Chapter 53: Inevitable Encounter

To speed things up, they seized the person who broke into the Laboratory.

Jiang Shangbai did not hesitate to use the Ghost Domain to lead everyone to the Laboratory.

Of course, the main reason was also that Wang Xiaoming's Laboratory was not far from their conference room.

To deal with the various crises that a Ghostly Servant might cause, the Headquarters held its meeting near the Ghost Tamer Training Base.

However, when Jiang Shangbai arrived at Wang Xiaoming's Laboratory, his complexion changed abruptly.

Because he saw there the figure that terrified him most, which could almost be called his psychological shadow.

"Red and White Double Evil!"

Jiang Shangbai muttered, uttering a title that made everyone's expression change.

"Is that the Red and White Double Evil?"

Feng Quan's tone was grave; he recalled that when he was at the Caesar Grand Hotel, the Red and White Double Evil had also been seen there.

"Be careful; according to the information we have, the White Evil of the Red and White Double Evil possesses a stacking Crying and the Kneeling Death ability."

"And the Red Evil is even more bizarre and terrifying; although it rarely acts, its Ghost Summoning alone is enough to make everyone take notice."

Wang Xiaoming stared at the Red and White Double Evil outside the Laboratory; though he tried to keep his gaze calm, an unexpected look inevitably flashed in the depths of his eyes.

After experiencing Wei Jing's transformation into a Ghostly Servant and the Servant's intelligence, he increasingly found Fierce Ghosts to be strange.

And the Red and White Double Evil before him was just like a Ghostly Servant, purposeful in everything it did.

"Could it be that the Red and White Double Evil, like Wei Jing's Ghostly Servant, possesses some intelligence?"

Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but entertain that speculation.

But it was still just a guess; after all, who makes the Red and White Double Evil act so oddly? A normal Fierce Ghost, without triggering the Killing Rule, would not spread on such a large scale.

Moreover, the few times the Red and White Double Evil killed, those acts did not seem to follow the Killing Rule.

In contrast, it seemed as if there was a purpose first, and only after reaching it did the Killing Rule activate, which is entirely different from ordinary Fierce Ghosts.

It was as if the Ghostly Servant at that time hadn't attacked Wang Xiaoming and Li Jun, but was waiting for them to flee and open the Laboratory's doors.

"Professor Wang, how about you leave first?"

Jiang Shangbai's tone was solemn, no longer the confident demeanor he had shown in the conference room.

"The White Evil's Crying is terrifying; unless one renders oneself deaf, one cannot endure it."

Jiang Shangbai's meaning was clear: Wang Xiaoming is an ordinary person and cannot do that.

Doing so rashly might cause some irreversible problems for Wang Xiaoming's body.

"I'll take you out."

Li Jun heard Jiang Shangbai's words, his expression hardened, Ghost Fire ignited on his body, and he was about to lead Wang Xiaoming away.

"Me!" Wang Xiaoming tried to say something, but he had already been engulfed by the Ghost Domain and vanished on the spot.

"The Red and White Double Evil has a Restart Supernatural, so our goal is to reclaim the Ghost Coffin."

Jiang Shangbai looked at the departing Wang Xiaoming and said gravely to the others.

In fact, his earlier suggestion had been to retreat with Wang Xiaoming himself.

Unexpectedly, that guy Li Jun, hearing that Wang Xiaoming might be in danger there, left with him without saying a word.

But seeing so many Ghost Tamers around, each a top Ghost Tamer of the current Headquarters, Jiang Shangbai was not overly worried.

Last time only four of them had successfully suppressed the White Evil once; this time, with so many, there was no need to fear the Red and White Double Evil. While Jiang Shangbai was speaking, Zhang Hao also noticed the arrival of the Headquarters.

The speed of this support surprised him; shouldn't the Headquarters' officials prefer to delay?

But considering what era it is now, he could understand.

After the Ghostly Servant incident in Dajing City, those who still think about handling Supernatural Incidents are basically candidates for reserve captains.

Now the group that came to this side of the Laboratory should all be reserve captain candidates, but they cannot enter the Ghostly Servant's Ghost Domain.

"Think I'm easy to bully?"

Zhang Hao looked at them and acted first before anyone else had started.

He placed the Ghost Coffin beside him; the air seemed to rub together, emitting a whimpering sound.

"Bad! Quickly, everyone make themselves deaf first; this Crying can keep stacking, and even the Ghost Domain cannot fully block it."

Jiang Shangbai's complexion changed; although this Crying can be avoided simply by a Ghost Tamer rendering themselves deaf—seeming rather useless—it is in fact a terrifying ability.

Why do Ghost Tamers cooperate to handle Supernatural Incidents? Naturally, to compensate for their shortcomings and more easily deal with Fierce Ghosts.

But under this Crying, they have to choose to put themselves into a deaf state.

In such a situation, coordination among Ghost Tamers becomes very stiff.

Without communication, cooperation can only rely on tacit understanding.

Without tacit understanding, waiting until you figure out a teammate's intent before acting is undoubtedly too late.

"Wang Shuang, He Jin, you are responsible for support."

"Feng Quan, you and I both have Ghost Domains; we are responsible for protecting teammates and containing the Red and White Double Evil."

"Everyone else choose suitable attack timings individually; later we won't be able to communicate."

After saying that, Jiang Shangbai immediately rendered himself deaf.

After the others felt the Crying begin to erode them, they too changed expression and put themselves into a deaf state.

Then Jiang Shangbai unfolded his Ghost Domain, like a bright light at dusk isolating everyone within the Ghost Domain, preventing them from becoming targets of Kneeling Death.

Feng Quan also released his Ghost Domain; white mist shrouded this dim yellow Ghost Domain, carving out a small enclave near Jiang Shangbai and himself.

The Red and White Double Evil can walk into the Ghost Domain; being in the same Ghost Domain cannot isolate the Kneeling Death Supernatural.

Therefore, at this moment another new Ghost Domain is needed.

Feng Quan's Ghost Domain isolates him and Jiang Shangbai, preventing them from becoming targets of the Red and White Double Evil.

It also ensures that when others are affected by the Kneeling Death Supernatural, they can be provided a safe place instantly.

Of course, prolonged combat is a very severe stimulus for the Fierce Ghost.

"It's the same trick again; before I truly had no way, but now it's different."

Zhang Hao stared at Jiang Shangbai in the center of the Ghost Domain, and at the Ghost Tamers rushing toward him, his numb, hollow gaze gradually turning resentful, poisonous, and cold.

"Damn! What's going on? Didn't they say the Red and White Double Evil only has the Kneeling Death and Crying attack methods?"

A Ghost Tamer's complexion suddenly changed.

However, no one answered his words, because everyone was in a deafened state; only Jiang Shangbai, who used the Ghost Domain to cover the entire arena, heard him.
