Putting everything else aside, being able to live in this gloomy Kangcheng is practically the Nightmare Beast's lifelong dream.
But it doesn't matter. As long as it has a day to build up its strength, it is confident that it can take down all the ghosts with Li Yu when it unleashes the curse tomorrow!
Upon hearing the Nightmare Beast's obstruction, Li Yu paused in his actions.
He also knew that simply killing all the ghosts in front of him would not allow him to directly obtain the special energy within those ghosts' bodies.
Li Yu's gaze swept across the distance, where the image of ghosts still climbing towards the monument remained.
He must investigate everything thoroughly before he can gain the approval of some of the ghosts and obtain the special energy that allows him to break through level restrictions.
Seeing the numerous ghosts continuing to attack, Li Yu hesitated for a moment, then pushed off with his feet and quickly retreated. In a few flashes, he completely escaped the range of the white mist and reappeared in front of Chen Hai and the others.
Taking advantage of the fact that Li Yu had attracted the attention of a large number of ghosts, the yellowish-brown ghost took the opportunity to leave.
The presence of the living vanished, and the lowly ghosts, having lost their purpose, looked around blankly. They were quickly captured by the invisible, eerie attraction emanating from the top of the monument, and transformed back into a black tide, roaring and shoving, beginning their desperate and frantic climb once more.
Chen Hai watched as Li Yu emerged effortlessly from the mist, completely unharmed and even exuding a deeper aura. His heart churned with turmoil before he finally recovered from his astonishment.
He could see that Li Yu was fully capable of suppressing this strange ghost, even more so than the purification team sent by the authorities. But for some reason, Li Yu stopped at the most crucial moment.
Otherwise, given the strength Li Yu displayed just now, he would have been fully capable of going deeper and even... completely eradicating this strange area!
Chen Hai was absolutely certain of this from the moment Li Yu gained the upper hand.
Several answers immediately popped into Chen Hai's mind regarding why Li Yu stopped.
Although he was sent to such a remote place to guard an empty city, far from the core, Chen Hai was still well-versed in various unspoken rules and secret passages.
A cold, realistic thought emerged:
'Could it be that Li Yu wants to make some demands? Or gain some benefit?'
Chen Hai shook his head slightly. Considering the weapons and resources of the seven regiments behind Li Yu, he really couldn't think of anything Li Yu might lack.
'Or perhaps... Li Yu treats all the ghosts as a resource? Wants to harvest them sustainably?' This thought sent a chill down Chen Hai's spine.
If that's the case, I'm afraid the visitor isn't up to any good.
The look in Chen Hai's eyes as he looked at Li Yu revealed not only awe of her strength, but also a deep, unspeakable fear.
The methods and purposes of this hero from Central Plains seem to be more unfathomable and more dangerous than he imagined!
At this moment, the mental awakeners who came to help also recognized Li Yu.
No wonder he has such terrifying suppressive power and such formidable strength; it turns out he is Li Yu.
That explains everything.
Several people stepped forward to greet Li Yu, their eyes filled with excitement and respect.
"It's Li Yu!"
"I've long admired your name! It's a great honor to meet you today."
Nowadays, there aren't many people like Li Yu who travel all over the country to help those in distress.
They never expected that the renowned Li Yu would come to Kangcheng and even help resolve the Ghost's crisis.
If Li Yu can really solve Kangcheng's problems, then the future of this ghost town will definitely soar to new heights!
Faced with their enthusiasm, Li Yu could only smile and nod in response.
Looking at Chen Hai, who was hesitating in place, Li Yu didn't know what he was thinking, but she still stepped forward and said:
"Director Chen, let's call it a day." Li Yu's voice was calm and even. "This place is dangerous. For safety reasons, we can't rush to eliminate it."
"We need to stay in Cannes for a while, and we hope you can make arrangements."
Chen Hai snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "Of course, please feel free to stay. It's an honor for Kangcheng to host Commander Li Yu."
"please."
After agreeing, Chen Hai immediately led everyone away from the area and quickly arranged accommodations for the Seventh Regiment in the city center.
Seeing some mutated plants that survived the rain in the city, the members of the Seventh Regiment were secretly amazed.
When everyone entered their assigned rooms in Cannes, they were amazed by the top-notch facilities and furnishings.
"This place is amazing! How can it be a ghost town?" someone couldn't help but ask curiously.
“Yeah, if I hadn’t been with the team leader, I would have crawled all the way to Kangcheng.” Someone chimed in.
Night falls.
In the deep of night, a faint mist suddenly began to spread, almost enveloping the entire city of Kangcheng.
The city's sparse lights flickered like will-o'-the-wisps in the mist.
A chilling aura lingered around the sparsely populated buildings, and the limited amount of yang energy was barely enough to suppress the large number of ghosts.
Just then, the Nightmare Beast, which had been claiming it needed rest, suddenly opened its black, hole-like eyes, its gaze flashing with a chilling light, and slowly spoke:
"Li Yu, I'm ready."
Li Yu seemed to have been prepared, and with a flash, she appeared on the streets of Kangcheng outside.
He looked up at the center where the fog was thickest, which was where the Cannes Monument had been during the day.
When Li Yu returned to the monument, she discovered that the yellowish-brown ghost that had escaped during the day had reappeared.
It still stands beneath the monument, preventing other ghosts from climbing it.
This unusual behavior made it seem out of place among other ghosts.
