Before going to sleep, Matsuo walked up to the front door and locked the dozen or so locks on it, then the windows, the kitchen, the living room, all of them locking the door tightly.
After doing all that, Matsuo returned to his bed. The lights in the room were still on, but his complexion was pale, the dark circles around his eyes were getting darker and darker, and his eyes were completely bloodshot.
Inside the bedroom, all the places that originally had gaps had been filled up with newspaper and toilet paper, leaving not even a single gap.
But even so, as Matsuo looked at every corner of the bedroom, he felt as if a pair of green eyes would pop out from them at any moment.
Perhaps it was because he was too tired, or perhaps it had been too long since he had a good night's sleep, but Matsuo who was lying on the bed still drowsily fell asleep.
Until a clear voice called out to him.
"Matsuo, come and play with me"
"Matsuo, can you hear me calling you?"
"Matsuo, let's play again?"
"Who? Who's calling me? " Matsuo slowly opened his eyes to see that MOMO had appeared in front of him, nudging his body with her head.
“MOMO？ Why are you here again? "
"Matsuo, I came to play with you" The orange cat's pair of green eyes flickered as he looked at Matsuo in front of him and silently smiled: "Matsuo, you can finally understand me"
"I understand what you're saying?" Matsuo's eyes were filled with confusion. He raised his head and saw his ashen face in the mirror. His eyes were emitting traces of green light and there was a strange smile at the corner of his mouth. It was as if the mirror was mocking him.
Matsuo was shocked and quickly retreated, only to find that he had gone through the wall of his bedroom and arrived on the street.
He looked at his body in shock: "I … I've turned into a ghost?"
The sound of a door opening came from outside the mansion. When he looked down, he saw a man opening the door. The man had a tired expression on his face, his eyes were as dark as a panda's.
"Why? Why am I still alive? Why did I turn into a ghost? " Matsuo's expression was twisted, the green light in his eyes also became brighter and brighter. He couldn't help but crawl behind the wall to look at Matsuo through the gap.
…
The headless knight's hands tore open the ceiling of the 12-story building, his eyes locked onto the girl's ghost on the rooftop.
"What?!" The young girl waved her hand, and the remaining ghosts in the surroundings surrounded her, wanting to protect her.
However, the Headless Horseman's figure flashed slightly. No one could see his movements clearly, and he had already appeared beside the girl's ghost.
"Caught you!"
The expression of the young girl's ghost changed. The last few hundred ghosts in the surroundings had already rushed toward the Headless Horseman's body.
"A deathbed struggle." With a chuckle, the Headless Knight spread out his fingers and gently grabbed at the last few hundred ghostly shadows. The expanding golden flames had already dispersed all the ghostly shadows.
Then, he looked at the ghost of the girl, and an invisible wave emanated from his body. He directly used Y'lisabet's illusion ability. "Five Senses Deprivation."
…
"I've lost contact with Ishida."
"The suicide squad has been wiped out."
"The two women's group were all rescued."
"All the hostages have been taken back."
"All the ghosts have been destroyed."
"Invisibility, Teleportation, Spatial Teleportation, Defensive Force Field, Psychokinesis, Super Fast Reactions, Insight, and rich Superpower combat experience."
"The highest output power has already exceeded that of a missile, right?"
"Just what kind of monster is this?"
Matsuo shook his head and looked at the battlefield under his feet. "Thankfully, I'm flying in the sky. Otherwise, I would probably have been crushed by him by now."
In the night sky, several hundred meters away from the rooftop, Matsuo, whose face was ashen and figure appeared illusory, floated there. He had observed the entire battle from the beginning to the end.
Regardless of whether it was the young ghost that attacked Xiao Yu at the beginning, the young ghost, or the young girl's ghost that threatened Ishida on the rooftop, they were all just puppets that he had written and directed himself.
In the end, Matsuo saw two spots of red light flash where the Headless Horseman's head should be. He had lost control of the young girl's ghost.
Ever since the Headless Horseman appeared, he had been constantly thinking of ways to deal with him. However, no matter what kind of attack he used, they were all easily neutralized. This made him realize that the difference between the two of them was just too great.
"It's over." Matsuo sighed. He had spent so many months of effort, countless funds, and countless efforts, but he had lost them all in one night. It was impossible for Matsuo not to feel heartache.
"But fortunately, there are still many people who have yet to pay back their debts. As long as I'm alive, I'll have endless chances to start over. Headless Horseman, the next time we meet … "
Just as Matsuo's body slowly floated into the distance, planning to leave Jianghai first, a series of rumbling thunder came from below.
"What?" Matsuo lowered his head to look, and his expression immediately changed drastically.
A black shadow streaked across the sky like a bolt of black lightning, dashing towards him at high speed.
"It's the Headless Horseman?" Matsuo turned pale with fright. "How did he discover me?"
After Zhao Yao dealt with the young girl's ghost with the Five Senses Deprivation, he looked at the rooftop and then at the transparent building under his feet. However, he did not see any Apostle's main body. Therefore, he suspected that this was not the Apostle's main body.
He then narrowed his eyes and looked around. His superhuman vision immediately allowed him to find the black spot in the sky.
Next, he spat out Pharaoh Cat, and Pharaoh Cat, whose muscles contracted violently, lifted Zhao Yao up. With a loud boom, he stomped on the ceiling, causing it to shatter inch by inch. Zhao Yao was also smashed into the sky like a cannonball.
"B * stard." Matsuo's countenance changed in shock, and he quickly flew to the side, dodging the Headless Horseman who was charging over.
Seeing the other party fly past him and into the endless night sky, Matsuo had just exhaled when he saw a stream of golden light extending out from the other party's body, grabbing onto his body.
"Phantom body!" With a single thought, Matsuo turned into a ghost state. He was unable to touch or affect physical matter, nor could he be grabbed or touched.
In such a state, he could not even control any ghosts, yet he was almost absolutely safe.
As expected, the golden light released by the other party was unable to capture him. Matsuo passed through the golden light and was about to fly toward the ground.
Matsuo finally heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the Headless Horseman who was still flying toward the sky, leaving behind a long stream of golden light in the sky. He smiled coldly and said, "Headless Horseman, we'll meet again next time." He continued to dash toward the ground. With his phantom body, as long as he entered the underground world, no one would be able to capture him.
However, at this moment, time came to a standstill.
Zhao Yao stood in the still world, his feet stepping on the golden repulsive field released by Ares, and he walked along the force field in the night sky.
He walked to the place where Matsuo had last disappeared, gestured with his hands, and directly exchanged for the Cat Princess's dress. Then, while maintaining the standstill time, he released three dimensional stomach bags' space doors.
"He seems to be flying in this direction."
When Matsuo once again realized the flow of time, he had just flown a meter away when he felt his vision turn black. He had already entered a strange space.
