The sudden voice of a man interrupted the female ghost. Instead of immediately turning around, the female ghost spoke to the tear-streaked little boy.

"Xiaokang, Mommy is going out for a moment. She'll be back soon. No matter what you hear, don't come out, okay?"

A gentle expression appeared on the face of the female ghost, warming the little boy's heart. Trusting and relying on his mother, he said nothing, asked nothing, and just nodded at the female ghost.

The female ghost transformed into a mass of Yin Qi and vanished inside the room. As she disappeared, the door slowly closed.

The room's lights returned to normal, no longer flickering, but Song Laoyao remained abnormal. He seemed to have gone mad, shouting and yelling as if engaged in a fight with someone.

The little boy didn't know what was happening to Song Laoyao, but he didn't bother with him. Instead, he crouched down, huddled in the corner, waiting for his mother to come and take him away.

His mother was outside, which made him feel somewhat reassured. However, he instinctively remained curled up in the corner, believing that waiting for his mother here was the safest option.

Outside, the female ghost looked at the man before her, expressionless and with ice-cold eyes.

Judging by appearance, the man seemed no older than twenty, a handsome young man emitting a strong power fluctuation despite his youthful age.

While observing her, the man did the same.

"Hehe, milky-white eyes. So, you're an evil spirit. No wonder there's such strong Yin Qi and resentment. I didn't expect to encounter such a big fellow while patrolling on this boring night." The man looked the female ghost up and down, laughing as he spoke.

Though he identified the female ghost as an evil spirit, he showed no signs of panic. On the contrary, he seemed unperturbed, confident in his own strength, as if capturing an evil spirit was not a particularly challenging task.

"I came back tonight to seek revenge on that beast. I don't want to involve others, so you better leave. Don't meddle in my affairs!" The woman's gaze was cold as she spoke.

The man chuckled and said, "Do you know about the police? I'm a cop, but not an ordinary one. I'm a Spirit Police. If you're going to kill someone, do you think the police should turn a blind eye?"

"Police?" The woman's emotions flared up as soon as the man mentioned this. The entwined Yin Qi around her suddenly boiled.

"I've endured a life worse than death with my child, and I haven't seen you do anything to him. Now that I want to use my own strength to kill that beast, you're stopping me!" The female ghost exclaimed angrily.

The man's expression remained unchanged despite the change in the female ghost's emotions.

"I don't know the grievances between you two, but my duty is to protect ordinary people. While you were alive, whatever disturbances happened between you two didn't concern me and were outside my jurisdiction. However, now that you're dead and possess powers beyond those of ordinary people, I can't let you harm the living."

The man's words made the female ghost's expression turn ugly. Her milky-white eyes emitted an invisible murderous intent.

She, as an evil spirit after death, indicated a heavy resentment before dying. Communicating with such entities was challenging. She didn't immediately act against the man, instead advising him to leave. One reason was that she sensed the man wasn't an easy opponent. Furthermore, she genuinely didn't want to involve the innocent.

However, the man's words triggered the resentment within her. While this resentment hadn't erupted yet, she understood that once it did, she would become uncontrollable.

"Do you really want to get involved in this matter?" The female ghost's voice was like ice, not only becoming colder in tone but also carrying a clear threat.

Sensing the threat in the female ghost's words, the man coldly smiled and asked, "Are you threatening me?"

"I am threatening you," the female ghost's response was straightforward. At this point, she had already decided to take action, ready to strike at the man at any moment.

The man, seemingly oblivious to the threat from the female ghost, spoke, "Sorry, but I don't take your threat seriously."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of sonic booms echoed from a distance.

Numerous figures swiftly approached the direction where the man was, some flying over rooftops, others sprinting on the ground. In the blink of an eye, several figures appeared behind the man.

"Deputy Squad Leader!"

After their arrival, they first saluted the man and then turned to look at the female ghost with serious expressions.

These sudden arrivals emitted weaker power fluctuations than the man. From their respectful greeting and attitude towards the man, it was evident that they were his subordinates.

Among these individuals, Yang Haoran recognized two familiar faces—his friend Wang Yiming and Formation Master Xiao Tong.

"See that? We have a big one here. Are you confident in dealing with her?" The man asked his subordinates.

"Yes!"

Their response was straightforward, without any hesitation.

"Very well, then go ahead and take action. Let me see if your recent abilities have improved."

As soon as the man spoke, before his subordinates could respond, the world before them changed. The female ghost had acted before them!

Knowing that these people wouldn't be scared away, the female ghost had also decided to take action. In an instant, she displayed the signature ability of an evil spirit—illusion!

The man was prepared and quickly emerged from the illusion, but the situation for the others was not as favorable. Caught off guard, they fell into the illusion before they could react.

As the man observed his subordinates trapped in the illusion, he showed no intention of helping them break free. Instead, he lit a cigarette and leisurely watched the spectacle unfold.

It wasn't just the man enjoying the show. In a dilapidated and uninhabited house nearby, a young man sat on the roof, nibbling on grilled rabbit and sipping beer. He watched with keen interest at the location where the female ghost was.

This person was none other than Yang Haoran, who had rushed over immediately upon sensing the intense Yin Qi.

Spirit Police and the female ghost were already engaged, but Yang Haoran was in no hurry. Savoring his beer and meat, he seemed content.

Strangely, at this moment, there were no power fluctuations or Yin Qi detected from Yang Haoran's body. This lack of presence meant that others, including the female ghost and the Spirit Police man, were unaware of Yang Haoran's existence.

"Spirit Police only respond to missions. Why are they so proactive tonight?" Yang Haoran wondered, taking another sip of beer. Despite this curiosity, it did not affect his enjoyment of the spectacle.

The most potent skill of an evil spirit is casting illusions to trap the target. If the target easily breaks out of the illusion, dealing with them becomes much more troublesome.

However, breaking an illusion once doesn't mean it can't be cast again. Seeing the man dispel her illusion so quickly, the female ghost immediately cast a separate illusion specifically targeting him!

This individually crafted illusion proved to be much more formidable than those experienced by the other Spirit Police!

As long as she could keep the man entangled for a little longer, she was confident she could toy with him until he met his demise!
