Chapter 76: One Hit For 80 Yuan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Without needing Squad Leader Zhang to give any instructions, policewoman Wen Chang, who had watched this scene, launched continuous attacks. She kept firing at the balloons, which burst one after another.

‘Damn, are they really shooting balloons?’

While Lin Yao was thinking to himself, the Ghost Bullet awakened from the daze caused by the thunderous roar.

However, Squad Leader Zhang had a tight grip on him, so there was no way the freak could move. Although the gray mist around it constantly burrowed toward Squad Leader Zhang, bloodied Squad Leader Zhang seemed able to prevent the attack of the cold aura. He was totally unaffected by it.

The Ghost Bullet was a freakish gunner known for his speed and ability. As a result, he was not as strong as Squad Leader Zhang. Besides, Squad Leader Zhang had practiced military boxing and was very skilled in grabbing and pinning the enemy down. The freak had no way of dodging the policewoman’s attacks either.

On the other side, the bear-shaped doll naturally wanted to save its master. However, Li Shan and the soldiers put up a desperate fight. They charged forward to stop the doll, even crushing it to the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a dozen more shots, the balloons on the Ghost Bullet were finally destroyed.

When the balloons were destroyed, the policewoman stopped firing. On the other side, Squad Leader Zhang used this opportunity to break the freak’s limbs and smashed them thoroughly with his feet. He lifted his foot and had the urge to slam the freak’s head. However, in the end, he seemed to think of something and retracted his foot. Instead, he kept watch over the immobile Ghost Bullet as he shouted at the fighters at the rear, who had just killed the bear-shaped doll.

“Come here with the golden rope and the spells. We must never let this freak run away.”

“Yes, Squad Leader.”

After some work, the Ghost Bullet was completely tied up, and everyone panted hard while sitting on the ground.

In fact, this series of battles did not last long. The Ghost Bullet had only fired three shots. However, they were under immense pressure, and the freak’s ability to kill in one shot was really terrifying. The fighters did not dare to lower their guard. Any mistake would cost them their lives.

Fortunately, the freak was eventually tied up and they finally won.

There was not much time to rest. They barely caught their breath before they all took the same path back with Li Shan in the lead.

“The Ghost Bullet must be locked in the haunted house!”

“Killing this freak will be more useful than killing ten freaks.”

The Ghost Bullet was capable of sneaking attacks in the fog. It was a source of trouble. Now that they had trapped it, the team’s mission this time around was considered successful.

On the journey back, Squad Leader Zhang and Captain Li made a point of thanking Lin Yao.

“Thank you. You saved the lives of many of my brothers, as well as my own life.”

“If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can contact me directly. As an armed policeman, there are some things that I can handle and deal with.”

Many people expressed their gratitude and shot thankful glances at Lin Yao. He could not help but feel that he had a bigger responsibility now. He did not think that he deserved their gratitude.

“I should be thanking you all. You protected us so that we could lead a safe, secure life. Besides, I was also helping myself. Everyone is responsible for defending their home and the country.”

“It’s indeed everyone’s responsibility. Well said.”

Everyone was glad that they had eliminated the freak and survived this tough fight. Unfortunately, although everyone left the scene quickly after the battle, the commotion still attracted a group of freaks.

On the way back, Lin Yao felt terrible malice coming from all directions. Fortunately, not all freaks managed to lift the restrictions. Some of the freaks might have seen Lin Yao and the others, but they only watched them. This was because they had exchanged their money for different materials before leaving the haunted house.

Under the circumstances, Lin Yao also had a clearer understanding of the rules at the amusement park.

‘The most dangerous moment is when you arrive at this place. Ordinary people who pick up money will be forced by the merchants, hawkers, and amusement facilities to make purchases here.’

At this thought, Lin Yao felt upset. He had not expected that after transmigrating and entering a mysterious land different from the present world, he would still have to deal with mandatory consumption at amusement parks. Moreover, the purchases in the normal world only required money, while the merchants here were after both their money and lives.

‘Mandatory consumption must be regulated.’

Lin Yao, who was lost in thought, also thought of the second problem one encountered after entering the amusement park, which was the cold aura caused by the gray fog.

‘The cold aura can lower the human body temperature… No, apart from lowering the body temperature, it will also drain one of their breath of life. Even if one is not forced to make purchases by the amusement facilities, without a safe place to hide, one will freeze to death or be infested by the gray fog.

‘The third problem is that the haunted house is very difficult to locate. After finding it, not many people will dare to enter it. Unless they are very lucky, all of the above will make it difficult for ordinary people to survive here. It is similar to walking around in an unsolvable horror game. I was able to survive until the end because I only had six yuan upon arriving and I have the Malice Detection talent.

‘These three problems are equivalent to three crises for humans. If one is unlucky, one could die anytime. However, if one successfully spends the money in the haunted house and has a set of special protective clothing, one will be much safer here. One will have a high survival rate as long as one doesn’t provoke the freaks.’

The freaks surrounding them merely stared at Lin Yao and the rest and did not make a move. Upon seeing this, Lin Yao was no longer as fearful of this mysterious land.

Lin Yao and the rest did not attack the freaks on their way back to the haunted house either. Their main goal was to take the Ghost Bullet into the haunted house. It would be much more useful to kill this freak, which had lifted the restrictions, than killing 10 other freaks.

“By the way, why don’t we kill the freak right away instead of taking him to the haunted house to lock him and put him away?”

Lin Yao voiced his doubts along the way. In response, Squad Leader Zhang, who felt very weak after the ultimate release of power and had been punched head-on by the bear-shaped doll, said, “It is useless to kill him. If we don’t destroy the core of the mysterious land and eliminate the negative emotions outside, we will not be able to kill the freaks that wander in the mysterious land. Even if we kill the Ghost Bullet this time, it will not be long before he comes back to life in the amusement park.”

“Comes back to life? Is this an immortal monster?”

Lin Yao was shocked by Squad Leader Zhang’s words. However, Squad Leader Zhang was very calm. “It is not that easy to achieve immortality. The freaks will be resurrected, but the Ghost Bullet that is resurrected will be a new Ghost Bullet. That will not be the Ghost Bullet that was killed by us. This is similar to our descendants. Although our children are similar to us and they inherit our genes, we are ultimately different people. Therefore, all freaks want to stay alive.

“However, by locking them in the haunted house, the freaks will not appear in the amusement park again. Plus, this can increase the strength of the haunted house’s owner.”

“How do we close the mysterious land completely?”

“I am not sure about this either. I have been providing support on the periphery. The secret of the mysterious land lies in the core area. However, what we do can also help the core area. As long as we imprison more freaks, the density of the gray fog in the mysterious land will decrease. The haunted house owner or our world will become more powerful. By then, it will be much easier for the colonels and the others who are fighting in the core area.

“More importantly, when the density of the gray fog drops to a certain level, the mysterious land will not be able to break the boundary between illusion and reality and send the tickets to the real world. Unless something disastrous suddenly happens in our city, allowing negative emotions to accumulate, they will be able to send tickets again.”

While talking on the way back, Lin Yao learned a lot of information about the mysterious land.

However, just as he thought that he and the others would return safely to the haunted house, yet another obstacle blocked their way.

The first one to notice the enemy was Lin Yao, who was able to sense malice. Initially, he did not pay much attention to it, as all the freaks in the mysterious land had malice and were eyeing him and the others covetously.

It was just that most of the freaks watched them but did not do anything. However, the monster that he detected this time was different. The malice swept over them like a tidal wave.

“Enemy attack from the left!”

Everyone responded to Lin Yao’s shout right away. The elite soldiers with the shields stepped forward, and the others stepped back. A high-power searchlight was used to shine on the freak following Lin Yao’s instructions.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.

The light was like a torch. The fog melted and the cleared-up space was revealed before everyone’s eyes.

Everyone squinted, and a monster about 1.88 meters tall that was holding a sledgehammer in its hands appeared in front of them. The monster was very dirty, and rats were hovering under its feet. When everyone discovered its location, the monster spoke up. “80 yuan per hit. The first hit is free!”
