Chapter 27: The Team Enters the Black Hole

To be fair, it also looked like a passage to a bomb shelter.

However, if one thought about it carefully, how could such a building appear in a large shopping mall? It was very illogical.

“Everyone, pay attention, this is very likely to be a Ghost Domain!” Locke suddenly shouted.

That’s right, his first guess was that there was a very high probability that this place was a Ghost Domain.

They weren’t unfamiliar with the concept of the Ghost Domain.

A space formed by ghosts. As long as a ghost possessed the Ghost Domain, it would become quite terrifying.

Within the Ghost Domain, the strength of the malicious ghosts would increase by a large margin.

Hearing Captain Locke’s words, they were all on guard.

After all, that was the Ghost Domain!

Within the Ghost Domain, malicious ghosts could appear anywhere.

Their hearts also grew nervous.

As they walked, the underground passage gradually widened.

“Everyone, be more careful here! Don’t let your guard down!” Locke instructed once again.

“Yes, Captain.”

“Roger!”

…

The voices that rose and fell in the tunnel were abnormally loud.

When they reached the end of the tunnel, they came to a basement.

The basement was very big, and there was a weak light inside.

The light was emitted by the oil lamp, which made the basement seem very strange.

“Everyone, pay attention, the aura of the malicious ghosts here is getting stronger and stronger!” Locke’s expression became serious.

They continued to walk forward slowly.

Suddenly, there was a bang and the entire basement lit up!

Before anyone could react, they were blinded by the light.

“Ah! What happened?!” Martin covered his eyes and shouted.

After a while, they finally recovered.

“This is?!”

They saw something incredible!

There were many transparent jars here, and each jar contained people!

There were adults, children, and old people.

Everyone was naked, and their expressions were painful.

They were soaking in the turbid liquid.

Everyone’s actions were different. Some were struggling, some were terrified, and some were in pain.

This scene was horrifying and also struck fear into their hearts.

One or two jars would be nothing, but there were countless jars of this kind here.

“Captain, Captain, what should we do?” Martin swallowed his saliva and asked in fear.

This was much more terrifying than a deadly ghost. It was more from the fear of their own kind.

One had to know that although they had also controlled the Deadly Spectre Puzzle, they were still essentially human.

Whether it was in terms of perspective or psychology, it was a huge shock to a person.

“Yes, Captain. What are these things? How can such things exist in such a place? I’m really confused,” Mike said.

At this moment, Tom walked over and looked at Locke. “Captain, this doesn’t seem to be a Ghost Domain. These corpses are very likely to have been made this way by a human.”

His point of view was that how could a deadly ghost leave the corpses behind?

They had all seen the cruelty of deadly ghosts. How could one do such a thing? This was very illogical.

“No, I have a different point of view. This is very likely an illusion of a deadly ghost. We have all been deceived by ghosts before, this time is no different,” Locke explained.

When everyone heard this, they were greatly shocked.

An illusion!

One had to know that among them, there were also Ghost Fighters who could create illusions, but how could they do it to such an extent.

If it was really an illusion created by a malicious ghost, how strong was this malicious ghost? Disaster-level? No way, it was even higher than disaster-level, because an illusion could be seen through!

What they said was only speculation, they didn’t know what the truth was.

As a result, things were getting more and more ridiculous.

“Captain, are we still going to continue?” Martin looked at the jars of corpses and felt a chill in his heart.

Mike also felt that this place was very strange. It was beyond what they could deal with. If they continued, they might lose their lives.

“Captain, I suggest that everyone retreat. We should give up here. We can still get a Deadly Spectre Puzzle if we go to other places.” Mike said.

This was no longer a problem with the Deadly Spectre Puzzle. It involved the safety of the entire organization. They could not take the risk.

If they failed, they would all die.

“Yes, Captain. We can still get out of this situation. If something happens, we might not be able to get out.” Martin said anxiously.

“We can go find that Maron. He has two people with him. They both have the Deadly Spectre Puzzle. We can just go and snatch their puzzle.” Martin thought of the scene where he was ridiculed and added.

“That’s right. We have killed so many evil ghosts over there, but there is no puzzle piece. There isn’t even a mission hint.” Mike added.

Locke did not speak. It was obvious that he was thinking of a countermeasure. If it did not work, he could only go out.

Hearing Mike say a mission hint, Locke suddenly thought of something.

“A mission hint? Switch your phones on and take a look. Is there a mission hint there?” Locke looked at everyone and asked.

Everyone took out their phones and shook their heads.

There was no mission hint.

Then it was very likely that this was not the setting of the game and they had mistakenly entered a place that existed before the world had changed.

Moreover, the things inside were even more terrifying than the deadly ghosts.

“Captain, don’t hesitate. I already have a feeling of unease in my heart,” Martin said.

“Okay, let’s leave now.” Locke also gave up on the deadly ghosts here.

Because everything here was too strange, they didn’t want to take any risks, and they couldn’t take any risks either.

The group exited the tunnel and returned to the hall on the fourth floor.

Just as Locke was about to say something, he was interrupted by a discordant voice.

“Oh, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to bump into you guys here.” A familiar voice reached Locke’s ears. Then, a group of people walked out. Their leader was Alan.

This group was Alan’s group.

“Why are you here? Humph, you actually followed us. You guys are getting more and more shameless.” Locke snorted.

They kept bumping into each other!

Locke was already gnashing his teeth in hatred, but he could not show his courage now, or else they would be at a disadvantage.

“Oh, our great Captain Locke, don’t misunderstand. We came here because we sensed the existence of a malicious ghost. I didn’t expect to meet you here. This is all fate!” Alan stopped five meters in front of Locke.

“Hmph, don’t be arrogant. One day, I will personally take care of you.” Locke snorted coldly.

“Oh my, you’re getting anxious. Is this still our Captain Locke?” Alan looked at Locke’s team members and then looked at his own team members behind him.

Locke’s team members only looked at Alan coldly. No one said anything.
