Josh clenched his teeth, sensing the weariness in his wrists as his strength depleted.
However, he had come this far, and giving up now would render all his previous efforts futile. He could not accept that.
Josh refused to give up. A resolute anger surged up within him, and with a fierce yell, he unexpectedly regained his strength...
Zachary was speechless, did catching a ghost requires such a dramatic display?
Observing the people around him, Zachary felt a pang of embarrassment.
To the people who could not see ghosts, it appeared as if Josh was acting strangely and screaming for no apparent reason.
"I apologize on behalf of my younger brother... He's a bit... wild." Zachary massaged his temples. "He recently learned a cool trick, um... He just likes to show off after seeing so many people watching him."
The bloggers with cameras were all dumbfounded.
This is what you call a cool trick?
Kid, this isn't cool, it's... well, it's more like acting like a monkey...
The gold digger ghost could not believe that it had been caught by someone so weak.
It struggled with all its might, but could not break free!
"Don't force me to eat you..." the gold digger ghost threatened angrily.
And then, it tore off its own face.
Crack! Josh was so startled that his hands trembled.
Although he had grown somewhat accustomed to such things, just imagine... if a woman with a pale complexion suddenly appeared before you, locked eyes with you, and then peeled off her own face, with blood dripping all around...
Wouldn't that scare you?
A normal person would cheer themselves up like, "You can do it!" as Josh repeated in his mind, "Wouldn't that scare you?" He grabbed the gold-digger ghost and flung it around like a dried fish, delivering blows left and right.
The gold-digger ghost coughed up blood.
Unable to bear it any longer, Zachary grabbed the gold digger ghost with one hand and scooped up Josh with the other, swiftly running away.
How shameful!
Shouldn't I be as cool as Lilly when I'm catching ghosts?
Why did he look so comical when he yelled?
Josh was in bewilderment, and then realized that he was being carried into an alley by Zachary.
"Catch it here!" Zachary exclaimed angrily. "You're embarrassing yourself!"
Josh retorted indignantly, "Why don't you do it yourself?!"
Zachary sneered, "Alright then!"
Josh grew anxious again, exclaiming, "Don't steal my thunder!"
He continued to scream and fight the malignant spirit, seemingly on equal footing.
The gold digger ghost was coughing up blood so badly, wondering what on earth was with this kid!
