The gaunt ghost, hearing the noise, abruptly raised its head.

  Surprisingly, its wrinkled, bloodless face wasn't scary at all.

  Instead, a glimmer of hope shone in its beady eyes, and glistening tears welled up, swirling in their sockets.

  "Finally!"

  "Finally someone... recognizes that I'm a ghost!"

  "I'm freaking!"

  The gaunt ghost wanted to howl at the sky, venting all the grievances it had suffered lately!

  Heaven knows what it had been through.

  Every day, it saw different kinds of people.

  Without exception, they didn't take it seriously.

  Every human greeted it warmly, and some overzealous ones even rolled up their sleeves, ready to take it on.

  If the broadcast didn't repeatedly remind people not to attack the staff, someone might have landed a few good punches.

  This had completely messed with the gaunt ghost's mind. Late at night, it would go to the water's edge, look at its reflection, and stroke its face, wondering if it had lost its charm.

  Only now, in front of these two, did it feel like its glory days had returned!

  "Little cuties, as a reward for seeing through my true identity, I'll treat you well!" the gaunt ghost cackled, springing into the air like it had springs in its feet, heading towards the two exorcists.

  "Ryan, you take the left, I'll take the right!" Henry said sternly.

  "Okay!" Ryan immediately moved to the left, already pinching out a series of spiritual seals, condensing a three-foot-long sword aura at his fingertips.

  Henry took out a talisman. After injecting spiritual energy to activate it, countless holy light burst out, rushing towards the gaunt ghost.

  "Boom!"

  The holy light struck the gaunt ghost, instantly enveloping it in a ball of lightning.

  The gaunt ghost screamed. Wherever the holy light touched its body, it turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated!

  Ryan arrived right after, using all his strength to send the sword aura straight through the gaunt ghost's chest!

  The gaunt ghost suffered heavy blows in succession.

  But what hurt even more than the physical pain was the fragile little heart within!

  Boo-hoo!

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  When it met normal people, no one took it seriously.

  It finally met someone who did take it seriously, and just when it was about to show its power, it realized these were two young people who didn't play fair.

  They didn't even say hello before unleashing their ultimate moves!

  "You just wait!"

  "I'm going to call for backup!"

  Seeing it couldn't beat the two, the gaunt ghost immediately retreated, running towards the town's ancestral hall!

  "Call as many as you can! I'll take on ten!" Henry roared to the sky, extremely excited.

  Ryan felt the same surge of excitement.

  After ten years of hard training, he finally had a chance to use everything he had learned!

  "Holy crap, is this the right way to experience a haunted house?"

  Just as the two were immersed in fantasies of achieving fame and success, a surprised voice interrupted their thoughts.

  The tourists who had come in with them had reached the edge of town and happened to see the battle between humans and ghosts.

  They were all dumbfounded, a big question mark rising in their minds.

  So that's how you play in a haunted house!

  After a long time, someone finally reacted, running back while shouting, "Help! Someone's assaulting the actors in the haunted house! Is anyone in charge?"

  Henry's expression froze. He took out a stack of talismans and floated them in front of the tourists, sticking one on each of their foreheads with lightning speed, one on the left and one on the right.

  "Ryan, I've put a calming charm on each of them. When they wake up, they'll forget what they just saw!" Henry said. "Let's continue our great mission!"

  As for the one who had already run away, Henry planned to give him another charm after dealing with this gathering place for ghosts.

  Ryan nodded and said, "Let's go!"

  The two advanced side by side, crossing the village entrance of the town and entering the town along the main road.

  After entering the village, the two stood back to back, watching different directions, trying to make sure there were no blind spots.

  At the same time, countless powerful auras were awakening in the town.

  Pairs of scarlet eyes bloomed in the darkness, staring at the two who had entered the village.

  Some of the powerful beings, after seeing that they were two exorcists with low cultivation, closed their eyes and ignored them.

  Let the younger generation in the village deal with this little thing.

  This place was not only full of spiritual energy, but also full of ghost energy, comparable to the legendary Underworld.

  They had to seize every minute and every second to cultivate, striving to become ghost emperors as soon as possible.

  Ten minutes on stage requires ten years of practice off stage.

  If they didn't have these decades of hard work, how could they make a shining debut in front of all the ghosts as ghost emperors one day in the future?

  The two continued forward and soon arrived at an ancient well.

  A long-haired female ghost slowly climbed out of the well.

  An old man with four big mouths walked out not far away.

  "You take the woman, I'll take the old guy!" Henry said.

  "Henry, can't you phrase it differently?" Ryan said dissatisfiedly, muttering, "When you say it like that, people will think we're just bullying the weak and elderly!"

  Despite his dissatisfaction, Ryan quickly prepared for the upcoming battle.

  But they both felt that these two ghosts in front of them were a bit strange.

  "Hehe!" The long-haired female ghost smiled charmingly, her beauty bewitching the soul, exhaling softly, and said, "Very well."

  The four big mouths on the old man were licking their lips.

  The stomach shouted, "Brother, you can't trick me again this time! You keep telling me about roasted human feet! I have to eat them this time!"

  The left and right hands also got excited and shouted, "Roasted human feet! Roasted human feet!"

  The old man nodded, staring at the two brothers' feet.

  The two brothers subconsciously looked at their feet, wondering what the old man was looking at.

  Could he be admiring their new shoes?

  That must be it. These were the new Adidas they had just bought. The salesman said they were the new spring models that even the president was wearing!

  As long as you dress well enough, even the ghosts will give you a second look on the road!

  "Charge!"

  The two brothers struck a pose, showing off for a moment, then suddenly remembered their task. They roared and rushed up, one on the left and one on the right.

  The long-haired female ghost and the old man also rushed up.

  "Die!" The long-haired female ghost screamed.

  The four mouths on the old man were roaring.

  "For the freedom of roasted human feet!"
