After falling back, Xiang Yan was no longer sleepy. He just stared at the ceiling with his eyes open in a daze.
[?] As soon as the system came back from playing cards, it saw its host staring blankly at the ceiling. After thinking for a while, it asked: [Dear, what happened to you?]
[…………]
There was a pause.
If Xiang Yan's eyes had not been still open, the system would have suspected that he had fallen asleep.
After a while, there was a glimmer of light in Xiang Yan's dull eyes.
[Ah...] Xiang Yan opened his mouth and said slowly: [I just suddenly felt a little empty.]
A lot of things happened during this period of time. Although Xiang Yan was very busy, he actually had a sense of fulfillment in his heart.
And now... the Jealous Ghost and his companions have been captured, and the negative energy in the ancient town in the center of Xuzhou has also been resolved. Xiang Yan is a little uncomfortable with being idle all of a sudden.
[…………]The system listened to Xiang Yan’s words, fell silent for two seconds, and then placed a map in front of Xiang Yan.
[? ] After a pause, Xiang Yan looked at the map given by the system, [Is this... a map of Xuzhou City? Those red dots on it are... ghosts? ]
It's no wonder Xiang Yan made such a guess. After all, the system always talks about catching ghosts, catching ghosts, and catching ghosts. Xiang Yan sometimes wonders if the system has any special interest in ghosts. Every time it goes to catch ghosts, the system gets very excited.
[Yes, dear.] The system said in a somewhat excited tone: [These are the ghosts that exist in Xuzhou City now. You don’t have to worry about being bored or having nothing to do. There are so many ghosts.]
[……] Looking at the map full of red dots in front of him and listening to the excited words of the system, Xiang Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips and said with a smile: [Although I am a little bored, there is no need to put so many ghosts in front of me at once, right? ]
It was not until the system displayed the map that Xiang Yan realized that there were so many ghosts in Xuzhou City. There were almost one or two in every community.
In some places there are not even just one or two, but they are crowded together.
"But, when did you acquire the ability to know the locations of all the ghosts in Xuzhou?" Xiang Yan asked doubtfully.
Although the system's capabilities were gradually increasing as Xiang Yan collected energy, he felt that the system did not have this capability a few days ago?
[Hell is about to reopen, and the ghosts are gradually becoming active.] The system said: [Because when the ghosts are active, energy fluctuations will be generated. I specifically recorded the places where the fluctuations are generated so that I can know their locations.]
[So that's how it is.] Xiang Yan nodded and stopped worrying about the system's capabilities. After all, the two of them were partners, and a strong system would be good for him.
Putting aside the question about the system's capabilities, Xiang Yan turned to ask about hell.
[Is hell going to reopen? Then Yi Yuan won’t be exposed, right?] Xiang Yan asked a little nervously.
Because Ihara was the only ghost messenger in the human world before, he could act however he wanted. But when hell reopens, Ihara will inevitably meet other ghost messengers. If they find out that something is wrong with Ihara...
[Dear, calm down.] The system said to comfort him: [Ghost Messenger is just a job title after all. It is impossible for every Ghost Messenger to have the same personality.]
At this point, the system's voice couldn't help but pause. He suddenly remembered the ghost officials with different personalities that he had seen before. Ghost officials also have the same joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness as humans. Some are silent, some are lively, and some are dark...
When thinking of those ghost messengers with changeable personalities, the system couldn't help but feel tired.
However, he still comforted Xiang Yan on the surface: [Besides, I personally handled your identity, there will be no problem at all.]
The identity given to Yi Yuan by the system is not just an ordinary ghost messenger, so Xiang Yan doesn't have to worry about being exposed.
[…I hope so.] Xiang Yan still had great trust in the system, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart, and was a little nervous about meeting other ghost messengers.
…………No words were spoken that night.
The next day Xiang Yan arrived at school early.
After entering the school gate, he couldn't help but look up in the direction of the old campus, and then walked towards the teaching building.
Speaking of which, Xiang Yan's ghost-catching career seemed to have started from the old campus of Yanghuai No. 3 Middle School.
[According to my observation, there seems to be something in the old campus of your school...] The system saw Xiang Yan's gaze and couldn't help but speak.
However, he was interrupted by Xiang Yan before he could finish.
[Stop!] Xiang Yan said helplessly: [I still want to study peacefully, understand?]
[Understood, understood.] The system nodded, and did not continue to talk about the old campus of Yanghuai No. 3 Middle School, but instead talked about other things.
[Based on my observations, the passage between Hell and the human world may reopen next month.]
[Next month...] Xiang Yan came to the classroom and sat in his seat, [What should I do to prepare?]
Although Xiang Yan had not experienced it, he had heard the system talk about what happened when the passage between hell and the human world was closed.
At that time... the ground kept shaking, and the entire sky fell into a strange dark red color. All the ghosts on the ground revealed their figures, and then stared straight at the gap in the sky that only they could see.
In the eyes of the ghosts, the crack in the sky became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
After the gap disappeared, all the ghosts on the earth had one thought in their minds - hell disappeared!
At that time, a lot of things happened because of the disappearance of hell.
Those evil ghosts took the opportunity to do a lot of bad things.
Since there was such a big noise when hell disappeared, there will also be quite a lot of noise when it reappears, right?
Xiang Yan made a reasonable guess.
[Yes, the aura of hell has been overflowing recently, which is why ghosts and monsters have been active recently.] The system nodded affirmatively, [So when the channel is completely opened, there will be a lot of noise, at least in the eyes of ghosts and monsters and those Taoists and Buddhists, it will be very... conspicuous, so the ghost messenger must appear at that time, and even the ghost king must show up.]
In fact, the fluctuations caused by the opening and closing of hell rarely affect ordinary people, and ordinary people cannot see the fantastic scene in the sky. However, in the eyes of those who know the existence of ghosts...
Therefore, the ghost officials from hell must be present at the scene to maintain order, and the Ghost King...how could the Ghost King not show up on such a big event as the reopening of hell?
In short, when hell is reopened, although Xiang Yan's original body has nothing to do, his several shells will have their own tasks.
[I’m going to be busy again.] Xiang Yan sighed, but he was not impatient at all. Instead, he felt that his life was fulfilling again.
[I am really destined to be a hard worker. I don’t like to be idle, but I just like to be busy.] Xiang Yan complained about himself, [But... this kind of busy life is also good...]
As he encountered more and more ghosts, Xiang Yan was no longer as distressed and reluctant about the ghost-catching missions assigned by the system as he was at the beginning. Instead, he began to feel that this busy life made him full of energy.
"Good morning." As soon as Zhu Wenwen entered the classroom, she saw Xiang Yan supporting his chin with his hand, looking out the window with an admiring look. After looking at him for a few more seconds, she smiled and greeted him.
"Good morning." Xiang Yan withdrew his thoughts after hearing Zhu Wenwen's words, turned around and greeted her with a smile.
"Have you heard?" After sitting in her seat, Zhu Wenwen approached Xiang Yan mysteriously.
"Hmm?" Xiang Yan looked at Zhu Wenwen in confusion.
"Ahem." Zhu Wenwen whispered, "I heard that the South City Bus Station is closed. It seems to be because of... that thing."
Hearing Zhu Wenwen's words, Xiang Yan opened his eyes slightly in surprise.
Chengnan Bus Station can be said to be a very important transportation hub in Xuzhou City, with a very large passenger flow every day. If things develop to the point where the bus station has to be closed, that would be a big deal.
"Do you know what exactly happened?" Xiang Yan asked Zhu Wenwen.
Zhu Wenwen shook her head. "I don't know. The news was quickly blocked."
"It's a ghost riot." Class monitor Gu Anping, who had just walked into the classroom, heard the conversation between Zhu Wenwen and Xiang Yan and also walked over. "Someone from my family went to the scene and heard that ghosts from nearby suddenly rushed towards the South City Bus Station and then madly attacked the surroundings."
After a pause, Gu Anping continued, "The scene at the scene was really... horrible."
"Ghosts are raging..." Xiang Yan murmured softly, "Why did they suddenly rage?"
It is rare to see ghosts and monsters going on a rampage. After all, most ghosts and monsters prefer to fight alone and rarely gather together. Unless there is a big ghost who is powerful enough to overwhelm them and rule over them, they will not act together at all.
Therefore, this goblin rampage is very unusual.
[Could it be...] Xiang Yan paused, and suddenly remembered what he had just talked about with the system regarding the reopening of hell.
[It's possible.] The system said: [Hell has reopened. The aura it has released will have some impact on nearby ghosts, but I need to go to the scene to confirm it.]
[Well, let Yi Yuan go check it out later.] Xiang Yan saw the teacher walk into the classroom, and after saying something to the system, he sat up straight and looked at the blackboard.
When the teacher came in, Gu Anping and Zhu Wenwen returned to their seats and started attending the class seriously.
——————
As soon as he opened his eyes, part of Xiang Yan's consciousness woke up from Ihara's shell.
Walking out of the corner, Yi Yuan thought about it, let the system find Gao Yi's location, and then went there.
Now the only person he is familiar with officially is Gao Yi, and Gao Yi's behavior is usually not excessive, always keeping a balance that will not make Yi Yuan uncomfortable, so Yi Yuan still has a good impression of Gao Yi.
Generally, whenever Yiyuan needs to contact the official, he will find Gao Yi, which is really very convenient.
After walking for a while, Yi Yuan discovered Gao Yi's whereabouts.
Looking at Gao Yi who was fighting with ghosts not far away, Ihara felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar.
After thinking about it, Ihara remembered.
The first time he met Gao Yi was also because of goblins, and every time they met afterwards seemed to be because of goblins. Gao Yi was either fighting with goblins or on her way to fight with goblins.
Gao Yi, a woman dedicated to fighting ghosts.
After pausing for two seconds, Ihara raised his leg and walked over.
