Fortunately, the service area wasn't far away. After finding the general direction, I teleported there instantly.
In less than two minutes, lights and a large number of buildings appeared in front of us.
"Teleportation is faster than driving!"
Xia Tianqiong couldn't help but sigh, "Shadow Teleportation is really useful at night. You can teleport anywhere, even faster than driving."
It only costs a little bit of ghost money.
The Ghost Infant is currently at the Fierce Ghost level, and can teleport up to about fifty meters at a time. As the Ghost Infant levels up, the teleportation distance will increase.
If you could teleport hundreds of meters or even kilometers at once, that would be awesome.
Xia Tianqiong pondered this as she walked into the brightly lit service area.
It was already 7:30 pm, and the streets were bustling with traffic.
The Minggang service area is quite large, with standard amenities such as gas stations, supermarkets, and restrooms, as well as small shopping malls, hotels, and restaurants.
Xia Tianqiong randomly picked a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and sat there waiting for the food while thinking about her actions for tomorrow.
Suddenly, the conversation at the next table caught his attention.
"Was that a person or a ghost I just bumped into?"
"It's definitely not a person, otherwise why is there no blood or corpse?"
Xia Tianqiong turned her head and looked over. It seemed to be a middle-aged couple talking in hushed tones.
Just then, someone at another table looked at the couple and asked, "Did you also encounter strange things on the road?"
The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then asked, "You encountered a ghost too?"
"No, I saw four or five cars crashed together on the road, and there was blood everywhere, but there was no one inside."
"They've probably already been rescued?"
"Impossible. Police cars and ambulances were also parked at the scene, but there was no one there either."
The middle-aged man and his wife exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat flustered.
Xia Tianqiong listened from the side, realizing that he wasn't the only one encountering something strange tonight.
The arrival of strange phenomena in the human world is a gradual process. It starts by increasing, reaches a peak, then gradually decreases, and after a period of time, even more advanced strange phenomena will descend.
This also gave humanity a chance to breathe, enabling them to improve themselves through contracts with the supernatural and gradually gain the strength to fight against it.
Outside the restaurant, there is an open space.
Suddenly, a rectangular portal of light appeared, slowly opened, and a young man and a young woman walked out before the portal disappeared.
"A ghost!"
A car happened to stop nearby, and the driver was about to get out when he saw this scene. He was so frightened that he hurriedly drove away.
"I told you to find a secluded place to open the door, but you insisted on doing it here. Now look what happened, we got seen!"
Bai Jingjing, holding a small black, scraggly dog, complained to Bai Yichen beside her.
“The strange phenomena have descended on a large scale, and bizarre things are happening everywhere. We no longer need to worry about being seen like before.”
Bai Yichen looked around and soon fixed his gaze on Xia Tianqiong in the hotel through the glass window.
He took out his phone, found the photo, and compared them. "They look very similar, but the age is wrong. This one is too young."
Before they arrived, they had already investigated Xia Tianqiong's background and knew that he was a 25-year-old youth.
But she looks only eighteen years old now.
Bai Jingjing turned around and made the scruffy puppy face Xia Tianqiong's direction. "Brother Dog, take a look and see if he's the target we're looking for."
The scruffy puppy is only about half a meter long, like an ordinary farm dog, but its eyes are extremely bright and lively.
It lifted its head from Bai Jingjing's soft, warm chest, looked ahead, and suddenly uttered three words: "Xia Tianqiong!"
His voice wasn't loud, sounded like an old man's, and had a somewhat weathered quality.
Meanwhile, Xia Tianqiong looked around in the restaurant, sensing someone calling him.
Just like before, there was no sound, just a feeling.
"Could it be that the haunted bride has returned?"
I had this feeling before the appearance of the ghost bride.
Xia Tianqiong immediately tensed up, somewhat panicked, ready to teleport away at any moment.
Outside the restaurant, the scruffy little dog tucked its head back into Bai Jingjing's chest and uttered three more words: "It's him!"
The ability to accurately track them down was thanks to the trickery of the scruffy little dog.
Bai Jingjing and Bai Yichen exchanged a glance, both showing surprise and delight.
"He looks younger."
"This means he has extended his lifespan."
"In other words, the creature he contracted with is very likely the gambler from the Mirror Clan!"
At this point, the two turned to look at Xia Tianqiong again, as if they were looking at a precious treasure.
A greedy glint appeared in Bai Yichen's eyes. "If that's the case, then his value is too high. He must join my Bai family and be used by my Bai family."
Bai Jingjing was a little excited, "I also want to turn back into eighteen years old, let's go in and talk to him!"
"No, the people from the Administration said he has at least three supernatural entities under contract. It would be unwise for us to rush up and recruit them. Let's test his strength first, and then we can talk about other things."
Suddenly, a ragged old beggar emerged from Bai Yichen's body.
He walked slowly into the restaurant, bent over, leaning on a small bamboo stick, and carrying a chipped, broken bowl.
It ignored everyone else and walked straight toward Xia Tianqiong, seemingly invisible to the others.
