[First Commandment: There are no ghosts in this world. Destroy the evil ghost Chen Fulai]
[Reward: 2500 magic money, 2500 experience]
[World Features: Mana Disabled]
[World Features: Random Drop UP↑]
"The First Commandment", in the police force there is a special errands section used to deal with supernatural events. Li Guoqiang shot and killed a serial killer Chen Fulai while on patrol, and insisted that he saw with his own eyes the body of a girl killed by the serial killer Chen Fulai sitting up from the trunk of the car, so he was assigned to the errands section.
The first commandment of the Miscellaneous Affairs Department is that there are no ghosts in the world.
From then on, Li Guoqiang was involved in various supernatural events until he was found by Chen Fulai for revenge and was completely destroyed by him...
Tan Wenjie sat on the edge of the bed wearing only a pair of boxer briefs. He took a pack of cigarettes from the bedside table and lit one for himself.
It was the first time he had seen a world that imposed such strict restrictions on him.
This world is very troublesome, because the miscellaneous department that is supposed to solve supernatural incidents actually has no knowledge of exorcism and can only empty the magazine by American Iai style.
The clear restrictions now also tell Tan Wenjie that there are definitely no masters in this world.
As for being possessed after having your body touched, that is not a problem at all. There is no such thing as a ghost that will not possess you.
Mr. Li beside him is a professional at possession. Not only can he possess people, but he can also disguise himself. He is a professional spy, and possession does not require any so-called physical contact.
Not being afraid of the sun is nothing. Shaw Brothers’ old star Zhou Sir is also not afraid of the sun and can even move objects through the air.
Likewise, this world could be very simple. Humans don't know any magic, and ghosts are the same. If ghosts want to kill people, they can only rely on human rules and means except for a crazy suicidal attack. Moreover, after a ghost changes its body, the used body will become a waste shell without its three souls and seven spirits.
The problem is that since ghosts can exchange bodies and seamlessly integrate into other people's lives, they may have already touched the top and most upper-class people in the human race, and then used the rules to help themselves.
How many ghosts who can change their bodies freely are lurking in this world?
"New varieties are good. I like new varieties best."
Tan Wenjie stood up with a cigarette in his mouth and looked for pants to put on. He opened the closet and looked around and found many formal suits.
A new identity of role-playing, a 20-year-old advertising model, appeared in many female singers' music videos.
Unfortunately, he was too self-disciplined and rejected many unspoken offers.
"My stomach is made for eating soft food, and you don't want to eat it?"
Tan Wenjie felt that he was misunderstood. He was most afraid of gigolos, honey traps, and seduction. He was absolutely unable to extricate himself from them without blinking an eye. He did not expect that he was given the personality of a gentleman.
No experience at all.
You must take time to challenge your weaknesses.
After searching his house, he only found 5000 yuan in cash.
Chen Fulai is not easy to find. This guy is like a madman who keeps changing his bodies and killing people. In addition, the police have a habit of covering up supernatural events, which makes it difficult for an ordinary person to find Chen Fulai.
But it's not particularly difficult. It's best to take action at night, because everything he has that can help is afraid of sunlight.
Just as I was about to open the door, my cell phone rang.
Different world but equally annoying ringtone.
"panny?"
Tan Wenjie glanced at the caller and then answered the call.
"Hey~Ajie~"
Men? That sound is really hot.
Come to think of it, it was his agent.
An old sister-in-law, when she wears little rainbow socks, is more attractive to men than Tan Wenjie.
"Brother Panny, do you have a job for me?"
"Do you remember Tina who filmed the music video with you last time?"
"Oh! I remember."
I don't remember shit. He was very clean and kept himself busy with the filming, and came into contact with a lot of Tina every day.
The rules of the underworld are to use a nickname when going out. It can be a stage name, a nickname, or a pet name. For girls, it is either Tina or Anny.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart why he was always forced to use his real name.
"Tina said she wants to collaborate on another music video. She wants to invite you to have dinner tonight. I'll send you the address." Panny's tone was not one to be refused. "Ajie, you have to think about it. You can't always be clean in this industry."
"Okay."
"Think about it again...wait, what did you say? Have you figured it out?"
The scream coming from the phone made Tan Wenjie unable to help but tilt his head to avoid it. The penetrating power of his sister-in-law's scream was no less than that of a lion's roar.
After cleaning his ears, he said, "I said yes."
"Good good."
He didn't hear clearly what Panny said next. He was not that afraid of ghosts, but he was a little afraid of his sister-in-law and he already had goose bumps.
After a while, a message from an unknown contact was sent to the phone.
Tan Wenjie looked down at the message: "Hotel address? You don't eat properly."
I have some soft food tonight, so I can just eat whatever I want during the day.
Half an hour later, Guandi Temple.
Tan Wenjie walked out of it. There was no doubt that there were no gods in this world, and there was no reaction at all.
“The reason why horror movies are scary is because you are powerless to resist.”
A movie that allows for resistance is not called a horror movie, it's called an action movie.
Without the magic power, Tan Wenjie has disabled almost all of his spells. The most helpful thing for him at the moment is "Invulnerability to Swords and Guns", which consumes physical strength instead of magic power.
"Om-!!"
In front, a car rushed towards where he was standing, and passers-by around him shouted and dodged.
Judging from the car's detached bumper, exploded fog lights, and dented passenger door, the owner of this car has good driving skills.
Tan Wenjie had very good eyesight and he saw the person in the driving seat laughing loudly, his face covered in blood but looking quite arrogant.
Sirens were chasing after us.
Wanted with at least 3 stars.
He immediately turned around and dodged. Now that his mana was disabled, his imagination recovery fist was useless. If he got hurt, he would go to the hospital.
boom!
The tree standing by the road successfully stopped the car, and the car's airbag deployed, filling the driver's seat.
The police car stopped, and several policemen rushed out to control the scene, and drove passers-by such as Tan Wenjie to the side.
"how is the situation?"
"I gonna go see."
A young policeman walked over, and suddenly an arm covered in blood was raised and grabbed the young policeman's wrist.
The young policeman paused, then turned and left, leaving the crowd confused.
The old policeman yelled, “Where are you going?!”
But the young policeman raised his hand and grabbed a Mediterranean man who was watching nearby, and then he fell to the ground with a thud.
"It's so obvious, it's hard not to see you."
Tan Wenjie's eyes were fixed on the Mediterranean man. Ordinary people couldn't see him, but he had the Yin-Yang Eyes and could see the faint fluctuations when the other person switched bodies.
A cloud of mist pulled away and then entered another body.
He first walked to the fallen policeman, and the people around him unconsciously formed a circle, keeping a distance of about half a meter, and no one dared to approach without permission.
His breathing and heartbeat were steady, but his eyes were unfocused.
Tan Wenjie quickened his pace and caught up with the fleeing Mediterranean man.
Before, he was still thinking about how to catch a new species of ghost, but now he has encountered one, and the ghost is a fellow Grand Theft Auto enthusiast. Tan Wenjie felt that they must have a lot of common topics and they could chat for a long time.
Next, you have to face the ghosts and go shopping in the mall first.
A pack of chocolates and a roll of plastic wrap appeared in his hand.
Produced by the system, the concept of mentally ill Leon was set up personally, ghost-fighting chocolate, ghost-catching plastic wrap, this is where Tan Wenjie's confidence lies.
As for whether it is useful or not, you will know after trying it.
If he fails, he also has many ways to kill the opponent before he touches him. Although he has no magic power, his fighting ability is far beyond that of ordinary humans.
The Mediterranean man shuttled through the crowd without any thought of changing his body. He walked further and further away until he entered a Shandong restaurant.
When I entered the store, it was very quiet, with no customers at all.
There was no one on the whole street.
There was a clock on the wall, and the time was two o'clock in the afternoon.
Tan Wenjie glanced at the Mediterranean man who found a table and sat down, making sure that he could hear what the other person said, and then found a secluded spot and sat down.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" the waiter came over.
Tan Wenjie glanced at the other person with an awkward expression.
“Shandong cuisine?”
“Authentic Shandong cuisine.”
"Fry a chicken."
Tan Wenjie ordered a few dishes at random, his attention completely focused on the Mediterranean man. It was obvious that this was not his first time here, and he seemed to be waiting for someone.
He couldn't take action directly because he was not sure to what extent the ghosts had control over this world, and it would be best not to alert the Miscellaneous Affairs Department for now.
The safest thing to do is to completely bypass the Miscellaneous Affairs Division's operations. In case there is a trick lurking among the police, his active approach would be an exposure.
Why do we suspect the police first? Of course it’s because the police have guns. Other enemies are easy to deal with, but guns are very troublesome.
At least you should know enough information before planning to contact the General Affairs Department.
After a while, the food was served.
A chef came out from the kitchen and sat in front of the Mediterranean man.
"how do you feel?"
"It feels great, haha. Of course it feels great! If next time..."
It is known that the Mediterranean is possessed, so why do the chefs in the kitchen know each other?
Tan Wenjie pricked up his ears and continued to listen. The dish was well cooked, with a strong flavor.
He looked around and saw that no one came to eat at this time, so he wondered if business was slow.
"Only this time!" The chef slammed the table and lowered his voice, "You made too much noise, they will definitely target you!"
Mediterranean asked, "How many people are there like us?"
The chef suddenly stopped talking and lit a cigarette for himself.
Silence fell on both sides.
"Snapped!"
The silence was shattered by a loud bang on the table.
Mediterranean, the chef and the waiter all looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was the customer who had just ordered the food.
The waiter frowned: "Guest, what's wrong?"
Tan Wenjie pointed at the chicken skeleton on the table and said, "Boss, what kind of chicken is this? A long-necked chicken? I tasted more than a dozen chicken necks!"
There were chicken bones on the table, and sure enough, they were all chicken necks.
"I'll suck your mother..."
Haideng slammed the table and stood up, but Tan Wenjie had already rushed over and kicked the table, knocking it over.
The chef at the side smiled apologetically: "Sorry, sir, if you are not happy with the meal, we will waive the bill."
"Free? No thanks, just eat a piece of chocolate and I'll forgive you."
"what?"
Whoosh, the chocolate beans were flicked into the chef's mouth by Tan Wenjie.
Boom-!
The chef fell to the ground.
His breathing and heartbeat were normal, but his eyes were unfocused.
Tan Wenjie's Yin-Yang eyes could also see a ball of ghost mist flying out from the chef, trying to pounce on Tan Wenjie, but the ghost mist became thinner and thinner before getting close to him.
Stab it--!
Tan Wenjie pulled out plastic wrap to wrap the ghost fog and quickly rolled it into a small ball.
"Ah! You dare to hit my uncle!" The waiter rushed over yelling, but was knocked over by Tan Wenjie holding a folding stool.
"Your uncle? He died a long time ago."
Tan Wenjie turned his head to look at the Mediterranean who was holding his chest and struggling to get up with blood spitting out of his mouth.
The kick to the table just now seemed random, but the person who kicked it was very powerful. If he hadn't held back, it would have been easy to kill the person with the round table.
"A piece of chocolate?"
He took out the chocolate beans and looked at the Mediterranean Sea with a smile.
Mediterranean swallowed his saliva and did not move. It might be that he was injured and couldn't move because of the severe pain.
"Come over and talk." Tan Wenjie returned to his table, put the chocolate on the table, and then turned to look at the fallen waiter. "Don't you feel that there is something wrong with your uncle, or do you think your uncle will be turned into a vegetable by a piece of chocolate?"
The waiter opened his mouth to speak, but finally nodded: "I noticed something was wrong with him a few months ago."
It is obvious that it is impossible to hide the fact that a person suddenly becomes another person from those around him.
"Go and close the door. We are closed today." Tan Wenjie looked towards the Mediterranean Sea. "We need a lot of time. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
Mediterranean came closer, holding his chest. He wanted to resist several times, but chose to obey out of fear.
He had seen many ghosts and many so-called "masters", but had never been caught. Only the man in front of him caught a ghost with a chocolate bean and a roll of plastic wrap.
It was absurd, but he was terrified.
Tan Wenjie casually tossed a small ball of plastic wrap in his hand and nodded to the waiter: "You go first."
"A few months ago, our restaurant was doing very well. But that day, my uncle suddenly started to like to add a lot of seasonings when cooking. More and more old customers stopped coming, and business became increasingly quiet. His personality also changed a lot. Although he used to drink and scold me, I could feel that he was very good to me. Now he is very gentle to me and has suddenly become a good person. I always feel like he seems to have taken a fancy to something."
"He's attracted to your body, your young body."
Develop a young and handsome body for yourself, and through "death" and "inheritance", naturally rationalize your identity, and then successfully take root here. Even if someone is chasing you, you don't have to worry about being discovered.
So since I’m already an “invincible” ghost, what is the other party afraid of?
Tan Wenjie grabbed the small ball of plastic wrap and wanted to interrogate the genius caught inside, but the prerequisite was that the other party would cooperate.
There is definitely not much truth in the mouth of an old ghost who is shrewd and good at planning.
But it’s different for reckless ghosts.
Round table, three people sitting in three directions, at equal distances.
Tan Wenjie looked at the trembling Mediterranean and said, "It's your turn."
Mediterranean said: "I, I became a ghost more than a month ago. I was forced to jump off a building by loan sharks, but I didn't expect that after I died I could enter other people's bodies at will, and then I went to seek revenge. Today, I was a little excited about killing and was caught by the police."
"No, no, no, you were not caught by the police, you just wanted to seek excitement." Tan Wenjie denied the other party's statement. He remembered very clearly that the other party was laughing very happily at that time.
They cannot die, can change their bodies at will, and have no natural enemies. Then all the laws and rules in the world will not be able to restrain them. To put it in a simple way, this is a GTA game for ghosts, and they can do whatever they want.
After death there is resurrection, and you can always have fun.
"How long did it take you to become a ghost after you died?" Tan Wenjie asked, "How many ghosts do you know? How do you contact them? How do ghosts distinguish each other's identities? Can all ghosts enter the human body? What does it feel like when you enter a human body?"
Tan Wenjie tore off the plastic wrap and slowly wrapped his right hand around it. It was a little difficult to make a fist, so he used his palm.
He waved it twice casually and seemed satisfied.
Mediterranean shrank his neck. He also discovered that plastic wrap seemed to be able to catch ghosts, which means that if you wrap yourself in this thing, you will not be possessed. If he didn't answer the questions honestly, would he be slapped in the face the next moment?
"It takes about a few days after death for a person to become a ghost and develop his or her own consciousness."
"I also know a father and daughter, but they are actually a couple, and their recent identities are father and daughter."
Tan Wenjie said, "You are playing with it in a rather fancy way."
Mediterranean continued, "To make contact, we have to go to a fixed location and say a codeword."
"There is no way to directly distinguish between ghosts, but it is difficult for another ghost to enter a body that has already been possessed by a ghost, so we identify their identities by touching the body."
"Not all ghosts can enter human bodies. Apart from ghosts like us, the most common ones in this world are earthbound spirits with obsessions. They cannot move freely, their brains are not normal, and they can only repeat some actions in their previous lives."
"I feel great after entering a human body, like I've been full."
Tan Wenjie threw a chocolate bean into his mouth.
The weather is a bit hot and the chocolate beans in my hand are showing signs of melting.
It turns out that hot weather is not suitable for catching ghosts.
"Why don't you turn on the air conditioner? Just use the fan? No wonder you have no business."
The other party has finished speaking, but he doesn't need to believe everything he says. If he has the ability to get serious answers to his questions, he might as well change his career and become a detective.
After careful observation, he found that the Yin-Yang eyes could still reveal some clues related to ghosts.
"So this is ah."
He cannot just believe what one person says, he has to ask a few more.
The waiter asked worriedly: "My uncle..."
Tan Wenjie said: "The three souls and seven spirits must have been eaten, leaving only a waste shell. If you want to live a good life, I suggest sending him directly to a nursing home for care."
There is no need for revenge anymore, because the ghost is now in Tan Wenjie's hands.
The best option to survive is to get out of this matter, that is, never contact the Miscellaneous Affairs Department, otherwise you will be exposed to the eyes of some ghosts.
"I, that's all I know, boss." Hai Di looked at Tan Wenjie.
Tan Wenjie smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I still need you to lead the way to catch other ghosts. As long as you cooperate, there will be great benefits."
The Mediterranean breathed a sigh of relief.
Tan Wenjie pointed at the food and said, "Eat the food, come and eat the food."
"it is good."
Mediterranean picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken. He was so scared that his hands were shaking. He couldn't put the chicken into his mouth with the chopsticks. He rubbed the chopsticks against the edge of his mouth several times, leaving his mouth covered with blood.
Finally, the meat was put into my mouth.
"Hey, you really eat!"
He threw a chocolate bean and hit the waiter next to him right between the eyebrows, and the waiter fell to the ground with a thud.
Heartbeat is normal, breathing is normal, eyes are unfocused.
The three souls and seven spirits are gone.
The ghost mist emerged from his body and was quickly wrapped by him with plastic wrap.
Mediterranean: "..."
Eat by yourself, why the waiter was addressed.
Tan Wenjie looked at the horrified Mediterranean and pointed at the two small balls of plastic wrap in his hand: "The couple you just mentioned are these two, right?"
"I, I, I..." Mediterranean shook his head.
"no?"
Tan Wenjie was puzzled and spat: "Like an old sister-in-law, I thought he and the chef were a couple."
He noticed that the waiter was abnormal, he accepted it too quickly and his heartbeat was very steady. Only when the chef was knocked down by him with chocolate beans did there seem to be some changes.
The anger at that time was definitely an emotional expression, a true feeling revealed, and then I quickly returned to calm.
Very unusual.
After such a big event, his heart rate remained stable, there must be something wrong! And his style of speaking and doing things was very feminine. Tan Wenjie was now very wary of his old sister-in-law. The waiter only revealed a little bit and he got goose bumps.
Although the slight "clue" that the other party had a relationship with ghosts was hidden very well, when Tan Wenjie began to suspect him and observed him carefully, the fox's tail could no longer be hidden.
When Hai Di opened his mouth to speak, Tan Wenjie had already thrown a chocolate bean.
"Boom"
There is one more person lying in a vegetative state on the ground.
Ghost fog rose, Tan Wenjie stepped forward quickly, a machete appeared in his hand, and he chopped it down.
Never before had an evil spirit been killed so easily, like a red-hot knife cutting into the snow, easily melting and burning the opponent without leaving a trace.
It only took a breath of time for the ghost fog to appear and dissipate.
[Experience gain +5%, lasts until the end of this secret realm]
Tan Wenjie looked at the two small balls of plastic wrap in his hand, his eyes shining, as if he had seen an attractive prey.
