The Psychic Resurrection: Riding the Mirage
Chapter 52: Jigsaw puzzle of evil spirits that attract each other
Hu Jiu and Yue Renchun sent the man with broken hands and feet to the hospital.
Even though he had become a ghost servant, he was still bound by the rules.
On the way, he revealed some information - there were guys who survived alone in this city, and they did not join their chat group to go along with the corruption; when the rules first appeared, they would not make people regress inexplicably, and the punishment would be deepened little by little, and it might become more outrageous in the future; many people had successfully escaped from this city...
After leaving the hospital, Hu Jiu and the other two walked in the direction of the explosion.
With Xiao Lan leading the way and avoiding "obstacles", they did not delay too long on the way.
The explosions that sounded from time to time were caused by the Rose Team.
The ghost riders of the Rose Security Company are not weak, on the contrary, they are all very powerful. They are not those who will be arrogant to the point of being boundless when they have power, thinking that they are the sons of destiny. They all know their position very well - short-lived ghost riders, running for survival.
After entering Yuezhao City and encountering abnormal phenomena, the smart man with glasses immediately took the most correct response measures based on past experience.
Unfortunately, they took the wrong first step and there was no turning back.
The man with glasses found that his teammates had problems, and immediately took more violent actions, seeking nothing else but a smooth retreat.
The supernatural events in Yuezhao City are too weird!
The information from the headquarters is sometimes unreliable!
When Hu Jiu arrived, the scene was very spectacular.
The police and enthusiastic people surrounded a group of "criminals", one of whom opened his mouth wide, and an explosion sounded in his throat, and even the surrounding air was buzzing and vibrating, slowly pushing away the crowd.
A large amount of filthy and smelly water flowed on the surface, and a human figure made of sewage kept trying to break through, but repeatedly retreated.
Hu Jiu was stunned, this ability... is very familiar, it seems that a ghost rider he killed some time ago was playing with water.
The unstable supernatural aura surged everywhere, and too many ghost riders entered Yuezhao City at once, and they were still activating their abilities at this time, and the rules were inevitably disturbed.
The strategy of the man with glasses worked. Although the Rose Team was still retreating, the interval was getting longer and the position after retreating was no longer the previous location. They were evacuating slowly.
However, the man with glasses was not happy at all. After so long, several members of the team had given up resistance and surrendered. As time went by, they might not be able to hold on and would be wiped out!
"What should I do? Am I going to die here?" The surface of the glasses man's lens flashed with a dim light.
Hu Jiu was standing at the corner of the street not far away and watching. Yue Renchun reminded him: "That group of people are from the Rose Security Company."
"What a coincidence, enemies meet on a narrow road." Hu Jiu immediately picked up his mobile phone and started recording. Putting aside the facts, the scene in front of him really looked like a ghost rider attacking the police and innocent citizens.
Just shoot some of the clips, without editing, it is an excellent rumor material.
Hu Jiu's evil heart is ready to move.
Oh no, it's a report.
Seeing the ghost rider doing evil, he wanted to legally exercise the citizen's right to report!
In an instant, Hu Jiu had written the script.
"What are you thinking about?" Yue Renchun shuddered. Just now, Hu Jiu's expression was particularly creepy.
"Nothing, the conflict over there is about to end."
The police arrested the criminals, and enthusiastic people lent a hand to assist the police in maintaining social order. Justice finally defeated evil.
The Rose Squad was taken to the police car.
It is worth mentioning that some team members, including the man with glasses, remained sober. They just compromised temporarily when they saw that the situation was not good.
The farce ended.
The crowd was finally able to disperse.
Hu Jiu stopped a night taxi and wandered around Yuezhao City.
The driver smiled throughout the journey, and the arc of his mouth seemed to have been measured with a vernier caliper, standard and unchanged, which inexplicably gave people an illusion similar to the uncanny valley effect.
Hu Jiu did not accurately state where he was going, but coincidentally, the direction of the taxi was the same as the direction that attracted the ghost book's restlessness!
This is not a coincidence!
The ghost puzzles are attracting each other.
Yue Renchun yawned, seeming a little sleepy, closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he suddenly found that the light of the street lamp was dimming rapidly and soon disappeared.
The surroundings fell into darkness, but the driver continued to move along the road with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, Yue Renchun saw that there were several people standing on the roadside in front.
They were all dressed in neat formal clothes, holding briefcases in their hands, standing like ghosts, not looking like they were going to hitchhike.
Under Yue Renchun's gaze, these people began to walk, cross the road, and turn their eyes to the taxi.
"What's wrong?" Hu Jiu also looked over.
"Not sure..." Yue Renchun saw those people walk to the other side of the road, but their eyes were always fixed on the taxi they were riding in. Even if their necks were twisted at an exaggerated angle, they still refused to give up.
An inexplicable chill surged into his heart, and before Yue Renchun could explore more, a dazzling light suddenly lit up around him.
After losing his vision for a moment, Hu Jiu was the first to regain his sight. The darkness had been dispelled and the streets were brightly lit.
The car stopped.
"Where is this?" Yue Renchun looked out the window.
The driver only said: "We have arrived at the destination. Please get off the bus in time."
Hu Jiu opened the car door and looked at the tall building not far away. "Yuezhao City Government Office Building."
They didn't tell him where they were going, but the driver sent them here. It was obvious that there must be something fishy going on. But Hu Jiu couldn't wait to get off the car and walked towards the office building.
Yue Renchun raised his eyebrows and swallowed his words back. He thought Hu Jiu would always be calm and composed, but he didn't expect that he would lose his temper. He is now more and more interested in the source of the supernatural events in Yuezhao City.
Following Hu Jiu closely into the building, people are everywhere - wearing neat formal clothes, holding briefcases in their hands, like ordinary office workers, with wooden expressions like puppets, and a strong sense of disobedience.
"It's exactly the same as the weirdos I met on the road just now." Yue Renchun felt that he seemed to have prosopagnosia. The people here acted like they were carved out of the same mold. Although they looked different, they gave a very consistent impression.
Seeing Hu Jiu and others coming in, everyone looked at them in unison. Their bodies were moving, but their eyes were fixed on a few people without moving. Only their necks were twisting, gradually exceeding the limit of human beings, twisting into a twist, which was extremely scary.
Ding——
The sound of the old-fashioned wall clock suddenly came, and the metal was knocked out with a crisp and low sound. Everyone in the office building suddenly walked in a certain direction in unison. During this time, their eyes were still on Hu Jiu and others. Their bodies were twisted, like zombies in horror movies, but their movements were more flexible and fast.
"Go and have a look." Hu Jiu blended into the crowd lightly.
Yue Renchun thought for a while, let Ye Songlan protect him behind him, and followed.
People from all directions poured into a magnificent conference hall. It was clean and tidy inside, but there were some meaningless black lines on the white walls, which made people feel palpitations and ominous for no reason.
Everyone took their seats quietly. Hu Jiu and others sat at the edge where it was easy to escape. The last person to come in had a metal nameplate on his chest with the words "Mayor of Yuezhao City" written on it.
The mayor stood on the podium in front, looked around the people in the audience, and his eyes stayed on Hu Jiu for a moment, then picked up the book, "What we have to learn today is to be proud of serving the people and ashamed of betraying the people..."
The mayor talked about the Eight Honors and Eight Shames, his tone was flat and without ups and downs. The people in the audience seemed to be listening carefully, focused and serious, with numb expressions.
After a moment, Yue Renchun's face changed and he covered his chest, "Why do I suddenly feel like my soul is bleached? No, it should be that my soul is scraped and blanched!"
"I can't continue to listen to him beeping!" Yue Renchun made a prompt decision and rushed out of the conference hall with Ye Songlan. But when he turned around, Hu Jiu was still sitting there, like a well-behaved elementary school student.
The mayor's voice was very penetrating, and he could hear it clearly no matter how far he walked, as if he had placed a repeater in his mind.
Yue Renchun frowned. This was the erosion of consciousness by the supernatural. Fortunately, he also controlled the evil spirits of consciousness and could resist the negative effects.
After waiting outside for a long time, the mayor's speech ended.
"Dismissed." As the mayor said these two words, the people in the conference room left quietly one after another, and finally only Hu Jiu was left.
The mayor was obviously different from others. He was not a complete NPC. He noticed Hu Jiu and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Why has this city become so strange?" Hu Jiu asked straight to the point.
"It's because... God." The mayor said in a missionary tone: "The great existence of almighty has given us supreme blessings."
Yue Renchun walked in from outside and just heard this sentence. Suddenly, he had an illusion that he had walked into the wrong set. In this day and age, the mayor is also a part-time priest?
"Where is God?" Hu Jiu asked.
The mayor replied: "God is here."
"This conference hall?" Hu Jiu felt that the other party was perfunctory.
The mayor said again: "God is everywhere, here or anywhere."
"Is he mentally ill?" Yue Renchun complained on the side.
Hu Jiu lowered his head and thought, the rules are indeed everywhere in Yuezhao City, "How can I see God?"
The mayor was silent for a moment, and asked: "What do you think of this city? Are you satisfied with the changes brought about by the rules?"
Too naive, too bad, it's just a mess!
"Great, too perfect, it's simply the ideal city in my dream." Hu Jiu's face was full of longing.
The mayor smiled, with a hint of agility on his face, and the tone became a female voice, "I knew that we are the same, you will definitely agree with what I do."
Yue Renchun listened to their conversation with wide eyes, what happened?
The black lines on the wall slowly crawled, gradually forming the shape of a door, and the door slowly opened, revealing an unknown road, as if leading to another dimension.
"Come in, I want to talk to you." The woman's voice came from behind the door.
At this time, the mayor's expression had become numb and indifferent, just like those people in formal clothes just now, as if he had lost his soul.
Hu Jiu did not hesitate, raised his legs to cross the gate and walked along the steps.
Yue Renchun followed closely behind.
Bang——
His forehead hit the wall.
The "door" was just a painting. Only Hu Jiu was invited. Yue Renchun could not enter and could only watch Hu Jiu disappear into the darkness.
"Hey, can you tell me first, where did you hide the ghost perfume? If you die in there, my trip will not be in vain!" Yue Renchun shouted.
Hu Jiu pretended not to hear, and after walking for only a moment, she arrived in a dark room with no light source, but her vision was not affected.
There is a desk in the room with a diary on it. Behind the desk, a person is sitting.
It was a woman with an ordinary appearance and pale skin. She was wearing loose sportswear and her long hair was tied up. It seemed that it had not been washed for a long time. She looked very much like a student who was in the final stage of her senior year in high school.
She held a quill in her hand, writing and drawing on the diary in front of her.
"Please wait a moment, I found another loophole." Her voice was very gentle, she probably really was a student.
No wonder those rules are overly idealistic. Hu Jiu thought to himself that he had speculated before that the man behind the scenes might be an idealist, so he deliberately catered to them and showed a high degree of agreement with Yuezhao City's rules.
The ghost book in her arms stirred violently. For a long time, when Hu Jiu couldn't suppress her impulse, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped writing.
"There always seems to be loopholes in any laws and regulations that can't be filled. Although this patch is not perfect, for me, there are more important things now."
She smiled and introduced herself: "Hello, I am Qin Fangtong."
"I am Hu Jiu, may I ask where this place is?" Hu Jiu put on his most gentle and kind side.
"The space I created is just like those portable spaces attached to the protagonist in novels." Qin Fangtong said it bluntly, without showing off or being proud at all. She just talked about it in a straightforward manner, as if she had done a trivial thing that was not worth mentioning.
"You are so awesome." Hu Jiu praised.
"It's not that I'm great, it's this magic pen that's great." Qin Fangtong raised the quill in her hand, with a mixture of joy and helplessness on her face.
"I didn't know before that there were so many people with magical powers in the world. I thought I was the only lucky one who was blessed by the magic pen. Now it seems that the magic pen can only do so much. , is not enough to support my grand ideals.”
After listening to Qin Fangtong's description, Hu Jiu asked tentatively: "You don't know about the Ghost Controller?"
"I've heard of this word, but I haven't understood it in depth. Anyway, it's just irrelevant stuff." Qin Fangtong looked at Hu Jiu eagerly and crazily, and the next second, she changed the topic.
