In the Blackwater Security Company's top-floor office, Lando, a bald man, was reporting to Saiko, a thin man.
The report was about B5 Squad's failure and an analysis of the Evil Ghost.
Lando looked at the information in his hand and reported seriously, "Based on our monitoring and investigation, we can confirm that B5 Squad has been wiped out. Not even their bodies were found. And the target, the Evil Ghost, is still active."
"Bob, the leader of the Crocodile Gang, was also killed by the Evil Ghost on the same night B5 Squad was taken out. B5 Squad lost contact that night as well."
Hearing Lando's report, Saiko rubbed his temples and closed his eyes, saying nothing, as if pondering something.
After a moment, Saiko said in a low voice, "Put the matter of the Evil Ghost aside for now. That person's strength is unfathomable, and we know very little about him."
"To deal with the Evil Ghost, even an A-Rank might not be enough; we might need to mobilize an S-Rank from headquarters."
"What we need to do now is to cut our losses. There's no need to continue entangling ourselves with that Evil Ghost; it won't benefit us."
The most important thing Saiko didn't say was that he didn't want Blackwater to suffer any more losses. The complete annihilation of a B-Rank squad was already serious enough.
If Saiko wanted to return to headquarters, the Blackwater he had painstakingly built over the years needed to show impressive results. There was no need to invite further trouble by clinging to the Evil Ghost.
This was just a commission, and now the client was dead. This was also a good opportunity for Saiko to end this commission.
Lando didn't say anything when he heard Saiko's arrangements, only saying, "Understood."
Saiko then arranged other work, and he asked Lando, "How are the new recruits doing?"
Lando replied, "The transport personnel said that a few people died due to unstable genes, and one fell into the sea and drowned."
"The others who have already been connected have been assigned to the training camp. It is estimated that after a maximum of one year of training, they can form a squad and complete missions."
Saiko lit a cigar as he listened to Lando's report.
After Lando finished his report, Saiko spoke, "Report to headquarters about the deaths. They were likely defective."
"Train the new recruits well. I need them ready to serve the company as soon as possible."
Lando simply acknowledged Saiko's orders.
After all the arrangements were made, Lando left the office, leaving Saiko alone to contemplate.
Now, back to Meng Ran and his professional team.
In recent days, Spider-Man's name had spread as Peter became more active.
Everyone knew that a masked superhero named Spider-Man had appeared. Compared to the Evil Ghost and the Ghost, who were elusive and mysterious, Spider-Man was more like a neighbor.
Spider-Man would sometimes appear in public during the day. Whether it was a small matter or a big one, Spider-Man would always lend a helping hand, which caused Spider-Man's popularity to rise rapidly in just a few days.
Peter was actively working, and Meng Ran certainly wasn't idle either.
The plan to eliminate the Crocodile Gang was now more than half completed, with only Xis remaining.
Once Xis was dealt with, the entire plan would be successfully concluded.
Judging by the current situation and estimating the time, it was now time to execute the plan.
\n\n
As night fell, Meng Ran and Gwen prepared to depart. Before going to Xis, Meng Ran needed to pick someone up. He had promised her that she would personally judge Xis.
Sensing the woman's direction, Meng Ran moved quickly with Gwen.
\n\n
Leanna was standing at the entrance of a dilapidated building, holding a red glowing object that resembled a button.
This was the tracker the Evil Ghost had given her last time. The Evil Ghost had said that the red light would illuminate when it was time to judge Xis.
At that time, the Evil Ghost would come to her and make her personally judge Xis.
Leanna was shaking her head, looking around when suddenly two figures appeared in front of her. She recognized them; one was the Evil Ghost from last time, and the other was a masked hero just like the Evil Ghost - Spider-Man.
Meng Ran looked at the slightly nervous Leanna in front of him, threw her an eye mask, and said in a low voice, "Cover your eyes. Now, I'll take you to judge Xis."
Leanna took the eye mask and obediently put it on.
Meng Ran put a hand on Leanna's shoulder and then quickly teleported.
Leanna only felt the whistling wind in her ears. After a while, she stopped moving, and she thought they had arrived.
Sure enough, the Evil Ghost's hoarse voice rang out, "We're here. You can take off the blindfold now."
Leanna took off the eye mask, her pupils couldn't help but shrink.
The brightly lit villa stood before her. This villa was also her nightmare. Her nightmare began after she was forcibly sold here, and only ended when Evil Ghost rescued her last time. She had finally escaped the nightmare.
But even though she had fled, she still woke up from nightmares. In her dreams, she was forced back to that nightmarish place. She didn't know how to get rid of the nightmare.
Seeing Leanna's unnatural expression, Meng Ran didn't say anything. He nodded to Gwen, and Gwen quickly walked into the villa and began the cleanup.
Meng Ran said to Leanna, "Wait here for five minutes. After five minutes, come to the casino upstairs and find me."
Leanna nodded obediently, watching Meng Ran walk into the villa.
Meng Ran walked through the main entrance and arrived at the casino on the second floor.
In the empty casino, only the sound of a slot machine echoed. Xis was sitting in front of the slot machine, clutching his stomach and using gambling to distract himself, so he could ignore the pain in his abdomen.
Although it seemed to have little effect, he still did it.
Hearing footsteps, Xis, his face pale, turned around.
Seeing that it was Meng Ran, Xis immediately scrambled off the stool and crawled towards him.
He looked at Meng Ran, enduring the pain, and weakly said, "Mr. Evil Ghost, please give me a pill. It hurts more and more."
Meng Ran looked at Xis, who was sprawled on the ground, and took out a pill, placing it in his mouth.
Xis hurriedly swallowed the pill. Swallowing so quickly made him instinctively want to cough, but he dared not cough, fearing the medicine would be spat out. He couldn't afford to waste any.
Xis's face turned red, and finally, after confirming that his abdomen no longer hurt, he opened his mouth and gasped for air.
Looking coldly at Xis beneath his feet, Meng Ran said coldly, "You've done well these past few days. You haven't disappointed me."
Xis, hearing this, immediately smiled obsequiously, "As long as Mr. Evil Ghost is satisfied, that's good. Is there anything else you want me to do, Mr. Evil Ghost? Please, just give the order."
Meng Ran said, "There's nothing left to do."
Xis's face suddenly turned pale when he heard Meng Ran's words. If there was nothing for him to do, didn't that mean he was worthless?
Sure enough, Meng Ran spoke again, "To reward your excellent performance, I've decided to give you a quick death. How's that? Isn't it great?"
Xis trembled, unable to speak. Even in his current state, he couldn't escape death. He helplessly collapsed to the ground, his eyes hollow and filled with despair. He had no strength left.
"Mr. Evil Ghost." At this moment, Leanna arrived at the door, looking inside, unsure of what to do next.
"Not being killed by me is a quick death."
After saying this, Meng Ran turned around, no longer looking at Xis, and walked towards Leanna at the door.
He handed Leanna a pistol and a knife, saying to her, "He took the medicine and has no strength to resist anymore. You can do whatever you want."
Leanna took the pistol and knife, staring blankly at Xis, who was sprawled inside like a dead dog.
After a moment, she stopped staring blankly. Her eyes filled with coldness and hatred. She handed the gun back to Meng Ran, then walked inside with the knife.
Meng Ran didn't say anything either. He just took the gun and stood at the door, watching Leanna approach Xis.
At this moment, Gwen also came to Meng Ran's side. They watched the revenge unfold in the casino together.
Gwen looked inside, saying with some sorrow, "She must have suffered a lot."
Meng Ran put his arm around Gwen's shoulders, comforting her, "At least we can let her take revenge herself now."
After a while, the screams in the room stopped, replaced by a splashing sound.
Leanna walked out of the casino. There were still some water stains on her hands and face. She had just washed the blood off herself. Now, only her clothes had a few bloodstains. Otherwise, she looked as clean as when she had entered.
Leanna's expression showed some relief and ease. She had ended her nightmare, and she thought she could finally get a good night's sleep.
Her beautiful eyes sincerely looked at Meng Ran and thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Evil Ghost. I've finally ended my nightmare."
Meng Ran just calmly said, "Congratulations. Please live your life well from now on."
Then, Meng Ran handed the blindfold to Leanna.
Leanna smiled, took the blindfold, and put it on.
Meng Ran's hand rested on her shoulder. At this moment, she suddenly spoke again, "By the way, Mr. Evil Ghost, my name is Leanna. I hope you won't forget me. I'll work hard, and I'll try to help you someday."
Meng Ran responded, "Just live your life well."
Then, the howling wind sounded in her ears again. When it stopped, Leanna heard a hoarse voice saying, "Live well."
After she hastily removed the eye mask, the area in front of her was empty. She was back in her own residence.
Only she remained standing at the empty doorway, the night wind swirling and blending into the darkness.
Leanna stood there blankly for a moment before turning and going inside.
