Saint?Just a bad woman

The servants dispersed in a hurry, shouting "there is a ghost", and hid in a safe corner to observe.

The female ghosts of the Ming Dynasty dressed in modern style faced the female ghosts of the Republic of China. Neither one was willing to be outdone, and the ultimate goal was to take the other's life.

Devouring ghosts of the same level is of great benefit to the recovery and enhancement of abilities.

The oil painting ghost's weapon is a sickle used for chopping wood.

The swords of both sides met, and the sharp force splashed sparks during the friction.As soon as he entered the painting, Ye Shiyu launched a fierce attack, leaving no room for the oil painter to breathe.

Every time he takes a step forward, he swings the scissors down with the momentum of leaning forward.

The seemingly cumbersome and inconvenient weapon danced smoothly in her hands.The ghost possesses a much higher fighting power than ordinary people. Even if it can use a gas tank as a weapon, Santa Karina will not be surprised.

Ye Shiyu's skills are not limited to carrying gas tanks. She hit the Western-style clock tower built in the garden with the scissors in her hand, and the stone bricks began to fall apart from the foundation.

The gray bricks exploded and fell into the lake, making a "plop-plop" sound.

The calm lake surface swayed from the center of the lake, with mud, water plants and green vines poking out from the black bottom.Dozens of turbid-colored tentacles rushed towards Ye Shiyu.

There are so many tentacles that they cover the sky and the moon.Thinking of the scene of the dead man with glasses being stabbed through his torso, Santa Karina's scalp felt numb and her two hands clenched together uneasily.

The fingertips of his left hand pinched the red line, as if this was the only way to feel better.

The number of lives lost in the hands of the oil painting ghost was at least a dozen, and together with the nine people here, it was enough for her to severely increase her strength.Ye Shiyu has never harmed anyone since he woke up. Whether he can beat the oil painting ghost is also a question.

Xiao Yang had exactly the same worries as her.

"Um...Santa Carlina, are your ghosts sure to take us away? I'm so scared now. If I can leave this ghost place, I will never work in the library again..."

"I'm not sure either. I just met Ye Shiyu yesterday and I bumped into a ghost today. No one else is lucky. The two ghosts are at the same level. It all depends on personal ability."

The world outside the picture has no influence on the inside of the picture, and the battle inside the picture gradually becomes fierce.

The blades of the silver scissors cut off the tentacles again and again, and no tentacles could get close to Ye Shiyu and touch her body.The area around her became the only pure land, and the gorgeous garden was ignited by the lantern knocked over by the servant and turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Everything inside and outside the painting was burning, and the chaotic and lightless interior was extremely bright under the light of the fire.

Santa Karina glanced at the wound on her finger and mused.

The black book absorbed her blood to increase activity and restore strength. Ye Shiyu should be able to do the same.This book and Ye Shiyu are essentially a type of ghost, although this is just speculation and has not been confirmed.

You will know the effect as soon as you try it, no need to worry.It's not a loss to earn blood at the expense of a weak body in exchange for a chance to survive, after all, the body can slowly recover.

He took out the key in his pocket, found the mini folding knife, popped out the blade, and cut open the skin of the palm of his left hand.A shallow red mark first appeared on the thin skin, and a burning sting spread from the red mark to the entire palm, causing a sense of soreness and tearing.

"Hopefully she can defeat that ghost."

The bleeding left hand grasped the red thread. The wound overlapped the red thread. The blood soaked the red thread. The red light became dazzling for a moment. The blood flowed along the red thread and entered the oil painting.

The red line became a conduit for blood transportation, and the itching and numbing feeling gradually overshadowed the pain.

Ye Shiyu accepted the power brought by blood as a matter of course and found the dawn of reversing the decline.The oil painting ghost who has absorbed the lives of more than ten or twenty living people is slightly stronger than her in strength. The longer the battle lasts, the more power is consumed. Entering the world of oil painting will inevitably increase the loss.

The other ghost masters couldn't wait to start the reconciliation after the contract. It was rare for a woman who was not a womanizer like Santa Karina.The more difficult to reconcile the ghost controller, the more interesting it is. Sooner or later, she will have to overthrow him.

"The feeling of fresh blood is not bad, although it's not as good as holy water."

The silver scissors swim in the night like a dexterous hairtail fish.Wherever the silver light passed, the tentacles carrying the aura of decay and decay turned into countless fragments, falling like snowflakes.

The frame was burned to ashes by the blue flames, and the canvas began to burn.The oil painting ghost's power was weakened and it was completely unable to maintain its normal human form. Sticky paint leaked from the peeling skin, and colorful colors exploded from the cracked skin.

That's real oil paint.

Red paint flowed from the corners of his eyes, like a line of blood tears.The world of oil painting is in collapse. People from outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out.

"You are just... more lucky than me. If I can also meet a ghost master who is willing to donate his blood to me, there is absolutely no way you..."

"Sometimes luck is really important. But it doesn't matter. You will become part of my power in the future and witness this wonderful era together."

The two blades of the scissors merged into one and pierced the painting ghost's back.What flowed out of the torn gap was not disgusting flesh and blood, but still sticky paint.

The gardens and lakes, the servants running around, the rockeries and the moon in the distance also melted.Everything is created from paint and ultimately returns to the original.

Ye Shiyu picked up something from the pile of mixed colors and grabbed the red thread around his neck.Before the false world completely collapsed, she successfully returned to reality with the help of the red thread.

Although his body was stained with paint, and his clothes had a few small cuts during the battle, the fact of victory cannot be overturned.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.

Only the last corner of the haunted painting was burned, which happened to be the small area where the desperate woman stood on the boat and looked back.

Santa Karina picked up the torn canvas and burned it completely to ashes with a lighter.

The dawn breaks through the darkness, the sky becomes brighter outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the long night comes to an end.

"it's over?"

Santa Karina tried to push open the door to the first floor of the library to welcome the outdoor air.

It was already the second day, and the rising sun had not yet shed its scorching heat. The temperature in Tianying City was very cool in the morning, and the soft morning breeze passed through the gaps between hair and clothes, drying the cold sweat on the back.

Several elderly people doing morning exercises wore white Tai Chi suits and stretched their waists to the soothing music. The social workers who got up early to work hurriedly crossed the road. Middle school students bought breakfast at the roadside stall and ran to the incoming bus...

The commonplace daily routine actually made her feel extremely at ease.

The faint smell of blood and burnt paint lingered in the air of the library.Most of the bookshelves and books were still placed at a distance, and some were damaged.

The oil painting wall in the atrium on the second floor was the most severely damaged, but the only painting hanging outside was burned: an impressionist oil painting called "The Runner", which was painted in 1930 by a French painter living in Kyushu.

The painting traveled to many places and was presented to Tianying Municipal Library by the daughter of a deceased collector half a month ago.Since this painting came to the library, strange things have happened one after another. Today is a qualitative leap.

Santa Carolina called the police at the Changhai District Police Station in the name of the library.The Municipal Library is within the jurisdiction of the Changhai District Police. If the police are called to the Central District Headquarters, the dispatch speed will be relatively slow.

The administrator who came to change his shift in the morning was so frightened that his legs weakened when he saw the tragic situation in front of him.

The Oil Painting Ghost was quite an artistic ghost. He strangled several people with a hemp rope half an arm thick, hung them to death, and hung them under the plaque in the library.

The other end of the hemp rope is tightly tied to the metal frame supporting the three-dimensional characters. From a distance, the picture is particularly scary.Some of the people who disappeared a while ago were hung at the door, the remaining half were stuffed into the wall, and the whereabouts of the other half were unknown.

In the hallucinations created by oil painting ghosts, plaster statues that kill people appear. In many crime-themed works, there are often plots where the murderer turns the corpse into a plaster statue, and the corpse is very likely to be built into it.

"Xiao Yang, I would also like to trouble you to take me to find the plaster statues in the museum. There are still a few corpses that have not been found."

"I do not dare to go."

The survivors sitting in the reading area on the first floor were in shock, and Xiao Yang was one of them.Everyone looked exhausted, their bodies were almost exhausted, and they had no intention of thinking about anything else. They just wanted to feel the comfort of the rest of their lives after the disaster.

The administrators who came to take over were either scared away or didn't know where the plaster statues were. The only one who could help was Xiao Yang.

She was extremely timid and shouted that she wanted to resign immediately to the director of the library. There were still a few tears in her eyes.

"Little Saint, I don't want to see dead people anymore... Please, don't force me..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't consider your mood just now. You can rest first, I'll go by myself."

Santa Karina had no choice but to give up and go to the lounge to bring a box of mineral water and distribute it one by one.Although no one has the appetite for breakfast, they still need a drink of water.

After everyone got water, she drank half the bottle next to the pillar, feeling as thirsty as a refugee who had just stepped out of the Sahara Desert.

"Today's class... forget it, just do it."

Having just come back alive from a life-threatening situation, who has the heart to take a few water lessons?

Santa Karina has not asked for leave since entering the university. She found the counselor's contact information from the class group and called her. At the same time, she posted a photo of the hanging body at the entrance of the library on QQ. The ground inside was in a mess. Attach a photo of yourself wearing colorful clothes.

There wasn't much blood on the clothes, but it was enough to show the seriousness of the situation.

The counselor's voice was frightened, and her sleepy voice suddenly became energetic.

"I understand. You have a good rest these days and finish the things at hand before coming back to class. Remember, what happened in the library should not be spread in the class or school group, so as not to cause panic."

"Thank you teacher, I won't tell anyone."

If you say so, it has already spread in the school.There are reports of supernatural events on the post bars and forums of major universities in Tianying, and some people even took photos to prove it. The school cannot cover it up despite its ability.

The appearance of ghosts is not a rumor. People in this city who are still lucky will know everything sooner or later.

Very good, you don't have to go to class today.

After explaining what happened to the police, go have a hearty breakfast, then have a good sleep, and leave tomorrow's affairs to your own mind.

Santa Karina went to the warehouse to get a roll of tape, put it around the library door, and placed a no-entry sign in front to create a temporary cordon.

Some melon-eaters stood nearby to watch and take photos, and those corpses were their topic today.Several people were hanged in front of the city's best library, which was scary to anyone who saw it.

She moved a stool and sat at the door, yawning several times.When I saw the flashing red and blue car lights, I immediately cheered up.

The police from the Changhai District Police Station rushed over as soon as possible after receiving the report, less than half an hour before the call was made.Several police cars parked in front of the library, which directly became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Which of you is the reporter?"

A young woman with short dark gray hair and light gray eyes stepped out of the car.Santa Karina saw the certificate hanging around her neck and immediately went to meet her.

"it's me."

"I am the investigator of the Tianying City Ghost Countermeasures and Defense Department. Tell me everything you know."

The investigator was not wearing a police uniform and was dressed casually. It was probably an impromptu mission.The remaining police officers were in civilian clothes and uniforms, and everyone seemed to be in a hurry.

Professional police cordons were pulled up to seal every entrance to the library.

Santa Karina followed the investigator into the lobby on the first floor and told the whole story with eight other people.The investigator's hands quickly recorded the collected clues, and then his eyes stopped on her, as sharp as an eagle.

The Ministry of Ghost Countermeasures and Defense emphasizes the recruitment of private ghost masters. Once discovered, they must be reported immediately so that they can be brought under the control of the government.

From the first moment he laid eyes on Santa Karina, the investigator knew she was different.

"Are you a ghost master?"

"I'm."

"When did this happen?"

"yesterday."

"Leave your contact information with me first. Don't leave in a hurry. I'll make a call first. After that, I have something to ask you."

"Ok."

Taking the note from the investigator, Santa Karina wrote down her phone number and returned it anxiously, wondering if a ghost controller would have to go to jail for raising ghosts?

In some places, people with super powers are not welcomed and can easily become the target of government fear and public rejection.If Tianying doesn't have a foothold, it's better to get out as soon as possible.

As big as the world is, there will always be a place for those who control ghosts.

The investigating officer took her to the lounge and locked the door.The atmosphere took a turn for the worse. Santa Karina pinched her right wrist and her heartbeat accelerated.

"You...what do you want to do?"

An orphan and a widower live in the same room, and the other party is a well-established civil servant with guns and knives on his body. He is most likely a ghost controller. It is unrealistic to win.

There is a kind of connection between the ghost master and the ghost master that cannot be explained by common sense, which is similar to how animals identify the same kind by smelling their scent.Santa Karina was certain that this woman with a clean and tidy style also held a powerful ghost in her hands.

She subconsciously took two steps back, preparing to summon Ye Shiyu to help deal with it.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Santa Kalina. I'm not trying to trouble you. Calling you away alone is the intention of the superiors. The superiors are the units I work for. The Ghost Countermeasures and Defense Department has only been established for two months. Generally, we take care of it. Call it the Defense Department, it’s convenient.”

"so?"

“The Defense Department retrieved the surveillance videos installed around the library and found that you skillfully manipulated the contracted ghosts to fight against the red-clothed ghosts that appeared in the library, and methodically led other survivors to escape.

The Ministry of Defense needs talents like you very much. After all, there are still very few ghost controllers who can contract with red-clothed ghosts. Most of them can only contract with low-level ghosts such as resentful spirits and ordinary ghosts.There is a shortage of manpower on the front line against evil spirits. Do you have the intention to become an official ghost master? "

"Is that so..."

Santa Karina was stunned for a moment, and understood that the investigator's intention was to recruit people on behalf of the official ghost control organization.

The investigator was determined to recruit her as an official and took the opportunity to launch a more violent seduction attack, much like a member of a pyramid scheme.

"Becoming an official ghost controller has many benefits, such as a stable income, enjoying national statutory holidays, which is much more comfortable than working in the factory 996 and wasting your life. It is very relaxing when there are no tasks. If you work overtime on weekends and holidays, you will get three times the overtime pay, five insurances and one Funds, housing provident funds, and state-owned enterprise benefits are all available.”

"How much is your monthly salary?"

Income is always the most important topic for poor people. If they have more money, they will consider it more. If they have less money, they will just pass and find the next one.

"The basic salary of an intern ghost controller is [-] yuan. There is an additional task subsidy for solving the incident. Food, accommodation and all other expenses are included during the mission. The official ghost controller has a basic salary of [-] yuan a month and enjoys more benefits. I can't finish the details at once. , I will send you a document later."

"Ok."

When she heard that the salary of a ghost controller could be tens of thousands a month, Santa Karina suddenly felt a little excited.

Working as a laborer in a big city only costs 2 yuan, and you have to look at the boss's face every day. Party A's father will complain about the plan at every turn, and he will stay up late to revise it, risking his life in exchange for money.

But is it really so beautiful?

High income is directly proportional to high risk. For example, if you are the first to be pushed to the front line to deal with evil spirits when encountering danger, it is still unknown whether you can get your salary alive.

If you sign a contract in a daze, you may encounter more trouble than debt collection.

"Let me make a decision after reading the documents from the Ministry of Defense. This matter came in a bit of a hurry and I need some time to think about it."
