The Psychic Resurrection: Riding the Mirage

Chapter 49: Pseudo-rules and strange stories

Late at night two days later.

Rose Security Company.

In the empty conference hall on the top floor, soft lights illuminated the entire room.

"Chairman, are you summoning us in the middle of the night for something urgent?" The tall, strong man wearing a hat gently wiped the knife in his hand and asked casually.

Others present were sitting, standing or chatting lazily, and seemed to be very relaxed and comfortable.

The chairman said with a straight face: "Don't worry, let's take a look at this first."

He typed on the keyboard in front of him, a curtain fell behind him, and the projector started working.

A few seconds later, everyone looked horrified, "A scientific research institution for special anomalies directly under the military!"

Ordinary ghost controllers may not know the existence of the Abnormal Scientific Research Department, but Rose Security Company has a wide network of contacts and is very aware of the power of the Scientific Research Department. It is a violent organization in the true sense!

Therefore, in the previous incident in Yuzhou City, Qiangwei Security Company was obviously wronged, but it still immediately admitted defeat and did not dare to follow up and confront them.

"What does the Scientific Research Department want to do when they come to visit us?" asked a young man wearing glasses.

The chairman typed on the keyboard again, and a new document was projected on the projector, "The Scientific Research Department has evidence that the [Ghost Swamp] incident in Yuzhou City was directed and acted by the local person in charge, Yue Renchun, and the person in charge of Linjiang City, Hu Jiu, may have been involved in the incident." Collusion. The Scientific Research Department has issued an order to send commissioners to assist us and secretly arrest those two people to prove our innocence."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They just caught two ghost masters. Even the city leaders didn't think it was too difficult.

But the man with glasses frowned: "With the strength of the scientific research department, we can arrest people by ourselves. Why do they have to involve us? I'm worried that they went beyond the headquarters to act privately. After the incident is over, they will attack the person in charge." Put all the blame on us!”

The chairman nodded solemnly: "You are right, but we have no choice. Have you all heard the news about the destruction of Beifeng Commune? Whether it is the headquarters or the scientific research department, the strength of such state agencies is far beyond imagination. Just because The current domestic situation is complicated, and the leaders above do not want to focus on internal friction.”

"But when the situation stabilizes, a reckoning may be necessary. An arm cannot twist a thigh. No matter how powerful civil organizations are, they are unlikely to be bigger than the country. Compliance is the best solution."

The man with glasses lowered his head, vaguely feeling that something was not right with the chairman recently. This was not the first time he knew how powerful the headquarters and scientific research department were. Wasn't he still crazy in the past? Why did you suddenly become intimidated?

Suddenly someone suggested: "Can we not get involved in this matter? Can't we secretly report the private actions of the scientific research department to the headquarters?"

Pairs of eyes glanced over, as if looking at someone mentally retarded.

"The headquarters and the scientific research department are two sides of the same coin, just like an inseparable couple. Your boss lady quietly tells you to do something, and you back up and report it to your boss. Even if they have a temporary quarrel, wait until they reconcile. When, do you think... you will still have a good life?"

After listening to the chairman's slow explanation, the person who just made the suggestion suddenly remembered his experience working in a private company run by a husband and wife. There were two big leaders and two talkers. Once there was a disagreement, it was always the lower-level employees who were hurt in the end!

"And the most important thing is that the headquarters may not be unaware of the actions of the scientific research department, and may just turn a blind eye." The chairman rubbed his temples, feeling very troubled.

Qiangwei Security Company was inexplicably blamed and seemed to be involved in a conspiracy. It would not be easy to escape.

"Don't be pessimistic, everyone. Prepare for action tomorrow. All you have to do is catch the two ghost masters. It's not a big deal. I'll take care of the rest!"

After speaking, the chairman announced the dissolution of the meeting.

The next day, a group of heavily armed ghost masters gathered at Rose Security Company. They all put on disguises to try to hide their identities.

The Anomaly Scientific Research Department sent a tall man with a kind face, who became the captain of the team by default, said a few words, and then went straight to Yuzhou City.

It came up empty.

Yue Renchun was not at home. Not long after he left, he did not conceal his whereabouts, and everyone chased him to Linjiang City.

Unfortunately, it's still a step too late.

After killing Beifeng Commune, Hu Jiu and Yue Renchun made an appointment at a time when both of them were free, and traveled together with the pendant Ye Songlan, and their destination was Yuezhao City.

Yue Renchun: "Headquarters called and asked what we are going to do?"

Hu Jiu: "Save people."

Yue Renchun: "Who to save?"

Hu Jiu: "A friend of yours."

"Ah?" Yue Renchun was a little confused, but then he realized, "You just made an excuse!"

Hu Jiu emphasized: "I'm not making excuses, it's you who are making excuses."

Yue Renchun curled his lips: "Is there any difference?"

"No difference." Hu Jiu looked calm.

In fact, there is a big difference.

From the perspective of the headquarters, it was Yue Renchun who took the initiative to find Hu Jiu, took the initiative to find excuses, and took the initiative to go to Yuezhao City. He was the mastermind, and Hu Jiu was probably just a cannon fodder.

The cunning and cunning Hu Jiu did not want to take responsibility, "If you think the excuse just now is not enough, you can also say that we went to hunt Zhao Lifeng all the way to Yuezhao City."

"This reason is quite reliable." Yue Renchun didn't care about Hu Jiu's little scheme at all. He was very proud and high-spirited now. He felt like the son of destiny, and his sense of misfortune and blessing was also taking effect...

"It's followed by a bunch of little tails." Yue Renchun reminded.

Hu Jiu said: "Don't worry, let's see if they have the courage to follow them into Yuezhao City!"

The answer is no.

All the ghost controllers from Qiangwei Security Company stopped outside the city. The special commissioner of the Scientific Research Department did not act rashly. Instead, he immediately contacted his superiors and reported the situation.

"Why do those two guys come here?" the strong man wearing a hat asked in a low voice.

"How would I know?" A thoughtful look appeared on the bespectacled man's face.

Yuezhao City is a small county town. A strange supernatural event has enveloped the entire city. The reason why it is called "weird" is because although this supernatural event covers a wide area, there have been no casualties so far.

It's just that it's difficult for people who enter Yuezhao City to come out again. The city is full of weird rules. There are only two ways to think of it, follow the rules and find the correct exit, and use the extremely terrifying ghost realm to forcefully leave.

After the headquarters sent people to investigate the situation, they left it alone for the time being.

Citizens are in almost no danger, and communication signals are not interrupted. They can still access the Internet. However, the headquarters controls the network. Any keywords about abnormal phenomena in Yuezhao City will be deleted instantly after they are posted online. For such a remote small county, as long as we manage public opinion and replenish supplies regularly, there is really no need to rush to deal with it.

Someone once proposed that the ghost controllers who owned the ghost domain take out the citizens of Yuezhao City in batches, but this proposal was rejected. Ghost controllers with ghost realms are already scarce, and ghost realms with high enough strength are even rarer. We also have to consider the scope of the ghost realm. Transferring a city's population may consume people to death. Such masters are used to Being a transport worker is not worth it.

And the citizens just can't leave the city. They are all ordinary people and are still alive and well. If they enter the ghost realm and suffer supernatural erosion, it will be called a loss outweighing the gain!

Yue Renchun and Hu Jiu had already shown their IDs and crossed the blockade.

Not knowing what kind of benefits or threats the Scientific Research Department had promised, everyone from Qiangwei Security Company caught up with them after a while.

Yuezhao City, in front of a certain department store.

Beautifully dressed young men and women were shopping arm in arm, a few students passing by were having a heated discussion about the shortcomings of a popular TV series, and a delivery boy was riding a motorcycle through the streets...

Everything seemed very peaceful and harmonious.

Hu Jiu looked around cautiously and saw no signs of any supernatural events. However, ever since he entered the city, the ghost book in his arms had been restless, as if he had met his destined partner and couldn't wait to get together. Two became one, and even Hu Jiu seemed to be infected by this impulse.

"Let's find a place to live first." Yue Renchun said from the side.

Hu Jiu nodded.

Ye Songlan was like a puppet on strings, closely following Yue Renchun's footsteps.

Halfway through, Hu Jiu said: "According to the data, the situation in this city is somewhat similar to a new type of horror story popular on the Internet - regular ghost stories. Yuezhao City seems to have turned into a ghost story scene. According to the regular routine, we may I see weird signs on the roadside, or pick up small pieces of paper with messy handwriting, which contain a lot of confusing and contradictory rules..."

Hearing these words, Yue Renchun rolled his eyes: "What are you daydreaming about? This is reality. I will give you a lot of known rules in advance. Believe it or not, those researchers with super high IQs at the headquarters can find the flaws and loopholes in minutes." Find them all? Only the support team in the novel is like a group of salty fish who can only call 666."

Hu Jiu ignored Yue Renchun's complaints.

The weird rules in Yuezhao City are indeed cruel and realistic. There is no "organizer" to tell the "competitors" the rules in advance that are difficult to distinguish between true and false. Everything needs to be explored and tested on the initiative, and then summarized bit by bit.

But relatively, the risk factor is also very low. Even if the rules are violated, there will be no accidents. There seems to be a lack of punishment mechanism, so the city still maintains good order.

Two rules that have been summarized so far——

1. Don’t break laws and disciplines.

2. When you encounter someone in difficulty, please offer to help.

There was too little known information, and Hu Jiu couldn't figure out what to do.

Yue Renchun was too lazy to analyze. With his strength, Yuezhao City couldn't trap him. He was just fulfilling his promise now in exchange for the key puzzle piece in Hu Jiu's hand. He really needed that ghost!

He was slightly interested in the source of the strange rules, but not much. It was too weak, and after a long struggle, no one was killed. He was mainly curious about why Hu Jiu was targeting it.

At this time, a little girl suddenly walked up to a few people with a smile and raised her head: "Hello, uncle and aunt, your bags are so heavy, do you need me to help you carry them?"

Yue Renchun was stunned for a second. Why did he become an uncle? Shouldn't it be called Pigeon?

Hu Jiu smiled: "What a good boy who is willing to help others, but the bags we carry are too heavy, so we don't need your help."

The bag is full of gold products and the like.

After being rejected, the girl's eyes turned red, but Hu Jiu would not waver at all, and would continue to move forward.

Yue Renchun seemed to have softened his heart towards the little Lolita, but he didn't move. Ye Songlan stood up and said, "Little sister, I want to find a hotel with a better environment. Can you take me there?"

The girl immediately smiled again: "The hotel is very close to here, please come with me."

Many passers-by nearby were looking at this scene secretly, with strange expressions.

Yue Renchun motioned for Hu Jiu to follow without any trace, and they all noticed the changes in the expressions of passers-by.

Is the little girl influenced by the rules and doing good deeds? Or is there any other purpose?

The girl walked in front and led the way, Ye Songlan followed her closely, Hu Jiu and Yue Renchun followed side by side, keeping an eye on all directions and listening to all directions.

A few minutes later, the girl stopped and pointed to a place not far away, "We are here, the hotel has a good environment and is relatively cheap."

"Thank you, little sister." Ye Songlan said gently.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do." The girl was full of joy and jumped away.

Hu Jiu and Yue Renchun looked at each other and looked at the hotel where people came in and out from time to time. Did they really just meet an enthusiastic child, without any hidden dangers and conspiracies?

"Is it the rules that are working? Could it be that this supernatural event is beneficial to human society?" Yue Renchun murmured to himself.

Out of caution, they did not stay in that hotel, but changed direction and walked towards a place with fewer people.

Hu Jiu's opinion was that the intelligence from the headquarters had not been updated for a long time, so it would be better to let Ye Songlan go to investigate first.

Yue Renchun was shocked and looked at Hu Jiu with a beastly look: "Xiao Lan is our partner, and even more so my beloved relative. How can you let her take risks alone!"

"Hehe." Hu Jiu gave him an abstract anthropomorphic smile.

In the distance, an old woman suddenly fell down. There seemed to be no surveillance and no pedestrians around.

Hu Jiu and Yue Renchun were walking forward, and the scene in front of them suddenly became trance.

"Be careful!" Yue Renchun roared.

A second later, the vision returned to normal, and they inexplicably retreated back to the position more than ten steps ago.

Hu Jiu took a breath, "It seems that the supernatural events in Yuezhao City are more serious than expected. The information from the headquarters did not mention this situation at all."

"Don't move around first, and see what behavior triggered the mechanism just now." Yue Renchun said.

Ye Songlan walked forward on his own, and Hu Jiu and Yue Renchun stood in place to observe.

After walking a dozen steps...

Shua——

Ye Songlan flashed back to the original place.

Hu Jiu's face was solemn: "I didn't notice anything."

"Me too!" Yue Renchun stepped back lightly.

After walking a few steps...

Shua——

Yue Renchun also returned to the original place.

He looked unhappy: "It seems that we are locked in this place and can't leave too far from here."
