The time was already past 4 PM.
Nathan Lin was still rapidly heading towards Little Venerable Mountain. The distance was not short, and he estimated that he would arrive around midnight.
Just then, unexpectedly, Coco appeared.
"Coco?"
Nathan Lin asked.
This was the first time Coco had actively appeared.
Then, Nathan Lin saw her red skirt quickly turning red, and she suddenly lunged towards him, enveloping him with her red skirt.
"What's going on?"
Through the red skirt, Nathan Lin seemed to see a flash of red light hundreds of meters away.
Of course, it might not have been red light because Coco's red skirt itself was red.
...
A few seconds later, Coco's red skirt disappeared.
Then, her skirt rapidly turned white, and she returned to the bowtie.
"Was it a powerful ghost passing by?"
Nathan Lin looked in the direction where the red light had disappeared.
Coco didn't offer any explanation.
She just remained silent after Nathan Lin summoned her. Because she didn't speak, Nathan Lin couldn't tell what had happened.
"Could it be the ghost the group was talking about? If so, then it's just as well. Now that I've encountered it and avoided it, the chances of encountering it again will be lower," Nathan Lin thought.
He couldn't help but feel even more satisfied with Coco. She had appeared at just the right moment and successfully avoided the ghost.
Nathan Lin continued on his way.
However, just half an hour later, Nathan Lin encountered a few people.
The leader was a middle-aged woman.
"Are you a Ghost Tamer?"
The middle-aged woman sized Nathan Lin up and asked.
"Yes."
Nathan Lin replied briefly.
The woman said, "You're so young, you must have just graduated from school. Go back to the city quickly. It's dangerous outside the city now."
"Okay."
Nathan Lin's answer was concise.
There was no need to waste time arguing with her.
"Have you seen... never mind, if you really had, you wouldn't be alive. Just go back to the city," the middle-aged woman said before quickly leaving with her group.
Nathan Lin noticed that they were heading in the direction where the red light had disappeared.
"Are they tracking that powerful ghost?"
Nathan Lin thought.
He didn't dwell on it for long, as their direction was not the same as his.
Nathan Lin continued on his way towards Little Venerable Mountain.
"What could it be?"
Meanwhile, inside the Willow City, in a warehouse with walls painted in gold, a woman in her twenties, with a particularly fiery figure, stood there, troubled, staring at the various items in the warehouse.
Several red paper men were rummaging through things inside the warehouse.
"Hey, President Yan, could you tell your paper men to be more careful? Some of the things in here, if released, could cause chaos," a white-haired elder said helplessly in front of the woman.
"Chaos? With these?"
The woman, called President Yan, walked into the warehouse, picked up a cloth doll, and squeezed it hard.
The elder's eyelids twitched.
"See, it's scared. It doesn't even dare to come out. How can such a weak ghost cause any chaos? If it weren't for its use against some special ghosts, I'd just kill it. This cloth doll could be given to children to play with, don't you think?"
President Yan tossed the cloth doll onto a shelf casually.
The elder looked at her helplessly.
"We've been searching for so long and still haven't found anything suspicious. Willow City Lord, your so-called treasure vault isn't that great. Forget it, let's stop searching. We'll wait for it to come to us," President Yan said before turning and leaving the warehouse.
However...
The red paper men kept searching.
"Won't we catch it? I guess we'll have to wait for it to come to us. By the way, there was a good prospect I saw last time. Let's see how he is doing," President Yan thought as she left the warehouse.
She arrived at a villa on the border between the inner and outer cities of Willow City and threw out a paper airplane.
The paper airplane quickly flew to the residential area, then transformed into a red paper man.
"Wait... He left the city? Is he tired of living?"
The red paper man quickly gathered some information.
However, not long after, President Yan was stunned by another piece of news.
"What? Already reached the Dangerous-Grade?"
President Yan sat up abruptly from her bathtub.
She quickly cleaned herself off, wrapped herself in a towel, and rushed to the living room, pulling out an old laptop.
"Let me check his account's contribution point transaction records... 1,200 contribution points... he's completed four tasks to eliminate Dangerous-Grade ghosts?"
President Yan quickly found a lot of information.
Her beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.
"Not a Spirit Conduit... and yet such a rapid growth speed... Truly impressive!"
Her eyes gleamed.
"But if he's out here in the wilderness, isn't he worried about encountering that ghost?"
She thought.
With that, President Yan took out her communicator and dialed a number.
"President."
A woman's voice quickly answered. If Nathan Lin were there, he would recognize the voice. It was the same middle-aged woman's voice.
"While tracking, keep an eye out for a fifteen-year-old boy named Nathan Lin. If you see him, send him back to the city to avoid him running into that ghost. If he refuses, let me know his location."
President Yan said.
"Fifteen-year-old boy? President... I ran into someone who looked very cheerful, but I didn't know if it was him..."
The middle-aged woman described Nathan Lin's features.
"It's him!"
President Yan confirmed immediately.
"Then it's true. His direction isn't the same as the ghost's. Do you want me to send someone to find him?"
The middle-aged woman asked.
"The direction is different? Then there's no need. Keep tracking, I still haven't found what it's looking for."
President Yan replied.
"Understood, President!"
The night grew deeper.
Under the darkening sky, Nathan Lin's speed increased.
With his body at three times that of an average human, his stamina and speed were naturally much faster than that of an ordinary person.
Soon, Nathan Lin approached Little Venerable Mountain.
He moved cautiously through the woods.
"The Dangerous-Grade ghost is still here."
From a distance, Nathan Lin saw the flicker of candlelight on Little Venerable Mountain.
This meant the Dangerous-Grade ghost was still up there.
"Where's the Ghost Tamer?"
Nathan Lin scanned the area.
"They must be avoiding disturbing the ghost on the mountain, so they wouldn't climb up, but they need the best vantage point... It's probably over there!"
Nathan Lin looked toward a small hill at the base of Little Venerable Mountain.
The view from there was excellent.
If it were Nathan Lin...
He would definitely ambush from that spot!
Nathan Lin quietly made his way over.
"Strange, it's been over a day, and the task hasn't been completed yet. This place might not even be the one Nathan Lin picked, maybe a Ghost Tamer from the city picked it by mistake. Waiting here is so boring, if he doesn't show up tomorrow, I'll just take the task myself. However, George and the others should be waiting for Nathan Lin soon, right? With their strength, it won't be difficult for them to kill him!" said a Ghost Tamer named Roger, sitting on a hill, nibbling on a biscuit while watching the candlelight on the mountain.
He had already taken out a funeral robe.
"Found it."
Roger didn't realize Nathan Lin had quietly snuck up behind him and overheard his words.
Nathan Lin had confirmed it.
These three Ghost Tamers definitely wanted to kill him!
Nathan Lin's hand tightened around a nail.
Soon, Nathan Lin was just ten meters away from Roger.
But Roger... hadn't noticed yet.
"Eh?"
Just then, Roger noticed a change in the funeral robe in his arms.
"Discovered... Now, Coco, it's time!"
Nathan Lin shouted and charged forward.
At the same time, Coco instantly leaped out of the bowtie.
As Coco charged out, a ghostly old woman emerged from the funeral robe, reaching out her withered hands to grab Coco and Nathan Lin.
Roger's ghostly spirit launched a counterattack!
Coco had already switched to her red dress form and easily blocked the old woman's ghostly hands.
But the surroundings began to change.
This meant the ghostly old woman was expanding her Ghost Domain.
Ghost Tamers themselves were generally vulnerable, but for a third-level Ghost Tamer, this wasn't as dangerous.
As long as the Ghost Tamer's ghost spirit opens its Ghost Domain, the Ghost Tamer can be hidden inside it.
However...
It seemed Coco had anticipated this move. She used her own Ghost Domain to counter it, slowing the ghostly old woman's domain.
Then...
Nathan Lin rushed in, and with a thunderous strike, drove the nail straight into Roger.
The next second, Roger let out a horrifying scream and collapsed to the ground.
With Coco holding off the ghostly old woman and delaying her Ghost Domain, Nathan Lin's lightning-fast attack took down Roger, a powerful Ghost Tamer, in one strike!
"Mission complete, Ghost Spirit Coco gains 800 experience, 2 potential, 1 bond!"
"Your Ghost Spirit has reached Horror Grade (Level 4), and you gain a body enhancement (2x)."
The system's voice echoed repeatedly.
