Chapter 176: Night Shadows 2

“They have struck again.” Someone shouted, and Fang Chongtian looked up.

“What’s going on?” The man asked in an annoyed voice.

He felt that he was on the verge of figuring something out, but the noise interrupted his thought process, causing his inspiration to disappear.

“The Night Shadows have reappeared.” The assistant said, and Fang Chongtian stood.

“Who did they kill?” He asked.

“Twenty-six base three remnants.”The assistant said and quickly continued.

“They apparently were cannibals.” He said, and Fang Chongtian frowned.

“Are there any clues?” He asked, but the assistant shook his head.

“No one saw or heard anything. The Night Shadows are true ghosts.”

“There is no such thing as ghosts.” Fang Chongtian argued, but the assistant didn’t agree.

After all, there were zombies and superpowers!

Who could prove that ghosts didn’t exist?

Thinking this, the assistant trembled and decided to be a good person.

’I really don’t want the Night Shadows to notice me.’ He thought, looking at Fang Chongtian with a meaningful expression.

’Should I quit my job?’ He wondered.

After all, the Fang family was not a good thing, and sooner or later, they would surely attract the Night Shadows.

Unfortunately, the assistant knew that switching jobs was not an option.

If he dared to do it, the Fang family would hunt him down and silence him before he could reveal their secrets to outsiders.

Realising this, the assistant lowered his head, his eyes glistening with tears.

’I can only hope that the Night Shadows are not indiscriminate. They should kill those who deserve to be killed and not implicate victims like me.’ He thought, putting himself in the place of a victim, but was he really?

Although he had not done anything that seriously defied morality, he had stood aside and watched the Fang family do reprehensible things.

In the large scheme of things, bystanders were sometimes more loathsome than perpetrators.

“Let Fang Jue send people to the scene.” Fang Chongtian instructed with a solemn expression.

Although it had been many months, he hadn’t forgiven the Night Shadows for killing his son and grandson.

“The deputy lord has already sent people.” The assistant said, and Fang Chongtian nodded.

However, he was no longer in the mood for research, so he closed his books and stood.

“I will wait for news at home.” He said.

…..

Similar to Fang Chongtian, many leaders received the news and couldn’t help but be surprised.

They didn’t expect the Night Shadows to reappear and disappear like ghosts.

“Were there really no clues?” Chu Wan’er asked, her eyes narrowed into slits.

“People are saying it’s the work of ghosts.” Ouyang Jun said, but Chu Wan’er sneered.

She had lived more than ten years in the apocalypse in her previous life.

However, she had neither encountered a ghost nor met someone who had.

Considering this, she felt that the Night Shadows had an ability user who could hide their existence.

“It’s probably the spiritual ability.” She muttered, and Leng Han turned to look at her.

“Is the spiritual ability so powerful?” He asked, and Chu Wan’er nodded.

She had yet to encounter a spiritual ability user in the current life.

However, she had met one in her previous life, and she still remembered the experience.

“The two most common techniques of a spiritual ability user are scan and barrier.” She started and quickly continued.

“With the scan ability, they can see and hear everything within a certain distance. As for the barrier technique, they can stand next to you, and you wouldn’t notice them as long as their ability level is higher than yours.” She said.

“It sounds like a dangerous ability.” Yang Qian said, and the others agreed.

After all, who didn’t have secrets?

Who would feel safe with a spiritual ability user near them?

“Is there a way to block the spiritual ability?” Leng Han asked, but Chu Wan’er shook her head.

“The only way to protect yourself against a spiritual ability user is to have a higher superpower level than them.” She said with a solemn expression.

“I wonder what their level is.” Ouyang Jun said.

“I am afraid it’s level three.” Chu Wan’er said, and her lovers turned to look at her.

“Why do you think so?” Yang Qian asked, and Chu Wan’er sighed before speaking.

“Among the dead, sixteen were level two ability users, seven were level one, and only three were ordinary survivors. Do you think a level two ability user can control such a group?” She asked, and the others fell silent with thoughtful expressions.

“Wan’er is right but…” Yang Qian started, but suddenly frowned.

“There aren’t many level three ability users in the base.” He said.

In the past few days, several ability users had absorbed purified crystal cores and advanced to level three.

However, none of the level three superpowers were spiritual ability users.

“You shouldn’t trust public information so much.” Leng Han admonished, and Chu Wan’er nodded.

Just like her, she was a mutated wood element ability user on the surface.

However, in truth, her wood mutation had nothing to do with the apocalypse and everything to do with her jade pendant space.

Most importantly, few spiritual ability users would dare to reveal the truth about their ability.

After all, everyone had a self-preservation instinct and knew to avoid trouble.

“What should we do if we find the spiritual ability user?” Yang Qian asked.

“Kill them.” Ouyang Jun immediately answered, and the others didn’t argue.

After all, they couldn’t afford to let an outsider find out about Chu Wan’er’s space.

“Killing them is the safest option.” Leng Han agreed and quickly continued.

“We also heard the rumours about the base three cannibals, but didn’t expect the Night Shadows to take action so quickly.” He said.

“Their deaths are well deserved.” Chu Wan’er said in a righteous voice.

She hated cannibals, and even if the Night Shadows had not killed the bunch, she would have found an opportunity to take them out.

“The Night Shadows did a righteous thing, but their ability to appear and disappear without leaving a trace is too terrifying. I am afraid they have become an eyesore to powerful people in the base.” Yang Qian said, and the others sighed but agreed.
