Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 229: Unstoppable terror

Ye Feng immediately regretted walking into this unknown alley.

Because as soon as he entered, his shroud immediately shrank, sticking tightly to his skin, as if sensing fear.

He understood that it wasn't the shroud that was afraid, but a reaction to a similar kind.

There must be ghosts in this alley.

Ye Feng turned around again and indeed, just as he had thought, the road behind him disappeared. Instead, there was a dense dark green, like an abyss that oppressed people's breathing, forcing them to continue forward.

"That Zhao Kaiming is a criminal detective in Dachang City. He must have knowledge of all the supernatural events in the city. The three of us came here to patrol and encountered a ghost immediately. This is definitely not a coincidence... Zhao Kaiming intentionally led me and He Chuan here."

"Is he trying to use me as a scapegoat? Because I refused his proposal to join forces against Yang Jian?"

"No, it's impossible. The current conflict is not with Yang Jian, but with this large-scale supernatural event that envelops the entire city. Zhao Kaiming has no reason to fight against me at this time, unless he has another hidden agenda."

Ye Feng was not panicked. Although he was nervous, he still analyzed the situation rationally.

"Regardless, I need to leave this place first. The longer I stay here, the more uneasy I become."

Ye Feng quickened his pace and could only grit his teeth and cross the alley.

The alley was just an ordinary city street, with various shops and convenience stores on both sides. However, at this moment, all the shops were tightly closed, and there was no one on the street, not even the streetlights were on.

There was nothing strange about this familiar street, but in Ye Feng's eyes, it seemed eerie everywhere.

Because he had already walked for at least ten minutes, and at his speed, he should have left this street long ago. However, he was still trapped here, unable to find a way out.

"Could this be the Ghost Domain? Just as annoying as that Yang Jian." Suddenly, Ye Feng stopped in his tracks. He felt that there was no need to continue walking.

If he was really trapped in the Ghost Domain, walking would not get him out.

He needed to use some special methods.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Feng gritted his teeth and lifted a corner of his shroud. His pale skin was covered in scars, all of them bloody bite marks, as if something had been continuously tearing and biting at him day and night.

A pair of strange teeth grew on his body, which was completely unreasonable.

These teeth were sharp and black, emitting a rotten stench. At this moment, they were wriggling on his body as if they were alive.

However, when Ye Feng tried to bite open the Ghost Domain as he had done before, he suddenly discovered that his ability had failed.

It wasn't that his ability had failed, but rather that he was not inside the Ghost Domain.

"How is this possible? How can this be?" Ye Feng was shocked.

This place was not the Ghost Domain?

His last reliance had failed, which made him start to panic.

As a ghost tamer who had tamed two ghosts, he could fearlessly face other ghost tamers, but he still had an extreme fear of real ghosts.

The shroud could protect him, but it wouldn't last long. When the time came, he would die under the shroud and become a ghost wearing a shroud.

"I must find a way out."

Sweat dripped down Ye Feng's forehead as he continued to move forward. He looked around, trying to find something unusual.

However, because he was walking too quickly and the sky was too dark, it seemed that he tripped over something and almost fell.

"What is this?" He quickly shone his light on it.

In the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted. A bloody, incomplete head, with only half of it remaining, rolled to the side after being kicked by him.

The head looked as if it had been gnawed on, with flesh and blood mangled and unrecognizable.

"Whose head is this?" Ye Feng furrowed his brows deeply.

Others would be afraid of such a corpse, but he was not. Compared to ghosts, these motionless corpses were as cute as little girls. So, he even dared to walk over and shine his light on the facial features of the head, trying to identify it.

But when he approached and saw the remaining facial features of the half head clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The appearance on this head... was He Chuan's?

There was no mistake, it was the He Chuan who had disappeared from his side before.

"This is impossible. He is also a ghost tamer. Even if he encounters a ghost, there is no reason for him to die so quickly. Even a lazy toad would struggle a bit before dying."

Ye Feng doubted whether he had seen it wrong and reached out to touch it, wanting to feel the temperature of the head.

If it really was He Chuan's head, then it hadn't been dead for long, and the head would still be warm.

However, when he reached out, a dark green little arm suddenly stretched out from somewhere, grabbing the head before him.

"Hmm?"

Ye Feng's face changed drastically, and he quickly retreated several steps.

At this moment, he saw a small child with a dark green body and hollow eye sockets holding He Chuan's incomplete head at the entrance of a shop.

"A ghost infant, the second stage of a ghost infant."

This information immediately flashed through his mind.

Professor Wang's speculation was correct. Ghost infants had already been born in this city, and these ghostly things had been hiding in various corners of the city, only to erupt completely now.

"There's no need to bother with this ghostly thing. My top priority now is to find a way to leave this place."

Ye Feng's mind was clear, and he slowly retreated, not provoking the ghost infant.

Unless the ghost infant took the initiative to provoke him.The ghost infant holding He Chuan's broken head just tilted its head and looked at Ye Feng, without taking any action.

However, the eeriness revealed from its pitch-black, hollow eye sockets was enough to send chills down one's spine.

It was unclear whether this ghostly creature had eyes or not, or whether it could see him.

"Is it not targeting me? Or is the shroud on me protecting me again?" Ye Feng thought to himself. But the next moment, his body stiffened, and a chill enveloped him.

"Crash~!"

"Bang~!"

Various sounds suddenly came from the tightly closed shops nearby, as if the doors were being beaten, and something was trying to come out.

One shop was like this, so were two, three, four... all the shops were the same.

Ye Feng stood alone in this deserted, dim alley. He couldn't leave, nor could he escape. He could only look around in fear at the shops from where the noises were coming, like a headless fly.

Suddenly, the door of one shop finally opened.

A greenish-black figure walked out from inside.

"A third-stage ghost infant?" Cold sweat covered Ye Feng's forehead. He seemed to have inadvertently stumbled into a terrible place.

However, that was not all. As the figure slowly walked out, the doors of other shops also opened one after another.

Figures kept coming out of the shops. They were tall and short, male and female, and their appearances were all different.

The only similarity was their greenish-black skin, pitch-black hollow eyes, and they walked slowly like corpses that had been dead for many days.

All of these were fully grown ghost infants.

At this moment, all the ghosts had come to the street, making the originally deserted street somewhat crowded, but at the same time, the surrounding cold and darkness became even more profound.

"What a joke, where did so many come from?" Ye Feng felt his whole body trembling.

Nervousness, fear, trembling, all kinds of emotions surged up.

At this moment, he even felt despair. His usual arrogance and confidence were instantly lost.

Run~!

The only word in Ye Feng's mind was this.

Regardless of whether he could escape from this place, the first thing was to get away from these terrifying ghost infants.

However, no matter how he ran, the ghost infants that came out nearby gradually got closer and closer to him, as if the distance had never been extended.

He could only feel that the shroud on his body seemed to be gradually unable to protect him.

The bone-chilling coldness surged into his body from all directions, and the shoulder that had been slapped by something just now was becoming more and more painful. It felt as if something was grabbing his shoulder, causing not only severe pain but also seemed to drag his body, making it difficult for him to escape.

Finally, when the distance was close enough.

A greenish-black figure suddenly grabbed Ye Feng.

But the next moment, it quickly withdrew its hand.

Ye Feng looked in horror and found a vague palm print left on his ghost robe.

Before he could react, another hand reached out from nearby and grabbed him.

Similarly, it grabbed him and then quickly let go.

Another palm print appeared on his body.

He understood that the shroud on his body was still working, blocking the attacks of these ghost infants. If he wasn't wearing this robe, he would have died the first time he was attacked.

However, the ghosts nearby were gradually surging up, and the number was increasing, reaching a hair-raising level,

It seemed that the street was full.

Gradually, Ye Feng had no way to go, he was blocked in all directions.

The worst-case scenario had happened.

Ye Feng was surrounded by ghosts, tightly packed, with figures moving in the greenish-black haze. God knows how many ghosts this city has bred.

This was simply an unsolvable situation.

"Heh, hehe." Ye Feng stopped running, he stood in place and laughed bitterly.

There was no chance left.

Even he had encountered such an unsolvable situation, once these ghosts left here, it was only a matter of time before the entire city suffered a catastrophe.

The space left for him was getting smaller and smaller.

"Huh? What's that?"

Suddenly, Ye Feng saw something in the haze of moving figures, his face changed slightly, he quickly took out his phone and prepared to send a message. If there was any hope for him to survive, he could only wait for someone to rescue him.

A moment later, dense ghost shadows converged, flooding the place like a tide.

When the haze dissipated, the ghost infants hidden in the greenish-black aura were gone, but Ye Feng had also disappeared.

A trampled, battered phone was left on the ground.

The screen lit up with a faint light.

A message showed that it had been sent successfully.
