I Can Farm Attributes From Ghosts! - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Silent Darkness

‘Car racing? What car racing? You guys are saving people. I’m going to save people too!’

It was just that one of them was treating patients, while the other was exorcising evil spirits to save people.

Brian gloomily took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

Vroom!

The cigarette was lit and the car sped up into the road.

“Hey! Lady in high heels with big breasts and no brains, you must hold on!”

The bright headlights pierced through the darkness and the car drove into the distance!

…

In an abandoned building ten kilometers away from the city.

It was still evening but the scenery was as dark as night.

In fact, the view here was even darker than at night!

In the darkness, there were mixed voices and screams. The scene sounded very chaotic!

“Who! Who’s there?”

“Don’t scare me, I’m timid.”

“Oh my god! It’s real. There’s really something here. I saw something flash past!”

“There’s a ghost! A ghost stepped on my foot!”

Hearing everyone’s screams, Victor turned on his powerful flashlight.

Everyone knew that a normal flashlight could illuminate a radius of ten meters, but a powerful flashlight could illuminate a radius of a hundred meters.

The problem now was that Victor was holding a custom-made powerful flashlight, which should have a better illumination effect than the previous two. However, although the flashlight had obviously been adjusted to its maximum power, the light it emitted was almost negligible.

Through the faint electric light from his hand, he could vaguely see a black shadow lurking in the darkness. Its small green eyes were staring straight at the group of humans who had intruded into its territory and its mouth was making grinding sounds, which sounded very scary.

Victor breathed a sigh of relief when he saw what it looked like.

“Hehe! Everyone, don’t be afraid! It’s just a big rat. Watch me!”

A big rat? This thing was almost like a fat cat.

Victor expertly aimed and fired, killing the big rat with one shot.

Under the dim light, the silhouettes of everyone gradually appeared.

He had to start from the six members of the paranormal team. He did not know why they were crazy enough to come to this strange place and explore on their own recklessly. In the end, the six of them could not get out after entering. Fortunately, he had sent Celia a message asking for help before his phone went off.

Now, even Victor and the rest of the rescue team were trapped in this terrifying place. Everyone tried to find a way out, but they could not.

Fortunately, with the help of Celia, there were no casualties among the people who had been trapped here for the entire day!

Perhaps it was for safety reasons, or perhaps it was because they were afraid that people would get lost in the darkness, more than ten armed soldiers formed a human wall and surrounded a few panicked young men and women!

What was worthy of praise was that Celia, who was in the middle, did not panic like the other students. Instead, she seemed a little calmer.

She was trying to calm this group of students who had been scared out of their wits—her club members!

“Everyone, please don’t panic. The ones protecting us are the special forces that are in charge of dealing with special events. They are experts in dealing with supernatural events. They will definitely be able to lead everyone out. Please rest assured!”

As if she thought her words were more assuring, Celia pulled Captain Victor, who was standing guard beside her, and gave him a wink.

“Hey! Captain Victor, don’t you think so?”

“Of course! We will definitely bring everyone out safely. However, in order to protect everyone better, please cooperate with us!”

Seeing the determined look in Captain Victor’s eyes, the helplessness in everyone’s hearts subsided.

After the commotion, everyone calmed down.

What they did not know was that Victor was not as confident as he appeared to be. Although they were indeed members of the special department, they were just ordinary members who investigated intelligence and dealt with the adverse effects of the subsequent paranormals.

To put it bluntly, they were the intelligence department and logistics personnel of the Special Department. Of course, they could deal with ordinary situations, but if they were to deal with supernatural events independently, that would be pure nonsense!

He knew how capable his own people were!

If not for Celia’s status, he would never have meddled in such matters. He would only meddle with the elite members of the special department.

It was too late to say anything now. At this time, they absolutely could not affect their morale.

Since they were already here, the most important thing now was to think of a way to save these people.

This was something worth rejoicing over! They had already sent one of their team members out to seek help. Hopefully, they could bring the news out!

This proved that the youth was right. The effect of the child’s urine was indeed not bad. However, it was a pity that they could only gather a little bit of it. It was also because of that little bit that the team member was able to successfully break out of the crisis.

“It’s a pity that the secret weapon has been used up. It’s all these brats’ fault for not keeping themselves clean!”

“What secret weapon?”

Celia heard him mutter and turned back to ask.

Under everyone’s suspicious gazes, Victor awkwardly hid the empty military canteen behind his back.

“Cough, cough! That’s just a special type of water. It’s nothing much. Let’s continue forward!”

Although his actions were a little strange, the people in the depths of the danger did not think too much about it. They bent their backs and groped forward!

Something seemed to be stopping them from moving forward. After a while, they returned to their original spot.

Before everyone could react, something strange happened!

Boom—

A loud explosion was heard and the originally weak flashlight was suddenly extinguished. The surroundings fell into darkness again and a strange evil aura began to spread.

The entire world turned pitch-black. It was as quiet as still water. The silence made one’s hair stand on end!

Without the light, the defense line in the hearts of the members of the paranormal club was broken again.

The quiet darkness suddenly became chaotic. Some people were shouting that something had crawled onto their feet, some were crying loudly, and more people were huddled together in fear. If it were not for Victor’s soldiers tightly surrounding this group of people, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause.

Celia’s and Victor’s voices rose in the darkness as they tried once again to calm these people who had become frightened.

“Don’t panic. The flashlight just malfunctioned.”

“Hey, hey, hey! Don-don’t run around…”

But this time, no one listened to them. Everyone was in a complete mess.

“Jejejeje!”

Suddenly, a chilling laughter rang out.

…

After the laughter, everything returned to normal.

At this moment, a strange scene that made one’s scalp tingle appeared.

All the sounds disappeared without a trace.

More than twenty living people disappeared without a trace, as if no one had ever appeared!

Silence. Dead silence!
