Chapter 115 Wei Jing's Death, Completion of the Ghost Messenger
Chapter 115 Wei Jing's Death, Completion of the Ghost Messenger
"Deputy Minister Cao, something happened in Dazhuang City."
At the headquarters, Cao Yanhua is patiently investigating various news related to the supernatural events in Ghost Lake.
However, at this moment, a staff member knocked on the door anxiously and rushed in.
"What's the matter? What made you rush in here in such a panic?"
"I'm still busy retrieving all kinds of information about Ghost Lake. Can't you talk to me later if you have anything to say?"
Cao Yanhua had a stern face, but did not let the man leave.
Although the matter at Ghost Lake was very urgent, it was obviously not a trivial matter for his men to break in at this time.
"Something happened in Dazhuang City."
The man slowed down, then said solemnly.
"The entire Dazhuang City is shrouded in a cold fog. Everything inside is frozen, and even the signals are cut off."
"Now we can't even get news from the person in charge of Dazhuang City."
"What!" Cao Yanhua exclaimed upon hearing this.
"Can the satellite retrieve images of Dazhuang City?"
"No, the whole city is covered in white, and it's impossible to see the specific situation inside." The man shook his head.
"At most, you can occasionally see some buildings in the city covered with a layer of ice debris."
"According to our preliminary estimate, this ghost is very likely a Grade A supernatural event."
"If it is given more time to brew, it may become even more terrifying."
Upon hearing this, Cao Yanhua's face darkened.
Ghosts that own ghost dens are at least level A supernatural events.
Although we haven't got any information about this ghost yet, as long as we see the cold fog that covers the entire city, we know without a doubt that this ghost has a den.
The birth of a ghost den is when an evil ghost affects the real environment to a certain extent, and then forms a world that belongs exclusively to that ghost and can be controlled by it at will.
Based on this situation, ghosts like water, fire, wind and the like can basically be used out of the ghost den easily.
Judging from the current situation, this ghost is a fog-type evil ghost. There is no need to guess whether it can possess a ghost den.
"What is the situation outside Dazhuang City now? Can it be isolated?" Cao Yanhua asked thoughtfully.
"Is there any sign that the ghost is wandering to other places now?"
"We can't isolate them for now. Although we have mobilized ghost riders from several nearby cities to provide support, our people will be attacked once they enter the cold fog."
"Even if you get close to the cold fog, it will start to spread and spread to more places." The man shook his head hurriedly.
"According to speculation, the ghost's killing pattern may be related to body temperature. Once you walk into the cold fog and your body temperature drops, you will be attacked."
"There are no signs of the ghost wandering around right now, but there is a faint trend of it heading towards Dajing City."
Upon hearing this, Cao Yanhua's face completely sank.
It is moving towards Dajing City. Although its current speed is not fast, the speed of a ghost with a ghost den cannot be judged by common sense.
It's not moving fast now, maybe it has other targets to deal with.
After the ghost has dealt with all the ghost riders in and near the ghost den who have triggered the killing pattern, it will not take long to reach Dajing City from Dazhuang City with the ghost den.
"We have to prepare in advance."
"Excluding the captain, who are the people who can still be used and who could possibly handle these things?"
Cao Yanhua closed his eyes and thought, then quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote down the names one by one in his notebook.
"Liu Qi, Wen Zhong, Zhou Deng, Lin Bei, Lin Long."
But soon, Cao Yanhua erased these names.
Liu Qi, now in his hometown, seems to have encountered some supernatural events.
Wen Zhong has also been involved in some supernatural events recently.
Zhou Deng went to deal with the Menggui Road. Lin Bei had some problems recently and was trying to balance his own issues.
Although Lin Long is free now, he is not in a good condition after just experiencing a supernatural event. If he uses it again, the evil spirit may be revived.
Cao Yanhua eliminated the names on the notebook one by one, and finally found that there was no one who was capable and likely to handle this supernatural incident.
The recent supernatural events are like a volcanic eruption. All kinds of horrific supernatural events have emerged all at once, leaving the headquarters seriously understaffed.
"Are we going to use Wei Jing?"
Cao Yanhua fell into deep thought.
After hesitating for a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind and spoke slowly.
"First transfer Lin Long to Dajing City, and then let Wei Jing go to Dachuan City."
"Finally, notify Lu Zhiwen and have him come to Dajing City secretly to avoid the last time the headquarters was stolen by evil spirits."
I have to say that Cao Yanhua is worthy of being the top leader of the headquarters.
Faced with this dilemma, he quickly made the best choice.
Lin Long’s current strength is very good. Although he has not reached the current captain level, he has already reached the captain level when the captain was established.
It's okay to rest anywhere, so it's the same to come to Dajing City to rest.
Together with Lu Zhiwen who came to Dajing City secretly, the two of them can completely ensure that the headquarters is worry-free.
Wei Jing, who was originally required to guard the headquarters, was naturally able to move around after having a replacement.
After all, with Wei Jing's special characteristics, facing such a lone evil ghost, as long as he is in contact with the source ghost, he can be easily imprisoned.
As the big machine at the headquarters started running, Wei Jing who was on patrol soon received the news.
"These are troubled times. I hope nothing bad will happen if I leave now."
When Wei Jing heard that he was asked to handle the Dazhuang City incident, he had no intention of refusing.
But before leaving, he looked back at the underground warehouse used to imprison evil spirits.
The loss of the starving ghost had a huge impact on the headquarters.
Not to mention, the newspaper ghost was also lost. After the newspaper ghost was lost, the Ghost Newspaper Agency suddenly went out of control and began to frequently report various supernatural events.
A newspaper ghost, a ghost newspaper, and so many people at the headquarters, it would be hard for no one to fail to make this connection.
After receiving the news, Wei Jing rushed to Dazhuang City as quickly as possible. In order to speed up his journey, he did not even use a helicopter, but directly used the ghost cave.
Soon, he saw the white city.
"How's it going?"
Wei Jing came to a camp and asked the people inside.
"The cold fog ghost has not started to roam yet. The killing pattern is most likely related to the drop in body temperature."
"And that kind of cold air will lower a person's body temperature. In other words, that ghost kills indiscriminately."
A responsible person stepped forward and answered.
He looked at Wei Jing, whose body was black and whose eyes were cold and numb, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly.
Facing Wei Jing, he felt like he was facing a fierce ghost, and a terrifying one at that, with no ability to resist.
It seemed as if Wei Jing in front of him could take his life at any time if he wanted to.
"I understand. You guys continue patrolling outside. I'll go in and take a look."
Wei Jing confirmed the killing pattern from the ghost rider again, then walked towards Dazhuang City without looking back. He had little desire to communicate because it was difficult for these people to help him.
A thick layer of frost had already formed on the streets of the city, and just walking on them made people feel slippery.
Wei Jing looked around at everything around him. The white cold fog made the city look like many strange human-shaped ice sculptures.
It is not difficult to guess that these should be living people killed by the ghost.
After discovering Wei Jing, these ice sculptures began to move towards him.
However, Wei Jing just waved the ghost rope in his hand, and as the ghost ropes fell from the air, he tied these people's necks and hung them up, and easily got rid of these ghost slaves.
At the same time, the surrounding cold air covered Wei Jing's body, causing his body temperature, which was already lower than normal, to drop further.
This does not seem to be a supernatural erosion, but a physical phenomenon.
His body felt cold because the surroundings were too cold.
Wei Jing felt it and found that he did not feel any spiritual invasion, so he did not care about the approach of the cold fog.
It just so happens that the ghost's pattern of killing is a drop in body temperature, and his own body has already died, so the body temperature will not change.
It's just right. Let the cold fog lower its own temperature and attract the source ghosts.
As Wei Jing continued to move forward, more and more ice sculptures could be seen on the streets.
What puzzled him was that the source ghost never appeared.
"Could it be that their speculation is wrong? The evil spirits' killing pattern is not a drop in body temperature?"
Wei Jing frowned and couldn't help thinking. "It's strange, walking in this city, even I feel a little cold."
Wei Jing had died a long time ago and was just a ghost now. Logically speaking, even if his body cooled down, he shouldn't feel cold inside.
After saying this, Wei Jing seemed to realize that something was wrong.
My movements are becoming stiff, and I feel like I can't use them flexibly.
Wei Jing looked at his body. He didn't know when a layer of ice had appeared on his skin.
In the cold fog, a figure can be vaguely seen emerging, exuding a gloomy aura.
That seemed to be the source ghost, because this kind of breath could not be sensed from the ghost slaves. This was the mutual induction between evil ghosts.
"No, that's not right. The pattern of killing is not a drop in body temperature."
"But I was aware of the cold."
Wei Jing was very experienced. After noticing something was wrong with himself, he quickly overturned his previous conclusion.
"That's not right. For ordinary people, and ordinary ghost riders, a drop in body temperature can indeed be considered a killing rule."
"But for top ghost riders, a drop in body temperature is not a killing rule at all."
When the body temperature drops, body functions will naturally stop.
If an ordinary person faced this situation, he would naturally die. Even those ghost riders who controlled a ghost could not resist this kind of physical death.
However, those ghost riders or ordinary people will never see the source ghost until they die.
But for an outlier like Wei Jing, no matter how low his body temperature drops in the physical sense, it will not affect his survival.
Only by resisting the consequences of this drop in body temperature can the true killing law be triggered and the source of the evil spirit appear.
Fortunately, this kind of erosion is not an insurmountable supernatural force for Wei Jing.
He shook his body, and the layer of ice debris on his body quickly scattered to the ground.
And the evil ghost actually appeared before his eyes.
It was a person who looked like he had been frozen to death. His face was pale and there were purple and blue bruises on his body, which were the marks of frostbite.
As soon as the evil ghost saw Wei Jing, it attacked him.
However, when the ghost was less than three meters away from Wei Jing, its movements suddenly froze strangely.
If left alone, it will die. The number of evil spirits in this ghost's body did not exceed the number that Wei Jing could suppress, so when it attacked, it was directly suppressed instead.
"It's solved, but the mess left behind is still very troublesome to deal with."
Wei Jing looked at the ghost standing there motionless, and did not rush to imprison it. Instead, he looked towards the city.
As the evil spirits were suppressed, the cold fog in the city was becoming thinner, but it had not completely dissipated.
Because the city is so cold now, even without the influence of evil spirits, the city is still almost like being in ice and snow.
This is a kind of coldness that comes from the inside out, and it will not disappear even if the supernatural power fades away.
It will take at least one or two months to get the city back to normal temperature so that people can survive in it.
"Forget it, let Cao Yanhua and the others deal with these things. I don't know how long I can hold on. I just need to do more things while I'm still alive."
Taking out the golden box from his waist, Wei Jing used the ghost den to compress the ghost to the extreme and locked it in the gold.
However, just as he was about to close the box, his expression suddenly changed.
For some reason, he had a feeling of uneasiness.
It was like something horrible and incomprehensible was approaching this place.
Wei Jing hurriedly closed the golden box and wanted to leave, but it was too late.
The city shrouded in ice and snow became even paler at this moment. This paleness was not white, but a paleness brought by colorlessness.
"Red and White Devils?"
Wei Jing murmured in a low voice. He looked at the already pale city that became even paler, and his face completely sank.
This uneasiness, this supernatural influence, and this trap-like experience can only be explained by this.
Ordinary ghosts would not set such traps to lure snakes out of their holes. At most, they would rely on the help of ghost slaves to set some traps to allow ghost riders to trigger the source ghost's killing patterns.
Sure enough, the next scene confirmed Wei Jing's guess.
The ghost he feared the most and did not want to encounter the most appeared before him.
An evil ghost wearing white mourning clothes and kneeling on a coffin was being carried towards Wei Jing by four ghosts in this white world.
Wei Jing was very familiar with those four ghosts. They were the evil ghosts represented by the suppressed quotas in the ghost catcher’s body.
"escape!"
Without any hesitation, a dark, coffin-like ghost appeared on Wei Jing's body and he wanted to escape into the distance.
But can he really escape?
You know, now this city covered with ice and snow has completely lost its color.
Just as Wei Jing was fleeing towards Dajing City, before he could escape from the city, a coffin appeared in front of him.
A dark ghost cave suddenly invaded Wei Jing's ghost cave.
No, it can't even be called an invasion.
Because this dark den of ghosts and Wei Jing’s den of ghosts are of the same origin.
When encountering this den of ghosts, Wei Jing's den of ghosts didn't even resist.
Even though Wei Jing tried his best to expel this black ghost den from his own ghost den, he was unable to prevent the other party from entering.
It felt as if the other party's control over this den of ghosts was even stronger than Wei Jing, the one who released the den of ghosts.
When he saw the coffin invading the ghost den and being actually carried to his side, Wei Jing's face turned grim and he showed a desperate smile.
"The bug that caused the evil spirit to misjudge was ultimately powerless to resist the evil spirit that began to correct its own loopholes."
After saying that, the two dark dens began to merge.
Wei Jing's eyes, which originally contained wisdom, became numb and cold at this moment.
The ghost catcher is restarting himself. The ghost catcher himself is a den of ghosts, so when he restarts himself, he directly restarts the entire den of ghosts as well.
As time continued to change in the ghost den, Wei Jing soon returned to the time when he did not think of himself as Wei Jing.
“It’s finally complete.”
Zhang Hao appeared in this dark ghost den, and the completed ghost messenger regained the ability to grow.
"It's time to completely complete the ghost messenger like a puzzle."
Zhang Hao walked to the ghost coffin without a lid, and the black ghost cave disappeared with Zhang Hao's arrival.
Even if Wei Jing was added, the number of ghost messengers to be suppressed would only be restored to six.
Not to mention, under the influence of the black and white portrait and the ghost spirit position, Zhang Hao had already controlled the ghost.
The reason why Zhang Hao has not yet completed the ghost catcher as a puzzle piece is simply because there are defects in the ghost catcher.
The ghost catcher who lost the part belonging to Wei Jing, once Zhang Hao completely controls him and regards him as the completion of the puzzle, Zhang Hao will also inherit the characteristics of the ghost catcher.
The terrifying thing about the ghost catcher is his growth potential, which increases as he seizes the suppression positions from evil ghosts.
But without Wei Jing, the ghost's physical condition cannot change, and there is no possibility of becoming stronger or weaker.
Zhang Hao will become like this once he takes control.
Now that the ghost has regained his growth potential, this problem will no longer exist.
"Ma'am, let's go back to the world in the painting."
"I need a moment."
Zhang Hao took the ghost bride and left the city and returned to the mourning hall next to the Republic of China compound.
After putting the ghost coffin back into the mourning hall, Zhang Hao lay down in it without hesitation.
The darkness swallowed Zhang Hao, and his consciousness seemed to be suppressed at this moment, making Zhang Hao feel sleepy.
This is not mindless suppression by the ghost catcher, but the effect of the ghost coffin. The ghost lying in the coffin will instinctively not want to move.
As Zhang Hao lay in the ghost coffin, everything in the mourning hall was changing.
A black and white portrait of Zhang Hao appeared out of thin air on the wall of the mourning hall.
On the table in front of the ghost coffin, a spirit tablet engraved with "Zhang Hao's Spirit Tablet" appeared, and inside the spirit tablet, there was also a black-and-white portrait.
In front of the spirit tablet, there was also a cup of blood wine.
Under the coffin, there were a lot of paper coins scattered on the ground.
At the same time, white curtains suddenly fell in the mourning hall, isolating the door and windows of the mourning hall.
A straw rope hung from the beam in the mourning hall, with a white bone stick tied to it.
At the top of the bone stick, there is a skull, which looks extremely weird in this mourning hall.
