Chapter 7
In ghosts.
In the darkness where five fingers could not be seen, the whispers of ghosts and ghosts echoed in the empty sky, and the cold breath could almost freeze the breath.
Suddenly, like a drop of blood immersed in the thick black ink, a touch of scarlet suddenly spread in the dark night, swallowing all the black violently.
In the **** color, a man’s tall figure slowly appeared.
A **** aura of aggression and oppression followed, forcibly occupying every inch of space.
“…King.”
A ghost image slowly condensed in the void, and it bowed down in a surrender posture, and a low, hoarse voice echoed in the darkness:
“The thing you want to investigate has gotten an eyebrow. Before the B-level ghost is gone, I was able to pry out a place name from it.”
The man listened calmly, his scarlet eyes drooping slightly, and he didn’t say a word about the other’s excitement.
“M City.” The ghost said, “Although I don’t know the reason yet, it seems that this place will become a key target of attacks in the future…”
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party without warning:
“Has anyone found it?”
His voice was cold, silent and indifferent, without the slightest ups and downs.
“This…” The ghost was stuck for a moment, and the frequency of body shaking seemed a little disturbed: “No ghost reported any relevant information…”
“The bounty is doubled.”
The man withdrew his gaze indifferently, and after dropping four words, he turned and walked towards the sea of blood behind him.
“…Yes Yes!”
The ghost was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly asked:
“By the way, about the situation in City M, who are you going to send to check the situation? Do I need to communicate it for you…?”
However, before its voice fell, the man’s tall figure had been swallowed by scarlet blood.
There is no sign of coming, and there is no nostalgia for leaving.
Ghost: “…”
Neither dared to be angry nor dared to speak.
…Recognized fate.
·
The calculation rules of time and space in the domain are not the same as those in the outside world. Soon, the trail in front of me will come to an end.
Ye Jia withdrew from his memories.
He raised his hand, his white fingertips passed, and the space in front of him was torn open, and the cold air with the smell of disinfectant poured in instantly.
The blood-red space disappeared behind him, leaving only a pale and solid wall, as if it had never appeared before.
Ye Jia looked at the surrounding environment.
The corridor in front of me was empty, and the nurse on duty at the front desk had disappeared. The lights were pale and dim, and they looked extremely weak and weak in the heavy night, and there was no trace of vitality in the cold.
The smell of disinfectant is mixed with a fishy smell that is hard to ignore.
…Something is wrong.
Even as a hospital where people often die, the Yin Qi here is too heavy.
Such a strong Yin Qi is enough to nourish a powerful ghost that can harm one party.
Ye Jia raised his brows, and a shallow wrinkle was carved in the center of his brows, and a strange color flashed deep in his eyes, which were as light as colored glaze.
At this time, Xiao Hei Shou crawled out from under his collar. It twisted its thin fingers and mumbled suspiciously in Ye Jia’s ear:
“It’s weird here…”
Ye Jia casually pushed open the door of the ward closest to him.
Unexpectedly, the door was crowded.
It’s all people.
Men, women and children, standing, sitting, lying down, all wearing gowns without exception.
At the moment the door opened, everyone’s eyes were cast in the direction of the door.
“Hey!” an old man with a split head yelled angrily: “You can’t even knock on the door!”
Ye Jia: “…”
“… Excuse me.” He closed the door.
After returning to the corridor, the little black hand yelled in shock: “My mother, second uncle and grandfather! Why are there ghosts here!”
Ye Jia glanced at it speechlessly.
As a ghost, why are you embarrassed to say this?
At this moment, there was a sound of dragging and staggering footsteps at the end of the corridor in front of you.
In the faintly flickering lights, I saw a woman in surgical gown limping forward, dripping blood down the hem of her clothes, leaving a drag on the ground. The long blood stains looked shocking in the light.
She was holding a small black figure that was not human-like in her hand, changing its shape with the flow of air.
Behind her, followed by a long line of shadowy figures, people who were old, sick, and killed by a car… They looked very crowded and very lively.
“□ eh!” The little black hand looked at Ye Jia hopefully: “Can I participate?”
“Why? You are very idle?” Ye Jia said blankly: “Oh, I heard that there is a milk tea shop two blocks away from the hospital that makes a matcha latte that is delicious—”
Little Black Hand:…
Beasts!
It held its breath:
“No no, I’m super busy.”
Ye Jia stared at the mighty ghosts in front of him, and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
He suddenly raised his hand and pulled Xiao Hei Shou off his shoulder, raised his eyebrows, and asked:
“By the way, you just said that it feels a bit weird, why is it weird?”
Xiao Hei shook his hand and replied, “Although the Yin Qi here is heavy, it is fresh, so it should have just been gathered not long ago, but such a heavy Yin Qi can be gathered in such a short period of time, isn’t it? Is it weird?”
Although it is not strong, it is at least a ghost, and it is much more sensitive to Yin Qi than human beings.
Hearing this, Ye Jia was slightly startled, as if suddenly thinking of something, he lowered his head and looked at the little girl beside him.
The girl obediently held his hand and lowered her head slightly. Her pale little face showed a translucent texture under the lights of the corridor. The piece of cloth was still blinded in front of her eyes, and it was completely obsessed with everything that happened around her. Ignorance.
The scar on Ye Jia’s eyebrows deepened, and he walked in the most yin-qi direction.
The further forward, the more dimmed the light overhead, as if being covered with an ominous black veil.
And those ghosts are also gathering more and more. Most of them are harmless spirit bodies. Even if there are residual resentments, they are far from affecting the real world.
Some have even lost their minds over time and become thin like mist. They only have a shadowy outline, but they still instinctively move slowly in that direction.
The farther you go, the more ghosts there are, one layer on top of the other, and the air is as thick as porridge.
Ye Jia walked straight forward.
His body seemed to be enveloped in an invisible aura, without the extremely cold sullen aura, simply because of the existence of this person, the dense ghosts instinctively pushed away to the sides.
In the dark corridor, the young man’s figure was straight and straight, like a sharp blade, cutting apart the dense group of ghosts in front of him.
In the corridor filled with spirit bodies, a clear blank passage was drawn, as if Moses separated the sea, and then quickly closed behind him, as if those ghosts were subconsciously afraid of the person in front of them.
Soon, Ye Jia came to the center of the thick Yin Qi.
It was a ward door that was concealed.
The surrounding air was covered with a layer of ashes-like fog, and the corridor lights flickered in distant places, and the gloomy coldness invaded the texture, as if entering a different-dimensional space.
Ye Jia stretched out his hand and opened the door.
The air in the ward was dark and dirty, and an unpleasant rancid smell floated in the air.
With the faint light, I could see a little girl lying quietly on the bed in the center of the ward.
-It’s Sun Jiale impressively.
Ye Jia walked forward slowly, stood still by the bed, and looked down at Sun Jiale who was lying on the hospital bed.
Her expression was calm and serene, as if she was just falling asleep.
Ye Jia’s brow furrowed even tighter.
His gaze stopped at the bulge corner of the bed, and then he stretched out his hand and lifted the quilt with a “wow”.
The little girl was still asleep and motionless. The hospital gown on her body became wrinkled because of the long sleep. At the loose trousers, a little blackness could be seen from the thin ankles.
Ye Jia bent down and rolled up her trousers a little.
I saw a black and hideous handprint on the little girl’s left leg, as if it was still slowly tightening, and a protruding mark appeared on the skin, which looked particularly shocking.
…really.
His conjecture just now has been verified.
Ye Jia sighed, put the quilt back on Sun Jiale’s body, and helped her to tuck the quilt corner.
The little black hand probed his head on his shoulder: “What’s wrong? What did you find?”
“…It’s a sucker.”
Ye Jia pinched the bridge of her nose.
Strictly speaking, the smoker is not a ghost.
It does not exist in the real world, but is more like a special product in the game. This monster is used to lurking in the dark place where evil thoughts gather, like a leech hiding in a quagmire, waiting for an opportunity to attack the weak, and will be branded. The player with the imprint **** up little by little, and at the same time, the player who is branded with the imprint of the sucker will become a gathering that attracts evil spirits and evil spirits, until he is sucked out in fear and pain.
In short, it is a dirty thing that is bullying and afraid of hardship, but especially hiding.
Although the strength of a single is not strong, but sometimes it is more difficult to solve than high-level ghosts.
Ye Jia still doesn’t want to recall his experience after being entangled by these monsters in the novice period.
It’s unbearable to look back.
However, Ye Jia also didn’t know why Sun Jiale would leave his soul after being marked, after all, he was also the first time he saw an ordinary person entangled by a sucker.
“It’s actually a sucker?” Xiao Hei Shou took a breath.
Ye Jia glanced at it unexpectedly: “What? Do you know?”
“Not at all.” The little black hand played with his fingertips: “I just heard. After all, they are about to become extinct now. It is not easy to see one.”
Now it was Ye Jia’s turn to be surprised.
Although the monster like the smoker is not strong, its self-protection ability is superb. In addition, it likes to be in groups. In the game, it is just like a cockroach.
“What happened?” he asked.
“The king knocked out their lair,” said the little black hand.
In the game, ghosts and monsters are swept and swallowed, and cannibalism abounds everywhere, just like raising a gu, and only the strongest can survive.
Because this fact was too normal, Ye Jia stopped struggling.
—Although the reason for the shot may not be pleasant, in general, this king did a good job.
It’s so happy.
Ye Jia let out a sigh of relief, and moved his neck casually.
Under the long eyelashes, the light-colored eyes are slightly narrowed, and the dim and cold light presents a hazy and distant smoky gray, with a cold and non-human texture.
—Since the trouble is in front of his eyes, it still has to be taken care of.
After all, no matter how you say it, he is considered a public official.
How do you say that?
Serve the people wholeheartedly.
Of course… he really doesn’t mind making the genocide of the smokers a bit more thorough.
Ye Jia untied the cloth strip in front of Sun Jiale and knelt down.
The little girl’s eyelashes trembled and slowly opened her eyes.
Ye Jia didn’t waste time, and asked straightforwardly: “Do you remember where you fainted?”
“Yes… at school.”
“Where is the school specific, can you recall it?”
Sun Jiale blinked, as if trying to remember:
“I, I seem to be going to the bathroom? But I just walked into the bathroom, and I felt dizzy… and then I lost consciousness…”
toilet.
Not surprisingly, it is indeed the preference of the smoker.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Jia asked Sun Jiale for the address of her school in detail—coincidentally, her school was very close to the previous hospital, perhaps because of this, the school teacher would send her there after she was in a coma.
“I didn’t expect to go back to the starting point…” Xiao Hei Shou whispered.
Ye Jia glanced at it lightly.
Xiao Hei Shou stunned, shut up and retracted under his collar.
Sun Jiale looked around the unfamiliar environment timidly, and sharply saw herself lying on the hospital bed not far away.
Her figure stiffened slightly, and she couldn’t help shivering.
She mustered up the courage and asked cautiously: “Brother, am I… dead?”
In the next second, Sun Jiale felt that the top of her hair was heavily pressed, and then, the peaceful and quiet voice of the youth came from the top of her head, sounding inexplicably convincing and reassuring:
“Don’t worry, it won’t.”
·
After setting up Sun Jiale, Ye Jia left the hospital in the same way as before.
The journey of several hours was shortened to two minutes, and the destination was almost in the blink of an eye.
As soon as Ye Jia stepped out of the field, he was caught off guard by the blinding light before him.
In front of the school, which should have been empty, there were a few strange-looking black cars parked in front of the main entrance. Several headlights were on, lighting up the front door of the school. Several people in protective clothing were holding detection instruments. , Carefully paced around collecting data.
Several familiar letters are printed on the car:
PIAMB—
ParanormalInvestigationandManagementBureau
[Supernatural Phenomena Investigation and Administration]
Ye Jia: “…”
Wouldn’t it be so coincidental?
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind: “…Ye Jia?”
Ye Jia: “…”
Depend on.
What a coincidence.
He took a deep breath and turned his head slowly.
I saw Liu Zhaocheng frowning and looking at him, his bald head reflected a dazzling light under the strong light: “Aren’t you in the hospital? Why are you here?”
He glanced up and down at Ye Jia, his brows tightened:
“And still wearing a hospital gown?”
“…” Ye Jia was silent for a while, and bit the bullet and replied:
“I… sleepwalking.”
