The Psychic Resurrection: Riding the Mirage

The bright white light invaded the dark ghost realm, and a group of people from the headquarters successfully entered Yuzhou City and clearly saw the scene in the city.

The first impression this city gave them was that of dilapidation. The Ghost Swamp Incident broke out, causing countless casualties. Yue Renchun was well-known in the supernatural circle as the person who saved this city.

But... everything in front of me was a bit too desolate. There were scattered dirt on the street corners and nearby buildings. It was eerily quiet, as if there was no living person at all.

"I remember that there were many survivors in the Ghost Marsh incident, and the country invested a lot of resources in reconstruction. How could it be..." Fu Youhua looked serious.

Shen Jiliang sneered: "Deceiving the superiors and hiding the truth from the inferiors. It seems that there are a lot of inside stories here. Even the headquarters has been deceived."

Fu Youhua suppressed his anger: "We'll talk about this later. Let's find a way to solve the supernatural incident in front of us first."

It's a bit embarrassing to say this. Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that the mechanisms and laws of many unknown supernatural events are built up with the lives of the people at the bottom!

They will not intentionally harm others or force others to test them, because there is no shortage of unlucky people who accidentally trigger the rules.

But now, what is missing is people. They can't let the elites from the headquarters serve as cannon fodder. Are they just staring at it like this?

"If you ask me, the headquarters should make reasonable use of the Secret Peeper instead of shelving it. It would be a waste for such a useful ability to remain idle." Shen Jiliang sighed.

"It's not like you don't know that a voyeur can easily see some messy things, leading to mental disorder, and the secret information he tells will most likely lead things to develop in a direction that is not conducive to mankind." Fu Youhua was also helpless. , quite a kind of frustration of guarding the treasure mountain but can only look at it but not use it.

Non-governmental organizations or self-employed individuals may not care about the negative effects caused by supernatural phenomena, but the headquarters is a national institution and must be considered comprehensively, and any minor side effects cannot be ignored.

"Send it to the Scientific Research Department and let us study it." Shen Jiliang was very serious, but Fu Youhua only thought he was joking. If the Scientific Research Department only engages in scientific research, then they can study whatever they want. Unfortunately, the Scientific Research Department is not just a R\u0026D department.

"Have you heard any strange sounds?" Xu Bai suddenly said.

Everyone was startled and immediately stopped talking. The surroundings suddenly became quiet. There was a faint sound of "滻欻" in their ears, as if paper was being rubbed gently.

A few weeds sprouted quietly from the gaps in the road, adding a touch of fresh green to this dim city.

…

On the other side, Hu Jiu calmed down and stopped thinking about those lofty goals.

The mysterious ghost domain blocked four cities. After discussion, the leaders of several cities decided to gather in Xihe City, the place where the abnormal phenomenon first appeared, to investigate and deal with it from here.

Just when Hu Jiu was about to drive to his destination, a strange bus stopped near his home.

"Hu Jiu, right? I'm Shi Chang, the person in charge of Xihe City. Get in the car quickly, I'm here to pick you up." The driver shouted.

After confirming Shi Chang's identity through Xiaomei, Hu Jiu got on the bus. He could see that this bus was not ordinary.

The bus was not big, with less than twenty seats. The air in the bus was slightly dry, and a dim yellow light was dimly lit on the roof, as if it would go out at any time. The seats were dirty, the guardrails were rusty, and the windows had irregular cracks. At first glance, it looked like a scrapped car.

Hu Jiu randomly picked a seat and sat down. The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties with a stout figure. His hair had become bald and formed an obvious M shape.

In addition to the driver and Hu Jiu, there were two other people in the car.

Behind the driver's seat was a tall, strong man wearing a tight-fitting black sweatshirt. His muscular lines were clearly outlined. There was a shocking scar on his face that spread from the corner of his eye to his chin.

Sitting next to the strong man was a middle-aged woman dressed as a housewife. She kept glancing around, her hands were shrunk in her pockets, her head was lowered, and she looked extremely embarrassed.

"Everyone is here, let me say a few words first." Shi Chang said slowly while driving, "The person in charge of Yuzhou City and his team members have lost contact, so the four of us are currently responsible for handling this case. The main force of supernatural events.”

When Shi Chang opened his mouth, he sounded like a leader holding a small meeting. Although there was a lot of nonsense, the core idea was very clear - ensure one's own safety, follow realism, and under this premise, safeguard national interests and conduct careful investigations. Information about the source ghost.

This high-level discussion was unanimously recognized by several people present.

There is no moral kidnapping, and there is no overflowing Virgin Heart. The level of supernatural events in front of us is not something ordinary people can intervene in. It would be great if they can investigate some information. Regardless of public or private reasons, they should prioritize self-protection, otherwise the ghosts that resurrect after their death will only worsen the situation.

There are not so many idiots in this world, especially when it comes to self-interest. Each one is smarter than the next, Hu Jiu secretly sighed in his heart.

"This car is my supernatural item. It has good defense and mobility. You don't have to worry too much. It's much safer to stay in the car than outside. If it doesn't work, you should all build a golden house safe house, right?"

After hearing Shi Chang's words, the three of them nodded.

The strong man's name is Zhao Duohui, and the middle-aged woman next to him is named Zhao Ruying. They seem to be relatives and both live in Peishui City.

After a brief self-introduction, the car fell into silence. Hu Jiu paid attention to the environment outside the window. Although it was daytime, it was dark outside and the visibility was getting lower and lower. Only the headlights of the bus illuminated a small area of ​​the road.

Luxurious weeds were vaguely visible on the roadside. Hu Jiu's gaze focused on something that passed quickly from the front and disappeared into the grass beside the road.

With just one glance, Hu Jiu couldn't see the specific appearance of the thing. He could only vaguely distinguish it, like... a human being?

It had limbs, a body, and a head, but if it was a person, Hu Jiu felt something was wrong, because the posture of the thing was similar to that of an ape, more like a four-legged creature standing and running forcibly, and its movements were twisted and indescribably weird. .

"What was that outside the window just now?" He turned around and asked.

"What did you say?" Zhao Ruying looked a little confused and looked sideways out of the window.

"Didn't you see something that looks very human?" Hu Jiu pointed.

"No!" Zhao Ruying shrank her neck.

"Don't be nervous, maybe I saw it wrong." Hu Jiu replied.

"You read that right, I saw it too." Shi Chang said casually, without any intention of stopping.

"Could it be a ghost slave?" Zhao Duohui frowned, "In such a large ghost realm, people have probably been killed long ago. It is normal for them to turn into ghost slaves, but we haven't discovered it yet."

"Ghost slaves are a threat to ordinary people, but it is not difficult for a ghost controller to eliminate one with one punch. This kind of supernatural derivative is not much different from a cockroach."

"Oh." Hu Jiu responded perfunctorily.

A simple exchange broke the originally stagnant atmosphere. Zhao Duohui is not as fierce and cold as he appears, but is very friendly and talkative, chatting about anecdotes about the supernatural world.

"Did you read the post on the forum not long ago? It is said that the United States captured a guy who claimed to be a time traveler. He was crazy and said that a monster was devouring time. The future had been swallowed up and he could only escape back. In the past, I was living an ignoble existence..." Zhao Duohui said seriously.

Hu Jiu laughed: "It sounds like it's made up. Since the supernatural has been confirmed to be real, there are new stories on the Ghost Controller Forum every day, which are even more ridiculous than others."

"I think so." Zhao Duohui said, "If this is true, the news will definitely be concealed. How could it be spread?"

"There is no shortage of people who spread rumors in any era. The headquarters was alerted by the Water Monkey case that caused a lot of fuss six months ago. It turned out to be just a farce. It was found that someone was abducting | selling | people | under the pretext of supernatural events. Those You are really crazy, you dare to blame Li Gui." Shi Chang sighed, "The news is too outrageous, just treat it as a joke, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

Zhao Duohui suddenly became energetic: "Hey, this is the first time I heard such explosive gossip. It happened half a year ago? Could it be that you were the ghost controller at that time?"

Hu Jiu also became interested, and Shi Chang waved his hand reservedly, "The impact of the Water Monkey Case is too bad. During this special period, the headquarters has been deliberately downplaying this matter. It is normal for you not to know the inside story. I am pretty lucky. Yes, I have some acquaintances in the capital and a lot of resources, so I haven’t died suddenly after being a ghost controller for half a year. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me.”

"If I hadn't become a ghost controller by accident, I wouldn't have been to the capital." Zhao Duohui didn't have a high degree of education, and his mind wasn't very flexible. If he hadn't mastered the ghosts, his life would have been an ordinary labor force, occasionally chatting on the Internet. Show off your muscles. The Ghost Controller is quite prosperous and has achieved a class leap, but his life is really short...

Zhao Duohui could see to the naked eye that he was a little more flattering to Shi Chang.

Hu Jiu watched silently. What Shi Chang just said could not be proven true or false at all. It was more like he was deliberately bragging to increase his voice in the team. When encountering special circumstances, everyone would be wary. Let’s talk about his “identity”.

He vaguely drew a pie for those who wished to take the bait, and tried his best to get through the difficulties in front of him, and we would talk about the future later.

"It's getting darker outside, Brother Shi, can you see the road clearly?" Zhao Ruying asked suddenly.

Shi Chang looked confident: "Don't worry, I am so familiar with this road leading to Xihe City that I can reach it with my eyes closed..."

"Stop talking yet!" Hu Jiu stared outside: "Listen!"

"Help, help!" A panicked cry for help reached my ears.

The bus was still driving at a constant speed, but Shi Chang turned a deaf ear.

Bang——

There was a loud noise, and then the bus was forced to stall. Due to inertia, the four people fell forward in unison.

"What happened?" Zhao Ruying asked in horror.

"I hit something, something went wrong." Shi Chang's expression was very ugly. It must be not easy to stop this car!

"Can it be done?" Zhao Duohui asked hurriedly. It was getting darker and darker outside. It was not a good thing to stay too long in such a remote place.

"I'll try." Shi Chang tried to restart, but there was no response. The engine seemed to be completely broken.

"Is there something wrong?" Zhao Duohui glanced out the window, a shadow cast in his eyes.

"I don't know. I have to get out of the car and check." Shi Chang stood up and opened the door.

The sky was extremely dark, the front lights of the car were also very weak, the road ahead was empty, and it was impossible to find what I had just hit.

Zhao Duohui followed Shi Chang out of the car. Zhao Ruying hesitated for a few seconds. Seeing that Hu Jiu was sitting still, she stayed in the car. She pulled her shirt tighter without saying a word and moved away from the door. and car windows.

Hu Jiu was silent. It was normal for such a supernatural event to have an accident.

"Help!" The cry for help was getting closer and closer.

There was only a light source nearby. The thick darkness almost covered everything. The figures of Shi Chang and Zhao Duohui became blurred.

At the intersection of darkness and light, it seemed that something was hidden there, slightly wriggling and twisting, peeping at the bus, like a lurking poisonous snake, seizing the opportunity to get out of the gutter and bite its prey fiercely.

"Ah!!" A heart-wrenching and piercing howl suddenly sounded, and a figure rolled and crawled to the front of the bus.

"Help me!" It was a very young boy, who looked like a high school student. His face and body were stained with blood, and there was something chasing him from behind.

Bang——

Zhao Duohui directly took out his gun, and a golden bullet shot out, hitting an unknown object.

"What is that?" Hu Jiu carefully distinguished, and the next moment, a big face came over from the window in front of him.

Although the glass on the window was full of cracks, it was very solid and showed no signs of breaking. However, Hu Jiu was pressed against the monster's face and subconsciously reached out to push forward.

Crack --

The glass shattered in an instant, and a sticky and smelly liquid splashed, and a mass of something fell directly to the ground.

"What is it?" Hu Jiu took out his mobile phone and illuminated the ground.

Shi Chang and Zhao Duohui also came over immediately. Zhao Duohui didn't think much, but Shi Chang looked at the broken window with a look of surprise, and then looked away for a moment.

The boy who had just called for help suddenly rushed into the bus, hid in the corner, curled up with his head in his hands, and shivered.

Shi Chang glanced at it, but did not stop it.

There was a humanoid creature lying on the ground. To be precise, he used to be a person, but he was beaten to pieces by Hu Jiu, which was a little disgusting.

Zhao Duohui took a closer look and took a breath of cold air: "Why is there grass growing on his head?"

This sentence is not an exaggeration or ridicule, but a description of the facts.

The dead man had green hair, and weeds were growing out of his scalp, swaying gently in the wind.

"Go back to the car first and turn off the lights. I think something is wrong. I'm afraid we're in trouble!" Shi Chang rushed back to the driver's seat, and Zhao Duohui followed closely behind him and closed the car door.

The eyes of several people looked at the broken window at the same time. Hu Jiu was very calm, and a white silk appeared out of thin air to cover the gap. "It's okay, I'll sit here and help you guard it. Nothing will break in."
