chapter 10
At this moment.
A chaotic battle was erupting in the hospital lobby.
Countless people dressed like the orderly Li Yi had previously encountered were attacking a woman.
Wu Qian swung her short blade, casually severing the arms of an orderly who got too close.
Squelch-
A strange thing happened: at the cross-section of the wound, there was no blood. Moreover, the injured orderly not only felt no pain, but the madness in his eyes intensified, and his movements became even more frenzied.
They howled like wild beasts, baring their teeth and claws.
Seeing this, Wu Qian frowned deeply. With sharp reflexes, she dodged the attacks of the Ghost Servants, occasionally decapitating one with her short blade.
These people were no longer human, but Ghost Servants.
There is an old saying: “To act as a Chang Ghost for the tiger.” It was said that those killed by a tiger would become Chang Ghosts, serving the tiger and continuing to slaughter the next passerby.
The people before her were in this very situation. They had become puppets of the ghost, with no sense of self.
Unless something or someone from their most vivid memories in life appeared, only then could a sliver of recollection be awakened.
Wu Qian easily dodged the attacks of the Ghost Servants, but she did not let down her guard.
Because the ‘tiger’ standing behind these Chang Ghosts had yet to make a move.
“There’s actually an Evil Ghost of this level in Qingshan Hospital…?”
Wu Qian’s expression was grim. The number of Ghost Servants an Evil Ghost could control reflected the strength of its true form.
And in Qingshan Hospital, there were hundreds of patients, all of whom had been turned into Ghost Servants.
It was imaginable that even if its true form appeared, they would have no confidence in eliminating it.
The prolonged battle had left her drenched in sweat, and her already tight-fitting top clung even closer to her body, outlining an astonishing figure.
“Damn it!”
Wu Qian gritted her teeth, a sense of despair rising in her heart.
Suddenly, a terrified voice came from one of the Ghost Servants.
“There’s a master who can summon thunder coming this way!”
With this cry, panic also rose in the eyes of the other ferocious Ghost Servants.
Thunder has always been the nemesis of all evil since ancient times.
“What are you afraid of? We’ve already become ghosts, why should we fear him?”
“You’re brave, but we’re leaving first. Farewell, brother.”
Chaos erupted among the ghosts.
At the corner ahead, Li Yi emerged, Palm Thunder crackling with flashes in his hand, his steps casual.
At this moment, Li Yi looked at the group of former patients before him, his face full of disappointment as he said, “How does the country usually teach you? You must restrain your desires, be a good person, and even if you become a ghost, you should be a good ghost.”
“Now, the way you are makes things very difficult for me as a master.”
Li Yi casually tossed out a Palm Thunder, and a Ghost Servant immediately stiffened and collapsed to the ground.
“Brothers, run! The Thunder Law King is here!”
The Ghost Servants, who had been ferocious and crazed just moments before, now had no will to resist at all and scattered in all directions.
“Don’t let them escape! These Ghost Servants have already become the Evil Ghost’s minions-they are no longer the patients they once were!”
Wu Qian cried out in alarm. Who was this person, to actually awaken the consciousness of the mindless Ghost Servants, and to make them so afraid of him?
Hearing this, Li Yi’s expression immediately turned serious.
Hundreds of patients and doctors in Qingshan Hospital had all been turned into Ghost Servants by this Evil Ghost.
This Evil Ghost truly deserved to die.
At the same time, the barrage in Li Yi’s Live Streaming Room surged, one message after another, densely packed.
[“Whoa, so many Ghost Servants. Looks like the Fierce Ghost level at Qingshan Hospital is no joke. Streamer, you’re bold.”]
[“Ahhh, I can’t watch this. Only the Spirit Bureau could handle something like this. You’re doomed, Streamer.”]
[“Hey Streamer, I’m a Suona Player. Should I start playing now?”]
[“Mom, I want to go home.”]
Staring at the flood of comments on the screen, Li Yi let out a quiet sigh. In the face of supernatural events, ordinary lives seemed especially fragile. Hundreds of lives lost at Qingshan Hospital-who will pay for them?
But since I’ve been chosen by the Anti-Cliché Streamer System and granted extraordinary power, it’s my duty to seek justice for them.
“Evil Ghosts rule the world, demons and monsters roam free-I don’t care who you are, you’re all getting hit with an electric blast.”
Done, Li Yi took a step forward and charged into the horde of former patients, unleashing Palm Thunder from his palm.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The arcs of electricity were terrifyingly powerful, and with the Ghost Servants’ instinctive fear of thunder, none dared to fight back. In a blink, dozens of Ghost Servants collapsed.
Fight’s over. Time to clock out!
Gazing at the now-empty lobby, Li Yi nodded with satisfaction as the chat exploded again.
[“Guys, fun is fun, but with skills like that, could the Streamer trade for a house in Cao County?”]
“You… who are you?”
Just as Li Yi was about to respond to the comments, a woman’s voice suddenly came from behind-it was Wu Qian, the female officer from earlier.
Do police officers use knives now?
Li Yi glanced in surprise at the short blade in Wu Qian’s hand, recalling how agile she’d been while fighting among the Ghost Servants.
He couldn’t help but think, Those long legs-what a waste if she’s not putting them to good use.
“Ahem, I’m a single and promising young man.” Li Yi straightened his collar and put on a serious face.
“Miss, if I may ask-can I break into your world?”
Meanwhile-
Second floor of the building.
A thick stench of blood filled the corridor, corpses strewn everywhere.
In a hospital room, seven or eight surviving orderlies huddled in a corner, shaking. In front of them stood four men in black uniforms, the same as Wu Qian’s.
Their faces were pale, all of them wounded to varying degrees, as if bitten by some creature.
Among them, the only one who still looked able to fight was a square-faced middle-aged man named Zhou Sheng, the team’s captain.
“Captain Zhou, this ghost is just too strong. We may not make it out. You should go first.”
“Yeah, Captain Zhou, with your skills, there’s no need for you to die here with us.”
“If you get out, tell my daughter her father was a hero!”
One of the badly injured young men said, his eyes dim.
“Break out?”
“You’re all soldiers I trained myself. Am I supposed to just stand here and watch you die?”
“You can tell your daughter that yourself when you get out…” Zhou Sheng roared.
“But…”
“No buts!”
Zhou Sheng cut him off.
“What we need to do is hold on. People outside must have realized something’s wrong. Reinforcements will arrive soon.”
But maybe they won’t… Zhou Sheng felt a heavy weight in his chest. Even if reinforcements came, it would be hard for them to find this place quickly.
Step. Step. Step.
As the group argued, the sound of footsteps quietly approached. Everyone held their breath.
