Chapter 456: Chapter 456: The Cat-and-Mouse Ga Where Humans and Ghosts Are Indistinguishable
Lucas Jennings, along with the other four boys, all looked expectantly at Scarlett Jennings, almost pitifully as if they had found a guardian.
The mont Lucas spoke, everyone present, including the livestream viewers, imdiately thought of “ghostly walls.”
After all, ghostly walls are quite common in supernatural stories.
Even Daniel Wright, a forr materialist, had heard of them.
“Sister, have we encountered ghostly walls?”
“Sister, I want to go ho.”
“Sister~”
The one speaking was the boy originally following Lucas, and now, all four boys were gathered around Scarlett Jennings, showing a rarely seen pitiful look and calling out “Sister” one after another.
Lucas’s face instantly darkened as he hurriedly reached out to push away the guys almost surrounding his sister, one by one.
“Don’t surround her, nobody surround her! Listen to my sister’s arrangent!”
Who were they calling “Sister”?
This is my sister!
Mine!
Scarlett Jennings, seeing the unease in the boys’ eyes, only explained,
“This isn’t a ghostly wall.”
If it were a ghostly wall, she would have noticed it right away. Besides, an ordinary ghostly wall wouldn’t trap Lucas.
Lucas carries her amulet, and if he were really to encounter a ghostly wall, the amulet would react imdiately.
The current situation was more like that ti…
Thinking of her earlier suspicions, Scarlett Jennings decisively took out a talisman, quickly forming a mantra as she flung the talisman into the air,
“Heavenly Dao is clear, Earthly Dao is peaceful, Human Dao is pure and serene, the three talents unite, Heaven and Earth converge, I issue the decree, break!”
With her command, the yellow talisman glowed with spiritual light, but in the next second, it was as if swallowed by the night sky, disappearing directly into the void.
Scarlett Jennings instinctively furrowed her brow.
Daniel and the others looked at the vanished talisman paper, full of confusion, wanting to ask what had happened.
Scarlett Jennings, however, had no ti to care for them, raising her hand and this ti directly deploying four yellow talismans.
The yellow talismans, as if pulled by a force, suddenly flew rapidly to four directions. Then Scarlett Jennings gave another command.
“Break!”
The four yellow talismans simultaneously lit up with spiritual light, the lights connecting and seemingly illuminating the night sky for a mont. However, soon, the four talismans were once again swallowed by darkness, leaving only scattered ashes drifting down.
Even Scarlett Jennings this ti couldn’t help but show a serious expression.
“What’s happening?”
Alicia Sharp, knowing Scarlett Jennings’ abilities, saw her use five talismans without effect and, noticing Scarlett’s expression, couldn’t help but beco nervous.
Scarlett Jennings looked at the group before her without hiding the situation,
“We might have been pulled into a ghost realm.”
Just like when Dashiell Xalvadora was pulled into the Mirror Realm, that was also a ghost realm created by a ferocious fiend.
The difference is, the ghost realm they are in now is clearly much more powerful than that one.
According to what Lucas and the others just said, this ghost realm at least covers the entire area of Cloud Sea Park.
For soone capable of creating such a vast ghost realm and pulling her into it silently, not even leaking a bit of evil qi,
it’s likely this ghost realm’s master is more troubleso than any she has encountered before.
Even more troubleso than the Evil God System.
“Wh-what ghost realm? Aren’t we still in the park? Are you saying there are ghosts in this park?”
Alicia Sharp couldn’t help but ask.
Seeing everyone filled with unease, Scarlett Jennings simply explained,
“It’s not that there are ghosts in the park, but rather we have all been pulled into another world created by a ghost, a world that has been perfectly replicated to look like Cloud Sea Park.”
“Why?”
Lucas almost instinctively asked in return.
What kind of ghost is so bored, creating such a big ghost realm park just to trap them?
“Probably because… it likes to play cat-and-mouse gas.”
Lucas couldn’t believe it, “But we withdrew!”
The other four boys echoed him.
Yes, indeed.
They had all withdrawn.
Their wristbands were forcibly removed.
“You all registered before.” Daniel Wright interjected, voicing his reasonable suspicion.
The five boys imdiately looked as if they had eaten sothing bitter.
This is just too unlucky.
They left, and now they’re being forced back to participate??
Scarlett Jennings seed to share this suspicion. She turned to Daniel and asked again,
“You said earlier, the number of missing persons is currently seventeen. Is it possible that there are more missing persons you haven’t discovered?”
Daniel replied,
“Within the city, all who participated in the cat-and-mouse ga and went missing, there are confird to be seventeen. I haven’t accounted for those missing without clear cause or cases in other cities.”
Listening to Daniel’s words, Scarlett Jennings’ expression beca increasingly serious.
“If that’s the case, things might get more troubleso.”
“What do you an?” Daniel asked.
Scarlett Jennings then showed the map display of the cat-and-mouse page to everyone.
“Tonight, there are eighty players in total. Assuming the seventeen missing were also pulled into this ghost realm, adding Lucas and the others, that makes 102 in total. How many players do you think are online on this map?”
The group followed her words, looking at the screen on her phone, seeing many dense icons.
Though hard to count at a glance, it clearly wasn’t the eighty-two shown for the team.
It far exceeded 102.
Perhaps to answer Scarlett Jennings’ question, they all saw the number of teams on the screen rapidly rising before their eyes, finally stopping at 156.
“156?! How could there be so many people? Are these… all people?”
The caraman couldn’t help but express his shock, and at that mont, even Lucas’s group, including Alicia Sharp, seed startled.
Not just because they suspected these extras weren’t human, but also because…
“Wh-what are you?! When did you get here?”
Lucas shrieked, taking a big step back with his companions while pulling out his protective jade token, aiming at the caraman, also calling to Scarlett Jennings,
“Sis! There’s a ghost! It’s a ghost!”
The caraman: ???
Scarlett Jennings: …
Seeing they misunderstood, Scarlett Jennings had to explain about concealing the caraman’s presence.
While speaking, a doubt suddenly crossed her mind.
If Lucas and his friends were left because they signed up, was the caraman pulled in because his presence was hidden by her?
Without thinking further, Scarlett Jennings turned to Lucas and his group, advising,
“The ga ti is nine-thirty, but the ghost realm ti isn’t the sa as outside. Assuming the ghost realm exists because of this cat-and-mouse ga, the only way I can think of to leave is to end the ga.”
The cat catches all the mice, the cat wins.
If the cat fails to catch all the mice in the ti given, the Rat King wins.
“The only thing to note is… the players you et from now on, not all of them may be human.”
This one sentence sent chills down the spines of the young people present.
Unable to stop trembling slightly, and what shook them even more was Alicia Sharp’s next words, as she pointed to the map page in her hand, her voice slightly shaking,
“Sc-Scarlett, there are many cats… getting close to us.”
It seed like they were surrounded!!!
