Bai Ye did not just watch the show the whole time. After glancing at those people, he got up and prepared to leave.
Bai Ye indeed wanted the ghost card, but that did not mean he would stop working if he did not draw one. To take a step back, what if he never drew the ghost card? Would he still not do the restricted area missions?
Therefore, human cards or not, the work still had to be done.
Bai Ye quickly reached the door, peeked outside, and then swiftly exited the circus tent.
Bai Ye jogged all the way to a废弃的指示牌 (abandoned signpost) and stopped.
"Haunted house, haunted house, haunted house…"
Looking at the signpost, Bai Ye quickly determined the direction of the haunted house.
Restricted Area Mission 2: Find the murderer from the haunted house murder case of the past!
Since everything pointed to the haunted house as the source of the incident back then, the haunted house was naturally the key to completing the restricted area mission!
After confirming the direction of the haunted house, Bai Ye started to jog again, but…
Suddenly, things started to feel wrong.
Bai Ye looked up at his surroundings. Unbeknownst to him, some blackish-grey mist had dispersed around him, making the area hazy, tranquil, and somewhat…
Deathly silent!
Bai Ye licked his lips, knowing that the supervisor had caught up.
As expected, just as Bai Ye was thinking, a tall figure walked out from the front.
The person was wearing a yellow robe and a large, tattered hood. Their face was obscured by a mass of red mist, making their features impossible to discern, except for the faint hint of blood-red pupils. Behind them was a huge wooden frame, from which several pieces of broken bone were hanging by ropes. As the figure moved, the bones swayed, knocking against each other with a crisp sound.
Even more bizarre was the lower half of their body. Beneath the wide yellow robe, no feet were visible. Instead, several thick tentacles, like those of an octopus, emerged from the robe and writhed on the ground, propelling the figure slowly forward towards Bai Ye.
"Supervisor…" Bai Ye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "The Lord of the Yellow Robe!"
The supervisor was no longer the Deer Head, or rather, there was more than just one Deer Head!
Three hours had not yet passed; it was not time for additional supervisors.
This meant that the injury Bai Ye had inflicted on the Deer Head by severing its arm had severely wounded it, significantly reducing its combat ability. Consequently, a second supervisor had appeared.
"Can't you at least switch it up?" Bai Ye spat on the ground and cursed, "This guy is a bit tricky!"
In his previous life, Bai Ye had obtained a spirit body in the Death Amusement Park and had fought many supervisors. The Lord of the Yellow Robe had left a deep impression on Bai Ye, and he was clearly much stronger than the Deer Head from before.
Bai Ye quickly surveyed his surroundings. With the Lord of the Yellow Robe blocking his path, if a frontal breakthrough was impossible, he would have to circle around from the side.
Bai Ye's brain began to work furiously, but the Lord of the Yellow Robe did not give him much time to think.
Suddenly…
*Crack!*
The ground in front of Bai Ye suddenly shattered, and then a giant tentacle emerged from the crack, striking down forcefully towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye snapped back to reality instantly and immediately leaped to the side.
*Bang!*
The tentacle hit the ground with a deafening roar, smashing the surface to pieces and creating a spiderweb of cracks.
The Lord of the Yellow Robe shifted its body. As it looked at Bai Ye again, purple illusions swirled around its hand, and it swung forward violently.
Bai Ye heard the sound of the ground cracking again, but this time, the Lord of the Yellow Robe's attack did not come from the front.
Instead, it came from…
The back!
Bai Ye's reaction was swift. He quickly bent down and dodged to the side. Even so, Bai Ye was startled. The tentacle struck with incredible speed, barely missing him as it landed, smashing the ground. The flying debris even grazed Bai Ye's body.
After landing, Bai Ye quickly turned around…
Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was the best!
After just two brief exchanges, Bai Ye decisively chose to run.
Setting aside everything else, the attack methods of the Lord of the Yellow Robe were far superior to the Deer Head's. The tentacles could appear from completely different directions to attack. Moreover, while burrowing required a brief prelude, the prelude was far shorter than the Deer Head's grappling hook throw.
Of course, the most important thing was that delaying with the Lord of the Yellow Robe was of no benefit. Bai Ye's objective was to get to the haunted house, and combat alone would not help him achieve his goal.
As Bai Ye ran forward, he looked around.
Come on, a few brave souls, help me attract some attention!
The participants this year are really pathetic. Why are they all so timid, just hiding in their rooms?
Just as Bai Ye was thinking, the ground ahead cracked again. Three consecutive tentacles emerged from Bai Ye's front, forming a wall to block his path and slamming down towards him.
"Thorn Blade!"
Bai Ye immediately held his Dragon's Roar horizontally, and then five energy beams shot out, transforming into energy blades.
In the next instant, Bai Ye leaped forward and swept them out with force.
The energy blades were incredibly sharp. As they swept forward, with three *swish* sounds, the three tentacles were easily severed.
Bai Ye followed by leaping over the severed tentacles, intending to continue running forward.
But just then, a purple glow suddenly appeared on the Lord of the Yellow Robe, and its figure flickered. It instantly teleported to the location of the tentacles, grabbed Bai Ye by the shoulder, and forcefully pulled him backward.
With a *clang*, Bai Ye crashed into a row of rusty iron railings, shattering them.
The Lord of the Yellow Robe turned around. The ground in front of Bai Ye cracked again, and a tentacle rose up and struck down towards Bai Ye.
"Hexagonal Prism Shield!"
*Bang!*
Bai Ye raised his arm, and the Hexagonal Prism Shield quickly appeared, blocking the attack for him. Then, Bai Ye swept his Dragon's Roar forward, cutting off that tentacle once again.
"Frost Condensation, Ice Barrier!"
The Frost Condensation sword also flew over at this moment. Landing beside Bai Ye, a large area of silvery-white frost appeared, pushing Bai Ye up.
The Lord of the Yellow Robe waved its hand again, and new tentacles reappeared.
*Bang, bang, bang…*
The tentacles continuously slammed against the ice wall, trying to break it. However, Bai Ye had already leaped over to the other side of the ice wall. He looked up and saw a large sign that read: Cosmic Spaceship.
Bai Ye quickly ran into the building and saw railway tracks. It turned out to be a roller coaster.
As Bai Ye entered the building, the Lord of the Yellow Robe immediately quieted down. The surrounding tentacles also disappeared without a trace. It slowly turned around and began to wander in the mist again, soon vanishing from sight.
