Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 558

Holding the ID card, Cloud furrowed his brow, sensing that something was amiss. The person standing in front of him, who had been awake all night, had a dull look in their eyes. While it was common for frequent late-night internet users to appear somewhat lifeless, this individual seemed different.

"Do you want to recharge the card?" Cloud asked, raising his head.

Upon lifting his head, he found the person staring directly at him, causing Cloud to react with surprise. Frowning in annoyance, he questioned, "What's the matter?"

The man chuckled and replied, "Just recharge the card."

He then handed him 25 dollars.

Cloud grabbed the money and counted it. He proceeded to issue a card and handed it over, pointing to a designated unit. "Unit 97, over there."

The man continued to stare at Cloud as he accepted the card, he then walked strangely.

Cloud watched the man as he left.

What's so odd about him?

Normal people walk steadily. However, the man in front of Cloud seemed to be limping...

Subconsciously, Cloud glanced down at his pocket which contained an amulet Lilly gave him. The man was so strange, it made Cloud think that he was an abnormal person.

Clutching the amulet tightly in his hand, Cloud adjusted his sleeves to conceal it, feeling somewhat reassured.

Soon, another customer arrived, and Cloud collected the money as usual to recharge their card. However, when reached out in the drawer to give him his change, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Two underworld banknotes lay quietly in the drawer, one of them being green with the inscription "Universal Use" on it.

Placing these two banknotes on top, they amounted to the 25 dollars he received!

Cloud carefully examined the change he had received earlier, confirming that it was indeed 25 dollars. Taking a deep breath, he handed the change to the customer, swiftly closed the drawer, and glanced at the amulet in his hand.

It seemed that the presence of the amulet had helped him realize that he received two pieces of underworld bank notes. Without it, he might not have noticed it at all.

While serving tea to another customer, Cloud observed the person using the computer at Unit 97. After the man sat down, he played a horror movie, remaining quiet with only the top of his head visible.

Returning to the front desk, Cloud thought about the situation and decided that ignorance is bliss. As it was easy to see ghosts at night, and it seemed normal for supernatural occurrences to happen in an internet cafe that was operating all night.

Cloud reminded himself about his mission.

He firmly believed that with Lilly's talisman, he would be protected from monsters and malignant spirits. So, he continued tracking the IP address as if nothing unusual had happened.

At Unit 97, the man sat in his seat with a vacant expression, his gaze unfocused as he stared at the computer screen.

Unseen by anyone, a ghost clung to his back, laughing and saying, "I've found him... I've found him!"

"He didn't notice... hehe…"

"I've sent two ghost generals to kill Blake… Now, she's about to lose two of her loved ones!"

The ghost never expected that the white-haired female ghost would be killed, considering they were both ghost generals.

However, Blake possessed some skills and visited haunted buildings often to capture and battle spirits, making him somewhat like a practitioner.

"Cloud's head..." The ghost hovered in the air, fixating its gaze on Cloud.

It wanted his head...

With an intense gaze, the ghost stealthily approached Cloud.

Though Cloud could not perceive its presence, he had a lingering feeling of being watched. He calmly scanned his surroundings but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Suddenly, the ghost let out a chilling laugh, shrieking as it lunged toward Cloud!

"Boom!"

A radiant golden light illuminated the area.

The ghost was immediately repelled, crashing to the side and yelling in pain.

It stared at Cloud in astonishment.
