"You can't go in here, everyone please step back."
In the eastern suburbs of Lin'an City, a grayish-white fog enveloped seven or eight high-rise buildings, preventing people inside from getting out, but allowing people outside to enter.
The area was now surrounded by heavily armed troops, with a small number of police officers maintaining order on the outer perimeter.
The reason for maintaining order is that a large number of people have gathered here and are trying to break in.
"It's been over two days already, you guys better think of something!"
"My daughter is inside. She says she's been kidnapped by some strange force. Please, please come and rescue her!"
"With so many soldiers, couldn't they just rush in and rescue them?"
These people all have relatives trapped inside, and more than two days have passed, so it's understandable that they are emotionally agitated.
A young policeman stood at the front of the crowd, looking worried, but still trying to reassure the people.
"Listen up, everyone. The professionals who specialize in handling paranormal events have already gone in and are inside right now. Don't worry, just wait a little longer, and we'll have results soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a chorus of complaints.
"Is that what you said yesterday? Are you going to say it again tomorrow?"
"They're all useless. Give me a gun, and I'll go save them."
Public sentiment is growing stronger.
But at that moment, a bus suddenly appeared beside them.
Silent and without a sound, it seemed to arrive from nowhere. It landed directly in front of them, less than a meter away.
"A... a ghost car?"
"Another bizarre incident!"
The public is now aware of the existence of the eerie, and understands its horror and wonder.
Upon seeing the bus appear like a ghost, they were immediately terrified and scattered, and no one dared to gather there anymore.
The soldiers guarding the perimeter of the gray fog did not move; each of them had a serious expression and gripped their rifles tightly.
There were also eight or nine people in black uniforms nearby, who were from the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, and they all became alert.
Under the watchful eyes of many, the bus doors opened, and Xia Tianqiong stepped off, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"It's quite lively here!"
He originally intended to drive the bus directly downstairs, but was blocked by some force, and the bus stopped outside the fog.
"Are you Xia Tianqiong?"
A middle-aged man in a black uniform recognized him.
Xia Tianqiong looked closely, but realized she had never seen this person before.
"You know me?"
"Everyone in the Bureau of Strange Affairs has been looking for you these past two days."
The middle-aged man spoke in a neutral tone, revealing no emotion.
Xia Tianqiong was somewhat surprised, unable to guess whether the Bureau had contacted him about cooperation or because of the two ghost hunters he had killed.
He tentatively asked, "What do you want with me?"
"I don't know, please go to the Administration Bureau as soon as possible."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go once this is resolved."
As he spoke, Xia Tianqiong stepped into the gray mist, preparing to enter it.
The middle-aged man in black stopped him, saying, "This place is not open to the public."
"I'm here to resolve the strange events happening here."
“Our Bureau’s ghost hunters will handle this themselves; we don’t need outsiders to get involved. What you should do now is go to the Bureau.”
The middle-aged man suddenly became serious.
Xia Tianqiong glanced at the sky; the sun was about to set. She didn't want to delay any longer, as she feared she might miss the last opportunity if she was late.
"If we wait for you to solve this, who knows how long it will take!"
He said something with a faint smile, and then suddenly disappeared.
The middle-aged man looked grim. After a brief silence, he immediately reported the matter to the management bureau.
Xia Tianqiong teleported directly into the gray fog, which felt very similar to the fog surrounding the Wujian Restaurant, except that there was only a thin layer on the outside.
The difference is that the fog here doesn't block signals, so you can make and receive phone calls.
"I've come, where are you?"
"So fast?"
Song Shiqiao's surprised voice came through the phone. She had just called Xia Tianqiong less than five minutes ago.
"I'm in the building where we last met, room 801 on the eighth floor."
"I'll be right there."
Xia Tianqiong hung up the phone and was about to go find Song Shiqiao when he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the path on his right.
The environment here is extremely green, with ornamental trees and flowers everywhere, and the air is fresh.
But this also obstructs the view.
A figure suddenly darted out and blocked their way.
"What a handsome young man, what a fresh and youthful appearance!"
The figure was a woman, dressed in an ancient long dress, and soaking wet, as if she had just crawled out of the water.
His whole body was swollen, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were bulging and bloodshot.
This creature looks like a drowned ghost.
It looked at Xia Tianqiong with excitement in its eyes, like a lecherous wolf seeing a beautiful woman, even showing a hint of lust.
"Young master, I've taken a liking to you. Let's have a ghost marriage!"
The drowning ghost spoke in a conciliatory tone, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly attacked.
It raised its hand and grabbed at the air, conjuring a ball of water that quickly transformed into an arm and reached out to grab Xia Tianqiong.
Xia Tianqiong stood there calmly, thinking to herself, "This little wild ghost dares to cause trouble."
The next moment, his figure disappeared.
The drowned ghost stared in disbelief, frozen in place.
It then realized that it had messed with the wrong person.
Immediately afterwards, he was patted on the shoulder and then lost in thought.
Xia Tianqiong neither killed nor sealed it, but temporarily put it into the mirror space and entrusted it to the Hanging Ghost for guarding.
This scenario has a special rule: you can physically fight each other, but you cannot kill each other, otherwise the death rule will be triggered.
