Aoba Office

His fingers pounced on the strange woman and grabbed her calf.

She wore flesh-colored stockings, winter style, very thick, but they were still scratched by nails, leaving a few bloody marks on her legs.

The woman screamed.

The man stepped forward, grabbed a few severed fingers, and pulled hard.

The two sides struggled, and the manicure on the finger was inserted into the woman's leg, while the man's finger was pulled out.

I reached out and wiped off my nails. But I didn’t treat the woman’s injuries.

When I raised my eyes, I found that the woman was trembling and her eyes fell behind me.

"Big brother!" Mu Ai shouted anxiously.

I turned around and saw a hand appearing on the edge of the elevator shaft. The hand grabbed the floor and climbed up hard.

This scene actually looks familiar.

The ghosts who stay here seem to like to use this scary method.

I felt nothing, but the others were frightened and screamed.

Another hand reached up and grabbed the floor. This time the hand had no fingers and left blood stains on the ground.

The woman's head emerged from the elevator shaft, staring at us.

"Help me...save me...save me..." As she spoke, she vomited blood, and there was blood flowing from her head.

Soon, another hand reached out from the elevator shaft.

The people who had just fallen climbed out one after another, calling for help in dull voices, leaving blood stains on the ground.

I walked over.

Mu Ai dragged me, intending to stop me.

"It's okay." I comforted, continued forward, and stood in front of those people.

They have become corpses, controlled by Yin Qi.

I looked down at the elevator shaft. It was dark inside. On the contrary, there is light shining down from above.

I looked up and saw the elevator doors two floors up were open. The light comes in from there.

The light flickered, as if there was a bad electrical connection there.

In that flickering light, I saw a figure.

Compared to the physical objects and illusions seen with the naked eye, the Yin Qi I saw was more concrete and detailed.

It's the ghost that jumped on the elevator just now.

The cable swayed.

The cloud of yin energy fell there, and the ghost seemed to be looking down at me from a high place.

He climbed down the cable to where he had cut it himself.

The lights on this level also flickered.

I could feel the bodies touching my shoes and pant legs. The people behind him shouted anxiously.

I ignored it and just stared at the ghost.

Suddenly, his figure disappeared, and the corpses became violent.

The one who had already climbed half of his body onto the floor turned around and attacked me.

I don't hide my abilities.

The body that touched me suddenly disappeared. Under the impact of my ability, their speed of reversing time became so fast that it was impossible to see clearly with the naked eye.

The shouting stopped.

The body at his feet disappeared, leaving only some blood stains.

The cloud of Yin Qi also flew away and dissipated in the air.

I just saw the chains on him. It's a ghost, and the chains wrapped around it are the same as those of the security guards.

Whether it's the yin energy or the chains, it proves that he is the subordinate of the courier ghost.

"Are you a capable person?" the strange man asked.

"What you saw is all hallucination, don't be afraid. The more afraid you are, the more vulnerable you are to attack." I reminded them and decided to go downstairs.

If this continues, who knows how many victims there will be.

I was about to pull Mu Ai away when I heard the man's angry voice.

"It's you! You're the one who brought those ghosts! We've been working here for so long, and we've never encountered anything like this! You have to be a righteous superman, a superhero, and don't implicate us! We haven't done anything! While we abide by the law, we still have to live a life and support our families! If you want to die, you can do it! It doesn’t matter if you harm us!”

He vented his anger, his face turned red and his neck thickened, and his roar echoed throughout the floor.

Xiaotian and the woman who were crying stopped crying, and Liu Yingjie stopped yelling.

I looked at the man and made eye contact with him.

He has the chains of a normal person, and there are quite a few ghost king chains hanging on him, but there is no obvious difference.

As he said himself, he may be law-abiding and a good citizen. At the same time, he also abides by every Ghost King rule he learns and lives a normal life.

A normal life in this world.

He just wants to live, live peacefully and steadily. He doesn't care if the Ghost King kills other people.

I thought of a question that I had never thought about before.

"Do you know where the power of those ghosts comes from?" I asked.

The man stared at me and sneered: "What do you want to say? Because we are afraid, can they kill us? Just like what you just said, don't be afraid, it is all a lie? You said it easily!"

"Yes. That's true in your opinion." I nodded and admitted, "Anyone who abides by their rules and is afraid of them is providing them with power."

The man's face stiffened.

"After a person dies, most people are ordinary souls after death. With bare hands, they don't have much power. A few people with extraordinary talents even have one more knife in their hands than others. The fear and fear of living people I only gave them weapons similar to guns because I abide by their rules. "Originally, they couldn't kill you."

The living gave up.

Starting from the first person to give up, more and more people choose to give up and compromise. Even the officials chose to guide the people to give up resistance and abide by those rules. The government may send people to deal with those ghost kings. But one goes off and the other goes up, and the result is that the Ghost King's strength grows much faster than that of a living person.

After the living person put a noose around his neck, he strangled himself bit by bit.

Of course, many people have been tied to a noose all their lives and have died. Naturally, they will tell their family and friends that if they keep like this, they can survive.

"You will soon become the livestock they raise." I said the last words and pulled Mu Ai towards the stairs.

That is the future world.

The living became the ghost king’s livestock. Each ghost king runs his own breeding farm and happily chooses his own daily food.

The weird normal life can be maintained not because living people are strong enough or smart enough, but because the ghost king needs people and food.

This is a bit like the process of human breeding of animals and plants. Those broiler chickens, breeding pigs, rice, and apples are able to exist on a large scale and in large numbers, surpassing the precious and endangered wild animals, not because they have greater vitality, but because of human needs. Thousands of years of nurturing and screening genes have turned them into what humans need, and they are reproduced under human hands.

It doesn't take that long for the Ghost King to cultivate living people.

Perhaps, it has been so long since the Ghost King cultivated living people.

Starting from the first ghost, they knew nothing about hunting humans, and gradually developed the current breeding method.

The man didn't stop me again.

I pulled Mu Ai into the nearby stairwell and went downstairs step by step.

"Brother, are you angry?" Mu Ai asked.

"No. I just figured out some things." I answered.

This world is hopeless.

This is something I just figured out.

The living people here have adapted to this kind of life.

It is extremely difficult to change them.

Chickens and ducks in farms will only die if they are released into the wild. Maybe depending on the population size, some of them will survive, change their habits, and be better than the canaries raised in the cage, but most of them will perish.

I have to find a way to return to the original world line.

Wu Ling and others, Shou Zi and others, as well as my parents and sister, were waiting for me.
