Chapter 108 Madness and Chaos
Although Ding An was standing behind, Rong Yi still noticed the subtle movement and turned around to find him pale-faced. "What's wrong with you?"
Ding An took a breath and said, "Hearing their voices made my heart pound; it was painful."
His heart, which had been pumping blood, rose and fell with the voices of his followers, but the rhythm of his heartbeat had ceased.
After saying this, Ding An's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
Wei Yanqing immediately controlled the air around him, maintaining air circulation while blocking the transmission of sound waves from the believers.
Unable to hear the voices of the believers, Ding An's complexion immediately improved, and his erratic heartbeat quickly returned to normal. He gasped for breath, "Thank you, I feel much better now."
"You're welcome." Wei Yanqing handed him an earplug. "Wear these. When the Ghost King comes, we won't be able to take care of you. Find a place to hide."
Ding An took it and put it in his ear. He didn't know what brand it was, but the moment he put it on, he couldn't hear any sound, including the voices of Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing talking.
Rong Yi realized that he couldn't hear anything, so he started gesturing with his hands, indicating that he needed to find a place to hide.
She knew that the product Wei Yanqing gave her must have been bought in Obsidian City.
As the believers fell silent, the area fell into complete stillness; even the sound of the wind ceased.
The next second, they both sensed something appearing behind them.
Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing turned around at the same time, and then their gazes shifted downwards. They saw a balding fat man, just over a meter tall, floating behind them, his eyes filled with lewdness as he looked at Rong Yi.
Wei Yanqing put his hands behind his back and said, "It's yours."
The little fat boy is asking for death for looking at Rong Yi like that.
Rong Yi put away his gun, tilted his head, and made a clicking sound.
The short, fat ghost king grinned, revealing his yellow teeth. "I heard about what you two living people were up to yesterday, and I didn't expect you to come here today. But too bad, I'm much more powerful than that old hag Jin Ning."
Rong Yi raised her leg as if to kick the short, fat man, but the man was asking for trouble by trying to grab her leg.
Unexpectedly, Rong Yi changed his leg movement. He bent his lower leg, which was about to kick out, and kicked with the instep facing down, taking the opponent by surprise.
The short, fat man was stunned by the kick, then remembered that Rong Yi's touch would give him a physical form.
After being kicked, the short, fat ghost king flashed and tried to float into the air. Rong Yi saw its intention, turned around, took a few steps, and then leaped up from the sacrificial platform, successfully grabbing the short, fat man's leg.
The short, fat man materialized, and the two landed together, one human and one ghost. Rong Yi used the force to slam him hard into the ground.
Crack! The floor tile shattered.
The short, fat man realized how difficult Rong Yi was to deal with, and immediately let out a shrill cry, summoning all his subordinates over.
The next second, a fist smashed into its mouth, silencing it completely.
Then Rong Yi grabbed its leg and slammed it back and forth like a rag, until the short, fat man was dizzy and disoriented.
The believers saw that the omnipotent Ghost King in their hearts was powerless against Rong Yi.
Soon, the subordinates summoned by the Ghost King arrived at the scene, floating out from underground one by one.
Seeing this, Wei Yanqing finally went from watching the show with his hands behind his back to controlling hundreds of little ghosts on the field. So many ghosts were frozen in place as if time had stopped, and the scene was incredibly shocking.
Ding An watched in disbelief from the shadows, completely unaware that someone was approaching from behind.
While he was concentrating, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder. "Ahhhhhh—!" Ding An screamed in fright, startling the person who had patted his shoulder.
Looking back, he saw several living people in combat uniforms. Ding An breathed a sigh of relief. The people were still talking, but he couldn't hear a single syllable.
Ding An took off his earplugs and finally heard their voices.
Can you hear me?
"Why isn't there any response?"
"He might be deaf."
"I'm not deaf." Ding An put his earplugs away. "Who are you?"
The girl standing in the middle of the group had short hair. She smiled and replied to Ding An's question, "We are the same kind of people as those two."
The girl pointed to Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing, who were fighting off the ghosts.
Although the Resistance Alliance to which Ding An belonged had limited capabilities, it was aware of some of the more prominent anomalies, and as a member of it, he naturally knew about these things.
These suddenly appearing beings, capable of dealing with ghosts, must have secrets, and their origins are extremely suspicious. Some members of the alliance speculate that they are from a parallel world.
Otherwise, the extraordinary abilities of these people cannot be explained.

Seeing that the short, fat Ghost King's subordinates had all arrived, Rong Yi naturally wanted the Ghost Crystal, but he couldn't kill the Ghost King.
Thinking of this, Rong Yi took out the Canglan Dagger. As soon as the dagger appeared, the short, fat man lost his previous composure, and his terrified screams pierced Rong Yi's ears.
She plunged the dagger into the short, fat man's leg with all her might, the blade embedding itself deeply into the concrete.
With the dagger wound, the short, fat man felt as if he were being burned by flames; he wanted to touch his leg but dared not get close.
"Who are you?!" it shouted.
Rong Yi stood up and said disdainfully, "Your divine punishment."
Five words stunned the short, fat man: "Divine punishment..." He slowly looked up at the sky, then burst into maniacal laughter: "Divine punishment, hahahaha!"
Rong Yi ignored it and drew his twin pistols to start killing the little devils.
Wei Yanqing built an invisible wall around the group of ghosts. They could move, but they could not escape from here.
Encirclement and annihilation of a group of first and second-tier demons was a simple matter for them.
The short, fat man had nearly a hundred more subordinates than Jin Ning Ghost King, and now they've all benefited.
More than 600 ghost crystals covered the ground, making a few players nearby envious. They had only managed to collect a few ghost crystals, which was nothing compared to the hundreds they had collected.
After distributing the ghost crystals, Wei Yanqing looked at their location and asked, "Aren't you coming out?"
Rong Yi then walked over to the short, fat man and kicked it, which looked like a stray dog.
Several players then appeared, and the short-haired woman in the lead greeted them with a smile, "Hello, we are a team. We were originally planning to hijack the sacrificial site, but we didn't expect you to arrive first."
Having just absorbed over six hundred souls, Wei Yanqing was languid with a satisfied air. "Alright, the rest of you can do whatever you want. The cameras are still rolling, and I don't know if the program has been cut."
The man next to the short-haired woman showed her his phone screen, saying, "It was just cut off a short while ago." The screen displayed a message indicating that the program had been interrupted.
At this moment, Rong Yi walked over. The more than three hundred ghost crystals she had just acquired made her feel happy and cheerful. She said to Wei Yanqing, "Where's the cage? Lock this thing up first."
Wei Yanqing left with a "do as you please" message and then went to deal with the short, fat man with Rong Yi.
Players from different teams should at most nod to each other, and it's best not to have too much contact if their interests aren't aligned.
Several players had witnessed the two men's strength, so they naturally had no intention of stealing the ghost crystals. Instead, they began negotiating with Ding An, hoping to obtain information from the rebellious natives.
The short, fat man was dragged by Rong Yi and stuffed into the iron cage. The high-voltage current created a powerful pressure, forcing the Ghost King, who was naturally afraid of electricity, to shrink in the center of the cage.
Only when he heard the car start did Ding An snap out of his conversation with the other players and instinctively wave his hand, calling out, "Wait!"
Ke Rongyi and Wei Yanqing didn't plan to take him along. The matter had been resolved, and there were still a few players at the scene. It was time to return to Baozhai District.
