The female escort, Li Junfei, and Sisi were stunned. They looked up, their blood running cold, their pupils contracting sharply. The escort and Sisi screamed.
"Ah!!!"
Ahead, on the highway, the row of streetlights flickered erratically, going in and out of illumination. A figure emerged from among them.
It was a person with a deathly pale face, their eyeballs having burst out and dangling from their sockets, their entire body contorted as if from a severe car accident, smashed to pieces.
At the appearance of this 'person'.
The female escort and Sisi turned deathly pale, screaming in terror.
This was no actor dressed as a ghost from a haunted house.
This was a ghost!
Screeching brakes. Because the ghost had walked out and blocked the road, obstructing their path, Zhang Wei slammed on the brakes.
"Don't, don't stop, ah, that, that ghost, it's coming."
The night breeze blew into the car through the open windows.
Catching the strong smell of blood and decay wafting in the air, the female escort no longer dared to argue. Terror filled her face. As a woman, she knew the smell of blood too well, having experienced it every month.
She could tell that the blood on the ghost was real. And as her gaze shifted to the ghost's feet, she became even more certain that the 'person' in front of the car was not someone playing a prank dressed as a ghost; it was a ghost!
Because the 'person' was floating, their feet not touching the ground.
And then.
Everything that happened next confirmed everyone's suspicions.
As if the ghost had heard the female escort's words.
Amidst the escort's terror, a wave of bloody, rotten stench washed over her. She looked down, her heart leaping into her throat, and stumbled out of the car in fear.
As she watched.
Blood suddenly gushed out of the car, and numerous hands crawled out from the unseen dark crevices beneath the car seats, reaching for their feet.
The terrifying sight sent the female escort, Sisi, and the others scrambling out of the car.
Only Zhang Wei and Li Junfei exchanged glances, understanding what was happening. This was a ghostly illusion, making the female escort and the others see phantoms.
At this moment.
Yuyu blinked her innocent big eyes and said naively:
"Camila sister, look quickly, the haunted house actors are here. Camila sister, it's your turn to perform, go for it!"
Female escort: "..."
Go for it my ass, what am I supposed to perform, get myself killed by a ghost?
Hearing this, the female escort felt like crying. Especially when she saw Yuyu waving at the ghost, beckoning it to look this way, to look at her. The female escort couldn't hold back:
"Yuyu, those aren't haunted house actors, that's, that's a real ghost."
She was too scared, her mind only focused on escaping.
But looking around at the dark road, all the streetlights were out, and the surroundings were plunged into an eerie blackness, she gave up on escaping.
She wasn't stupid. She knew that running off alone on this road, leaving everyone else behind, was no different from a supporting character in a horror movie or novel getting separated from the protagonists and being alone – it was pure suicide. The best course of action was to run with everyone else, which would at least reduce the probability of death.
However, just as she finished speaking and was about to tell Zhang Wei and the others to run together.
Yuyu, upon hearing her words, didn't seem scared as expected. Instead, he tilted his head, his young face filled with confusion:
"Huh? Is that a real ghost? Then why are you scared, Camila sister?"
"Oh, I get it. Camila is a dark giant, she can't fight ghosts, right? After all, ghosts also symbolize darkness. It's okay, Tiga big brother is here. Big brother is the embodiment of light. Ghosts are afraid of light."
"Am I right, Tiga big brother?"
Saying that, he shouted at the ghost:
"Ghost, don't bully Camila sister, Tiga brother is here."
His innocent childlike actions stunned not only the female escort but even the ghost.
The next moment.
The ghost looked at Yuyu's action of asking Zhang Wei next to him and let out a sinister laugh:
"Tiga fights monsters, but he can't beat me."
[Ding! The red-clothed fierce ghost wants to burst into laughter, dying from laughter. It's the brink of death and still playing house? As expected, children are foolishly innocent, hahaha.]
[Host has gained system points +50]
Its voice was cold and chilling, laced with a hint of mockery.
It had already planned to torment and kill the so-called 'Tiga big brother' in front of Yuyu, letting him watch his own death and fill his childhood with trauma before dying.
However, as it started to laugh.
Facing the defamation of his idol, Yuyu retorted indignantly:
"You're lying, Tiga big brother is light, he will defeat you. If you dare to come over, Tiga big brother will transform into Tiga and kill you!"
His childish voice held a seriousness.
The ghost laughed:
"Light? Then let Tiga big brother transform, come and kill me, please let Tiga big brother kill me..."
Its voice was not loud.
But on this dark and silent night road, everyone could hear it.
The next moment.
Under the female escort's incredulous gaze, and as the ghost's eyes widened, its only remaining eyeball about to burst and bleed...
Having been refuted, how could the child Yuyu stand it? He cried and looked at Zhang Wei:
"Tiga big brother, that ghost is slandering you. It says you can't beat him. I don't believe it. It's lying, right, wuwuwu~"
"Don't cry, Yuyu. How could big brother not be able to beat it? Wait for me, I'll transform and deal with it."
Zhang Wei rubbed Yuyu's little head and borrowed the Tiga transformation toy from him:
"Yuyu, give me big brother's transformation device."
Then Zhang Wei took the transformation toy.
[Ding! Tiga Ultraman transformation device toy enhanced with 3000 system points]
Accompanied by the system prompt, Zhang Wei, holding the transformation device, ran towards the ghost:
Under the bright moonlight, the Tiga Ultraman transformation device held in Zhang Wei's hand was glowing, not with the light of a light bulb, but with a pure and righteous energy, a brilliant white light that even the ghost feared.
"Tiga!!!"
*Swoosh!*
A burst of light erupted from the opening and closing of the Tiga transformation device.
Brilliant and soft light bloomed, growing brighter and brighter, illuminating the dark road, bathing it in light. Golden radiance enveloped Zhang Wei's entire body.
As the light covering Zhang Wei gradually dissipated.
Zhang Wei was gone.
In his place stood a giant of light.
It was Tiga!!
Looking at Zhang (Tiga) Wei's figure enveloped in specks of light, the female escort, Sisi, and the others were dumbfounded.
"This..."
The female escort was bewildered, her mind a blank slate, with only one image remaining... It was when Yuyu first called Zhang Wei "Tiga big brother" and asked him about Ultraman... So that wasn't a joke, it was a real-time interview?!
Thinking of this.
The female escort's eyes widened, her heart filled with shock... So... I was called to be an escort by Tiga? My escort boss is Tiga Ultraman's human host?!
Sisi was also stunned. The scene also flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but look at Li Junfei beside her... My future boyfriend... his buddy, Tiga Ultraman's human host?!
...
