"I can't tell where this is or is not the harbor city." The three of them wandered around in the dark harbor city for a while, and teammate No. 2 suddenly said.

Xiao Yuan and teammate No. 1 did not speak. Although they were sure that they were in the port city, the streets here were very strange. No store was open, all were closed, and there were no words on the signs. It was pitch black. It was like a city built in gray, with no color.

Although Teammate No. 2 had patrolled every area of the port city, he was unable to find their exact location from the building model that had no special reference objects.

And the further you go out, the more perfunctory the streets become. At the beginning, there were some signs outside, but later these signs disappeared and turned into black squares. Going further out, even the doors of the shops disappeared and turned into a dark concave wall. It looked like someone had made a rough shape with rubber and then gave up.

"There shouldn't be anything outside, right?" Teammate No. 1 said, "Should we not go outside? I suspect the outside will just become a black background."

Xiao Yuan said: "Then go to the background board and take a look."

Teammate No. 2 said silently: "The main city of Hong Kong is dozens of kilometers from south to north..."

Xiao Yuan glanced at him.

Teammate No. 2 silently went to the side to take a look at the shared bicycle. Unfortunately, this shared bicycle was just a crudely made model and could not be ridden at all.

The three of them began their journey across the port city. Before long, the buildings next to them were no longer buildings, but stacked blocks. They didn't even have colors, they were just randomly stacked to form a model of a building.

Teammate No. 1 was completely unable to walk anymore and suggested taking a break. Xiao Yuan did not force them and found a block of suitable height on the side of the road to sit down.

"There are blocks like this everywhere outside. The clue must be in the amusement park," said teammate number one.

"It's possible..."

Xiao Yuan suddenly made a gesture to keep quiet.

The other two immediately shut up as if trained, and one even touched his ears.

Teammate No. 1 showed a puzzled expression and whispered, "Did I hear it wrong?"

Teammate No. 2 shook his head: "No, there are indeed other sounds."

Xiao Yuan gave a direct answer: "Footsteps."

The footsteps were not loud, and they stopped when they stopped talking, obviously not wanting them to hear them.

He stood up from the block that served as a stool. The small knife that appeared in his hand at some point turned neatly in his hand. He walked towards the direction where the footsteps came from, and No. 1 and No. 2 followed immediately.

They turned a corner and saw a man standing in the middle of the street they came from.

In this dark world, the man was also dark. The only clear thing was the blood on his arm and the blood-stained wood saw in his hand. It was an ordinary saw used to saw larger wood, about half a meter long, with a saw blade more than two fingers wide, and it looked like it could easily saw a human head.

"Is this a ghost?" Teammate No. 1 said, quickly groping for the talisman in his pocket.

"It should be." Xiao Yuan's face darkened.

Teammate No. 1 waved a talisman and said, "Taishang Laojun, hurry up and obey the command!"

The talisman paper fluttered in the air, and there was not even any wind, and several pieces of paper just fluttered down.

Teammate number one was stunned.

The black figure holding the wood saw rushed over immediately, moving very quickly!

Xiao Yuan immediately pushed Number One, and at the same time used the force to slide his feet, leaning back to avoid the shadow's wood saw. At the same time, he raised the knife in his hand towards the shadow and cut a gash on the shadow's thigh.

Although the black shadow man had no visible facial features and did not look like a human at all, blood still gushed out when his thigh was cut.

"You can kill him." Xiao Yuan sneered.

Teammates No. 1 and No. 2 had already run several meters away. The two tried their best, throwing cinnabar and chanting spells. They quickly tried everything they could use. Finally, they came to the conclusion: the methods they usually used to deal with ghosts and monsters were completely useless here!

The shadowy figure ignored the gesticulations of No. 1 and No. 2. He quickly identified the main source of danger, which was Xiao Yuan. The one who could hurt him was much more dangerous than the other two useless guys who could only scream.

Xiao Yuan held the dagger in his hand, his eyes twitching slightly. He was too excited and his muscles were shaking unnaturally. He knew that in this battle, one person had to die. The opponent had to die, and if he got out of here, he would die in this ghost's stomach.

Although this shadow man has a human body, his physical fitness is obviously much higher than that of ordinary people, and he is a very difficult opponent to deal with.

After just a moment of thought, the black shadow man quickly moved again, raising the wood saw in his hand and pulling it towards Xiao Yuan!

Perhaps it was because Xiao Yuan injured his thigh in the first attack, which made him learn a lesson. This time he also faced Xiao Yuan's leg. At this height, it was impossible for Xiao Yuan to dodge by leaning back. Xiao Yuan chose to jump up directly, raised his leg and kicked towards the shadow man.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan suddenly saw that the black shadow's mouth was shaking, and it looked like he was smiling. He immediately realized that something was wrong.

The speed of the shadow man was so fast that when Xiao Yuan just kicked out, he had already stretched out the hand that was not holding the wood saw, grabbed Xiao Yuan's leg and pressed him directly to the ground!

The shadow man was very strong. Xiao Yuan felt that his leg was probably broken. However, he did not have time to think about it, because after the shadow man pressed him to the ground, he immediately raised his other hand. It was obvious that he wanted to press him to the ground and cut him into pieces with a wood saw!

Now he knew where the blood on the shadow man's wood saw came from.

However, he did not give up resisting, and stabbed the wrist of the shadow man holding the wood saw with the dagger in his hand.

He felt that he would not be able to stab him as the speed difference between the two was too great. But suddenly he saw the shadow man stop moving, and his dagger stabbed straight into the shadow man's forearm.

"Run!" Teammate No. 1 twisted a black block and smashed it over here, hitting the shadow man on the head. No. 1 shouted over there, "I can't beat him, he's too strong, think of a way, run first!"

Xiao Yuan took this opportunity to use the knife in his hand to circle the shadow man's arm, then got up and ran out.

After just a few steps, cold sweat immediately broke out on his face and the severe pain in his calf slowed him down. His calf was indeed broken.

The shadow man did not look at him again, but turned towards teammate number one.

"Don't stop, split up, let's run in different directions! Escape from him!" Teammate No. 1 shouted as he ran out. He stopped after running a few steps and yelled at the shadow man, "Come on, hit me!"

Teammate No. 2 followed suit, picking up a black block nearby and throwing it at the shadow man. When the shadow man turned around, he shouted, "Big fool, come chase me!"

The shadowy figure weighed between number one and number two, and chased after number one.

Number One quickly made a gesture to Number Two, and the two ran away separately, but met again at a narrow intersection. Number One ran through the intersection, and Number Two immediately pushed down a large pile of blocks from the upstairs and smashed them at the shadow man.

The shadow man was hit so hard that he felt dizzy and immediately chased after No. 2 with a wood saw in hand.

Xiao Yuan got a chance to catch his breath. He endured the severe pain and rested for a while. He found a long black square on the side of the road, took off a piece of clothing and used it as a bandage to fix his broken leg. Then he chased after the source of the noise from No. 1 and No. 2.

Although number one and number two were running, they were generally running in circles. Xiao Yuan caught up with them very quickly, but just when he was about to reach the place where the two made the noise, he suddenly stopped and looked towards the community next to him.

In this place full of perfunctory blocks, this community appears particularly clear, and even has its name: Tongfuyuan.

Xiao Yuan's face turned even uglier. He immediately understood what was going on and cursed, "It's Chi Shen again!"

He walked into the Tongfuyuan community cursing, and sure enough, he found an electric bike that he could ride downstairs. Although the ones in other places were all models, the ones in this community were usable.

Xiao Yuan quickly pried the lock, then went to the security room to grab two sticks, and rode his electric scooter to look for the shadowy figure.

When Xiao Yuan caught up with them, both No. 1 and No. 2 were injured. One had half of his hand sawed off. Although the other one didn't have any external injuries, he walked with a limp. The shadow man was not in a much better condition. In addition to the wooden saw in his hand, his body was deformed by the smashing. Even so, he still chased No. 1 and No. 2 without feeling any pain.

Xiao Yuan stepped on the accelerator to the maximum and crashed directly into the black figure with a bang!

The shadow man couldn't avoid it and was immediately thrown several meters away, and the wooden saw in his hand was also broken.

Seeing Xiao Yuan coming with equipment, No. 1 and No. 2 were immediately overjoyed. Xiao Yuan gave each of them a wooden stick and drove the electric car to the side of the shadow man.

At this moment, No. 1 and No. 2 picked up the wood saw of the shadow man. They used wooden sticks as crowbars and directly pried the wood saw into pieces, which they quickly threw away. They did not think that this thing could be used as a weapon in their hands. They broke the wood saw just to prevent the shadow man from snatching it away again and increasing the opponent's lethality.

While they were doing this, Xiao Yuan did not ride his electric scooter to hit the shadow man again. He parked the scooter aside, got off the scooter, and limped towards the shadow man.

In his hand, the knife looked like frosted glass in the dark, and he was smiling as he held the knife.

"You have more physical strength than me, so I hold the weapon and you go unarmed. It's only fair."

Xiao Yuan showed the knife in his hand and smiled, revealing teeth that were the same color as the blade.

"I broke a leg and you got hit by a car, that's fair enough."

He rushed towards the shadowy figure.

The shadowy figure also ran towards him.

The injured black shadow man's movements were obviously slower, although he was still faster than Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Yuan had already calculated the opponent's movements.

This is a man who has absolutely no idea how to fight, he only uses brute force and has no fighting skills whatsoever.

so……

The shadow man swung a punch, but Xiao Yuan did not dodge. He knew he could not dodge it with his speed. One of his shoulders was directly hit and dented. At the same time, the dagger in his hand pierced the shadow man's throat.

He immediately slashed with the knife horizontally, and blood gushed out from the black shadow man's throat like a fountain.

"Ghost...will he die if his throat is stabbed?" Number One and Number Two originally wanted to help, but after seeing this scene, they quickly realized that there was no need for their help, and the two of them asked the question in unison.

"Yes." On the quiet street, no sound could be heard clearly, and Xiao Yuan answered their question, "Of course."

Xiao Yuan pulled out the dagger, and the shadow man fell to the ground, covering his throat and began to struggle.

Blood dyed half of the street red and splattered all over Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Yuan raised the dagger again with an expressionless face and stabbed the black shadow man's heart a few more times.

Not long after, the shadow man stopped moving completely.

Xiao Yuan also collapsed on the ground, looking at the sky, with a smile on his face as if he had survived a disaster.

Teammates No. 1 and No. 2 also slowly came over. Although both of them were injured, they were also smiling. Teammate No. 1 asked Xiao Yuan: "Where did you get the battery car? Did you go back to the amusement park?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head: "I went to Chi Shen's house to get it. This place is related to Chi Shen."

"Did Chi Shen do it?" Teammate No. 2 showed a shocked expression.

Xiao Yuan shook his head again: "No, this ghost must have seen Chi Shen and was impressed by him, so Chi Shen's home would appear here. He might even be afraid of Chi Shen, otherwise he wouldn't have studied the neighborhood where he lives so thoroughly."

Number One and Number Two nodded, indicating that they roughly understood what Xiao Yuan meant.

"Thanks to this ghost who is afraid of Chi Shen," Teammate No. 1 sat down next to Xiao Yuan and also looked up at the sky, "Do you think our injuries will heal if we get out?"

"This is also my first time in a place like this," Xiao Yuan said, "I don't know."

"I don't know what's going on outside after I get out. Have all the ghosts in Hong Kong City been controlled?"

"If we go out and have to face the ghosts again, we'll probably really be gone."

"Yeah, if all the ghosts are gone when I go out, I need to get some good sleep for a few days. We have walked half of the harbor city, I am really tired."

"I think so, but what will it be like to get out? I didn't feel anything when I came in, and I didn't even know how I got in. Will I be able to get out suddenly?"

"Is it the day slowly getting brighter?"

"Come to think of it, we've been talking for so long, why hasn't anything changed here?"

Xiao Yuan's dilated pupils brightened up again. He stared at the sky for two seconds and suddenly said, "Let's go back to the amusement park."

Teammate number two turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yuan's face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said, "We may have thought wrongly. The amusement park is a safe house. It is used to hide from this ghost with a saw. There may be another ghost with a saw outside. We can't kill a second one."

"No, that's not right," Xiao Yuan's voice was trembling, "He is not a ghost. He, like those ducks and the grandmother at the door, is a thing created by this world. We didn't find a real ghost."

Although this was a devastating discovery, both No. 1 and No. 2 had received professional training and had strong psychological qualities. After hearing what Xiao Yuan said, No. 2, whose hand was still intact, immediately went to pick up the electric bike nearby, let the other two who were more seriously injured sit on the back seat, and drove the two towards the amusement park.

No one spoke along the way.

When they reached the entrance of the amusement park, Xiao Yuan said again: "Don't get off the bike, ride around the outside. We have already checked the inside of the amusement park, there are no ghosts, but the safe house he created himself should not be too far away."

Number Two obediently rode his bike and started circling around the playground.

Number One held up his broken hand, suddenly looked up at the sky, and asked in confusion: "Do you feel that it seems to be a little brighter? The sky is not as dark as before?"

Xiao Yuan was already in a semi-comatose state and did not respond.

Number Two was concentrating on driving and ignored him.

This amusement park is very large, with a circle of iron railings outside and a road separating the amusement park from the houses outside. This road is like a dividing line, separating the dilapidated and exquisite amusement park from the gray-black square buildings outside.

From the outside, it looked like a game company's modelers had built the amusement park and then trashed it.

"It's all the same stuff," Number Two said quietly, "I don't see anything different."

While No. 2 was anxiously looking for something outside the amusement park, No. 1 was still looking at the sky. He suddenly shouted, "It's really lit up!"

At this moment, the electric car suddenly stopped.

Xiao Yuan bumped into No. 1 and the severe pain woke him up again. He looked ahead at the road.

A little girl was lying outside the fence of the amusement park, tiptoeing on her feet, looking longingly at the little airplane spinning inside.

The little girl was watching so intently that even their arrival did not divert her attention.

Xiao Yuan recognized the little girl at a glance. He had seen this little girl in the files related to Chi Shen.

"Huang Lingling." He walked to the little girl with a knife in his hand and called out her name.

The little girl looked back at him but ignored him and continued to look at the swing in the amusement park. She bounced slightly on her raised feet as if she was sitting on the swing herself.

"Is it her?" Teammate No. 1 asked.

"It's a pity, but we went through so much trouble to find her." Teammate No. 2 said, "I've seen her too. On New Year's Day, Chi Shen went to help the Zhong family and took her with him when he left."

However, teammate number two also showed a puzzled expression: "I didn't see her ghost power so strong before. According to your description, she must be a very powerful ghost to create such a space, but when I met her, she was a little ghost that I could deal with."

"What happened?" Number One asked.

Number Two shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Faced with Huang Lingling's indifference, Xiao Yuan did not say much. He raised the knife with the hand that was still able to move, but his hand was shaking because of the pain.

The sky suddenly brightened, and just as Xiao Yuan was about to swing his knife, Huang Lingling suddenly raised her head. She blinked, and the longing look in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a strange smile. However, she still did not look back at Xiao Yuan, but looked in the other direction of the road.

The sun rose from that place, and a person tore through space and walked towards them. It was Chi Shen.

Chi Shen walked towards this side slowly with the sun behind him. He looked at Huang Lingling and smiled: "You protected them, right?"

Huang Lingling laughed and ran towards Chi Shen: "Yes, I want to go to the amusement park!"

"Okay." Chi Shen said, "Let's go to the amusement park."

Huang Lingling was halfway through her run when she suddenly remembered something. She waved to Chi Shen and said, "Wait for me."

She ran back to Xiao Yuan, who still held the dagger in his hand, but Huang Lingling jumped up and hugged him. She said sincerely, "Thank you for killing him, because only when he dies can the sun rise."
