The man said solemnly, "Then we can only join forces to throw you out."
Killing was impossible. It didn't matter if they were many, their numbers were the problem, because it was difficult to decide who would take the blame. The ghost behind a person only appeared on the one who delivered the killing blow.
But joining forces to throw someone out, the man thought, was achievable.
"With you lot?" Bai Ye chuckled and then said, "Fine, you want proof, I'll give you proof."
As Bai Ye spoke, he walked towards the female ghost.
The female ghost immediately put on a pitiful act and pleaded, "Help me, help me."
Everyone became vigilant. The man directly blocked Bai Ye's path, and the others instinctively shielded the female ghost behind them.
Bai Ye casually pushed the man blocking him aside and continued forward. He looked at the female ghost and said, "You think you're the only one who can play these tricks?"
As Bai Ye spoke, he wagged his index finger.
Someone yelled at Bai Ye, "I'm warning you, don't come any closer!"
Bai Ye's face showed contempt as he said, "If I kill her and a ghost appears behind me, it means I'm human. If no ghost appears, it means I'm a ghost. Whoever kills me will get a Shard of the God Stone. This deal benefits you no matter what. Either you eliminate a potential threat, or you get a Shard of the God Stone."
A sudden silence fell over the area.
The atmosphere began to feel strange.
The female ghost started to panic a little. Although everyone was still in front of Bai Ye, the crowd had noticeably thinned out.
The female ghost immediately pleaded again, "Help me, please, help me. I don't want to die."
It was better when the female ghost remained silent. Her plea, however, caused the surrounding people to avert their gaze, deliberately not looking at her.
The crowd, naturally, quieted down and spread out a little more.
It was at this moment that Bai Ye suddenly raised the "Roaring Dragon" and aimed it at the female ghost, saying, "You think you're worthy of playing games with me? How can a ghost understand human nature better than a human?"
Bang!
Bai Ye pulled the trigger. With the roar of the "Roaring Dragon" firing, the female ghost's chest was blown to smithereens. She fell backward.
As the female ghost fell, no blood appeared. Her shattered body turned into black smoke and dissipated. Similarly, no ghost appeared behind Bai Ye.
This naturally made everyone understand who was human and who was a ghost. 138 Reading Network
"The female ghost was quite beautiful. Remember to look at her more."
Bai Ye sneered at everyone, then walked to the side and casually found a spot to sit down.
The others looked embarrassed. Bai Ye wasn't exactly happy either, because there were no Shards of the God Stone.
That female ghost was from the Death Amusement Park, not someone who had drawn a Ghost Card, so killing her was just that – no benefit.
However, at least no one was telling Bai Ye to get lost anymore.
Bai Ye had also temporarily gained a chance to rest. It wasn't because he was tired. His body, modified by the T-virus, was incredibly powerful and not easily fatigued. He just looked at the time; the first hour was almost up, meaning it was time for the second round of card draws.
Since that was the case, Bai Ye wasn't in a hurry to act. He would wait for the second round of draws and see if he could get a Ghost Card.
As Bai Ye thought this, he looked around with ill intentions.
One, two, three...
There were exactly seven people in the circus. Although Bai Ye's goal was the Forbidden Zone missions, if he could get another Shard of the God Stone...
Bai Ye's smile became even more sinister.
Since he had nothing else to do, Bai Ye idly checked his status, while also pondering what he should do next after obtaining a spiritual body.
After all, he felt that his physical enhancements were sufficient after obtaining the spiritual body, and it was time to consider ways to become stronger beyond his physical capabilities.
Then, Bai Ye discovered some good news.
Five Spirit Disk...
Spirit Gathering (100/100)
The Spirit Gathering for the Five Spirit Disk had actually been filled.
Bai Ye didn't need to do much for Spirit Gathering. The Five Spirit Disk would absorb the five-elemental energies from the surrounding environment on its own. Furthermore, killing other participants or various strange creatures in the world battlefield could also absorb a certain amount of five-elemental energy.
Of course, the most important thing was that the Spirit Gathering of the Five Spirit Disk increased gradually. The first time it was filled was naturally easier.
Since that was the case, what was there to hesitate about? Bai Ye chose to absorb the five-elemental spiritual energy!
"You have completed Spirit Gathering cultivation. Your Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Spirit stats have increased by 3 points."
"You have completed Spirit Gathering cultivation. Your Five Spirit Curses have been enhanced."
His physical attributes, except for Intelligence, had all improved. However, the increase wasn't significant enough to feel a noticeable difference. After all, the Five Spirit Disk was about continuous improvement, not a one-time transaction, so it was natural that the increase wouldn't be too large in a single instance.
In addition, his Five Spirit Curses had also improved. However, there were no visible changes; they remained the lowest tier of Taoist magic, but their power would have increased.
At the same time, the Spirit Gathering for the Five Spirit Disk reset to 0/200, and the cap had been raised.
It was at this moment...
A light screen suddenly popped up in front of everyone. Above the screen, two new cards rose.
The hour had passed, and it was time for everyone to draw new cards.
"Ghost Card, Ghost Card, Ghost Card..."
Bai Ye muttered to himself and, as usual, drew the card on the left.
He flipped the card over to look. On the white surface, Bai Ye's image quickly appeared.
"Damn it!"
Bai Ye couldn't help but curse. Another Human Card!
In the second round, not enough people had died yet, and the probability of drawing a Ghost Card was indeed still low, but Bai Ye had been hoping for it!
If he had drawn a Ghost Card, Bai Ye was confident he could complete the three Forbidden Zone missions of the Death Amusement Park within an hour. However, it was still a Human Card, making even simple free movement difficult.
At the same time...
"Believe me, I drew a Human Card again. I'm really human, I swear!"
The seven people who had seemed to form a group earlier, at the new round of card draws, had their trust in each other instantly shattered.
After all, no one could be sure what card the person next to them had drawn this time.
Therefore, the game rules of the Death Amusement Park were truly malicious, playing with human nature by building trust and then destroying it.
Explaining immediately after drawing cards was meaningless. They couldn't see each other's cards, and if solemn oaths were enough, why would there be so many villains in the world?
Seeing how people who were previously getting along instantly became wary of each other, Bai Ye couldn't help but tut.
Sometimes, trust really made one feel sad.
