Chapter 249 You Can't Help It



"Ghost?"

On the other side, Starscream was holding a gun, looking at the person next to him puzzledly.

Standing next to her was a girl who looked not much older than her.

"Yes, a ghost," the girl said, "It's a rural legend that says a person killed by a tiger will become the tiger's slave and continue to help it harm people."

"This paradise is actually very similar to this kind of relationship in a way. Humans hand over their existence as currency, and once they lose it all, they will become ghosts in this paradise. At the same time, they have no way to return to human society after losing their existence. If they want to get out of this predicament, the only thing they can do is..."

Looking at the Red Spider next to her, the girl pursed her lips and lowered her voice: "Fight the challenger and win!"

"Paradise said that the victor can get everything here. This doesn't mean that wishes can be fulfilled, but it literally means... 'everything'!"

The girl subconsciously pressed her waist, where there was an exquisite black pistol: "Once the person who stays in the paradise defeats the challenger in some way, that is, in the game, it will be able to obtain that person's existence. In other words, it will replace that person and change from a 'ghost' to that person..."

In short, if the people who enter the park lose all their existence, they will be forced to stay in the park and can never leave again. If they want to leave the park again, they must go through facilities like the "carousel" and fight with newcomers. If those who stay in the park win, then they can replace the losers!

Red Spider probably understood: "So what you mean is that you are a ghost?"

As she said this, she turned her head and glanced at the girl in front of her.

The girl was a little amused by Red Spider's gaze: "How is that possible! You 'won' me, not you who lost to me."

"However, I can be sure that there are indeed 'ghosts' in this paradise, and there are more than one!"

The girl said seriously, "Because before that, before you came, we encountered the 'ghost'! If it weren't for that guy, we wouldn't have fallen so quickly."

All right.

Starscream rolled his eyes.

She actually doesn't care much about whether it's a "ghost" or not.

According to her logic, if a monster really appeared, she would just smash it with one punch.

If Bai Ling hadn't warned her to act harmless and not reveal her true nature, the Aomori Theme Park would have been bombarded several times by heavy weapons.

However, in the spirit of listening to the joke, Starscream still asked casually: "So who is your 'accomplice'?"

Who is...

The girl smiled bitterly: "He is the one in charge of reconnaissance in our team."

"His reconnaissance is rarely wrong, but for some reason, maybe because this theme park is too special, that person's reconnaissance didn't work here. Maybe at some point we didn't notice, he was replaced, and the 'ghost' got into his body..."

"Then, because of him, we repeatedly hit dead ends. For various reasons, most of the original team members were replaced. Many people died directly, and in the end, I was the only one left."

The girl took out the black pistol and gently stroked the gun. "Of course, it's mainly my fault. If I hadn't been a little proud, if I had been able to find out that something was wrong with that person earlier, if it hadn't been because..."

"If he hadn't disappeared, we wouldn't have had any problems with intelligence..."

The girl murmured to herself.

The Red Spider next to her didn't understand what she said.

She just said impatiently: "Let's go, that...Li Jingwen?"

The girl whose name she called had her eyes flickering for a moment.

After a while, she gave a bitter smile and put the pistol back to her waist.

"Here we go," she hurried after Starscream, "Where are you going next?"

Starscream thought for a moment, then said, "Let's keep going. My...brother (Starscream's expression when he said this was as if he had eaten a fly alive), he's still looking for me, and I have to...look for him too!"

When it came to the last few words, Red Spider's voice almost sounded like it was squeezed out from between his teeth.

However, Li Jingwen just thought that Red Spider missed his brother very much.

She couldn't help but sigh: "Brother? I had someone similar to a brother before, but he betrayed me. I also have many sisters, but one left. I also have... someone similar to a teacher."

Having said this, Li Jingwen fell silent.

Starscream didn't care and just continued walking forward aimlessly.

"That prophet is so annoying," she muttered as she walked. "How long are we going to stay here? Can't we just rush over? I don't know why he is so hesitant..."

Tsk, the fragile girl is my weakness.

After taking a look at Li Jingwen, who seemed weak but had a strong look in her eyes, and then looking at her own pleated skirt which was stained with some stains, Red Spider couldn't help but smack his lips.

“…It’s a bit annoying.”

Li Jingwen: “?” ——And on the other side.

Bai Ling tilted his head and looked at Xu Zhongxing in front of him.

"That's right, 'accomplice ghost'," he said calmly, "an evil ghost that was killed by a tiger and stayed in the mountains to continue to help the tiger harm people."

"No matter what language you use to describe it, it's basically the same in the end. It's a monster that has lost its original meaning and is willing to sacrifice everything just to stay alive."

He said: "The ghosts will help the tigers devour humans. In essence, they are the tigers' accomplices. But before they are completely exposed, they try their best to disguise themselves as real humans. Oh, it can even be said that they are real humans. After all, those who can become ghosts must be those who have harmed others and seized their existence."

Xu Zhongxing couldn't help but frowned: "What do you want to say?"

What do you want to say?

Bai Ling smiled.

Then he took out a knife from his pocket, and the snow-white blade drew an arc in the mist like moonlight!

The knife was directly in front of Xiao Liu, and Bai Ling's expressionless face was reflected on the blade: "Isn't this natural?"

"Of course I took action to... eliminate those evil spirits that have infiltrated the human community!"

What the hell?! Xu Zhongxing and Xiao Liu both stared at Bai Ling's actions in a daze.

Xu Zhongxing reacted the fastest: "Wait, Bai Ling!"

He stretched out his hand and tried to press on Bai Ling's arm: "What on earth do you want to do?!"

Xiao Liu on the other side turned pale, not sure if he was frightened or for some other reason: "I... Captain... I..."

As the instigator of this incident, Bai Ling swung his knife at Xu Zhongxing without hesitation, forcing him to take a step back! "Don't stop me," Bai Ling said indifferently, "We have been wandering here until now because of this guy's obstruction!"

"I was watching you guys before, and when I passed by this place again, I noticed this guy was throwing something on the ground. In a park where almost no one can reach, isn't it suspicious that you are doing these things on the ground?"

"I have reason to suspect that you are tipping off Paradise or someone else. As a result, we have been going around in circles!"

Hearing this, Xu Zhongxing breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Bai Ling, then at Xiao Liu who was caught off guard, and couldn't help but reach out and gently press on Bai Ling's arm.

"Mr. Bai," he changed his address, "It's no wonder you find it strange. In fact, Xiao Liu didn't do this to inform Paradise..."

Xu Zhongxing considered his words carefully, and finally said, "Mr. Bai is from China, so he probably knows about the many special events that have occurred in China recently, right?"

Listening to his words, Bai Ling's face remained unchanged, and he just looked at him with his eyes slanted.

Xu Zhongxing patiently explained, "In fact, we are the ones who are responsible for handling similar incidents. We came here to rescue our comrades. Xiao Liu's behavior just now was to mark the comrades who might come later. We were wrong not to inform Mr. Bai in advance."

As he spoke, he sighed, "It's mainly because this is our first meeting, and I can't completely trust your identity. I'm worried that you might be a monster. But now it seems that your determination to save your sister is very...strong, so you can basically be ruled out of the category of monster."

nonsense.

There is no way a monster would murder another child just to save his own sister.

Even Xu Zhongxing felt that the execution ability and obsession of this guy in front of him were, to some extent, more terrifying than monsters.

I always feel that his sister might be quite tired...

Thinking of this, Xu Zhongxing tried to dissuade her, saying, "I can prove that I have been with Xiao Liu for a while, and she will never become a 'ghost'. If she really is a ghost, then I should have been killed by her long ago since I was in the same team with her!"

And Xiao Liu also nodded.

Looking at the two men's confident expressions, Bai Ling lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

After a while, he put away the knife and said indifferently: "Then I guess I misunderstood something."

"It's just that I heard the kid on the carousel tell me that he was going to kill me and replace me, so I think that the creatures in the park might be able to replace other people."

Bai Ling said calmly: "In addition to the current atmosphere, it may be that I did overreact. I apologize to both of you."

Xu Zhongxing quickly waved his hands: "It's okay, it's okay, these are just small matters... huh?"

As if he suddenly remembered something, Xu Zhongxing turned his head and looked at Bai Ling.

"Wait, Mr. Bai," he said hesitantly, "You just said that the people in this paradise... can replace other people?"

I finally understand.

Bai Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But on the surface he still showed no emotion: "That's right."

"I heard this from the child himself, there's no doubt about it," he said with certainty.

Xu Zhongxing fell into deep thought.

Not long after, his expression gradually began to change.

"Damn it!" he whispered, "We've been tricked!"

"That scout has probably been replaced," Xu Zhongxing said with a look of annoyance, "otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to enter the paradise so easily."

"I was wondering, there should have been people from the Countermeasures Bureau around us, but how come they disappeared in the blink of an eye? I'm afraid one of our people was replaced right from the start!"

Looking at Xu Zhongxing's face, Xiao Liu seemed to have remembered something. "Yes, I also feel a little strange. A friend of mine seems to have suddenly behaved differently recently. I originally thought that she was frustrated after returning from a mission, but now it seems...she has been replaced?!"

Looking at the two people confirming each other, Bai Ling sneered in his heart.

The park is really fun.

Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that all the people in Yanzhou City Countermeasures Bureau have been replaced by him.

I have to say that this guy's ability to take action is quite amazing. He replaced a lot of people in just half a month of opening the theme park.

Now wake up Xu Zhongxing and Xiao Liu, and when they go back, let them find out who has been replaced.

Because he was unfamiliar with the other people, it was difficult for Bering to use his ability to predict the future to recognize who was replaced. After all, the replaced person was almost the same as the original person except for the change in personality.

Therefore, this kind of thing should be handled by someone who is familiar with the victim.

This is the best that Bering can do. He is only a prophet, not omniscient.

Thinking of this, Bai Ling looked towards a corner to his side with a dark look in his eyes.

"Just watching the surveillance camera is not enough, and now you want to come to investigate in person?" Bai Ling thought, "No, given the cautious nature of Le Yuan, I'm afraid he won't come in person. So, is this also the characteristic of the Chaos Mist? Clone?"

interesting.

The corners of Bai Ling's mouth curled up slightly.

While Xu Zhongxing and Xiao Liu were thinking, Bai Ling said calmly: "Keep going, everyone."

"If both of you are fine, then I'm afraid... the one with the problem here is someone hiding somewhere!"

Paradise wanted to join in through his clone and become part of his own viewing experience?

Then Bai Ling wanted to see if his spirit and his clone were really one and the same! Even Zou Ye would be hinted by Bai Ling with the Tyrant King Ring because of his puppet clone, and it would be directly engraved in the depths of his original soul.

How long can your paradise last?

Thinking of this, the smile on Bai Ling's face became even more intense.

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

After counting down ten seconds.

Soon, a timid voice sounded behind them.

“That…that!”

really.

You still can't help it.

Bai Ling turned his head and thought so in his heart.
