The radiance of the twin sun and moon wheels did not last long, quickly dissipating, and Bai Ye's vision returned to normal.
However, when Bai Ye opened his eyes, Li Jia Yi was gone.
Bai Ye did not pursue. It wasn't that he didn't want to eliminate future trouble, but rather that the haunted house was constructed like a maze. Once he lost sight, it would be difficult to chase. With a pile of rooms and corridors for people to enter and exit, Bai Ye had no idea where Li Jia Yi had run off to.
Therefore, after a moment of thought, Bai Ye immediately decided to ignore Li Jia Yi for now and focus on completing the forbidden zone mission as quickly as possible.
From the moment he received the call and heard the proposal for cooperation, Bai Ye felt something was off. It wasn't that the cooperation itself was problematic, but rather that Li Jia Yi was taking a huge risk for this cooperation. Just as Bai Ye himself had said, after escorting Bai Ye into the haunted house, Li Jia Yi would be useless. Why should he believe Bai Ye would split the mission reward with him? Was it because Bai Ye was noble?
If it were his past life, Bai Ye might have been that naive. But after the baptism of his past life, Bai Ye would one hundred percent choose to eliminate Li Jia Yi.
So, while suspecting Li Jia Yi was one aspect, Bai Ye truly had no intention of giving up the forbidden zone mission. If Li Jia Yi had truly proposed cooperation out of naivety, then Bai Ye could only apologize and feel guilty for half a minute as a show of remorse.
The facts proved that Li Jia Yi was not naive at all, and Bai Ye's suspicions were correct.
The story about not being able to defeat the evil spirit and seeking cooperation with Bai Ye was absolute nonsense.
Just those brief few exchanges were enough to see that Li Jia Yi was a formidable fighter, and those twin sun and moon wheels were extremely powerful.
However, what was Li Jia Yi's objective?
This was something Bai Ye still did not understand.
But regardless of Li Jia Yi's objective, Bai Ye's objective was clear: the forbidden zone mission. Since that was the case, he should hurry and complete the forbidden zone mission. As long as his objective was achieved, whatever Li Jia Yi wanted to do would be none of Bai Ye's business.
As Bai Ye thought this, he raised his gun and quickly moved forward along the corridor.
At the same time, Li Jia Yi rapidly departed through a passage on the other side of the room. As he walked forward, he made a gesture of "six" with his hand, placing it by his ear like a receiver, and said, "Hello, something's happened."
The next moment, a voice actually came from the receiver made by his hand gesture: "What happened?"
"That kid is more cunning than we thought. The plan to use him as a scapegoat has failed. If nothing unexpected happens, he should complete the forbidden zone mission as quickly as possible."
"Can't we stop him?"
"It's not easy," Li Jia Yi said. "This kid is quite strong. After a brief exchange, I only have about a thirty percent chance of defeating him."
"So what should we do now?"
"Let's change the plan. We need to complete the hidden mission before he finishes the forbidden zone mission and snatch the hidden mission rewards."
"So we don't want the forbidden zone mission anymore?"
"Prolonging the night invites dreams, and entanglement benefits neither side," Li Jia Yi said coldly. "One must know how to choose. As long as we can obtain the rewards from the hidden mission, we won't lose out."
"I understand."
"Now, follow my instructions. First, find a way to get to the amusement park's administrator's office, and then..."
...
Bai Ye was unaware that because of him, Li Jia Yi had also started to become anxious, nor did he know that there was a hidden mission within the death amusement park.
But regardless of what was happening with Li Jia Yi, Bai Ye had decided to proceed at his own pace.
Quickly walking through the corridor, Bai Ye reached a corner and glanced to his side. Standing there was a headless axeman, without a head, and its neck stained with cheap-looking blood.
This appeared to be just a prop to scare people.
However...
Bai Ye unhesitatingly aimed his gun at the headless axeman.
As expected, the moment Bai Ye turned his gun, the headless axeman suddenly moved, raising its axe to chop down at Bai Ye.
However, Bai Ye was clearly faster.
Bang!
As Bai Ye pulled the trigger, a loud bang followed, and the headless axeman was blasted away, crashing heavily against the wall.
Bai Ye didn't even spare the opponent a second glance, continuing forward with his gun.
With the power of the Dragon's Roar, five energy beams hitting within three meters would be difficult even for a supervisor, let alone the "little guys" in a haunted house?
As for Bai Ye's near prescient actions, it was naturally due to his memories from his past life.
While Bai Ye couldn't remember exactly which monsters appeared in the haunted house, he knew that after the haunted house was burned down, a large number of evil spirits were born, and these evil spirits had possessed the props used for scaring people within the haunted house.
Therefore, the evil spirits behind the walls, the female ghost hanging from the ceiling, the headless axeman standing in the corner, as long as they were props for scaring people, they would now become evil spirits.
Naturally, upon seeing these things, there was no need for pleasantries; he just needed to shoot them.
After passing the corner, Bai Ye raised his flashlight to illuminate his surroundings. In the dim corridor, some scarlet light appeared below the ceiling.
Bai Ye raised his flashlight to shine a light; it was a large swarm of plastic bats.
These could not be possessed by evil spirits; there were too many of them, and evil spirits weren't that common.
So, Bai Ye walked straight ahead.
But the moment Bai Ye stepped forward...
Suddenly, those bats flapped their wings, making "squeaking" noises, and flew up above Bai Ye's head.
What was going on?
Bai Ye crouched down, shining his flashlight at the swarm of bats on the ceiling. It was then...
From within the swarm of bats, a pale white face suddenly appeared, with two fangs at its mouth, and lunged to bite Bai Ye.
A vampire!
Bang!
Bai Ye decisively fired, shattering the vampire's body.
But unlike the previous monsters, after the vampire's body was shattered, its head floated in the air, and the surrounding bats quickly converged towards the vampire, re-forming its body.
Bai Ye fired again!
Bang, bang!
Bai Ye fired two shots. The vampire's body, in the face of the Dragon's Roar, was equally fragile. Bai Ye fired two shots, and the vampire's body was shattered twice.
But...
It was useless!
After Bai Ye shattered the vampire's body, it dispersed into bats upon breaking apart. The bats then flew back, re-coalesced into a mass, and reformed the vampire's body.
At the same time...
The vampire floated down from the ceiling and approached Bai Ye.
Bai Ye put away the Dragon's Roar. It seemed that technological weapons were useless against this fellow. Then...
"Fire Charm!"
Bai Ye took out a Taoist talisman, let out a low cry, and then pushed the burning talisman forward with his palm.
...
