Chapter 32: Chapter 28: Hello? Are you there?
“Then why didn’t you say it earlier? You had to beat around the bush.”
Chen Guangxi looked skeptical, sensing ulterior motives from the director.
“I wanted to tell you directly, but I couldn’t.”
The director said, looking troubled, “It’s like a tug-of-war between the demonic tree and
over the control of the amusent castle. I can’t kill it, and it can’t kill . I can suppress it, but it can also influence .
Only in the office can I minimize its influence and focus on suppressing it.
Earlier, to warn you, I had to leave the office, and that thing took advantage of it.”
As the director spoke, he pulled a phone out of the pocket of his costu, turned on the screen, and pushed it forward on the desk.
Gu Honggao looked down and frowned slightly – the screen displayed an advertisent for the opening of the Ghost Amusent Park!
“It took the opportunity to release this ad, which only ghosts can receive. There are currently nearly two hundred replies.
Look for yourselves.”
The director scrolled the screen, showing the comnts section to everyone.
The group curiously gathered around.
“First ti I’ve heard of an amusent park for ghosts. Is it a Control Bureau trap, byd?”
“Happy Castle? I rember this park. I visited a few tis before I died. It was pretty good. It seems to have beco abnormal. Anyone want to team up? Bring so fierce ghosts, be careful of Control Bureau traps.”
“Hungry… so hungry…”
“Is there anyone to eat inside?”
“Hehe, I want to play! I want to play!”
“Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!!!!”
“Am I beautiful? Am I beautiful? Am I beautiful?”
“Who are you?”
“….”
How co there’s a comnts section? Zhou Yuan was shocked. When he viewed it on his Opple smartphone, there weren’t any comnts.
“How co you have comnts?” Chen Guangxi directly asked.
“Huh?” The director looked at her confused, “What do you an by ‘my side’? You haven’t seen the ad before?”
“No, we have so special thods, you understand.”
“Understood.”
The director didn’t ask more and explained, “I have an administrator account, so I can see the comnts.
Alright, let’s get back to business.
The demonic tree is suppressed by
and can’t directly kill you, so it wants to use this thod to kill you indirectly.
The external ghosts are not under my control, and so of them are terrifying. Once they co in, you will be like lambs among wolves, calling for heaven and earth to no avail.”
He then looked aningfully at Zhou Yuan again.
“I thought you were all dood, but I didn’t expect you to help them pass three stages in one night. It’s incredible.”
“Maybe I just got lucky,” Zhou Yuan said modestly.
The director neither confird nor denied it and turned to Gu Honggao, knowing he was the leader:
“So, have you thought it over?”
Gu Honggao nodded, “We need detailed information on that demonic tree.”
This matter required no consideration because they had to destroy the demonic tree to get out.
“No problem, but first, do you have any explosives?” the director asked.
“Yes, is a micro nuclear warhead enough?”
Chen Guangxi made a shocking statent.
What?!
Zhou Yuan beside her widened his eyes in shock and nearly cried out.
A micro nuclear warhead?
Why are you carrying sothing like that with you!!
“Uh…that’s not necessary. Sothing more normal will do.” The director wiped nonexistent sweat and could only marvel at the Mobile Task Force of the Control Bureau. They really had so serious gear on hand.
This micro nuclear warhead was probably for mutually assured destruction scenarios for the Mobile Task Force.
And she must have said it to intimidate him and prevent betrayal.
“We also have normal ones, with plenty of firepower.”
“Then use the normal ones. I’ll suppress the demonic tree with all my might to give you ti to place the explosives.”
The director sighed in relief and said slowly, “The demonic tree fears flas and anything that restrains demons and ghosts. If any of you are extraordinary people like Taoists, Onmyoji, or priests, it shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with.”
“Afraid of fire, huh…” Chen Guangxi grinned.
“That makes things easier.”
“The demonic tree has two attack thods. One is using branches and vines to attack, and the other is using massive negative emotions for ntal attacks. I’ll help block the latter.
Besides that, it can control so of the fierce ghosts in the park. That will be up to you. I need to suppress it and fend off ntal attacks, which requires my full attention.”
“How strong is it?” Gu Honggao asked again.
“Under my suppression, about…as strong as him.” The director pointed to one of the team mbers.
The investigator was a Tier 3 extraordinary person.
“But if I release the suppression, it will beco stronger than you,” the director said, looking at Chen Guangxi again.
“Then, don’t you dare release the suppression.”
“Don’t worry. Only one of us is leaving alive.” Hatred flickered in the director’s eyes.
Everything was ruined by that damn tree.
This was a hatred that could never be reconciled.
Gu Honggao nodded and said solemnly, “Let us see that tree.”
“Ha…it’s actually been right under your nose this whole ti.”
The director laughed, walked to the window, and dramatically pulled open the curtains, revealing the true sight.
Outside.
A massive, pitch-black demonic tree towered over the amusent park.
Resentnt, hatred, jealousy, anger, sorrow, pain, murderous intent, fear, madness, despair…countless negative emotions entwined around the tree, forming a swirling black demonic qi.
Its canopy was like a dark umbrella covering the entire park, bringing endless darkness. Faces moved along the colossal trunk, screaming, wailing, crying, glaring with savage eyes.
Roaring, howling, crying, screaming…mysterious sounds echoed in everyone’s ears, piercing their souls, making their scalps tingle and filling them with an eerie chill as if they had fallen into an ice cavern.
[This is a filthy creature called the “Six Desires Heavenly Demon Tree.” Despite how robust it looks now, it’s still just a sapling. Yet, even so, it possesses a power you cannot resist.]
Zhou Yuan silently swallowed. This Six Desires Heavenly Demon Tree must be two hundred ters tall, yet it’s still only a sapling?
How terrifying and sinister would its fully-grown form be?
“That direction…is that the Ferris wheel?” Gu Honggao noticed an anomaly; the tree’s location overlapped with the Ferris wheel.
“That’s right. The demonic tree has rged with the Ferris wheel, so the key to passing the levels lies in negative emotions. It’s a deliberate obstacle to prevent you from completing all the tasks.”
After listening to the director, Zhou Yuan felt chills down his spine and broke into a cold sweat. The thought of having walked into the hands of such an evil entity filled him with dread.
Gu Honggao retracted his gaze and pulled out pen and paper from his storage ring:
“We need to co up with a battle plan. We’ll act in half an hour.”
“No problem.”
·
Half an hour later, the operation began.
Zhou Yuan did not participate. As a quasi-extraordinary person, what was the point of him joining the fray? Besides, he had already helped enough.
From the window, he watched the Mobile Task Force rapidly approach the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Tree. The tree, sensing their intentions, began its attack.
Sharp, pitch-black branches fell from its canopy, densely covering the sky, leaving no gaps, stabbing down on the group like a torrential downpour.
Each wooden spike was over ten ters long, as hard as steel, with terrifying penetration power, ruthlessly destroying amusent park facilities and impaling everything.
“Woohoo!!”
Amidst the cheers, dazzling golden light blood, almost turning the entire space into brilliant gold.
A magnificent golden dragon spread its wings, unleashing terrifying whirlwinds.
With a flick of its tail, the rain of sharp wood exploded into fragnts.
[Golden dragons are top-tier noble dragons. They are majestic, good-natured, grand, spectacular, brilliant, elegant, scholarly, tasteful, moral, talented, and romantic. They are humble and friendly towards all races. They love fine arts and are wealthy beyond asure…
The virtues of golden dragons are nearly endless, but the one before you seed a bit different.]
Indeed, quite different, barely matching any of the above traits!
Of course, quirks aside, Chen Guangxi’s combat prowess was undeniable.
Zhou Yuan blinked, and she appeared before the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Tree, her dragon claw clenched, throwing a punch.
True Dragon Martial Arts – Open Heaven!
At that mont, it sounded like thunder.
A violent shockwave erupted, and a world-shaking, ravaging force and dragon flas burst forth together.
The towering tree quivered, a large crater forming as fragnts flew, with jet-black demonic qi gushing out.
Chen Guangxi spat a mouthful of true dragon fire, instantly igniting the demonic qi, turning it into a blazing sea of fire.
Right then, countless black hairs surged like waves, wrapping around Chen Guangxi. The won’s hair showed imnse toughness, seemingly endless, making it hard for her to break free even while spewing dragon fire.
The Six Desires Heavenly Demon Tree had summoned the park’s fierce ghosts for assistance.
Gunfire roared, and explosions and flas continued as the Mobile Task Force clashed with the ghosts.
Zhou Yuan observed the chaotic battlefield, deep in thought.
Monts later, he pulled out his Opple smartphone.
“Director, you have so strength left to help
with a small task, right?”
“What are you up to?” the director asked suspiciously.
“You’ll see soon.”
[Task Na: “Ghost Call”]
[Task Objective: Answer an incoming call on your Opple smartphone and maintain a call duration of 3 minutes.]
[Task Reward 1: Experience Points *500]
[Task Reward 2: Star Coins *3000]
[Task Reward 3: Rare Quality Item Pack *1]
[Accept Task?]
[Yes/No]
“Accept.”
Seconds later, a crisp phone ring sounded, and blood-red gibberish appeared on the screen.
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and answered the call.
“Hello? Is anyone there?”
