Ghost Shelter System

After a week, Menggui Travel Agency’s fourth trip came to an end.

After finding a restaurant near He Yuan to have dinner, Dou Lin took a group photo of everyone at the entrance of an alley not far away, and everyone parted ways to say goodbye.

…

Guangling, night, 9 o'clock.

The members of Linjiang flew back, and only Qin Kun stayed.

After the trip, Feng Qiang asked him to wait here. Some matters required an investigator to meet Qin Kun.

Qin Kun didn't leave, and neither did Dou Lin.

In a darkroom, Qin Kun watched Dou Lin developing photos. This was the first time he saw him.

"Xiao Dou, are you in such a hurry?"

Dou Lin did not return to Jizhou. He borrowed a darkroom from a friend there and got busy. He didn't know how long he had been busy. Hearing Qin Kun ask questions after waking up from a nap, Dou Lin laughed and said: "It's an occupational disease. I can't wait for the work to be completed."

In the film camera, many photos were dark and blurry, or overexposed. Dou Lin was a little regretful that some abnormal photos were scrapped, but some were successfully taken!

It's just that most of the photos that were successfully taken are blurry... and no one may believe them if they are released.

"Teacher Dou, where are we?"

A young man wearing black-rimmed glasses looked hard at the photo and asked.

In the dark darkroom, there was only dim red light, and the young man could see the general outline. On the photo, the image was very strange, making people always feel a little... inconsistent?

This person is Dou Lin's friend and the owner of this photo studio, Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi used to be Dou Lin's assistant, but later resigned and went it alone and opened a photo studio in Guangling.

Hearing Xiao Qi's question, Dou Lin glanced at him and said, "Tu Shan."

"Tushan...where did you find such a big turtle prop?"

In that photo, it was a scene of a giant turtle carrying people, which was a bit mysterious.

Dou Lin smiled and said nothing, clipping the photos he had developed.

The clearest photo at the moment is of Lady Wen singing in the Huaize Ghost Town. Strangely, the developed photo automatically turned into black and white. There are several yang people among the ghosts, their clothes are particularly eye-catching, and Wen on the stage The lady transforms one into three, and her performance is full of emotion and emotion.

After stretching, the investigators from the General Bureau will arrive at 10pm, still 20 minutes away.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Kun asked, "Can I go out? It won't affect you, right?"

"Brother Qin, let me take you out. I just want to see you off. Xiao Qi, I'd like to trouble you with the remaining ones."

"It's okay, Teacher Dou, leave it to me!"

Dou Lin borrowed Xiao Qi's car and took Qin Kun out of the darkroom.

The appointed time arrived, and in a teahouse a few streets away, the sound of mahjong playing in the next room could be vaguely heard.

Dou Lin ordered a pot of tea in the hall, and Qin Kun was taken into a private room.

As soon as the door opened, a middle-aged man with short hair came forward and held Qin Kun's hand: "Mr. Qin! I am Huaize Lingzhu, Lu Xiu. Listen to Longxi Lu Overture, Yangcheng Fang Hao often mentions you, Qianxi Cen Qing is my adopted sister."

The other party mentioned all old acquaintances. Qin Kun held Lu Xiu's hand, and he paused and introduced: "This is the investigator Lao Yu this time."

A middle-aged man with gray sideburns, a few years older than Lu Xiu, came over: "Mr. Qin, I am Yu Wenping."

A very capable investigator, wearing a meticulous suit. After shaking hands, you can feel that the other person is a professional.

"I've met you two, just call me Qin Kun. Feng Qiang asked me to tell you about the Huaize Ghost Town. Please make a special trip to it."

"No trouble, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Qin." Yu Wenping smiled, gestured to sit down, took out his notebook and started recording.

Lu Xiu poured tea for the two of them and sat aside to accompany them.

"Mr. Qin, I heard that Cheng Wang is dead this time. Is it true?"

"No. But he became a puppet."

After Qin Kun finished speaking, Yu Wenping was stunned and took notes.

"Puppet? Can you tell me more details?"

"Huaize Ghost Town has changed its owner, and the new guy is a... fox. He is quite capable."

Fox Fairy...controls Cheng Wang?

Yu Wenping finished writing: "What is her purpose?"

"It has nothing to do with Yang Shi."

"Can you guarantee that?"

"No, but I will find an opportunity to kill her. Or...imprison her."

Yu Wenping felt relieved.

After all, Cheng Wang's name has already given them a headache, and now that there's another big guy here, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future. Since Mr. Qin seems to have a bad relationship with her, that's the best thing.

Yu Wenping has heard of Qin Kun's name for a long time. During the Maoshan Dan Conference, he heard from his colleagues that Qin Kun killed everyone, was powerful in life and death, and was the number one rookie!

Later, in Southeast Asia, he defeated two veteran seniors from the East, the Great Priest and the Tianli Monk, and scared off the Gu God of the Four Evil Gods, and his reputation was completely established.

The next thing to do was the filming of "The Way of Life and Death". He had seen that movie and was very encouraging. Atsushi Ashiya, the current speaker of Onnyangliao, was taught a lesson. No one thought that Mr. Qin was responsible for this. He was doing it with one hand, beating people until they were subdued, and even filming it, so talented!

From then on, Yu Wenping heard many things from his colleagues. In a word, Mr. Qin was a man of justice and a good friend.

"How is the situation in Huaize Ghost Town?"

"After being purged, Cheng Wang's eight-armed demons and Gu scholars were displayed in public. They seem to be alive. However, there are not many close people left. The order in the city is relatively stable and will not cause chaos in the underworld."

After Yu Wenping finished writing, he paused: "Mr. Qin, do you think Cheng Wang has a chance to escape control?"

Qin Kun couldn't answer.

The Fox clan doesn't have many destructive ghost skills. Swordsmanship is one of them, but it is very weak. Fox fire is somewhat powerful, but with the current strength of the Fox Emperor, I don't know if I can kill Cheng Wang with fox fire.

If he couldn't kill him, Qin Kun felt that Cheng Wang would always find a chance to escape from control.

That is not a ghost king who is willing to be a slave to others.

"might have."

Yu Wenping nodded. It seemed that the fox fairy was not very capable of controlling the field.

"Mr. Qin, why did that fox fairy come to Huaize Ghost City? Tell me what you can."

Qin Kun thought for a moment before replying: "Maybe it's because of... the city above Paris."

It was originally an ordinary report and record, but suddenly because of these words, the air became quiet.

Lu Xiu, who was drinking tea next to him, narrowed his eyes. Investigator Yu Wenping frowned.

The city above Paris...

They are the capable officers of the General Administration, how could they not know the significance of that city?

The Ghost Parliament of Europa has held countless meetings because of the appearance of that city. Speaker Du Xiu was so worried that he called Feng Qiang every now and then. The Soul Castle experimenters going to Paris have stopped working, and the research project has been reviewed. Is this the Ghost Parliament? A+ grade event! It is a major research accident.

The last time Heim Underworld and Wuwu Kingdom were photographed together, the severity was rated A level.

"Mr. Qin, I don't understand how the Fox Fairy's entry into Huaize Ghost City is connected with the city above Paris?"

Qin Kun did not answer directly, but said tactfully: "So if there is any news in Paris, please inform me quickly."

"Mr. Qin, can I continue to ask?"

Yu Wenping refused to give up.

Qin Kun thought for a while: "You ask first, and then if it's inconvenient to answer, I will remain silent."

"That fox fairy... came from that city above Paris?"

This question was very clever. It didn't ask anything that couldn't be discussed, so Qin Kun could only nod.

"yes."

"She...does she want to let someone else out?"

Yu Wenping's eyes became sharp.

Qin Kun is calling the old world, and he can guess the truth based on just a few actions. As expected, the General Administration has hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Qin Kun was silent.

Yu Wenping shuddered and recorded it: "Mr. Qin thinks that if the people in that city are released, how much disaster will it cause in Paris, on a scale of 1-5, with the highest level being 5."

Qin Kun stretched out his five fingers.

While Yu Wenping was recording, Lu Xiu suddenly reminded: "Old Yu, he has changed."

Yu Wenping looked again and saw Qin Kun making a six with his fingers, then it turned into a seven, then after a moment of hesitation it turned into an eight, and finally he was considering between eight and nine, unable to make a decision.

Yu Wenping felt a chill down his back at this moment.

Didn't he never deal with these abnormal human beings? Qin Kun's meaning was very clear. The people in the city were three or four levels more terrifying than the most terrifying level they had considered? !

Are you kidding me? ? ?

"Ahem, Qin, Mr. Qin..."

"Don't ask about this, I can't answer it. But I can guarantee that today's top-notch people can barely rank in that place. What the top old monsters in that city know... is better than the way of the secret door. The technique is still weird!”

What should be answered has been answered.

All that can be said has been said.

Yu Wenping was silent again. Qin Kun could not have said it more clearly.

Mr. Qin has also been to that city! ! !

this……

This was beyond Yu Wenping's cognition.

The city above Paris is just an illusion, without substance. It seems like a mirage when the shot is combined, and does not exist in this world.

How did Mr. Qin get in?

Yu Wenping was thinking hard, and when he was about to ask something, suddenly Dou Lin, who was waiting in the hall, barged in!

"Brother Qin! Oh no! Something happened to Xiao Qi!"

Qin Kun was stunned: "What's going on?"

"Xiao Qi called me just now and said that the last photo had been developed. Then...he suddenly burst into tears and told me that there were many people around him and he was so scared. Then the call was disconnected. I called again and he wasn't here. Service area…”

Dou Lin was sweating profusely.

If things hadn't been too hasty and a little weird, he wouldn't have been rude and barged in.

Holy shit. so many people?

What's happening here? Develop a photo and remove the person? Was it taken away by someone?

"Walk!"

Qin Kun made a quick decision and took Dou Lin out quickly. Lu Xiu and Yu Wenping were stunned and followed him.

Two cars parked downstairs of the photo studio one after another.

Dou Lin hurriedly walked in: "Where is Xiao Qi?"

The visitor at the front desk said respectfully: "Teacher Dou, Boss Qi is still in the darkroom."

Dou Lin quickly went upstairs. When he was about to open the door of the darkroom, Qin Kun suddenly pressed his shoulder.

Something's wrong in the room!

Behind him, Lu Xiu and Yu Wenping also followed, and suddenly found a lot of black air seeping out of the crack in the darkroom door.

"Lao Yu, you have such a strong ghost spirit..."

With a cold face, Lu Xiu took out a swing stick from his body and threw it away with all his strength.

Yes, what a ghostly spirit!

There's something wrong with this room...no, there's something wrong with the corridor as well.

It's hot in Guangling now, and there's no air conditioning in the corridor, so it's a bit too cold.

Lu Xiu stretched out his fingers and pressed them against the door, as if he was feeling something.

Next to him, Dou Lin felt that his eyes were blurred. When Lu Xiu used the stick just now, it seemed as if a camera's bright light flashed from the stick. The bright light seemed to be an illusion. After it dissipated, Dou Lin found that the stick was densely packed with objects. Engraved with words the size of tadpoles. I didn’t recognize any of them!

"Mr. Qin, help me hold back the battle. I'll go first!" Lu Xiu whispered, then took a few steps back and moved his shoulders and ankles.

Seeing Lu Xiu preparing to kick the door, a voice exclaimed: "My photo!"

Dou Lin suddenly remembered those photos of himself and hurriedly turned off the lights in the corridor. The next moment, Lu Xiu broke in through the door and his vision suddenly went dark.

Fuck...

Who the hell turned off the lights!

Just as he entered the house, Lu Xiu's eyes suddenly darkened, and he felt his head being slapped by an iron pot. The painful Lu Xiu cursed: "Who is it! Turn off the lights!"

While he was talking, another simple knife brought up the cold wind and hit him directly in front of him!

This time, Lu Xiu reacted quickly. He used the light in the darkroom to see clearly a dark figure approaching. He swung the stick in his hand, opened the knife, and at the same time struck the shadow with his head.

A scream appeared, as if accompanied by the sound of bones cracking, the black shadow's brain exploded, and blood splashed on Lu Xiu's face.

Lu Xiu wiped his face, and the blood turned into the wind and dispersed. He saw a room of dark shadows standing in place under the light, with an unconscious Yang Ren surrounded in the middle.

"You evil spirit without eyes, do you want to die?"

Lu Xiu noticed that these black figures were holding knives and gesticulating next to Yang Ren's head. He became furious, but he was a bit defensive and did not move.

"Jiejiejiejiejie... You're welcome. We won't force you. If you cooperate with shaving your hair and changing clothes today, you won't die!"

The words "shave your hair and make it easier to dress" completely angered Lu Xiu.

When the Southern Ming Dynasty was weak and the Manchu Qing Dynasty moved southward, the local people resisted because of this incident and were massacred, leaving no one alive.

Some of the suffering has been smoothed over with the passage of time, but the hatred passed down in the blood cannot be calmed down at all.

Looking back at history, regardless of Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing, regardless of Han people or ethnic minorities, anyone who does such a thing will be reviled for thousands of years.

Bai Qi has been worshiped as the God of War since ancient times. He has been scolded for thousands of years because of trapping and killing soldiers.

Cao Mengde was a great hero, and most of his notoriety came from massacres of large clans. Compared with Liu Bei, who never massacred cities and clans, Cao Cao's reputation was not half as great as Liu Bei's despite his astonishing literary and military skills.

This is true going back to the past, and this is true in future history. When Guangling City was destroyed, the sword was not sealed for ten days. This was not the tragedy of war, but the catharsis of hatred.

As a descendant of Guangling, Lu Xiu looked at the dark shadow in front of him, his mind faded and his eyes turned red.

"I...will kill you!"

Qin Kun held down Lu Xiu.

He knew the tragedy here, but when the cause and effect dissipated, even if the matter was not over, he should not arouse new hatred. He could not erase the trauma of history, and could only kill these provocative ghosts.

Things have a beginning and an end. Since they don't follow the rules and dare to violate taboos and harass the world of the world, they should end it.

The razor knife was sacrificed, Qin Kun's whole body was filled with yin energy, and the karma-seizing knife was wrapped in karma fire, which was fierce and powerful.

Qin Kun said with a smile: "Everyone, you are already dead. If you don't enjoy the peace of the underworld, why would you do this?"

The opponent's knife was gesturing next to Xiao Qi's head. Qin Kun was not afraid at all. He was sure to kill the opponent before he made a move.

But the next moment, a dim-witted dark figure took Qin Kun's arm and pulled him over.

"Shaving your head? Why are you standing over there? Come here quickly!"

Qin Kun was about to show off and start killing people when he was inexplicably pulled to the opposite side. Several evil ghosts protected Qin Kun and shouted to Lu Xiu: "Yang people over there, I tell you, we are both Han Family, it is the general trend to shave your hair and change your clothes, don’t make the mistake! Otherwise, when the bannermen enter the city, blood will flow like a river, we are doing it for your own good!"

Qin Kun was stunned: "Are you... Han Chinese?"

The fierce ghost glared at Qin Kun: "Shaving your head, don't interrupt me! I'm trying to persuade them."

Qin Kun's mouth twitched and he closed his mouth.

Lu Xiu was furious: "Since you are a Han, why did you defect to the Qing army back then?"

The Han man laughed with tears in his eyes: "Then tell me, can Daming be saved?!"

Another Han man who had his head shaved was also roaring: "If the Ming Dynasty can be saved, how can we become traitors!"

"Tell me!!! I'm a rough guy, I don't understand national affairs, but I know that the Ming Dynasty is coming to an end. I don't want to die for the country. I still have young, old, wives and children at home. Those corrupt officials enjoy their lives, and they will die when they die. My mother My dear, I am seventy-two this year, and I have never even eaten white flour steamed buns. I want her to live a good life, but Ming Dynasty does not have this ability!"

With one question, most of Lu Xiu's anger disappeared.

How can we blame these big-headed soldiers for such a big thing as treason... They are just chess pieces that have eaten their last meal but failed to finish their meal.

In the late Ming Dynasty, corruption and party strife became stubborn diseases. After Wei Zhongxian's death, the balance was broken. Subsequently, wars broke out in various places, and the people were in dire straits.

Lu Xiu didn't know how to answer.

He said with difficulty: "Can you live a good life by joining the Qing army? Do you know that if Guangling City is destroyed and the sword is not sealed for ten days, the city will be like purgatory? Have you ever experienced this life?"

"How not!"

Another Han man cried loudly: "My parents died in the war! My uncle ate his own children and survived, and finally went crazy. I have seen the worst things! It's all the fault of those dog officials and dog emperors!" !!”

Qin Kun heard two groups of people arguing loudly. He was trapped in the ghosts. He could have taken action to kill these evil mourners, but for some reason, the razor in his hand became loose and loose.

Another Manchu said in a low voice: "I am a warrior and we obey orders. You think I am wrong. It is because you think that when dynasties change, there will always be bloodshed. If you are not convinced, you can kill me. As long as you are in peace. In the prosperous age, who wants to live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife? Do you think we just like killing people?"

Yu Wenping saw Lu Xiu's mind wavering and stood up: "Everyone had their own positions in the past. Let's put aside for now. Isn't it a provocation for you to disturb the world today?"

"Disturbing the world of the underworld? Fart, we are not dead yet!"

"That's it, listen to my advice and shave your hair to make it easier for you to wear clothes, otherwise you will be in trouble..."

"He who is shaving his head, don't just stand there like that. Shave that guy's head when he's unconscious. We're doing it for his own good..."

There was chatter in his ears, and Qin Kun finally understood.

This group of evil mourners did not realize that they were already dead.

Their lingering memories told them that if they had not shaved their heads and changed into clothes, they would have faced the danger of the city being destroyed and massacred.

Lu Xiu was silent and Yu Wenping was silent. Dou Lin took the courage to walk in and found the unconscious Xiao Qi holding a photo in his hand. It was a photo of everyone from the travel agency slapping each other in an alley after eating.

In the black and white photo, it was originally just Qin Kun, Wu Senran, Huo Qi, Tu Xuanxuan, Mi Taizi, and Yuan Xinghan, but after it was washed out, a group of evil spirits followed behind them.

There is also a sign hanging at the entrance of the alley - Screw Knot Top. The corpses of the massacre were piled up to the ceiling in this alley, hence the name.

The photo was handed to Qin Kun. Dou Lin had seen many ghosts along the way and was no longer surprised by them.

"Brother Qin...are these people...the remnants of the dead in that alley?"

Qin Kun nodded.

One of the signs of a remnant soul is incomplete memory.

"They are not here to kill Xiao Qi."

"..."

"Let them go?"

"..."

"At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Hebei recruited troops many times, and the wars were cruel. Countless people died in military disasters in all dynasties..."

"..."

"We should not give up, but we should understand. It is cruel for the weak to prey on the strong. But it also inspires us. At least we should not live in the past. Only by moving forward can we become stronger and avoid tragedy from happening again, right?"

Qin Kun looked at Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu turned his head and silently put away the stick.

Qin Kun took a deep breath: "You... are already dead."

He looked around and saw a group of ghosts confused.

I don’t know what nonsense this shaved guy is talking about.

Qin Kun smiled and said: "Xu Tao."

A male ghost with clear braids appeared. As soon as he came out, he saw the fierce ghosts around him and said, "Master, what's the matter?"

"Take these remnant souls to your mirage world. If they die in a hazy way, let them continue to live in a hazy way."

"also."

"Yeah. Take it away."

Xu Tao had the majesty of an evil spirit, which made those evil spirits a little instinctively afraid. However, seeing this man's long braids, he felt much more relaxed.

Xu Tao took out the Eight Banner Armor and trembled: "Come in, everyone!"

The armor leaves were rising and falling, and the ghosts seemed to be summoned and got into them one after another.

The darkroom became empty.

Xu Tao felt that it was a bit difficult for him because of the heavy armor of Eight Banners, and said to Qin Kun: "Master, I will go back first."

"good."

"By the way, there's another good thing..."

"What's wrong?"

"After you took us to the Eighteen Prisons last time, there was an additional door in the City God's Order, which was connected to the Eighteen Prisons. These guys can not only help me with work, but also build a city in the Eighteen Prisons, both of which are perfect!"

Qin Kun was stunned. The City God's Order still has such a function?

After thinking about it, he nodded: "How is the city construction going?"

"It's very early...the foundation has not even been laid one-tenth yet. I'm leaving first!"

Xu Tao disappeared on the spot.

In the darkroom, the ghostly aura dissipated. Qin Kuner pointed at Xiao Qi's chest, and a burst of yang energy poured in. His nervous breathing slowly became calmer, as if he was having a sweet dream.

Qin Kun and others slowly retreated, and the lights in the corridor were turned on.

"Mr. Qin..."

Lu Xiu stopped Qin Kun, and Qin Kun turned around.

"sorry to bother you."

Qin Kun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

There are so many troubles, today’s matter is nothing.

"It's hard for you too."

"Oh, it's too complicated, let him go. This brother said it well, you shouldn't live in the past, only by moving forward can you become stronger and avoid tragedy from happening again."

Qin Kun didn't know if Lu Xiu had figured it out, so he patted his shoulder comfortingly: "If there's nothing else, I'll leave tonight. Take me to say hello to Feng Qiang!"

Qin Kun held Lu Xiu's hand and said goodbye to Yu Wenping.

Downstairs, Dou Lin drove Qin Kun to the airport in his car.

At the door of the photo studio, Yu Wenping lit two cigarettes and gave one to Lu Xiu. Lu Xiu frowned and said, "I don't smoke!"

"When a man is feeling melancholy, it's always good to have one. Don't be too hard on yourself. There are some things that you have to think about slowly..."

Lu Xiu curled his lips and let the ash burn out in his hand, then took a last puff and threw it on the ground: "Old Yu, what kind of person do you think Mr. Qin is? He doesn't seem to be as ruthless as the legend says."

"You ask me, who should I ask? In short, he is a person who no one can see through." After a pause, Yu Wenping said, "Feng Yanwang said that."
