Li Jia Yi perfectly demonstrated the saying that if you're not embarrassed, no one else will be, and casually withdrew his hand.
"Then..." Li Jia Yi said, "Let's go!"
Bai Ye nodded and walked out of the restaurant.
The surroundings were silent, with only the whistling sound of the night wind. However, Bai Ye was not letting his guard down, as the Lord of Yellow Clothes could appear at any moment.
Li Jia Yi said from beside him, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Bai Ye glanced at Li Jia Yi and casually asked, "Someone from the supernatural world?"
Li Jia Yi replied, "What makes you say that?"
Bai Ye pointed behind him, "The phone."
"It is indeed supernatural. I can use my mind to enter electronic communication devices, and this is the initial form. As my abilities improve, it can evolve into the ability to hack into electronics. I can use my mind to invade any electronic device," Li Jia Yi spread his hands, "But as you can see, this ability is completely useless in direct combat."
Bai Ye suddenly stopped and looked at Li Jia Yi, "You are not from the supernatural world."
Li Jia Yi paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow, "What makes you say that?"
Bai Ye said, "When faced with a question they don't want to answer, people most often adopt three methods: first, lying; second, stammering; third, evading the answer. Which do you think you are?"
Bai Ye had not asked about his ability!
Bai Ye asked...
Are you from the supernatural world?
Li Jia Yi smiled without speaking, then his expression suddenly changed, and he pulled Bai Ye aside, "Careful!"
After pulling Bai Ye away, Li Jia Yi decisively stood in front of him.
And at that very moment...
The ground suddenly cracked open, and a tentacle shot out from beneath the earth.
The Lord of Yellow Clothes had returned!
However, the tentacle did not smash forward. This was because Li Jia Yi was blocking Bai Ye. To smash Bai Ye, one had to smash Li Jia Yi first. But according to the rules of the Death Amusement Park, supervisors could not attack ghosts!
Mist began to spread around. The Lord of Yellow Clothes emerged from the fog and waved his hand forward. Immediately, another crack appeared behind Bai Ye, and a new tentacle shot out from the ground, attempting to strike Bai Ye from behind.
However, Li Jia Yi reacted even faster. He spread his arms wide, moved to the side, and intercepted the tentacles from both sides.
"Run, I'll follow you and won't let the supervisor attack you."
Bai Ye nodded and then headed towards the haunted house. However, Bai Ye deliberately slowed his pace, as Li Jia Yi might not be able to keep up if he ran at full speed.
The two moved forward, and Li Jia Yi's task was simple: he just needed to continuously circle around Bai Ye.
Although the Lord of Yellow Clothes continuously summoned tentacles, it was unable to complete an attack. Li Jia Yi positioned himself perfectly, always within the range of attack.
Of course, there were still ways, but it was hard to say whether supernatural beings like the Lord of Yellow Clothes were intelligent. They would not adapt and would only attack according to the rules, never violating them.
Therefore, in such a situation, they were forced to be hesitant.
Li Jia Yi smiled at Bai Ye, "How about that? I said I would definitely escort you to the haunted house."
Bai Ye shrugged his shoulders, "Turn left ahead!"
Li Jia Yi nodded and followed Bai Ye.
Having a "ghost" escorting him indeed made it much easier than barging through alone. Although the Lord of Yellow Clothes kept following them, it never got an opportunity to attack. Even if some tentacles occasionally managed to bypass Li Jia Yi and strike Bai Ye, as long as they couldn't form a continuous attack, Bai Ye could easily deal with them.
Soon, a burnt-down haunted house appeared before them, with a giant, scorched ghost head decoration lying on the ground, looking quite ferocious.
Li Jia Yi and Bai Ye stepped inside one after another. Upon entering the building, the Lord of Yellow Clothes voluntarily retreated, quickly disappearing into the gray mist.
Meanwhile, after the two entered the haunted house, Li Jia Yi took out a flashlight and illuminated their surroundings.
Before them was a large hall with two doors on each side. One was labeled "Entrance," and the other was labeled "Exit." Although the writing was blurry, some of it could still be discerned. Near the entrance, there was a small counter for handing out lighting equipment to visitors. Inside, a skeleton was slumped over, with spilled, faded bloodstains around it.
Bai Ye did not linger and gestured towards the entrance with his chin, "Go!"
"Aren't we going to search this place?" Li Jia Yi handed Bai Ye a flashlight, "Perhaps we'll find something?"
"Then you can search outside," Bai Ye said with a playful smile, "I'll search inside."
As Bai Ye spoke, he turned on his flashlight, held it in his left hand in reverse, and then rested the Dragon's Roar on the back of his left hand. With a kick, he forced open the door labeled "Entrance."
Li Jia Yi said no more and followed Bai Ye, "Are you a soldier?"
Bai Ye glanced at Li Jia Yi.
Li Jia Yi continued, "That's a standard stance for urban counter-terrorism units. The barrel is level with your shoulder, and you hold the flashlight in reverse under the gun. This allows you to provide normal illumination while ensuring you can fire immediately if there's danger."
Bai Ye curled his lips, "Just consider me... Careful..."
Before Bai Ye could finish speaking, he suddenly kicked Li Jia Yi, sending him sprawling to the side.
The moment Li Jia Yi fell to the ground, Bai Ye decisively fired!
Bang!
Accompanied by the gunshot, five beams of energy shot forward.
As Bai Ye turned, a hidden panel in the corridor sprang out, and standing on it was a fierce ghost with a green face and fangs.
However, the ghost didn't even have time to let out a sound. It merely raised its hand, and the five beams from the Dragon's Roar were already upon it.
With a loud explosion, the ghost's chest exploded. Bai Ye's shot nearly tore its body in half, and it fell backward stiffly.
After dispatching the ghost, Bai Ye looked at Li Jia Yi and said, "Be careful. In this godforsaken place, if you're not careful, your head might be taken by a ghost."
Li Jia Yi looked at the corpse on the ground, still shaken. Seeing Bai Ye turn and continue forward, he quickly followed.
"Do you have any clues about the haunted house murder incident back then?" Li Jia Yi asked, "I think we can start by investigating personnel records, meaning, starting with the employees of the haunted house from that year."
