Underworld Scumbag Transformation System

A Ming is a staff member of Qingcheng Crematorium.

The last body he cremated was his dad's.

People with other options will not come to work at Qingcheng Crematorium. Like his colleagues, A Ming's family background is not very good. His father broke a leg when he was young. Later, he encountered difficulties in finding a job and could only work as a gatekeeper in a community. , it is also an old community with very cheap housing prices and properties.

It rained heavily in Qingcheng on the day he died. He came to give A Ming an umbrella, but slipped and fell to his death when he got off the bridge.

On the day the body was cremated, A Ming raised the temperature of the incinerator to over 800 degrees as usual, and pushed his father's body into the incinerator with his colleagues.

The moment he was pushed in, he seemed to see his father's body moving.

He thought it was because he had not slept for two days and was dazzled, so he pushed the body into the incinerator with all his strength, but his colleague suddenly froze.

A Ming also froze. He saw the corpse twisting and struggling violently, and his father's leg that was not easy to use after it was broken was kicking hard.

This process only lasted a few dozen seconds. His head has been pushed into the gradually heating incinerator.

A Ming and his colleagues didn't move for a long time until other colleagues called to them.

The colleague pushed the person into the incinerator, turned to look at A Ming, and asked him: "A Ming, what happened to you just now? Are you dizzy because you didn't sleep well?"

A Ming took out the small notebook he carried with him and asked his colleague by writing: "Didn't you see it just now?"

"What did you see?" My colleague said, "I suddenly noticed that you were not exerting any force. I was stunned for a moment and thought you were uncomfortable. I waited for you for a while, but you still didn't move for a while. Is it really uncomfortable?"

Dad was not breathing when he was fished out of the river. He was cremated only on the third day after his death, and it was impossible for him to move.

A Ming really thought he was hallucinating.

Later, his colleague told him and the investigators that he actually saw the corpse struggling at the time, but it was too weird and unacceptable. He really didn't want to cause any more stimulation to his poor mute colleague. He might have been in a panic at that time. Snowflakes can crush them, so my colleagues pretended that nothing happened.

A Ming is a mute. When she found out that he was mute, his mother abandoned him and ran away with someone else. He and his father depended on each other. In order to take care of his father who had a broken leg, he no longer even went to the silent school. His father asked an old man to help him. The relationship between friends led him to enter the crematorium, and his life finally became better.

A Ming has been isolated from the children around him since he was a child, but he has a very good father who gives him all the warmth and care.

After losing his father, A Ming didn't know how to live for a while.

He would often stand on that bridge in a daze, especially on rainy days.

The second time he went to stand at the bridge, someone held an umbrella for him. It was a young man similar to A Ming. He said his name was Qiao Cheng.

Qiao Cheng and A Ming became good friends, and he would come to accompany A Ming whenever he had time.

He would comfort Ah Ming gently, make delicious food for Ah Ming, and take Ah Ming to various places to play. Whenever Ah Ming was tired or the road was difficult to walk, he would squat down and carry him home.

A Ming didn't have many friends since he was a child, but his first friend was better than he imagined. He gently accompanied him out of the gloom and grief of losing his father.

The next time I saw Qiao Cheng was on TV, there was a report on the TV about a man being captured by a monster. This monster attacks city residents late at night and sucks human blood.

Looking at the man with bloody teeth, it was difficult for A Ming to connect him with the gentle friend who carried him home at night.

After investigation, it was found that Qiao Cheng was a college student in this city with excellent academic performance. He didn't know why he suddenly became like this. What's even more strange is that when he got sick, he didn't say the names of his parents and relatives, but "A Ming" .

When the investigators found A Ming, he cried as soon as he saw the way Qiao Cheng looked at him.

The food Qiao Cheng cooked for him tasted so familiar. At first he was just surprised and felt warm, but now he suddenly understood.

When he was very young, A Ming could not speak and could only express himself with clumsy gestures. Later, he learned to write.

The first sentence written in the notebook was: "I love Dad."

The second sentence is: "I wish I had a friend."

"Qiao Cheng" cried when he saw him crying.

A Ming's father is known as Wang Laizi. He is an honest and optimistic man. He has endured many hardships in his life but has always smiled happily. There is nothing he can't let go of, except his mute son who he has cared for since childhood.

His son is thin and small and cannot speak. He could not even complain when he was bullied as a child. Even if he is now grown up and has a job, he cannot let go of him.

As he sank in the cold river water, his mind was always on his mute son.

He is dead, but not dead.

He has a healthy body and his legs are intact and strong. He can carry his son home on his back.

He always remembered the look in his son's eyes when he saw other children being carried by their father.

His son also has a friend, a friend he longs for who is gentle, smart, and can talk to him a lot.

——This is the earliest case of ghost body-changing discovered in Qingcheng.

Since then, ghosts in Qingcheng have changed their bodies frequently, making people in Qingcheng panicked.

The so-called ghost body-changing means that a person becomes a ghost after death and changes his body with a living person. The ghost changes into the body of a living person and continues to live in the body of a living person.

What will happen if the soul consciousness of a living person is exchanged into the corpse of a dead person? This interview did not go into details. The subject of the report is the first ghost body-changing case in Qingcheng.

"What are you looking at?" Gu Ziyan suddenly poked her head over.

Su Qingyu took another look at the thin A Ming in the magazine and handed the magazine to Gu Ziyan.

Gu Ziyan finished reading it quickly, "This ghost transformation must be related to the ghost man."

Su Qingyu said: "Is it possible that one of the two subjects of the ghost's body change is the ghost person?"

Ji Tanglian glanced at the magazine that Su Qingyu handed to Gu Ziyan, "Are you saying that a ghost is a ghost when it comes to a living person's body, or a ghost when a living person's soul comes to a dead person?"

Su Qingyu: "The current clues can only push it so far, and the former is more likely."

Gu Ziyan: "It makes sense. A ghost becomes a ghost when it enters the body of a living person. In this case, it has the body of a living person and does not appear abnormal on the outside, but the ghost lives inside and needs to suck human blood and other essences. Qi to maintain?"

"This can also explain why they are afraid of light. There is also the detection of the city gate. The lamp is actually a lamp that can illuminate ghosts in the human body." Ji Tanglian said.

Su Qingyu objected, "No, it's not ghosts who are afraid of light, it's normal people who are afraid of light."

Gu Ziyan glanced at him and said nothing.

Ji Tanglian thought for a while and then said: "Yes, ghosts are not necessarily afraid of light. From the memories of A Ming recorded in this magazine, we can see that when Qiao Cheng took him out to play, it was sunny for many days."

"But why are ordinary people afraid of light?"

Su Qingyu thought about the matter from beginning to end, and just when he was about to speak, the Ghost Bureau suddenly remembered the alarm.

"Alert! Alert! There is a serious car accident on Minghua Street, please take action immediately!"

"Please go to No. 43 Minghua Street immediately!"

Several of their players were in one, and when they heard the alarm, the four of them immediately put the magazines and newspapers back to their original places.

The teacher who led them happened to run over, "Are you a few left? Where are the others? Forget it, come with me!"

The four people quickly followed him out of the office, and the moon had already come out.

Su Qingyu stared at the bright red moon in the night sky for a few seconds, thinking of what the little fat man said, it would be dangerous when the moon came out.

He looked down and saw his shadow in the moonlight again, silently extending forward from his feet.

"Stop looking and get in the car quickly." Ji Tang gave him a hand.

The teacher glanced back from the driver's seat and said with a smile, "You're very brave."

Before anyone understood what he meant, the car drove out.

On the way, the teacher gave them a task. When they arrived at the scene, they had to take photos and record everyone present and leave their contact information.

Ning Feng, a college student, asked: "Teacher, isn't this a car accident? Car accidents are also under the control of our Ghost Bureau?"

The teacher turned to look at him suspiciously, "Are you stupid or..."

Su Qingyu hugged his neck and said to the teacher: "He has been stupid since he was a child. Why can't your mind turn around? A serious car accident means that someone will die, maybe more than one, or there may be ghosts who change their bodies."

The teacher nodded, withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, and concentrated on driving.

Ning Feng breathed a sigh of relief, lying on his shoulder in this position, and whispered to Su Qingyu: "Thank you, brother, for saving me. I was scared to death."

Su Qingyu: "..."

Something is wrong with you.

He looked at Ning Feng calmly, guessing the possibility of him being a scumbag.

According to his experience, he would not wear it until he fell in love with a scumbag. When he entered the first three worlds, he had already been in love with a scumbag for a period of time.

This world should be the same. If there is no love, how can he make the scumbag repent?

A scumbag who is in love, or has been in love before, will there be no reaction when meeting him?

He had suspected that it was Ji Tanglian who would secretly give him the clues, but now Ning Feng seemed to have some problems.

Of course, it's possible that none of them were. In order to hide the true information as Gu Ziyan said, the scumbag and him deliberately pretended not to know each other. It's also possible that they were collecting information in another team.

He was confused as to who the scumbag was.

This time he really hit a brick wall. Not to mention harvesting a lot of repentance points as soon as he entered the game, he doesn't even know who the scumbag is now.

527 cannot stay in his mind and communicate with him at any time.

Bo Yunyi...Su Qingyu raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Ning Feng, who was lying on Su Qingyu's shoulder, looked up and saw him giving a hair-raising smile, "..."

Ning Feng immediately sat up straight and looked straight ahead.

When they arrived, the same black curtain as the city gate had been drawn over the scene of the car accident.

The teacher drove the car to the curtain and stopped. He got out of the car first and walked towards the crooked bus.

The four players got out of the car and followed his instructions, taking photos and recording from the outermost edge.

Many people gathered at the scene of the car accident, almost everyone holding an umbrella. Holding an umbrella at night looks weird.

Some people were watching quietly, while others were making noises. When a familiar car drove up, the noise became particularly intense.

"Don't drag them away!"

"The Ghost Bureau is harming people again!"

"The Ghost Man Bureau will be punished by God for all its evil deeds!"

"Abolish the Ghost Bureau! Abolish the Ghost Bureau!"

There were more and more noisy people, and Su Qingyu noticed a pattern on their wrists, which was a crying skull.

"Young man." A gap-mouthed old woman in the crowd suddenly showed a toothless smile to Su Qingyu. She pointed at Su Qingyu's shadow, bent her eyes with invisible pupils, and said, "You must protect your own shadow."

Among a group of noisy people, she was an old man who had reached the end of his life and had age spots on his face. She smiled quietly with stiff wrinkles on her face, which made Ning Feng's hair tingle.

He looked down and saw that he had walked out of the curtain while taking the photo, and now his moonlight shadow was at the old man's feet.

The shadow under the moonlight is not as clear as the shadow under the scorching sun. The old man's shadow partially overlaps with his. The old man standing in the middle of his shadow seems to be connected with his shadow.

Ning Feng couldn't help but take a step back, and then another step, until his shadow moved away from the old man's feet, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He subconsciously touched his forehead, and he was sweating. He couldn't explain why it was so scary just now.

At this moment, he stood under the curtain and refused to go out. He looked at the messy shadows that moved with the movement of people, overlapping each other. Under the moonlight, they looked like ghosts under people's feet. He took another step back. Inexplicably wanting to hide his own shadow.

He looked at Su Qingyu and saw that he was standing calmly in front of the old man, smiling and saying thank you to her.

The old man looked at him for a while, seemed satisfied, his eyes curved into a narrower arc opposite to his lips, and he left slowly.

Ning Feng hurriedly called him, "Su Qingyu, come in quickly!" Su Qingyu watched the old man walking forward alone, his shadow was very long, completely different from the people holding umbrellas around him, and he slowly disappeared into the night.

"Su Qingyu!" Ning Feng called him again before Su Qingyu walked to him.

Ning Feng asked: "Aren't you afraid?"

Su Qingyu was confused: "What are you afraid of?"

"..." Ning Feng whispered: "Don't you think the sight of someone here is scary, like..."

He carefully scanned the faces in the dark night, "It's like there are ghosts looking at us in the crowd, and there are those shadows."

Su Qingyu looked at those people and shadows again, and for some reason he felt that there was something wrong with someone here.

His eyes turned to Gu Ziyan and Ji Tanglian beside him, and he also saw tension in their bodies.

Su Qingyu really didn't feel too scared.

I don’t know why, but he hasn’t been afraid of ghosts since he was a child. In his memory, he took ghost films for dinner when he was five or six years old.

After entering the Fengdu Underworld, I didn't feel that the underworld was scary. I even felt that living there was not bad.

When he came to this world, he was keenly aware that something was wrong, especially on the way into the city. If he were to say that he was afraid, yes, but not much.

The three of them were all very taboo, so Su Qingyu had to go take photos and ask questions alone.

He first raised the camera and took a large group photo of the person on the left. The camera stayed in his hand for a while before Su Qingyu pressed the shutter.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Ning Feng asked anxiously: "I heard that ghosts can appear in photos. Did you capture something?"

Su Qingyu took a step back, pulled out the photo and showed it to them.

When he was taking pictures just now, he clearly felt something was wrong with a woman with long hair. He couldn't tell what was wrong.

The woman in the photo is normal. The light is dim at night, so the photos taken are not that clear. The facial features on each face are blurred, but it can be seen that her facial features are normal.

Su Qingyu raised her head and looked at the woman again. There was no one there, she was gone.

Ning Feng, who had been looking at him nervously, noticed something unusual, "No, that's not right! There is an extra woman in the photo! This!"

Su Qingyu: "..."

Is it better to just let him think that there is an extra woman in the photo out of thin air, or is it better to tell him that the woman in the photo is not extra, she was originally standing there and just disappeared suddenly?

The noise suddenly became louder again, and the four of them looked up and saw two very large cars coming in front of them.

When one of the cars opened, they saw the familiar spotlight at the city gate inspection area. The people from the Ghost Man Bureau guided people around to get on the car for inspection, which caused dissatisfaction again.

When they entered the city gate, everyone lined up obediently and waited for testing. After entering the city, they realized that the people testing at the city gate were all members of the Ghost Bureau. They thought that the Ghost Bureau had absolute authority. Only now did they know that, Not in Qingcheng.

People in Qingcheng may only support their strict testing of outsiders, and only those who pass the testing can enter their city, but within the city, many people do not support the work of the Ghost Bureau.

Soon, they found out one of the reasons why Qingcheng people had objections to the Ghost Bureau.

Another large vehicle, to their surprise, contained a mobile incinerator.

Special personnel from the Ghost Bureau checked the people lying on the ground one by one. After both people confirmed that the people on the ground had no vital signs, one of them shouted: "Confirm death, incinerate."

When the corpse was pushed directly into the incinerator, there was particularly fierce opposition.

Ji Tang asked: "What are they?"

Gu Ziyan said: "Prevent ghosts from changing bodies."

Ji Tanglian was stunned. Ghost body swapping is when a ghost and a living person exchange bodies after death. Although they don't know the specific process, they know that one of the results is that the soul of the living person will be replaced with the dead person.

Burning the body of a recently deceased person immediately can indeed prevent some ghosts from changing their bodies.

However, looking at the corpses that have not been claimed by their families and being pushed into the incinerator, it is inevitable that there is a lack of humanistic care.

Ji Tang twitched his lips. In an infinite game, he was talking about humanistic care.

Just when Ji Tanglian was comforting himself, he suddenly heard Su Qingyu ask flatly, "What if the ghost has changed its body at this time?"

The three of them immediately thought of the scene recorded in the magazine when A Ming burned his father's body, and couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

They couldn't think about this issue in detail, and they now understood why so many people were fiercely opposed to the action of the Ghost Man Bureau.

More and more people from the Ghost Bureau came to seal the opposition and troublemakers outside, and the corpses were thrown into the incinerator one after another.

At first there were increasingly angry sounds and cries, but slowly the surrounding area became quiet. Everyone watched helplessly as the corpses were thrown into the incinerator. There were only faint sobbing sounds coming from the bus. That might be which corpse was traveling with them. Family or loved ones.

Several players also came with the people from the Ghost Man Bureau and naturally came to them to exchange news.

A man in a suit asked, "Do you know what a ghost is?"

Gu Ziyan didn't answer and asked, "Do you know?"

The man in the suit said, "We got it."

Gu Ziyan nodded, "We also know, Su Qingyu, please tell them."

Su Qingyu: "..."

Only then did the man in a suit look at Su Qingyu, squinting at him as if he didn't believe he knew.

The person next to him said: "Don't believe it, boss. They are trying to get information from us. How could this pretty boy know about it?"

Su Qingyu: "..."

Thank you for the compliment.

The man in the suit smiled, "How could Gu Ziyan be such a person, right?"

Obviously, information sharing is not information gifting. It should be carried out on the basis of mutual gain.

Su Qingyu: "Ghosts are the product of ghosts changing bodies. After death, a person becomes a ghost and exchanges his body with a living person. When a ghost takes over the body of a living person, he becomes a ghost."

Su Qingyu said one thing, and it was their turn to say it next.

Man in suit: "We know how to find ghosts. There are a group of people in Qingcheng who can check whether people in the city are ghosts."

Su Qingyu: "Ghosts should invade people's bodies through their shadows. This is a process and may not be completed immediately. We must protect our shadows."

Not only the men in suits, but also Gu Ziyan and others looked at Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu explained: "When we entered the city, we said those people were afraid of light. To put it more directly, they were afraid of shadows caused by light, and they didn't want their shadows to be revealed."

"Those who stood facing the lamp also tried their best to reduce the area of ​​their shadows. Children turned in circles to prevent their shadows from being fixed. These should be to prevent ghosts from invading their shadows and following them."

"The people who were pulled away by the black car at the city gate probably have ghosts that have invaded their shadows and followed them, but have not yet invaded their bodies. Spotlights can illuminate the ghosts in their shadows, but when ghosts invade people's bodies, After you become the owner of your body, those spotlights can no longer shine, and you need the people you mentioned to inspect it."

After hearing him say that ghosts can invade people's shadows and follow them, everyone looked at their own shadows.

The hypothesis that there is a ghost in the shadow is really scary to think about.

Ning Feng took another step back. He originally felt that the shadow in this place was inexplicably scary. He became even more frightened when he heard Su Qingyu's words. He hurriedly retreated under the curtain and felt relieved when his shadow disappeared.

This is all information that can be discovered with careful observation and some brainstorming. Su Qingyu told them without hiding anything.

He is different from players like them. These players are here to clear the level, and may also want to compete for some rewards, and they cooperate with each other but be wary of each other. And his most important task is to obtain repentance points from the scumbag and show his value. The key is to contact more players to find the scumbag.

In addition to these observations, Su Qingyu also made some speculations based on what he learned from the underworld and his own inexplicable feelings.

"I guess ghosts change bodies at different times. Some ghosts change bodies as we said. The ghost has to stay in the shadow for a while before it can take over. Some ghosts change bodies faster. For example, A Ming's father changed bodies on the third day after his death. , there should be faster ones, and you can change your body immediately after death, so the people from the Ghost Bureau will incinerate the corpse immediately."

"These should be related to the power of ghosts, and may also be related to obsessions at the time of death."

Now even the people on the other side looked at Su Qingyu in surprise.

The man in the suit's eyes fell on him faintly, "We did find out that the ghost's body changing time is not fixed."

He added, "Ghost body-changing does not only happen when death appears in Qingcheng. Qingcheng attracts ghosts. Many ghosts are looking for bodies that suit them in Qingcheng."

Several players couldn't help but look at the Qingcheng people standing around them in the dark night, the sound of crying in their ears drifting away in the night wind.

I don’t know how many ghosts are lurking among these people.

I don’t even know how many ghosts are floating in this city, looking for the right shadow.
