he struggled, the tighter the broken body clung to him, pulling him inch by inch into the mud.

He felt increasingly unable to move forward, especially when he saw a head suddenly fly over and about to bite his neck!

Xiang Yu frowned. His fists were still tightly entangled with the ghostly figures in front of him, and his legs were stuck on the debris, making it impossible for him to dodge this time…

Are we just going to have to take this hit head-on?

"Bang!"

A loud bang rang out, and the head that was about to bite Xiang Yu exploded. Xiang Yu was stunned. He still had allies.

He turned to look at An Ling and the paper-clothed man, who were also stunned. Moreover, neither of them had the ability to make the little devils' heads explode.

What's going on?

"...It's us."

At that moment, Xiang Yu heard a familiar voice.

A tall man slowly emerged from the ghostly figures, and Xiang Yu was initially surprised, then couldn't help but laugh:

"Holy crap, you guys are really amazing, to be able to do something like this."

Ji Zhuo and Li Yiheng stood brazenly in the very center of the ghost tide. What was most eerie was that the ghostly figures seemed to ignore them, allowing them to pass through the middle as if they were one of them.

An Ling looked up and saw Ji Zhuo and Li Yiheng's appearance, and couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"this……"

Ji Zhuo and Li Yiheng both had an inexplicably bloated figure, with loose, sagging skin. The seams between their heads and bodies were wrinkled together, as if they were wearing clothes that were several sizes too big. Their heads and bodies didn't look like they were attached to a skeleton at all.

When Xiang Yu saw this, he realized what the two had done and couldn't help but marvel at how they could have come up with such a method.

They skinned the ghost.

Covering one's body with paper to avoid ghost attacks is not a difficult idea. At least Xiang Yu thought of it when he first entered the mall. The paper-clothed man also realized this method after hiding for a while, which is why he covered his body with paper.

But whether it's paper clothing or white paper, the underlying principle for preventing ghost attacks is to mix it in, making the ghosts think they are one of their own, thus avoiding attracting their attention.

Knowing this underlying logic, and without any paper garments around, there is another method...

Put on the skin of a ghost.

At this moment, Xiang Yu thought of something else.

Here, "humans are ghosts," and "ghosts are humans."

To wear a ghost's skin and blend in with the ghosts... this behavior is exactly in accordance with the rules of this place.

Li Yiheng, who was already timid, looked terrible at this moment. His face had turned green, and he kept covering his mouth, as if he wanted to vomit.

On the contrary, Ji Zhuo remained expressionless. He said without much emotion, "This godforsaken place dared to use my daughter's image to trick me into coming here... I must destroy this place."

"Impressive." Xiang Yu gave a thumbs up. To be honest, he hadn't even thought of this method.

Perhaps it was the mall ghost's behavior that crossed Ji Zhuo's bottom line as a father, causing Ji Zhuo to completely abandon his humanity and treat this place in the most ruthless way.

"Sorry, I didn't prepare any skins for you because I didn't know where you were." Ji Zhuo raised his hand, aimed, and pulled the trigger. The heads of several ghostly figures exploded.

Of course, these ghosts cannot die, and smashing their heads won't stop their advance, which is the most unsolvable aspect.

"It's fine. Even if you take it off for me, I'll still have to think twice about whether to wear this thing... It's a bit disgusting."

With Ji Zhuo's help, Xiang Yu's breakout became a little easier. After all, Xiang Yu was no match for everyone, and he was bound to be careless when faced with attacks coming from all directions.

As a human being, being injured would indeed affect his combat effectiveness.

Ji Zhuo was like a pair of eyes suspended in mid-air, targeting the ghosts that were about to pounce on Xiang Yu. Whenever a ghost's hand was about to reach the back of Xiang Yu's neck, he would fire a shot, severing the arm at the wrist.

After several attempts, Xiang Yu finally led the two people behind him to one of the pillars.

"Section Chief Xiang," Ji Zhuo's gun clicked empty. He casually reached into Li Yiheng's waist, pulled out a magazine, and deftly shoved it into the gun. "Have you found a way to break through this place?"

"Guess?"

Xiang Yu pressed his back against the cold concrete pillar, one hand blocking the approaching ghostly figure in front of him, the other palm pressed against the pillar's surface. Deep within his palm, a wisp of energy began to quietly gather.

"The moment to witness a miracle has arrived."
