The Psychic Resurrection: Riding the Mirage
Chapter 60 Hu, who harbors evil intentions
On the road leading to Xihe City, a speeding car was driving steadily.
With Hu Jiu willing to take action, the safety factor soared instantly.
According to his observation, the strange grass outside seemed to be particularly sensitive to the spirit breath, and would attack ghosts or ghost riders first.
Just now, he tested it, summoned a white silk, and opened the ghost domain. As a result, the grass rushed to the more terrifying ghost domain of the mirage ghost at the first time, and then rushed to the white silk after the ghost domain was closed. Finally, it was the turn of He Ming, an ordinary person, but it was slow and not very intense.
Perhaps the spirit bus driven by Shi Chang was a huge cake for these grasses, and the second was Zhao Duohui, whose spirit power was concentrated on his feet...
He Ming shrank in the co-pilot seat. Just now, he was suddenly dragged out of the car by Hu Jiu, and then dragged back. The process was very short and he didn't understand what happened, but he felt full of malice. He held back a lot of dirty words in his heart and didn't dare to say a word.
Reality is not a TV series. There is no such thing as a rookie following the boss to get cheap things all the way. The role of a rookie in the team is to be a pathfinder cannon fodder.
Hu Jiu saved He Ming before, just to let him play his value at this time.
Shortly after entering Xihe City, Hu Jiu received a call from Xiaomei. The signal was a bit bad. The latest intelligence showed that the strength of the mysterious ghost domain was increasing. Even if the ghost riders who came to support had the ghost domain, it would be difficult to enter.
Hu Jiu was very calm. There is a saying that "you don't know the pain unless the knife is stabbed in your body." This supernatural disaster had no effect on him, so he was naturally a little leisurely.
At this moment, he was thinking about how to go next. The appearance of the ghost grass reminded him that as he went higher and higher, the levels he would come into contact with in the future, the opportunities and risks he would encounter would definitely become higher and higher, and it would no longer be the kind of small fights before.
There are many suspicious points about him. If he does everything by himself and gets involved in everything, he will probably be targeted soon. Moreover... he has not forgotten that the origin of the mirage ghost is unknown.
He has to find a way to divert the conflict.
Maybe... he can artificially create another "mirage ghost"!
While thinking about things, Hu Jiu told Xiaomei the information about the "ghost grass" in detail. Xiaomei immediately compiled it into a document and handed it to Fu Youhua.
Shen Jiliang also received the information soon, and his pupils shrank immediately, "Those grasses actually feed on the spirits of evil ghosts, no wonder..."
This is a good thing. If it can be used reasonably, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort when dealing with supernatural events in the future!
Thinking of this, he sighed again. He had already recognized these grasses. They were weeds that could be seen everywhere in the Peng family mansion in Shou Village. He didn't expect that they would become so ferocious once they left the environment of Shou Village. He had reason to suspect that every brick, tile, grass, and tree in the mansion were extremely terrifying ghosts!
Shen Jiliang immediately contacted Xu Bai, told him all the known information about the ghost grass, and asked: "How is the situation over there?"
"Yuzhou City has been completely surrounded by the ghost domain. No trace of the person in charge, Yue, has been found. The surroundings are getting darker and darker, and there are more and more strange grasses." Xu Bai looked up at the sky. The sky was dark and there was an evil breath.
"Continue to explore the detailed information of the mysterious ghost domain. Regarding those strange grasses, I have a clue about the solution, but I need to find the body of the evil ghost first." Shen Jiliang ordered. With such a large area of grass, he speculated that most of the grass was just a derivative of the spirit, and there should be only one body!
After hanging up the phone, Xu Bai walked towards the exit of Yuzhou City. He could vaguely see the road outside, but there was an invisible force preventing him from moving forward.
He chose a place where the ghost grass was sparse, and directly opened the ghost domain. The white light swept, and then quickly shrank, turning into a needle tip, stabbing forward.
The surrounding scene did not change at all, except for an extra layer of white light, there was nothing else.
Seeing this, his companion hurriedly asked: "What are you doing?"
"Investigating the information in the mysterious ghost domain." Xu Bai looked indifferent. His behavior was barely related to what he said. How could testing the strength of the mysterious ghost domain not be considered collecting information?
The companions did not speak, and each "seriously" executed Shen Jiliang's orders.
Xu Bai continued to output the supernatural on the side, and the strength of the white ghost domain continued to accumulate, but it was completely unable to break through the dark sky around it, but instead attracted the ghost grass.
Retracting the ghost domain, Xu Bai frowned, he really couldn't get out, it seemed that he had to stay inside to solve this supernatural incident.
At that moment, Xu Bai decided to go to Xihe City first, where the abnormal phenomenon first broke out, and the source ghost's body was likely there.
He also received news that ghost riders from several nearby cities had gathered in Xihe City. More people may not mean more power, but there will be more cannon fodder.
No one opposed Xu Bai's proposal, and the group set off, investigating and studying the detailed information of the ghost grass while slowly heading towards Xihe City.
Since they had already understood some of the characteristics of the ghost grass, there were no casualties among the group, but the speed was a bit too slow. If Shen Jiliang was here, he would definitely notice something wrong, but unfortunately he was not here.
On the other side, Hu Jiu had already driven into Xihe City and joined the local department. The sheriff in charge of handling special events was delighted, "You are finally here. We ordinary people are really helpless in the current situation and can't think of any solution. By the way, where is Mr. Shi Chang?"
"He died." Without giving everyone time to be stunned, Hu Jiu continued: "Currently, this ghost is in a state of insecurity. I don't have any ideas, but the headquarters already knows the situation here. Let's wait for orders from above."
Later, Hu Jiu repeatedly emphasized not to directly touch the grass outside. Although the ghost grass would give priority to attacking ghost controllers, it did not mean that it would not kill ordinary people.
In fact, most of Xihe City has almost turned into a wasteland, and the steel buildings are covered with green grass. Staying at home quietly and not walking around may improve your survival rate.
The police officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I am going to inform the citizens now that as long as they stay at home, they are almost safe, right? But if something like this happens, do you want to reveal the existence of ghosts?"
"If we don't disclose it, there's no way to explain the abnormal phenomenon, and the public probably won't realize the seriousness of the problem. But once it's revealed, too many people will know about it, and they won't be able to hide it in the future, and it will definitely cause turmoil in the social order!"
Hu Jiu looked at the police officer and sneered: "I can't make the final decision on Xihe City's affairs. You can contact the headquarters directly and listen to the instructions from above."
The situation now is very urgent and affects the life and death of a large number of people. At this critical moment, there is no need to hide the truth. The public should know the seriousness of the problem.
However, what if someone is held accountable for this temporary decision? Concealing the existence of supernatural beings is a national policy. Revealing evil spirits to the public will have adverse effects on the future. Who will be held responsible?
The local police from the special department kicked the ball to Hu Jiu, and Hu Jiu kicked it to the headquarters. The headquarters reported it layer by layer. Unfortunately, Fu Youhua is very busy now and may not handle it personally. He thought that this kind of "little matter" would be ignored by the following. People should be able to make their own decisions.
——This is no small matter. It involves human lives in four cities and the country’s main policy towards supernatural beings. Who dares to step on the line?
If you are not careful, your career will be affected~
"Shi Chang has died heroically. It's not for me to get involved in Xihe City's affairs. You can just decide what to do. I'll go for a walk outside to look for traces of the Source Ghost and save the lone people by the way." Hu Jiu explained simply. After a few words, he turned around and left.
"I'll go with you!" He Ming followed Hu Jiu without hesitation. Zhao Ruying did not follow, but asked the police about the location of the safe house.
"Mr. Shi did build a safe house. After the supernatural incident broke out, his wife and children moved in. City leaders and several entrepreneurs who usually have close contacts with Mr. Shi also moved in. Now I'm afraid there is no spare space. "
After hearing what the police officer said, Zhao Ruying quickly said that she was also a ghost controller.
The police officer was surprised. He thought Zhao Ruying was an ordinary person who was saved by Hu Jiu on the way. Her image was so deceptive!
Since he was a ghost controller, his treatment was naturally different. The police officer immediately contacted the person who spoke in the safe house.
He Ming, who followed Hu Jiu out, vaguely heard the words "safe house" and gritted his teeth without slowing down at all. He was just a student. If there was really any "safe house", it would definitely not be his turn to kneel down and smash his head.
For him, it was safer to be with Hu Jiu.
Hu Jiu said he was out looking for the source of the ghost, but he only pretended to gather a lot of grass and stored it in a gold container. It was even more impossible to save people. He walked on remote paths and met no one at all.
He Ming held it in for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back: "Brother, what are the 'ghosts' you just talked about? Do you all have super powers? Are you a cultivator?"
"You are quite curious." Hu Jiu said calmly.
He Ming lowered his eyes: "Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will become curious. If I am unlucky, I don't want to be a fool before I die."
Hu Jiu glanced at him: "I'm afraid it's more than that. Do you also want to obtain such otherworldly power?"
He Ming touched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment and admitted happily: "I am indeed envious." When boys watch martial arts movies or read cultivation novels, who hasn't had wild fantasies?
Hu Jiu raised his eyebrows: "The truth is terrible, are you sure you want to know?"
Seeing that Hu Jiu was kind and easy to communicate with, He Ming gradually became bolder and nodded firmly.
——He is indeed brave. He has just experienced such a thrilling journey, and now he still has the energy to think about some random things. Not only is he brave, but he is also in good physical condition. He is not at all like a sub-healthy high school student who has been devastated by heavy studies.
Hu Jiu used a story-telling tone to popularize some supernatural knowledge to He Ming. He spoke poorly, like reading from a textbook without emotion, but he was full of useful information. He Ming was stunned for a moment.
"It turns out that becoming a ghost controller has to pay such a high price?" He Ming's eyes were blank, and his beautiful fantasy was ruthlessly torn apart. There was no immortality, no magic, no spiritual energy recovery, only terrible ghosts.
"What I just said is state confidential information. Don't tell others nonsense, otherwise you will be held accountable." Hu Jiu warned.
He Ming's eyes flickered: "National confidential information? You just told me without reservation?"
"I just talked about some basic common sense casually. Besides, I think you are a nice person, so I am willing to reveal some confidential information. The world is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface. Just like this city, no one knows what the accident will be like tomorrow." Which one will come first?" Hu Jiu raised his lips.
He Ming smiled sheepishly, lowered his head in deep thought, and was completely unaware of Hu Jiu's vague pua.
‘Ghost riders have short lives, but they are really powerful. What if I am the lucky one who can avoid the side effects of ghost riding? ’——It is a dangerous and tempting thing. Many people think that they are the chosen ones, the sons of destiny, and the protagonists before trying it. They can only get benefits without paying the price. This is normal.
He Ming had such thoughts in his mind, and happened to meet Hu Jiu who had bad intentions. I really don’t know whether he is lucky or unlucky today.
As expected, He Ming asked about how to control evil ghosts.
Hu Jiu said: "Find a ghost and try it with your own life. If you win, you will be a ghost rider, and if you die, you will be a corpse."
"Isn't this completely random?" He Ming frowned, as if he had eaten bitter melon raw, "Isn't there a safer way?"
"Maybe, but I don't know. There should be other evil ghosts in this city, but I don't recommend you to try. It's too dangerous. It's actually good to be an ordinary person." Hu Jiu casually took out a pen and paper from his arms, as if he was carefully recording data.
He Ming stopped talking, as if he was thinking about what he should choose, just like a child making a difficult choice between Tsinghua and Peking University, not realizing that he had no choice at all.
The two wandered around for a long time. It must be said that it was really safe with Hu Jiu. If you ignore the dark sky and trembling legs, He Ming felt like he was on a picnic in the bushes.
The sound of a loudspeaker came faintly in the distance. Ordinary communication equipment failed. The police used a relatively simple broadcasting method to remind citizens not to go out casually. Xihe City was haunted.
"Ghost? Are you kidding me?"
"No wonder, the city is blocked and the signal is gone."
"Impossible? Ghosts in movies kill two or three people at most. What ghost dares to make such a big noise?"
"Every grievance has its perpetrator. Even if there is a ghost, the ghost can go and seek revenge on the enemy. Why involve innocent people? Isn't it afraid of retribution from heaven?"
The citizens who heard the broadcast had all kinds of expressions. No matter what, the abnormal phenomenon does exist. Some people believe in ghosts; some think that it is a biochemical laboratory leak, looking for excuses to cover up the truth; some think that it is a criminal impersonating the official to make a spoof; even worse, they think that the end of the world has come, and they have started zero-dollar shopping, claiming to surrender to evil spirits, and dragging everyone to death together...
