Bai Ye did not merely spectate, casting a glance at the onlookers before preparing to depart.
While Bai Ye desired the Ghost Card, it didn't mean he would cease his efforts if he didn't draw one. To take a step back, what if he never drew the Ghost Card? Would the Forbidden Zone missions still be undertaken?
Therefore, people cards were people cards, but the work that needed to be done still had to be done.
Bai Ye soon arrived at the door, peeked outside, and then quickly left 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..."
Bai Ye looked at the signpost and quickly determined the direction of the Haunted House.
Forbidden Zone Mission 2: Find the murderer of the Haunted House killing incident from that year!
Since the incident from that year, all origins pointed to the Haunted House, then the Haunted House was naturally the key to completing the Forbidden Zone mission!
After confirming the direction of the Haunted House, Bai Ye jogged all the way again, but...
Things suddenly started to feel wrong.
Bai Ye looked up at his surroundings. Unbeknownst to him, some dark gray mist had dispersed around him, making the area hazy, serene, and somewhat...
Deathly silent!
Bai Ye licked his lips, knowing the Overseer had caught up.
As expected, while Bai Ye was thinking, a tall figure walked out from ahead.
The person was dressed in a yellow robe, wore a wide and tattered hood, and their face was covered by a mass of red mist, making it impossible to see their features clearly. Only blood-red pupils could be vaguely seen. Behind them was a large wooden frame, on which several broken bones hung by ropes. As the figure moved, the broken bones swayed and knocked against each other, making crisp sounds.
Even more bizarre was the lower half of their body. Beneath the wide yellow robe, their feet were not visible. Instead, several thick tentacles, like those of an octopus, emerged from within the robe, wriggling on the ground, allowing the figure to move slowly and advance towards Bai Ye.
"Overseer..." Bai Ye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "The Lord in Yellow!"
The Overseer was no longer the Deer Head, or rather, it wasn't just the Deer Head alone!
Three hours had not yet passed; it was not yet time to add Overseers.
This meant that the injury Bai Ye had inflicted by severing the Deer Head's arm had severely wounded it, causing its combat ability to noticeably decline. Thus, the second Overseer appeared.
"But couldn't you have been someone else?" Bai Ye spat on the ground and cursed, "This guy is a bit difficult to deal with!"
In his previous life, Bai Ye had obtained a spirit body in the Death Amusement Park and had naturally clashed with many Overseers. Among them, the Lord in Yellow left a deep impression on Bai Ye; he was clearly much stronger than the Deer Head before.
Bai Ye quickly surveyed his surroundings. With the Lord in Yellow blocking the path, if he couldn't break through from the front, he would have to take a detour from the side.
Bai Ye began to frantically burn his brain cells, but the Lord in Yellow didn't give Bai Ye much time to think.
Suddenly...
With a crack!
The ground in front of Bai Ye suddenly shattered, and then, a giant tentacle emerged from the crack, slamming down forcefully towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye immediately snapped back to reality and immediately leaped to the side.
Bang!
The tentacle hit the ground, and after a loud noise, it shattered the ground directly, causing a large area of spiderweb-like cracks to appear.
The Lord in Yellow shifted its body, and as it looked at Bai Ye again, its hand coiled with purple phantom energy and then it violently swung forward.
Bai Ye heard the sound of the ground cracking again, but this time, the Lord in Yellow's attack did not come from the front.
Instead, it was...
From behind!
Bai Ye's reaction was quick; he swiftly bent down and moved to the side. Even so, Bai Ye was startled. The tentacle's striking speed was too fast. It grazed Bai Ye as it landed on the ground, shattering it. The splashing debris then hit Bai Ye's body.
After landing, Bai Ye quickly turned around...
Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing is the best!
After just two brief exchanges, Bai Ye decisively chose to run.
Putting aside other factors, just looking at the attack methods, the Lord in Yellow was much stronger than the Deer Head. Its tentacles could appear from completely different directions to attack, and although it required a preparatory period when drilling from the ground, that period was far shorter than the Deer Head's grappling hook throw.
Of course, the most important thing was that there was no benefit in stalling with the Lord in Yellow. Bai Ye's objective was to go to the Haunted House; fighting would not help achieve that goal.
Bai Ye ran forward while looking around.
Come on, a few fearless souls, help distract the attention!
The participants this time are really no good. Why are they all so cowardly, only knowing how to hide in their houses.
As Bai Ye was thinking, the ground ahead shattered again, and three consecutive tentacles emerged from Bai Ye's front, forming a wall to block Bai Ye's path, and simultaneously swinging down to strike at Bai Ye.
"Stinger!"
Bai Ye immediately held his Dragon's Roar horizontally, and then five energy beams shot out, transforming into energy blades.
The next moment, Bai Ye leaped forward and swept it forward forcefully.
The energy blade was extremely sharp. As it swept forward, with three '噗' sounds, the three tentacles were easily severed.
Bai Ye followed through, crossing over the severed tentacles, intending to continue running forward.
But at this moment, purple light suddenly appeared on the Lord in Yellow's body, and then its figure flickered. It actually teleported instantly to the location of the tentacles and grabbed Bai Ye's shoulder.
Although the Lord in Yellow attacked with tentacles, its own strength was also immense. After grabbing Bai Ye's shoulder and forcefully pulling backward, Bai Ye was sent flying.
With a clang, Bai Ye crashed into a row of rusty iron railings, shattering them.
The Lord in Yellow turned around. The ground in front of Bai Ye cracked again, a tentacle rose, and slammed down towards Bai Ye.
"Hexagonal Prism Shield!"
Bang!
Bai Ye raised his arm, and the Hexagonal Prism Shield quickly appeared, blocking the attack for Bai Ye. Then, Bai Ye swept his Dragon's Roar forward, cutting off that tentacle again.
"Frosty, Ice Wall!"
The Frosty Sword also flew over at this moment. Landing beside Bai Ye, a large expanse of silvery-white frost appeared, propping Bai Ye up.
The Lord in Yellow waved its hand again, and new tentacles reappeared.
Bang, bang, bang...
The tentacles continuously struck the ice wall, attempting to shatter it. However, Bai Ye had already leaped to the other side of the ice wall in advance. Looking up, he saw a large sign that read: Cosmic Spaceship.
Bai Ye quickly ran into the building and saw the tracks. It turned out to be a roller coaster.
As Bai Ye entered the building, the Lord in Yellow 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.
