The group of people ahead were still discussing Ace's heroic deeds enthusiastically.

The topic quickly changed from "What may Ace be doing now" to "How can he be abducted into the combat department".

Yejia said that he was very tired and refused to continue listening.

He quietly left the cave in the center, and walked around carefully again in the spider's nest. After killing several of the leaked fish that had been hidden before, he turned around and left the empty insect nest.

Ami was waiting for him at the entrance of the cave: "How is it?"

Yejia: "It's already done."

"Where are those humans?"

"Nothing was found." Yejia said without changing his face: "It's not worth fearing."

Ami patted his shoulder and praised without reservation: "It's so beautiful. I will definitely say a few good words to Wang Hao when I go back!"

Ye Jia hesitated for a while: "That..."

Ami: "Hmm? Is there any other problem?"

Although it was separated by a layer of yin mist like gunpowder, for some reason, Ami saw a hint of shyness from the other person:

"Does our industry have a salary?"

"Of course!" Ami thrust her chest and said proudly: "The treatment of the king here is the highest among all the ghost gods!"

"Cough, but..." Ye Jia coughed: "The job that Wang gave me now is to enter human institutions to lurk. In order to ensure my life in human society, should I..."

His tail sound was slightly elongated, as if it was implying something.

Ami: "…"

It thought for a while and suddenly realized: "Oh! You are talking about human currency!"

Ye Jia was excited: "Yes, yes!"

"No." Ami answered firmly.

Yejia: “…”

"However, I will mention your request to the king. Maybe you can discount your salary to you." As if he realized the murderous aura on Ye Jia, Ami's words changed: "You don't have to worry about the treatment."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jia was very moved: "Thank you, good brother!"

Just as they were about to part, Ami seemed to suddenly feel something. She paused and took out the strange-shaped compass before.

The surface that had become blank changed again

"Day," Ami cursed: "One left."

Yejia went over: "Hmm?"

"It's also a shadow ghost." Ami said coldly: "I guess I've been hiding in the shadow before, and the compass has not found its location."

Yejia asked: "Is it far?"

Ami put away the compass and said in a gloomy tone: "It's nearby."

Yejia sighed silently.

——It seems that I can't get off work yet.

They left the abandoned construction site and ran towards the residential area beside them under the cover of night.

·

It is close to the suburbs and has a small population.

Just two blocks away from the construction site is an old-fashioned community.

The buildings are low and the planning is chaotic, like a corner abandoned by a rapidly developing city.

Behind the community is a dead and desolate path, with aging street lights flashing irregularly, making a harsh sound of electric current.

Under the street lights, a dim yellow light fell on the rugged path, barely dispelling some dark night.

The pedestrian hurried forward and shrank involuntarily as he passed by.

It was clearly a summer night, but the cold wind just now seemed to be able to blow into my bones.

The man subconsciously tightened his collar and instinctively looked up into the darkness beside him.

The night makes the roads in the distance and the surrounding buildings appear far and blurred.

He instinctively stopped and looked in panic as he walked the path ahead thousands of times.

For some reason, something in the darkness around him made him feel uneasy, as if... something was waiting for him.

A sense of fear that seemed to be derived from instinct was clamoring in his mind, making him dare not take another step forward.

Yes, is it an illusion?

Just as the man was hesitating, suddenly the shadow outside the street light expanded at a strange speed. The next second, several hands suddenly poked out of the darkness and grabbed his ankle tightly.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The man screamed in horror and was dragged to the ground.

He struggled frantically, his fingernails scratched messy white scratches on the ground, but he could not get rid of the blurred hand on his ankle: "Help!"

A second before the man was dragged into the darkness in despair—

Suddenly, a sharp blade broke through the air came from the front.

It is very light, fleeting, and almost suspected that it was imagined by oneself.

But the next second, an extremely terrifying scream came from the darkness ahead, as if it was scratching the glass with a blade, piercing towards the listener's eardrum like an awl.

The blurry black hand held on the man's ankle was like a pain, and it retreated back against the ground like a snake.

In extreme horror, the man raised his head and looked at the darkness in front of him.

In a place where street lights cannot be shined, there seems to be a tall figure standing silently in the shadows, like a black silhouette, silently staring in this direction.

The man's hair stood up in an instant.

He didn't dare to look again, turned around with a pale face, and stumbled and ran in the opposite direction.

In the darkness.

Yejia withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at the shadow ghost in front of him.

The shadow ghost opposite was hurt by Ye Jia, which was hissing and resentful, and a strong yin energy surged out of its wound. The blurred facial features changed in the dark, and the hungry and malicious gaze stuck tightly on Ye Jia, as if examining the strength of his opponent.

"I know what you are thinking," Ye Jia chuckled: "But I'm sorry."

He stepped back, his voice soft and lazy: "...Your opponent is not me this time."

Behind Yejia, Ami's body slowly solidified.

The figure of the shadow ghost on the opposite side froze: "...Is it you?"

It seemed that it finally realized what the ghost in front of it was doing, and quickly turned around and fled in the direction it came, as if it wanted to escape.

——It’s a pity that it’s too late.

The twisted black shadow expanded in Ami's body, splitting out a terrifying and twisted huge limb, pounced towards the escaped shadow ghost, and pulled it out of the shadow he was trying to hide.

The shadow ghost had to turn around to fight.

They quickly and fiercely fought in everything.

The strong yin energy rushed wildly around, almost covering the entire block with a cold and evil aura. The darkness spread. The already dim street light was drowned like fluorescent light, and the shrill and angry screams mixed in, making the scalp numb.

In just a few minutes, the winner has been decided.

The darkness shrank back little by little, and the street lights flashed twice, and lit up again.

The shadow ghost was pulled under the street light by Ami. It had lost its obvious human form, and was tightly attached to the ground like some wet and sticky mollusk. It wriggled and retreated back with difficulty.

"I, I will not betray the king..." Yinggui's voice trembled and frightened: "You, you want to believe me, I'm just confused for a moment..."

"Of course I believe in you." Ami slowly approached the other party and said coldly:

"However, a betrayal that is confused for a moment is also a betrayal, and it also requires a price."

Its body spread out like a plane, like a huge mouth, silently biting it hard at the other party!

"Wait! Wait!" The ghost opposite became sharp and loud: "I can exchange! I have information here, the information you want! Exchange my life!"

"What can you know?" Ami's predatory figure stopped and sneered without hesitation: "Can you know what the power is hidden behind the insect mother with your status?"

"You don't have the information we want at all," Ami sneered.

"Hehe, hehehe..." The shadow ghost's body was pressed against the ground, flowing slowly like a fluid, making a gloomy laugh: "No, I have, I have, and it's what your king wants most..."

It raised its blurred head and said slowly:

“—I know where ace is.”

This time, Ami really stopped and it narrowed her eyes: "What?"

"I saw him..." Shadow Ghost hissed: "He is in City M."

"That iconic sickle, yes..."
