The three of them quickly walked to Scarlett Jennings’ side, exchanged a glance, and had a heavy expression in their eyes.
Lucas Jennings recognized the three and suddenly remembered that his sister had brought people over with her earlier.
He was excited at the moment,
"You guys finally made it! My sister almost had to take down the whole place by herself."
Scarlett Jennings didn’t comment on Lucas’ description, just as she was about to say something, she saw a figure following not far behind Gregory Xander approaching them.
The person was wearing a mask and a hat, looking somewhat mysterious.
Gregory Xander frowned slightly, and the group couldn’t help but be on guard.
The person approached, looking eagerly at Scarlett Jennings, speaking in a hoarse voice,
"Scarlett, it’s me, Ava Zimmerman."
The words left Scarlett Jennings, who had been thinking about how to deal with the Ghost Realm, stunned, and Lucas screamed in disbelief,
"Ava Zimmerman?! How are you here?!"
"I... came to play a game." Ava Zimmerman lowered her head, her voice still unpleasantly hoarse.
Listening to her words, Scarlett Jennings felt a faint suspicion in her heart.
From what she knew of Ava Zimmerman’s personality, she didn’t seem like the type to participate in such social games.
Ava Zimmerman, however, didn’t seem inclined to explain further, just glancing slightly with the corner of her eye towards the crowd.
There, a girl also wearing a hat and mask was carefully tugging at her hat, hunching her body to try to hide behind the people.
This was Azura Loomis, who had been continuously restrained by Ava Zimmerman earlier.
Azura Loomis promised to help Ava Zimmerman find the runaway system. They originally intended to search for traces of the system tonight but somehow got pulled into this Ghost Realm.
Though Ava Zimmerman had the Power of Word Spirit, she was helpless against ghosts.
In a place like the Ghost Realm, meeting Scarlett Jennings was pure luck for her.
Scarlett Jennings glanced at Ava Zimmerman’s empty wrist, not exposing her lie, regardless of why she was here, she didn’t have the time to worry about her now.
"The barrier doesn’t seem like it will hold for long, what should we do next?"
Gregory Xander was the first to raise the question.
The Spirit Talisman for the barrier was given to them by Scarlett Jennings on their way there.
Because there were so many players involved, they were concerned about unexpected situations arising on site, so they prepared a barrier in advance.
It could protect those players if necessary.
Only, they didn’t expect to be brought into the Ghost Realm.
"The aura of this Ghost Realm is too strange, the Spirit Talisman for the barrier can’t perform to its full potential, the barrier won’t be able to hold off those Evil Ghosts for long."
Yes, it was Evil Ghosts being kept out of the barrier at the moment.
From the aura leaked when the first player suddenly attacked Daniel Wright, Scarlett Jennings realized the existence of the Evil Ghosts.
But due to the special aura of the Ghost Realm, Scarlett Jennings had no way to discern with physical sight or aura who was human and who was ghost.
And these Evil Ghosts mingling with the players posed a very high risk.
Regardless of what the Ghost Realm intended to do to them next, they were bound to be at a disadvantage.
So when Scarlett Jennings heard the Ghost Realm speak, she had already decided to first separate these Evil Ghosts from the normal players.
Only by ensuring the safety of the ordinary people.
Could she then fight with peace of mind.
The players inside the barrier instinctively moved closer to Scarlett Jennings when they saw the Evil Ghosts outside the barrier, and upon hearing her conversation with Gregory Xander, they became somewhat unsettled,
"What do you mean? Is this barrier useless? Can’t you send us away from this ghostly place?"
Scarlett Jennings glanced at the person speaking and replied,
"We will think of a way to break through the Ghost Realm. Until then, you must stay inside the barrier."
