Die, Replay, Repeat

Chapter 136

Fang Xiu's mind was reeling.

_'What level is the incident at Green Mountain Mental Hospital? S Class? Or higher?'_

The highest level of Specter events known to the world is S. There's no level set beyond S. If Green Mountain Mental Hospital exceeded S, it would bring a shock to the world.

Fang Xiu felt uneasy because if he kept thinking this way, the director of Green Mountain Mental Hospital, Zhou Qingfeng, must be a terrifying monster.

Suddenly, Fang Xiu remembered a time at the Investigation Bureau when Wang Dehai came to him, asking him to foresee something about the Pokers.

Wang Dehai mentioned the attack on Bai Qi, hinting at the Pokers' involvement.

Fang Xiu refused the foreseeing request, claiming that his ability was limited.

Now, Fang Xiu thought there might be a deep connection between the Pokers and Zhou Qingfeng.

Ace of Spades, who attacked Bai Qi, was very strong; even Yang Ming said he was no match for him. But that person ran away after Yang Ming's advancement, which was intriguing.

After thinking about the letter from Zhou Qingfeng, Fang Xiu pieced everything together.

Zhou Qingfeng had left a gift for Yang Ming in the hospital, but Yang Ming wasn't at the third tier yet, not qualified to receive the gift. So, the Pokers, related to Zhou Qingfeng, acted to use Bai Qi's death to stimulate Yang Ming's advancement.

Ultimately, they wanted a third-tier Yang Ming to enter the hospital.

Fang Xiu's special ability to see the Specters, in reality, helped him get into Zhou Qingfeng's office and find the letter. Without that, Fang Xiu would've been unaware of Zhou Qingfeng's plan like everybody else.

Fang Xiu decided to take Yang Ming to Green Mountain Mental Hospital after he dealt with Nightmare. He might be able to find the ultimate answer there.

While Fang Xiu was pondering, he suddenly felt dizzythere was a sharp pain in his neckfollowed by Yang Ming's angry shout, then darkness.

_'Did I die? How and when?'_

Fang Xiu didn't even see his killer.

"Yang Ming," Fang Xiu suddenly called out.

Yang Ming stopped, "What's wrong?"

"Protect me," Fang Xiu said. Yang Ming looked at Fang Xiu's calm face and seemed to understand. He nodded solemnly.

Fang Xiu didn't rely solely on Yang Ming. His silver hair grew wildly, spreading thin strands all around like spider webs, covering the area around him.

These strands acted as a warning net, detecting anyone approaching. Hidden in the fog and night, they were almost invisible.

After doing all this, the two continued on their way.

Suddenly, Fang Xiu felt something touched his hair.

"Ten o'clock!"

Yang Ming's shoes flashed with a red light, and he disappeared instantly, rushing toward the ten o'clock direction like a shooting star.

"It's you!" Soon, Yang Ming's angry voice was heard, followed by the sound of blades clashing.

The fight continued loudly.

Fang Xiu had a guess and immediately ran toward the fight.

When he got through the fog to the battlefield, he saw Yang Ming fighting Bai Qi.

Bai Qi was dominating the fight. He seemed different, as if he had become another person.

He was once cold and dominant, yet now he seemed wildly charming, with a crazy smile on his handsome face, his hair wildly dancing. His pale skin and thin body gave him a vampiric appearance under the moon.

Bai Qi seemed faster, too fast for Fang Xiu to see clearly, except during brief clashes with Yang Ming. Seeing the dark gold knife in Bai Qi's hand, Fang Xiu understood how he had died before. Bai Qi must have killed him with his ghostly speed.

Yang Ming, struggling against Bai Qi's current state, was forced to retreat step by step. Out of options, he resorted to verbal tactics.

"Bai Qi! Have you gone mad? Why are you attacking me?"

Bai Qi smirked, "Oh, isn't this Captain Yang? You seem off these days. I never knew you could be so weak."

Yang Ming's face darkened. "You're not Bai Qi! He would never say that. Who are you?"

"Heh, if I'm not Bai Qi, who am I then? By the way now that I've reached the third tier, I can finally feel and get to know my true self!"

Yang Ming thought for a moment and exclaimed, "Wait No! Your Spiritual Energy had gone out of control!"

Bai Qi's face darkened. "You're still so annoying."

"Come on, Little Bai. Entering the third tier so quickly and in this manic state? It's either your Spiritual Energy is getting out of control, or Nightmare has gotten into you."

"Don't call me Little Bai!" Bai Qi was furious, and his attacks became even more fierce.

"Alright, Little Bai."

"Ah!!"

Bai Qi seemed provoked, and his speed surged again. Six afterimages of him were soon formed, attacking Yang Ming from different directions.

Yang Ming was shocked and couldn't tell which one was real, desperately defending himself.

Caught off guard, he was still cut across the throat by a blade.

The two figures crossed paths. Bai Qi, looking very cool, appeared behind Yang Ming. He was holding the knife, the blade dripping with blood.

His charming smile looked even more eerie under the blood moon.

In contrast, Yang Ming had a cut on his neck, blood spurting out. His eyes widened in shock, and his hands clutched his neck. Silently, he fell to the ground with disbelief in his eyes.

Disappointment flashed in Bai Qi's eyes, but then he became excited again, saying, "My fast speed ability had awakened, and it is Extreme Speed now! I never knew the awakening would bring me such a huge leap in strength! Hahaha, Yang Ming! You deserve all this! You're inferior to me in every way, so why are you the captain? And you advanced to the third tier before me? Why do all the good things happen to you? What do you have besides dumb luck?"

Fang Xiu, watching from a distance, frowned at the sight.

_'So this is it? No way Even if Bai Qi had reached the third tier and gained Extreme Speed, Yang Ming shouldn't have been defeated so easily, right?'_

Just as Fang Xiu hesitated about whether to reset the game and try again, Yang Ming's body moved."
