Chapter 308: The Widow of the Ghost Master
All kinds of strange teachings like cats, dogs, and even sleeping have made Xu Xiaoyu and Chen Kuo fully understand what it means to be an adult. Times have changed, so it is not strange or unbelievable for people nowadays to have a train teaching.
Gu Xing: "We have mobilized a lot of resources to investigate this time, but because the enemy is in the dark, it is difficult for us to spy on the truth. We can only ask Brother to check the body as soon as possible to see if we can find some clues."
The three bodies that have been confirmed so far have all appeared in relatively remote places. There are no surveillance equipment around and no witnesses, as if they appeared out of thin air.
Because there is no spirit on his body and no signs of any evil spirit causing trouble, it is difficult to find out the truth by either esoteric or worldly means.
The more elaborate the other party's arrangements are, the longer they have prepared, and the more unbearable the consequences will be.
Lin Zhi: "You can leave now."
In order to facilitate Lian Qing's travel, several people came specially at night.
The three bodies were transported to the nearest funeral home in Yu City using emergency means, where there was a special reception area.
Because they were frozen, the three bodies were not very decayed.
Lin Zhi stood near the corpse and looked at it. Even people with great skills couldn't see it, let alone an ordinary person like him, so he took a few glances and then focused his attention elsewhere, poking the system that had been silent for a long time.
01: [Host, what's wrong? 】
The electronic sound of 01 is a bit vague, with some erratic delay.
What are you doing? So quiet lately? 】
【Watch cartoons!】 There are many film sources in this world that are not in my system library, so I will include them all! 】
Lin Zhi understood. This was no different from 01 falling into a honey pot, with his whole body covered in sticky honey and unable to fly.
[Okay, go ahead and watch it. I won’t bother you anymore.] 】
Lin Zhi said with a smile, he didn't like things that were threatening or controlling to him, the system's character was very much in line with his preferences, just like a child, there was nothing wrong in pampering it.
01 was dragged out by the host, and finally used its brain, which was fully occupied by cartoons, to think about serious matters.
[Host, we should have put it together, but I still haven't received any reminders about the redemption mission. It seems that this thing has disappeared, or we have completed it. 】
[I have checked that the program is running properly and there are no errors. It’s just that the master wants to keep you here. Why? 】
[Wouldn’t it be nice if we could complete this mission as soon as possible and return to the real world together? 】
The system doesn’t understand, but everyone has already figured it out.
[Just keep it, what’s the problem? Go watch cartoons.] 】
Lin Zhi's tone was like an adult coaxing an ignorant child, and he didn't give too much explanation.
Each fragment of a lover is different, and Lin Zhi does have a preference for those that better suit his preferences, but that does not prevent him from treating every fragment equally.
Even though he didn't have much interaction with Lian Qing, it didn't mean that he would get along with him eagerly, hastily and mechanically as if he was completing a task.
This is unfair to Lian Qing, and it is also unfair to his complete lover. He cherishes every wound on his body. After all, every one of them has its own cuteness.
Lian Qing felt his lover's gaze, but he did not turn his head to ask. Instead, the negative energy in his body became agitated.
"It is indeed strange. The cause and effect of their sins are on several people, and the cause and effect lines connecting each one are different."
Lian Qing stopped calculating, his eyes full of thoughts.
Although there is an evil force behind this game, there must be someone behind it, so it is not surprising that these people died at the hands of someone, but what is strange is that the directions of the cause and effect lines for the three of them are not the same.
Where do so many murderers come from?
Shuang Ling took a breath and said, "Could it be that they were dragged into the game and then killed by the other people in the car?"
They began to speculate that someone was taking advantage of this incident to reap souls, and that they were worshipping the Train God so that they could be marked by evil spirits, and then they would be planned to disappear or be killed. Now it seems that they have really entered such a strange ghostland?
"If that's the case, it's a good trick. They don't dirty their hands by killing their own kind."
Chen Kuo sneered, obviously very angry.
Xuanshi can use his own methods to find the murderer, but if he is surrounded by such a fog, it will be difficult to know who is behind it.
Lin Zhi thought that the other party was indeed well prepared. For those who were involved in the ghost story, the more they believed it to be true, the more unbreakable the rules of the ghost story became.
Those who have played the train game and worshipped the train god, following the rules in order not to die, will instead push themselves further into the abyss of death.
Lian Qing looked at Gu Xing and said, "Lend me your blood."
He didn't say anything more and urged Gu Xing to go quickly with his eyes.
Gu Xing bit his fingertip without hesitation, letting the blood drip. Lian Qing used his ghost power to condense the blood and drew a talisman on one of the corpses.
"Please ask the Three Corpse Gods to report your whereabouts before death?"
Gu Xing's eyes lit up. He had previously thought about looking for the place where the deceased had last disappeared in order to find clues, but he had used modern criminal investigation methods and had not thought about this.
It’s not that he doesn’t have the brain, it’s that he doesn’t have the ability, so he doesn’t think of this solution.
Nowadays, spiritual energy is becoming increasingly weak, and the mysterious sect is declining. It is neither good nor bad to say it, but it is also good that at least the ability of evil spirits to cause trouble has been greatly reduced.
However, using his blood does not seem to be the best choice. After all, senior brother has become a ghost now. It would be better to use the blood of someone who has similar yin energy to him, preferably someone who worships him.
Gu Xing quickly glanced at Lin Zhi and then looked away. Forget it, just use his.
The Great Induction Chapter says: "There are three corpse gods in the human body. Every Gengshen day, they will go to the heavenly court to report people's sins."
The three corpse gods monitor the human body, so they naturally know where the deceased went before death.
The Three Corpse Gods descended and Lian Qing asked questions. Everyone present, except Lin Zhi and Chen Kuo, listened attentively.
Although Chen Kuo is the director of the Special Division, he does not have the ability to see ghosts and does not even know any mysterious arts. He is a political leader. Although he is an amateur guiding professionals, due to the special nature of the department, he never gives blind orders.
Lin Zhi's eyes went dark, and when he opened them again he found himself in a world of ghosts. Lian Qing saw that he was curious, so he temporarily lent him the ghost eye.
Gu Xing was shocked to see that his senior brother's eyes suddenly became empty. He then saw that his senior brother closed his eyes and saw Lin Zhi's ghost eyes. He felt a pain in his teeth in the chilly environment of the funeral home.
Lian Qing asked the three corpse gods of three people and found out two different locations.
Xu Xiaoyu: "It seems that they have more than one gathering place. I will have people lead the teams separately."
Shuang Ling gave Gu Xing a band-aid and stuffed him with a snack of dates and walnuts to replenish his blood, and also gave one to everyone.
Chen Kuo had no appetite to eat in front of the corpse, but Lin Zhi thought the snack smelled quite nice, so she ate half of it. The remaining half was sucked clean by Lian Qing, and then ground into powder and thrown into the trash can.
Lin Zhi and Gu Xing went together to the destination with the highest degree of overlap.
It is a not very famous mountain, not a tourist attraction, and the scenery is not very beautiful, so it does not attract many hikers.
However, there is a homestay at the foot of the mountain, which is decorated in a log style and looks very warm.
Lian Qing nodded slightly to Gu Xing as soon as he entered. Since he entered, the breath that flashed through the air was exactly the same as what he felt when he was playing the game.
Now that we have found the place, the problem is easy to solve.
Gu Xing had his men surround the B&B and showed their identification to conduct a search.
The owner of the B&B was a little confused and stood tremblingly aside while the police searched.
Not long after, Gu Xing dug out a box from under a tree in the yard. Inside was a palm-sized wooden statue with very blurry facial features.
"Hey? This thing is not ours. A while ago, a guest came here and said that this box contained love letters that he had not been able to send. He hoped to bury it under the tree at my house. Maybe the person he likes can find it in the future. I thought it was quite romantic, so I agreed. I had no idea that there was such a thing in it."
The innkeeper looked at the wooden box in Gu Xing's hand and shook his head, muttering to himself, "Are all the things buried by criminals so strange these days?"
Gu Xing felt an indescribable aura of disobedience from this strange statue. He closed the lid and prepared to continue questioning the guest, but found that Lin Zhi, who was not far away, seemed to be in a wrong state.
He walked over immediately and found that the other person's body was shaking and his soul had left his body.
"Lin Zhi?"
"Brother?"
——You are travelers lost in a strange time and space
——I heard that there is a shuttle train in the city that can travel through time and space
That's your only hope of returning home.
Lin Zhi woke up from his drowsy state and heard someone say this in his ear.
He immediately opened his eyes and found himself on a rickety minibus.
Lin Zhi remembered that he took one look at the statue and his condition immediately became abnormal. He grabbed Lian Qing's hand tightly and then came here.
01: [Host, your soul has been pulled into a very strange space, but the master has followed you in, don't worry. 】
This kind of thing becomes familiar after a while, and 01 is no longer the panicked electronics novice he was before.
Lin Zhi looked around. He was the only passenger in the car and there was no sign of Lian Qing.
Suddenly, a cold breath came from the ring finger. Lin Zhi looked down at the ring on her hand and knew where Lian Qing was.
Soon, passengers began to appear on the bus one after another.
Everyone was dressed differently, but they all looked equally frightened and at a loss.
Everyone who comes here has played the train game and everyone knows the rules of the game.
When the eighth person appeared on the train, the atmosphere began to become subtle and tense.
Lin Zhi was not interested in observing other people's reactions, nor was he interested in playing Werewolf. He lowered his head and twirled the ring on his hand, then stood up amid everyone's mixed reactions.
Since he knew that this was a ghostland, he certainly had no intention of following the rules. It was not his style to follow a route planned by others. He might as well flip over the chessboard and see what was at the end. If it happened to be the person who devoured souls, that would be a coincidence.
"Why do you want to go down there? Once you go down there, you may never come back."
"You will surely die if you go down."
Most people would not watch their compatriots blindly die, let alone watch a good-looking young man die.
Lin Zhi curled her lips slightly: "It's okay, my lover is waiting for me."
The young man walked towards the darkness calmly. The girl who was leaning against the car window and first spoke to give him advice rubbed her eyes and shuddered.
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but a long ghost shadow seemed to suddenly appear behind the young man.
