"When did I say I was going to let you go?" Yuan Mu Ye said coldly.

It was only then that the evil ghost realized he had been tricked.

Enraged, the evil ghost had no choice but to curse Yuan Mu Ye.

"Curse all you want. In a little while, even if you want to curse, you might not have the chance," Yuan Mu Ye said indifferently, then ignored them.

"Negative emotions from the evil ghost +999..."

In a short time, Yuan Mu Ye collected several thousand negative emotions, enough to buy props.

Without delay, Yuan Mu Ye immediately spent several thousand negative emotion points to purchase a Kongming Lantern (sky lantern).

He was somewhat surprised when he received the Kongming Lantern. He never expected that this thing would cost him several thousand negative emotion points.

But that's how the system always was. What could he do?

Yuan Mu Ye sighed helplessly, then asked the system how to use the Kongming Lantern.

The system told him that the Kongming Lantern could only be used at night.

Now, Yuan Mu Ye was completely exasperated.

"Are you kidding me? If I release the Kongming Lantern at night, wouldn't that attract a large number of evil ghosts? Even if I find the person, it would cause trouble!" Yuan Mu Ye said in a burst.

The system's tone remained calm: "Host, rest assured, the evil ghosts cannot see the Kongming Lantern."

"Really? Don't try to fool me!" Yuan Mu Ye found it a bit unbelievable. Unless those evil ghosts were blind, how could they not see it?

"Please do not doubt me, Host!" The system seemed a little displeased.

Hearing what the system said, Yuan Mu Ye didn't say anything more. He was afraid of angering the system. If he did, that guy would deduct his negative emotion points again. It wasn't easy to get negative emotion points now, so he had to restrain his emotions.

Since it wasn't dark yet, he could only do other things first.

After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Mu Ye tried to contact Director Zhou and the others again.

Fortunately, this time the call went through.

Soon, Director Zhou's voice came from the phone.

"Deputy Director Yuan, are you back?" Director Zhou's voice was very soft, as if he was in a very hidden place, afraid of being heard if he spoke too loudly.

Yuan Mu Ye grunted in acknowledgement and said, "I'm back. Where are you now? I'll come find you."

"You shouldn't come here. There are evil ghosts everywhere," Director Zhou said seriously.

"Director Zhou, what are you talking about? Do you want me to back down? Besides, how could I just stand by and watch something happen to you? Tell me the address!"

Yuan Mu Ye said anxiously.

He knew that something must have happened to Director Zhou's side.

Director Zhou hesitated at first, but after Yuan Mu Ye pressed him, he finally told him.

After learning the address, Yuan Mu Ye didn't dare delay and went over immediately. In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at the place. Sure enough, as Director Zhou had said, there were evil ghosts all around.

The evil ghosts clearly knew that there were people in this place, so they stayed here.

If Yuan Mu Ye went over openly like this, he would definitely be discovered by those evil ghosts. It wasn't that he was afraid of those evil ghosts, but he was worried that attracting those evil ghosts would cause unnecessary trouble. He came to find Director Zhou mainly to understand the situation and didn't want to confront those evil ghosts head-on.

At this time, Ghost Advisor seemed to see through his thoughts and suddenly said, "Master, how about I go out and lure them away?"

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye immediately nodded. It would naturally be best if Ghost Advisor could lure all those evil ghosts away.

"Okay!"

Ghost Advisor immediately emerged from the magical artifact and went to lure the evil ghosts away.

In just a moment, all the evil ghosts were lured away by Ghost Advisor.

Just as Yuan Mu Ye was about to go over, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. He thought he had been discovered by an evil ghost and turned around vigilantly, only to see a familiar face.

It was the girl from last time.

The girl looked at Yuan Mu Ye calmly and said lightly, "You're finally back!"

Yuan Mu Ye was taken aback, then asked the girl, "What are you doing here?"

"Otherwise? If I wasn't here, those people would probably be dead already," the girl said calmly.

The "those people" she was talking about were undoubtedly Director Zhou and the others.

Hearing what the girl said, Yuan Mu Ye realized that the evil ghosts were just wandering around and not searching because someone was protecting Director Zhou and the others.

"Then I'll thank you on their behalf," Yuan Mu Ye said, looking at the girl.

Although he didn't know the girl's true identity yet, he had already guessed a thing or two.

The girl didn't say much, just said, "Alright, don't bother with the pleasantries. Go find them quickly!"

After speaking, the girl took Yuan Mu Ye to find Director Zhou and the others.

Director Zhou and the others were hiding in a dark, cramped basement. Yuan Mu Ye took a look. There were about forty or fifty people, including several team leaders, but they were all injured.

When Qi Feng saw Yuan Mu Ye, he seemed to have seen the person who was their only hope, dragging his injured leg and walking up to him. His voice was a little choked as he said, "You're finally back. If you hadn't come back, we might have all died here."

Yuan Mu Ye had known Qi Feng for so long, but this was the first time he had seen him like this.

Qi Feng didn't cry even when their Seventh Supernatural Squad had an accident, but now he was as aggrieved as a child.

But it was understandable. After all, just a few days ago, Yun City was still very lively, but now, Yun City was shrouded in Yin energy. The streets were lifeless, and not a single living person could be seen.

Anyone would feel this way if they were in this situation.

Yuan Mu Ye gently patted Qi Feng on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry."

Qi Feng nodded. Now, he completely trusted Yuan Mu Ye.

Because other than that, he had no other choice.

"Director Zhou, is this all that's left of us?" Yuan Mu Ye asked with a serious expression.

Director Zhou sighed helplessly and said, "I don't know how many people are left. We scattered on the first day the evil ghosts attacked the city."

Speaking of this, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Although Director Zhou also wanted to protect Yun City, his abilities were limited, and he couldn't deal with so many evil ghosts.

Now they were either dead or injured, and only this many people were left, so Director Zhou didn't dare to act rashly.
