Chapter 65: Signs Of A Supernatural Event
The gray hazy sky, as always, made people feel depressed.
The desolate world, wheat field yellowed.
The distant city was eerie and bizarre.
Inverted strange buildings covered in paper ash.
“Hoo…”
The old man wearing a death robe blew off the paper ash on her hand, lifted the leather umbrella made of complete fierce ghost skin in her hand, and looked into the distance.
“So, that kid, we can’t kill him, right?”
The old man spoke very calmly, her tone very light, as light as when she was young, encountering her loved one, gentle.
She looked behind her at the two people sitting in the field, using wheat as cushions.
One one-eyed old man, one faceless middle-aged man.
The one-eyed old man emitted a foul corpse stench.
The old man’s gaze was gloomy, without speaking.
Faceless person, supernatural restless on his body, occasionally seeing a human face bulging under his clothes.
“This is not fair.”
The old woman rubbed her old face.
“He is still alive, but we lost one person, and the faceless person lost a core fierce ghost.”
“He lost nothing, the only loss is just his parents.”
“Two ordinary people, in exchange for several ghosts on our side, is that not enough?”
The old woman’s eyes were desolate, “Unreasonable.”
“If we don’t kill him, he won’t kill us?”
“With the strength and strangeness that kid showed, when the opponent comes knocking again, can we still live, can Yin Er still live?”
The old woman questioned softly.
A faint sense of fragmentation appeared on her old face.
He Liansheng was silent, just looking at the endless straw.
“Are we just sitting here waiting for death?”
The old woman asked again.
He Liansheng did not speak, the faceless person rubbed his face.
“I’m talking to you!”
The old woman stared at He Liansheng and asked sternly.
He Liansheng slowly raised his head, “What do you want to do?”
“Should I soul summon now, tear open the ghost painting’s ghost domain, and directly take out that kid?”
“Not to mention whether we die first the moment I step out of the ghost painting and make a move.”
“Just say after we take out that kid, can Taiping Ancient Town still exist.”
“That senior is not a person of this era, but a guardian of this era.”
“After I came in, I specially soul summoned the deceased to inquire about that person’s information.”
“I didn’t get much information, but those soul summoned from the Republic of China era basically all knew that person.”
“What is the opponent’s strength?”
“You don’t know clearly, but the opponent can easily wipe out Taiping Ancient Town.”
He Liansheng slowly stood up.
He looked at the old woman whose expression was changing uncertainly.
“Whatever you do, I never interfere, things have happened, right or wrong I no longer care.”
He Liansheng slowly opened his closed eye.
“Now, as long as you say it, I will go all out, abandon Taiping Ancient Town, abandon He Yin’er, abandon all layouts, soul summon the strongest person I can summon now, directly tear open the ghost painting’s ghost domain, find that kid, and kill him on the spot.”
Eyes opened, in the closed eyes, a ghostly green pupil slightly rolled out.
He looked at the old woman.
The old woman’s expression changed uncertainly, she stared straight at He Liansheng, biting her lips, without speaking.
He Liansheng expressionless:
“Either, we go back ourselves, regroup, and wait for that kid’s revenge.”
“In the end, each relies on their own ability.”
“We die, we accept it, he dies, he also has to accept it!”
The old woman remained silent.
The sitting faceless person slowly stood up, patted He Liansheng, a hoarse voice sounded, “Go back, enhance your own strength, whether you can live depends on your own ability.”
“Our Taiping Ancient Town is meant to have this calamity.”
He Liansheng nodded, the ghostly green strange eyes hid again.
He closed his eyes.
If not for them guarding the Ghost Lake of Taiping Ancient Town, not letting it lose control, that old man might smash him to death upon meeting.
He Liansheng took out a black handkerchief, supernatural revival, began soul summoning.
Soon, an old man with gray hair appeared before them.
“What do you need me to do?”
The old man opened his eyes, quickly scanned the surroundings, then looked at He Liansheng and asked.
“Senior, please trouble you to send us out of the ghost painting.”
He Liansheng said respectfully.
“Ghost painting?”
The old man looked up at the gray hazy sky and the drifting paper ash.
Gloomy world like the underworld.
“It is indeed the ghost painting, it’s been a long time since I saw this ghost.”
The old man smiled, waved his hand, terrifying supernatural outburst, a gloomy walkway appeared beside the old man:
“Follow me, tearing the ghost painting, I don’t have such terrifying strength, but opening a small path for you is still possible.”
The old man said, walked towards that gloomy walkway.
The three hurriedly followed.
……
……
Headquarters.
“Professor Wang, good morning.”
Ye Feng reached out and shook hands with Wang Xiao Ming.
Wang Xiao Ming looked at the golden coffin behind Ye Feng, “All handled?”
Ye Feng nodded, “Three A-level fierce ghosts have all been pacified, you can arrange control at any time.”
“The president said support inspection.”
Wang Xiao Ming pushed his glasses, “No need for inspection, basic trust is necessary.”
“Li Jun, take the things back to the laboratory.”
Nearby Li Jun nodded, quickly arranged people to take the coffin back to the laboratory.
“Just you alone?”
Wang Xiao Ming sized up Ye Feng.
“No, there’s also Zhang Han, he went to deliver a ghost to the circle of friends.”
“The circle of friends asked the president to help pacify a ghost.”
Wang Xiao Ming suddenly understood, “Got it.”
“By the way, Professor Wang, the president here has another pacified ghost to sell, does Professor Wang want to see?”
Saying that, Ye Feng took out a red candle from his back waistband.
The candle looked almost the same as the laboratory’s ghost candle.
Color, size, no difference.
“Ghost candle?”
Wang Xiao Ming subconsciously said.
No wonder he thought that, this candle really had no difference from the ghost candle.
Ye Feng shook his head, “It’s a ghost, a candle ghost.”
At this point, Ye Feng hesitated for a while, thought about it, and still told the drawbacks of this candle.
After all, his second ghost was controlled with Wang Xiao Ming’s help, without Wang Xiao Ming, he wouldn’t be alive now.
This is a favor, must repay.
Of course, after going back, he still had to tell Lin Qian about this.
He is now a person of the Desolate Club, not headquarters Wang Xiao Ming’s person.
Must figure out priorities.
Wang Xiao Ming after listening, eyes slightly narrowed, “Indeed chicken rib.”
“But if not controlled, can it trigger this ghost’s killing pattern?”
Ye Feng upon hearing, stunned, shook his head, “Don’t know, haven’t experimented.”
“Is that so.”
“I want the thing, what is your expected price?”
A pacified ghost, even if the killing pattern is too flawed, he won’t let it go.
If he can research the method for fierce ghosts to pacify, for the country, it would be a major event to save the people from dire straits.
“Um…”
Ye Feng didn’t expect Wang Xiao Ming to unhesitatingly choose to take this ghost.
According to his expectation, if headquarters doesn’t need it, he would go to the circle of friends.
But unexpectedly, Wang Xiao Ming directly wanted it.
Actually Ye Feng didn’t realize, a pacified ghost that ordinary people can control without harm, how valuable it is.
Even if this ghost’s ability is very useless.
But useless, it’s still a ghost.
No matter what ghost, at this stage, this period, all worth researching.
At this moment Ye Feng hasn’t truly realized the importance of ghosts.
“Just calculate as a pacified fierce ghost.” Ye Feng thought and said.
He didn’t dare lower the price, this is president Lin Qian’s ghost, he is just a seller on behalf, can’t decide to lower price.
Wang Xiao Ming pondered, nodded, “Okay, you stay at headquarters for two days first, I’ll have someone deliver the things.”
He has many things, once he gets the ghost he wants, he definitely needs to experiment.
Three pacified A-level fierce ghosts, and one candle ghost.
These ghosts together can completely create a powerful ghost controller.
Ye Feng had no objection, after Wang Xiao Ming understood Wang Xiaoqiang’s recent situation, he felt much relieved.
His foolish younger brother is doing well in Da Jiang City, at least not bullied.
Wang Xiao Ming hurriedly left.
And Ye Feng also left headquarters, strolled around Da Jing City.
At this moment, Zhang Han, touching his chin, looking at the golden box in front, and then at the mansion behind.
“How does the circle of friends have money?”
He looked down at the box, hesitated for a while, still picked up the box and left the mansion.
……
Da Jiang City.
Inside a hospital.
The operating room light stayed on.
Five hours had passed since it lit up.
In the corridor, a pair of mother and daughter looked exhausted at the lit operating room, eyes holding the little hope.
Not knowing how long passed, the operating room light suddenly went out.
The mother and daughter instantly startled awake, hurriedly gathered at the operating room door, expressions anxious.
Soon, the door was pushed open, a doctor walked out from inside.
“Wang Dewang’s family?”
The doctor’s tired eyes looked at the mother and daughter.
A woman around forty, due to long-term labor, face sallow and rough black.
A girl still wearing school uniform, at the vibrant age of youth, but now haggard, uneasy.
“Yes, we are Wang Dewang’s family.”
The woman hurriedly stepped forward and said.
Her expression anxious, “My man, how is he?”
The woman anxious, eyes full of hope and worry.
The doctor looked at these eyes, such eyes he had seen many times.
“Sorry, we tried our best, the patient couldn’t be saved, you brought him too late.”
The doctor sighed and said.
The cruel news, still said by him.
The woman went black before her eyes, brain dizzy.
“No, impossible, how is it possible!”
The woman didn’t believe this was true, suddenly, the woman’s eyes rolled and she fainted.
The woman’s daughter shouted ‘Mom’, hurriedly supported her mother, expression anxious.
The doctor didn’t dare delay, immediately called nurses to help.
The chaos was quickly calmed.
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the operating room, expression grave, somewhat terrified.
“This is already the tenth.”
He didn’t dare delay, took out his mobile phone, quickly dialed a number.
……
Da Jiang City, underground room of a building.
Drip, drip~!
Gloomy water stains seeped from the ceiling, dripping on the corridor.
The corridor full of stains was damp and dark.
In the basement, a dim oil lamp hung on the wall.
The oil lamp burned and swayed.
Suddenly, the light flickered.
Light changed, oil lamp taken off the wall, held in the hand of a hooded person.
Da da da~!
Footsteps sounded in the damp gloomy corridor.
Accumulated water stepped on, splashed on the wall.
“How many more short?”
The oil lamp’s light flickered, a gloomy hoarse voice sounded.
“Twenty.”
“Hurry up, we can’t stay long in this country.”
“We are already fast, the person in charge of this city has noticed this abnormal event.”
“Then just finish it all at once.”
“Your task is very severe, if unable to complete, the outcome awaiting you is only death.”
“Are you threatening us?”
“Not threat, reminder, you better tell your president, time is running out, the longer dragged, the more terrifying that person.”
“You saw Li Yong’s outcome.”
“Don’t mention Li Yong that waste in front of us, he made the most correct choice, just passed the news out.”
“We are different from him.”
“Is that so.”
“Hehe.”
Suddenly.
Oil lamp extinguished, a corpse stench strangely appeared, permeating the corridor.
“Fuck, what did you do, how did this thing get out!”
“How would I know!”
Angry curses sounded, then voices quickly disappeared.
Then.
Da da da, muffled footsteps sounded.
A figure appeared.
A pair of rotten eyes flowing with corpse water, slightly lifted.
Da Jiang City.
“Yo, isn’t this Detective Lu? How have time to come here?”
Inside a fishing ground under the club.
Da Jiang City person in charge, Lu Lin with grave expression found Lin Qian.
“President Lin, something happened.”
Lin Qian frowned, looked at his fishing line, no problem?
He looked at Lu Lin, “I’m fishing well here, how come something happens as soon as you arrive?”
Lu Lin choked, seemed not to expect Lin Qian to say this.
He was dazed for a while, couldn’t care less.
“Not you had something happen, Da Jiang City had something happen.”
“Da Jiang City had something happen?”
“What matter? Large supernatural event outburst?”
Lin Qian looked around, “I don’t see it.”
Lu Lin: ……
“President Lin Qian, look at this first.”
Saying that, handed Lin Qian a stack of photos and a file.
Lin Qian suspiciously took it and looked, gradually, his expression slightly changed.
“Less than two days, ten people died, all died of whole body rot.”
“Moreover, before death, the deceased felt no pain, if not for the skin visibly rotting to the naked eye, they might not even go to the hospital.”
Lu Lin pointed at the photos and said.
Lin Qian looked at the photos.
Photos showed severely rotten corpses.
If no one told him, these people died less than two days ago, he would think Lu Lin showed him corpses dead for several months.
“Supernatural.”
Lin Qian said.
Only supernatural would be so strange, making people feel no pain from body rotting.
Lu Lin nodded, “I think so too, only ghosts make people die so strangely.”
“What is your idea?”
Lin Qian asked.
“I suspect a supernatural event is incubating in Da Jiang City.”
“I want President Lin to send people to help find the source of this supernatural event, extinguish it before it bursts out.”
Hearing Lu Lin, Lin Qian’s eyes slightly flickered, “Send people to help you find ghosts.”
Lu Lin nodded, “Currently, Da Jiang City’s ghost controllers, except me, are basically with President Lin you.”
“Finding ghosts, ghost controllers are experts, after all, as long as close enough distance, can sense the fierce ghost’s existence.”
“This is something ordinary people can’t do.”
Lin Qian looked at the file, this was investigation of those deceased.
No abnormality found.
If found, Lu Lin would have brought people to handle.
Instead of asking him for help here.
Lin Qian nodded, “Okay, after all, this place is essentially my territory.”
“Of course, my club members’ travel expenses you have to cover.”
“After all, finding ghosts, not finding cats or dogs, there is danger, might lose life.”
“No problem, travel expenses, absolutely not short a penny!”
Lu Lin waved big hand, unhesitatingly agreed.
Just money, compared to people, what is money?
“Okay, I’ll say it later.” Lin Qian nodded.
Lu Lin grateful, “Thank you President Lin, then I’ll take leave, still many things to handle here.”
Lin Qian understood, didn’t retain.
Soon, Lu Lin hurriedly left.
Lin Qian also notified Wang Xiaoqiang, told him this matter.
Wang Xiaoqiang had no objection.
Currently club just him, Yu Lin and them three.
Idling anyway, letting them go do things is good.
All ghost controllers controlling two ghosts.
Can’t always think of freeloading.
