Chapter 141 Datai City 6
This grandmother originally had an old partner and they lived in their own home.
The son and daughter-in-law are doing very well in other places and send them a lot of money every year. Together with the considerable pension, the old couple live a good life if there were no colorful ghost outbreak.
Her husband is good in every way except that he is sensitive and always sighs. He worries about family and country affairs, the future of his children and grandchildren, and many other things, even if they are not big things. For example, when he sees a sanitation worker outside who is struggling but still has to work to support himself, he sighs when he comes back.
After the outbreak of the colorful ghosts, he became even more worried about the country and humanity.
In the past, when he was worried, she would ignore him and let him worry, because she knew that after he worried for a while and found that no one cared about him, he would slowly get better.
When he was so worried that he stayed in the study all day and didn't come out, she realized the seriousness of the situation. She opened the study door and called him out for dinner, scolding him as she did before.
In the past, when she scolded him, he always listened silently, and after being scolded for a while, he would listen to her and do things. This was also the reason why he was often frowning, and why she could live with him for so many years.
But that time, she saw the look in his eyes when he looked up at her, full of anger and hatred, as if he wanted to kill her.
"Why did I marry a heartless woman like you? Are you a human being?" he said with tears.
At that moment, she realized that something was wrong with the man she had slept with for decades.
She immediately closed the door of the study and hurried to the living room to call her son who was out of town. As soon as she picked up the phone, she gave up and called the Security Bureau instead.
"Hello, this is the Security Bureau. How can I help you?"
"My old man seems to have a problem. He's like a different person. Can you come and save him as soon as possible? I'm afraid something might happen to him."
"Please describe his situation in detail."
"He stayed in the study room all day and didn't come out. When I called him to eat, he looked at me with hatred and was crying. Was he attacked by a colorful ghost?"
"How long has this situation been going on?"
"No more than a day at most. He looked normal when he woke up this morning."
"Are you sure it's so short?"
"Sure, I'm sure."
"Okay, please leave your address and someone from the Security Bureau will be there soon."
Sure enough, the security bureau people arrived immediately.
The colorful ghosts were also quickly eliminated.
However, her husband also left this world.
He died in that house, his body was charred, and she seemed to have hallucinations. She could always smell the burnt smell of his body, the smell of a human.
"The security people apologized to me and said they were very sorry. He was crazy and had been struggling and wanted to commit suicide."
The old lady said, "I know that after being attacked by a colorful ghost, a person will go crazy and kill or commit suicide, but why did he become a charred corpse?"
"They said that my old man wanted to kill a member of the Security Bureau, so they had no choice but to vent their anger on him."
"I still felt it was far-fetched and always wanted an explanation. During this process, I met several people who asked the security bureau for an explanation, and I discovered our common ground."
The old lady said: "All of our family members died when the security bureau came to deal with the colorful ghosts, and they were all people who had just been attacked by the colorful ghosts not long ago."
"I just remembered that when I called the security bureau, they asked me to confirm whether the time my wife was attacked by the colorful ghost was really that short."
"A young boy told me that people on the Internet have been speculating for a long time that there is a way to eliminate the colorful ghosts. The colorful ghosts will parasitize people, and the so-called attack is parasitism. When the colorful ghosts first parasitize, killing the person they parasitize can completely eliminate the colorful ghost."
The restaurant fell silent from the moment she started speaking, until she reached this point, the quiet restaurant was thrown into an uproar.
Xia Bai glanced at Ling Changye, then looked at the others. The faces of several players were not very good.
How can it be good to watch? If it is true, the game is guiding humans to kill each other.
"But, don't many people commit suicide after being attacked by colorful ghosts? Will suicide also eliminate the colorful ghosts?" Chang He asked.
She asked a key point. They all knew that most of the people attacked by colorful ghosts died. If people died, the colorful ghosts would be eliminated. Then why did the colorful ghosts become so rampant?
"When a person is forced to commit suicide, the parasitic colored ghosts are probably full. They become stronger and can wander outside for a long time, looking for the next person to parasitize," said the old lady.
"Was the masked woman in the restaurant this morning attacked by a colorful ghost?" someone asked.
"Then we, we have to kill her quickly! Otherwise, the colorful ghost in her body will attack us next!"
"She's going to die anyway, so why not take a colorful ghost with her."
"Which room does she live in?"
"On the fifth floor! Fifth floor!"
Shi An saw this and said hurriedly: "Everyone be quiet, we are not sure whether this method is correct or not. What about others, do they know anything else?"
The old lady's voice became sharper. "It's true! It's absolutely true! If you don't believe me, think carefully about all the things related to colored ghosts in the past. Some colored ghosts were quickly eliminated by the Security Bureau, while some colored ghosts have already come out of the bodies of people who committed suicide and have eaten their fill. It is very difficult for the Security Bureau to eliminate them."
"Yes, it seems to be true."
"I also thought of this. This situation also occurs in our community."
"We have to hurry, or the Caigui will become more difficult to deal with."
"I didn't mean to ask you to kill the girl." The old lady sighed, "I didn't want to tell you in the first place, but you kept asking and wanted to know."
Changhe pushed his glasses and left quietly.
Shi An said, "No, maybe there are other ways? Let's think about it again. Anything related will do."
However, many people are no longer in the mood to talk and want to kill the masked woman quickly.
Some people have already left the restaurant to look for her. The person in front is the big brother who bumped into Wanwan in the morning. His apology in the morning is in sharp contrast to his behavior at this moment. He looks a little flustered and angry, as if he had bumped into someone who was parasitized by the colorful ghost and would be infected and targeted by the colorful ghost.
Yang Mei asked in a low voice: "What should we do?"
No one else spoke.
As a member of the assault team, they were completely standing on the standpoint of completing the game. They should not intervene at this time and use Wanwan to test whether what the old man said was right or not.
Xia Bai asked: "Do you think what the old man said is true?"
"I feel it should be true." Hua Haoming said, "We have discussed this before. Emotion monsters are related to human emotions and are difficult to eliminate. When emotion monsters are eliminated, the emotions are gone. How can emotions disappear? When a person dies. Similarly, it is reasonable for emotion monsters to parasitize in the human body. Emotions are already in the human heart."
Zhou Buyu nodded. "And this also explains why we haven't seen any emotional monsters yet. They are rarely seen because most of the time they parasitize the human body."
"That should be the case." Yang Yi concluded: "The emotion monster may need the corresponding emotion. When a person's emotion is very obvious, it will find this person and parasitize on this person's body. At the same time, due to the parasitism of the emotion monster, this person's emotions will continue to grow. When it reaches a level that is unbearable, the person will commit suicide or kill others to vent. "
"During this process, his increased emotions will nourish the emotion monster, making it stronger. When he is dying, the emotion monster will leave him and look for the next host, one after another, becoming stronger."
Wen Yuxin said: "In this case, we really need to kill it in time, before it becomes stronger. The game is guiding us humans to kill each other, and in the process of killing each other, it can absorb more resentful energy. Thinking this way, everything makes sense."
Xia Bai: "Since you all think that old lady is right, why do you need to verify it again with Wan Wan?"
Ling Changye: "Even if we don't verify it, we still have to eliminate the colorful ghost. If we don't eliminate it in Wanwan's body, it will harm the next person. At that time, it will not only cause the death of Wanwan."
Xia Bai pursed his lips and said, "You're right, but if she holds on, the shame monster will always be in her body, and she will hold it back."
"The shame monster will soon become stronger in her body and can leave at any time, and she is in too much pain." Hua Haoming said: "The captain has already saved her life once, so we will not intervene this time and just regard it as a compensation."
A few residents who were running ahead had already reached the fourth floor, and they saw a blue scarf on the stairs between the fifth and fourth floors.
"Oh no! She ran away!"
"On the fourth floor! Or maybe he ran out of the hotel."
"If they run out of the hotel, we will not care. Let's check if there is anyone on the fourth floor first."
After everyone went to the fourth floor, the door of room 504 was opened, and Changhe continued to walk towards her room carrying the person wrapped like a dumpling.
"I really don't know why I saved you." Chang He panted, "You wanted to die when someone saw your face. Now that I'm carrying you so intimately, do you want to die even more?"
"Hold on! You haven't realized how beautiful you are yet."
"Hold on. Once you leave the game, I will make you a star. By then, tens of millions of people will praise you for your beauty."
Chang He felt the warm liquid on her neck and closed her eyes. "Why are you crying? Isn't it just an emotional monster? Isn't it just shame? You have to overcome it!"
"You have accumulated so much shame since childhood. If you still can't overcome a single feeling of shame, this is the biggest shame!"
After scolding her until she was exhausted, she finally carried this hot beauty who was much taller than her to her room and locked her in the closet.
The people who searched in vain returned to the fifth floor, and some of them soon realized that the scarf might have been thrown there intentionally.
When Ling Changye rescued Wanwan who was about to commit suicide, many people were watching outside her room. When they saw Changhe say that she knew Wanwan, they thought it might be Changhe who did it.
Wanwan might be on the fifth floor, so they searched room by room.
Several veteran players followed them, but instead of searching for Wanwan, they took the opportunity to look for clues in other people's rooms.
They were mainly providing cover, mostly Erwa's branches and sister Xuemu's hair doing this, secretly stuffing all the things that might contain clues into the space props, especially those in the NPC room.
By then, even if someone discovers that something is missing, who would know who took it?
A lot of people are looking for someone.
Soon, the others found Changhe's room and knocked on the door.
The door was closed and there was no sound from inside.
"She must be in there! Where's the room card we found at the front desk?"
"Just kick it, kick, kick, kick!"
When the big brother in front kicked the door, the door was opened and Changhe, who opened the door, was kicked down by him.
He was so strong that after Changhe was knocked down by him, he slid half a meter on the ground.
She lay quietly on the ground, without making any sound, just looking at him with extremely terrified eyes.
The eldest brother was panicked by her look, as if something was wrong with him, "What are you looking at! What are you looking at!"
As he said this he walked towards her angrily, as if he was going to use violence to force her to close her eyes.
“Colorful ghost!” Chang He kept backing away. The pain and fear on her face made her look miserable and helpless. “He has a colorful ghost on him. He wants to kill me!”
Everyone around looked at the big brother.
"What the hell are you talking about!" the eldest brother said in panic and anger.
"Colorful ghost! Colorful ghost! There is a colorful ghost on him! There is a colorful ghost!"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" The veins on the eldest brother's forehead were about to pop out. He picked up a chair and smashed it at her, "I told you to shut up!"
In just one stroke, a large, blinding pool of blood appeared on Changhe's head.
She was still shouting, "He has a colored ghost on him, he's going to kill me!"
“Shut up!!!” The eldest brother picked up the chair and was about to hit her again.
“Bang!——”
The eldest brother opened his eyes wide, and the blood flowing from the top of his head quickly rushed into his eyes, forming blood pools.
A young man was one step faster than him. He used the hammer that Xia Bai had used to break down the door to hit him on the head, muttering, "Colorful ghost, colorful ghost..."
Seeing the big brother turning his bloody head, he hit him several more times until he fell to the ground motionless.
My eldest brother is dead.
The blood spread outward from his head, continuously flowing out of his body, just like his life.
Soon, a black gas came out from his body. Like a tire with its valve core removed, the black gas scattered everywhere, floating on the blood for a few seconds before slowly disappearing.
"Colorful ghosts! There really are colorful ghosts! Black ones!" said a man, pointing at the black gas that was about to dissipate.
Xia Bai hurriedly squeezed in and took a last look at the black air before it disappeared.
Then he looked at Changhe who was lying on the ground, and saw surprise in her eyes.
"Is this, the colorful ghost eliminated?"
"They were destroyed. Originally, they looked very much like humans. Now, they are just like spirits that have been shattered?"
"Killing the person the colorful ghost is parasitizing can really eliminate the colorful ghost!"
"I've already told you." The old lady's voice came from the back of the crowd, "Killing them will eliminate the colorful ghosts. Do you believe me now?"
Chang He sat up from the ground, looked over, and said, "We have only eliminated one black ghost. There are other colored ghosts in our hotel. They may be in some people's bodies now. Everyone should be careful to identify them."
Seeing everyone looking at her again, she said, "I've also heard a little bit about the colorful ghosts. When the colorful ghosts first parasitize a person's body, the person will not go crazy immediately. The initial characteristic is a big mood swing, anger, sadness, anxiety, fear, etc. Think about what you have come into contact with and heard, is it true?"
"Now that you mention it, it's true."
"Yes, yes, that's what I thought at the time. It's not necessarily crazy. The child in our neighbor's house was crying all the time."
"So..." Chang He wiped the blood off his face, "We need to find out who is parasitized by the colorful ghost and eliminate it as soon as possible. We need to see who is more emotional."
Xia Bai withdrew.
He looked at Hua Haoming beside him, and Hua Haoming raised his eyebrows.
They all realized how powerful Chang He was, so no one should be angry or excited and force her now.
"Let her say whatever she wants to say." Ling Changye said as he reached the stairs, "No matter who is in charge of this matter, we don't need to interfere."
The main thing is that it has now been proven that killing a person who is being parasitized by a colorful ghost can indeed eliminate the colorful ghost in his body. If they can eliminate all the colorful ghosts in the hotel, then they may be able to leave the hotel.
"Originally, we wanted to find a way to eliminate the colorful ghosts as soon as possible and bring this method out." Yang Mei said, "But..."
They all knew what he didn't say.
But, do they still need to spread this news quickly?
By then, a situation in which humans will really kill each other may occur. Who can know who has a colorful ghost in their body, and who can prove that they don’t have a colorful ghost in their body?
Just like Changhe, she didn't know at first that there was a colorful ghost in the big brother's body, otherwise she would not be surprised to see the colorful ghost in the big brother's body dissipate.
The final approach may be to rather kill the wrong person than let him go. The blood of those who really have the colored ghost in their body and those who were wrongly killed will flow into a river.
The more people who die unjustly, the more resentment there is, and the more energy the game replenishes.
However, if this news is not spread, the colored ghosts will become more rampant and more difficult to deal with. By then, it will be impossible to completely eliminate these colored ghosts, and they will all fail in the game and die.
"I don't think we need to dwell on this issue." Ling Changye said, "People in other parts of Datai City may soon know, or already know, how to eliminate the colored ghosts."
Hua Haoming asked: "Then we..."
"We have no choice but to eliminate the colorful ghosts as soon as possible. At the moment, we still have to eliminate the colorful ghosts here before we can leave here." Ling Changye said.
They were silent for a few seconds, then they explained what they understood.
That's right, no matter what, they must leave here as soon as possible.
Zhou Buyu said: "Then next, we have to take the initiative to identify those who have colorful ghosts in their bodies and kill them."
Ling Changye turned his head and looked out the window. "Doesn't the game say that humanity is in a doomsday crisis? Just treat them as people infected by the zombie virus in the apocalypse."
"I understand." Hua Haoming looked around at the people and said, "I'm going to kill Wanwan right now."
"I'll go." Zhou Buyu said, "We need to find where she is first. You're definitely not as fast as me."
"Forget it." Wen Yuxin looked at her with a mocking expression, "Look at how you can't bear to see her every time. I'd better go. I'm really afraid that you will betray the organization."
Seeing that Yang Mei was about to speak, Xia Bai said, "Why don't we use her as a control group and observe her further? Perhaps we can find more clues about the colorful ghost from her."
Several people looked at Ling Changye, who nodded and said, "We can observe for a while longer and find out where the other colorful ghosts are first."
"The colorful ghost that was just eliminated might be an anger monster or an anxiety monster. If it is an anger monster, then our hotel also has at least a shame monster, a sadness monster, an anxiety monster, and a fear monster. In addition to these, there may be others."
Ling Changye assigned them tasks. Xia Bai and Erwa were to organize the new evidence that Erwa and Xuemu had found today. The others were divided into groups to observe other residents and initially identify any suspicious persons.
When Xia Bai was about to leave, he looked down and saw something unusual on Erwa, "Erwa, why did your flower turn black?"
A few people looked down and saw that there was a small white flower on Erwa's ear that had turned black.
Thinking of the black air that had just dissipated from the big brother's body, Xia Bai hurriedly plucked the blackened little flower off.
One hand was a step slower than him, and Yang Yi's hand turned to Xia Bai, "Give it to me, let me try to capture the energy inside."
Xia Bai heard a hint of excitement in his tone, and he knew why.
Yang Yi brought all his instruments to the hotel, and before the game started, he tested his newly improved instruments for them. The game was launched, with the real Datai City as the map, so all his instruments were there at this time.
Yang Yi's instruments are best at capturing and analyzing energy. When people come out of the game, the game energy they carry can be captured. If he is allowed to record the colorful ghost energy, perhaps his instruments will be able to identify which people have colorful ghosts in their bodies.
Then, half of their problem would be solved.
But Xia Bai didn't give it to him. He said, "This is Erwa's thing. You need his consent."
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment and looked at Erwa.
Yang Mei reacted, looked at Xia Bai, then at Erwa, and asked him: "Brother, have you apologized to Erwa?"
Yang Yi didn't say anything. Erwa handed the small black flower in Xia Bai's hand to Yang Yi and said, "I apologize. Come on."
Now Xia Bai was the one who was stunned. He asked Erwa, "Did he apologize to you? When?"
"After the game at Dahui No. 2 Middle School, you all fell asleep after coming out of Dahui No. 2 Middle School, but he didn't." Erwa waved his hands and said, "He came to apologize to me and told me about his childhood. We have the same experience, the same thing. I don't blame him."
Xia Bai looked at Yang Yi. He was the one who questioned him in the game at Dahui No. 2 Middle School. He didn't expect that he would go to apologize to Erwa as soon as he left the game when they both couldn't hold on and fell asleep.
Yang Yi said nothing and left with the little black flower.
After the other players went to do their tasks, Xia Bai squatted down and asked Erwa: "You forgive him now, weren't you scared to death by him at that time?"
"I was young then." Erwa said seriously, "I was afraid of everything. Now that I'm grown up, those things are nothing. I'm really great."
Xia Bai smiled and rubbed his head, "You've really grown up."
Little white flowers popped up on Erwa's head. "Little Yang Yi is so pitiful. There are people who love me so I can grow up. There is no one who loves him so he can't grow up."
