Chapter 26: Chance Encounter! Paper Man’s Discovery! Thunderstrike!
The time had already passed 4 PM.
Lin Feng was still rushing quickly toward Xiaofeng Mountain.
The distance from here to Xiaofeng Mountain wasn’t short. Lin Feng estimated that he could arrive around midnight.
At this moment, Tongtong suddenly appeared.
“Tongtong?” Lin Feng asked.
This was the first time Tongtong appeared on her own initiative.
Then Lin Feng saw that Tongtong’s red dress quickly turned redder.
Immediately, Tongtong lunged forward, and her red dress expanded, enveloping Lin Feng inside.
“What’s going on?” Through Tongtong’s red dress, Lin Feng seemed to see a flash of red light several hundred meters away.
Of course, it might not have been red light, because Tongtong’s dress was already red.
—
A few seconds later, Tongtong’s red dress disappeared, then the hem of Tongtong’s dress quickly turned white and slipped back into the bow.
“A powerful ghost passed by?” Lin Feng looked in the direction where the red light had flashed.
Tongtong had no intention of coming out to explain.
Even though Lin Feng had called her out, since she didn’t speak, Lin Feng had no idea what had happened.
“Maybe it’s that ghost mentioned in the group… If it is, then it’s perfect. Now that I’ve encountered it and avoided it, the chance of encountering it again is much lower,” Lin Feng thought.
He couldn’t help but feel more satisfied with Tongtong.
This time, Tongtong’s appearance was timely, and she had successfully helped him avoid the other party.
—
Lin Feng continued on his way.
However, after only half an hour, Lin Feng encountered a few more people.
Among them, the leader was a middle-aged woman.
“Are you a ghost controller?” the middle-aged woman sized up Lin Feng and asked.
“Yes,” Lin Feng replied.
The middle-aged woman said, “So young. You’ve only recently left school, haven’t you? Hurry back to the city, don’t wander around. It’s very dangerous outside the city now.”
“Alright.” Lin Feng’s answer was concise.
There was no need to waste time arguing with the other party!

“Did you see… Never mind, if you had really seen it, you wouldn’t still be alive. Alright, go back to the city quickly.” after saying this, the middle-aged woman quickly left with her group.
Lin Feng noticed that the direction they were heading in was the same as where the red light had disappeared.
“Are they tracking that powerful ghost?” Lin Feng thought.
—
He only paid brief attention to it before putting the matter out of his mind.
The direction of the red light and the middle-aged woman’s group was not the same as Lin Feng’s direction.
Lin Feng continued his journey toward Xiaofeng Mountain.
—
“What could it be?”
Meanwhile, in Liucheng…
Inside a warehouse with gold-painted walls, a woman who looked to be in her early twenties but had an exceptionally curvy figure was standing, fretting over the many items in the warehouse.
In the warehouse, several red paper men were rummaging around.
“Hey, President Yan, could you ask your paper men to be more careful? Some of the things in here, if released, could cause major chaos.” an elderly man with graying hair in front of the woman said helplessly.
“Major chaos? Just these?” The woman, addressed as President Yan, walked into the warehouse, picked up a doll, and squeezed it hard.
The elderly man’s eyelid twitched at the sight.
“See, it’s scared, doesn’t even dare to come out. Such a useless ghost, what chaos could it cause? If it wasn’t somewhat useful against certain special ghosts, I would have killed it and given this doll to a child to play with.” President Yan casually tossed the doll onto a shelf and spoke indifferently.
The elderly man looked on, clearly exasperated.
“After searching for so long and still not finding anything suspicious… City Lord of Liucheng, your so-called treasure vault isn’t all that impressive. Forget it, I won’t search anymore. I’ll just wait for it to come after me,” President Yan said, then turned to leave the warehouse.
However…
Those few red paper men continued their search.
—
“Chasing it down is certainly futile. We’ll have to wait for it to come to us. Oh, right, I saw a promising young talent recently. I’ll go check on him.”
After leaving the warehouse, President Yan went to a villa at the boundary between the inner and outer city, then extended her hand and threw out a paper airplane.
The paper airplane quickly flew to the residential area and then rapidly transformed into a red paper man.
“Huh? He left the city? Does he have a death wish?”
The red paper man quickly gathered some information.
But soon after, President Yan was shocked by another piece of news.
“What? Already at the Hazard Grade?”
In the villa, President Yan was so startled that she sat up straight from the bathtub.
She quickly rinsed off, wrapped herself in a towel, and went to the living room, where she took out an old-fashioned laptop.
“Let me use my authority to check his account contribution point transaction records… 1,200 contribution points… Took on four missions to eliminate hazard-grade ghosts, and completed them all?” Soon, President Yan had uncovered a wealth of information.
Her beautiful eyes were already filled with surprise.
“Not a psychic… Yet with such rapid growth… Truly extraordinary!” President Yan’s eyes sparkled.
“But, isn’t he afraid of encountering that ghost while wandering outside the city?” she wondered again.
With that thought, President Yan took out her communicator and dialed a number.
“President.” Soon, a female voice came through the communicator.
If Lin Feng was here, he would recognize it as the voice of that middle-aged woman.
“While you’re tracking, keep an eye out for a fifteen-year-old boy named Lin Feng. If you see him, have someone escort him back to the city to avoid him running into that ghost. If he refuses, just let me know his location,” President Yan said.
“A fifteen-year-old boy? President… I ran into him just over an hour ago. He looked very sunny… Could that be him?” The middle-aged woman described Lin Feng’s characteristics.
“That’s him!” President Yan instantly confirmed.
“Then that’s fine. His direction doesn’t match that of the ghost. Should I send someone to find him?” the middle-aged woman asked.
“Different directions? Then no need. You continue the chase; I still haven’t found what it’s after,” President Yan replied.
“Yes, President!”
—
The night was gradually deepening.
Under the cover of night, Lin Feng moved quickly.
With his physical attributes three times those of an ordinary person, his stamina and speed were naturally much higher than average.
Soon, Lin Feng approached Xiaofeng Mountain.
He followed the forest trail, moving with great caution.
“The hazard-grade ghost is still here.”
From a distance, Lin Feng could see the candlelight on Xiaofeng Mountain.
This indicated that the hazard-grade ghost was still up there.
“Where is the ghost controller?” Lin Feng began searching with his eyes.
“To avoid alerting the ghost on the mountain, they certainly wouldn’t go up. If they stay off the mountain but still want the best vantage point… Most likely, they’re over there!”
Lin Feng looked towards a small hill below Xiaofeng Mountain!
That small hill had an excellent view.
If it were Lin Feng, he would definitely set up an ambush there!
Lin Feng quietly approached.
—
“Strange, it’s been over a day, they accepted the mission but haven’t come to resolve it. This might not have been taken by Lin Feng. Perhaps a ghost controller in the city accidentally took it. Standing guard here is so boring. If they don’t come by tomorrow… this mission will expire and reappear. I’ll just take it and solve it myself. But, Old Guo and the others should be close to finding Lin Feng by now, right? With their strength, killing Lin Feng shouldn’t be difficult!”
At this moment, on that small hill, the ghost controller named He Hai was munching on a biscuit while watching the candlelight on the mountain.
In his arms, he had already taken out a burial robe.
“As expected, they’re here.”
He Hai hadn’t noticed that Lin Feng had quietly approached from behind and overheard He Hai’s words.
Lin Feng was now certain.
These three ghost controllers definitely intended to kill him!
Lin Feng held a nail in his hand.
Soon, Lin Feng was within ten meters of He Hai.
And He Hai… still hadn’t noticed.
“Huh?”
At this moment, He Hai noticed that the burial robe in his arms was changing.
“I’ve been discovered. Tongtong, now’s the time.”
Lin Feng shouted and charged forward.
Tongtong also instantly rushed out of the bow.
As soon as Tongtong rushed out, an old ghostly woman appeared from He Hai’s burial robe. A withered hand reached out, one hand aiming for Tongtong, and the other reaching for Lin Feng.
He Hai’s ghost spirit had launched a counterattack!
Tongtong had already transformed into her red dress form, directly blocking both ghostly hands of the old ghostly woman.
However, the surrounding environment had already begun to change.
This indicated that the old ghostly woman had already started to unfold her ghost domain.
The ghost controller was actually a weak link, but for a level 3 ghost controller, this link wasn’t that deadly.
Because as long as the ghost spirit unfolds its ghost domain, it can hide the ghost controller within it.
But…
Tongtong seemed to have anticipated this move, using her own ghost domain to counter it, thus preventing He Hai from entering the old ghostly woman’s ghost domain.
Then…
Lin Feng charged forward. In He Hai’s terrified gaze, a nail was driven down.
In the next second…
He Hai let out a miserable scream and collapsed to the ground.
After Tong Tong blocked the old ghostly woman and delayed her ghost domain, Lin Feng’s thunderous strike directly took down He Hai, who was not a weak ghost controller!
