Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 99 Bursting silently
Li Jun silently watched the dividing line that was still expanding, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"The first one was Dachang City, now it's Dajin City, which city will be next? The evil spirits have revived, and the world is like a prison."

"Even if I die, I will let my ghost fire burn the world."

Beneath the silent appearance lies the silent echo of the heart exploding.

The eerie green ghost fire spread all over the sky, but it could not ignite the veil that concealed the truth. Even Li Jun could only barely glimpse the original outline of the city through the ghost fire, but could not invade.

"The ghost's den is stronger than the will-o'-the-wisp, and its existence is extremely special. It did not suppress my den. It is more like I unfolded the will-o'-the-wisp's den in the ghost's den."

Under the cover of night, Li Jun's body seemed to be melting, with drops of liquid like wax dripping down and then quickly solidifying. At the same time, a pungent smell of burning began to spread, as if Li Jun's flesh and blood were being burnt.

"Oh shit!"

Li Jun cursed angrily, feeling angry at his own incompetence. Guihuo was defeated in the starving ghost incident, and now in the Otsu City incident, Guihuo was still defeated. He began to lose confidence in himself.

"Try the ghost candle. The flame of the ghost candle can dispel ghosts."

Although discouraged, Li Jun did not give up hope.

Green flames rose, but the invincible ghost candle also became dim at this moment. The gray and white world did not retreat because of this, and the truth was not revealed.

"Li Jun, what's the situation?"

Cao Yanhua's anxious voice came from the satellite phone on his chest, and it was obvious that the angry shout just now was heard.

"I'm sorry, with my current abilities, I can't stop the spread of the ghosts, nor can I determine Cao Yang's location. I just tried, but the ghost candle can't dispel the ghosts. Now we can only pray that Cao Yang can survive and successfully resolve this incident."

Li Jun said dejectedly, and at the same time, his figure flashed away from this area. The gray-white border was still expanding. 1/4 of the entire Otsu City had been lost, and the expansion of this border had a tendency to accelerate. The annexation of the entire Otsu City was a foreseeable future.

"Retreat first, don't fight hard, I will think of a countermeasure."

This was Wang Xiaoming's voice. As the chief psychic expert, he would naturally pay attention to such an incident. Moreover, Cao Yang still had some unfinished transactions with him. Wang Xiaoming could not bear to let such a person with secrets die easily.

"Understood. I will expand the blockade. But if this trend continues, it will probably affect Dajing City in about three days. It's best to have Chen Yi and his men prepared. In addition, the residents of Dajin City also need to be resettled, and the surrounding cities must prepare for temporary reception."

"Understood. Headquarters will arrange it as soon as possible. You will take over Otsu City now. I don't ask you to solve the incident, but I hope you can provide more information about the evil spirits and the incident. I will send the right people to support you based on the information."

Li Jun appeared in Wanghai Building, which was a temporary command center. Cao Yang's liaison officer Hu Mingtao was conducting urban deployment here at the moment.

"Detective Li, what should we do now?"

"The blockade was extended to half of the city, and the evacuated residents were sent to Dajing City and several surrounding cities."

"I see." Hu Mingtao had a complicated expression. As a liaison officer, he also had some understanding of the starvation incident in Dachang City some time ago. The population of that city had shrunk by almost nine-tenths. But he did not expect that it had only been such a short time and Otsu City seemed to be facing such a disaster.

As dawn approached, Hu Mingtao, with dark circles under his eyes, finally completed the work of expanding the blockade and evacuating the people, and he fell into a deep sleep sitting in the chair.

In the Memory Building, after witnessing death all night, Cao Yang got a better understanding of this ghost.

"The rule of ghosts seems to be to recall the appearance of ghosts, which is somewhat similar to ghost paintings, but not exactly the same. After all, ghost paintings do not construct a memory world."

Despite this, Cao Yang was never able to truly capture the image of the ghost, because human memories were random and ghost killings were even more random, and it was impossible for him to know in advance who would trigger the pattern.

However, this is not an unsolvable problem. Cao Yang spent several hours gathering all the living people in the building together. It is roughly estimated that there are thousands of them. Fortunately, the Beichen Building is large enough and one floor is enough to accommodate these people. However, the difficulty of management increases exponentially.

"Concentration won't work either. As long as the ghost appears, everyone will see its appearance, which will make the triggering pattern simpler and the speed of death will be accelerated."

Cao Yang, who had just gathered everyone, had to disperse them after careful consideration, with 200 people staying on the same floor and sounding the alarm immediately if anyone died.

Just like that, the time came at night.

"The death toll today is not high, no more than 50, but I still haven't managed to confirm what kind of existence that ghost is."

Cao Yang sat in the corner in a somewhat decadent manner, with two "golden" body bags casually thrown aside.

On this day, the gray-white border expanded outward by ten kilometers. Li Jun and the staff headed by Hu Mingtao also evacuated Otsu City. Then he returned alone and stood on a tall building that had not yet been covered. He looked at this large city that was almost "razed to the ground" with a complicated expression.

On this day, Wang Xiaoming watched the live situation of Otsu City being sent to him, with his brows furrowed all day long. Unfortunately, he did not analyze any key information from it.

Ten kilometers, this speed was a bit slower than the first day, but no one was happy about it, because no matter how much the gray and white world expanded, whether the speed was fast or slow, the ghosts were affecting the city, and it was only a matter of time before the ghost den wiped out the entire Otsu City.

In the empty and flat city, the eerie ghost fire is still burning. The headquarters escorted a batch of special items that are contaminated with the supernatural and threw them into Li Jun's ghost den. This is also Li Jun's own request.

According to him, the ghost of the will-o'-the-wisp is not as powerful as that ghost and needs some combustion aids. He wants to see if the will-o'-the-wisp can go further with the addition of combustion aids.

However, unfortunately, the fiercely burning ghost fire still could not help Li Jun invade this illusory ghost cave, and could not even help him see the original outline of the city.

"It still failed."

Li Jun stretched out a hand that was burned black and smelly, dug up the solidified wax on the ground and stuffed it back into the holes on his body, as if he was patching a torn piece of clothing or a pair of shoes.

The wax ghost is the second ghost that Wang Xiaoming helped Li Jun control. When the ghost and the human move in unison, the human will be assimilated into a wax figure. At the same time, the ghost is also eroding Li Jun's body, trying to turn Li Jun into a wax figure, but the burning of the ghost fire will also be borne by the wax figure.

Not only that, Wang Xiaoming also slightly revealed another plan, a plan that would allow Li Jun to take a step further but also surprise him.
