Chapter 255: Reunion

Since no effective methods have been made known to repel the ghosts, they were still using the most primitive methods of carrying torch around. A few soldiers were responsible for staying at the edge to carry torches and would be the forefront when facing those powerful ghosts.

The Live Stream Horror Survival Game did sell some things that could repel ghosts, but it required survival points.

Even if there were some players among the army or the higher ups, they might not be willing to hand over their survival points for the sake of others. At most, they would use it for themselves.

After all, these props were more useful than torches.

But many of them were only one time use and was not very cost effective. Well, it would also depend on the players themselves, though.

"Huh?" Huo Yingsu glanced at the two ghosts and then said, "They’re contracted with me, so torches are not effective against them."

The Yang energy within torches were limited and after a period of training, the original Huo Yingsu was already considered rank 2 ghost. Even without the contract with her, those torches were no longer useful against her.

Added with the contract....

Well, it was safe to say that these two ghosts could basically roam around as most methods against ghosts were no longer that effective.

"So they can also be so powerful." Ye Lin looked at the two ghosts in understanding.

Yu Zhixue also has some interest. After all, if she wanted to, she could also follow the same path as Huo Yingsu. But after she thought things through, she preferred to do things on her own instead of relegating it to the ghosts. In that situation, it’s better for her to follow the other path instead of contracting ghosts.

"Of course they are." Huo Yingsu smiled when she looked at the two ghosts.

Considering her current condition, Huo Yingsu felt that contracting ghosts was simply the best option for her.

"As for hiding..."

Swish!

The two ghosts moved towards Huo Yingsu’s wheelchair and disappeared inside, perfectly blending into the item.

Even Ye Lin’s Yin and Yang’s eyes couldn’t quite pinpoint their location anymore. His eyes widened in disbelief. "How did you do that?"

"It’s called ghost possession," Huo Yingsu explained unhurriedly. "Ghosts can also possess items aside from possessing humans. As long as they blend well, it’ll be difficult to find them. However, the ghosts have to be at least rank 2 to perform this action."

Ye Lin nodded in understanding and then his face changed. "In that case, is there any ghosts nearby that possess the items near us?"

The others: "..."

Thinking about it, it felt a bit eerie to think that their entire movements have been watched over by ghosts...

Huo Yingsu looked at Ye Lin strangely.

"Did I say something wrong?" Ye Lin asked with some hesitation. He felt that this is a valid question, right?

"First of all, Yu Zhihao and Han Yichen followed the path of pure Yang. Unless the ghosts are at least two to three times stronger than them, they would avoid them like plague," Huo Yingsu said with her lips twitched.

Because even the contracted ghosts like the original Huo Yingsu and Lu Liang were also avoiding Han Yichen like plague.

They were not willing to get close to him in the slightest bit.

"Secondly, Yin and Yang’s eyes would be able to see wild ghosts that enter item possession as long as you’re careful enough. The reason why you can’t see Huo Ying and Lu Liang is because my wheelchair is filled with Yin energy due to my own use and contamination."

Ye Lin glanced at Huo Yingsu’s wheelchair and he had to say that it was true.

In this environment filled with ghosts, for people like Huo Yingsu and Yu Zhixue, things that came too close to them would be tainted with Yin energy. Considering that there were many items that had been tainted with Yin energy in this world...

It was obvious why Ye Lin couldn’t sense the two ghosts so quickly.

"Thirdly, most ghosts might not be able to maintain their possession form in front of me and Zhixue Jie," Huo Yingsu continued with a helpless smile.

Han Yichen thought about the numerous ghosts that appeared along the way when he first brought Huo Yingsu over and his lips twitched slightly. "That’s true."

Those ghosts couldn’t wait to approach Huo Yingsu so that she could absorb their Yin energy and allow them to leave this world.

After all, not all ghosts were willing to maintain their ghosts’ form and many also didn’t want it. All they wanted was to leave this world at the time when they needed it. And for some reasons, they seemed to like Huo Yingsu very much.

"Ah, so ghosts come to you when they could?" Yu Zhihao’s eyes widened in shock.

"Yes."

At this moment, Yu Zhihao silently told himself that he should stay as far away as possible from Huo Yingsu. While he was not afraid of ghosts, he didn’t want to be entangled with them either.

The thought of being chased around by ghosts was simply too terrifying.

"Tsk." Yu Zhixue saw her brother like this and felt that it was a bit infuriating. Why does other people’s brothers were so sweet and nice but her own brother looked like he always needed a beating?

"Okay, the army is here. Let’s go out." Han Yichen saw that the others have almost finished packing up, so they should go out.

"Yes!"

Everyone started moving and since the ghosts couldn’t appear, Han Yichen thoughtfully pushed Huo Yingsu’s wheelchair out while she herself had a bag on her lap.

Some people looked in their direction when they saw the unusual sight.

Some of their gazes were filled with mockery and some others were filled with pity and sympathy. After all, it was quite obvious that it would be difficult for those who were sick, disabled, old, and young to survive in the apocalypse.

Huo Yingsu ignored their gazes and her eyes glanced in one direction as the corner of her lips curled up slightly.

"Found you."
